Has he gone 4 deliverance or he wetin im wan take power do again? May be im wan lift cement dis time around.

He is busy maintaining his numerous handle while he protests ban on the Insincere 9gerian handle.

Mr. OP Go get a real job.

They (the appropriate authority) need to enforce Abuja master plan than any other thing. The Idea of allowing people build and then demolishing the houses is mean. This goes beyond the Gej Admin if you ask me.

[quote author=Dudu_Negro]People like Ubah are the burdens in SE.

I wish him luck. Let us think forward and suppose he wins and become governor. So he will sponsor kids from a village with zero fast pace to go for two weeks event in a mega city that does not sleep and where they will be sorrounded in opulence and sheer wonder of a zoom zoom lifestyle. So the kids return home with this exposure and guess where in Nigeria they will now believe they belong?

You got it Lagos! After everything thats been said in the past three weeks, do people like Ubah not get it?[/quote]Nope! The man knows what he is doing. Imagine those kid connecting with the right people and coming out of brazil with the right substance only to ''make it far in life''. Good plan i guess. Every pøor parent will hear of this and will want one thing for their children - Brazil or South America. Now imagine Anambrans taking over the whole Nigeria and developing it.

It is perfeectly normal that people disagree to agree. unlike some who agree only to backstab. APC!

Africa's Tallest! . . . Nigeria's First! . . . Biggest In Africa! . . . First Indigenous! . . . Massive Blah Blah Blah! . . .

Lots of Glory Hustle These days.
Why not go for something more economical and durable in the interest of the people intstead of confusing them with biggest first.

Hmmm

OP you are questioning the Fame of somebodies Jesus on earth. . . Hmmm!

idnoble135: I smell ban on your moniker for wishing such directly to nairaland and indirectly to Seun.

ha ha ha . . . Make i go offer sacrifice then. 1 calabash of harddisk of Seun for Sango-Otta, 12:00 noon.

homesteady: I'll prefer this party to APC! Because my people say "An empty drum makes the loudest noise".
They did not go up and down boring us about their new party like APC, they just went ahead and registered! No fanfare!

You call planning of merger of known performing parties ''noise and going up and down''? Too weak! You can go and support one with no track record out of the feeling of insecurity APC is giving you.

PapaBrowne: Not good for APC!

Why not PDP?

Never say never. It could NL next.

Hmmm!

Is he suppose to fix all roads simultaneauosly? I challenge anyone here criticizing him to mention their state lets zoom in on it a lil bit.

.

hmmm!

Like Bayelsa like Nigeria.
Jesus on earth just finished handing out crumbs, so i am not so surprised her hubby is our best President ever.

S9 Na you be that . . . Lol!!!

.

So much Ado about nothing?

How will the status of a person be appraised as being resident in a particular place? Is it by paying electrcity bill? or by raising a family there?

Who reopened this thread?

Still the Govt's fault. Who is suppose to enforce the appropraite measurement of oil in all the stages it goes thru? The Government!

It means the water (in case of any upsurge) will now have to impact EAC first before "old" Lagos.

Tell it to those who think Lagos is their official Almajiri land. Those who celebrate the deportation of others but can't stand one of their own being reunited with those they boasted to that they are going to make it big in a big city.
Almajiri, whether in form street awking or full time destitutes should be condemned all over Nigeria.

It would have been appropriate to disregard Fani-Kayode’s vitriolic comments on the fallout of the Lagos deportation. But on a second thought, they represent his worries, the ethnic nationality question and more importantly, the persistent failure of Nigeria to deal with her past. Castigating him isn’t it, showing him the other side may help. His major worry is, who owns Lagos? This is no problem. If the Jebusites inhabited Lagos, then it’s the Jebus’; if the Yorubas inhabited it, then it belongs to the Yorubas. That’s it. It’s not a reason to display so much hatred against another.

The other side is, Lagos was Nigeria’s Federal Capital Territory (FCT). What does it mean to be a Capital Territory? What rights fell on others by virtue of that status? In this answer lies the answer. Fani sees it purely from indigenous people’s point of view but others may have more information on its FCT character. That’s what the experts have to tell us. Going by what I see in Abuja, it’s difficult to say from face-value where FCT stops and the indigenous society starts.

The issue at stake is deporting Nigerians from one state to another and worse still, in a most dehumanizing manner. He left this important aspect and began scooping inflammable history capable of causing interethnic disaffection. There’s no section of Nigeria he didn’t attempt to incite against the Igbo and in some instances, justified pogroms committed against them by the north. It’s a shock that he habours such titanic Hutu-animosity. Hutu is the tribe that tried to exterminate Tutsis in Rwanda.

The thing about dehumanization is, it removes the ‘being’ from the ‘human’ and turns the human being to an ‘it’. Then s/he becomes an object with no feeling attached to whatever is done to it, the same way there’s no feeling when you’re cutting a piece of wood. When a government takes a people and dumps them on the road to no one’s care, such people have become objects and the being in them detached. In justifying this act, that’s the thing wrong with Fani’s contribution. Besides, he hardly proffers solution; he merely scoops problems, stokes them and brands them ‘facts from a servant of truth’. If he can’t acknowledge that Igbos have contributed to the development of Lagos, then his truth is half-truth.

There are areas he’s very right. It’s wrong for Igbos not to have consciously honoured Adekunle Fajuyi till date. Fajuyi is an integral part of Igbo history- the man who sacrificed his life for Ironsi, an Igbo to live. In the end, both were slaughtered by the northerners. It’s an insensitive negligence. That presented an opportunity for understanding between peoples, missing it, accentuated the relational void. But the mistake both ethnic groups make is leaving their fate in the hands of politicians. I don’t know if there are structures where non-government actors discuss issues of mutual interest.

He accused Igbos of having an attitude of, ’we own everything’, ’we must have everything’ and ’we must control everything’. That’s not correct. An Igbo hates dependence and being an everlasting tenant, so he works to free himself from servitude. If he’s the entrepreneurial type, he delves into business to expand his fortune. So it’s not an attitude, rather an offshoot of self-developmental process, unless Fani is prescribing docility as a preferred alternative. Many others, including Yorubas who have carefully observed this path to survival, especially for the less privileged are developing at a fast rate. Besides, they’re practically saying, we can’t wait on government whose care for the people’s wellbeing is shadowy.

From his citation of Sina Byron’s account, Igbo population in Lagos before the war wasn’t more than a few thousands. This confirms my earlier assertion that increased Igbo presence in Lagos is a result of calculated government action to emasculate the East and Lagos being the FCT was the safe place to go, it’s not as a result of the hospitality of Lagosians. That’s not however to deny that they can’t be hospitable.

It’d be nice if Fani and his co-travelers flee from their Hutu instincts. His writings are enough to enlist and stir people into hate drives and therefore, a disservice.

What they don’t know is the political fallout of these. Now onwards, the PDP is going to label them a hate-party and with other East-prone parties on slate, their dominance of Lagos politics will be bruised/halted.
