Says an ant to an Antelope!

Question is, does the Antelope worry about the ant's rants?

bashr8: igbo or not give me one reason any sensible non indegene should vote ACN again in lagos after this statement, it seems acn is heading back to the era of tribalism, its a shame, thats why PDP remains the only political party in nigeria.if everybody go back to their village (including foreigners) you think lagos will still be relevant?

PointB: [size=28pt]IGBOS SHOULD NOT VOTE ACN IN 2015. I CAN'T SAY THIS LOUD ENOUGH![/size]

kingsceemark: SON of thousand fathers, stup1d son of skin bleacher. Jobless 1diot, son of fat smelling azz. Who get time 4 dat monkey looking criminal who called himself FASHOLA? his days are numbered.

geeez:

You don't know how many Igbos I employ as security men, dispatch riders and drivers in Lagos and Abuja do you?

The few ones I've employed as full staff have been fraudulent except one that more or less grew up in the SW and was exposed to decent values early in life

I dare your loud mouthed race to make that dirty claim that you own Lagos in public or let your chief declare himself a first class traditional ruler if you truly own the land. Still waiting for that day. Slowly and steadily, we will show you the way to Onitsha and Nnewi because as it is you have become an embarrassment to an enterprising and progressive Yoruba land. The ones that claim to do 'genuine' business (which is largely trading) cut corners while the others are robbers, prostitutes, fraudsters, rapists, kidnappers and murderers

samkoro:

U think like a 14th century nationalist.You will hope and go to ur grave,and no government will dash you another mans property.Why not mind your business instead of hoping to train ur kid with another mans property.Shameless gayy pig.

afam4eva: Fashola should seek an alternative way of passing across a message rather than sounding like a bigoted dictator. I think this is an insult and the FG should take up this case. Every Nigerian reserve the right to live wherever they so please.

ilugunboy:

Fine...the language may not really be nice coming from a politician. But the remark was not directed towards a particular group of people....we have people of various tribes in Lagos, so why are some deluded animals taking it so personal here on N/L?

afam4eva:
Fashola didn't mention any particular group, so we assume he's referring to Non-Lagosian Igbos, Yorubas, hausas etc. But it's still a very bad thing to say. Note that it was peeople like seanet and bluetooth who started by calling Igbos out. Check the first page.

ilugunboy:

If someone bait you out for a fight...must you fight?

What any sane person should have emphasis here is that the remark applies to all irrespective of tribe and those guys would have keep quiet.

afam4eva:
Anyways, i'm more interested in Fashola's utterance being addressed. I don't expect that in 2012 we could hear something like that from a government official. We're not in a military dispensation for crying out loud.

Sisi_Kill:


Rotflmao. . .okay that was funny!!

Yeah, he shoulda been a little more diplomatic but it is still funny.

one_man: Lagos is getting ready for PDP. ACN has sold their birth right. Watchout 2015...

ilugunboy:

Really I also believed that he could have tempered that speech but it could have been done out of the anger of the moment...we are all humans and we have such moments.

But making it to sound as if he has Igbos in mind is what is quiet mischievous.

victord1st:


6 banks.this is pure prostitution,settle down bro.
Alaba int'l collectively makes more T/O than all the listed coy put together.

XKZ:

It isn't just funny. It is disgraceful coming from someone who claims to be the leader of a cosmopolitan state like Lagos.
It begs the question 'is his village better than theirs' or 'does he believe villages Should be zones of lawlessness'.
And this is someone who probably will want to run for an office on the national stage...

berem: Of course he didn't mention any tribe when making that speech.as Afam said,seanet or whatever his God forsken name started the tribal bashing on this thread.Bluetooth heated it up! Do you think igbos on this forum would watch and not react? Its really disgusting that a speech made my Fashola has degenerated into hate and tribal bigotry.it is indeed a SHAME!

Grow up and stop discracing yourself, it is only people like you that find's you entertaining.

xwolverine: Lets reason on the following points so as to arrive at a viable assumption that we can base the premise that IGBOs don't own Lagos.


According to CIA https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/ni.html Nigeria is made up of the following ethnic groups: Hausa and Fulani 29%, Yoruba 21%, Igbo 18%, Ijaw 10%, Kanuri 4%, Ibibio 3.5%, Tiv 2.5%, 14.5% Others

If Lagos is a representation of Nigeria as a whole, then the 15 million people in lagos, would be made up of the following group of people:

*FULANI 4.35 million
Yoruba 3.15 million
IGBO 0.9 million
Ijaw 1.5 million
Kanuri 0.6 million
Ibibio 0.525 million
Tiv 0.375 million
others 2.175 million

*for reference, check out Agege, Yaba, Alaba Rago, mile 12, Abule-Egba parts of Lagos to verify this claim, and the margin for error would be ±0.5million for each ethnic group.

So, how can someone assume that Lagos is "owned" by the IGBOS? Remember, the same IGBO are also all over Abuja, Kano, Portharcourt, Delta.

geeez:

Who gives a flying hoot what party you stick your dirty thumbs to?

Yorubas will determine who rules in Yorubaland

Now ACN is a Yoruba tribal abi? If that's the case, what would you say about your backward APGA? At least, BRF appointed an Igbo man commissioner apart from people from other tribes in several ministries and parastatals. Can that happen in Igboland? When even one Igbo state can't allow people from another state work with its own government

You guys are just a bunch of hypocritical propagandists

Eziachi:
The last we check, their is no country called Yorubaland rather than One Nigeria your forefathers sheds blood to keep as one.
Its either One Nigeria or One Yorubaland?
You can't have it both ways. Oil booty you run to Abuja every month to collect, non comes from your land if I may recall. Don't tell me Ondo state. its from Ijaw LAND hacked off from their among their brothers and thrown into Ondo by OBJ/Ayo Irikife boundary adjustment magic of 1978. HURRAY ONDO IS AN OIL STATE!!

As for appointing anybody, there are people of Nigerian heritage robbing shoulder with other MPs at Westminster in London and they don't go each them reminding them on how grateful they are.

Eziachi: I guess go back to your village which is in Panya republic?
I Can see mayor of London saying the same now-go back to your village if you don't like London congestion charge.
One Nigeria!

thelastPope:

I was almost going to ignore your post. but i feel i have a responsibility to educate you. Your ignorance is so worrisome.

There are various seaports in Nigeria. Warri, Oneh, Koko, Calabar, Sapele and the new Akwa Ibom port. Lagos has Tincan and Warf ports. Because of the capital status of Lagos and the consequent growth in population, priority status was given to Lagos ports. That means, shipments are directed first to Lagos ports before any other ports. This is the reason there has been an agitation for the Onitsha river niger port. Someone in Enugu or Makurdi has to import his goods through the Lagos port. That means, he has to now convey his goods by road all the way from Lagos to his factory. That means more cost and all the dangers involved. Now if Lagos didnt have the capital status and consequently a population explosion, they would not have been given the priority status in both airports and seaports. If for some reason lagos was to have a mass exodus of people, it means some new state will grow in population and both individual and business activities will grow there. Consequently, the demand for airport and seaport activities would shift and the government will have to respond to that demand by giving priority status to those new states. The result of that will be simple. Lagos ports will loose business. Taxes will drop drastically. Both the federal and state revenue will drop drastically and Lagos would have a big challenge because they have no real natural resource. Sapele port is the best in Nigeria because it is a fresh water port but it is completely unutilised. 80% of all seaport activities are channeled to Lagos. That will change if Lagos was 3million. First the demand for goods in Lagos will drop drastically and that demand will move elsewhere. This is just a little education for you.

You should educate yourself before posting in a public forum

seanet01: Of course you will said that Lagos belongs to all sundry, but deep inside you know that the original owners were the one stayed behind in 93 when you people started your coward yam festival in the east. No room for nonsense in Lagos, it is either you are submissive to our laws or you Bleep off to your erosion ravaged iboland. Clear?

omo_to_dun: I understand the governor's primary point but his condescending approach leaves little to be desired. I detest that he has resorted to denigrating the village so as to emphasize his point. He should simply have told any prospective traffic offenders that they would be heavily penalized.
