Rosskiiku:
The herdsmen crisis is a WEST AFRICAN phenomenon, as the desertification of the Sahara accelerates, forcing herders to migrate ever southwards to graze their cattle.

See Ghana News:

Livelihoods under threat as herdsmen invade Kwamang farmlands at Kwamang

https://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/NewsArchive/Livelihoods-under-threat-as-herdsmen-invade-Kwamang-farmlands-at-Kwamang-1224913

It is a big problem in Ghana now. Just google ''Ghana herdsmen''.

They even killed some Fulanis in southern Ghana last week.

In South Sudan yesterday, 40 peole were killed. According to the news, ''this conflict... stemmed from disagreements between Arab herdsmen and non-Arab farmers in South Darfur.''

https://www.voanews.com/africa/40-people-killed-ethnic-clashes-west-darfur-un-says

So this is a region-wide issue caused by the encroaching Sahara and climate change.

But instead of us to recognise the issue for what it is, and co-operate to handle it well, we are screaming that it is a ''long-planned Fulani takeover of the South!!''

And now we are looking to start fighting and killing!

Tufia.

You always have an excuse handy for all Nigeria’s shortcomings.

From blaming the whites to now desertification.

Next you will tell us how blacks are superior and Nigeria is the greatest country on earth...

But also how Nigeria doesn’t have enough money to build infrastructure

Remember how some Nigerians were ready to kill for MMM, defending the very obvious scam with fire and fury!

I remember I opened multiple warning threads then, but they came in mass cursing, spiting, some probably leaving with broken keyboards and screens. Let's not even talk about warning against a Buhari, cause that's overplayed by now.

Once again, it seems Nigerians are ready to dive right into danger, chai

I thought resilience was a good thing, but Nigerians have shown, that may not be the case.

A scared and cornered animal, attempts to fight back, when pushed up against the wall, but a Nigerian just melts into the wall

on another thread, one ingenuous soul is asking why no black nation on earth is developed.

https://www.nairaland.com/6490763/why-arent-there-developed-successful

my dear friend, threads like this should provide you your answer.

you see the way blacks idolize thieves, even to their own downfall.

one person here even said, he knows he is a thief, but still respects him, lol.... I guess for being a big thief for so long.

Meeen, I don’t even know what to say!

Imagine!

The police man even responded as if it was a normal thing to do, saying you how can you question a governor.

Wow!

Remember the interview on Aljazeera were Festus Keyamo defended the President breaking his own promise of ending medical tourism, by stating that "It takes time to rebuild all the damaged infrastructure..."

That interview was conducted in 2019, and by then, they already had 4 years to build or rebuild as the the case may be. If that excuse was tenable then, what about now? Given another term and 2 years into that term, shouldn't progress have been made in your rebuilding process? So much so that your excuse would no longer hold water?

Here is the interview below, with time stamps for the question and answer regarding Buhari's medical tourism

Lagos State steady improving while some wail and wail
Anyways,where Dem go dey charge the body cams because electricity for Police station na another story

but you just wailed yourself just now na?

chai

This is the guy sarrki is ready to die for, all because of tribe

Tribe has finished Nigeria man! No lie.


One thief was caught red handed stuffing contractor dollars into agbada, another was caught with bullion van a day before election.

Yet, to awon tribal Nigerians, it doesn't matter, as long as igbos or other tribes cry, even if they cry too.


I mean the evidence is as clear as day

Jakumo:
Open gutters are a beloved fixture of Nigerian city life. Those death traps serve to test and improve the eyesight of pedestrians, forcing them to glance downward before every step, so as not to find themselves doing the backstroke in an open drain full of raw sewage.

Furthermore, the feces-flavored stagnant water found in open gutters is cherished by Kano youths in beautiful northern Nigeria, who enjoy inhaling the toxic methane fumes wafting out of those gutters, because it gets them high as a muffug, without their having to waste money on alcohol or drugs.

In conclusion, open gutters are to Nigeria what Apple Pie, the Fourth of July, and Monday Night Football, represent to America. Give me open gutter water to drink and bathe, or give me death.

lol, I shouldn't be laughing at such a serious issue, but this was funny.

I went to buy rice the other day in lekki and walked past an open gutter, the stench was out of this world; Like poop that had been drying in the sun.

Honestly, we will know visionary leaders in Nigeria by big and small things like closing gutters/building sidewalks were the open gutters are.

This life is not just at times.

Oil producing states have been bastardized, their environments highly polluted, the eco system compromised...

Nigeria continues to milk these states dry, like they are never ending producing heifers.

After all this, some guy in South West has the nerve to say they will send these people packing, while still maintaining One-Nigeria and milking these states. Wow!

It just doesn’t make sense.

OlayemiAshraf:
Didn't they "Yoruba" paid for the "delta oil" ....

How exactly bro?

Allocation comes to all states of Nigeria in billions.

How exactly are the states paying for the allocation?

PlayerMeji:
Come to Asokoro, Maitama, Wuse 2, etc... There are no open drainages.

Open drainages are for the poor

It seems a lot more places in Abuja have sidewalks instead of open gutters.

It needs to become a standard around Nigeria.

Delta state and other oil producing states have been feeding the whole nation for a while now, so much so that whenever oil prices go down, the nation enters recession.

Yet some Yorubas still have the nerve to tell people from those southern states to “Go back to their Village”

Wow!

Yet, tomorrow, you will still go lie down to collect your own “allocation” from oil money.

Honestly, the whole Nigeria should belong to Delta, Rivers...

I am not a tribalist, but I am not a one Nigerianist either.

Ungrateful lot!

SarkinYarki:
My brother even in Banana Island .... Nigerians are one of the low frequency people I have come across...you need to see the gutters in my Lekki Phase one street

I’m telling you bro, it just doesn’t make sense.

Yet they sometimes price these houses and shops in the so called “choice locations” at astronomical prices; prices even higher than in some developed countries were homes have running water, electricity, paved neighborhood roads and no open gutters.

Below are examples of properties worth 10s or 100s of millions on the island in Lagos, but after paying that money, you still have this type of mess in front of your house.

OPEN GUTTERS... it seems no government in any state in Nigeria, has plans for covered drainages and sidewalks.

If homes in Victoria Island Lagos are dealing with open gutters, then what about other areas of Lagos and the country?

I keep telling Nigerians that good governance is mostly found in the little things that add up to major feats.

Little things like proper lane markings on the roads, closed drainages, and so on. These things matter, from an order point of view all the way to attracting tourists.

It’s not always by initiating massive projects, some of which become abandoned or neglected, that you’ll know your government is working. Don’t get me wrong, we need those massive projects, but I could argue that, closing all gutters nation-wide, though seemingly unimportant, would have a better long term benefit, than say, an ambitious new bridge.

Think tourism, other nationalities could visit Victoria Island in Lagos and not run back to their country with tales of Open and stinky gutters.

Then there are health considerations, of having waste openly displayed to the public.

Heathrow44:
Oh really! U are patriotic, I think is a moral question, everyone claims to be patriotic until they given choices!! I for one would gladly say I'm unpatriotic yes, I'm not ashamed of it, cos I'm ashamed of the govt and Nigeria, what has the govt done for me, I know people would be shouting hey, u what have u done for the country, well I have to be alive and comfortable to do sth?!!! As*****

Don’t know about patriotic though, cause Nigeria is not really a unified country.

However, I do strongly believe that with love for people, I would do my best to spur development.

There are still people who want to see a better Nigeria, or at least a better state or better local government area.

Heathrow44:
Those people don't exist.

They are in your imagination.




If u re unpatriotic say u are, don't generalize! Seeing patriotic people is like finding a needle from a hay stack but they exist not here in Nigeria I suppose because I'm yet to see one but they exist outside in other countries of the world! So with that being possible, there's a 0.000000000001% chance of finding one here in Nigeria

Lol, what about me?

People that are ready to do the right thing exist in Nigeria.

Blame the electorate, that seemingly never chooses good over evil.

Anybody?

Does any Lagos resident here use government water?

It seems mask-wearing is now here to stay in this world, na wa, like joke like joke.

We thought 2021 we will be back to normal, but people still want mask wearing and social distancing to continue indefinitely...

Na wa

Something is up with the world today meeen!!

TheNeededShock:
You're still wanking with all this inchorent yappings of yours. Before you help we cowardly Yoruba's kindly help your sisters so that they don't end up like ngozi who was raped to death by fulani raiders. Talking with you is a waste of time, you're obviously delusional and ret@rded.

Truly, the heart of man is desperately wicked.

See the wickedness you display in parading that innocent woman’s picture.

I almost shed tears this morning when I imagined the wickedness of the act and the wickedness in you posting this for likes.

and people will ask why HELL exists if God loves us all, but do you people not see just how wicked man is?

Can’t you see it?

Man will be wicked and sometimes avoid justice here on earth, but you can NEVER EVER EVER ESCAPE GODS JUDGMENT

NEVER!

No matter where you hide, how much you have, it is still appointed one day for you to die.

See how you are using that picture to gain likes, ordinary likes.

You post a picture of a dead woman who was raped and left naked in the streets, just so you can get likes from your fellow wicked nairalanders.

God will surely judge all you wicked nairalanders, you guys have so lost your conscience.


Imagine if that were you mother or sister or daughter that went through that horrible ordeal, then just when they finally find peace in heaven, you suffering earthling, now parades the picture on the internet FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF winning an argument against the tribe to which the slain woman belongs.

God of justice will judge you!

The God that causes the sun to shine in the day and set at night will judge you.

The God of Abraham and Moses will judge you!


I’m sure that woman’s spirit, even right now, cry’s to God for justice, and God will wipe alway her tears. Her sins will be washed away by the blood of Jesus, who died for us all.

Hustlearenna:
It’s all over Nigeria.

Indeed.

At lekki epe, every red traffic light, they pour into the roads.

Failure of government at all level to get kids off the street.

Remove kids from parent that place them on the streets

Arrest the parents and put the kids in training off some sorts or adoption into a family that has the means to care for the child.

This must be done with force!

Zero tolerance to kids trading or begging on the roads.

Oshigun:
See them. Children of hate. 5 pages and counting of idiotic obsession with trying to outdo each other as per who can hurl the most witty insult at Tinubu over a politically correct statement.

Their bitter and hateful comment is so over the top for the innocuous statement made yet they cannot appreciate they are sliding as human beings. To think some of these folks would originate from states where the likes of Peter Obi and Obiano empower James Nwafor and other SARS genocidaires to brutally murder Igbos in cold blood.

Someone who has never governed their state or had any hand in ruining their wretched lives they hate so deeply yet lick the azzes of their oppressors daily. God help these your children if indeed the devil has not claimed most of them fully already

Lol, defender of the universe!

They keep berating this guy, but some of the common sense developments were done by him.

For example, he dismantled the roundabouts at the lekki epe expressway and replaced them with traffic lights. A move that drastically reduced the traffic along that axis

He introduced 112 police squad cars in Lagos and they were actually quite effective at pulling people over at the start.

He pushed for reconstruction of the international airport road that had become an embarrassment to Nigeria.

In bariga, that pipeline, is it not water board?

So there is pipe borne in Bariga?

Rossnitti:
''Love thy neighbour as thyself'' is a very well known biblical commandment.

A very different commandment however, is making the rounds among Nigerian christians.

It says, ''Secede from thy neighbour''.

The two messages are fundamentally different.

One is about unity.

The other is about disunity.

One is about ''let's do things together''.

The other is about ''let everybody answer his father's name''.

Should a practising christian support the message of disunity, ie secession, in light of its contradiction of biblical dictates?

In short, Is secessionism a sin?

You are one of the most annoying nairalanders ever.

White slave.

This is the guy that will say Nigeria is poor, and can’t develop and that we should blame white peoples for everything.

Okay, so who formed Nigeria, was it your black daddy or white conquerors?

Omo, are you sure Nigerians really completed the evolution process from monkeys?

Wow! God forbid.

That same crowd could have handed him over to police.
