Nigeria is not rich. What Nigeria really needs now is to expand its economic base, we need to have more than 10 solid sectors firing all cylinders, i mean sectors that can employ a lot of people, instead of oil being d mainstay of our economy, build infrastructures from revenues from oil while building other sectors, invest in technical education, cut senators wage.... and we'll be alright.
I agree to all what u said but how do u cut senators wages and who will cut it down?

OBJ has no moral justification to open his mouth to criticize any government because his regime had the highest negative indicators including disobedience of rule of law, it could only be compared to that of Idiamin of Uganda, disrespect the spelling of the name we all know the person

Look at a lot of money expended on that oshodi , yet the project could have been done in a cost effective way..and use the money for rail project.

All over the world rail investment is a money spinner even in a developed world.

This man knows how to criticize, the same OBJ that couldn't account how he spent $16 billion on electricity. Ambode also fumbled, abandoned projects that could have helped Lagos state and Nigeria.

A lot of things worked against Ambode which culminated in his ouster.

This is just one of them.
Neglecting the Lagos developmental/growth blueprint, overambition (wanting to champion a new frontalline Of party men loyal to him as against the Jagaban of Borgu, an obvious affront against the old/devoted party men thereby cutting them off the state cake.

How many can we count.

All In all Na political inmaturity and initial gra gra kill am.
By now he should have learnt his lessons.

For me I would advise him to just go and relax and enjoy his loot. I foresee that if he makes an attempt at a political comeback , his enemies would show him the hidden files they have on him thus nailing him finally.

Coming from a president that abandoned Nigeria as a whole for 8 years


$16,000,000,000

Nigerians will never forget!


A private investment-GSM he claims to be his achievement


Stop falling for propaganda.
That $16 billion doesn't exist.
OBJ's contribution to Nigeria cannot be matched by the Aso Rock general if given a 100 years free ride.

I once saw a documentary that harped that Light rail projects (popularized in America has never been successful in populous cities). It's possible that more than 300M$ has been put into lightrails in Nigeria already. Wow!

WHAT OF EX-PRESIDENT GOODLUCK JONATHAN WHO FAILED TO COMPLETE THE EAST WEST ROAD THAT EVEN CONNECT HIS NATIVE BAYELSA STATE.

HE WAS BUSY WITH THE PLEASURE OF HIS OFFICE UNTIL THE TRICKISH HAUSA/FULANI ALIGNED WITH THE SOUTH WEST TO KICK HIS ASS FROM ASO ROCK VILLA.

For close to 6 years, ex-president Jonathan did not know what to do with power.

He was a confused person with so much money he was controlling at the federal level.

Now NDDC TREASURY has been emptied with the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari ( rtd ) ordering a forensic audit to find out details of the looting.

NDDC doesn't have a treasury, neither does most government ministry.
You can't empty what wasn't there in the budget.
FYI, budget is not treasury. It operates on the receive and spend model.

But u never bothered to ask OBJ these questions when Baba was busy campaigning for Atiku and abusing PMB round the country.

My advice for u is, see all Nigerians politicians as rogues; non should be trusted, regardless of their party's affiliation .

Obasanjo, a pot calling the kettle black! You abandoned Ibadan to Ilorin road midway; you couldn't complete Lagos-Ibadan road; your hometown, Abeokuta didn't feel any impact of your 8-year rule - you failed to complete the Abeokuta-Lagos road: still, you get mouth to criticise Ambode. Never seen anything like Obasanjo's grandstanding and hypocrisy in all my years, I tell you!

And how many rail projects did Obasanjo himself commission during his 8 years as the president of Nigeria.

This old man better keep kwayet
He did not even commission up to 200 km of roads in the whole of Nigeria, talk more of rail.

Obasanjo is the only reasonable leader in Nigeria according to history.
How? Because he is delivering in speeches, lectures, symposiums n conferences what he should have delivered as a president for 8 years?
