No my brother he is still in recovery � � � mood the mans brand of politics is odoriferous

while Pple r suffering? plying bad dilapidated roads?

...actually I don't see anything wrong with Mr obiano statement.

overtaking Lagos as an investment destination in Nigeria wouldn't be a bad idea. we all want another Lagos pls.

but I wonder the comparison here on Nairaland.

just like America, California and Washington DC isn't all they got, they have Florida, Texas, Newyork, Illinois, Georgia, etc

why can't Nigeria emulate that?? Lagos, FCT, Rivers, Anambra, Ogun, Delta, Kano all should be developed as Lagos, for greater Economy of Nigeria.

Being giant of Africa isn't just for mouth. we can be like America. no competition but Economic disintegration and viability for all

Nonsense. so appointment are determined by votes not by merit again?
Nigeria too jaga

plateau and Enugu yes

rummmy:
so God now gives airport? No wonder God gave baro seaport

haha

but after Lagos is Anambra and Rivers follows

rummmy:
so God now gives airport? No wonder God gave baro seaport

someone should pls tell oga ihedioha that IMO roads are getting worst especially roads in Owerri and Orlu.

Lagos and Akwa ibom always setting the Pace for others to follow in terms of good Governance.

How I wish my Igbo and Fulani's brothers will learn from us and develope their state.

Uyo will definitely be the host city not Abuja,
Uyo has the best stadium in Nigeria and most peaceful city as well.

God bless Lagos
God bless Akwa ibom

Uyo is just beautiful

ruggedtimi:
when there was no traffic

now there's traffic, there's even more sophisticated traffic lights to control any manner of traffic, weather heavy or light.

just that in this part of the world, we pay negligence to it, still we complain of "go slow

when it come to traffic light compliance I give it to Uyo,

You See what Nigerian don't understand, when you obey traffic lights it lessen your stress of driving
