How can Rivers be poor even with all the oil Those people really need to sit up oh

it's not the government that is poor but the citizens of the state .Rivers State government is rich but the peoples they govern are poor.

oyoirabor:
Kindergarten trash. I keep wondering how the same fools who live in this poverty pit of the same Nigeria are quick to form funky like the are in new York not Nigeria. I don't know when former capital developed with Commonwealth became some people's personal property.

Some of you guys from.....W are mentally poor..!!!!!

My brother abeg how you una take rich pass us ? why una dey decieve unaself like this. Oboy your people dey poor pass sw. I don live for una place b4. without trading you guys no fit survive. all of you naa dey do same business . which is buying and selling. if Yoruba and other Nigerians don't buy from you guys , u naa go suffer.

oyoirabor:
All these foolish yorubas supporting failure, wickedness and selfishness....yet forming stainless and stupid wanna be cool are the most useless people in this country.
They will be quick to insult others and call them names.....give it back to them and see them cry like coward they are......

1) the Igbo man is addicted to Lagos

4) Biafra is an Igbo man's opium
5) An Igbo man is tribalistic and only cares about himself first, then his village. Clanish in nature, an Igbo man can only survive in a cosmopolitan society. He can't stand his fellow Igbo man's nature.
6) An Igbo man would choose money over morality and values hence, if you have money in Igbo land, you are king.
I know in their deepest hearts, they know these FACTS but they are in denial.
My two cents.
As for those carrying Lagos on their head. Ha...don't worry. It's gradual na. As you can see, you have no commissioner slot in Lagos unlike before....Keep calm and watch.
Just FYI, the powers in Lagos are watch all your comments on social media. Continue calling Lagos a no man's land. Na your papa land. Remember, your C of O is a lease agreement for 99 years. You do not own any land in Lagos and you collect Governor's consent or approval to build on the LEASED land.
Good luck owning Lagos]

Where did we get it wrong? so the region that didn't vote for you should suffer yet you preach oneness and patriotism. Dullard of the highest order. I wonder how this man handled guns when he was an officer

weytin gej give sw we vote for am in 2011 ? abeg oga swave.

BruncleZuma:


Petroleum, Defence, Finance, Health!?

abeg which one your gej give sw during his term as president of the nation

Obi1kenobi:
Here's the truth:
1) All Nigerians are addicted to places where the colonialists and FG have sunk the bulk of the national cake to developing: whether Lagos, Abuja or wherever
2) Plenty of Igbo men are surviving in the SE. It has the largest population density in Nigeria. That you've not left your Ogbomosho village before doesn't mean you can spout misinformed nonsense.
3) The average Igbo are envious of other regions. Yes, in a country of great injustice, we are hardly ecstatic to have easily the least Federal presence in the country and the FG budget for the SE is by far the lowest in the Federation every single year. It's a miracle how we've kept it progressing.
4) Not every Igbo supports the Biafran movement. Not one single prominent Igbo son has ever publicly supported the movement.
5) All Nigerians are tribalistic, clannish in nature and survive best in cosmopolitan environments. Else, Ekiti or Ondo or Osun would thrive more than Lagos, or Ogun, the most cosmopolitan territories in the SW. Also, ironic a clown that spouts such hateful generalizations has the effrontery to call others "tribalistic".
6) Yet, for some reason, it's drug barons like Kashamu and Tinubu that rise to prominence in the SE. The classic Yoruba propaganda I've heard since I was a child when a Yoruba teacher said it to me. Always ascribing phony, non-existent virtues to themselves. Had I not come to Nairaland for example, I would have throught Otokoto was the only ritualist in Nigerian history. Nevermind that Yoruba culture is demonstrably more fetish and head-hunting is in the daily news. That's propaganda and phony virtue-signalling for you.

The fact is for whatever reason, you feel insecure about Lagos. You spend all the time trying to tell everyone you built the city, but nobody believes it. The legacy is there for everyone to see, regardless of whose ancestral land it is. Some of us can even acknowledge you have contributed more to it than any other tribe. But then there are the ones who choose to trade in fiction making it out like they built Lagos from scratch and others simply moved in the cash in on your sweat. A laughable narrative.

Please, get on with your empty lives and quit the primitive internet arguments about who owns what. My dad owns property in Lagos. I'm a renter, but I intend to own mine too. Come and take it from us and stop the foolish, idle threats that bother no one.

the laws we take it from you... remember the lease is 99 years

If it belongs to everybody, it belongs to nobody.

Tushkito:
They don't understand what it means to fight for what is right cuz they have that overrated city (Lagos) that they use to brag all the time, a city that was built mostly by the Fg and other Nigerians, they don't like stepping out of their comfort zones which makes them ignorant of other ethnic groups in Nigeria.

Oga that Lagos naa blessing to the west and Nigeria . if you are pained go and hug transformer.omo irankiran. Lagos and Abuja are the best we ve in Nigeria for now . Show me any other place better and well developed than Lagos in Nigeria.

Nathdougg:
why do AFONJAS always insult without point..
Go read the content properly fashola said that in Yoruba language at the town hall meeting
Why is he playing tribal politics?

why ohaneze also playing triba politics.Your leader said the only way pdp can get thier support is when they choose vp from thier zone . politics is all about interest. abeg biko. support your atiku and let them support thiers. I was in the east last week .I heard your people telling them self they are going to vote atiku because of peter obi.

amforjustice:
The comments of most of you shows you know little or nothing about northerners.
In this present dispensation that frowns at muslim muslim ticket or christian christian ticket, no southerner can win presidential election without 90% vote from southern region and 60% from North central .Now tell me how Yoruba will prevail against the northerners without vote from SE/SS

se as never supported sw before. obasanjo his a northern choice then.

EdoBozz:
Will Atiku Truly Restructure Nigeria?
I was in a seminar in May this year where Atiku was present.
He was asked to tell Nigerians how he planned restructuring Nigeria in the first one year in practical ways not just rhetorics.
I was marvelled how Atiku responded.
Atiku said that restructuring Nigeria is not rocket science.
He made it categorically clear that the first major step at restructuring the country is to DECONGEST THE EXCLUSIVE LIST—handing over some of federal government responsibilities to states through constitutional amendment.
He went further by saying that through the same constitutional amendment, some of the states responsibilities will be given to local governments that would become independent through the same alterations of the constitution.
He said that this is one of the major reasons he would see National Assembly as partners in rebuilding Nigeria not political enemies.
From that day on, Atiku won my heart.
He made all the postulations extemporaneously—without a written speech.
It was during Q & A session.
I have never seen any aspirant explain this bogus term of "restructuring" in a manner that a layman on the street will understand it.
He was able to provide solutions to restructuring agitation in less than 20 minutes.
That's mental sagacity combined with economic sophistication at work.
We need a realist and pragmatist as president not a clueless rhetorical neophyte.
Get Atikulated........2019.
Copied

oga no dey lie to your self. resources control is what I termed restructuring in my own book.let each state fend for them self and the north we not support that. they are the majority in the house. ss crude oil is their hope of surviving.Atiku is a 419 . He new the Truth .The north we. not jettion thier interest because they want to please the south or be friendly with the president.so if his hope are on the perliament, means restructuring mantra is a fruid. the xlusive list wey atiku dey talk be. state police , handing over of federall road .abeg state wey no get money to pay 18,000k salary,no means of generating revenue by them self.

All these states need means of income to maintain the xlusive lists atiku his talking about. how osun that can not survive without fg allocation pay state police or maintain , build new road ?. before I can support atiku, in short period He should tell nigerian how all state in Nigeria we control the resources in their domain?

How did the most educated tribe allow themselves to fall this low

This good for nothing ipob people have nothing to lose I'd this country burns... She is not even in Nigeria

In any state in Nigeria after the indigenous tribe the next are igbos ...we have hundreds of billons of naira investment in each state in Nigeria

We control 70% of Nigerian market
60% of Nigerian banks

And one idiot who stayed in the UK for years and couldn't build a house in his father's compound is talking rubbish that we should let all this go?


Even in the UK where things work well what did kanu achieve? Tell me? Education zero, investment zero


Please to the rest of Nigerians ...ipob dont represent the interest of the igbos.. They are less than 5% of us... The real igbos are busy with business and education

izombie:
so when we say the truth you label us haters abi? Bros i am a nigerian too and i would love lagos to be one of the best cities on earth but i won't lie to myself if it's not. Lagos is by far the worst city that i have ever visited. No electricity,no water,no roads etc. All the pics pasted by the op look beautiful from the air but you and i know that is not what on ground. And for the record, enugu town is more well planned than lagos.

I am not saying Lagos is good or world class city.But it's the best you have as a Nigerian, be proud of your best.no state in Nigeria possesed all those amenities you mentioned above.The best in enugu can not stand third rated town or local government in Lagos.Stop your hatred toward your own.I am very proud of Nigeria . I am proud of you bro , but you are talking from emotion.

SarkinYarki:
Stop using carefully touched up picture to spread lies Lagos is no where near being a modern city just because you snapped and photoshopped a couple of Tinubus Sky scrapers and Shiro restaurant...


Lagos has no pipe borne water

80 percent of Lagos is Still very unplanned .

60 percent of roads in Lagos are still dirt roads .

70 percent of Lagosian have no access to a proper toilet or even a toilet


Bro , there is still so much to do than peddle carefully filtered pics

bro stop your hatred toward Lagos. Lagos and Abuja still the best in Nigeria and West Africa . have being to all west African countries and I can tell you vividly that this is your best for now so be proud of it. Maybe you tell me if there is any other state in Nigeria that is more developed than Lagos with all the amenities you mentioned above. You una hate una self for this country thats why u dey hate Lagos because you are not from the west. pls show me a well more planned city than Lagos in eastern part of nigeria.

PHIPEX:
Nnamdi KANU is fast losing whatever relevance he ever had. He forgot so quickly that an average Igbo don't take orders, they obey you if you are seen to care about their interest. I lost all regards for him when he declared no election in my state Anambra without offering any solution to the crises that will follow if such happens.

Someone close to him should tell him to stop feeling like a kind because Igbo enwe Eze. He's only a king in his family. If I were him, I'll judiciously use whatever money the govt paid him to start a tangible business.

because of vp slot you forget your Biafra and also downgrade your mentor . What if atiku didn't win the election. ok continue.I believe the Southwest know how to twist you people's brain

Brethren,
All I can say is that Buhari came and he is cleaning up the rot of that satanic synagogue called PDP.
Buhari is doing a lot with the little resources he's able to salvage from the national devastation PDP put us in.
I'm not in support of any party and neither do I like or support any current presidential candidate but going back to PDP is tantamount to going back to 1814.
And I'll say that I don't like Buhari because of his silence to important issues is appalling and irritating.
In most societies the populate is subtly left with the worst of the worst candidates to chose from which is also sad.
So... the best thing now is to get rid of all our current politicians and a new set should follow.
Only God can redeem this nation though. And we can't sit and wait for God to help us, we need to help ourselves so God can help us.

Another APCheat detected, alot of people live a life of hypocrisy in Nigeria, either to gain favour, wealth, appointment/employment, cheap fame, to mention a few... Lemme tell you something Mr icannotbedeceived, if you think you would gain something from PMB, my brother you had better think twice. Atimes I just laff when people think say PMB na better person. They don't know

and you what did you gain fronm gej govt that make u love home somuch or what are you going to gain from atiku govt that you want him elected as your President ?

u want make we spoir dis unaa three ba ? take time and watch your speech. ode yamiri. oloripelbe.

we go tribalise everything for this election. see as igbo dey abuse my great people because of mere vp wey pdp give Dem. make u na continue. I am ready to work for buhari second time.

Bannylove13:
One moniker said PDP is igbo party.. arewa youths and Acf thinks otherwise..

I told them tribalising this election won't help their cause.. .it will only make them appear to other Nigerians as being insensitive to the yearning of majority of Nigerians..and will even scuttle what ever chance of a Yorubas president in the future.. but Dem no gree ..na sophistocators..dem be with no intelligent.

The other one talk say..how we think say dia mother's an fathers in will vote Osibanjo..dia son..I no argue..

But what about those whose mothers and fathers no get son wey dey contest..but only know Buhari and Atiku?
Who he think those ones go vote for?

And those wey herdsmen don keep their own sons and daughters..fathers and mother's..who Dem go vote for?

The other said ..
Southwest go rig election for Buhari.. we all know Southwest last hope of buharis presidency being honest..cause Dem no say buhari don dey half way to lose .. is rigging.

But he can only rig if at least 40 percent of Nigerians are benefitting from his policies..
Okay..in this case their is nothing any Nigeria I benefitting from the government even in the west..except for few appointments..what else special..are else do the benefit?

Buhari, oshiomhole, kyari.apc and cabals knows tht this election will be so difficult to rig...and playing ethnic cards ain't selling again..the north is not interested.. middlebelt ain't interested..south ain't interested..we all want the Dullard out..

Yesterday..Boko shot an innocent pretty girl.. making sacrifice for her country at the back at close range ..and held one as slave for life ..na ipob abi igbos do am?

No matter how the Southwest wants to view or take this election is not gonna favor them.judging by the way they're playing ethnic card..
Okay
See this group..
Thanks want Gbenga Daniel or an average southwestern to be giving DG Atiku campaign.. In place of Saraki?

How could that be possible? Which of them have the power of saraki..and funny enough some slowpokes above have turned it to ipob igbo thing..is saraki igbo?
What will people of north Central and kwara think reading comments..

Southwest should wake up.. everyone is working hard to rescue this government from the Dullard..but they're working counter to that..and won't pay them..all because of their son ..let Nigerians keep dying abi..why de ty enjoy relative peace in their region..

You dey APC..nobody call am Yoruba party even though we all know you guys have major interest.. you told other Nigerians wherw were dey wen you guys qia supporting Apc..now the table has turn ..you can't take what you give..And you think Nigerians and party members are foolishly stupid to allow you guys armtwist them..like say na una brain lugard use almagamate Nigeria..
Dosen't work that way..

If you guys want to vote Osibanjo..vote Osibanjo... Nigerians already knows that..no sitting on the fence oe playing politics of sophistication..cos every one is sophisticated now..were all smart and wise..

Where you wia pushing Jonathan and dey way you guys qia going about it..many Nigerians warn about that kind of politics..but Lai Mohammed and Acn did not listen..

Now it's all xome back..
Vote who you wish to and stop threating fire where dragon no dey..

Atiku is winning this election by God's grace..and not Buhari can rig it..even in his northwest..he will still fail..

No be me talk am

bro talk small, 2015 election was all about tribalism. igbo voted for pdp because of juicy position occupied by them. the Southwest is about to do that dis 2019. we go write result for here.

my guy u no get brain. u dey compare state with country. hw u go use state wey dey use $ 2.7b finance population of 20m with new York wey dey use $137b finance population of 12m .My guy Lagos is dirty because of is congestion. You hate Lagos because it is located in the west.
