Ileke-IdI:

Like I said, if Lagos changes, thanks to some projects are going on right now, I def will be coming back.

tpiah, why you dey vex nau? Oya, tell me what is good in Lagos right now.

BTW, are you planning on retiring in AUS?

i will relocate to hausaland, insha allahu, with the option of speedily hotfooting it to my village if i so much as hear of a whiff of unrest.

just kidding.

Ileke-IdI:



Hmm. So basically you guys enjoyed the "Lagos Dream", while we . . . .nvm. Well, I'm hoping that Fashola and the next Gov to fix Lagos up, might be my retirement home lol

Kobojunkie:

Ofcourse, there was a time when being poor didn't mean poverty. It just meant you were poor. Back then you could still afford to feed self and live. You had access to water, light and good roads. Even if you had to plow your small farm everyday to make ends meet, it was ok.

Now, even farmers live in poverty. The poor live in miserable poverty and we sit thumbing our noses at them at every chance we get. The whole state, even Country is divided into two unequal parts - the have-nots and the have-it-alls. Government seems to care less and less for the have nots because they matter less and less by the year. It is heartbreaking when you think of how much better things used to be and where we seem to be heading fast.

Ileke-IdI:

Wow. . . . now I feel worms in my belly.

Serious matter, true about the division. But I partly blame THE PEOPLE for allowing the victimization of democracy. How can they let dirty politicians continue to run Nigeria the way it is. I know that it's easier said than than, but it's being done before. Where is the voice? The movement? Or dont we have a strong voice amongst the millions of Nigerians in Nigeria?

Everybody's priority is to get rich-->richer by all means.

Once you are rich, even if you killed 100 poor people to get rich, you are rich and 'worthy to be praised'.

Beaf:

Seriously, I find this funny!
Is it ok to make unproven declarations? A model in a glass box? Where is this so called model, is it at the museum in Onikan? Who made it? Was is Bruce Onobrakpayeya, Chike Onuorah or who? Why is there only one known photo of it?
You should be able to answer every single one of the above questions, otherwise na rumours you de spread!
Stop expelling hot air jare! Imagine, spreading b*llsh!t with confidence!

Gbawe:

You dis Beaf sef. Na wa for you OOO !!!! If the guy is making "unproven allegations" then so are you !!!! I know you are dogmatically stubborn but must  it cloud your reasoning , logic and utterances this badly? Go back and look at the picture . Look at the whole arm of the guy going through the window. Does the hand look normal to your at all or does it appear more like a caricature even a child can denote easily?

In any case , you lost objectivity when , instead of looking carefully at the picture, you repeated many time , in obvious support of the thread starter, that folks have a problem "accepting reality" . What "reality"? The "reality" concocted in the imagination of you and the thread starter? This is not Lagos today and I certainly dont see scenes like these getting about. If at all what the picture depicts is happening , then it must be extremely rare . Nobody , except someone totally ignorant or up to mischief, can claim that this picture is an accurate depiction of life in Lagos today.

Ileke-IdI:

Wow, oga o. I feel like Wole Soyinka's effort to push Nigerian Youths into politics, to change Nigeria is going to waste.

Def not family lol.

Kobojunkie:

I am a fan of Wole Soyinka's but lately I have been asking what the heck he is even trying to do. He "ALIGNS" himself with one group against the other and I wonder if we are really fighting the good fight that way. Many see this as simply playing along with one side of the problem and his many 'tantrums' don't help matters even.

Ileke-IdI:

He's simply the AL Sharpton of Nigeria. Just there to make a wave.
What has really changed or been done since his preaching? Nothing.

Beaf:

Stop twisting matters. Its simple, can you answer any of the questions I asked? If you can't, you are simply spreading rumours. People have come on to say the picture is various things, from a photoshop fabrication to a clay model. Obviously, these people (including yourself) have never created a computer graphic nor have they ever sculpted anything; but, hey! The average street person, is noisy even in ignorance.

The second dishonest thing you do, is go on about "Lagos of today". [b]Is the story of the picture really about Lagos or has the OP not made it clear it is a Nigerian issue? To me, it is a description of a lot that is wrong in the Nigerian approach. 

Survival of the fittest. This is what at least 90 % of the over 15 million Lagosians pass thru on daily basis. Would not live there for all the world

Beaf:

Abeg go and sleep jare! Where did I insult you?

All you are doing is waxing sentimental, because you simply cannot prove that you aren't rumour mongering and stretching facts (things for which sadly, you have past form).

Lets not get hung on this stuff if you can't address any of the simple questions I asked, I'd love to move on and not argue about made up stuff. Thank you.

Beaf:

^
Do I need to have met to know that you have know clue about what you are talking about? One of my accomplishments is a degree that makes me a bonafide artist. Yeah, as real as they come dude!

Next thing, you'll tell me is your four year old daughter created the picture in question. People sef!

Please run along with your unending stream of bile. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Beaf:



Its simple; the picture is real. Simple eh?

you're a fool.
are you serious, or just trying to be funny to get people to argue with you?
maybe you need glasses

THE AMAKA:

Welcome back, you will impress Gbawe.

You make a lot of noise, because you cannot appreciate what goes into creating such an image. But thats the signature of an idiot.

THE AMAKA:

LOL! yeah Beaf is obviously kidding just trying to get words out of people.

Gbawe:

[size=14pt]I won't bother to view the link you have provided[/size] because , by now , it is obvious you are a liar and a shamelessly decietful distortionist to boot .  WHy should anyone grant any credibility to what you write when you deliberately and decietfully  tried to insinuate your own intentionally wrongful interpretation of utterances that are clear in what is stated/meant? Lets hope you never become a politician because you will make Aondoakaa appear a Saint !!!
