Traffic police and road safety corps are still very much available in Lagos. He simply created LASTMA to complement the efforts of these other agencies as they were undermanned.

This was the very first time that na the history of Nigeria that a state government would attempt to create a paramilitary agency at the state level and today, it has become a huge success that other states have copied.

This is the kind of bold, innovative and courageous ideas that Tinubu will bring onboard to solve various problems confronting Nigeria.

He created LASTMA for traffic management, LIRS for revenue generation, LAWMA for waste management, RRS for security management, Office of the public defender for providing free legal services to those who can’t afford it, IPP for improved electricity supply, BRT for mass transportation, free WAEC fees for all public school students etc. All these ideas have now been copied by so many states including FG.

Now tell us just one new idea that Peter Obi introduced as governor of Anambra state that has been copied by FG or any other state in the country.

You really schooled the zombie who only ended up demarketing the empty Rock.

hahahahahahahaha...damn

PresidObi:


You can't even provide a reasonable argument backed with the constitution.

Did Tinubu break any law or he fully employed the existing authority inherent in a state government within a federation?

Now we know the candidate with an antecedent for reformation and restructuring.

We the sensible youths would vote Tinubu.

AdamuKD:

What do you have to say about this track record ?
Mumu

Show us obi track record that is still presently bring enjoyed in alambla ATM
Obi is not even a threat
He and kwankwaso can only help disturb Atiku votes

PresidObi:


Clearly, that was putting aside the Nigerian constitution which he swore to uphold? The Nigerian police are the constitutional body with the responsibility of directing traffic and punishing offenders. We dont want someone who will work against the constitution because of his personal interests.

I would excuse this shit of a rebuttal because it was made out of ignorance. There is something called legislative lists in the Nigerian constitution. Simply put, this lists allocate power jurisdictions between the federal government and the federating units. Under it, traffic management is a power shared by both federal and state, hence in a list called concurrent legislative list. The exclusive list captures powers reserved for the federal government alone, wile the residual list contains those functions exclusive to state government. I understand you are supporting Pandora, but you need to read up on the basics of governance, so that informed people will not read your funny responses to arguments and assume that Pandora laborers are a bunch of uninformed, toxic ignoramuses

Regards!

See his head like assemblies of God's church

He did well then, but what we are saying now is that he is too old to lead us. How can a man of 84 years want to be president

Sir, don't employ your emotions in constitutional matters. The constitution is made for everyone.

that constitution is made for your state too, not only lagos.if your state is not meeting up,hold someone responsible.

[quote author=BATified2023 post=116493902]This is the reality we are talking about n not someone who governed a state for 8 years n couldn’t point out to 1 thing he did throughout his tenure but will tell people to go n verify what they can’t see

I see many akpu munching gorillas there trying to rubbish what tinubu did even when their candidate doesn’t have anything to show for his 8 years in office

The only thing igbos are using ti promote their ipob candidate is by insulting everyone,bullying,character assasination,threats,violence n the likes

Tell them to bring this same thing replicated by obi during his tenure n they will start insulting you

I asked a question on a thread about 5 things Peter obi did better than tinubu as governor That's why he always tells you GO AND VERIFY because we are a moving train! No amount of convincement you'll believe...just educate ur mumu with maybe GOOgle or somethng.

U forgot to add SHAYO

The present blue train, was initiated and designed by Tinubu. Just like the red and purple train. Tinubu requested for and got the right of way of the mile 2 to badagry from Obasanjo to be made 10 lanes because the road belongs to the federal govt. But due to the Obasanjo seizure of the allocation then, Tinubu could not start work on the project, but all prelimary work, design, feasibility study were done.

Do you build railways overnight?

Britain's H2S (first phase) is not expected to be ready till 2029 at the earliest or even 2033.

In all of this where are the railways Obi built?

I showed you that Addis Ababa built its light rail in four years. I told you that Jonathan built the Abuja light rail, the Abuja-Kaduna railways plus revived the existing railways in five years, not so?
Thiefnuibu and his A-Looter Propaganda Congress, APC progreThieves have failed in 23 years of looting to build a single phase of light rail.

TTC in talks to sell old trains to Lagos. Are they safe enough?
AUGUST 10, 2011

Fashola visited Toronto earlier this year to inspect the TTC trains.

The Lagos deal would be the first of its kind for the TTC. Decommissioned cars are usually sold for scrap metal and can fetch up to $1,500 dollar each. While Ross declined to discuss specific figures, he says the sticker price for Lagos is "significantly more" than scrap prices, putting the potential profits to the TTC in the millions of dollars.

It is not unusual for technology from western nations to end up in poorer countries. Marketplaces in Africa and Asia are flooded with North American clothes, computers, and even cars, but the purchase of larger technology like trains is rarer.

The cars will have to be significantly refurbished to fit existing infrastructure in Lagos, and some Nigerian media reports have lamented that the government appears to have settled on "tokundo," or used, trains instead of brand new vehicles.

Although half the cars are more than 30 years old, Ross is adamant they are perfectly safe and are only being decommissioned for capacity reasons. But he also admitted the TTC is not required to make sure the cars meet any safety standards before selling them.

"Once sold, it's up to the new operator to ensure they are in good working order," he said. "They do need to be maintained much more frequently than the new trains, simply because of their age. At some point they will run out their useful life."

Murtaza Haider, director of the Institute of Housing and Mobility at Ryerson University, said the age of the cars is definitely a cause for concern.

"We should be ensuring that there is some service life left in these vehicles and we're not going to be playing havoc with the lives of those who would ride these vehicles," Haider said. "There's metal fatigue, and that metal fatigue could result in dangerous conditions. I would be paying a close watch on this for the next ten years to see how many accidents do happen in Lagos."

He also warned that while rail systems are glamorous as far as transit infrastructure goes, they are not always as effective at reducing congestion as other options. Nevertheless, new rail systems are frequently preferred because governments can take advantage of kickbacks from large contracts.

According to media reports, the cost estimates for the Lagos rail project have varied wildly from $1.2 billion to $30 billion. In 2010, a Nigerian government watchdog accused Fashola's government of widespread corruption.

"More often than not, politicians favour rail transit because it is more expensive," Haider said. "It's almost useless in some cases, and less productive in most cases, than a bus system. But you can't buy busses for $30 billion. You can inflate prices and make a lot of money buying a rail system."

traffic management started in lagos before you state governors started it,that is vision. Lagos leads.

Stop lying.

Abuja light railway was planned as far back as 1997.

The contract was awarded in 2007.

And its first Station was opened in 2018.

Your knowledge of law is shallow. Traffic management is not on the exclusive list in the constitution. Both federal and state can legislate and create agencies to manage traffic.

hohafrank:
Since he created LASTMA that take over the functions of traffic warding,the problems of traffic jam got worsen.
To me, this was created for selfish ends rather than solving traffic problems.

Do you know the number of people from your region that are employees of the agency?

This one just choose to be cerebrally stagnated.

FEGNO:


I think you are wrong on who first created a body like LASTMA. In 1981 or 83 Jim Nwobodo had created the Road Corps.

And where is the Red corps today?

VULCAN:
Lastma has caused so much pain to private car owners who break traffic laws in Lagos.

Fixed!

On a daily basis Tinubu's achievements are being released to the chagrin of the Disobidient children who wake their parents with slap and kicks but they found it prettily hard to show us the achievements of their master rather they tell us to go and verify. We don't have time to verify failure.

WowSweetGuy:
God punish people promoting this greedy old man

E be like we no too get sense for this country o

how will you feel if the so called man succeed Buhari? Please i sincerely wish to know bikonu

I hope you won't wish the country to burn to ashes or wish him dead ba?

PresidObi:
So, he removed the traffic police and ignored the road safety corps, employed and funded a parallel body with the help of his state legislature and took over the jobs of a federal organisation like the police and the road safety?

This man has never believed in the Nigerian government.

Why didn't he ensure that the police did their work to control traffic?

u are mad and stupid. what else do u want.a lot of graduates are still looking for jobs after so many years.

Even if we assume that what you said is true, is that why Thiefnuibu and his gang of thieves have taken 23 years of looting to NOT deliver just one phase of Lagos light rail to ease traffic congestion, which was one of the reason for establishing LASTMA?
BTW, how much of the work of LASTMA is the responsibility of LGAs that Thiefnuibu and other governors have suffocated

PresidObi:


Sorry, I don't support those bodies. The police should either do their jobs or be broken down and each state control their own police. That has always been my stand on that.

He thought about that too. He thought about both, and he chose one based on his experience and advice, and we cans we lasma is a huge success

danilmo:


This one is just choose to be cerebrally stagnated.

most of the guys supporting Obi are either illiterates or still trying to get admission into universities.

The project plan was initiated in 2003.

The Metro was proposed in 2009.

Would be completed this year.

What are you crying over?

What has either Atiku or Obidient built?

Every virtue attributed to your Tinubu so far is still not up to 50% of the ones we were told about the current failure Buhari.
Buhari was more marketed compare to all these Lagos state whatever you guys are posting, and still everyone including you now wished the era of Jonathan.

Can you answer this question, who did you vote for 2015?
This will solve the problem, tell us then we would know whether to hear your stupidity or not

Remember, Stupidity is doing the same thing and expecting different results

The people will attribute everything in Lagos including the air they breathe to this old man

He removed traffic police and introduced lawma so as to extort legosians even today traffic police are still much at work while the so called latsma officials are busy extorting road users and selling thier seized vehicles ' when ambode refused to do his biddings and introduced visionscape he quickly denied him second term and replaced visionscape with lawma so they will also extort people for him...tinubu is only a greedy thief that masters the act of extortion for his personal gains..everything about him is just tax tax tax

He should go and open d toll gate make we see..May God punish all those greedy old men that refused to let this country prosper

PresidObi:


I love the way you put it, and I agree he was trying to solve a problem. But we cannot give him credit when there's the bigger case of subversion of the existing constitution which states clearly who should do what.

I understand the problem of the police and even the FRSC, but allowing each state make laws that suit them without recourse to existing laws will create 3 problems.

The police and FRSC are still arresting traffic offenders in Lagos and elsewhere, the LASTMA are also doing the same job, without collaboration of these bodies, where can we get the records of repeat offenders? Where can we enforce a central traffic directory and uniform punishment of offenders?

Have you seen the serious loopholes created when we decide to abandon the constitution because we are trying to solve a problem? Tinubu shouldn't be praised for creating LASTMA, it increased traffic management issues instead of ending it.

That's my point.

Please point to the section of the Constitution the Tinubu violated in creating LASTMA.

Let's begin from there before we enter the constitutional debate to discuss the principle of federalism.

Because the way you are sounding is embarrassingly foolish and just ridicule the image of Peter Obi that people promoting him on Nairaland are worse than secondary school drops out
