DeLaRue:
Why do news like this make it to the front page of Nairaland, when it is completely irrelevant to Nigeria.

It is under the Foreign news segment on Nairaland.

Zackattack:
I wish we are civilize enough to make this type of call in Nigeria 🤦🏻‍♂️

Natasha own nko? That one no be called abi?! So you are not civilize shey?

jaxxy:
Those are the few yorubas who left their fathers backyards like the igbos. 😂

Not aimlessly as you can see.

Brendaniel:
And those that supported Buhari for 8 years and rewarded Tinubu by supporting him for his role in supporting Buhari to destroy Nigeria will now be called what?



The bigger question people like you should be asking is why a whole state government is agitated about an unknown person's tweet, terrorists are throwing party with threats on Tik Tok and the government isn't concerned, a lady tweets her own opinion without threats but they are agitated and you people are here t o promote it.

You want to tell me that you didn't hear Tinubu talk about the need for state police to curb the menace of insecurity, Mr Developer. 😁

YourKarma:
The first man to say Lagos is no man's land was a westerner. WHen an Igbo man said same thing you guys started shouting. A northerner has said same thing an now "he's being misinterpreted". Una dey amuse me

And who is this man. Tell us who?!

Vision101:
I love it when I drive into filling stations and I see them sitting down waiting for motorists. We know what we passed through in their hands in the past.

Fuel station are now doing advertisement on radio , doing bonanza sef. If you see how dem come humble. Chai.....😁.

Very wicked people!

jaxxy:
Go and tell that to those who developed and created America.

Lol 😂.

See the reality below.

LegendHero:

Ballmer:
When a country is populated by an enornous number of foolish souls from a particular section of it territory foolish n senseless submmission such as this is what you get.

That's why the Asaba man no gree for her. At all, at all.

casualobserver:
it was an irresponsible statement by Bwala. I have said it from the get go. Tinubu's media team are uncoordinated and incompetent. Truth must be told.

I distinguish between the presidents media team (bwala and co) and the ministry of Information. Tinubu's media boys are just sloppy and incompetent. Ministry of Information especially the minister is a good spokesman and probably the best minister of information since 1999 but his ministry too can do more.

He said so intentionally, to get a predictable reaction. Politicians do this a lot. Just like when Shettima said the presidency has no right to suspend a sitting governor. They are playing mind games. It's psychology. 😁

jaxxy:
On the contrary he's is tell u a great observation of life thst people who don't move from their fathers backyards don't know. and then wonder why a state is called no man's land.

No man's land is not an insult it is an observation of reality.

Na problem dey make person dey roam about shey you know. 😁

It's a big problem which Chinua Achebe alredy described in his book 'There was a country' about the flaws of his own tribesmen and women.

jaxxy:
A hausa fulani man once told me, There is a popular saying if u go anywhere in this world and u don't see an igbo man there please run from there.

He went further to say anywhere u see igbos anywhere know that industry, business and opportunities are happening or about to happen in that place.

I Rest my case!

He is trying to tell you that you are like them always roaming about every where. Lol 😂😂😂

Like Fulani like Igbo. 😁

chiagozien:
Yes we saw the maturity of him calling Lagos no man's land on national television

Lol 😂

Brendaniel:
Too late, we have recorded it, Lagos is no man's land

You can see the maturity of other tribes that have been living in Lagos long before the people of South East even know that there is a place called Lagos o! I hope you know this fact. But these people cherish the own origin and have no problem with Lagos at all o.

Kayceo2010:
Wahala be like wetin again. Ronus won't have anything to say coz it's coming from a northerner

Lol 😂. The Northerner has told you to not misinterpret him o. So make una rest Abeg.

They are coming to tell us that Bwala has been threatened by Tinubu. 😁

Their money should be paid o. But only to legitimate contractors who have done a good job.

Poisonousman:
I told you on twitter fews days ago when you asked me about your site nairaland.. the earlier you warn this Madridguy, yarimo, hielunes and softmirror guys to leave forum with their tribalism the better .. these guys are spoiling your business.

I am crying 😭. Please forgive me.

LagosOrigin:
The President's Special Adviser on Policy Communication was asked about the alleged lopsided ₦3.9trillion spent on infrastructure in Lagos in the last two years vis-a-vis other States of the Federation
Let me tell you why Lagos State is different, Lagos State is a no man's land. In the last election, the President who is from the South West did not win Lagos, that tells you the cosmopolitan nature of Lagos.

Secondly, the richest man in Africa is a Northerner. His business is not in Kano, it's in Lagos. Almost every rich man you know in Nigeria has his business undertaking in Lagos and the Nigerian people are represented in Lagos. You go to Lagos and if not probably majority of the people are Yoruba-speaking, you will wonder whether Lagos indeed is from the South West.

News source
Arise TV interview

Hahaha 🤣

Penguin2:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vAfLudkYRc?si=gcELELBrGDLIuD9F

Daniel Bwala, one of the Presidential Media Aides to Tinubu, has stated on Arise TV that Lagos State is a No Man’s Land and that’s why they didn’t include it in the infrastructure distribution chart that they drew up for Southwest.

I hope everyone can see it now before they say Igbos are the ones calling Lagos a No Man’s Land.

Hahaha 🤣

I am also a content creator ooooooooo. But, but, but...

Good to hear. The earlier the better for this reforms.

PotatoSalad:
Is vatican not less populated than iceland? Why aren't they on top? It's simple logic

Simple logic. It is influenced by Rome. Simple as A,B,C. Yet it ranks among the first five most peaceful.

casualobserver:
There is a thread about NIgerians not making the top 50 list of countries with High IQs.

This thread is an example.

Long write up, 4 pictures of politicians and not a single picture of the ibom hotels and golf resort.

You now see an example of why we dont make the list of high IQ countries?

Cc: softmirror

To the OP, we know what Eno looks like next time show the pictures of the hotel, instead of devoting all your 4 pictures to the governor.

But you are an African o. Your intelligence detected this.

It is simple psychology.

Bwala has achieved what he wanted by making such a controversial statement. The whole attention is now on what Lagos is or not.

That's the whole aim, a distraction from the essence.

This Datti Yusuf go single handedly finish coalition patapata. 😁

Bwala has achieved what he wanted by making such a controversial statement. The whole attention is now on what Lagos is or not.

That's the whole aim.

PotatoSalad:
With this your logic, Nigeria should have more power supply than China because we're less populated than China.
Omo who do una this thing no try.

Try and comprehend. It's simply logic very easy to understand.

Brendaniel:
And your god who you support in Aso rock found him perfect to be his spokesman, are you saying your god behaves like Bwala?

Of course because he understands your psychology.

Bwala has achieved what he wanted by making such a controversial statement. The whole attention is now on what Lagos is or not.

That's the whole aim.

thomas2024:
Success in academic doesn't make one to be intelligent. Intelligence is complex, a whole new adventure. Person fit know book make e no dey intelligent. Person fit dey intelligent make e no sabi book too . Hope you dig bah.

You are neither here nor there. You sound very intelligent.

Rindo69:
Why can't ALL local governments be peaceful? Even with their tiny population, if they wanted to be the least peaceful country, they can be. It just takes them to not have societal values. Nigerians lack societal values; every man for himself, every man for his needs and every man for his greed.

Try and comprehend. It's simply logic very easy to understand.

MaiDeribe:
While Aliko Dangote portrays himself as a self-made industrial titan, there is a compelling case to argue that he is, in fact, a full-fledged NEPO baby, leveraging inherited privilege and entrenched social networks to accelerate his rise:

1. Family Wealth and Influence
• Dangote’s maternal family, the Dantatas, were among West Africa’s wealthiest dynasties in the 1940s–1960s. Wealth here is not just financial, it’s social capital, political connections, and elite networks, all of which are invaluable in business.
• His paternal family also held wealth and influence, giving him access to elite education, mentorship, and exposure to high-stakes business early on.

2. Access to Capital and Networks
• Starting a cement trading business requires seed capital, banking trust, and industry connections. While Dangote claims he started small, the ease of accessing credit, suppliers, and contracts in Lagos is highly unlikely for someone without elite backing.
• Nepotistic leverage manifests subtly: his uncle provided initial guidance and a foothold in Lagos commerce, something most aspiring entrepreneurs never get.

3. Structural Advantage in Infrastructure & Government Contracts
• Dangote’s empire thrived in sectors historically dominated by politically connected elites, like cement, sugar, and oil.
• His success was facilitated by regulatory and government environments favoring those with insider knowledge and access. Ordinary entrepreneurs face significant barriers in these markets.

4. Branding as Self-Made While Benefiting from Legacy
• Public messaging frames Dangote as building from scratch, but cherry-picking “working with an uncle” while downplaying inherited social, educational, and network advantages is a classic NEPO narrative.
• True self-made billionaires rarely have direct family dynastic connections that shield them from systemic risks in emerging markets.


Congrats building it from the scratch, show some more empathy and sanitize your trucking system, too many Nigerians are dying for your profit.

Malali you better focus on your life. Your efforts can't change Dangote's destiny.
