But these actions you just described are entirely condemnable. It doesn't matter if it is reality or otherwise.

Why should anyone be dismembered for what they say? It is wrong and if you know anyone who is inclined to do so, you should condemn them and notify the police for their immediate arrest.

There are insecurity in the capitals of Niger Delta states?

A001:

Then, why are you spreading misinformation?

A unipolar world controlled by the West is harmful and dangerous to Africa.

A multipolar world is in the best interest of Africans, and it's important that countries in the East like Russia and China keep opposing the hegemony of the West.

If not, what happened to the natives of America will be child's play if the West, especially the UK and the US, is allowed to gain power over the whole world: You can say goodbye to Africa as you know it.

It's sad that most Africans don't know the horrors of slavery and colonialism by GB, France, Portugal, Belgium.

This topic isn't given enough attention in this part of the world, and most Africans don't think deeply.

Because most Africans only read books of history (books of lies) written by Western authors, they don't learn true history of colonialization and slavery and how the colonial masters and slave masters committed acts of genocides in parts of Africa and India and other unspeakable things.

Because most Africans don't know this history, it will be easier to recolonize Africa in the future. And many Africans are even calling for recolonizaton because they don't know the horrors of colonization and slavery.

If most Africans know these facts about the West, some would have done worse than Prof Uju when she made her brave remarks about the death of Queen Elizabeth.

As a true African, you can't know how colonial masters and slave masters from these Western countries committed acts of genocide, forced labor in Africa, torturing Africans in enslavement camps, how the Britons massacred the native Americans and took over their land to form today's US, and you'll still be taking sides with the West in this Russian-Ukrainian war.

The West did much worse to their colonies in Africa and India than Russia and are not repentant for their evil actions.

@Bolded, so you mean Tinubu wasn't the builder of Lagos?
.

Spy360:

I totally agree with you. Lagos is what it is because of the sea port coupled with once being the nation's capital.

There are several other points in the country where a sea port can be arranged. We can have more than 5 seaports in this country. This will reduce the pressure on Lagos.

The fact is ordinarily, Lagos will not want such as it will take away over 40% of it's IGR. But then they asked for it, when they say it is not 'no man's land'.

DissTroy:


I agree, they are - they are despicable acts. But this is Nigeria.

Melvyn11:

Insecurity due to their dubious activities. Every IOC headquarters should be located at the regions where they operate. You can't be operating in peoples community where your activities affect their environments badly while, you run to another region to site your headquarters. Let them stay there and feel what the people of the region feel, engage the youths and provide some basic amenities for them. Some of these IOCs dubious activities have in the time past lead to youth restiveness in those regions.

Melvyn11:
Niger Delta regions just dey play. Seems they don't know the amount of power they have in Nigeria.

Good question!!

Ibime:


Companies go where there is security. All this talk is lamba

Insecurity drove them out, and only security can bring them back

emmaodet:



The black man is just wicked. Looking for excuses for not doing things.
A society is not as hard to run and managed the way they making it to look like.
Give any state to the Germans. I mean any useless state like jigawa and you will be ashamed to see what they would have turned it to in 10 years while the other blacks states are still in tatters

chrisooblog:
As it stands LP only looks sure of winning one state in the governorship can we say we overestimated the Obi wave?

cc izzou, blueraydick, flint, larride, istrm

Spy360:

Debunk what really? Lol He does not even have to give ear to such nonsense. Doing so will only add credence to it. But let that slide. GRV is a true born Lagosian and has the right to contest for election.

Unlimited22:

Adamawa, Kebbi, where and where?

larride:


Na only first timer voters Dey use presidential election votes to anticipate how local election will turn out.

DontBullshitMe:

Of course, the Presidential elections does not 100% determine the direction of State gubernatorial election but it sure plays a role too.

Immediately APC lost the Presidential election in Oyo state in 2019, they knew they were in trouble and started to shop for alliance.

The moment APC lost the 2023 Presidential elections in Kano, everyone knew the Gubernatorial election was never going to be easy for APC.

DontBullshitMe:

Is Lagos the most secured state in Nigeria?

BlueRayDick:
Can we be tagging the supermods to any post that appears to be tribalistic going forward? At least to restore some sanity to the thread

Since we know the report button doesn't really hide such posts

Theflint1:
Oh they've always, labelling opponents as Igbo's is Tinubu's time-tested strategy and it clearly works like charm.

DontBullshitMe:

The guy who was shot at was on top of a lady while wielding a knife.

Shooting 100% justified IMO.

Elder0001:
Y'all just used tribalism to make this thread uncomfortable, smh.

People you thought were learned and well travelled will be typing tribalistic bs.

Anyways, Niger Delta governor's should make sure oil companies relocate their headquarters to the Niger Delta. You can't be drilling oil here and be locating your headquarters elsewhere. If they can't locate their headquarters here, then they should be drilling oil in Lagos only.

Bombblacks:

Normally the oil producing states should have been the feather in cap for Nigeria. If you look at the American states of Texas, Alaska, Louisiana, and California, their growth was fueled in part or largely by oil. The cities of Houston and Dallas were built on oil money, and so was the state of Alaska. A state rich in Oil is supposed to be booming, I mean look at common Dubai. The oil producing areas of Nigeria should have been the catalyst of the industrial revolution in Nigeria. They should have been home to numerous industries such as pharmaceutical (Aspirin uses petroleum), cosmetic oils and greases, Industrial oils and greases, plastics resins synthetic fibers, industrial and domestic detergents, chemical fertilizers, and a host of other industries that depend on crude oil for raw materials. So much possibilities wasted.

Theflint1:
You still don't get it. Obainojazz showed you pictures of Tinubu and his guys donning Igbo attire for their campaign pics, why didn't you say it's them sucking up to Igbo's?

Igbo's that are like 15-20% of the states population is who politicians want to use to win elections?

Tinubu and his opponents know that Yoruba's are the overwhelming majority of the states population, once Tinubu knows that the election might be tight for him, and Yoruba's are open to voting for the opposition, all he has to do is label the opposition Igbo's or Igbo suckerups, create an us vs them scenario and get Yoruba's to vote against the opposition, thinking they're voting against the Igbo's...slam dunk. It's a time tested strategy.
