For me, it is an indictment for nonperformance that he had to be replaced with another minister
Add to that, Lagos where he has lived all his Nigerian life, does not want him to represent them any longer
Why not move back to his former job? Or has that one eluded him too
Ngozi left during her first outing and went back to her job
Why would Aganga, a so-called MD of a strong financial institution, take shyyte from GEJ and from Lagos indigenes?
I would not stay back if meted with such shabby treatment. My 2cents.

emofine:
Edo
Nasarawa
Kaduna
Kano

I would love to visit the remaining 32 states and I would love to re-visit those 4 I have listed as well 

Nigeria cannot split up until I have completed my marathon oooo 

Nasarawa sounds interesting what up there to visit? One of those states rarely talked about.

This thread is not about been-to as in waka pass or inside-the-bus-and-train-kind-of-been-to.
I mean lived in, and felt the environment for at least one year
I did not include NYSC time because it is sort of forced living.

So basically, apart from where you were born, where have you taken the personal ''risk'' to live in (study and work) in Nigeria?

This Eko Ile is a big fool. Everyone knows Onitsha is dirty and I even said Anambra is the 4th or so dirtiest state, all due to Onitsha
What was your point again about Onitsha? It still does not negate the fact that Lagos is the dirtiest. Why not post photos of Boundary (Ajegunle) Makoko, Orile, Agege and Oshodi markets amongst others?

Dis Guy:
kidnapping and a bit of militancy  

Better than sitting at home, cursing your Cabbie brother in New York!

Or motor park touting and killing 20 passengers or innocent bystanders every other day?
Or begging for alms - aka southern almajiris.

Ogonis  (Khana/Gokana/Tai) have respect for people outside their own ethnic group. For that, I salute them.

Do we have tribes in Nigeria?

Da Doctor:
Geologically this is very correct,
Let he who has ears hear what the studies say!!!

I no fit shout o!

lol

No be Osun again? What did you expect?

^^^^^

R_baby:
osun state

Is this (upper photo) a model of how clean Osun will look in 2099?
We are talking of current reality, dude.

Odunnu:
Is the question about what states you've been to or where you've lived/stayed at least a year?

Lived in, one year +

hercules07:
All SE except Ebonyi ( do you pass through ebonyi when going from Uturu to Enugu?) Met wify in Owerri.
All SS
All NC
All SW
NE ( Been to Gombe, Bauchi, Borno)
NW (Kaduna)
Hope that covers it sha, will love to visit Taraba and Adamawa

Hm!!! Those Owerri babes. Da Bomb

sparko1:
Lagos is number on in neatness looking from the fact that its the most populated state in all and looking at the land space very small for such a huge population, if say no let take the population of lagos and put it wherever you call neatest for one week and let's see if it will not be the dirtest in the world.

The money generated from the huge population is enough to keep it clean, but no.

Is Calabar a state?

A few years back Imo consistently ranked as the neatest state in Nigeria. Now I guess it is no more the neatest, but still one of the neatest.

kabukabu50:
Cleanest states by far are Delta,Edo,Cross Rivers, thats it.
Lagos is filthy everywhere except for parts of Island,oh and it reeks of muck everywhere .

Which Delta?

Only Asaba and the parts of Warri where Oyinbo live are okay
Warri town is very filthy
Those riverine areas are full of water, water shi.t

Taraba has one of the most natural and attractive sceneries in Nigeria
It can compete well with Cross River for that. Next is Adamawa, Enugu, Benin and Ondo (in parts).

See Taraba/Adamawa in its natural glory

Benin used to be one floody dirty city where shi.t floats commonly on water on Lagos Uselu road and Sapele/Warri/PH road when it rains (I have been there more than 10 times). But I agree that Oshiomhole may have changed things now.

E.nosa:
when last did u visit benin?

But the outskirts of Benin city towards NIFOR has one of the most beautiful sceneries in natural Nigeria
Edo villages are funny too, so scantily populated, but with heavy forests.

fxtopedia:
Since you have no info about north, I laugh at your list!

Why don t you make your own list or you have only been to your village?

Negro_Ntns:
In fact, I don't know now but, Nsukka was the only Uni at the time that offered dual degree in Physics and Astronomy.

Still the only one in the entire Africa (for Astronomy)

For me:

The entire SE (all 5 states)
The entire SS (all 6 states)
The Entire SW (all 6 states)
Abuja
Kano
Kaduna
Jigawa
Benue

Will like to visit:
Taraba and Adamawa

When Boko Haram allows

For me:
Abia (longest)
Lagos (fourth)
Oyo (second longest)
Imo (Fifth)
Rivers (Third longest)
Enugu (Sixth)
Anambra (Seventh)

Egift, what is the cost of land in Enugu? Preferably somewhere along Enugu-PH road not more than 10 KM from city centre
OR
Along Enugu Nsukka Road?

Thanks

Negro Ntns you are a bloody hypocrite
What was your reaction when Lagos passed the law that Yoruba should be in official language in the house?

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-98989.32.html

mbulela:
In my view, I will go for cities;
Calabar - is the cleanest.
Dirtiest - Lagos followed closely by Aba.

You need to be in Ibadan. That is # 1 in dirtiness.

Neatest states
Cross River
Enugu
Imo

Dirtiest states
Oyo (every where). The dirtiest state in all ramifications
Lagos (everywhere else but VI, Ikoyi, Lekki and parts of Ikeja)
Abia (due to Aba)
Anambra (due to Onitsha)
Ogun (Abeokuta is crappy and dirty)
Rivers (PH and all those s.h.it-infested waterfronts)

Dont know about the North in terms of dirtiness, but with beggars likely going to litter the cities in millions and drop their dirt all over the damn place, so many northern states will be dirty too.

seanet02:
Jobless ibo man

I did tell you a few days ago that you will lose. Sorry, cry more for me. We may not be in charge at Aso Rock, but we are in charge in what matters most to the people: economy, power, health. labour. Hhahahah!

Oyo Assembly moves to check flooding

By Oladele Ogunsola Correspondent, Ibadan

Oyo State House of Assembly on Tuesday mandated the Ministry of Environment and Water Resources to conduct census of rivers and streams in the state to determine their levels of flooding threat to the residents.

This was with a view to seeking Federal government’s assistance in tackling the menace of flooding that seems perennial, especially in Ibadan, the state capital.

The directive was part of recommendations by members of the House Committee, which visited flooded areas in Ibadan after penultimate Sunday’s heavy downpour that claimed at least five lives and property.

Majority Leader,’ Kunle Oyeniran representing Oluyole State Constituency read the committee’s report which Adeniyi Michael Adeyemo (Ibarapa East) moved motion for its adoption.

Kehinde Subair (Ibadan South-West) in seconding the motion, explained that the committee had visited affected places including Ogbere and Foworogi bridges on Muslim/Egbeda Tuba Road, Ariyo bridges on Olorunsogo/Akanran road, Babanla bridge on Oremeji Agugu Airport road, Agugu bridge on Ode-Aje Agugu road, among others.

He said committee members discovered how people have been constructing buildings to obstruct free flow of water; structural defects of some of the bridges and roads, heavy pressure on both the roads and the bridges due to population growth which led to increase in the number of users of such bridges and roads as well as dumping of refuse on the waterways which in turn, have been affecting water passage. The committee subsequently recommended immediate rehabilitation of the identified roads and bridges damaged by the flood and provision of modern refuse dump for residents.

It also recommended that “the Ministry of Environment and Water Resources should commence without further delay, census of all notorious rivers and streams that had been giving residents sleepless nights, throughout the state with a view to drawing the attention of relevant Federal Government Agencies to their menace”.

It would be recalled that a ceaseless evening downpour penultimate Sunday in Ibadan left no fewer than three people dead and scores of property damaged.

‘Two million Lagosians risk being submerged by Atlantic ocean’
By Olalekan Adetayo with agency report
Wednesday, 6 Jul 2011


The Acting Director-General of the Nigerian Institute of Social and Economic Research, Ibadan, Prof. Femi Olokesusi, on Tuesday warned that two million Lagos residents risked being submerged by the Atlantic ocean.

Olokesusi said this in Ibadan while presenting a paper entitled, ‘Lagos: The Challenges and Opportunities of an emerging African mega city.’

The NISER chief said the catastrophe could only be stopped if proper environmental checks were carried out.

“As a coastal city, vulnerability will increase in intensity of storms and storm surges will exacerbate infrastructure problems,” he said at the July edition of the NISER seminar series.

Olokesusi, whose disclosure was from a UN-Habitat sponsored study which spanned five years of data collection (2005 to 2010), said flooding was among the major environmental problems which had persisted in Lagos in spite of government’s efforts.

He said while Lagos was gradually emerging as a mega city, there were still some challenges to be overcome before the city could claim the title.

On the challenges of environmental degradation and climate change, he said there was rapid land conversion in the city which had been taking place on more vulnerable land.

The land, he said, included flood-prone areas and coastal locations.

Olokesusi further said that the pre-historic ecology of the city had been tremendously modified and was now human-dominated.

Apart from this, he said pollution was a menace, adding that there was the urgent need to control this through the application of proper technologies.

“The second dimension is that of acquiring the technology and developing appropriate legal framework, institutions and human capacity to bring the pollutants to acceptable levels that conform to international standards,’’ Olokesusi said.
