Ibeju Lekki has benefitted immensely from the developments as a result of the presence of Lekki free trade zone, Lekki Deep Seaport, Dangote refinery, Lekki International airport, Eleganza, La Campagne Tropicana Resorts. Properties in this area has done x100. My 1.5m plot of land in 2020 is now worth 6m. To think these developments even affected Epe positively in mind blowing.

Records are always there and facts never lie. Lekki free trade zone is becoming a new city employing hundreds of thousands.

The same people who are some if the greatest beneficiaries of Tinubu's vision are now his greatest critics. It was the same thing they did to Awolowo. These people came from the South East to enjoy Awolowo's free education policy in the early 80s but hated him so much.

I think the best thing is for Nigeria to adopt true federalism with a certain percentage of jobs reserved for people in that region. Lets see how some people will survive if they had to go back to their region.

I am not surprised at their behavior. that is why they are disliked all over. very ungrateful, classless and clannish people.

This same free trade zone now hold billion $$ investments for Lagos. This is a man with foresight, he plan and build a long lasting framework that can be continued with successive government.

When we tell these guys why we are supporting Tinubu because of his past succes as goevrnor, they abuse us and compare him with Obituary OR they accuse us of tribalism.

How can you even compare Tinubu success as governor and ability to grow economy to expand revenue base to that of Obi?


Obi invested Anambra's money in breweries and its worth is a measly 50million dollars, Tinubu invested Lagos money in Lekki free trade Zone and its worth billion of dollars.
now they would ascribe Lagos success to the ports but would never see the the efforts of the Lagos government in investments like this that has really helped everybody including them!
they are quick to shout that Ladipo market brings in a lot of revenue for the government but forget that their state would never allow non indigenes to have a market like Ladipo (operated by non indigenes)in their states. if the government did not create an enabling environment for business, , Ladipo market would not have succeeded in the first place

How can you say my judgement is biased, when I lived in lagos and saw something firsthand? How about Ghanaians telling you your choice of obi is biased?
There's nothing special about what you saw compared to other States who also came from behind to be where they are presently in terms of development. Mind you Lagos has always been ahead of other states right before the periods you stated. So that in itself shouldn't be a good reason to support Tinunbu's presidency. You can think of other things but not telling us how Fashola and Ambode transformed oshodi.

Thank you brother,ur reply shows you are wise.. What do you mean by help,I was forced to use my dictionary because I don't think we really understand the word 'help'..
How do you claim to have built Lagos or have helped your people when close to 50%(Not certain) of the state revenues goes to ur pocket..Did yu help the state or helped yourself
To me I think Lagos is a slave to Tinubu because you can't finish helping me and den start to extort from me,its like giving you slice bread and den tomorrow I ask you to give me toast bread..Thank you very much sir

You claim that (CLOSE TO) 50% of Lagos Revenue goes into his pocket…then you quickly added NOT CERTAIN.
Maybe your conscience was pricking you before you added the latter part.
In fact, one can conclude that you actually know NOTHING about the finances of Lagos State vis-à-vis Tinubu’s businesses.
A truly wise person would just shut up rather than concocting untrue stories and trying to pass them for truth.
Learn to do a thorough research before going to the public to spew your vitriolic nonsense, my friend! undecided undecided

I have always maintained Tinubu is highly cerebral and development centric, he also combines that quite well with the dexterity of politics. he is in a class of his own. He is going to be only intelligent president we ever had.

Talking 2023 politics, Obi needs to get stronger in the SS and SE though, it will be to Tinubu's gain. Tinubu will win in the SW,NW, NC.
NE will be a battleground.
The votes differential from SW, i believe will have close to 60% voters turnout with his main opponent in the PDP will offset PDP gains in the SE and SS. Likewise the vote differential in NW will offset PDP NE wins with remainder. NC will be an icing on the cake. The politics will play out in the next 8 months. While a lot can change in a day, i have never failed with the geopolitical analysis of presidential elections.

I'm a Christian, I don't vote for people because of religion. What did Peter Obi achieve when he was the Governor of Anambra state.
If he failed in governing small Anambra State, how will he govern Nigeria without failing again?
Lol Smh.
I'm here reading all you guys wrote.
Isn't it disgraceful you comparing Lagos to small anambra?

Lets compare Lagos to Kigali, to Capetown, and others cities in Africa..

You claim Lagos is the 5th largest economy in Africa and yet it is the worst city to live in Africa.

Oga I won't be comparing tinubu Lagos to anambra... I compared it with Kigali and Capetown and it fell short of expectations...with the kind of money its making.

The fact that he might have one or two health issues, like most grown adults from 40 and above, he is still healthy enough to govern. For Godsake look at how that old man has been transiting across the country making consultation. That kind of movement requires energy sir. And has demonstrated that he has that.
compare tinubu Lagos to Kigali not anambra.

You are quick to remove development of fashola and ambode from Tinubu but quick to claim he suffocates lagos.. If he did they can't not contribute developmental Abi can't you see it in delta state? Or Abia state?

There so many special things in lagos, I only showed u an example with Oshodi, and I stated it there. Again no state has anything that looks like Oshodi interchange or brt please don't ever tell there is no difference. There is a big difference

why couldn't Tinubu make Lagos be like common Kigali? It has the money, it is small etc.

I'm from akwa IBOM and if we had the money Lagos has for over 20 years we will surely be competing with cities like capetown .

Wanna know how I knew? In 15 years we have done alot from lifting akwa IBOM from a common passerby state to one of the top 5 best states in Nigeria.

Many projects in akwa ibom are coming to life.
We have ibom air

We have many factories springing up.
Uyo is clean, beautiful.
With the kind of money Lagos has, we would had probably have an intra state railway.
Go check akwa ibom master plan and u will see wonders.
If we keep going like this, not even Lagos will see our back in 30 years time.
Although I confess Lagos will still be richer than us like it is richer than Kigali, Cairo etc.. but we will be more beautiful, cleaner, developed than Lagos.



Let's not Sugar coat things bro, compared to other African cities, Tinubu failed in Lagos.


And by the way go and check Anambra is one of the least poverty state today compared to others states. I think in the top4 self.

By the way like I said earlier Economically Lagos is far better than akwa ibom and will continue to be...just like it is riches than Kigali etc. But when its comes to real beauty and neatness just like Kigali beats lagos hands down
