Ugosample:
what does your silly comment have to do with what he said?

the stress is too too much in Lagos

that's the fact

He hates Lagos because of traffic....
If gala sellers and other street hawkers hate Lagos too, maybe they will stop entering Lagos from other states and causing the traffic where they depend on to sell their wares as well.

Am I clearer now?

selemo:
Kudos my guy I think the best thing is to develop other states seaports in other to reduce stress and cost of living here...

Who does the development?
As a guy, I believe you can arrange your house.
If power reach, can do your compound.
If you still have energy, you need to gather your neighbours/association and fix up your street.
You need to be a heavy big boy to fix up your estate. And that's the highest power a single fellow has
The state roads are in the hands of the government and if those roads remain erroded and impassable, vehicles and business cannot function.
That's why people will still run out and back to Lagos.
Other state governments need develop their states as individuals cannot do this

Aurielfinizu:
Lagos traffic will reduce your life span to 10yrs..

i hate lagos….

And these guys continue rushing into Lagos to hustle and die.
They are even causing the traffic jam

BlackfireX:
More like scammers

Exactly!
And that's how people fall in and are unable to come out

BlackfireX:
I don't understand this cult of a thing...


What is the gain.... Sorrows tears and blood.

They obviously don't advertise it as that
You fall into debt or something. You see no way out. One of them comes and pays off your debt. You are grateful. Next thing, you owe him/them.
You must pay back...you must join cult or else they go and take their money/ help back.

Londonboyrep:
Nice but will it still look like this in 10 years' time or will our usual non-maintenance culture come into play? Time will tell but I will not hold my breath. Every time I pass through MMA I nearly always weep. This used to be one of the most beautiful airports in the world modelled after Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam but look at it now? A truly embarrassing national edifice.

Your answer is certain. It will break down before 10years
There is enough example around to show that we are not a maintenance country.
And I till believe that nobody is addressing that issue.
Maintenance involves setting up industries that produce spare parts of existing models/products. And then advertising such maintenance service.
We on the other hand still advertise NEW products

PrimadonnaO:
That's why it's 500 naira... so if you won't buy from the roadside, then you'll pay heavily for it buying from the mall. At the end of the day, most persons would still rather buy from the roadside. Fresh and hot!

The mall own is not Nigeria corn. It's imported.

ZADDY001:
corn that I will buy iya suliat three of it #70

Nigerians like imported things inside nylon bag na.

gaskiyamagana:
ONLY CORRUPT PEOPLE WILL BUY IT. NOTHING SO SPECIAL ABOUT IT.

They will sell their corn to us at that price
And how much are we going to sell our corn to them?
Or we till give them everything free because they are foreigners?

GOFRONT:


Na wa for the owners of this Shoprite.....They don't even want to give chance to those struggling women Selling Cooked corn along Mabushi Express..

ShopRite is South African company.
Shey we like foreign things in Nigeria?
And we gave them chance to come and sell foreign things to us?
Oya now

fuckerstard:
But why, no security.

This country matter tire person o..

It's all a mindset.
Which mind are using to look at security man?
Do you see him houseboy or as body guard?

If you take security to be a common houseboy and proceed to pay him houseboy wages, well we now have internet and Facebook. His eye will open to possiblities and feel that you are treating him bad. Then he turn against you and let the robbers finish you

What we have to do now is see security men as body guard and pay them accordingly with respect. So they guard you seriously.

Na so houseboy comot from my house. Just wake up one day, open gate Waka comot. We didn't even know he has left. His brother must have been telling him on phone or Facebook. I no wan employ houseboy again or security either.

Kingrexyl:
Nah the rubbish wey you dey eat go kill you one day.

Have you seen the rubbish that Chinese and Japanese eat?
And their elders live to over 100years

GISpro:
Common sharrap. Wildlife that is invading domestic life?

The only wildlife that deserves to be preserved is wildlife that remains wild. Not wildlife that is threat to human life or property.

I don't support the eating of snakes though.

I'm an environmentalist.

I know Nigerians mean well and always want to copy western nation one way or another. Western countries have a lot of beef and chicken. Very cheap and affordable. Everyone can eat meat to their filling.

That's why they don't see it sensible to kill and snake and other wildlife.
Nigeria, we don't have comparable amount and affordable meat/chicken. So people don't waste time to eat wildlife, snake, dolphin, etc .

Take same guy to America, let him eat burger 24/7, then put snake in his house. He won't eat that snake again. He'll call RSPCA/PETA

Hanks0000:
You shouldn't be askin me that question.. The only reason why I'm still is because of my mum.. You should be blamin your grandfather's for not contributin a zilch toward the development of Africa.. #period

So you are some sort of baby?
A small one or an overgrown one?
I've asked you a question, if you are not man enough to answer, then the fault is with you

I use my phone, watch YouTube videos, learn about carpentry and metal work from the westerners and put that to partice and earn a living.

Your grandad was just a guy. He did what he could and face his responsibility, no light, no phone, no shoes. He was still a champion.
If you like, stay there and be pointing finger back at him and don't face your own responsibility.

Godons1:
And some Mumu go dey underrate the Northerners. By that time, Southerners were still using leaves as their clothing.

We don't chest beat.
But, koda me kazo an fika.

if you were born in the north, can you make yourself a southerer?
If you were born in the south, can you make yourself a northerner?
Which part of your borning did you actually control?

Things have happened in this part of the world and we are just witnesses to all this. No need to make fun or laugh at any tribe

GMbuharii:
Coneheaded structures can tiff anything

She's hungry ok!?
She's hungry.

Airoflaw:
you guy should be arrested for murdering an unarmed living creature going his own gege. See what some country are doing..you do know if it your g.g.g.fada dey pass

The people in the pix are not hungry
They have McDonalds and KFC to eat all the chicken they want

Our guy has nothing.
He killed it and immediately set on fire to eat.

Stop comparing us with other countries. People are desperately hungry, jobless, no pension, no govt grant.... moneyless, futureless in this country.

Aldebaran:
What do you want to compare again...

The heavy rain falling per day in Naija atimes can be worth 2 months

News flash.
The world is round
Sun shines at different rates in different parts of the world.
The weather round the world is not the same.

afroniger:
Shithole UK.

But ONE (£1) of their pound will gather Four Hundred of your Naira (N400), because we are always desperate for them.

shaydeenamz:
you are the most back ward person dear what is it with southerners with selfish and myopic sense of reasoning, this is history,this pre independence do you know where and how your great grand parents were at then?

My grand father was paddling a canoe in the rivers of the delta. His father, was a hunter.
My grandad supplied palm fruit to the British in barrels. They used to take argic produce back to UK then and needed locals to gather it to the port in Warri/Delta region.

Hanks0000:
Africa .....
Always backwards..

With your internet knowledge and android phone, what can you now do to make Africa forward?

ken6488:
Britain was more closer to the north than South

The reason I don't know

Horses.
The north seemed ready for military action or transportation.
The south has nothing. No donkey, no camel. Nothing.
Just carry your load on your head and be waka-ing about on foot.

ken6488:
Britain was more closer to the north than South

The reason I don't know

Horses
Horses are found in the north and not in the south.
Horses have been the movers of industry and the military for millennia.

The answer is horses.

ednut1:
At that point white man could be equated to God by the locals

Well, if you sit down and learn something, one day you will know it.
If after 100 years you haven't known a particular thing, then either you are not serious about it, or you just don't want to learn it.

Ugosample:
well....

na so we see am

Then tomorrow, you complaining when you gather Four hundred Nairas and use all to buy One pound
Your American and European counterparts use $1, €1 to buy £1 and go their way with confidence
When they come to Nigeria, you worship them as slave

It used to be N1 to £1, $1 in the past. But we were careless with our power and still have not learnt our lesson.

MoonWater:
very soon. Very soon my brother. We shall get there. It won't be long. We shall make ours too and the world will rejoice

How many graduates do we need to make this happen?
I believe that people are taught to shame Nigeria, their own country then use all their energy and effort to praise and uphold western world, lifestyle and technology.

Lizzysamuel:
A Nigerian lady was left in awe after seeing a hardworking man who fetches sand for a living.

According to a viral video, the man was spotted in a river in Awlaw in Oji River LGA of Enugu state, using a basin to fetch sands from it.

Watch the video

Is she a Fraggle with Eyes un top of her head?
She no dey look ground before?
Somebody cannot fetch sand from River again?
Na Hollywood film you come dey video here?

Hotfreezers:
It is lick, not leak. Dumb illiterate.

I don't know what your parents were doing when others were sending their children to school.

If his parents didn't have money to send him, how could he pay his fees?
And you, have you ever worked, earned money and paid your own fees? Or you think it is a right?

israelmao:
It's a long time they've been showing off.

It seems to be a bad attitude that Nigerians developed
Buy foreign goods and pose with it.
Never posing with our own Made in Nigeria products.
The number one nation destroying attitude.

Now people kidnap, kill, sell drugs, prostitute, yahoo, enter into slavery, just to get money...
...to buy one foreign good...
...snap picture of it...
and pose.

AutoJoshNIG:
Theophilus Owolabi Shobowale Benson, famously known as T.O.S. Benson, was a prominent lawyer and politician in the period leading up to Nigerian independence in 1960.

He was a key member of the National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons (NCNC).

In 1960, when Nigeria gained independence, he was appointed as the Minister of Information, Broadcasting and Culture.

The popular socialite was imprisoned for several months after the first military coup of  15 January 1966. He was released on 2 August of the same year.

Benson, a native of Ikorodu, Lagos state, later became a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN). He also held the title of Baba Oba of Lagos.

His younger brother was the late popular musician Bobby Benson.

T.O.S. Benson died on 13 February 2008 at the age of 90 at his home in Ikoyi, Lagos.

Below is a photo of TOS Benson posing beside one of his numerous cars - a 1952 Studebaker Commander.

Mizwisdom:
This was not the same attention Theresa May was getting and we were speaking English during her tenure. Enough of this boring news about the guy!

The guy is a well know trouble maker, right from time.
Theresa May was a back bencher. Did you hear of her before she was elected?
