The ignorance and illiteracy level of some of you never fails to amuse. To "fix electricity" is entirely in the hands of States?

Some day, bigoted, ignorant and hateful tools like you will understand why SW leaders are uncompromisingly demanding what is shown below.

One bridge , 3 toll Gates. But what does Lagos state actually do with the money given to it by Federal Government, notwithstanding the one it generates from Lagos residents. No social benefits is given to the people, nothing,

Babangida was magnanimous to have completed 3rd mainland bridge without one single toll gate on it.


The toll gate income will be shared by the Chinese builders of the project and the Lagos State government treasury. Without the income stream from those toll gates, there can be no new bridge construction simply on account of the project's enormity.

Don't mind any woke Obidients shutting you up. They think Peter Obi is a magician.
Personally I'll have preferred a former Governor of Lagos State to rule Nigeria like Ambode, Sanwo Olu or Fashola. But unfortunately Baba blu blue bribed his way to get the ticket.

For your information no one man built Lagos, Lagos was the capital territory of Nigeria and because of that all economic activities was brought here by the federal government. And mind you Lagos would have been more open than this if not for the greed of some men. Lagos is just an advanced slum and village if compared to other cities with the financial capacity of Lagos state, and Nigeria is just an advanced jungle if compared to other countries with the financial capacity of Nigeria.

This is Tinubu as far back as 2003.

WHY NOT TINUBU?

Well it was always him when he dropped his Senate Presidential Ambition in 1993 so that Abiola from same SW could have a brighter chance to secure the Presidential ticket of the SDP. It was always him,
after the annulment of June 12, 1993 Presidential election, and Abiola needed to attend a meeting with the military junta, it was always him.

Yes, it was always him when his Ikoyi house was bombed by the junta. It was always him when the military government took over his assets

all because of his defence of June 12 Presidential election. It was always him when he dressed like a imam to escape from Nigeria to Benin Republic. And when snippers went to his hotel room in cotonou but he narrowly escaped, it was always him.

By the way, where was the nutty professor when we were struggling for June 12? He must be in Eddie Murphy's country at that time. So it was always him.

When Tinubu was financing NADECO as narrated by Soyinka, attested to by Ladoja, it was always him.

It was always him who had his wife and children living far away from him, far from the life he planned to live as ExxonMobil Executive. It was always him.

And as the Governor of Lagos State at a time when Lagos was a jungle, him it was who deviced means of
generating mega revenue to build a mega city, it was always him.

When PDP rigged all elections in the SW and captured all SW states, it was him that rescued Lagos from PDP's jaws through which he eventually rescued the chunck of the SW. All this period,
where was the nutty history professor who specialises in inciting youths with war related history?

It was only Jagaban who organised a Charismatic voice for the opposition before the merger that eventually swept the PDP away in 2015. It was only him who developed politically,
many big names in the politics of SW today and to some extent, Nigeria.

It was only him who formed political party without contesting in that party but used it to elevate others regardless of tribe and religion.

It was only him who assets were targeted during the ill fated politically motivated endsars riot. It was only him that endsars hoodlums were looking for all over the world to kee.

Among those contesting for President today, it is only him that is contesting for the first time
since 2007!!!! Is this what is defined as greed?

And when the nutty professor said "Tinubu always asks for votes", yes he asked for votes for Buhari and Osinbajo, for Fashola, for Gbajabiamila the Speaker, for Aregbesola, for Ambode, For Ajimobi, for Lawan as Senate President,
for Fayemi, for Akeredolu, for Amosun, For Oyetola, for Abiodun, for Oshiomhole, for David Lyon, for Abdulrahaman, for Sanwo-Olu etc etc etc.......

It is only him who have been asking for votes to elevate others since 2007, there is nobody who does that, it is only him.
It is only him who lobbied GCFR for MKO but himself has no national honours. It is only a selfless patriot to cares for others and forget his own needs.

Him it was who lobbied JUNE 12 to replace MAY 29 as democracy day. I hope Nutty Professor understands this.

If a man like ASIWAJU BOLA AHMED TINUBU says EMI LOKAN, it is 100% absolute statement of merit, after serving all, it is time make a case for himself.

Bro, always good to be optimistic but you must match that with a pragmatic acceptance of reality.

The consortium building this Bridge will be foreign meaning we do not have the Engineering personnel or know-how to execute these type of projects, start to finish, indigenously and independently.


You cannot lead the world if you do not have highest level knowledge, skills and solutions-provision expertise. That is what "leads" the world.

Land prices and real estate values on BOTH shores connected by this new bridge will go through the roof the instant this project takes off in earnest. An acquaintance of mine who bought land on the "rural" Ikorodu shoreline decades ago, is now salivating like Pavlov's dogs, over the news of this new bridge project commencing to ultimately link his parcel of land to the Lekki shoreline corridor, one of the priciest areas of land in all of Africa.

You are so right.

Nice development, but the Blue rail project by Tinubu’s CCECC have been dragging for years like the Lokoja-Abuja highway contract.Suddenly 2023 election is here, then they revisited it again.

A lots of Lagos feeder roads are in terrible conditions and needs more attention than this project. So why the haste to commence the 4th Mainland bridge when the afore major project has not been completed?

The blue rail r at d completion stage already except u r blind, all the rail are on ground to start operation soon
The government won't stop fixing road and will always fix road as road construction don't last more than 5 years b4 it start decaying due to heavy usage and haulage that causes several accidents damaging our roads, dis 4th mainland will serve as alternative and reduces traffic

Salvage it from who?

The answer to that question unveils your hypocrisy in full colours.

How can you salvage a country that is better or was it not you who posted this below, saying Buhari's era brought the end to all of these vices that existed before? What again is being salvaged?

Its a nice move, highly commendable. Kudos to Lagos and the governor.
But it has nothing to do with tinubu. Before some claim it is the old man's wok.

Indeed one could be tempted to consider the possibility that this new announcement of contract awards for the new bridge might turn out to be little more than pre-election misinformation designed to win votes, but then there is the fact that the instant a contract is awarded for such a gigantic project, BINDING, and time-constrained legal documents are signed by all parties. Financial penalties for any deviation from such agreements are typically massive and studiously avoided going forward.

Those signed contractual agreements signal that the proverbial point of no return has in fact been reached, beyond which the project WILL and MUST proceed in order for all parties to remain on the right side of both regional and international corporate law, both of which stipulate severe financial penalties in the event that either signatory to the agreement show the slightest inclination to commit breach of contract by backing out of the deal.

Lagos Island was the Capital not Lagos State

The rest of Lagos State was under Awolowo’s Western Region






Below is the 1962 Map Of the Western Region

Lagos the Capital was the Small dot at the Bottom Of Ikeja Division

All of the Lagos Coast was under the Western Region except Lagos Island alone

FK off. So it has taken Lagos over 200yrs to actually think about building her own her bridge?? It has been using and riding on federally built bridges…. It has taken BAT and his crew 23yrs to come up with a ppp arrangement… Obi was in govt for 8 yrs and hasnt called the shot since

Lagos has been the develop by colonial Master and still being take over by federal government of Nigeria as headquarters even before Tinubu take of being Governor for 8 years and left. Now Lagos has elect few more governors since them and they all perform very well in their tenure. Yet you lair's accredited all the progress of Lagos to Tinubu. Aaabah

If Peter Obi's name did not enter this thread, I'd have been shocked silly. You are asking what he did in Anambra in reply to someone wondering why these Lagos projects have been all promise and no show over the years. Guy I understand you must eat but try get sense. Everything doesn't have to involve Obi unless you have a crush on him.
