I swear this is pure fraud on the part of Primero and LASG. How could you build a dedicated lane and hand it over to only one operator. During, Fashola's administration, such would never happen. This BRT scheme was designed to allow for multiple, licensed operators who would confirm to the standards set within. But as always our government must everly promote monopoly and "Crony Capitalism"

Wow!! this is one of the most beautiful housing estate i've ever seen just woww!!! . Superb quality at its finest

Let him face the charges, if he is clean he will come out unscathed.

You've been typing nonsense since the last post about this issue. It's about time you kept your thoughts to your head alone

sonofanarchy:
I don't Gerrit, it's okay for a black to hate a white but not okay for whites to hate blacks. Boyega should stop this stupid black man entitlement

I don't get it either. Yes! Nobody condones that tragic incidence but that doesn't mean we should stir up racial hatred against the white population. Two wrongs don't make a right

Omobada:
Grow up boy, channel your efforts towards your betterment. Stop wasting your time on hating those who have become somebody in life. No one attain greatness with that your mentality

Please don't waste your time with that complete looser, it's folks like him that give the impression that all my people are 'bile and haters' and intolerant of other enthic groups. Pay him no heed. He's part of the 'dumb', ignorant apostle of that scammer Nnamdi Kanu.

YeribanzavsAfon:
You people are the most tribalistic set of species in huma history, your hypocrisy wont work. Let you Adeshina be hanged if found guilty that's all, no one is defending him let him defend himself and his fellow Afonjas that he employed and filled AFDB with. To hell with you fuccking Yorubas, you called for Onyema's head just because America indicted him but now you are calling same America's credibility to question because they want to investigate your rogue Adeshina, you people are evil!!. Afonja you people think you can take your tinubu-like looting tendencies to AFDB. The guilty should face the music shikena.

To be honest, it's the Igbos that are actually more tribalistic in thoughts and reason. You might not agree with me, that's fine, I don't expect you to. But it's the truth
For the record, I'm Igbo too before you term me 'afonja' which is usually characteristics of you lots when people don't agree with your sentiments

OneCorner:
Don’t count we Igbos among
Ewu

You don't speak for the entire Igbos and certainly not for me. You can mobilize for Nnamdi Kanu

operationmoses:
Mobilize only Yoruba people and leave other people alone sabotour

speak for yourself!! not the "entire igbo people". because you certainly don't speak for me. ethnic jigoist

VaselineCrew:
Yet people will say Nigeria’s strength is its population.

How can your strength be an undereducated population?

Exactly!! I keep telling people that care to listen. Nigeria's population is a huge liability and the major reason for her stunted and lopsided growth. The population is largely uneducated and unskilled and even the skilled ones we have in our midst are on a steady migratory routes.
We need to enact laws that will slow down our explosive population

Buying real estate on a artificial island. You are a gambling with your investment and probably your life. Have Lagos completely exhausted her land resources??

oyatz:
Now let me explain clearly to you;

you can NOT win this game by playing the tribal card.




Insulting, cursing and abusing the other tribes will create a DIVISION and leads to a 'We Vs Them' scenerio.

Democracy is a game of numbers.
Most people will take sides and the side with the largest number of people will win and that side will NOT be your side.

It doesn't have to be the side that is more intelligent, hardworking or competent.

By constantly abusing the two other majority tribes, you are indirectly telling them to gang-up against you.

The Ijaws, the Ogonis, Efik, Idoma or Igala seems to understand this phenomenon better than you.

Let start to criticize Government actions and inactions based on the merits of the actions and start deemphasizing ethno-religious sentiments. . .It put you in disadvantaged positions more than your opponents.

Exactly what I try to explain to our Igbo brothers but they have refused to learn. They keep insulting other ethic groups without recourse and their actions have dire political consequences.
Their utterances here on nairaland and other forums has cost the Igbos a lot politically

[quote author= post=90015555]See how you are fighting for your tribe's man asking Africa leader to come together, if he was Igbo man, once you guys hear American is investigating him, the whole western media houses will carry the news like gala and blackmail him more without knowing his side, now you're asking for African leaders to unite because he's from your tribe Bunch of hypocritical beings [/quote]Stop being an arsehole

Noel19:
Bia nwanne, must you reply any fool?

Allow these lots to die in their misery

Because he hasn't seen the man on social media that's why he's talking jargons

The best reply is what Obiora himself quoted; Others are chasing fame while he is chasing money.

Nwanne, Igbo Amaka Jare!

The igbos are becoming too boastful over nothing and it's increasingly affecting our psyche. We are showing narcissistic behaviours and I wonder where those sort of traits came from
Whatever we've accomplished as people we should learn to remain humble and stop being unassumingly loud. It's becoming irritating

Sagay212:
Alaye na business him dey do. Him nor be your state governor. You don't even have money to for uber or taxify let alone flying on an airplane. He used United airline for business purpose. He knows you ipod miscreants can't afford to fly so he needs to promote his airline across all other regions. Go and tell dilector to start an airline for biafra.ud .

The worst is that the way these tribalist on nairaland rant ignorantly. That man does not give a Bleep if he's business partner is from Daura, Katina. So long as he is reliable, that's all that matters in business. They don't see enthicity when doing business. All those e-tribalist on nairaland, this igbo man won't pay you a dime for being a 'tribal' champion

[quote author= post=89997208]We are chasing money while some people are chasing fame

Dr Obiora Okonkwo[/quote]I'm from Anambra State too actually from Adazi Nnukwu. I don't know this guy from any or the type of work he's done before. This is looking like a scam network. I wonder why our people don't like to grow organically.
All of a sudden, this man just emerged from no where with a fleet of airbus, how?

Because one celebrity in US called one Nigerian artiste name, how's that news to millions of Nigerians??

vertueptime:
The black man sef na amebo, how wil you just go to d park and start videoing some one, anyone will feel threatened

How will someone go about and start recording people that's invasion of privacy if you ask me.

Why must everything been seen from the point of racism

Sanromeo:
When does brown roofs now translate to poverty? The East where there's no brown roofs, we see how they sell their birth rights for few litres of kerosene and a plate of Fufu. We don't do that here.

Please I'm from the east too. Please don't reply that fool anymore. He's a troll. It's people like him that give the impression that igbos are a hateful lots, which isn't true

You can never silence an Igboman.

Don't start the tribal bullshit

rentAcock:
Wonderful. This gunboat will allow us to project our naval strength across the Atlantic. This gunboat solidifies our place as the greatest naval power in sub saharan Africa. I believe this is only a start, in the coming years, we will have our locally built nuclear powered submarines and aircraft carriers. No one will bully us, we are a force to reckon with.

which yeye naval strength?? Don't let South Africans and Egyptians read this your funny comment, they'll laughing at us. You can only flex muscle with Benin Republican, that's all

NGpatriot:
Hi
If you are going to ask and challenge what I said, why not just show us the global brands like Dominos, KFC, Stone Cold creamery anywhere in the SE village.

In fact, I said global brand, meaning popular international brands, not local make shit eateries like crunches or whatever you call it.


Btw, international brands are investors, they create jobs and generate IGR for the government, they support local economies and recycle money all the way down to farmers, vendors, transporters and so on. They source most of their raw materials here in Nigeria.

KFC source their chicken from the largest poultry farm in Osun state, meaning their activities support growth and development in Osun state, they create jobs and IGR in Osun state.

Governments all over the world stage trade summits and go on trade trips to have foreign investors invest and create jobs in their country, but to shallow people in Nigeria, it's a bad idea because they send money back to their country.

And you wonder why the SE is so poor and void of credible investments.

At the bolded, who told you that those local brands we have don't also support the local economy the way the international brands does.
Look, I'll rather have the locals doing stuffs like this than international investors. That's why the FG will always encourage by giving them tax holidays and other benefits in order to enable them to grow.
Because you aren't well traveled, you think it's only your father's backyard is where fruit trees grow, you better learn to visit and get exposure...

NGpatriot:
Their governors are still preoccupied with wheelbarrow, borehole and roadside kerosene sharing.

SE is unproductive, there's nothing in that region to attract any meaningful investment and you'll never see brands like KFC, Dominos, Stone cold creamery anywhere in the SE, but they are all over the SW.

The SE is poor, the purchasing power is little or nothing, the business environment is too unfriendly, too hostile and not even enough educated manpoer to sustain meaningful business activities.

why do you mumble false claims, who told you they aren't in the eastern region? we do have our own local homegrown fast food companies like crunchies, eggle springing up within the region. that should tell you that the local economy is burgeoning and alive. All those brands you mentioned are foreign brands, all their profits will be repatriated to their homeland. but that's not the case here, at least their profits will be used to further expand their operations...

mystery22:
afonja,ibadan-express way,always bringing stats from the head of there victims in Ogun skull mining headquarter,afonja republic will become another dirty Benin republic where you brothers live...

see! enough of these baseless tantrums. it's you guys that are causing trouble for igbos over here. Your annoying remarks makes them feel unsafe and unwelcomed... this is primarily the major reason we are fast loosing relevance politically.

Oshigun:
This is a sentimental statement and not a factual one. Igbo are economic saboteurs with their system of trading, retail shop ownership and apprentice structure they deliberately use to make money that will almost 100% be funneled back to Ala Igbo without attendant benefits to host Countries, States and region where they make that money in the form of tax or developmental levies etal.

Look at the filth Ladipo was before Fashola got really mad with Igbos and their neglectful ways. A place generating billions for Igbos yet they cannot throw a bit of change to ensure the environment is cleans, canals dredged and pollution kept to a minimal. This is because Igbos only love using others to feather their nest. They don't care about their host and their geographical/financial wellbeing.

A lot of innocent Nigerians suffered because of the retail trade war Ghana enacted against Nigerians when it was Igbos who are the sole culprit of sharp trading practices Ghana could not condone.

Some of us defended Nigeria nonetheless even when we knew the details to understand that the anger of Ghana stems from the reality of how Igbos set up shop in Ghanaian markets, robbing Ghanaians of market presence, while paying no tax to the government of Ghana!!! Igbos were making Ghanaians unemployed yet expected tax remittance that would alleviate that negative economic development were conspicuously missing.

How is that acceptable to any fair-minded person? It is the same practice everywhere Igbos go. Igbos take an extremely clannish and hostile approach to trading designed to see them and their kinsmen profit while others who facilitate their trade gain little or nothing in return via employment (Igbos don't employ non-Igbos) or payment of taxes, developmental levies etc.

Anyone who think Igbo retailers and traders, the bulk and majority of their business presence in the SW, pay appreciable tax on their profit is a m0r0n.

if the igbo traders don't pay tax as alluded by you then why do i see LIRS Tax outlets in every major markets where the igbos are dominant?. Even the local government goes to collect their taxes from them every month. you see your blind hatred to the them won't change the fact that they are a significant contributor to the economy of Lagos State, that doesn't mean other ethnic groups aren't doing nothing.
You better learn to "accomodate" as you claim. if you can't help it, you can exit Lagos and relocate to Ekiti...

codemaniacs:
ajl this comment is in reply to oshigun ( i have read your reply to oshigun where you called him "Very shallow statements. Typical tribalist" )..

Notice the part I put in bold in winterfell007 comment...

It took me years to understand and accept it but this is the truth.. but people will support and fund politicians, bizmen, gangsters e.t.c that support their interests and welfare at the detriments of the indigenes ( in this case Yoruba ). so Yorubas that aren't protectionist and tribalist will lose to non-Yorubas that are protectionist and tribalist in Yoruba territories.

from your comment to Oshigun, its proof that you're not Yoruba, no sane Yoruba person will call another Yoruba person a tribalist ...

stop hiding behind the " my used to sell in Balogun market area" lie that's rubbish..

What your point exactly?? The truth is that Lagos is the success story of everybody who works or carrys out one activity or another.
You cannot attribute the success of Lagos to any one enthic group, that's actually where I fault my people for the being that naive to think the success of Lagos is hinged on their industrious nature.
At the same, I must commend their resilience in thriving in homelands that aren't native or indigenous to them. It speaks volumes..

Oshigun:
People who work with facts, either because they love Lagos and desire her progress or because their profession encourages them to alway recognize proven statistics, Will know that the Igbos are not assets to Lagos. At all. They are mainly saboteurs. It is only their business leaders like Ovia, Elumelu etal who contribute substantially to the IGR of Lagos.

Meanwhile the contribution of those people is dwarfed by that of their Yoruba peers who are far more in number.

Overall, only the Igbos themselves and uninformed Yorubas think Igbos are as important to Lagos as they claim.

They actually benefit more from Lagos than they give back which makes them an economic deficit to the State rather than an asset.

This is why I encourage and will continue to encourage them daily to leave Lagos and see if the State "crashes" as they threaten will happen if they depart back to Ala Igbo.

I can agree that my people at times might be sentimental and somewhat boastful in a rather annoying way but you can't tell me they are not a significant contributor to GDP of Lagos state that would be a big fat lie. SME industry is the engine room of any fledgling economy and this is an industry the igbos are very active on and thrive so well, hence, I guess that's why they make so much noise about it.
Secondly, you cannot term the igbos 'Saboteurs' because they don't like Tinubu(ojukokoro) and or APC. They have every right to support any registered political party of their choice that will promote their interests and welfare so long as the contribute their quota toward development like taxes and levy which I'm very sure they pay in all those thriving markets you term '2 by 2'. It is part of the political process, nothing wrong with that...

It can only be Biafra, they are the only people that can rise with this kind of speed. I am really afraid of their momentum.

This is in Nigeria. Your Biafra will forever be a pipe dream. You'll always to be in Nigeria probably might recite the national anthem

LadyGCrueDKilaB:
why are u jealous ni? can any of your leaders match him in intellect and wisdom? go one sit down on a brown roof abeg

It's quite disheartening that folks like you are the reason the igbos have lost out politically. The worst reality is that Biafra is always be a pipe dream and we igbos can't attain the highest office in the land. We lost both ways, what a great loss on our part...

Kekereekun123:
Only morons follow this guy. 98% of ipob are morons

Please delete that rude and unreasonable comments. It makes you appear ridiculous. There are good number of igbos that aren't fooled by Kanu's rhetorics and propaganda.

helinues:


And this is a leader of millions of people including professionals, scholars .

Chei.... there is God oooo

He's not my leader and definitely not a leader to the millions of 'reasonable' igbos who sees through his lies. I personally see him as a leader of a 'hate group' no different from 'Kux Kla Klans' of America
