Rome's Vatican uses Catholic Churches, Schools and Hospitals to own land worldwide, and America is using American Corners to hold land and house their assets for information gathering.

Please the us should support us fight Bandits and others. The country needs their tech gadgets. Not just weapons

Unfortunately the politicians, the military echelon and the northern elite who are beneficiary with vested interest in the Roth won't allow them .
President Jonathan did something similar during the abduction of the chibok girls but it was sabotaged by those guys in the North.

Shun mediocrity my bro. Lagos would be a 100 times greater than it is presently if it were properly managed. You don't see it because you're eulogizing the very same man who's leeching on its resources


Mediocrity or no Mediocrity sometimes you just have to face reality, every state in Nigeria will do better with vision. Our fertile soil is enough ground to make money .
Comparing Lagos with other cities is a long thing and yield no results, if other states can be like Lagos in terms of opportunities alone Nigeria will be a step better.

Oga, to fix all these, let Nigeria stop running unitary system of govt. For instance, u want to move national assets like CBN which is funded with all tax payers money to Lagos which would add up revenue generated by Lagos state. Then tomorrow, u want non Yorubas out of Lagos and u want them not to vote any candidate of their choice? Can u all sit down and talk senses to una heads?
The best thing is try as much as possible to decentralize Nigeria so that every region will be free from lagos, so that the general tax of Nigerians wont be going to lagos again rather the tax of yoruabs can be in lagos. This way, no body go follow u drag lagos. And as long as Nigeria runs a centralized system, people will always call BAT name or whoever is in power.
Even America that does not run a unitry system of govt, her citizens are constantly abusing their president even though their president has sense more than all Nigerian leaders.


Your idea is good no doubts, but no state is ought to be poor with the fertile soil we’ve all over Nigeria, these bunch of lazy governors take the opportunity to claim the unitary system is hindering them to perform but it doesn’t stop them from enriching themselves.

What are these Tinubu legacies?


One of his legacies is what the Secretary of State came to identify with , that office will yield profit for Lagosian for life time as long as Nigeria and USA continue to have diplomatic ties .

BAT is better than most of our governors in terms of vision though all of them have some fair share of kwaraption ,

but some people will never admit theirs. Like I always say this present Yoruba generation won’t acknowledge BAT but the next ones will Eulogies him when his legacies starts to pay off
The bold is like a curse.
For that to happen, the next generation would have to be the most unintelligent group on earth
or the country would have deteriorated to a stage that any past leader is automatically more competent than the future's.

The issue of Lagos is like that of a rich man's son with big balance in his account.
It would be naive to conclude that he must be hardworking or prudent.

If Sanwo Olu steals 20 billion Naira from Lagos budget, nobody will notice but
should Ekiti governor try it, that is a large number of workers not paid, essential services
suspended and some ministries in coma.
That different outcomes doesn't make Sanwo Olu smarter or better manager than the
Ekiti governor.
They are operating in a very different world.

The energy you’re using to vent and ask questions use it to research , how much tax USA consulate will generate at the Eko Atlantic yearly and the job opportunities it’ll create .

When other countries make futuristic plans we applaud then when it’s done here we frown at it . If ideas and legacies are so cheap why Is Nigeria like this ? Why are other state governors not doing good with funds they get from government? If you hate someone doesn’t mean you’ll have to criticize everything the person does either good or bad it’ll make it seem Fake and bias when you criticize what’s ought to be criticized.

They are lazy becus u practise unitary system. This means that even if a state doesnt work, it would get allocation. FG has no business managing and earning the resources and VAT of states. Let states control their resources and end monthly share of allocation which they even share based on population. This indirectly encourages states to give birth as they wish since they would get allocation from FG. I dont need to work hard as a governor becus I am sure that I will get allocation shared by FG at the end.

So, end the current system and let every state go out and work. No work, no money. U will see how some states will begin to cut down on population growth, running cost, etc.

Regardless a working and a visionary governor will work , the more revenue you generate the bigger share you get from FG isn’t it ?
Besides during their campaign they promise to be workaholic. I don’t see myself as a lazy governor if I’ve the opportunity to serve .

As long as we keep this mentality that Lagos is too rich bla bla other state governors will just sit down and do rubbish and tell you Lagos is succeeding because of federal might let’s continue.

But we can’t say much about our respective governors , instead of calling them out we will rather rubbish BATs legacies and say Lagos is a no man’s land . Let’s keep on giving our respective governors the impetus to do rubbish why we criticize only Lagos Governors who are still better in all ramifications.

Is research possible without asking questions?

1. What is the legacy that d sec if state came to identify with?

2. Which office are u referring to that will yield profit and how much profit are we looking at?

3. What is the vision that Tinubu has that no other human being has otr has ever had?

TODAY in 2024 - there are technologies that can spot a frog on a sidewwalk - there are drones - flying like kite that can survey our forest and pin point where bandits and kidnappers are in the forest - while holding out citizens as captives - how come the NIGERIAN state is not using drones that nollywood skit makers use easily to detect Kidnappers den in the forest and attack it ?

this game the government is playing of turning a bling eye to kidnapping will consume this nation very soon

Google is not your enemy just type all these you’ll get the answers, I’ve had this argument previously and not going back .
You hate BAT to the extent you don’t want to research anything positive about him .

You'd be naive to think otherwise. The FBI themselves admitted to having his records and at one point wanted to make them public before doing the opposite. Do you honestly believe that America cares about us africans? They only care about their interests which is what the US secretary of state came here to discuss; the full extent of which we will never know.

Exactly, I’m not Yoruba but if anything happens to Nigeria and we’ve to go out separate ways Yoruba won’t start from scratch. These are the things most you guys don’t see . If every region can have someone who fights for his people like this everywhere will be balanced.
