that's my utmost goal on this earth. not just to take care of babies but everyone. Do u have anywhere where I can volunteer? it will be my joy to do so.

You can go to motherless babies home and adopt abandoned children.
Better still, you can build a charity home for ladies to drop babies they gave birth to but don't want.

nura15:
What rubbish is this now? What nonsense will we not see in this rubbish country.
Imagine a local vigilante arresting a Police officer in a hotel where he went to have his private time and privacy.

This people should stop this madness, as no region has a monopoly of madness.

The greatest irony is that these laws are meant for their poor masses, not the elites.

What of their politicians that carry four small girls to hotel, will they cough one bit? Never

If they feel they want to implement their Sharia law, let us all divide and every region to your tent, so that nobody will be bordered about what the others are doing.

I have said it, the proponents of Sharia and full Islamic tenets should push for and Islamic country, where Shari and Islam will be implemented 100% without interference.

Ever since Buhari took over power, the proponents of Islam and Sharia are firing from all angles. From the CJN now to this Hisbolah vigilante.


In this 21st century where people are discussing how to settle in Mars, look at the things we are prioritising.

Lord Lugard just merged Progress and backwardness, and the resultant effect is stagnation which is equal to Nigeria.
WHY SHOUTING? WAS HE ARRESTED IN ENUGU OR DELTA? WE HAVE RULES & IF YOU MUST LIVE IN OUR STATES YOU MUST ABIDE BY THEM.HAVE EVER SEEN A HISBAH OFFICER ARRESTING AN ADULTERER IN IMO? SO, STOP INTERFERING IN WHAT DOESN'T CONCERN.IF YOU THINK FUCKING AROUND IS A SELF ENJOYMENT KEEP ENJOYING YOURSELF IN YOUR OWN AREA.STAY AWAY FROM ISSUES THAT CONCER NORTH.

I have never been a proponent of separation, but if the northerners want to implement religious laws that will bar me from moving and living freely on their lands, then the very basis of a staying together needs to be reassessed. The igbos that want secession has never implemented any law that restricts anyone from living on their lands. Their reasons are marginalisation and unfair distribution of resources.
The Islamic north cannot have their cake and eat it. They don't want me to eat pork, drink bear, enter Keke with my girl friend or sister on their lands, but want to roam freely in my land with their cows eating our crops, and sleeping on our lands without paying rent.
It just can't continue like this forever. We will very soon have serious conflict and reactions.

Dollarseeker:
u can say whatever u want to say. on no account must abortion be encouraged... it is murder.

Then volunteer to take all babies born as a result of rape, if the mothers don't want them. That way I will know you care about humanity that religious rightness.

26,000 babies in a day, that's 9,490,000 babies in a year. We dey fùck o. That's the population of many countries of the world.
We need to do something about our population explosion. Maybe we should adopt a one child policy. That will not work as most people still believe children are gifts from God.

Seriously talking, we should be taking sex education and contraceptives more seriously.

Dollarseeker:
the bible says by their fruit you shall know them.

just imagine if the so called pastors who are ritualist were not caught they would have become big pastors in 10 yrs to come with large numbers of followers who can die for them, preaching whatever they like. Just in the last 3 months they caught more than 5 ritualist pastors who would have become popular and own private jets if they were not caught.

Though shall not kill. the unborn babies, the bible says even the numbers of hairs on their head is known by God. Abortion is wrong and should never be encouraged in all ramifications.

You have it. BY THEIR FRUIT YOU SHALL KNOW THEM.

So a woman should be forced to give birth and nurture the child of a rapist?

If she does, it's still you religious hypocrites that will call the child bastard and will refuse to marry the lady or allow any of your family to marry her, because she is not a virgin.

NaMeAboki:
I am dumbfounded by the level of intolerance, ignorance, stupidity and hypocrisy being advertised by many of the Christian respondents in this thread:

It's you people that are intolerant, ignorant, stupid and hypocritical. How else do you impose your religious belief on others who are not muslims in a secular country.

Who told you that the respondents are all Christians, there are other religions in Nigeria outside Christianity and Islam. Some people do not profess any religion at all, like the owner of this site.

- Intolerance because many are inexplicably hostile to the rights of Muslims to sharia - a law which for almost all intents and purposes does not concern them at all.

Who is hostile to your rights of Muslims to practice sharia? It's you people that wants to impose sharia on non muslims. If you practice sharia in your homes, communities or even states, what's my concern, as long as it applies to only muslims. it's when you bring it to my house, business or private space that I will react.

- Ignorance because most still believe that Sharia is unconstitutional and therefore operating outside the law.

It is unconstitutional to impose sharia on non muslims. The Constitution guarantees freedom of movement and religion. If guarantees my right to eat pork, drink beer, fvck any woman ( as long as she consents ) any where within Nigeria, as long as it's in the privacy of my own home or private space, and I do not do it in your private space.

Now if you don't want a Republic where pork and beer is not allowed, then start agitating peacefully (like IPOB ) for an Islamic Republic. If I want to come to zamfara, I will have to apply for visa. It's against natural justice for my taxes and resources to be shared in a state, I am not accorded my freedom of movement and religion.

OgunLaakaye:
No, when did 2 or 3some become a norm

Hello.. You have diversed from culture without knowing. It transits from forbidden to a norm.

Mini skirt was an abomination once that even the society frowned at. Now, going to a party with bra is a norm.

Trust me Africa will legalise gay and lesbianism. It's just a matter of time.

Are you saying it's not a norm to marry 2 or 3 wives. Will it be an abomination to have a party with your 2 wives. I have read a man marry a set of twins and they all sleep on the same bed.

OgunLaakaye:
Hello! It's not norm and insane. This act was imported and it needs to be checkmated.

What do you mean that it's not the norm and insane? Are you insinuating that prostitution and extra marital sex is not the norm? Look prostitution and extra marital sex is as old as humanity itself.

Like I said earlier, if nothing should concern me then lesbianism, Gay and controlled Marijuana should be legalised and we completely remove the checkmate.

Please explain how lesbianism, Gay and controlled Marijuana concern you? lesbians and gays carry out their acts in the privacy of their homes. If they should do it in public, they constitute public nuisance and should be arrested (same with heterosexuals too).

Although I don't support legalisation of marijuana, due to its negative effect on public health, (just like cigarettes, but if the public opinion and government favours legalising it, what's my business?

It's just logical to know something's are not normal. You need not anybody to tell you.

What's abnormal to you might be perfectly normal to another person. It's a matter of perspective.

Why are tramadol users arrested, afteral, it's nobody's business since it's not going into their system

Tramadol also constitute public health concerns, it was not banned on moral or religious basis. It could be unbanned tomorrow if new data shows it is not constituting public health concerns.

OgunLaakaye:
Hello, I am not a religious person but what's wrong is wrong. The act I detest. So much westernization getting into Africa and we just buying and consuming it. Their should be a check. Religiously or constitutionally.

If you are not a religious person, on what basis are you condemning what 2 or 3 consenting adults do in the privacy of their homes (or hotel rooms)?

BlackPantherCri:
It covers the state.

It is like a Christian going to Saudi Arabia and saying that the laws of Saudi will not apply to the person. Nope, it does

Wrong analogy.
Saudi Arabia is a sovereign country. Zamfara is a state within Nigeria subject to the Nigerian constitution, and the Nigerian constitution guarantees freedom of movement and religion.

Within Nigeria, sharia does not apply to non muslims. If you don't want non muslims in your state, demand a sovereign country where you can impose Islamic laws like Saudi Arabia.

EzeIgbo1:
God bless you bro

Here are a list of countries in Africa who pegged their currency value to the euro even before the eco fully emerges

Benin
Burkina Faso
Guinea-Bissau
Ivory Coast
Mali
Niger
Senegal
Togo
Cameroon
Central African Republic
Chad
Republic of the Congo
Equatorial Guinea
Gabon

Notice they are all French speaking countries and former french colonies?
The euro is pegged to the economies of the strongest countries in Europe and these are Germany which is the fourth strongest economy in the world with an economy worth $3.4 trillion, followed by the United Kingdom with an economy worth $2.9 trillion. France is third on the list with $2.4 trillion.

Do you see the power play france is trying to play by leveraging off and leeching off these African countries?

Germany narrowly avoided recession in 2018 and if they had hit recession the value of the euro would sharply drop. If the eco is tied to the euro it too would suffer badly.

In essence herein is the slavery and recolonization part. These African countries cannot function independently and outside the limits they have been placed. They cannot make economic decisions on their own. So they are tied at the hip to France, Germany and UK.

Now if UK pulls out of EU which is expected to happen then the euro would be hard hit because $2.9 trillion support just got removed from EU and the eco would be hard hit.

I am not bothered about China and the Yuan. I would rather have Nigeria fully align with China. 2 most populous nations in the world (China most populous in the world and nigeria most populous in Africa) would make for a behemoth of an economy in trade terms.

The eco is not a good idea at this time and i am so glad Nigeria is not enthusiastic towards joining

The west is saturated now so all focus is on Africa and the quest to dominate her. Nigeria is a problem to those who wish to dominate Africa so they want to do everything to cut us down to size and this explains a lot about how Boko haram gets weapons and this move by france.

USA, FRANCE, UK all have military bases in various locations in Africa and for what? Arms Proliferation. They are the ones getting these arms to these terrorists but they turn around and act as if they are helping you fight them. Forked tongue nations.

You head dey there. You be real eze.
Me too I would prefer we align with China. Aligning with the west had not benefitted us. It is more of a parasitic relationship.

BlackPantherCri:
According to Sharia law that functions in that state, he has committed and atrocity

But the person in question might not be a Muslim, and sharia should not apply to him.

shineeye1:
You have forgotten that someone owns this earth and that you are a tenant who must abide by certain rules.
All God haters and the lawless are united in one desire to live without rules.
It is that desire that God has satisfied by creating a place where everything goes and nothing is restrained. You and your fellow travellers will be ushered into HELL where you will live forever - WITHOUT RULES

It is impossible for you to comprehend, but not everyone believes in your God. Some people even believe in worship of Satan. Will you kill another person because he worships Satan?

You might follow one religious book that says the earth was created by christ and that you are tenants who must abide Christ's rules, another person might follow a book that says krishna is supreme and everyone must live by krishna's rules. There are about 5 major religions and over 200 minor ones. Satanism is a religion.
The main problem of the world that has caused numerous conflicts throughout history is when one set of people war and kill to impose their religious book on others.

Not everybody is interested in going to heaven, and some people want to go to hell. Are you going to force them to want to go to your heaven?

shineeye1:
If you had not lost your life compass, you would know that morality is what separates humans from lower beasts.

If you have life compass and more important things to do, you would not be killing yourself over what separate other humans ( you do not even know ) from lower beasts.

shineeye1:
A child who bears no resemblance with its parent is most likely a bastard. Your permissiveness of immorality bears no connection to our traditions and african culture neither does if have a place with our religions. I can only see you as an African Bastard.

I still ask, how is that your problem? You want to jihad to force people to conform to your African culture and tradition?

shineeye1:
I make bold to say, even though I am not a Muslim, that if not for Islam, Nigeria would long have become Sodom and Gomorrah. The "Christians" of Nigeria are a corrupt , inept and rotten lot! The only problem with Islam are the fundamentalists and jihadists who propagate violence and terror. Islam is a far more godly religion than the so-called Christianity in Nigeria today.

And other christian, Buddhist or atheist dominated countries have become Sodom and Gomorrah? In fact their are far worse immorality, terrorism and abuses in Muslim dominated countries that other countries of the world.

When all you think about, live and die for is other people's morals, then you have no achievements of your own to live for.

shineeye1:
So because they are adults, then their immorality is excused? Well you are just the same and so it is OK by you.
You who resist God in everything and undermine his rules as laid done by our forefathers in all earlier generations will bear God's wrath in due time.

Is it your immorality? Moral laws are not civil laws. Moral laws apply for members of religious organisations, civil laws apply to all citizens of a country. If the Guy and manager of the hotel are not muslims, you have no right imposing Muslim laws on them.

What do you guys really want? Split the country so you can have your Boko Haram Republic, so you have impose whatever laws you want without affecting me, you guys say no. OK, abide by the Nigerian constitution that guarantees everyone freedom of movement and religion, you guys say no.
You guys want unnecessary conflict.

EzeIgbo1:
You have time to respond to that guy. I meet many like him here. All noise and no sense. All they do is sit in a corner and just wait to her NIGERIA then they start hyperventilating as if we stole their wife or girlfriend. If you listen closely to what they are even saying it is absolute nonsense. The never pause to fully grasp any situation before the begin vomiting senselessly.

He thinks France wishes them well. Ghanaians have been known to always learn the hard way and this will not be different.

I saw 2 Ghanaians the other day at circle and they were talking to each other and one said "I like Nigerians a lot, I like them because they are very intelligent unlike our people" and this is the truth many of them hate to hear.

Before stick go enter our eyes we dey see am but Ghana man dey only see food and drink and not danger

Even the ordinary citizens in francophone countries are beginning to see france as a trojan horse. It's their government officials that depends on France to remain in power that is keeping the countries in servitude to France.

Meanwhile this guy want to court France as an ally just to spite Nigeria.

Anti-French sentiment on the rise in West Africa as security situation deteriorates
Although France remains the only Western country with a significant military presence in the Sahel, France's relationship with its former African colonies has grown increasingly tense in recent months. This has led to an evident increase in anti-French sentiment.

"So that's when the conspiracy theories get going: Either they're there because of the supposed mineral riches in the north of Mali, or they think it's just a neocolonialist project to make sure that they remain part of France's backyard," he says.

Earlier this month, Macron responded to the rise in anti-French sentiment, urging G5 Sahel leaders to address the issue if they wanted France to continue its military operations against Islamist militants.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.dw.com/en/anti-french-sentiment-on-the-rise-in-west-africa-as-security-situation-deteriorates/a-51648107

See threat. Meaning; if people insists on Franch soldiers leaving their lands, France would allow Islamic militants over run their countries.

crash12345:
hahahahaha, you want to take advantage of we Ghanaians and outsmart us.Very funny.i can see you don't realise that Ghana is Nigeria's wildest nightmares in this world since independence especially when you underestimate our size.

Have you forgotten how your forefathers made huge investments in the 50s and 60s in Ghana owning majority of businesses and properties. Do you know what we did to them,we made them amass all their businesses and properties and enacted one law to deport all of them.That law is still around buh we have metaphorically quote it as GIPC laws which forbids foreigners from engaging in any business unless you have a capital of 500,000 to 1 million dollars.The party and government who did that sacking in 1969 is called the UP party and they have now changed their name to the NPP party and are now the current governing party.,Akuffo Addis father was the president then in 1969 whist Busia was the prime minister. Did you hear the president justifying GUTA sacking Nigerians this month at the meet the press buh he keeps laughing with Buhari together. Fear that old lawyer

Currently over 600 Nigerian shops are under lock and key in Circle alone and over 400 in Accra,Opera Square whilst hundreds are locked in Kumasi Suame.Listen to your friend who told you to be careful of Ghanaians cos we watch everything closely in our country. We collapsed over 12 banks since last year and Nigerian banks such as Energy Bank,First Atlantic Bank and others closed down.Glo is in comma in Ghana now buh we have not touched it yet.They were about to be closed for non payment of taxes.

Now let me tell you about this ECO.We will make sure Nigeria gets confused on whether to join or not to whilst we lobby for the Headquarters of the Central Bank to manage the ECO just as we did to win the bid to host the Africa Free Trade Agreement Headquarters so now Ghana is the capital of free Trade in Africa .

We are the second largest economy in ECOWAS in terms of population and GDP with 68 billion dollars GDP.By the time Nigeria realise the benefits of the ECO and wants to join later just as the Africa Free Trade Agreement, by then Ghana had already become the Headquarters of the ECO currency. Why do you you think we indicated in the letter that a Central bank of ECOWAS needs to be built first.

Cote d'Ivoire is our direct cousin and we share the same Akan majority ethnic group and their president is now the ECOWAS president so we will consult him so that we house the Central Bank. France will be our direct ally so as the USA is.Then Ghana takes over as the Regional leader in West Africa.Don't worry Nigeria can survive on it's own buh ECOWAS and Africa should be ours cos we are known as the black star of hope and glory of Africa .Forget our 30 million population.

I respects Ghanaians a lot in terms of intelligence. I hope most Ghanaians don't reason like you.

It seems you just envy and hate Nigeria and Nigerians for no reason whatsoever. Thank god Nigeria and Ghana still cooperate in lots of spheres. You are getting an orgasm because your government locked 1000 shops, what's 1000 shops to Nigeria. Small Ababa alone contains thousands of shops.

You want France as ally as against Nigeria? See how other "French allies" in Africa and other parts of the world are faring. Vietnam fought a bitter war against france and the US, to remove france from Vietnam.

See sensible Nigerians protesting France's destabilisation of West Africa. You people need to join us to push france out of West Africa.

Danwakae:
It's not a new issue ...lie to me that u have not heard about the ECO currency before all this notice ... It's part of the AFTCA trade deal and this is just implementation , this ECO currency will ease transactions because of the different currencies of countries involves...Those Nigerians rep are lazy and are Quackery

It's not about whether it's a new issue or not, it's about implementation. All The member states must discuss the terms and conditions of adopting the new currency. UK did not adopt the euro for reasons best known to it. A single block (francophone countries ) can't just sit and decide the terms and conditions of the new currency.

Danwakae:
You are off points


Read those two communique abi letter again

The Ghanaian response to me was silly. How can you take notice of a declaration made by the president of West African Economic and monetary union on a decision taken by 8 (francophone ) countries (in alliance with france), without your input, for such important issue as the country's currency, and you say you welcome the decision. That's stupidity.

Nigeria's response was more mature. It simply means we have to study the declaration to arrive at a decision.

Here is a group of mostly women led by princess Ajibola leading a protest to the French embassy in Abuja, accusing the French of sponsoring Boko Haram, and attempting to colonize Nigeria.

I am very proud of our women, they seem more aware of real threats from Europeans than we men, who are more interested in fighting for power and control of resources.

lucane:
We are a country that celebrates mediocrity and illegality.
Where in the world have you traveled to or watched on gotv/dstv and seen such structures/ shanties taking over the environmen, he next thing you bring in is tribalism and nepotism.
Na WA for you o.
Check your self

Like I said earlier you guys are highly ignorant. There are shanties beside many major cities in the world, even in Europe and the US. Most major African cities harbour shanties a few km away. Various governments are always destroying shanties only for them to remove emerge in another sport not so far away.

The first picture is an shanty settlement on an abandoned railway line called La Petite Ceinture in the French capital.

The second picture is a shanty is just a 15 minute drive from LA’s most famous landmark, the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Skid Row is now a stinking eyesore of tent cities and shantytowns housing 4200 people.

Sirjamo:
Akwa Ibom, Rivers and Delta are the top three States with the most unemployed youths in Nigeria because their leaders have been useless, greedy and stingy, but their people would never hold them responsible for anything, they'd rather be insulting Buhari and Fulani Muslims everyday from morning to night.

Why will the Niger delta hold their leaders responsible when Buhari is there? It's like holding yourself responsible for your crimes and sins when the devil is there.

They would say "afterall the money is our oil money" and no one has the right to question how they use it.

sulaak:
What has the NDDC done with all the funds at their disposal, why can't they repair the ports....nonsense.

This is what happens to NDDC funds;

Brigadier General CHARLES Nengite is renowned for his brilliance, one of the finest of them all, but he is presently cooling his heels in detention.

To those who knew him he was a very brilliant officer who was the best overall at the Army War College, USA three years ago. That was then. Between 2016 and 2019 he was seconded to the NDDC, Nigeria’s cesspool of corruption.

According to reports, he allegedly benefited from billions of Naira in contracts while there. Nsima Ekere the Niger Delta Minister as well as Nelson Brambaifa the NDDC boss ensured that he had more than enough. At the end of it all, he had accumulated so much that 11.million Dollars was discovered in his wife’s US account.

If the EFCC should as much as arrest NDDC officials and directors, our "it's our money crew" would crawl out of the woodworks.

And the konji will take you to hell. Do you want to go to hell for just a piece of flesh? Think about it.

Believe me if konji dey for hell, many people go prefer to go there. Many many people prefer konji if the only issue na burning heat. Afterall muslims dey blow themselves up because of promise of unlimited konji.

Lagosfinder:
Bariga, Oworo, Yaba and ajah down to ibeju
That's where they live

You have an idea of what a one room self contain cost in Bariga, Oworo, Yaba and ajah? Now factor in cost of transportation to and fro everyday. Meanwhile the average salary of these low income workers (drivers cooks, gardeners, nannies, etc) are between 20,000 to about N50, 000 per month, depending on if it is domestic job or office work.

Let me add, that each elite's household employ a fairly large number of low income domestic worker, like 2 gate men, 1 house boy/girl, at least 2 drivers (one for oga and one for the rest of the family), then sometimes gardener and cooks.
All these people need to like closely and might have families.

London was able solve the shanty problem by having a very effective transportation system. Most people sleeping on the streets are bums and not workers. Domestic workers can live 100 km away in a village and make it to work within 1 hour. Transportation costs are taken into consideration in the wages.
Besides, being a welfarist state, the government build many low cost housing estates or council flats for poor people, which are given out for almost free. The problem is the waiting period can be very long.

majamajic:
u don't know anything about this area , if u know u won't be saying such , those people that u are talking about they are serving are not happy those places around them , take that twinwater mall for example that's going into lekki from alternative route to come out from pinnacle filling station , that ocean view there , do u see the kind of oddur coming out from the Atlantic ocean there ? they do Cross over to that beach and shit there , do u ever think if any fracas came up , can the police overcome them easily ?

if u live in lekki and need a cleaner or house maid , must u pick someone living in Shanti area ? if u are riding okada and Keke must u live at the place in are serving , mind u Uber and taxify guys do come all the way from mainland to come work in lekki and go back.

the insecurities alone , govt did a good job by pushing them back , they didn't deport them , they pushed them back , it's development once development comes , people do suffer from it , but it's a good thing !!


u can't come and occupy a land that government can make billion from illegally , think if your family own those lands , u won't be happy about it too , if am around lekki I normally go there to wash my car cos it's cheaper ( N500 ) inside lekki is 1500, so I normally use the opportunity to go inside , in a naked mid working day u need see the activities going on there .

The problem with us Africans is that we are very narrow minded and tend to look at issues from only our tunnel vision perspective.

I lived in V/I (bar beach towers) for 20 years and I lived in main Ikoyi for 8 years. So I have wider perspectives from both sides.

Yes, all you said is valid from the perspective of the elite, but what of the perspective of the low income workers or services provider struggling to survive. Basic human instinct is survival and would risk everything and defy all odds to get to where he feels his chances of survival are better. People still cross the Sahara desert and Mediterranean Sea, despite the chances of surviving the journey being very slim.

I am an architect and in one of my courses called urban planing, it clearly taught me that if you fail to plan for low income housing when planing your urban cities, shanties and squatter settlements will naturally develop. This problem is not unique to Nigeria or Africa. Even France and USA battle with squatter settlements issues. The rich elites often don't like seeing or associating with poor people, except for exploitation. The failure of the ruling elites to make provisions for the poor people always come back and hunt them.

I left V/I about 15 years ago and I hardly go there. I went to visit a friend at Muri Okunola last week and I was appalled by the state of the roads. The traffic was horrendous and the roads were terrible. Muri Okunola itself was impassable.

I am sorry to say, but with all the allocations going to Lagos and the high IGR, the infrastructures is nothing to write about in terms of maintenance. Yes, I know other states even fare worse than Lagos, it still does not exonerate Lagos State governments.

I am one of those that believes the pressure on Lagos is too much, hosting the 2 major sea ports in the country, hosting the most important international airport and now planing on hosting the biggest refinery in Africa and a free trade zone, in such a tiny state? We go soon dey climb on top each other.

Anyway the main problem of Lagos is urban planing. There seem to be non whatsoever by the various governments

majamajic:
I was in that area last week , what u said is what is happening there


u see some park their Keke and okada , only to be using it at night, in the day they will be drinking and playing gambling

though some of them are doing legal jobs. but it's a good move by the government. it will unseat most of them , development affects people , at least them themselves knew a day like this will come .

You people have refused to answer the basic fundamental question;
Where will low income people serving and servicing the high brow V/I, Lekki and Ikoyi axis live?

baby124:
Lol. Low cost housing is a subsidy. You brought up the low cost housing idea. Why are you dancing around like a snake and trying to deny it’s not a welfare initiative? Is it because I said that should be reserved for indigenes? You talk of concepts you are clueless about. When I correct you, you say I am young LMAO. I am sure that in life I have more experience than you in every way. If you do not know that low cost housing is a welfare initiative and should not exist in your capitalist utopia, then you are very young and highly inexperienced. I have an empire to build. I am done here.

You post betrays your naivety and lack of experience. It is only naive people that blame outsiders for their failings, this is what caused xenophobia.

I am an architect and I will school you on all low cost housing projects done by previous Lagos administration.

A good example is the Odogunyan low cost housing project by the Tinubu administration. Tinubu completed the project in 1992 and sold each 3 bedroom flat for N500,000 each. There are about 500 flats. The various bank - Union Bank, Wema Bank and one other bank I can't remember now, bought the flats in bulk and sold to individuals at N2,000,000. The people that bought from the banks sold at between 3 to 4 million.
That is what will happen if Lagos sell at subsidised prices to indigenes. It people that have the money (indigenes or non indigenes ) that will eventually buy it.

Besides, the APC Lagos State government is ultra capitalist. They no send where money dey come from. Thank god dey no send indigene or non indigene. They are ready to toll the air you breath if it's possible. The road that Jakande build, they toll it. The road that marwa build, they expanded it and concessioned it. The bridge they build, they toll it. You think the APC government would subsidise houses?

baby124:
What is Low cost housing if not a welfare initiative? Yes, sell to indigenes... let everybody else pay full price. It’s done abroad too. American Indians have wonderful privileges.

This is why I think you are young and inexperienced. Subsidising houses will defeat the very purpose of building the low cost housing in the first place. Subsidy had failed every single time, because it breeds corruption. The law of demand and supply always triumph.

If the houses are sold at subsidised prices to "omoniles", the omoniles would simply buy the houses and resell to the non indigenes at 3, 4 or even 5 times the price they bought it.

This often happens to lands and properties inherited by indigenes, the children most times sell the inherited properties to non indigenes.

baby124:
Yes. It should be sold to indigenes and their welfare should be priority. I don’t hate anybody, but we are not responsible for everybody. Period.

And how will that work? Refuse selling to non indigenes and foreigners that bring their cash? Is that not tribal and racial discrimination as an official government policy?

What do you mean welfare? Are we in a welfarist or socialist state?
