Why did lawmakers from the south east opposed the bill seeking to give Lagos a special status?

Why did the ibos join the gang up against Lagos state?

What harm will Lagos state special status do to the south east that they had to join the north to oppose it?

You just like most of the others levelling this accusation are just evil tribal warriors with little brain power.

Anything that has to do with Lagos isn't a Yoruba affair, you should take good note of this...

Secondly, a state that generates the highest IGR in the country (302 billion in 2016) needs nothing like special status and if you can only see this from a tribal angle then I weep for the future of this country...


We are on the brink of a cataclysmic event and we can only be saved by wisdom, rational deliberations and objectivity.


Stop seeing everything from a tribal angle...


PS: After the war what efforts did Nigeria make to rebuild the SE? We all know how the RRR was hijacked and failed woefully...

You only hate what you don't understand

Oga remember to condem and attack rochas in strong term for using public money to build fantastic church

You're just a nuisance. So building one church, and probably from private pockets is comparable to building several mosques from the state coffers?


Some Moslems baffle me, how can you support or defend this nonsense?

The other day it was kano state sponsoring weddings with 200m...


It's for reasons like that the north will perpetually be in darkness...the elite will continue to use the lowlifes as pawns in the game of politics...while the rest of the country is forever dragged backwards...


This is utter madness!

Gemc3:
Not so. Some days I don't visit Nairaland . Especially when I've got a lot to do.

No need for the 'tu m shara m'

I'm sure if you wanted to you would actually have replied my mail at least.

So yea, you did click ignore but it's alright...no hard feelings...

Trust your day's been superb...

Gemc3:
So grateful. I appreciate it. ☺️

I almost thought you didn't see my mention the other day. Guess you clicked ignore...

rosieluv:
have you heard of anyone that died through kissing

Check your telegram

So many fools commenting without reading.

Very informative piece.

The federal government removed history from schools to make us forget but WE WILL NEVER FORGET

Till today, they still kill my people for flimsy reasons and setting aside a day of remembrance for all those who have died for the noble cause of Biafra is indeed a great thing...

Never forget the fallen heroes my people...


One Nigeria could still work but we have to revisit the past and atonement made for all the innocent blood shed especially during the heartless pogrom which preceded the war.

She's really pretty on the outside, I wonder what she's like on the inside...

shachris02:
Ndi igbo mepee nu anya (open your eyes). This is not the Biafra you seek. Ojukwu used Biafra to fight his personal war with Gowan. Now this con man albino, Nnamdi Kanu is using the same Biafra to amass power. Judaism is the fastest growing religion in the east. My people are now bowing down to greet a mortal. Kedu ihe mmere anyi? what happened to the great igbo tribe that I used to Know?

Biafra is in deeds. Helping your fellow igboman, my friend, is indeed the Biafra you seek.

You my friend know absolutely nothing of the events that snowballed into the gruelling three year civil war!


Just shut up and crawl back into your cradle.

rosieluv:

All is fair in love and war... make sure you have plenty fun in your service year...












Check your telegram btw...

rosieluv:

Someone cannot wish you all the best again? You're the only cofa I know for this batch.

Wishing the corpers all the very best...

Why didn't Obasanjo achieve restructuring in eight years of civilian presidency after three years as military dictator?
Should a reasonable Nigerian expect a bloody civilian from a minority tribe to achieve restructuring that a retired army General and former military strongman from a major tribe could not achieve?
Is it that you don't understand our country or you are only seeking an opportunity to tarnish Jonathan's democratic credentials?

Nah, he's one of the demented purveyors of tribalism on here. You can see that from his the bold part of his post.

Alariwo2:
It's rants like this that makes me hate you and your likes for no reason.

So Yorubas are the ones to restructure Nigeria after Igbos destroyed the former system. Did Nzeogwu, Ironsi and co. consider Yorubas when they were acting foolishly?

GEJ was there for six years, you same Igbos turned him against Yorubas for your enjoyment. Restructuring wasn't necessary then o..

This treachery and backstabbing nature in inborn in you lots and our eyes have opened clearly now. you'll cry till eternity

First off, don't you ever tag whatever Nzeogwu and his cohorts did as an Igbo act. The actions of a few soldiers cannot be pinned to the larger ethnic group, unless your reasoning is very poor and malnourished.

Second, the clamour for restructuring has always been there even while GEJ was in power. Why do you think the 2014 national confab was called?

Third, you can keep on hating but be rest assured that Nigeria will not survive for too long with this current system that breeds corruption and nepotism.

Stop seeing everything from a defective prism.

Mynd44:
And the NE too.

People dont see the amount of wahala taken away by creating states.

Are you saying there were no states when Nigeria had only 3 regions? There were still units inside those regions.

We're talking about making the units of the country viable and making leaders more accountable you're talking of wahala of state capital, I expected more from you.

Damn you Abati!

The satire oozing from this piece is huge!


I doff my hat sire, you nailed it...




This post will be understood by just a handful of nairalanders.

Wonderful wonderful piece it is!

IELTS and TOEFL are English tests conducted every month. While IELTS is paper-based only TOEFL is computer-based and also paper-based. I need good trainers in various cities who can teach candidates within their location. The only requirement is that you should be a graduate with a good command of English. I will often direct candidates to you and you will teach them. I am based in Port Harcourt and only teach those in Port Harcourt. If you are interested in this please contact me via my signature.

What's the remuneration for teaching this like please?

Can someone with a full time job handle this weekends too?

Raine80:
It's not necessary nor is it mandatory. I believe so something because you understand it's significance not because everyone does it.

Kneeling was originally something someone who was showing humility/respect or admitting defeat did. It's broken down this way.
Respect. Honor. Surrender.

Respect: The man is showing humility by kneeling it's his way of paying homage to the woman he would like to spend the rest of his life with

Honour: On his knees he is paying homage to her womb. The womb that life springs from.

Surrender: He is giving up his life as a singleton and embracing that of being a married man, faithful to his wife in all aspects of life and also a a husband who will promise to raise a family with her.

Nice points about the significance but really it doesn't mean jack in the grand scheme of things...

sunnyeinstein:
Is it lagos' fault that other states are not performing their statutory functions?
If the governors pay salaries, better security for the people, provide more basic amenities, businesses will flock into such states. No one should blame lagos, rather they should take a cue from that city (just as ogun state is gradually emulating)

Just like you, most of y'all ranting and foaming did not fully understand the succinct article.

The writer never blamed Lagos for anything but rather he pointed out the unfortunate role of the federal government in it.

Di you know that almost all federal parastatals are sited in either Lagos or Abuja?


The only functional seaport for a country as big as ours in in Lagos.

He also blamed the private investors and even state governments for not doing their bit, but a large chunk of the blame still goes to the central government.

The constant influx of people into Lagos is not a very good thing and in the neatest future you will see why. The central government must put in concerted efforts to start locating federal projects (eg seaports, rail lines, power projects) outside Lagos and Abuja, not only for the good of other states but for the good of the two aforementioned states.

Try to read, digest and comprehend before typing.

They painted the last government bad in all ramifications and the zombies are ever ready to swallow their propaganda hook, line and sinker.

I hope this new deal ends issues with supply of petrol.

I doubt we can ever go back to when fuel was 97 naira.

Anti people government is what this current one is.

No friendship after sex has been involved. It's either you're his or you aren't, no inbetween...

Hi bro, I can...

What's the industry? I'm interested...

Hi esteemed NLers,

I've been mulling over a very good idea of an online/web service that would run like jiji, only this one would be entirely different in terms of what we'll be offering...

Is there and web designer who thinks this is achievable?

Anyone out there willing to actually talk about this idea with a view to managing the process from start till finish?

I'm willing to offer financial backing and serious brain work to see if this could work out...

Someone with faith like a mustard seed please indicate here...


I'll shed more light on the idea in due course...

Yes the fight against corruption needs to be institutionalized however,

Until we take corruption seriously and appreciate the seriousness of the matter at hand, it's all lip service...
Until we make embezzlement of funds an offence punishable by death, or the laws and constitution of the land modified to show a hardliner stance towards the issue, we won't get any mileage...

Fact...

With our culture of non maintenance this Institute, though laudable, may not be in function 5 years from now.

I sincerely hope this is not the case...




Aregbe and his lofty ideas, Ipon imo, tallest talking drum, now this... I'm loving this man already
