AdUlAM:
Rauf did you pay any tuition fee to me. Or do I look like ur use of English lecturer Mr Akin? Gerard here.

🤣🤣🤣dindinrin, why then were you asking me stupeeed question…Otondo 😂😂

OdogwuAnambra:
Is osun , ondo , Ondo, ekiti, developed ?

Be claiming Lagos

😂😂😂pain is that you? NwOSU is Lagos on biafla map? Or you skipped geography in school and seem to forget the number of bridges you crossed before you arrived at Lagos…proudly Lagos, now you can use the lagooon if he pain you🤣🤣🤣

lilsmart:
It is a shame to me if my 3 year old daughter see me arguing with you. Cause you are not Socially Educated you might be able to read and write But you shouldn't be allowed to have Public debate outside You're sitting room


And please what is the meaning of Otondo. Is it like you name or surname. Because i am wandering why you would start your sentence with your family name.







Well I am now educated so I don't know the meaning of The word otundo

Can you please enlighten me what the meaning in you family house. Because i have never in my life heard of that word. Otundo. But it sounds like a surname and since you like using it it most have a very close ties to you or you family. So I am guessing family name

😂😂😂story for the gods bikonu nwanne….I’m not the cause of your frustration because you have been crying on my mention since morning. I made a comment about how Yorubas accommodating nature and safe environment is attracting investors to Lagos and Yoruba land and you start deflecting and talking a whole lot of nonsense and claiming the contribution of other ethnic nationalities to the development of Lagos pls how does that relate with the topic? If you can’t counter my claim with a superior argument, won’t you rather keep shut? I didnt base my argument on only Lagos but the Sw region but in Una typical nature, you centred everything around Lagos and I gave an example of Ogun state hosting most of the industries in Nigeria and I asked if it is not about a safe and conductive environment, then why is Sw still attracting more investment than other region and you deflecting talking nonsense. Most of you just come online and try to sound intelligent when you are far from it….this will be my last response to you, as I don’t have time to entertain ignorant comments bye

aribisala0:
They are not banking on the oil from the South South
Where do you get that from? That is YOUR assumption

It is a business and they can source oil from ANYWHERE

also they do not have to sell their products in Nigeria

Korea and India are among the largest refiners in the world they import their crude
For years Nigeria was importing petrol from European refineries which imported crude

The problem many of you have is ignorance and laziness
You do not need to be acocoa producer to make chocolate
70%of world cocoa is from Africa
You don't need to produce crude to refine

who be this one again? This is what happens when you fail to read and comprehend but rush to comment……your Okoro bloda that i quoted was making an ignorant comment and yapping about Yorubas and Hausas using SS oil to develop Yoruba land and I had to lecture him that SW are also a major producer of crude oil. You clowns have always gone to town claiming that Sw doesn’t produce crude oil and I had to educate him so I don’t understand this long piece of gibberish you quoting in my mention because I didn’t even bother to read it, so maybe you can direct your frustration at him biko

hatchy:
One doesn't need a suit sayer to know that almost all the people defending Tinubu for 30k stipend are uneducated and failures in whatever endeavours they find themselves.

Just imagine the kind of person that we'll engage in a national discourse.

It's really a shame.

🤣🤣🤣yes, and everyone supporting bitter obi is a billionaire and well educated….Okoro and upside logic, Una go cry tire 🤣🤣

lilsmart:
My core of my argument isn't to dismiss the Southwest's successes but to place them in a national context. The principle is this just as no single state can make a country, no one region can solely sustain a nation.

Lagos was indeed developed by people generations of them from every corner of Nigeria and beyond. Its safety for investment is built on

🤣🤣🤣otondo, continue deflecting…..we talking about the reasons investors chose Lagos and by extension Sw as their first choice of destination and here you yapping about how other nationalities contributed to it development….if the youbas were no peaceful and accommodating in nature will there be room for development or would other ethnic nationalities find it attractive to migrate to? And in my submission, I didn’t single out just Lagos but the entire SW region which is the most industrialised region of the country. You clowns just love to play down the contribution of the Yorubas in making their region what it is today and always quick to attribute it to the contribution of every other ethnic nationalities forgetting that Lagos was already more developed and far ahead of Nigeria before the amalgamation of Lagos colony and Nigeria. My point still remains that, due to the peace loving nature and accommodating nature of Yorubas, which as made the Sw region safe and conducive for investment, no one would ever thought of investment in yorubaland. When you make your region safe and peaceful, investors will come and invest their money and that’s is fact. So quit deflecting and alluding the success of Sw to others shikena

lilsmart:
Let's hit on the undeniable logistical truth the sheer scale of machinery for massive industrial projects like refineries makes Lagos's ports the only feasible entry point, as their unique capacity and heavy lift capabilities are unmatched elsewhere. The infamous struggle to transport Dangote's equipment from Lagos port to its site a journey within the same state exposes the impracticality of using other ports, which lack the draft, equipment, and connected heavy haul road networks.


This creates a vicious cycle where investors, seeking the path of least resistance and lowest risk, funnel all major projects through Lagos, inevitably choking the city.

what as all the incoherent gibberish got to do with that fact that Lagos and by extension Sw is still the safest region for investment? Aside from Lagos, Ogun is the most industrialised state, so you think it is just by coincidence that most investors chose to cite their investments in Ogun and also Ibadan which host a lot of industries? I asked a question, if it is not about safety and conducive environment, then why is Sw still attracting investors and not other region? Pls I don’t have time for senseless arguments this afternoon so avoid me and your nonsense gibberish

Flangelo12:
Safety has nothing to do with it?

Go to Sambisa to open a beer parlour na.

leave that clown to be yapping nonsense….if e reach hin turn, make he go invest him money for anambala or go zamfara make bandit show am shege😂😂

lilsmart:
1. Safety has nothing to do with it Because in those regions you claim are unsafe they still have Industries Even if it's not big. safety is safety.

Let me Use this as an example. If you have free plot Directly behind Your current house you are living And the land is unkept and Bushy You would definitely be expecting reptiles and rodent But as soon as you develop that property They Vanish

This tells you that development bring peace and Calmness to a society

2. The people of Ogun didn't misse the opportunity. They still have their land and can develop it any they want to.

Note: Them no dey catch late comers for development matter

you still end up saying nothing…if safety is not the reasons then why has Sw continued to attract more investment both local and foreign investment? Which sane investors will go and invest in a region like SE where ipob terrorist have made the place unsafe and locking down the region every Monday? Or SS that also have criminal elements holding sway with cultism, kidnapping, and at a point militancy. You can continue deceiving yourself but the fact remains that Sw is still the safest region and economically viable with a ready market for products manufactured by most of the industry domiciled here and having the necessary infrastructure such a seaport, airport, railways etc

2elliot:
Just imagine that it is Igbo land that all these refineries are springing up when they do not have the oil needed to run them and they are banking on the oil from South south, everyone would have opposed them. Today, the same south south that was shouting our oyel our oyel to the Igbos, have all kept quiet as the yaribas and the hawusa foolanis pillage the oil resources with reckless abandon.
Let the south south continue fooling themselves and be seeing the Igbos as their enemies, while the south west continue using the oil to industrialise their region and leave them behind.

dindinrin, so Sw don’t have oil? Ondo state alone produce more crude oil than you produce in your entire 5plot of unproductive land….Lagos and Ogun also have oil reserves but empty noise makers will be here chest beating about their 2 cup of palm oil😂😂😂

You remember di wahala wey dem see to carry Dangote him machines just from Lagos port go site for Lekki? Dat one na for inside Lagos sef! To carry dat kain load from Lagos port another state of Naija go be like to climb mountain with bicycle.

So, because investor no wan wahala, dem all dey rush Lagos, dey choke di city. Na why?

besides that, investors are looking for a safe and conducive environment for their business and only lagos and by extension SW provides that. The dangote refinery was initially planned for Ogun state like they rightly said but as a result of politic played by the former governor of ogun state and other factor, Ogun missed the opportunity. There is also another refinery being planned in Ondo state and Ogun state will also be having a sea port about to be constructed by dangote and it is no surprise that Ogun also as the highest number of industries in Nigeria, all this because of a safe environment and accommodating nature of the Yorubas who are peace loving people and progressives which some clowns misconstrue to be cowardice. But that as earn the SW the destination choice of investors and multinationals

Emeskhalifa:
Just an honest question that needs an honest answer

Why can't these refineries be built in other states of the country?

Lagos is extremely congested already while other states literally have nothing

so you will tell a private investor where to invest its money? So why re most ibos also leaving their region undeveloped to go and deverop ragos? This is the result of nzobu nzobu and no investor want to have their investment burnt down by some miscreant just because they want Biafra

Hedonisco:
Stop disturbing us with this senseless and tone deaf talk about "he should contest primaries". People like you who play the ostrich are the biggest problem.

Making noise all over the forum pretending like you don't know that contesting the primary means playing the corruption game with sleazy characters.. Bribing delegates with which money, just like your bat did. So Peter Obi should go against the very thing that his reputation is built on (prudence, accountability and squeaky clean corruption track record) just to please vultures like you?

then he should go form his own party and make the pope the party chairman and the rest of the party members can be pastors, born again Christians and the likes….Una Dey find saint for politics, Una never ready….bunch of clowns 😂😂😂😂

BItt:
Let me tell you a simple truth for free, Obi is now bigger than Atiku.
Apart from that, Atiku has been running since God knows when. Obviously, fate doesn't want him as a president for a very good reason.
Also Obasanjo dealt him a very huge blow with his book "My Watch". Everyone Nigerian deserves a copy of the book.

your bitter obi influence only end in your 5% dot republic……he will be badly beaten in 2027, the musilm/Muslim propaganda that won him election in most part of Nigeria won’t be there anymore, so stop dreaming…..he has lost more followers than he had across the country than he had in 2023. The yes daddy agulu packaged fraud as now been seen for a ethnic/religious bigot which we have always known him to be, so don’t sweat it, he will be lucky to win any state outside his 5% region in 2027, you can bookmark this for reference

Validated:
You already know why. Primary "selection" is usually by purchasing delegates with USD, like Tinubu did in 2022. Any candidate that purchases delegate will first "settle" those that provide him the Billions or Trillions before doing anything tangible.

story for the gods……I guess you are looking for a party of saints, like your bitter obi is also without sin….continue telling yourself that lie if it help your food digest well🤣🤣🤣

https://www.thecable.ng/adc-were-concerned-obi-atiku-not-working-together-ahead-of-2027/

give gringory the party ticket without primary and watch him rush to ADC like a sissy……..a so called popular politician that is not courageous to face men like him in a primary election that says a lot about his lack of courage and leadership skill to challenge the multifaceted problem of a diverse country like Nigeria, anyways they all will labour in vain because they are no match for Tinubu

AdUlAM:
Do u know the the meaning of the word 'mistake'

no NwOSU, pls lecture me……

U09ce:
This wa July sha. But the fact remains to this day. Just yesterday, Tinubu approved the construction of a new HQ for the bank of industry for almost 180billion Naira to be built in Eko Atlantic. The same institution has giant offices in Abuja and Lagos which are largely unoccupied. In this government, only Lagos affairs are prioritised. No doubts about that.

Many would bring a shallow argument that Buhari did this and that. Buhari completed Lagos to Ibadan railway and Second Niger Bridge. He completed no equivalent project in the north. Goodluck Jonathan too wasn't selfishly biased to the south south region. But here we are, where other parts of the south are suffering from decrepit road infrastructure while FG is pushing money to Lagos.

you never talk wetin Dey pain you……so the Lagos to calabar road that billions of dollars have been budgeted for and currently under construction is only for SW? The sokoto badagry road and other road projects in every region is taking place in SW? The recently established regional development agency and have been allocated budget is only for SW? Btw which of this region have more non oil revenue than SW? Ondo state is a state in Sw and the 4th highest oil producing state and blessed with cocoa which is the largest agricultural export from the country and earning us more revenue……you clowns can continue crying, if he reach your turn, leave your region underdeveloped lobatan

mrvitalis:
Lol everyone know Obi won Tinubu with 22 governors had to rig like a fool to win

Obi beat am blue black for Lagos

jeff1993:

indeed, yet ekene dilichukwu transport still Dey offload economic migrants from across the Niger to Yorubaland everyday 🤣🤣

kettykin:
Either way he will still sweep Lagos and defeat any other candidates. Peter rules Lagos votes

🤣🤣🤣🤣sweep Lagos? NwOSU,you better wake the hell up…bitter obi defeat will start from Lagos…Yorubas will not repeat the mistake of 2023, make everybody bear hin papa name,Lagos no be biafla 😂😂

Justnation:
Is Labor party still alive?,
the LP dies the day PETER OBI leave the party

PETER OBI should be thinking of PDP or other relevant platforms.

🤣🤣🤣PDP? Which fraction of the pdp? That’s why we ask you clowns to leave politics and face your trade business….a case of from frying pan to fire anyways wike will be waiting for him😂😂😂

gringory is now in a dilemma……no more freebies he either join ADC and contest primaries like a man or remain in Elupee and have Abure to contend with. I still can’t understand how a man who claim to be a democrat is afraid of primary election, this is the clown some people claim as the solution for the problem of a diversed country like Nigeria, i laugh in agulu language 😂😂
