Land_of_M&H:


We have come to a point where Biafra is about to be actualized.

backtosender: hahahahahaha that means southeast will lack shoe markers and taxi drivers no we need them..

ak47mann: coward of the county

EmekaAkin:

It is clear I cannot communicate to you in English, go and read my posts very slowly then just maybe you will get m.

You refused to answer me- how are non-indigenes and non-Nigerians treated in the Niger-Delta - enlighten us. For someone ready to call Fashola barbaric, please explain how you treat people in the Niger-Delta?

DIVINE78:
Why are Igbo leaders shameless Kalu has taken shamelessness to a new height. This is a man that was a governor for 8 good years in Igboland, he did nothing to better the lot of his people but colluded with his mother to rob the state blind. Fashola is working and therefore every Dick and Harry from igboland wants to be in Lagos. Lagos is overpopulated for goodness sake. Go back to igbo land. Your governors receive monthly allocation from the FG just like Lagos.
It is bad enough nothing attracts an outsider to Abia state where Kalu was gov for 8 years but to come out and threaten to sue Fashola makes one wonder if common sense hasn't eluded Kalu and his co-travelers on NL. Shame! shame!! shame!!!

Ola Johnson:
You're Johnny (Yellow), the real coward of the county.

ilugunboy:

Another sheer waste trying to justify a blunder.

County surely is an English word....but replacing CENTURY with COUNTY is taking English word usage into the absurd

ilugunboy:

Am sure...those taxi drivers can sponsor you for a better education.

Stop disgracing well schooled and polished Igbos..

IYA NGBALI: you are not leaving lagos yet the place and the people are dirty,what an irony.. Vote for whoever you like in 2015,it wont change our stand of sending you back to your village,enough is enough,send my people back home to us. KOLOMU GBOMU IYA E

WildChild00:

Now I no where you're heading to, what happened to the constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria, that is what all states Governors in the Niger Delta region follows, that is the best answer to you question, anything outside the constitution is non and void accord to the law. So tell me, was your Governor following the constitution? Dont tell me he is above the constitution.

iichidodo: Lagos like its indigenes is dirty, we are only here to take advantages of its vast opportunities and if the your people don't like it they can into that gutter you call a Lagoon. 2015 pdp is takin over lagos. KOLOMU GBOMU IYA E

Gentle Naaz: guy dnt b stew pid. Gv Orji Uzor Kalu a place to stand, he wl scrape BH n all ds miscreants in North n our Nation at large.

Pukkah:

This matter is simple. Embrace true fiscal federalism. Support true political federalism.

How much of VAT is generated in Lagos state? What percentage of VAT revenue comes back to Lagos state?

According to the official sharing of revenue, Lagos only gets slightly higher than Kano. In terms of economic power, is people not more important than land mass?

Let's say in a typical month, Lagos gets an allocation of N48.5 billion followed by Kano with N31.9 billion. In that same month, Akwa Ibom gets N104 billion, followed by Rivers N99.1 billion, Delta N90.4 billion, and Bayelsa N49 billion.

I agree that having a high population will increase consumption, but the benefits of that does not come when others (whose burdensome people troop to Lagos) share in the benefits. There are also redundant people that are taking more from Lagos than they are giving. Honestly, why can't their home states support them? Why should the burden be on Lagos?

You may say that what of oil revenue? Let all states hold on to their resources and other sources of revenue and give back only a token to the central government.

The states make up the federation. The Federal Government exists because states exist and not the other way round. Let states take care of their people. Let the Federal Government only bother itself about common issues like currency, borders, external security, foreign policies and trade, immigration, etc.

The shameful situation we have today is rewarding the lazy people and obscuring the efforts of hardworking people. With this, the region(s) that many people generally think would suffer may come out stronger.

Why should states go cap in hand to Abuja every month? Eh?

Why should Lagos, or any other state in the Federation, support the citizens of other states? Eh?

If Fasola imposes taxes, they complain. Yet they know that Lagos is disadvantaged when it comes to federal allocation. If he ejects those that can't even pay taxes, they scream. What do they expect him to do?

ak47mann: PDP will take over lagos go and mark my word..APC unregistered and undemocratic party is finish...

backtosender: i can see u cant keep constructive discussion always diverting subjects go back and read what he wrote i believe he meant county not country village boy....

EmekaAkin:

Yeah I know the Mods here would not ban you because of obvious reasons. if it was a Yoruba poster - we all know what will have happened

Tochiokoye: From the comments am reading here, the future is not really bright How can someone pretend that deporting certain people cos they came from one ethnic group is a thing to be appLauded..what OUK said is the gosple truth the constitution embodied the term freedom of movement in any section of the country in as much as u did not commit any crime in which case the court can settle it and not being baggaged back to ur village..what Fashola did is constitutionally Wrong and should not be encouraged because this may go a long way in setting a precedence that other state Governors will imbibe #myOpinion#

9icest:

Abi. The same criminal who raped his state financially and ethically is now making noise.
Mr. Kalu, how many people of Abia did you turn to destitutes, gala hawkers, baby making factories dealers, armed robbers and immigrants in foreign lands? Im happy you are dealing with a SAN, someone whose actions are always within the confines of the law. You can sue the entire Yoruba race for all I care. And Im sincerely DARE you guys should start deporting Yorubas. I SINCERELY pray you do... Please hurry and lets see what this fall-out will lead to.
Haba, the state says it doesnt want excesses of beggars, and prowlers without jobs or identity who do nothing but harm its citizens...na wetin

longjon:

Did you say all states should hold onto their resources ? Can Lagos survive on its IGR alone ?

iichidodo: Look well mister and youd'see the mods did their job oh i forgot you r xenophobically blind with tribalism too see. By the way .Why didnt dey ban you too

T9ksy:


See enemies of progress. All the more reason why Fashola need to re-unite more Igbos with their families because you guys have never wished us well. You come to our land with next to nothing on you except the shirt on your back, we accommodate you, provide a safe and conducive environment for you to survive and prosper- something that your own elected leaders could not avail you with in your homestead but how do you repay us? By wishing to take over our land, destroy our culture, our self-identity plus trying to bring PDP back into our region knowing fully well how the last PDP representatives in our region, practically left our land in tatters. We had to fight long and hard to rid our region of PDP and here you are hoping they are back. Are you so envious of our progress that you will want PDP back to stem it?

You guys are enemies of progress and should be rounded up and sent back to your erosion-ravaged, kidnappers and grandnappers infested region. Your continued presence in our midst does not augur well for us.

YOU ARE THE ENEMIES WITHIN!

Ti iku ile oba pani................................yoruba ronu o!!!

EmekaAkin:

I insist that his actions are constitutional. Disprove it.


So you are telling me that non-indigenes and non-Nigerians in the Niger-Delta are treated fairly under the constitution? I think it is very ironic and laughable for someone from the Niger-Delta to be calling Fashola barbaric

EmekaAkin:

Stop forcing yourself to speak English, it doesnt suit you. I was addressing the Mods and not you, people have said less worse than you and have been handed a month ban but hey we all know the politics of the forum.

TheBookWorm: Fashola is not waging a war against Igbo people.

He is waging a war on poor people. The governor has deported fellow Yoruba before as well as Hausa.

The common link is that they all were said to be beggars.

iichidodo: Aaaww. Sorry yeh. Cry me a river.
