South Africa is one superpower,no african will want to mess with us. And Tanzanians knows better. We give financial aid to almost every state in Southern Africa and some in East Africa. We are mighty smart african race,with time we will be supreme.

Super power?
Are you freaking kidding me?
Try it with Kenya and see what happens. That is just Kenya.

I am not even talking about Nigeria and the north African Arabs.
Nigreria also provide technical aid to many west African countries from time immemorial.
We recently gave financial aid to three African countries.

It doesn't mean we should overreach.

I don't trust these foreign companies.
Why didn't they bring the case to Nigeria?
Fucckk them.

Where is the child's father?

I look at igbos determination to chart their own course even tho they are landlocked and not having a big city like lagos and i ask myself what is wrong with us yorubas? Why is there no serious independence agitation in our land? We are better positioned than these people to own a VERY progressive country. Is it because of oil? Wat will oil be in a few years with global warming getting more serious? Are we afraid to go to war? With who? If the east, west and south are agitating for independence at the same time, its a walk over. The north cant stop us. Are we afraid to go it alone? Why? The state of the nation has gotten critical enough that its time for the yoruba nation to abandon it. I cant even come back for xmas with all the insecurity in the land now...my God.

Lagos is not a big city in the sense of it. It is the smallest state in Nigeria.
Everything it has today is attached to Nigeria since the time of the brits when they used it to export Nigeria's raw materials to Europe.

Today, We use it to export oil products while we use it to import goods for Nigeria's large population.
And any other thing is a consequence of that economic relationship.

Once Nigeria splits, Lagos would become a little better than Ogun state.
It is certainly not going be exporting that scale of oil or housing the head quarter of many multinationals whose real activities are not in Yoruba Land.
Nobody would allow that anymore.
Many other non Yoruba owned industries would relocate to their ethnic homelands as there is no more Nigerian cover and population has dissipated.
Import business and revenues would reduce by over 1000‰ as the population it is serving is a Yoruba only population as regards to the rest of Nigeria it currently does.
The importers who are mostly Igbos would be looking to divest closer home tothe Niger Delta waters.

It would economically shrink in hundreds of folds and become a port novo or Lome.

I have no problem with you wanting secession. It is.your right.
But know the real state of things and don't think Lagos would remain the way it is if that is your hope.

NA who open breasts like that?

Go to challenge and see chibuzor still hawking gala.

Do you want pictures of Iya funke hawking paraga in Onitsha?

All those Russian lovers on nairaland should forget America.

The country has never been self sufficient in rice production. Over a million tons of rice is smuggled from Benin Republic into the country yearly.

Why this quest to become self reliant in rice production? Nigeria has never had a problem with rice production. The problem it has is the ability to produce it at a competitive price as the country lacks comparative advantage in it.

Let's take a deep look at it. A Beninoise boy told me a bag of rice in Benin is 12,000 when it's 18,000 here.

For the government to compel Nigerians to produce rice, it puts up a protectionist wall that makes the imported rice cost as much as 18,000 or more. Now that the imported version is dearer than the local version, local demand for locally made rice increases and that encourages production.

My argument is that how can paying 18,000 for rice that is 12,000 help the poor? What's the point in being self sufficient in expensive rice help the indigent?

Don't forget that the people farming are not necessarily the rich.
Besides, Nigeria can produce rice to the point where price would drop.
But the price has to be competitive first to attract significant players before it drops due to excess production.

It is just like petrol.

We are practically sustaining Benin republic.
So because we closed border, they are suffering.?

I like their ladies though. Very simple.

Iblad0994:
I am from the SW, I am excluding Lagos for the sake of the IGR coz I know the Igbos might say Lagos IGR is too much and it dwarfs their states 8 folds. Lets play on level ground even with 1 handicap, the SW beats the SE in total IGR even excluding Lagos.

Based on the NBS data, Ogun state IGR is more than all the SE states IGR combined.

Infact, the SE owes the most foreign debt looking at the data and they always lie that the SE region has the lowest debt based on the misinformation flying around.

lol
Why would you exclude it when it suits you.?
What else is in the west if not Lagos?
The same Lagos that you people carry for head like gala.

My friend, jump inside lagoon with your yeye thread.

Kelgabriel5:
But your companies are here enjoying d largest black market's gains. I don't blame them sha, if to say we had good leaders these insults won't have been

Those companies are owned by White south Africans.
They have nothing in common with these savages.

Those ones are even tired of the black South Africans than even Nigerians themselves.

Modified

Why would you exclude Lagos?
When you are talking about how Igbo come to the south West, you don't remember to exclude Lagos.
When discussing eligible voters, you don't remember to exclude Lagos.
When discussing IGR for your own bigoted ends, you also don't remember to exclude Lagos.

Bigots should not open topics. It is rarely intelligent.

buhariguy:
buhari has dealt with idiotic pigs, and we are in next level of python dance, 50 idiotic pigs need to die everyday

The South West is basically a Fulani den.
Your people are the ones suffering the gross mis government the most.
You filth

Conclusion06:
imediately after a South African was killed by a Tanzanian..the me t thing is to seize their aircraft... South Africa is a nonsense place......

I was speaking with a white south African working in Lagos.
He gave me tales of woe.

Those savages have messed up that country.
A country they didn't build or have the capacity to build.

Tanzania should do the same.
What nonsense.

No respect for sovereignty.

scopusng:
Victor Osimen just scored 2 goals for Lille

If his village people don't pursue him, Lille is a good spring board to a top 5 European club just like hazard.

He is certainly scoring above average.

omohlexy:
Boy just admitted to commiting voting fraud. Well sha i know say all na WASH. You are just blowing lies bros. Mike just pity you sha. If she met a typical Gedonious guy you will spend more on clit repair. Nonsense.

lol
His fiancée was there for the taking. Throwing herself on the poor man.

He was lucky that mike was a faithful husband.

Is that why he looks unkempt?

Sellfish:
Stone Buhari in Japan and have many Pythons dance on your relatives in Eastern Nigeria

Not forgetting that it has been a while since restive Nothern Youths have killed Ibos on a large scale...and they are waiting for an excuse, no matter how lame, to butcher Ibos in Northern Nigeria....Remember they have not forgiven you guys for not voting Buhari

To whom head is given, sense is expected....

You may behave as you like in Diaspora and get away with it...but is all that misbehaviour worth the lives of your relatives in Nigeria?

Every action has a repercussion.....Ibos can wake their own fathers with a bicycle kick just like they did to Ekweremadu.that one is a problem they can settle among themselves in their Umunna village meeting...

But they should not be silly enough to export their their disrespect to Buhari...Northerners value their elders and can bring down hell for them

A word is enough for the ....

You are very lucky we are on nairaland.
You are very lucky indeed. I would have punched the daylight out of you.

Amala munching troglodyte. If they don't do it, go and do it yourself.

If abokii use your people for practice in Lagos as is common, igbos are a different breed.
The last time they threatened heaven and earth, it came to nought.

The US would not reverse it.

He should have asked them for a timeline before reducing it.
We could be cheating ourselves at the end of the day.

And he had to pick a 74 year old. What happened to all the young and agile candidates?

And you Wonder why the economy is sleeping.
No innovation, nothing.

Arewa1408:
All this insults will not help. It is asking the right questions. Buhari should be asked if he is aware that this guy stole money and all these allegations If true, then it will be another nail in his coffin like the raising of Ganduje's hands in Kano. However, you dont have to believe everything without investigations.

Timipre Silva looted bayelsa state.
PDP seized his 40 houses.

Buhari came in and gave it to him and then appointed the thief as an oil minister.

If buhari is not aware, then it is even worse.

The patriotic thing to do once buhari leaves is to audit his government.

It would be very sad if we allow his govt to go without probe.

nairalee:
Naa o. To follow na by force?

Yes, if the president is using that medium to disseminate state information, then he has no rights to block anybody.
Somebody sued trump for that same shitt and won.

But then that is America. The land of the free.

Attending school like Harvard will make your thinking different and able to voice out your right which will be respected because of the name of your school

Unfortunately Harvard did not teach him that human rights is strongest in the Western hemisphere and weakest every where else.

"Repentant" terrorists are released while sowore rots in jail.

A country of absurdity governed by absurd people.

If it was a poor man they would have designed his face with slaps.

Had to be nyamuri! If they can wake up their parents with karate kick, what cant they do?

If your parent had given you some form of education instead of giving you a bowl to beg like a born throway, your life would have been better than this.

Upgraded almajiri.

Whenever I see a lady with leg chain, the first thing that comes to my mind is runs girl.
And it is 90% correct.

Just look at this one booking uber by 2am when wife materials are sleeping at home.

She no get brother?
This is too bad.

I am sure when buhari leaves in 2023, he and his deluded fans would tell us that security is part of his achievement.
