wish u luck on your quest to getting igbo bride

And they are smartest for knowing that even if buhari will win he will not deliver on campaign promises

sukkot:
well i guess you were not smart enough to realize buhari will win

SO YOU ALLIED WITH THE STRONG BECAUSE YOUR WEAK

THANK LORD THE WHOLE WORLD IS SEEING WHAT YOU ARE WRITING AND NOBODY WILL TAKE U GUYS SERIOUS AGAIN...

sukkot:
we dont care if south regards us. we are allying with the north. thats where the power is at. nobody allies with the weak. only a fool will ally with the weak. so you are on your own lmao

scholes0:
And you can't tell us how to allocate administrative functions in our Region ...

stick to ibadan pls

jimmy4x:
There are very sweet Yoruba girls, very nice ones, mine is just my love for other tribes, I dont wanna marry from my tribe....I wanna experience something different from what I'm used to.
Presently, I love my ibo gf way more dan I loved my 2 Yoruba exes.

if it's other tribes like igbo date other tribes and marry their own people but yours is opposite

scholes0:
Tribal bullshit.....

how

Rad1cal:
They know the answer but are hell bent on lying to themselves


Bwahahahahahahahahahaha

even effurun and sapele developed because of warri why is ota backward

Rad1cal:
They know the answer but are hell bent on lying to themselves


Bwahahahahahahahahahaha

I keep asking that question
Asaba is developing because of onitsha Owerri Aba and PH developed because of oil in river state
harlem and queens developed because of new York even Kent developed because of London
why is south west case different
I stay in Lagos and I I'll be in akure so I know these places very well


it boils down to the fact that Lagos was Yoruba making but Nigerian making

sukkot:
like i said earlier bro ? whomever controls the military has the power. all our fighter planes in nigeria are operated by teenage hausa boys. we are lucky they are allowing us to live. they can decide to bomb the south and nothing will happen but a few outcry from amnesty international and red cross. we have totally missed the game in the south. we are all looking to hammer or for office job. these hausa boys start flying nigerian fighter planes when they are 13 in simulated environments. by the time they are 18 you see them controlling planes that weigh more than someones house lmao. abeg, we are at their mercy. it is what it is. and they know it. which is why yoruba always allies with the north. there is nothing to be gained from allying with south-east. and north hates south east because of all that nzeogwu matter. so yoruba has to ally with where the power is lmao

may lord bless this yoruba man for saying the truth


so Yoruba allies with north for two things

cowardice.. fear of been bombed
servitude to serve the ruling north

thanks for this info


now tell me why south should regard you guys

Rad1cal:
Spare us your trash , you did not say anything pertaining to the points raised. Why are other SW states not as developed and cosmopolitan as lagos ?

even ota and sagamu oh ibadan is off

that's what I keep asking them

why is it that no other state or city in south west is developed or trying to be economically viable

onlinebizinfo:
What he means is that the wealth in Lagos is a collective effort of people from different tribes and cannot be credited to the West. Minus people from other regions who dwell in Lagos, the poverty level of Lagos will rise.

OK let's take touts and street urchins for example I think they are higher in west due to the fact that
there is no good education so those kids turn miscreants and secondly due to Yoruba culture of having too many kids especially out of wedlock you see them not catered for and this is evidence of lack of exposure and education

I think and I know poverty is higher west

scholes0:
That was in the Era of Federalism. Lagos is the Western Headquarters now.

still no.. you can't jettison ibadan because of brown roofs
Lagos is commercial capital of Nigeria Abuja is the administrative capital of Nigeria river is the energy capital of Nigeria

jimmy4x:
I be Yoruba guy but na white or Ibo girl I MUST marry

but wait why do Yoruba men detest marrying their women... I have noticed this trend


but to be honest Yoruba women are mouthy

I am igbo and I am proud of this igbo girl also at least my daughter has so many role models to pick from

igbos setting pace anywhere they go while haters hating

dayo23:
You haven't answer his question, beside Lagos is the headquarter of south west region same way Anambra is to southeast region,so if u are removing Lagos equaly remove Anambra.

don't miseducated people's mind

Enugu is regional capital of east
ibadan is that of west

Ewu keep crying, Yourbas politics is much more sophisticated than your minute brain will decipher
We know your useless interest in the Senate is not more than the reason to protect Ikweremadu, knowing fully well that once Bukola is gone, is he is gone too.
You Iboes are always hiding behind other tribes to climb, you never do it alone, always tying your destiny and political future to others .Mofos
BTW, this useless spambot should stop changing yibboee to Igbo for me.

but APC won so why are the sophisticated ones whining


wait till ministers are called up

patches689:
South Africa is more developed than Nigeria

This is fact

And has been proven many times

More tarred road, more railway lines, more power generation, more renewable power generation, more airports, more deep sea ports (including some of the biggest on the continent), more hospitals/schools/universities/policestations etc etc etc etc

Nigeria is 80 years behind South Africa

No one gives a sh1t about whether or not certain things exist in other countries - what counts is the AMMOUNT of certain things that exist

are you off.. tomorrow go back to mines or carry placards or those your funny sticks


you compare south Africa with Africans biggest economy which is Nigeria

RudzSA:
u mean our diamonds . south african diamonds ..dnt be bitter coz whites invested bck into S.A nd left naija for broke . il show u Soweto ...u shud show me a township in Naija

thank lord you said whites ...becuase south African blacks are just useless plainly redundant

Henry120:
- Ikot epene is a small town in Nigeria, not even a city.


- Port-Harcourt

- Onne, this is another small city in Rivers state

pls show him Owerri show him Enugu show him Abuja show him calabar show him lekki show him new Awka


we have nice cities and have hard smart working men

RudzSA:

courtesy of your white masters and their blood diamonds pls show us Soweto pls and they zinc homes

IbnSultaan:
You no notn abt Nigeria Army. for over 100 years we have fought battles from Burma,Congo,Liberia, somalia,Mali n so many more
Ghana will not survive what our goes through so keep ur shiit

how many have you won without any assistance and what are the level of casualty

zendy:
That's exactly the thing. Later some people will say "if you Biafrans try anything the Nigerian Army will rise up and crush you just like they did first time". They can't even crush Shekau and his few thousand men with all the amoured Tanks, Helicopter Gunship and AK 47's they have. How will this Army fight just 500,000 armed Igbo youths? The Nigerian only wins a war if they have international support. Left on their own, they are just too ill disciplined to be an effective fighting force.

they couldn't even win bunch of militants in Niger Delta and mind you they were killing defenseless civilians in Biafra war and don't you know why the Nigeria army have refused to tell Nigerians how many of their army died in Biafra war...shame won't allow them say that ..what about Niger Delta creeks that killed many of them ..look at how they over ran navy barracks and customs in oron few days ago ..they couldn't stand gendames of Cameron during bakassi

Nigerian army I laugh

no mind the bunch of lazy zulu Xhosa peeps wan compare themselves with ever smart naija guys

uche87:
I must first of all start by saying a lot of unprecedented praises are always been heaped on Lagos state for reasons I find it hard to understand. While looking at Lagos from the outside as a local Ibadan boy, I was full of admiration of the commercial capital of Nigeria. I loved the way Lagos was represented in the movies and mostly songs by music artistes as they all sang about where they grew up. I admired the way the addresses of several companies in Nigeria carried the Lagos tag as they were mostly headquarted in Lagos state. As a student of the Obafemi Awolowo University then, a lot of course mates and room mates told me mostly 'lies' about Lagos. Yes, I purposely called them lies because events were highly exaggerated. Now, I am in Lagos now struggling to adapt to the rigour of activities here called ''the hustle''. Don't get me wrong, Lagos is a great place with an enabling ground to horn your skills, talent and develop into greatness. On this piece, the Village Town Crier will be picking on the amazing state of affairs in the Lagos buses. I have experienced several bizarre occurrences which I have decided to create humour out of. As usual, you see the buses looking so tattered, old, unkempt, overused and adjusted seats (to create more space for increased profitability), faded black and yellow paint, stressed vehicles engines constantly smoking, dangerous-looking bus drivers and their conventionally lousy conductors who will never buy the needed megaphone to practice their trade.


Sorry if my introduction seems too long. I can perceive my reader's eagerness to see the keypoints of this article. Below are classes of people you will likely find in a Lagos bus:

(1) The Preachers:
These set of people have a way of testing the faith of Lagosians. They are mostly christians. As you board the Lagos bus that never comes to a halt completely, struggling to find a seat at a very tiny spot in between people, stepping on toes and apologizing simultaneously as you sweat from the short struggle, you hear one voice from behind proclaiming the ''Good News'' of Jesus Christ. As the high peach of the voice is maintained, you find it annoying and irritating, one part of you prompts you to cut the preaching short by cautioning the preacher but out of the fear of appearing to revolt against God, you stay calm and patient with the hope that it ends soonest. Its almost unbearable when the person is sitting beside you with the loud voice protruding through your ears.

(2) The hot-tempered class:
This class is mostly dominated by the Igbos and Yorubas. They are highly controversial. You can never please them. They frown their faces terribly as soon as they sight the black and yellow bus. The bus conductor who is like an attendant in the bus (for the sake of foreign readers) understands the nature of such people. He immediately takes a defensive position. He screams at the top of his voice saying; "Enter with your change oh" No Change oh" "I nor want wahala" These set of people are ready to flare up at the slightest provocation. They moody look gives you the impression that you are in danger. Stepping on their feet in the bus or over-leaning on them due to the lack of adequate space in the vehicle could attract a death penalty. I am not exaggerating. Some of them purposely attempt to beat down the transport fare which they know its impossible just for the purpose of raising tension in the bus. They pay the bus fare with utmost bitterness and demand for their change immediately like they anticipate a foul-play from the conductor. Even if their change remains an amount as low as N5, they are ever ready to shake up the bus and abandon their destination to recover what rightfully belongs to them.

(3) Marketers:
I hereby tender my apology to say that I see the marketers as very weird people. They are mostly of two categories, some sell varieties of items ranging from Sausage rolls to La casera or Viju milk drinks, recharge cards and other consumables OUTSIDE the bus which is highly acceptable in Nigeria and Africa, even though I have never been outside my country lol. The second category have no destination, they will board the vehicle with you. They are mostly rickety and hungry-looking old men with the appearance of a secret herbalist capable of causing maximum collateral damage spiritually. They will not take a seat in order to gain the advantage of addressing the passengers. They mostly sell drugs that are reportedly capable of 'curing' ailments world-class scientists are almost giving up on like Hepatitis, Sickle cell anaemia, Hiv, cancer and the likes. The amazing point is that, their appearances give you the impression that they may have a combination of all the ailments they claim to cure. As you settle down in the stuffy Lagos bus with every passenger giving you this kind of hostile attitude due to the frustrations and stress of the day, you will shockingly hear the cracked voice of one old man wearing a T-shirt that is big enough to be a bed sheet, shouting on top of his voice to advertise a drug or any other commodity. This worsens the already poor state of the bus. A times I feel so strange that this kind of weird occurrence paints the scene of a movie shoot to me.

(4) The sneaky class:
This class of people contains the enemies of the conductors. They look as peaceful as a dove. They are not easily noticeable. They enter quietly with the purpose of also leaving the bus quietly without due payment. The bus conductor stretches his neck at the risk of a possible dislocation to fish them out. Most of them are experts in this field. They will keep a straight face while others are paying for their transportfares. At the bus stop, they exploit the opportunity of the rush out of the bus to innocently sneak out with the alighting passengers. It hurts that so matured men who are old enough to govern a country are in this act too.

(5) The Sleeping class:
The act of sleeping in a commercial vehicle used to be so strange to me but when I came to Lagos, I realized it was almost normal. Sleeping in a Lagos bus is almost as unsafe as a soldier sleeping at a war front during an attack. Anything could happen, the moment of sleep comes swiftly likes its diabolical. This is due to the fact that some people leave their houses as early as 4am in the morning to reach their working place at 8am due to the bad traffic. This is what happens when you are living in a place like Akute and Ikorodu which is virtually a part of Ogun state, and you are working on the Island. The same set of people return home as late as 11pm in the evening or later than that. You can't cheat on nature, you will certainly sleep off willingly or unwillingly. Surprisingly, these set of people are so accustomed to sleeping in the bus that the bus has become their bedrooms, two minutes after entering the vehicle, they are already off to the dreamland. Shockingly, I also see some policemen sleeping in their patrol vehicles. That is totally unacceptable. God is our greatest security operative in Nigeria anyway.


(6) The Fat Alberts:
These people are like cheats. They are like the politicians while slim people are the masses. Mostly plus-sized women with gigantic backsides that could be compared to a contruction truck. Some chubby women will innocently occupy the space of three people in a bus leaving the others being almost squeezed out of the bus. This causes regular fracas in Lagos buses day in day out to the extent that only the affected people complain. The unaffected passengers tend to stay out of the argument because the next bus could entangle them in the same predicament. Its a rotational syndrome. Lagos passengers could be so gross, you will hear the backside being directly attacked verbally. On one occasion, one lousy Igbo man who felt cheated by a fat passenger looked at her 'truck' and said ''Una where u see this ur nyarsh from?, una biko the thing too big, na die oh!" The woman looked at him and angrily said ''Na ur mama you dey follow talk'' As usual, a movie was shot from that scene lol.

(7) The Pick-Pockets:
These are so unwanted like virus-infected files on your computer. These people could make a highly esteemed person in the class of the Governor of a state embarrass himself publicly. These set of people enter solely to steal from targeted passengers. Your phones and wallets are commonly their targets. A friend of mine was rocking a song on his newly bought Iphone 6 with the aid of an earpiece. The phone was safely placed in his pocket and he nodded his head simultaneously to the beat of the songs. He boarded the bus with the normal conventional hot rush common with large crowds. He noticed the song stopped playing, he ignored it and tried settling first in the vehicle. Few minutes later, he tried to change the song, shockingly the phone had already developed wings and probably flown to an unknown tree to relax. He starred at his earpiece with tears welled in his eyes. Behold, it was like a temporary moment of madness for him.

(9) The market women:
When you see the women, you will know the hustle is real in Lagos. With due respect, they are not they kind of people you will want to sit with one the day you are wearing your best cloth to work or probably a very clean white shirt. They are very dirty people due to the nature of their jobs. They have this natural fragrance that is unique to them. Personally, I feel it is the greatest scent ever existed. The smell is a combination of crayfish, dried fish, fresh fish, dried meat, vegetables, dirty clothes, onions, armpit smell, mouth odour and sweat from stress. Imagine the combination of all these in one. This is what you directly face when you sit around them. The most annoying part is that they will never keep quiet while in the bus. They always interact with their fellow market women in strange languages sounding like tongues spoken in churches. They come with heavy loads their litter the already deplorable bus. Sometimes you unluckily have one of those filthy loads hanging around you but you politely stay quiet out of fear of offending a suspected witch. The bus conductors have a terrible way of treating them which they will never take personal.

(9) The Phone call class:
This is a minor class anyway. We all answer phone calls in public vehicles especially when a high priority is attached to some callers. In the Lag bus, some people are so lousy with calls. They pick important calls shouting as if they are making an important Public Service Announcement. They go as far as revealing dirty family secrets. Some go as weird as reigning curses through the phone, they express their emotions freely. This act forces some bus passengers to console them in most occasions. I find it uncomfortable anyway. Some ladies pick calls and loudly flirt on phone too. Love is a beautiful thing, we all want love, we are happy that you are happy but I feel your relationship life is private and should be kept private. I was shocked when one businessman angrily told his caller he was heading to the bank to withdraw N500,000. That was an easy way of selling yourself to a potential robber who may not be nursing intention of robbery at that time. Later on, we Nigerians will blame the police force.

The posh class:
This class is the ideal class. It is filled with well behaved and good looking individuals. They are always looking neat, wearing nice dresses which maybe out-rightly cheap, they use good phones, smell nice and talk nice with fake accents. A times they almost miss their bus stops due to their inability to shout like a thug that they are alighting especially when the conductor fails to announce. They stay quiet in the bus with innocent looks, they endure the discomfort because it is temporary, they ignore the bus conversations and hold back their laughs no matter how funny because they believe they may be in the bus but they are not of the bus.

Well, every reader would actually be wondering the class of the writer. As a Village Town Crier, I may not be rich as I am still struggling to settle down in Lagos but I strongly feel I belong to this class. *Laughs*

I hope I forced down that smile out of your strong looks? Thanks for joining me again on this one. Feel free to share the posts with your friends so that the network can grow. This ministry should move to its permanent site this year loooool.

*Hops into another Lagos bus* Orileeeeeeeee!
Oyingboooooooooo!! Hold your shangie ooh, na God I dey use beg u oh!!!

jln115:
Uhm more people die of aids in Nigeria than in South Africa also there are twice as many murders a day in Nigeria than South Africa.Let's also not forget all the terrorist attacks in Nigeria

And your claim that Whites see Zulus as slaves is your most outrages claim yet and entirely not true.

I think your just bitter because you got deported,and couldn't stay longer.

give us stats ....how can I get deported ...I don't think you know me...I am not a mine worker like you neither did my father a forest guard like yours so back off

islandmoon:
Let me correct you, Ikoku popularly known as Port Harcourt version of Ladipo belong to the ikwerre people of Rivers State,
I usually go there whenever am in Port Harcourt, it is a place where most of the stolen cars in PH are been dismantled,
it may sound Igbo but its not in Igboland, its just like saying Rotimi Amaechi is a yoruba man, we all know ikwerre people are good at adopting any name but not so good and its dangerous, that is why we have Nyensom Wike, Patience and Co. are on top of Rivers politics.
anyway, ogoni people are not that tolerant..stop in Bori and find out!
Less i forget, the government has been trying to relocate Ikoku market to the one Peter Odili built for them near SARS along Airport Road since 2003 but the Igbo traders refused.
so, what is your point? why trying to claim a notorious market? a place where you can not enter bank to collect money from bank to pay for goods purchased without be robbed, you must drag your customer inside bank to transact! a market where shop owners lock their shops and ran home before 6pm everyday? just about 3 month ago, a hard looking guy selling snacks was killed in the morning and left in from of the police station! we need to support the government in their bid to keep the city in good condition, after all so many Yorubas were displaced when Fashola cleared oshodi, like someone said, Obaino did same and same thing is going on in Aba now.

if them say make animal wey get horn come out snail seff go dey talk him get horn

majority dey talk minority seff dey talk

I am a man that love orderliness if ikokwu market is rough let government sort it out

ogbo osisi is in Owerri it was moved to outskirts of town so I am not against it

no tribe be it igbo Hausa or Yoruba can stop sane development

if the market is that bad let rvier state government do the needful simple


but

fake wealth you said ...that is okay and mind you I never made any mention of wealth here so maybe it's your infantile reasoning

oh they why do you feel oppressed and intimidated by igbo presence

you can't do nothing apart from placards carrying ...if you want it hot we can handle that also so choose the way you want it

MduZA:
so you think every black south African is a miner?dont you think that if black south Africans were suffering ,would have been roaming your streets for better life..the fact that they don't flock to other countries like Nigerians tells a good story of good life..furthermore dont you think that people in Mokoko need land?make research about south African world class companies like Eskom,sasol,transnet,prasa etc..you will see that its a curse to be Nigerian

I was in south Africa last month

PunkyOh:
I have several tattoos & my man doesn't mind them. Never actually met a man that had an issue with tattoos. I wouldn't be with them anyway so it's better that way. One that's clearly visible is the one on my leg, the rest are hidden.
