Politics / Re: "If Anything Happens To Osinbajo, Nigeria Will Break" – Ayo Adebanjo by oxonek: 10:58am On Aug 12, 2017
Alcatraz005:
Nothing would happen if anything happens to osinbajo as we yorubas are the weakest tribe in Nigeria. We are too docile. #bittertruth.

You seem to underestimate the revolutionary power of the Yoruba people, and I will tell you why. I am Ibo by the way. There is no tribe in Nigeria today that has resisted oppression physically, and by violent means, more than the Yoruba tribe. In the 60s when elections were rigged in the West, the entire region was engulfed in an orgy of violence, never before seen in Nigeria. Ask people of the origin of the words "operation wetie" and "Wild wild west"

After the 1983 elections when the then ruling NPN massively rigged the elections across the West, supplanting the then popular Awolowo led UPN, the region, especially Ondo state stood still! There were riots in Ondo state and all over the West, of the type never imagined, or expected by the then ruling NPN of President Shehu Shagari. The then "elected" Governor of Ondo State Akin Omoboriowo had to relocate to Lagos to attempt to govern from there. He could not stand the heat back home. Meanwhile in the East, the popular Jim Nwobodo was rigged out without a whimper from his people. Unpopular C.C. Onoh was made Governor. I think the courts reinstated Jim. What saved Sam Mbakwe of Imo State was that he wept live on TV, leading the then ruling party to leave him in sympathy. He later became "the weeping Governor" We can go on and on.

Now of Nigeria's recognised radicals, I recall Funmilayo Ransome Kuti (Fela's mum), Fela, Gani Fawehinmi, Beko Ransome Kuti, Tai Solarin (who started the SAP riots in 1990), Bishop Gbonigi, Wole Soyinka, today's Femi Falana. Now, show me anyone else from any tribe that has done better than these names in advocating for radical change. I would be glad to be proven wrong.

Please, my dear brothers, the Yorubas are not lazy. Let this notion leave your mind. They may be slow to fully react, but they can be venomous when they do, including by "African" war fare means. The warrior title Are Ona Kakanfo exists in Youbaland. Tell me your tribe's equivalent title.

Make we let sleeping dogs lie o! smiley

Education / Re: Adisadel College In Ghana That Got Me Shocked by oxonek: 10:56am On Jul 30, 2017
Ghana has tradition, they have institutions that maintain and uphold their standards. They have organisation. They are serious minded and you see that right from the airport where professional servicemen meet you, straight faced, no "what have you brought for your boys"? When Ghanaians analyse their economy and politics, they do so articulately. That's a product of their sound educational system. Over here, we joke! We reek of mediocrity. Just like our substandard schools. Nigeria awake! Choose your leaders aright.

Properties / Re: Flood Overwhelms Asaba, Destroys Official Documents, Files, Homes by oxonek: 10:40am On Jul 23, 2017
The fact that the flood water in Asaba is red is indicative of severe underdevelopment of the area. No tarred roads! Asaba has become a glorified village, ignored by successive governments. This is the first time pictures of a flooded Nigerian State Capital is dominated by RED flood water.

Properties / Re: How Much Will It Cost To Finish This Building Please? (pics) by oxonek: 6:55am On Jul 19, 2017
NwaAmaikpe:
shocked

This plan is an insult to professionals like me.
This was certainly drawn by a quack draughtsman


Which architect still designs on tracing paper wih point pens and stencils when we have Archicad, Revit and AutoCAD 3D.

OP get that plan redesigned by a professional.
Who still uses a void courtyard next to a kitchen in a bungalow just for lighting purposes?


The design is shabby, very shabby.

The toilets for the two rooms should be ensuite,
Same as that for the guestroom...

The situation of the guestroom is also a no-no for me. It should not be accessed on the same lobby where the master's bedroom is accessed through.
There is no privacy.

Only professionals can relate to my critique.


To your question on cost?
No need building this trash. Get it redesigned.

How do we connect? I need a design for my proposed 5 bedroom country bungalow sitting on pillars, and a BQ. The BQ to sit at the back, and the front part with pillars to form the garages. A lawn and garden in front. Thanks for responding.

Politics / Re: Abacha Injected Shehu Musa Yar’adua With Virus That Killed Him — Obasanjo by oxonek: 9:48am On Jul 09, 2017
SalamRushdie:
Another lie again ..Everyone that knew Yard Adua personally will tell you what years and years of legendary smoking had done to his health before his incarceration by Abacha , you can say the Incarceration was worsened his health but Abacha didn't inject him with any Virus , if Abacha wanted to inject anyone with a virus it would have easily been Obasanjo because Obasanjo posed a bigger threat to him internationally than Yard Adua

You obviously did not read Obasanjo's account well. Go through it again, then go through historical accounts from sources such as Tell [/b]and [b]Newswatch magazines, then return and write here again.

But why is Ambode not making any move or commenting on the badoo issue, that's beginning to give lagos a bad name..

If was to be in Rivers, Nigerians would have eaten Wike raw

No, Ambode has since visited Ikorodu, and declared "war" on Badoo. See news updates.

Car Talk / Re: Have You Ever Opened Someone Else's Car By Mistake? by oxonek: 9:10am On Jul 04, 2017
4 days ago, I called Taxify and saw the assigned vehicle was a Toyota Camry 2009 model. I made my way outside my gates, opened the back door of the car and peered in; only to see a lady seated behind the steering wheel with the most startled look on her face. As I withdrew, I apologised profusely explaining my mistake...then, my called cab appeared. Same Camry model. Sigh. embarassed

For those talking trash up there....
Nobody needs u guys in Lagos...
Right now there are hundred of Buses from The East heading to Lagos .. hundreds from The North have probably arrived Lasgidi..

People keep trooping in in their millions everyday Into the city of Lagos...

Artists and investors from everywhere just wanna reside and work in Lagos.. have u asked ursef why.. ? it is simply because there is no city in Nigeria that is as great as Lagos A Yoruba cosmopolitan State.

I don't get Y ppl take to social media to rant all cuz of a particular area is floody... why not report to d right authorities so that something drastic can b done...

No matter the hateful spite.. the truth remains no place in Nigeria as beautiful, crazy, lively and fun as Lagos state.

Just like Banky w said "No party as the Lagos party"

Olamide couldn't hide his feeling for Lagos when he said "If I carry u go banana island you go love Lagos o"

Humblesmith an Igbo guy was so happy to have found a life in Lagos, when the East couldn't give him such good life, he said "Beautiful Lagos o, Land of mercy land of success o, for Lagos everything too sweet o" He even advised okon to come to Lagos to succeed

I LOVE LAGOS SO MUCH

GOD BLESS LAGOS
GOD BLESS SOUTHWEST
GOD BLESS YORUBAS
GOD BLESS NIGERIA
GOD BLESS AFRICA

The guy's beautiful write up is not hating on Lagos, but simply saying why he cannot fall in love with Lagos even after giving the city a couple of chances to warm up to his heart. Lagos is a popular destination for us Nigerians no doubt, but you cannot hide the fact that it drains you faster than an android battery. Sigh!

When you guys keep referring to some tribe as cowards (in apparent reference to Yorubas) I wonder if you ever thought the likes of Gani Fawehinmi, Fela Anikulapo Kuti, Wole Soyinka, Gani Adams and the rest of them came from some outer space tribe? Now name your own heroes, including the one who bolted to Cot d'Ivoire. You may ignore the one, the new leader, that keeps saying he didn't say what he just said.

Yorubas are no cowards: Awolowo went to jail, and was one of Nigeria's most principled politicians. Soyinka was arrested and detained for treason, Fajuyi died for Ironsi, etc etc. What other sacrifice proves their bravery? I am Ibo, mark you.

thief money wa he miserable son thief na dem da spend so, bunch of criminals,

You are either about 5 years old, or a bit un-enlightened. You know nothing about Igbinedion, one of Africa's most outstanding entrepreneurs in over half a century. He started at a very young age, founded Midmotors, Nigeria's first private vehicle assembly plant renowned for Hino trucks, established Okada Air, Africa's pioneer private Airline which helped sustain air travel in Nigeria when Nigeria Airways began to falter, established the pace-setting Igbinedion Education centre, founded Nigeria's touted answer to overseas medicare, Igbinedion Hospital and Medical Research Centre Okada Wonderland (now Igbinedion University) among many firsts. His wealth and prominence far predate your arrival son. You can email me @ fredoxone@gmail.com, or visit the Igbinedion website for more information if interested. I just love his courage and achievement, that's all!

One of Africa's best brains. You never get it right the first time with Tony. There's nearly always need for you to go and correct something you've brought to him. Detailed to the dot. When he began to set up branches of the then Standard Trust Bank, people said he was crazy, a "cowboy" Now everyone has followed the vision. Bank at your door step! Innovator extraordinaire!
