Oga, this is simply a real estate project. The housing units he plans to build will each be branded as a “palace.” Developers often give their estates prestigious names to attract clients and boost sales.
That’s why you find estates called Monarch Court, Royal Estate, His Majesty Estate, Prince & Princess Estate, Royal Park, Kings Court, and even ones with Palace in their names like
Edge Palace Estate,
Palace Estate and Golden Palace Estate.

If you like coronate 100 Yoruba as Oba, in Abakaliki, that's your affairs, my affairs dictates no Igbo will be crown Oba in any of Yorubaland even if you have spent 300years.

I also can't wait for police to take them to court and embarrass themselves before a judge.
Meanwhile, your brothers are kings all over south east and no government is harassing them.

I don't want to meet any Oba in Yorubaland of Enugu, if your tradition permits that my tradition does not.

We are not same people, we have different world view, culture and tradition, stop poking into other people tradition it will have consequence

Goodvibes007:
Exactly. We dont want it means we dont want it. In Yorubaland, its an abomination to have two kings in a kingdom. Same way some communities in Igboland do not allow snakes to be killed.

My problem with them is mixing a federal system with Unitary system as introduced by Aguiyi Ironsi, we have Federal Constitution in Nigeria and not Unitary Constitution, let that sink

Lagos state is a federating unit in a Federation. Just as you have right to proclaim Monday's sit at home in SE without anyone querying you, and North have right to practice Sharia and banned sale of alcohol so also SW and Lagos state have right to clamp do on anyone who want to have Obi in Lagos, it is against our tradition, customs and culture.

First go and read and understand the principle of Federation. We are not in a Unitary system, respect every federating unit and you shall have peace, disobey their order and you will be sent packing, remember Eze Kirikiri, many of such awaits anyone who go beyond his boundary as a visitor

Zulu11zulu:
I think the government should engage him to help solve electricity problems in Nigeria. Because the people who are managing it are confused I don't understand how can tinubu appoint someone who don't know anything about power as minister.

In Nigeria a lawyer will appoint minister of health and a doctor will appoint the minister of agriculture, Nigeria and their government are confused people.

Power have been decentralized. Focus on your state government

You can't be allowing your platform as a medium to spread fake news.

It is unbecoming that you allowed unsubstantial gossip across River Niger be polluting this platform.

Those who have no respect for their parents should not be allowed to ridicule the president of Nigeria.


Besides smoking is not a crime. It better than drinking water that was used to bath the dead as being done in some region

Are you the only tribe living in Lagos that you are always constituting nuisance here and there and would want to justify it under one Nigeria.

Is Nigeria a centralized Unitary country of a Federation with Federal constitution.

What does principle of federation entails?

Why do you think Sharia is consider legal? Is it not because the people of the north feel that is what suit them as northerner

Why is destruction of alcohol in the north could not be challenged? It is simply because we are a Federation with each federating unit have absolute power to decide how best to govern it people.

Stop all these Unitary mindset in a Federation, the endsar has taught SW people a lesson. We would plug the monster before it germinate. Go and unveil your prototype palace in Onitsha, Aba or Okija. Lagos is not meant for such nonsense

shortgun:
Is it that difficult for you people to understand basic words in English language?
Is prototype Palace the same as a Palace. I've explained the difference over and over again on this thread. You are still saying he's building a palace.

Oya go and unveil prototype MPG at the DSS gate.

You can as well unveil prototype cocktail bomb at Mogadishu barrack.

Is this what we would have been experiencing had Peter Obi won the election. You guys own will pass the lawlessness we experienced in the hand of Miyetti Allah because Buhari a Fulani man was the President

alanto:
Sarkin people no dey misbehave and when they do, they'll be contained.

By the way laughing emoji cant hide your tears.

From Obi of Ghana to Obi of Lagos

And now Obi of prison

alanto:
Its the fear of being kicked around. This one Nigeria pay some people pass others.

There's no going back in this matte of state police, anyone that want to cry should cry

Richtaiwo:
Oga, you don't need any explanation. You know your people and your people know you. The most important thing for now is that your people appreciate your kind gesture.

For those clowns on social media claiming igbos are billionaires while in reality they need to be empowered with wheelbarrows, they can continue deceiving themselves.

Same people that are always shouting they know how to vote competent people

You are a disgrace to the people who vote for you.

None of your kinsmen should come disturb us here with high cost of food and hunger.

If you all believe wheelbarrow can take you from poverty to prosperity, continue

Smartcitizen:
Most of you are too blind to see and that's why you people always end in regret every time.

This is how many of you were running their mouths when there was this argument for the creation of local government independent election commission and today, how well is that across all the states?

My only question for most of you championing this STATE POLICE CREATION is;


CAN YOU MENTION ANY COUNTRY IN THIS WORLD PRACTICING STATE POLICE AND STATE GOVERNORS POSSESS IMMUNITY?

Just mention one country?

You think that white people are not intelligent.

Where is the logic in the bolded.

Why didn't you clamour for the removal of immunity clause instead of going against creation of state police?

People are seeing through SE shenanigans and your adamant support of centralized government. How do we operate centralized government with a federal constitution?

What is your fear about true federalism that dictates the subregions are autonomous and not tied to the apron of centralized government?

What has the centralized system offered Nigeria after 60 years?

franchasng:
Peter Obi contested on a party without solid structure so there was no way to prove it in court with much evidence.


It was because of Labour Party's lack of strong structure in all 36 states that made it possible for INEC/Tinubu to manipulate the results in favour of Tinubu.


If you take away the massive votes INEC removed from Obi's total votes and added to Tinubu's votes in Lagos, Rivers, Benue, Plateau, Borno and Oyo, you will understand that truly Peter Obi won the 2023 Presidential election but it's fine if you don't agree with this, it's well understood but one day, God and nature will give you same injustice Peter Obi was given by INEC and the ruling government of Buhari just because he is Igbo

Can you swear with your life that Peter Obi truly won that election?

franchasng:
It's simple analysis.


Tinubu is highly unpopular today, and the implementation of the new inhumane tax law plus other of his anti-people policies in 2026 will further make him unpopular going into 2027 Presidential election, and of course Tinubu knows all this, but as a stubborn man he is, he will think it doesn't matter that he will get his way through rigging using some state Governors and federal government institutions like INEC and security.



What am I saying in essence? Tinubu will never want to organize a free, fair, credible election because if he dare, he would lose massively, so he would try to use his power of incumbency to manipulate the election results to his favor and of course this will be resisted by the opposition, especially in the North.


Tinubu will then try to use federal government security outfits to forcefully shutdown opposing voices that try to question the outcome of the election, and this will degenerate into crises in the North especially as youths will revolt, Tinubu will unleash more brutal security personnel to quell the unfolding crises and gradually things will snowball into a nationwide unrest calling for Tinubu's removal or resignation as President. Of course Tinubu will not listen to this and this will further lead to nationwide chaos that if not handled properly, may lead to serious nationwide unrest that nobody can tell the end, the future looks gloomy for Nigeria

You like long story.

Why didn't you demonstrate the popularity of your candidate and party in the just concluded bye election.

Do you think the hatred coming from the SE affect the entire nation.

Look at the people you supposed vent your anger on are people that are impoverishing your people.

Imagine sharing wheelbarrow and you want hunger to leave your land

sammyj:
Crash the prices of the food with what resources, if I may ask this confused government

With wheelbarrow as shared by Anambra lawmaker to his constituents

nairalanda1:
Let's start from here...do we make these tractors in Nigeria?

Plus today's tractor is not the tractor of say the 1980's.

Finally, it would be better if farmers were given soft loans to own their own mini-tractors...if Nigeria had the money...because this one where we buy tractor for the whole LGA...has been tried for decades, and has NOT WORKED.

I don't expect this narratives from you.

I repeat there are mini tractors that costs less than 1000dollar that can be operated by a tenerger and young girl's.

Stop living in the past, Nigeria won't grow with such mentality.

Why bringing soft loan to the discussion? There are other threads that talks about financial support and loan acquisition.

iamfactor:
Just the way we gave kurumbu a chance.
With the over hype you guys gave him that he built Lagos. One would have thought by now Nigeria would hv become El dorado or even UAE.

How can Nigeria be better when your politicians are pulling Nigeria backward.

Which hunger these barrow want eradicate.

No SE should cry of hunger for this platform again.

I hate what I don't like

nairalanda1:
If the tractor breaks down, who go fix am?

Also tractors cannot be used in planting of certain crops.

There are mini tractors all over the world, which kind people dey this Nigeria sef

Ewedegubbler:
A farmer needs a wheel barrow. So it’s in order

Che na wheelbarrow Obi want take comot Nigerians from poverty?

Well the legislator learnt it from Obi who like to share item befitting LG chairmem

Host78:
lolz.

Wheelbarrow is more beneficial than tractors to these farmers.

Some of you just like white elephant projects that does not work.

Here's why tractor is not a good thing: most of these people are small time and subsistence farmers.

They have small pieces of lands scattered here and there and they plant crops that require ridges or heaps in different parts of the land.

Giving them tractors would not be helpful and will be useless because to even get into their farms they have to pass through other people's farm, where will the tractor pass through?

In the village, when we need motor to come and pack our cassava, most times the motor will stay outside while we walk into the farm with basins or wheelbarrow to pack the harvest into the motor because other people's farm are surrounding our farms.

And that's beside fueling requirements and maintenance (farmers who can't even afford fertilizer where dem go get money for fuel, operator and maintenance from?)

If you grow up in the village or go to farm you'll understand this perfectly. Tractors are for commercial farms same as irrigation except in places where they lack rainfall.

Giving these tools is a necessity for a regular farmer. You don't know how much farmers beg for wheelbarrows, sprayers, cutlssses and hoes.

In the village these things are even for rent. Where you go to pay money very early in the morning to get it.

I am saying this from experience because I grew up in the village and we farm. So wheelbarrow, cutlass, hoes and if you add one of those knapsack sprayers then you'll have solve a good percentage of the average farmer's problem.

Next will be to give them fertilizers and herbicides (most farmers can't afford fertilisers and have to buy in milk cups and then use spoons to apply them small small so it can reach the whole farm even though it doesn't reach the required measurements)

Not all problems require big big machines, tech or long talks.

Look at your immediate environment and solve the problem.

And you type all these to say nothing.

Shame dey catch me for some peoples comment here. Haba!

LagosOrigin:
Soludo has met someone who is ready to go down the mud with him ..

I swear, Peter Obi should appoint me as his attacking man and I will put Soludo and Reno where they never dreamt to be.

You that can't post with your princeoflagos handle want to tackle Soludo and Reno.

Wetin you swallow?

shortgun:
This is not correct.
Security is important, yes, but it’s not an excuse for systemic exploitation.
The fact remains that oil is drilled in Imo, yet most of the economic benefits flow to Lagos simply because companies choose to register and base their HQs there.

Even if IPOB/ESN were an issue, that doesn’t justify letting billions in state-level tax revenue escape. It’s the duty of the federal governments to guarantee security for strategic industries and oil companies themselves have operated in far riskier environments elsewhere in Nigeria when it suited their profit.
The governor is only stating a fair economic principle .... if you exploit our land, you should contribute to our local economy not take it elsewhere.

What you should first ask yourself is what percentage of oil staff resides are based in the headquarters office.

Majority of oil workers resides in the drilling environment and just the administrative personnel that work in the headquarters and
they are less than 10% of the company workforce.

Go to VI and assess most of these headquarters and you see some have less than 50staff at the HQ.


Maybe you should prove it is these few paye that has stopped SE from developing and point to me the law that mandated oil companies to site their HQ in Lagos.

If your region is conducive the oil management would site their HQ there, simple

Let's see if it's true or not.

At this point Nigeria truly need state police

Which type of tax are you talking about, since you know the Obidients don't know anything you want to give them something they will chew for the next 3 days.

What type of tax goes to Lagos state government from Imo?

I have when supposed governor talk like illiterate, when he is not an Obidient.

Approach Nass through your representative and request for the norminal roll of the oil company domicile in Imo state from the Chairman of Labour and productivity committee or through the Chairman Committee on Local content.

Whipping up sensational words won't change your lukewarm approach to governance

Which type of tax are you talking about, since you know the Obidients don't know anything you want to give them something they will chew for the next 3 days.

lexy2014:
How does memorandum produce economic development?

Peter Obi should be the right person to ask that question about Anambra MoU

lexy2014:
How does memorandum produce economic development?

Ask Peter Obi about his Monorail MoU that he signed.

Where are the railblines and the light trains

That an need to cough out some of our money he mismanaged. He set NNPCL back with his archaic policies that stagnated our refineries and the entire oil sector

My president the workaholic wey no dey taya.

Keep doing your good work baba

ottersberger:
The problem with most laptop bandits is that their arguments are intellectually shallow and hopelessly incoherent. [b]You expect school buses provided to Nigerian schools over a decade ago to still be running today, [/b]under our toxic maintenance culture and entrenched corruption?.
Even that is not saying that these vehicles are not serving until this day, but you would not know seeing as most of you have not ventured beyond your hamlets and gifted laptops.

Since Peter Obi left office, Anambra has had two governors. He handed them a structured, fiscally sound system. Whose responsibility do you think it is to maintain and expand on that legacy?. Certainly not Mr. Obi’s.

[b]Now, show me the buses Tinubu ever provided to Lagos schools. And please, spare us the embarrassment of bringing up that eyesore called BRT, that’s a disas[/b]trous fraud deserving its own thread.

Perhaps we should discuss what Obi is taking from Anambra state as a pension today, versus the daylight robbery of Lagos state that has the imprimatur of Ahmed Tinubu in the guise of a pension. Shall we?.

I won't insult you since insult is Obidients trademark but I will continue to shred the lies Obidients post here daily.

A legacy project as expected from a president material will not be small korope buses that can't stand the test of the time. That shows Obi is a mediocre and poor administrator.

In Lagos these are project carryout by council chairmem.

El Rufai introduced Arabia in Abuja metropolis at a time Tinubu introduced BRT, today Arabia has packed up but BRT is still standing

Now you can see the difference.

While my governor is building bridges, massive rail lines, seaports , housing estates, with sustainable reforms like waste management system, transportation system agency, FTZ, your failure Peter Obi was rendering services meant for LG chairmem, no wonder he couldnt conduct LG election for 7 years of his failure in Anambra.

We would never allow a failure like Obi rule this country, never
