. Do you want our hardworking DSS to track you down too?

If they do 1/3 of that effort they used in tracking MNK in tracking Fulani Herdsmen then the security situation in this nation will not be palpitable.

Another award from Vee magazine, the popular award dasher of the decade

Kalulu44:
And you too are myopic in your views. So bcus Ademola Lookman is a Nigeria guy, I should now say he's better than Lamal or Raphinha.
Osimhen is good and plus to Nigeria football, but I won't bcus of that say he's better than Halaand or Kane or Lewandoski or Lautaro Martinez and so many strikers.

Osimhen is better than all those strikers except Halland. Haaland na Osi senior brother for strike power

autoez:
Tinubu is poised to be the best president in the history of Africa.

Tinubu will be worst president so far. Someone who caused Nigeria means of livelihood to be all time low. Are you aware we now rank as the poorest countries to live in?

chiagozien:
Who needs their apology.





People that are taught from kids by their parents to hate omo Igbos

You're actually the one venting your hatred. I'm Igbo but I'm increasingly getting irritated about how you self-acclaimed online igbos enjoy spewing enthic sentiments here on Nairaland. It's folks like you that have been causing trouble for us with the Yorubas here in Lagos. You probably stay in Asaba, Onitsha or Aba and be shouting Lagos is no man's land. Who told you that? Biko! Make una dey una lane. Allow us to do manage our affairs with the yorubas here in Lagos, stop stop our friendship

mascot87:
The usual comment of a Lagos hater. No new thing here. We always know you people hate Lagos and SW.

But I am 100% sure no single South East will ever rant close to Lagos till the end of the world. So keep the hates alive

Go back to Ekiti oga! Embrace your home. Stop claiming Lagos. The Aworis have to leave their lagos for them, dem no send una message

I see some idiots using this opportunity to take a swipe at Igbos. You folks are unbelievably myopic. So Lagos being a leading tech hub means a victory against the Igbos.
Lagos being a tech hub doesn't mean the success is for the yorubas only, everyone involved in tech development gets to share in the spoils of the opportunities it provides, why should you folks make it feel like the opportunities is only open to you yorubas?
If this news should mean anything to you. It should be the Lagos is cosmopolitan society that is that welcomes innovation from all over the world. Stop making it feel like the achievement is for your yorubas only. It never was, it's a shared achievement.
Anyway congratulations to Lagos on that feat. 👏

jiggyman:
Lmaoo thats something called executive order, he has signed it already. Stop relying on nairaland.com for news.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cm2zk4l8g26o.amp

He's executive order can easily be overruled by another president. His needs the vote of Congress to make those policies permanent, that I don't see happening

EngrHumble:
Nonsense. Dangote Refinery is a private business, and it has every right to decide whether its workers unionize or not. Imagine someone outside trying to run my company for me, when I’m the one paying taxes and taking care of my staff.

You're not taking care if your staff. The workers are offering their time abd services for the growth of your company, in return you pay them stipends. The workers have every right to join a union that protects their rights and interest.

SmartPolician:
Why is NRC managing these trains? No government agency should manage government enterprises. Nigerian public servants are a bunch of useless people; they destroyed this country. All government businesses should be managed by private people on PPP arrangement.

I don't believe every government enterprise should be privatised. I believe government can effectively run enterprises so long as the right people are managing the enterprise.

planetx:
No be only $60 billion na $60 Trillion. Keep deceiving yourselves.

I swear I myself even doubt that investment amount. I'm yet to see any known world 🌎 financial institution that will fund that project. Even AfDB, Africa's premier financial institution can foot that bill, is it a foreign institution that will fund it?

Penguin2:
The one that will be washed away after one heavy rain like the sakamanje they did in Ikorodu?

I went to Port Harcourt and saw the huge difference between purposeful leadership and the disaster that has been going on in Lagos since Ambode was booted out.

For a state that generates about 20billion monthly as IGR with huge allocation from FAAC, Lagos should be a construction site.

But what do you have?

Estates and communities are the ones who now contribute to build their roads.

Go to Awoyaya axis of Ibeju Lekki. In fact, the entire Ibeju Lekki and even Ajah and Sangotedo, zero internal road network.

But come to Port Harcourt, almost all internal roads are tarred. City is serene and neat.

Unfortunately, fools keep defending the ineptitude in Lagos leadership. Either due to ignorance or self sabotage.

Oga! I'm reside in Lagos and I can tell 100% that road constructed in Badagry dwarfs all those yeye internal road in Port-harcourt. Please don't ever compare Port-harcourt to Lagos. The economic margin is wide. River state should only compare herself with Imo, Delta state. They have similar economic outputs.

Most likely an pope of Asian origin

IPIGSRSHALLOW:
Ikwere are now Igbos? Keep clowning 🤡
Unity begging

You go explain tire, no evidence!

Portharcourt, Aba and possibly Onitsha traders and merchants now have a defined trade route. This one of the dreams of late Eastern premier, Michael Okpara for the eastern region but the civil war and the stupidity of the Ikwerres
hindered this.

Trump's executive order on birth right restrictions will only live as long as he's in office. Once he's out of office, that executive order becomes null and void.

Obi Wali would be heaving a sigh of relief. Obi Wali who struggled for the creation of Rivers State was one of the founding members of Ohaneze' Ndigbo. Some folks failed to understand that Port-Harcourt played a huge role in the formation of Ohaneze Ndigbo.

McStoic:
Nice comments here. The North and other parts of Nigeria won't like this. Make Wike come deny his Igboness make we see

Wike is free to deny his igboness. We don't need that tout as one of us. Let him carry his agbero lifestyle to his kinsmen in Benin.

PROPHETmichael:
Domingo Thomas Ekot, a 75-year-old retiree said his houses consisting of many flats were affected by the demolition exercise and demanded that he should be paid “

Tribal bigot! Is that an Igbo name?

That mofo is being sarcastic. Read in-between the lines...

That's why I don't rate all these social media billionaires, They are all what they claim they are not

GeneralPula:
But PH is not in the east..

Anyway, goodluck to them o

Port Harcourt is still a part of the eastern region if we look at it geographically.

kettykin:
The relocation wave is surging with intensity. Landmark Group has boldly uprooted and shifted its entire operations. One can only hope that the dominant Niger Delta-owned banks and oil giants will seize the moment, relocating their headquarters—or at least a significant part of their operations—to Port Harcourt. Failure to act now risks leaving the region vulnerable to the next toxic chapter of political neglect and economic marginalization as the proverbial cock crows its timely warning.


Due to numerous inquiries in the thread.PH was part an parcel of the Eastern region. PH was originally developed to evacuate coal from Enugu. PH was originally called Igweocha.

They are absolutely losing their minds over a business that coughs up N10 Billion per year in taxes relocating to PH . Imagine the chaos if bigger players like Access Bank, UBA, Zenith Bank, Seplat, Nextoil, or even the Zinox Group decide to pack up and leave too. Lagos is living on borrowed time, and the clock is ticking.

Word on the street is that even Dangote is fed up with Lagos’ endless drama. Rumor has it he’s planning to move his main HQ to Abuja and rent out his Lagos office once it’s finished. If that happens, expect BUA to follow suit, and Lagos will finally settle into the role everyone’s been envisioning: the economic hub of Yoruba land and little more.

Lagos will continue to prosper even if they all relocate. I'm Igbo but I must tell you the truth, ain't no way PH will ever rival Lagos in economic size or opportunities. It could have been possible if we still had the old eastern region as a whole with Enugu being the regional capital and PH been the business epicentre as planned by Late Mike Okpara. If the foundation he layed was followed up to the letter, then Lagos would have been struggling to catch up with PH because the oil and gas activities and blossoming business activities from Aba all the way down to Port-harcourt would have been huge challenge for Lagos to catchup.
But atlas, the civil war, the Igbo phobia by other enthic groups in the eastern region took away all those potentials. Awolowo was smart enough to take advantage of that to foster Lagos as the economic standpoint where all things will emanate from. That's why everyone since the 70s had to migrate down to Lagos to seek job opportunities. The more population Lagos had, the bigger its market which was attractive for us all the Banks, Multi-nationals and other business to make Lagos their headquarters.
So my guy ain't no way PH will rival lagos, except there's no more Nigeria

Wike is highly corrupt and prideful in corrupt way. I thank God Fubara has dealt a serious blow to fucking ego, otherwise Rivers allocation would have been funding his lavish lifestyle

Roman Catholicism as an institution has lasted for more than 2 millenias. Damina definitely wasn't there when Roman Catholicism protected the christainism. Were it not the efforts of the Popes throughout the ages, Christianity would have been forgotten religion.

Either of Ndoni, Egbema or Etche people of Rivers state should vie for the position of Ohanaeze but you see, Ikwerre people let them go and vie for the position of Oba of Benin's houseboy.
I wonder why we keep showing brotherhood to those Ikwerrians that consistently rejected us whereas we have fellow brothers in Etche, Egbema and Ndoni that have never denied their Igbo identities and would always identify with us.

colossus91:
Sir truth be told look man has been the most in form African player, he came second at Afcon bro he was instrumental to Atalanta winning Europa, he was named in balon d or list bro

Exactly bro! Someone who was voted the 13 best player in the world and the only African in the rank will of ballon d'or
There's no logical reason not to crown Lookman as CAF POTY

happney65:
What do we need free meters for in the first place? Does the government give us free phones?

Why is it difficult for them to fully privatize the sector and get away with this nonesense of subdizing rubbish that will be embezzeled and won't get to us in the first place

How I wish Elrufai was the minister of Power and not Adelabu

Oga don't type rubbish there. Because you can afford to buy the prepaid meter doesn't mean millions of Nigeria can. Even the program that government has launched is highly doubtful people will still get these meters freely because of the dubious nature of this government

Tobokongs:
Lol

We don’t have issues with Tinubu, Atiku or Jonathan being the president.

What we against is any anïmal from the cannibalistic region becoming the president.

Nobody from that curśed tribe will be allowed to rule Nigeria

People from that region will produce presidents too and heaven will not fall. It is you and your generations to come that are caused and will never to anything useful in their own lives

Arobaga:
I wish this woman was from Rivers State



We for carry her matter for head



She’s too successful and making the Igbos proud



Congratulations to her and her people

Even if she's from Rivers state, she'll probably hail from Obigbo, Ndoki or Etche side, those Igbo speaking area and she'll probably still be embraced by Igbos as through and through. Thankfully, she identifies as true daughter of the Igbo society.

You must cynical to believe Tinubu will catapult Nigeria to a $1 trillion economy when our current GDP size is just a barely over $250billion. Even GEJ's administration in which Nigeria attained the best economic performance managed to reach a height of over $500billion. Purchasing power has been completely wiped out under this administration and you are projecting a $1trillion dollar economy, on which indices is that?

Inconsequential reduction. Still doesn't change the fact that he's a greedy monopolist.
