DIVINEEVIDENCE:
These guys should go and develop South East nau.
No be person build independent power plant for Aba?

Ndi Yoruba don't even realise the sort of situation they're creating with their collective igbophobia.

Give them 20 to thirty years, Lagos would be retired as the economic hub of the nation.


See South East thriving today from scratch and it'll be hard to reconcile the fact that this was a battlefield a few decades ago.

Despite marginalisation, useless leaders and absence of FG representation, they have emerged a force to reckon with in business, education, international investments etc.

Let myopic Yorubas force them back to the SE just to win elections.

In 30 years time, we'll be hearing about federal interventions to address imbalance in geopolitical economic development like we have today in education as evidenced by Educationally disadvantaged states and the federal character principle that enthrones regional representation over merit and qualifications.

This battle is over before it even started.
Only myopic fools will prosecute it.

Yes, please ohhhh.

Go and develop the South East! Igbo resources are needed there!

Kingpele:
This is what I was saying state government doesn't have right to enter FG territory but now some state government is seizing up FG lands and FG is doing nothing about it...today I thank that I later change my mind from relocation to lagos in 2009 ...my guy that was preaching to me to come to lagos is now lamenting....such is life

Where is the federal government territory in question?

Is Lagos State Trade Fair Complex a federal government territory?

Please don't go to Lagos, the state is congested already. Go and develop your state or other states.

Abeg!

Brendaniel:
I read the article, so what exactly is the fault of the owners for the demolition?

Sorry, j wasn't done writing:

You either didn't read this article we'll or you missed some information on it.

When I saw the demolition, I thought the same way. I was wondering why Lagos State Government allowed the approval and development of the buildings in the first place but the hidden truth lies in this article.

Obviously, the developers of those properties dealt and got the land acquisition and building permits through the Lagos International Trade Fair Complex Management Board (LITFCMB). They developers also felt the LITFCMB is an agency of a Federal Ministry, hence Federal Government.

Lagos State government must have communicated the disapproval to the developers but they must have insisted on continuing the projects even when Lagos state government is against it but they were relying on the authority of the LITFCMB.

What they chose to ignore is that the land and properties in Lagos are under the control and powers of Lagos State Government. LITFCMB is subject to the Lagos State government and the Authority of Lagos State government is superior to the authority of LITFCMB.

Besides, why didn't the igbo developers invest these funds in developing properties and land in the South East? Why the constant focus on investment in Lagos, yet when they encounter challenges, they want to blame the government of Lagos State.

Brendaniel:
I have said this thing before, there is no construction, renovation whether from foundation or roof level in Lagos state that the government does not know about, if you think I am lying, just go to any part of Lagos and observe any building that starts construction if that building will not get a notice on it in less than a week from the government.

So for the same government to come and declare so many buildings that have been existing for years or buildings that got notice from them with some form of approval afterwards to be illegal is laughable at the same time annoying.

Housing:
You see NUPENG and PENGASSAN, are the arms wing of the petroleum industry cabal.

Nupeng charging N50,000 per truck every year apart from the union dues that the driver of that truck will pay as his membership dues.

Warri, Port-Harcourt and Kaduna refinery became obsolete and not working yet they are there to protect their stomach but can't ensure profitability of those asset so that their members and upcoming generation can be proud and sure of sustainability.

After collapsing and rendering the government refinery moribund they now turn to gate men and depot and dock workers at ship loading bay collecting illegal taxes in the name union charges.

Can you explain what the ₦50k charge is for? There must be a purpose for the charge.

GloriousGbola:
These illiterates don't even KNOW what PENGASSAN is.

Honestly, a lot of Nigerians are illiterates on this issue between Dangote Refinery and PENGASSON and NUPENG.

When Dangote Refinery started their challenge with NUPENG, I was hoping they could resolve it amicably but when they took the challenge further to PENGASSON, I knew that Dangote Refinery was gonna feel the full wrath of the labor unions.

PENGASSON is actually senior staff association and Dangote Refinery feels they can challenge them and get away with it.

Before Dangote Refinery, there has been many oil and gas companies in the Nigerian oil and gas industry and they all work with PENGASSON members and resolve their differences.

Who the hell is Dangote Refinery?

The war just dey start ohhhh.

infohenry:
Please don't even support this pengassan criminals bro this is my industry, this guys are criminals they have caused a lot damage to oil and gas industry in Nigeria. Shell sold all their onshore assets is because of this guys awards all sorts contracts to themselves and cronies declared productive wells non productive turn around sold to their friends. They are evil if dangote want to succeed he must not allow them to occupy strategic positions in his company. NNPC is not working is because of this guys.

How are they criminals? You are just making unsubstantiated allegations.

Kindered:
co-habiting in same country with this type of unscrupulous, unalloyed, unstable and unjust nouns is a slap on humanity.

You are free to get out of the country; just japa!

Who wants to cohabit with you anyway?

owagbeba:
Dangote imports his crude. And exports his product. When this effect hits the dollar exchange rate , then Association of bureau de change go protest. A country wey get crude oil, but factory for the country dey import crude to use…. What a country!

You think this is elementary politics. This is politics and struggle beyond your comprehension. You don't even know what is going on.

erico2k2:
I think he can, cos he can buy crude abroad and sell PMS abroad

Let him try naa. If Dangote Refinery lose Nigeria market, they have lost a significant chunck of market share.

happney65:
Pengasson is capping. Real capping. Why should unionization be made compulsory? Why?

They can go ahead and do their worst and Dangote should call off their bluff. Because on this,I support Dangote 100percent

If Dangote Refinery get mind, then the refinery should call off PENGASSON's bluff naaaa.

We dey wait.

chiagozien:
Hypocrite

Ye ye! If I am hypocritical for not engaging in your senseless talks then so be it.

chiagozien:
Why accusing those better than your Nigeria.


Your Nigeria have done worst which you people hailed them, but you are here showing your hypocrisy.

Don't derail the topic, if you want to talk Nigeria, feel free to open a topic on Nigeria on another thread. Not this one.

Chief Disruptor

Feelsgood:
Support you by endangering your life? Oya continue... who's dying in their numbers? I no wan hear genocide o... "supporting you" indeed.

I don't need you to support, there is no where I asked you to support me. I don't need your support and Gaza people or the Palestinians don't need your support too.

Keep your support to Israel or in your pocket.

Feelsgood:
So where did Hamas come from. Are they not of Palestinian origin. It's like you telling me Boko Haram are not Nigerians because they kill Nigerians. The video of Palestinians rejoicing and shouting Allah Akbar when Hamas beheaded three Palestinians some days back... I'm sure the Palestinians will disagree with you on being different from them

So are all the Borno state people members of Boko Haram?

Why wouldn't they rejoice. If you are a Palestinian, you would rejoice at the instance that anyone or body is able to help you confront Israel.

chiagozien:
Your Nigeria have done worst than Israel

We are not talking Nigeria on this thread, we are talking about Israel here.

If you wanna talk Nigeria, create another thread for it.

lordwoz:
I mean in terms of technology and education/knowledge.

What do you mean by "that identifies as Zionist relation" ?

The Igbo tribe identifies claim they are from the Jews - descendants of jews.

That is what I mean.

hope4nigeria:
free hostages today and see if hostility won't stop, but in as much as Hamas keep holding on to the remaining hostages, you know we can only be arguing here, more people will continue to go for it

The world has seen Israel for who they are - terrorists. We will not forget what Israel has done.

History will judge the Israelis!

hope4nigeria:
free your mind from terrorism then you will be free, Israel always give first hand warning to civilians to stay away from arms way, but because those who unfortunately met in cross fire have same ideology with Hamas and nothing Israel can do about it, the war would have ended in October 10 2023 if Hamas had released hostages and surrender but terrorists understand force language, all of you pro Palestine would have helped if you had pasuaded Hamas to free hostages instead of these hipocracy

Ap terorist Israel is now the one trying to free the Palestinians people from terrorist Hamas?

What an irony!

An Interview with Oba Alhaji Abdulazeez Adebayo Olateju, The Oba Yoruba in Enugu,
Who settled in Enugu 46 years ago, in 1979

Excerpts:
Interviewer: Where are you from, sir?
Oba: I am from Ede, in Osun State.

Interviewer: You speak Igbo so fluently. Where did you learn it from?
Oba (responding in Igbo): I learned the language here in Enugu. God gave me the gift of understanding languages and the ear to hear. Many people often wonder if I was born or schooled here, but that’s not the case. I was already an adult, fully grown when I relocated to Enugu from Osun. I even voted during the era of Jim Nwobodo and later for Shehu Shagari.

Interviewer: I also learned you speak Hausa. Did you learn it here too?
Oba (replying in Hausa): Yes, I speak and understand Hausa fluently but I have never lived in the North. I picked it up here in Enugu, just by listening to people around me.

Oba: Everywhere I go in Igboland, people take me as one of their own. My grandmother who once tried to discourage me from settling here in Igboland but before she passed in 2012 was very happy and always thanking God for leading me to Igboland. I kept bringing all my relatives here and today they are all doing well because Igboland is good to us.

There is nothing like "oba Yoruba" In anywhere, not in Enugu, Not any state in Nigeria or abroad.

All Obas have a territory where they preside ceremoniously in the Yoruba land, not any other land.

hope4nigeria:
in history of the war between Israel and Palestine! Tell me one that Israel started it? None. So you must be prepared to live by the consequences of your actions. If it's you, will you allow the people who attack you unprovoked to move freely near you? If Nigeria go it's separate ways today, tell me who in the West will allow herdsmen to near his territory due to past experience.

Did you even read what I wrote and you responded to?

You(Israel) have responded to the attack by Hamas, you have killed multiples of Palestinians and killed a majority of Hamas members. Hamas has been decimated by Israel, is that not enough?

When do you stop killing innocent people of Palestine? When will you draw the line between response to attack and mass genocide and annihilation of a people? When will you realize that these women and children are not the killers of Israelis?

hope4nigeria:
not all Palestinians are Hamas but all Palestinians support Hamas against Israel, go and check archives documentary on October 7, there was heavy echo of Allah wa kubar across Gaza City every Palestinians jubilating the killings of Jews, truth can never be manipulated, call for hostages freedom then the war will be over, without that, there will be no peace for the wicked

When you oppress a people for years, scrutinize how they live their lives, hack their phones at will, determine what comes into their space, determine the food they eat, how often they eat, the jobs they do, the gadgets they can have and ultimately prevent them from becoming a republic nation. You attack them at will, arrest them at will, seize their land at will and treat them like trash, enforce Aphatheied government in their land.

Why wouldn't the Palestinians hate the Israelis?

Israel land and territory was defined in 1948 at UN before relocating the jews to that space; Israel land does not extend to West Bank but Israel has been consciously grabbing lands in annexation of West Bank. They are now trying to also annex the Gaza Strip, these are not Israeli lands but Israel has been shadow governing and harrasing Palestinians in those lands.

Israel should mind her country and leave Palestinians alone. Palestinians want to be recognized as a nation, leave them and let the world decide to recognize them as a nation. Then they can have their government, military and protect themselves from the terrorist called Israel.

Cti28:
Majority are not always right. Infact history have proven this.

History proved that no one is more right than every one who took same opinion against you.

lordwoz:
I believe the Yorubas are actually the Is Israel-ly of Nigeria tho

In what way: what are the similarities?

We already have a tribe in Nigeria that identifies as Zionist relations and the last I checked - that was the Igbo tribe, not Yoruba.

Feelsgood:
So has that reason given them what they're asking for? Instead it has brought more tears for its people. You guys just don't understand... Israel will never allow hamas to have any kind of "victory". Researches have shown a people who want exterminate Israel and expects Israel to fold their hands ... It's not gonna happen... Israel has repeatedly said it over and over and over again. Hamas will be CRUSHED!

Differentiate Hamas and Palestinian people. They are not the same.

That is all we ask you.

Feelsgood:
Then why did Hamas attack in the first place? What was their aim for such? Now see the consequences... you poke the bear and expect not to be "mauled" to death!? Hamas asked for it and got it coming.

You asking what was their aim seems to mean that you didn't research the matter. They put up their reasons severally, read up about it.

However, their reasons doesn't justify the attack on Israel.

Ekaka14:
So the problem now is Bibi and Israel and not Hamas and other Iran proxies in the Region who master minded that horrible and despicable October massacre that has spiraled into all these all out wars and skirmishes?🙄
If you attack me "unprovoked" or while other nations including rabid Arab haters of Israel who want a Palestinian state are working their a.ss off to secure peace in the region and progressively a Palestinian state, you cannot tell me how to react when I do...it's that simple!!

Hamas was always a problem, we acknowledged that they are terrorisrs for years.

However, Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel have become a bigger problem - terrorists.

Your problem is that you can't see the difference between the Hamas and the ordinary Palestinians. You think they are the same but no, they are not. The helpless Palestinian children, women and harmless men aren't the terrorists.

Israel's claim to eliminate Hamas should not be masked as license to wipe out Palestinians and their history on that land, grab Palestinians land and destroy their livelihood, properties and existence. The Palestinians lives matters too.

PHIPEX:
they are now criminal because they overpowered you? When last did you hear Iran make pim?

What's Hamas to you?

Hamas and Israel are both terrorists. The only difference between both is that Israel is more powerful terrorist than Hamas.

Besides, you think Iran is just silent - they are Strategizing for their next moves.

Pikin wey say him mama no go sleep, the pikin sef no go sleep too.

Mrexcell:
God almighty has given the land of isreal and palastine to the Jewish nation on covenant any athiest or muslim nation challenging this fact has only God not isreal to contend with.

You don dey talk from your colo side of the brain and mind

Saint99:
Netanyahu na man him be. Read the complete speech, and you will remove your cap for him. Well prepared.

You can't be right against everyone's opinion.

When majority see something wrong with your actions but only you and few see your actions as right. Then you are most certainly wrong, you are just being sentimental about the truth.
