Lagos indigenes have said they don’t have a problem with Igbos, but they do have a problem with people from neighboring states claiming Lagos to be theirs and trying to sideline the indigenes and determine who stays in Lagos.

As in, Lagosians were accommodating enough to attract people from all over the country and beyond, but some people who also moved to Lagos from neighboring states are now claiming Lagos and scaring away other dwellers with their obnoxious behaviors

I didn’t make this up. It’s on the news

It is not about Lagosians being accommodating.

It is simply the outcome of making any location the country's capital.
Same thing is happening in Abuja. The indigenes are there and welcome people from every part of the country.

If Enugu, Kogi, Jigawa or any State becomes the capital tomorrow, the indigenes have no choice than to welcome everyone else.

It is what it is. Not a divine trait of Lagosians

Sholaco:
Well, ABA is a no man's land

You know what's peculiar?

If you say this to any Igbo person, you cannot get a reaction from him. This comment can never get him pissed off.
Do you know why? Because they are mere words that hold no impact.
Make same comment about Lagos to a Yoruba man, and he'll go into an epileptic fit.

What does that tell you?

SamaritanGirl:
Let her eat it first. Nothing will make me employ house help.

Good to see you're female. It is usually the woman who decides (and gives final authority ) on employing a maid (househelp in Naija parlance)

I am against it as well, but madam insisted she needed one.
My mind "no touch ground" after she finally got one. I'm always scared she might harm my kids.
Until mother in-law visited and she found pins in the food the maid served her!

No way two small pins could have gotten into the food by mistake.
Madam promptly fired her, and we have been living in some peace since then!

Bestmanfornow:
The Ten storey Five Star hotel which Anambra state governor Prof Charles Soludo is constructing in Awka where the 10,000 seating International convention Centre is located has commenced fully

Do you know how hotels receive star ratings?
Obviously not.

Otherwise, you won't describe a hotel that has barely commenced full service, even though is new, has a five star rating.

There is NO single five star hotel in Nigeria. People may say a certain hotel in the country is five star because it looks cool, but none has such rating yet. Most of the top hotels in Naija are rated 3 stars at most.

yoruboid:
Are these the primitive people we keep arguing with on SM

Celebrating their first bus stop in 2024

Not true. There are many designated bus stops in Aba. I can tell because I've been there countless times.
What this report probably meant was that a structure that serves as bus stop shelter was built for the first time.

If you're 100% sure, why are you calling for an investigation? Just show your 100 % proof!

Reality3080:
See where people build house for crying out loud n later some people will start crying victimization

Does this make sense?

When you realize these houses have approved building plans, registered survey plans and have been paying land use charge to LASG, why won't they claim victimization if govt demolish their houses?

It is same govt officials that are complicit in these shady approvals in the first place. That is what makes it painful.

I avoided lots of buildings located near drainages when I wanted to rent or buy.

Thats the issues i always have with you people

The commission in charge says one thing, none of the Uni in the SE has come out to debunk it, but somehow you feel your personal assumption in your own mind should be used to challenge a "stated fact for now"?


How does this even sound?

If no Uni form the SE has come out to debunk this, isnt it more sane to assume these guys are stating the truth?

Like say all the people wey dey work with the NELFUND na even Non-Igbos

Rest and keep your Owerri logic to your whatsapp group

You are 100% right.
This should be the line of thought we should toe in this case.

However...

Nigeria has made all of us victims.
Only the wrong thing happen here, mostly.
We have been exposed to, and moulded by the bizarreness and abnormal entity called Nigeria, so it is hard to take a neutral or sane position when situations like this happen.

What's more scary is, it often turns out that those who have taken the default position of never trusting the words of government agencies turn out to be correct most of the time.

Sigh!

CoronaVirusPro:
What will never happen in sane country!

No African country has ever experienced such in modern times.

You're right.
We have better incidents here.

We got terror groups kidnapping bus loads of travellers, or hundreds of school kids. Many of the victims end up raped, butchered and sold for organ trafficking or as sëx släves.
We got suicide bombers detonating their IEDs in crowded places like markets and bus parks.

A lone individual attacking and stabbing people is a kindergarten move, and we are scared of that!

Chriswazo:


Where are u buying cement 7500 sir?

This was near to Owerri.

jidestroud:
Just this morning, I had to buy 2000 block at the rate of N450 per block and a trailer of sharp sand for 95k.

Why? Nothing gives me more assurance than fencing the land immediately. Moreover, I was told cattle grazing is a big issue around here, so it's better i raise the fence enough go cows would be able to climb over.

Did you lease the land, or is it outright purchase?

Just wondering, as you are building a fence around it.

michlins:
Whenever I see people build now, I just marvel and shake.

It takes an enormous amount of fortitude to price the building materials sef

True.

However, prices have become a bit stable now.
I remember last year when prices increased daily, sometimes within few hours interval.
I bought cement at ₦12,700 last year!
The most I paid this year is about ₦7,500.

Smitaro100:
I'm seeing two different ladies up there, d first lady left eye was affected while the second lady's right eye is affected and beside they don't really look alike, so who now is telling her story among the two different ladies I'm seeing?

In the hospital, someone snapped her (back camera)
In the other photos, it was selfie (front camera)
So, lateral eversion due to mirroring of the camera app made it look like it happened to the other eye.

OKOATA:
It's called Exotropia. Cover the good eye with a pirate patch. The one Ruger the musical artist use, leave the nonaligned one eye to function. Do it like every 2hrs for the day and the non-aligned eye will realign till it's ok. Do it consistently and you will see changes.

*Covering the good eye forces the brain to rely on the weak eye, which can help improve its vision and alignment. This is a common technique used in vision therapy to treat Exotropia and other eye alignment issues.

So the best time to start is now because if she reaches 10yrs old it might be difficult. It's best from ages of 5-10yrs. Thanks.

Thanks for that tip.

However, depending on the direction of deviation (she didn't mention) it could be either exotropia (outwards) or esotropia (inwards)

Patching alone can't solve the problem. Correcting the refractive error of the deviating eye via glasses MUST be done as well.

Gift150:


This is a big relief to me. I'll try this out. Thank you

That advice by OKOATA is the best (non surgical) you might try at this time.
However, IT WILL NOT BE ENOUGH!

Reason?
Because she is 7 years old already.
At this age, most deviations are nearly permanent if untreated.

Now, as someone who is experienced on this, here's what you need to do ASAP: take her to an eye clinic.
Request that a CYCLOPLEGIC REFRACTION be done on her.
It is a process where a certain eyedrop (1% cyclopentolate) is applied to both eyes, and then a test for glasses is done after about 30 to 40 minutes after 3 doses of the eyedrop has been applied to her eyes.
This will give the result of the glasses she will need to use.
After about 3 or more days later, the effect of the eye drops (blurred vision) will have worn out, and you take the child back to the eye clinic for a post-cycloplegic test.

A good optometrist knows how to handle this. Your child will be prescribed the glasses that gives the best correction for her eyes, and she MUST wear the glasses everyday.
You also need to patch or cover the good eye about 2 hours everyday (A MUST!!!) so that the weak and deviated eye will be forced to work harder and become straight.

I must also say your hubby is careless and/or ignorant. He had same issue, and should have at least researched the cause of it. The moment it was noticed on your child, he would have sought for medical intervention immediately.

What causes it is that one eye (the deviated one) is weak and does not see as good as the other eye. Because it is not properly aligned, it causes double vision. In other to see better, your child subconsciously suppresses it. As time goes by, the eye gets weaker and becomes redundant...and gets more deviated.


Wish you and your child the best 🙏

There is no blame on anyone,not government or the coy or anyone
Where do you think the estate is located
Do you think the estate is in Ibeju lekki or epe?

The estate is in Ajah and if you look closely you will see how developments has taken its shape
In the estate,and all
This things you mentioned are done already
Plus there are 3 kind of light provided by the company

The nepa
The solar light
And the generator light

So please ask questions before you type and stop
Jumping into conclusions on people page
Thank you

Done already?

You must think constructing septic tank is same as central sewage.
Pipe borne water? That isn't same as boreholes.

Sure, I know the place is in Ajah. Still doesn't make it worth the amount being quoted.
No, I don't need to ask you anything, because I know those facilities don't exist there.

This is laughable.

₦165,000 per M²
Means for a standard sized plot, I have to pay upwards of ₦100m

This, just for a piece of land without basic facilities.
Not central sewage, not pipe borne water, not an assurance of stable electricity...

Why wouldn't many resort to crime there?

I know the blame isn't on the real estate coy trying to sell. The blame is on a country without direction, or foundation or a bankable future.

Meanwhile, the term "free from govt acquisition" has lost every meaning in Naija, especially in Lagos.

Sigh.

BEDBUG.

Obviously, you live in a bug infested environment.

MOSQUITOS ARE EVERYWHERE IN NAIJA. BEDBUGS ARE NOT!

That is a huge difference.
Once you move out from where you are living, dump your mattress, sofa, other furnitures that bedbugs hide in, and get new stuff for your new apartment, you've most probably gotten rid of bedbugs.

As for mosquitoes?
They are no respecter of persons or status.
The wealthiest homes in Naija are still fighting mosquitos everyday.

Saturnalia:


First of all, you’re an illiterate.

You wrote $59,490,710 which is Fifty Nine Million, Four Hundred And Ninety Thousand, Seven Hundred And Ten Dollars.

Do you know the meaning of the amount of money you wrote up there?

To explain it gently to you, so that your Akpu & Ogbono Soup fermented brain can assimilate it;

$10,000,000 (Ten Million Dollars) = Approximately 16 Billion Naira.

Now, 59,490,710 (Fifty Nine Million Dollars - which you wrote up there) = 96 Billion Naira.

This is my problem with you people from that region. Like your fellow fraudulent & criminally-minded cohorts at the Nairaland Auto & Property Sections; majority of you no get sense.

You will just slam an outrageous & unrealistic price tag on an “Accidented or Flooded Vehicle” or “Buildings built with substandard materials that are certainly going to collapse within 3 years max” and expect sensible & reasonable Patriots (Like Myself) to patronize you?

Even this useless Property that is being advertised on this thread, Nobody - I repeat, Nobody will buy it for “9 Billion Naira - which is what the dumb marketer is trying to write”.

You build properties with fake & substandard materials and then when they collapse; in your self denial & delusion, you shout DANGOTE CEMENT!

Even if you build your properties with foreign Cement & materials; those properties will still collapse.

My point is - I will rather buy my properties or vehicles from an Hausa/Fulani or my Tribesmen (of course after conducting my due diligence) than to patronize any good-for-nothing hateful & unpatriotic elements, whose only motivation and source of happiness is to bring down others and celebrate their misfortunes.

Are you done? 🤣😁😁🤣

Now, you can go out and protest.
Yes, he made a mistake with his figures in the advert, but...
The advert wasn't meant for your types who couldn't buy a ¼ plot in a remote village in Ogbomosho.

Wake Up, Southeast Nigeria: Silence Isn't Golden When the Country is Sinking

Since the protests began, I've been down in Southeast Nigeria, working and keeping a close eye on the deafening silence from the region.

During a chat with one of the traders, he nonchalantly remarked that the rising cost of commodities didn't bother him—he simply sold at the price he bought. I didn't find that comment amusing at all; it was like watching someone proudly declare they had no idea how basic economics worked. So, I threw in a curveball: "Can you compare the level of patronage?" He went silent, probably regretting his earlier confidence.

Our country is like a sinking ship, and it's going to take all hands on deck to keep it afloat. Whether we like it or not, we're all under the same Nigerian umbrella, and any policy made affects each of us. Demanding a better Nigeria is a cause that excludes no one.

Hats off to those in the Southwest, South, and North who are protesting. Many of them voted for Tinubu, and I'm glad they're now willing to hold him accountable instead of blindly cheering his useless policies.

But to my friends in the Southeast: now is not the time to stay silent. Even if the average South Easterner dreams of Biafra, the leaders representing this region have sold out, making the APC more popular here than anywhere else in the South. In their power quest, Southeast leaders are flocking to the APC en masse.

I urge everyone, regardless of tribe, language, or religion, to come out and demand a better Nigeria. There's a lot at stake.

But of course, you are so far gone, that your nearly inexistent grey matter cannot help you realize this is a classic satirical comment.

If Peter Obi knows that Tinubu was elected as president, he wouldn't have gone to court in the first place.
You and the rest of APC loving urchins are so dvmb and pathetic, it is not a wonder how you keep supporting everything that has been happening since 2015.

VinnyBaba:


OP, This is actually NONSENSE, not Maturity.

This smirks of Unpatriotism and COWARDICE. Other Regions can't be Protesting against Bad Governance and you sit down, giving flimsy Excuses.

This Action will hurt Igbos in the Future.

If South East Leaders are Smart, they should Quickly encourage Protests now.

See dis rëtardëd mofo
It wasn't unpatriotism when, beginning from 2015, INEC disregarded the fact that Buhari has no qualification to contest for office, and allowed him anyway?
It wasn't unpatriotism that Tinubu had more baggage than Buhari, yet INEC allowed him to contest.
Tinubu was confirmed to be a certificate forger, drug dealer, into identity theft etc.

It wasn't unpatriotism when INEC shut down the IREV as election results where pouring in, and forged results in favor of Tinubu which it announced by 4am?

Since 2015, Igbos have been protesting, but the rest of you mocked us and called us every manner of unprintable names.

Alakọri talking about how no protest will hurt Igbos. Nigeria has done nothing but plot the downfall and ultimate demise of Igbos since 1960. It is nothing new to us. We will take it in our stride.

You and the rest of the country who backed Buhari and Tinubu should go and protest.
We have done ours for 9 years, since 2015. We have handed you the baton.
It is time for us to take a break and cheer you all from the sidelines.

Ndị apari.

I don't think the government are interested in such.
Tinubu want to rule and pack his money in peace.
Ndiigbo should stay clear.
Simply hiring private security agents, police and military to protect the markets will get the job done in my humble opinion.
Let's stop the paranoid attitude.
Tinubu need the markets doing well and remitting enough tax for him to recoup his investments into Nigerian politics.
Why should he want to destroy the market if we don't start joining the stupid protest?

It doesn't make sense nwannem.

This is you crediting Tinubu and APC with sense 😀🤣

Those guys are horribly dumb.

Argentines are hardcore racists... the only country in the whole of south america that dont have a single black player ... infact in the whole of the Americas , but north and south .... No black player could command a shirt in barca when Messi was captain... infact he made sure Eric abidal ,( first black sporting director of football for barca )was sacked , after Messi disrespected him in the media ... all the fools celebrating Argentina because of their love for messi... pls try to step foot in Buenos Aires and u will think that u are indeed an animal ... Argentina is the worst country on earth when it comes to racism and Antisemitism.... they were the only country that gave the Nazis asylum after WW2 and there are speculations that Hitler never committed suicide ...he was smuggled to Argentina were he died a natural death , alongside his top generals ... most people don't know history

I was about to make exact same comment.

The Argentinians killed off every single black slave imported to their country during that era.
The ones who made it are those who were in neighboring countries.
Yes, they are still Nazi sympathizers till this day.
Dark skinned people from their neighbors in Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia etc, avoid visiting Argentina.

You should know that.
Nigerians don't mostly don't have such loyalty to a party. You can see how the politicians shamelessly jump from one party to another just so they can by among those who are sharing money
