StagethemTVee: Dele Momodu has advised the Governor of Lagos State Jide Sanwoolu to visit Berkane, a city in Morocco to learn tips on computerization of the public service system . He shares a few insights that he has observed on his visit to the Governor's office in Berkane.
The kind of expectations people have on black leaders sef.
I understand the limits of black intellectualism. That's why I am never disappointed. Even if they uproot the Moroccan system to Nigeria, it will die a natural death on the hands of mediocre Nigerian "experts".
DWJOBScom: They won't It will reveal Oluomo's boys activities It will expose easy free dishonest money shared around. Peter Obi should rather go and look at it
Dele have finally agreed that Lagos is a glorified slum wia people fall into drainages during training season although Thiefunubu hijacked an abounded city Lagos built by the military for economic benefit he only successed in creating an Army of agberos and looted the state to stupor now Lagos is the highest indebted state despite is high IGR what u find in modern day cities can't be found in Lagos yet some idiots of the federal republic want him to be president it can't happen never lighten does not strike twice on same spot
Lagos matter will be the end of you laslas. To think that Lagosians don't even know anything about your cvrsed state or care. Why are you obsessed with theirs? Wọn fi ṣe ẹ ni?
Uncle Dele is simply telling Mr. Governor to learn from Morro, he didn't abuse Mr. Governor na. This is just simple thing and I believe uncle Dele likes Mr. Governor that's why told him d raw truth but I trust d urchins they would always twist d whole thing. After all, when Mr.Obi went to Egypt to study about their power system, some applauded him and some criticised him
Obi submitted GCE to INEC. Obi had F9 in English. Obi 1st Degree issued on Saturday. Obi NYSC is issued on Pubic Holiday May 1st. Obi got 1st Degree before GCE. Obi no go school.
Zonefree: Watch how Agbado urchins will now come and call Dele IPOB.
Lagos is just built on lies. Nothing is happening there.
That is constructive criticism, and it is a welcome development for government to thrive for the better. Dele Momodu is a sensible person unlike your people who are always toxic in their assertion
Lagos is where majority of your kinsmen whether business, political, religious leaders are made and majority of them are not gnashing their teeth like you commoners who are crying day and night to bring them down in the name of politics in which you are not a placeholder.
Mind you, Obi also lived in Lagos before becoming Anambra governor

Too many olodos in our public space uttering garbage that sounds like intelligent words without scratching deep. Are Moroccan children in unregulated private schools because the governors like Sanwo-Olu and his godfather loot money for hiring teachers & other workers for free public schools, something that Awolowo and Jakande did for Lagos state when they had very little IGR, allocation and no loan? Thiefnuibu wants to continue the almajiri breeding of Buhari next year with his Emilokan south west agenda (SWAGA). Who will let him do that
Realdeals: 1. The first governor to present a billion Naira state budget in Nigeria.
2. He phased out the shift system in Lagos schools in three months. He built functional classrooms to absorb those who only attend schools for three hours a day.
3. He opened up what is now known as the Lekki Corridor.
4. He built the biggest Housing estate by a state government at Abesan, along with five other estates.
5. He built LASU, LACOED, LASPOTECH and Technical schools to absorb the products of the free education policy.
6 He built General Hospitals and Health centers in all the five divisions of Lagos. He also upgraded General Hospital Ikeja to the Medical arm of LASU.
7. He created the Agric hub at Oko Oba. He also created similar hubs in Ikorodu, Epe and Badagry.
8. His government’s strict adherence to the party manifesto of Free Education, Free Health care, Rural integration and Housing for all, along with other UPN governors, created the largest pool of human resources in Nigeria.
9. He moved the Lagos State Government Secretariat from PWD to Alausa, which he built from scratch. He also lived in his personal house and drove his personal car throughout his tenure.
MathsChic: Some days ago, I was at a secondary school in Surulere (across the bridge from the Island) in Lagos for a friend's event where he is educating secondary students about the perils of peer pressure. I honestly wasn't expecting what I saw as the state of this secondary school. It left me wondering if this was a school or a dump yard. Why in heaven's name are Nigerian leaders looking the other way while the young ones study in this sorry environment?
The attached pictures are what I saw. This is no secondary school. It's a hopeless shanty. I hope this gets to front page and attracts the necessary attention.
Okay. Not exactly what he said. But that is exactly what he implied. How much is the minimum wage of Lagos state civil servants? He seems to be out of touch and his statements are highly irresponsible!
Governor Babatunde Fashola battled hard weekend, to justify the astronomical hike in tuition fees recently introduced in Lagos State University, LASU, by the state government. Recall that the state government had increased tuition fees paid in the university from N25,000 to N250,000 per session.
Fashola, who spoke at Government College, Ughelli’s, annual luncheon party in Lagos, said Nigerians were unconsciously making the country one where there would be separate schools for the rich and poor.
According to him, critics of the increment are indirectly calling for a Nigerian society which will be divided into poor university for the poor and rich university for rich people.
He said: “Countries that do not prioritise education are always at the mercy of those who place a high premium on education.
“Where in the world have we seen tuition fee of university of N25,000? You cannot find this anywhere. Even the nations that are developed and wealthy do not give education for N25,000.
“LASU started very well and over the years, the population grew and beyond the available facilities and the school began to deteriorate. We are determined to rescue LASU and we will not make it a school for the poor.
“We are unconsciously making Nigeria a society where there will be a school for the rich and one for the poor. “Several people in this country pay so much for education abroad while the schools here continue to deteriorate. It is only in the university that the children of the rich and children of the poor can sit in the same classroom.”
Lagos matter will be the end of you laslas. To think that Lagosians don't even know anything about your cvrsed state or care. Why are you obsessed with theirs? Wọn fi ṣe ẹ ni?
They are not only obsessed with Lagos but also extremely ignorant. All of them. From leaders to followers. It is the reason there are no ideas coming out of their States of origin.
Dele Momodu has thrown them Banana and they have swallowed it like the brain dead monkeys they are.
How dificult is it to 'computerise' a city with a population of 109k people which is not even as populous as some small local government in Lagos?
Some big estates in Lekki , like Osapa London are, are probably even more populous than that. Abeg what kind of asinine comparison is Momodu making that mischievous ignoramuses are applauding?
This is why I view these nuisance lot a hopeless people. Every reaction from them is always driven by hate, complete ignorance and malice towards others without even minimal capacity for logical thinking. Clowns.
It is very instructive to note that, of all the 36 states in Nigeria, this PDP man inadvertently admits that it is only Lagos that comes close to being a digital city and has the capacity to achieve it.
He did not call the states of the Chief Unifaya and the Chief Liar, instead he is calling the state of the Agbado master, isn't the Lord beautiful?
You guys have said it all. Thiefnuibu's criminal enterprise of a rogue empire in Lagos is propped up by propaganda and lies. No more no less.
itubaba001: Lagos, the commercial hub of Nigeria, has been ranking as one of the worst places to live in the world for the nine straight years, a BusinessDay analysis shows.
Data from the 2019 Global Liveability Index published by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), the world’s leader in global business intelligence, shows the city has been within the range of 137th-139th position out of a total of 140 cities in the world from year 2011-2019.
A 45-year-old resident and father of three, Mr.Fatai Lamide told PUNCH HealthWise that no building in the community has toilet facilities.
The Oyo State-born mechanic said, “We don’t have toilet in this area, including our compound. This canal that you see serves as toilet to all of us living in this area. We defecate inside nylon and throw it inside the canal.
“For people that don’t want to use nylon, they have a special bucket that they use after which they pour it inside the canal too.
The lack of state-owned pipe-borne water in the homes of Lagos residents has continued to be a source of concern, a non-profit group, Corporate Accountability and Public Advocacy Africa (CAPPA) has said.
At a press event to mark this year’s World Water Day, the group said its monitoring team’s visit to state-owned waterworks showed that most of them are not operational.
The group said the waterworks it visited include the ones at Maryland, Mushin, Ikorodu, Obalende, Agbowa, Onikan, Ikoyi, and Amuwo Odofin.
Only the one in Ikoyi is producing water, according to CAPPA.

Besides, what is the population of the Berkane, compared to Lagos? What's operative in a small city cannot work in a big city like Lagos, and New York.

Besides, Berkane is a City of 109k people compared to Lagos of 23 million with a prohibitively and cumbersome high population density.
Too many with the brain of Apes walking around in Nigeria. The reason we are not making progress to be honest.

And how does Nigeria compare to other countries like UAE/Dubai that got independence in 1971? Or Singapore and Malaysia? Or India, Pakistan and Bangladesh that were independent in 1947? Why do you like comparing yourself to the worst scumbags of the sample? Is that how you make personal progress or just Stockholm syndrome affliction manifesting

If you are not ignorant as you allege of others, won't you have taken note of the IGR, allocation and loans of Lagos compared to this Berkane

Don't mind them. Very populous cities, with high population density, have serious intrinsic challenges.
If not Mumbai, population 20 million, would be the 'smartest' City in the universe given how India produces some of the finest IT brains in the world.
Too much pervasive and unproductive ignorance in Nigerians.
If you are not ignorant as you allege of others, won't you have taken note of the IGR, allocation and loans of Lagos compared to this Berkane
You're the lousiest Nairaland I know so I will never have your time. A broken record who has not grown progressively, even one tiny bit, over many years now.

SB2020: Interesting facts about Addis Ababa and Lagos light rail projects.
Addis Ababa / Lagos Cost == $475Million / $1.2Billion Length == 34km / 27km Time to Complete == 4years / 7years (projected) Year Awarded == 2011 / 2008 (Construction began 2010) Contractor == China Railway Eng. Corp (CREC) /Chinese Civil Eng. Constr. Coy (CCECC) Population == 5Million / 20Million
Ethiopia has managed to deliver Sub-Saharan Africa’s first modern light rail project which opened in the capital Addis Ababa on Sunday, and in the process, beat Lagos whose own rail project remains four years behind schedule.
Ethiopia’s rail project was delivered on time, despite its being longer than the Lagos – Badagry rail line currently under construction.
Addis Ababa’s two line 34-kilometre system was built by the China Railway Engineering Corporation (CREC) and cost $475m, 85 percent of which has been covered by China’s Exim bank. The Lagos Light Rail Project or Blue on Badagry Expressway, was to have 13 stations from Okokomaiko to Marina via Iddo for a total of 27 kilometres.
The contract was awarded to the Chinese Civil Engineering Construction Company (CCECC) at the cost of $1.2 billion in 2008, and was to be delivered in 2011. Survey work took one year between August 2009 and August 2010 while construction began July 2010.
The work is being implemented using the public and private partnership (PPP) model, whereby the state builds the infrastructure and the private sector provides the rolling stock and management. However, the project has not worked out according to the plan. The 2011 deadline was missed, even though the State government got a loan to fund the project.
Splashme: The first civilian governor of Lagos State, Alhaji Lateef Jakande, on Tuesday, said that the cancellation of the Lagos metroline project in 1985 was a major mistake and disservice to many Nigerians.
Jakande spoke in Lagos during the launch of a book which chronicled his life in politics and journalism.
The book, entitled, ‘Jakande: Leadership in Action’ is written by Dr. Bola Olaosebikan, who told the audience at the event that the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), was not responsible for the cancellation of the project.
Jakande said, “Reflecting on the metroline project, I think it is a major disservice to many Nigerians. Imagine how many people would have benefitted. It would have made life easier and changed the face of transport in Lagos. Whoever cancelled it or gave the advice towards its cancellation didn’t do right.”
The former governor asked Nigerians not to vote for unserious leaders in the coming polls, saying the elections presented Nigerians with a good opportunity that should not be squandered.
Expressing the hope that Nigeria would soon overcome its developmental challenges, Jakande said hope would be actualised faster if credible people emerged as leaders in the next dispensation.
He said, “This book comes at a very auspicious time in Nigeria’s history as we need leaders who can act. We need leaders who would not compromise the standards of good governance. God has blessed this nation the most in Africa, although we have not reached where we should be; with the right leaders, Nigeria would overcome its challenges.”
Lagos light rail’ll be ready in June – Fashola January 9, 2013
The Lagos State Governor Babatunde Fashola on Tuesday said the first phase of the state Blue Light Rail project would be completed by June this year(2013).
He expressed confidence that Lagosians would start enjoying the services of the rail project immediately.
The first phase would run from Marina and terminated at Okokomaiko area in Ojo Local Government.
Fashola spoke during an inspection of ongoing projects in the state which took him and his cabinet members to Orile-Iganmu, Alimosho and Ejigbo areas among others to assess the level of works being done by contractors.
The governor, who inaugurated the trackwork of the blue light rail at Alaba Suru, Coker-Agunda Local Council Development Area, said the level of work on the road and those of the National Theatre and Alaba-Mile 2 rail stations, would ensure early completion
He said, “In order to finish the project, the contractor did not go on vacation during the festive period. This will ensure that the project is delivered on time for the use of Lagosians.
“The first section of this rail, which started from National Theatre, Orile-Iganmu to Mile 2 Bus Stop, would be fully completed with the tracks laid.
“Construction work will continue on the project from Orile-Iganmu to Marina, the expansion work on the road from Mile 2 to Okokomaiko will also be intensified.
“This is what we do with the loan collected by the government. We don’t use our loan to pay salaries and other recurrent expenditure, what we do with our loan is to provide capital projects that would serve the residents.
“When the project is completed, the state would be at par with other major cities of the world.”
what does this man know about politics!he is a bloody journalist that cant even win his ward election!is this the man that would advise sanwoolu on what to do?a man who won election as a state governor?he is talking rubbish!he needs to say the trash to his pdp govs!!
