Why are you asking me, have you verified Tinubu claim of neighborhood watch...that started during Ambode. Besides, we have vigilante long before Tinubu came, forget the nomenclature he gave to them. What are the benefits of LCDA....still yet, there are no pipeborne water in most houses in Lagos State. And the LCDA are they autonomous?

Every state can't be like Lagos...
Lagos was the dirtiest state when Tinubu created LAWMA and they have improved on the cleanest of the state. I can't see the effort of LASTMA on the roads because the travel time from Ikorodu to Lagos Island has increased significantly from what it use to be in the 90s to what it's today.

Another question who should ask ourselves, is how much are these people being paid...is their salary enough to take them home, compared to the life pension Tinubu signed into law for himself?

You definitely can't use that to judge LASTMA, the population of Lagos in the 90s is not same as now but the land area has always remained the same. This is the reason why one would have to give credit to Tinubu for envisioning the LFTZ and EKO Atlantic.
But still, without LASTMA, Lagos traffic would have been a warzone.
And Lagos pays the highest minimum wage in the country and there is likely hood for it to be increased soon.

olayiwola4u:
Okay

Thanks

Ok so Obi you didn't owe anything as a Governor so where are the dams you built or rather how many watt of electricity did you generate?

Drop your blog address.

Hello, I have a blogger blog but and currently have about 22 topics. I applied for Adsense but for weeks now I haven't been approved.
After reading you posts, I have found some reason why my blog has not been approved but still need you to check it out.

Who are the people?
Can what you are saying now be said to be the position of any tribe?
OP clearly referred to politicians and they cut across every region and you are foolishly bringing tribalism into it. may all the tribal bigots rot in hell.

Firstly, OP didn't make any statement relating to politicians.

Secondly, the fact that you understood what I wrote means what I said isn't a lie but facts on ground and the truth. And if me saying the truth is me being tribalistic, then I rather keep saying the truth and being tribalistic than me lying and deceiving others and being called a nationalist.

LocalStandard1:
First off, I support Peter Obi not cos I am from the East, in fact I am not even a Southerner.

I support the Labour Party's Obi cause let's look at Nigeria today. Take a look at the problems Nigeria is in right now, high-level Debt, insecurity, poor economic management, nepotism, out right and bare faced curroption, distrust of the citizens against the Government.



Now, I mentioned just a snippet of the problems but you will agree with me that they are things that all it takes is a President with the right body language, the right character and mind set to settle. Someone with integrity!

Nobody can accuse the Labour Party's Peter Obi of corruption, nepotism, abuse of public funds, condoning crime and corruption, mismanagement of public funds. No one! Instead they say he's wrong to be frugal in office, they say he's wrong to save, they say he's stingy for cutting government cost, they say he's too gentle. These are the exact kind of person Nigeria need now.

I am not also a Tinubu supporter, but I would like to address some of your points.

There is a saying in football that a team/player is at it's best as it's last game. If we take a look at the issues you raised and also look at how PO performed as a governor, then we would be lying to ourselves.

1) high-level debt: Yeah I would agree with you that he did well in paying state owned debt, but having debts wouldn't be a big deal if you are making enough money. That is why Lagos state, the US and other government would comfortably continue borrowing because they have the means of paying back.

2) I don't know much about insecurity during his era but I remember reading about Obiano campaigning on ending kidnapping in Anambra.

3) Poor economic management this is a very big issue in Nigeria and also he failed here as a governor. Of all the governors that ruled Anambra, he has the record of the lowest igr increase, this was also affirmed by Soludo when he said while Obi claimed he saved money, he glorified poverty.

4) If you say he isn't corrupt, then I would also argue with you that Tinubu is also not corrupt, the anti money laundering law 2012 prohibits the movement of cash if up to 5m but 250m was seen in PO's convoy in far away Lagos. The annoying aspect is the excuse he gave about a contractor wanting cash. As a former bank manager, one would expect he has knowledge about the law governing financial transactions.
If we should believe what he says of him wanting to pay a contractor, one would expect he should have used the service of private security companies that provides bullion van services.
If you say this isn't corruption, then Tinubu is also not corrupt, even though bullion vans where seen entering his house, we can't authoritatively say what is inside, how much is inside if it's money and also if what is inside is a proceed of crime.

5) Nepotism Peter Obi was severally accused of favoring a certain christian group, he was also caught to have said the people of the state should deposit there money in a certain bank as it's an Igbo bank we say we should over look this, he has also not proven us otherwise.

6.... Other issues that PO failed in are Disobeying of constitution (not conducting lg elections), failed in addressing industrial actions, failed in creating a platform to guarantee sustainable development etc.

Let's look at his only public outburst and the results.

Deno Melaye in a nation wide aired debate kept attacking Obi and acting like a child. After Obi called him out and rebuked him up till today Deno Melaye hasn't come after the OBIdients. That's a leader that knows when to be stern and assertive.

If your reason for voting him is because he rebuked a citizen for asking him question then lets look at Tinubu
When it was looking like the president is going to favour a candidate, he made the famous emilokan statement and also reminded the president of his place the rest is history.

When he was also attacked for not going for debates, he alsi rebuked them now no candidate is going for debates rather they are copying him in holding townhall meetings with stakeholders.


Recently Tinubu also attacked the presidency on the Naira change and fuel scarcity in a very viral outburst, can we also say this about Obi?

This man is everywhere and anywhere since winning the Labour Party's President ticket. Talk about physical and mental fitness.

Because someone is everywhere doesn't mean he his the right candidate and being physical fit is relative and for being mental fit, would you call a person who aggravates suffering and give bogus statistics as someone who is mentally ok?

This man is ready and challenged anyone, anywhere to bring any negative allegations against him. Talk about character and self assuredness.

This is who we need in Nigeria! Someone with character, an assertive personality, untainted, Uncorrupted, physically and mentally ready to be on the go, at all times.

Tinubu also challenge anybody to do this but nothing has happened. Infact, several cases have been dismissed. Infact when he was a governor, he was investigated severally by the opposition. In an interview, he also said the IMF investigated Lagos books but didn't see any wrong doings but still people keep accusing him of collecting a percentage from Lagos account.

We need someone with just the right Deputy also, ready and fit with the right character and intelliect to assume leadership when his principal is unavailable. We need people that can talk and understand both the young and old, the Christians and the Muslims, the poor and the wealthy, the Northerners and the Southerners, the layman and the intelligentuals.

These men are just right and ready even fit for the job!

As governor, PO didn't show any of this attribute you posted but looking at Tinubu, as governor he had people of different ethnic and religious group in his government infact he has shown that people are very important.

I also don't believe a set of people who called for the burn down of Nigeria, called Nigeria a zoo, insult other ethnic groups, threatened other ethnic group of there lands are now behaving like patriots and that they mean well for Nigeria.

Thanksful:
So why are Yorubas after Igbos for not supporting Tinubu?

Do what you preach

Remember the Yorubas have always been abused since 2015?

The poll was conducted with less than 1000 people, so I see no reason why one should be happy about the outcome.

Me as a person, I don't need much

1) He/She should be able to create a system for power generation and distribution l.

2) He/she should be able to increase the IGR of the country

3) Should always communicate with Nigerians and also be someone that is strong willed

4) Should be able to see the future. meaning he should make policies of how Nigeria would grow year in year in a very rigid way.

In the context of this text, a conventional bank commits haram by charging anything to give me value on the same currency.

The invention of islamic banking wherein they claim to charge on profits instead of on interest has been subjected to scholarly review by finance experts and found to be the same way of calling six or half a dozen. If you take any charge whatsoever for lending me money, it is interest, irrespective of what the lender chooses to call the arrangement

I don't understand you oo keeping money in bank is different from asking for a loan and I don't see reason why bank collecting charges for providing a service which is keeping your money haram.

truthCoder:
Semantics aside, any exchange is both a service and a trade.

Anything that involves you giving value for another value is a trade and this occurs in a POS transaction.

You give the person a credit into their account and they in return give you physical cash.

Following this laws, they should not charge you anything extra.

Any extra charge is an haram/riba

You are confusing the words trade and providing service. If you want me to help you go withdrawal money from your account and I ask for money, would you also call this riba or me taking interest?

When you go to get dollar from banks you say you want to buy dollars right? but do you tell POS people you want to buy naira?

These are two different things and you should stop misusing them.

truthCoder:
A bank must not charge interest or service fees if they follow this principles.

Islamic banking was set up to go provide an alternative to the status quo although its concepts are at best deceptive in that they dont charge interest via percentages but charge fees on profits.

Anybody who charges any extra on same currency is haram based on this concept.

If you give a bank 1m, the bank must give you 1m back. No charges whatsoever. Any charge reduces your 1m and is therefore haram.

BTC or USDT withdrawals involves transaction costs and this is technically haram if we follow this concepts.

We cannot call some items haram and try to excuse others especially when they are both similar in parameters

Yes collecting extra charges for same currency is haram, I never doubted that but collecting charges for performing transactions is halal. These are two different things one is me providing a service to you which I have to be paid for while the other is me trading same currency with you which is haram.

The difference between conventional banks and Islamic banks is that while the conventional banks make money through interest Islamic banks makes money through investment in asset and also the share of profit and loss.

truthCoder:
lol

I deposit 50k into my Nigerian bank account, they charge me different charges. At the end of the day, i am able to only access 49,800.

This happens in islamic banks too as bank charges in the grouse of sms alerts, stamp duties, maintenance charges, atm withdrawal charges etc are all general.

Banks are business organization and people create them to make profit. So these charges are allowed as they are money collected for providing a service. Same with a person who does ajo, he/she would collect a percentage for providing a service to you.
Islam is not against this, what Islam is against is interest rate collected from paying loans.

Also on the concept of 'hand-to-hand', permit to explain if the MD of the banks must be the person to hand over the cash to all customers or the ATM machine (which was not existing when your assumptions were made)?

How do you plan on handing over BTC and USDT 'hand-to-hand'? I am sure your founders never imagined a day would come when money would become virtual.

Cheers

Using hand to hand there doesn't literally mean that there has to be physical contact but what it means is that the bank manager shouldn't ask me to pay more to get the new note.

Like I said earlier, trading doesn't have to be done in physical contact but that doesn't mean that you are to cheat or add interest to what you are trading.

For example if I want to get BTC, I should get it for the price it is worth in the market with my USDT, if the seller is adding interest, then it is haram. same way I should get yhe price of dollars for what it is worth in the market.

This is the little I know.

SmartPolician:
You are wrong. INEC people are the professionals. You and I have access to the media, but many unenlightened people don't care. They just wanted to come and register.

We know the difference between transfer and registration because we read news. Lots of people out there don't give a hoot about news.

People who don't care about news have a right to vote too, and it's the duty of the INEC official to tell them how to go about it. This is a no-brainer.

The registration for PVC started 2019 but most people didn't bother to register till 3 months before the deadline would you blame that on INEC?
Imagine closing by 3, begging people to come register for 3 years and they refuse to register then suddenly everybody wants to register at once in 3 months would you have time to ask if anyone has registered before or not?


My mom and her friend registered in 2011 but they couldn't get their card but when the went last year, they told the officials straight that they had registered before, there records were checked and my mom's information wasn't in their database but her friend information was till there.

Lets be real here and blame ourselves first.
I registered online in 2020 but didn't go for the physical capturing till 2022 when the rushing started and when I met the official, she said they were told to do only new registration and she was visibly frustrated I saw reason with her and new I was at fault.

SmartPolician:
Although the INEC personnel in charge of that office said that the issue was double registration, I blame INEC for this.

I knew this was going to happen someday.

If someone comes to register, the first question they are meant to ask them is if they had registered somewhere before so that their details would be transferred.

Unfortunately, nobody asks probably because they intentionally want to disenfranchise people. It takes an enlightened Nigerian who listens to news all the time to know the difference between transfer and fresh registration.

Sadly, no matter the amount of violence anyone applies, it won't change anything. The law is clear - if you register twice, you won't get a PVC; it's as simple as ABC. INEC made that clear several times last year.

But it was announced in the news several times that double registrations would be cancelled. So the people are to be blamed. You can't blame an official who was overwhelmed by the crowd for not asking you whether you have registered before or not, rather you are supposed to check if your first registration was till valid on the CVR site yourself.

I think it would be better for PO to step down for Christopher Imumolen. He his young, has no corruption case or allegation.

ican2020:
Copy the second most unlivable city in the world

The world has already become a global village thanks to internet and if people can copy pictures of cities in other countries and claim it as Tinubu’s achievement someone else can copy good examples from these countries too and replicate it in their own domain

Stop this nonsense narrative and grow up

Actually it should be a shame that of all the 36 states and FCT, only Lagos is seen as a City.

mactoni91:
Please I'm looking an apartment to rent around Shasha/Egbeda or Ejigbo axis

2 bedrooms flat precisely.
500k/annum.

Lagos Agents are just collecting 3k without bringing anything.

call this number if you don't mind
08062192224

Stop deceiving yourself, nobody is stoping anybody from collecting there PVC. This is how you people post fake news and when it causes problem you hide and blame it on politicians.

PO as a governor
ASSU went on strike for 6 months

Doctors went on strike for 13 months

But people are saying he's the best.

You see that this election is not about voting the right candidate rather it's voting the criminal you believe in.

UyaiIncomparabl:
Design or SE?

SE. I have just little knowledge about it.

ibrahimoyeboade@gmail.com

This is normal and even small comparing to the US. Infact, the US number runs into thousands.

If this is true, it is a very good move.
If he his found of any wrong doings, I hope his supporters don't defend him blindly and if he his found of no wrong doings, I hope his accusers would let us rest.
Because he has been investigated several times.

funshint:
So why will you give an highly technical contract to a company that has no history or experience of executing such project before in the first place? Don't you feel something is seriously wrong somewhere?

I understand you. I was just asking him to give a proof where Tinubu collected 13% from contractors.

Naira20:
I'm interested in Lagos and I discuss what I know.

First, I'm not privy to the contract.
Peter Obi would have cancelled it if he sensed some anomaly. Hence, it would have been stopped.
Peter Obi have spoken about contracts cancelled during interviews.

However, same can not be said about Tinubu.Who would award contracts to his cronies and has grabbed 13% of choice lands in Lagos.
.

He gave an instance to his claim, you should also do so too.

This place can serve as
New movie location for producers
New tourist site
These are things that grows a state revenue.

Please do you have idea about FAAN SALARY? LEVEL 8

I know FAAN AVSEC officers Level 8 are paid 150k but I don't know if its the same in other departments.

freshyabstel:
See my brother calm down, 1million in Nigeria's economy today, with all sense of humility is nothing. most of us here have that and we know its nothing, i know someone who bought a slot for 3million and he recovered that money within 6months in the job. and if you have a business idea that 1million can kickstart that would fetch/generate 15%-20% interest monthly pls let me know. because that's about the equivalent of the monthly salary of Immigration, excluding chuwa chuwa oh. wake up to reality bro, getting a job in Nigeria, especially a good job will wipe away poverty from u for life. imagine getting a job in NLNG, NIMASA, NPA, NNPC, NMDPRA, NCDMB and the likes, my brother u don hammer be that, its just a matter of time, 2-3years in the job you should be a multi-million. some of them pay as much as 1million monthly FYI. Na money wey u wan take start business be that oh. looool LWKMD.

NB; I have nothing against starting a business.

I agree with you. I am currently doing my IT at FAAN (AVSEC) and what I have seen has made me conclude that one can be a millionaire working with the FG.
