foolish confused hypocritical stupid people!
Your reverse psychology won't work on me. It may work on illiterate IPOB youth not us. Ambode's defeat in the polls was your loss not ours. You lots push him into his demise.
Sanwo-Olu is our man, you bigots should deal with it. Cry me a river.

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!

This is a big lie. Construction has been ongoing for the past 2 years plus. I pass there everyday and it’s always busy with CCECC. the facts are there anyone can go check. The rail has passed Eko bridge over the water to marina. All sorts of innuendo against Ambode’s Legacy.

I don't know what all of you criticizing Obasanjo for his alleged failures and "hypocrisy" think you're achieving: whatever he may or may not have done during his 8 years as President has absolutely no bearing on the correctness of his assertions about Ambode, assertions which would still be correct even if they were being made the devil himself; or do you think the truth of the statement "2 + 2 = 4" depends on the character of the person making it?

By all means have at Obasanjo for his many, many flaws as a human being, but don't deceive yourself that in doing so you're poking any holes in his argument (not that your rants will achieve anything more than giving you an outlet for your personal frustrations, seeing as its highly unlikely Obasanjo spends his time on Nairaland going through his mentions ...). The fact is that Ambode displayed misplaced priorities right from the start of his governorship, and his neglect of the rail project was just one of many such examples. To the extent that Ambode retains any support on forums like this one, it comes mainly from people who don't even live in Lagos and who don't care how the state is governed as long as the person they're backing is seen as somehow against Tinubu, never mind why that might be.

Will this ever be possible with our gluttonous executives and most especially lawmakers who want to do ordinary renovation of senate building for N37 billion ($105 million). Now that amount almost match what could be used to build a rail line few decades ago.

Dude we never ready anything. If not 9ja would be a massive IT/ICT hub. Developing apps, doing IT jobs at cheaper rate than even India, cornering a big junk of the international market sector online.

Just take ICT, healthcare, arts/culture and tourism sectors alone. Drastically improve security, give visa on arrival to most Western countries and see tourism sector boom. Promote Nollywood & film crews from across the world will be coming to film in Nigeria. Consolidate existing tourist destinations.

Connect these places with fast trains. Travelling from Osun-Osogbo sacred groves to see ancient Benin moats/ramparts will be a doddle. From Yankari Game Reserve to ancient city of Kano will be within a few hours of train travel. Instead of losing healthcare manpower to other countries. we can become a medical tourism destination.

A few billion dollars of stolen oil money can achieve all the above.

So you think only men seeking prostitutes will come? Many will be couples and families.

Morocco & Tunisia have free visa to tourists from many Western countries. I have enjoyed it many times. No prostitutes ever wanted or needed.

In the 1990s, some people in Nigeria opposed GSM because they thought armed robbers will be using it to communicate and operate more easily. grin cheesy

So roadside food & petrol bottle sellers were using mobile phones in Cotonou years before big men began using them in Nigeria.

Always harness the positive and strategize against the negative side of things if needs be.

No wonder he was commoted

Ambode may have been removed for good reasons by the person that brought him.

However, Obasanjo should shut up his mouth on the claim that Ambode made Buhari to commission an uncompleted Bus Terminus.

We all witnessed this old man at the tail end of his administration commissioned Papa Lanto Power stations without gas.

4 yrs after, Jonathan too came to commission same project.

Baba should stop talking bcoz he's part of our problems.

Read my first post before I posted the response to another person's comment. I clearly stated what needs to be done first to make it conducive to tourism.

There's prostitution in Thailand but tourism is still vital to their economy. As insecure and notorious Nigeria currently is, even visa free won't attract patrons of prostitutes. grin cheesy

Have you been to Thailand, tourism is important to their country but at a high cost to the moral and social development of the country. Thailand is known as the sex capital of the world for a reason and the consequence cannot be imagined. I will rather forgo the benefit of tourism, than the crazy prostitution going on in that country. When mother openly sell they children for sex and young men become ladyboys for foreign tourist.


The only tourist that will be brave to patronise Nigeria today will be foreign hustlers and sex tourist. Nigeria has a terrible reputation in the international community.
