This country sef.

Olden days come look more developed than the so-called 21st century. Are we moving backward or forward?

See as everywhere clean, organised. There's literally no much difference in the infrastructures and technology of those era (pre-1999 Nigeria) from that of the industrialised worlds of today to me, but somehow, somewhere we got it wrong, smh, and we're here still grappling with the second industrial revolution, and attempting to integrate into the third one.

And some may attribute those erstwhile growth to the military government, but are the developed countries of today necessarily the way they are under a dictatorship?

I just pray we get it right with Peter Obi, because if his drafted manifesto is anything to go by, I am impressed with and looking forward to him solving these issues and simultaneously launching us into the fourth industrial revolution.

It is honestly so very promising, and bubbling with high hopes (for everything about ourselves and our welfare).

God bless PO, and God bless and keep the country in one piece enough 'till the new wave of change blows hither.

If not for Lagos that made Tinubu what he is today, he would have remained at Iragbiji doing what his people are known for..

Maybe tomorrow If Abuja becomes a state one idiot will crawl out from his hole and tell us he made Abuja what it's ....

Tinubu should stop ridiculing himself with that idiotic narrative he's pushing that he built Lagos... It's making him to sound foolish !!!

Sometimes I am tempted to say that the free education from Jakande and Awo is a curse to some urchins.

Lagos was the federal capital for almost 100 years only to be developed by a certain coward in 1999.

Lol. You tribalistic mischief-makers are never intelligent. Obidullards I call you is very apt.

BRT is not about buses alone. It is also about lanes that buses alone can use that allow them to get passengers where they wish to go quickly and efficiently in Lagos.

That is what Tinubu and Fashola's BRT drive was about in the most populous State where people need to be moved about quickly and innovatively.

Unless you can show exclusive bus lanes existed in the era that picture was taken in, when population of Lagos was likely 5 million or less, then shut your own thread down.

Coming here daily desperately trying to use deception and lies to discredit a Presidential candidate who has devised the most innovative and effective solution for his geographical jurisdiction, since 1999, is low of you guys and not the way to sell your candidate.

What you are doing just shows that you cannot promote your own choice based on their achievements and abilities.

National politics is not "Buhari is dead and replaced by Jubrin from Sudan" level of childishness. That rubbish is only effective in IPOB land SE.

Point of correction, please:

1. IBB did not build the third mainland bridge. It started under Murtala/Obasanjo, military government. IBB commissioned it. It started under the second national development plan.

2. The Metroline project initiated by LKJ, was cancelled by PMB in his military tenure as head of state. The cost then was put at N20 million, at the equivalent of $1 - N0.5. For every dollar you had fifty kobo. Na this baba scatter am.

3. Before Lagos Municipal Transport Company, there was Osinowo transport, with the popular Marcopolos buses. LMTS became LSTC (Lagos state transport company).

Cheers.

This is no fault of any Obidients. Y'all made it seem like BRTs (the buses) were so revolutionary and innovative a concept. grin

You guys, times without number, have said how BRTs are the idea and developments and governmental achievements of Tinubu.

He even called Lagos State a jungle that he transformed, so for that reason, go and swallow 2 kilograms of ice block, because these kinda 'normal, but demystifying' pictures will not cease to exist and to show up from time to time BECAUSE of the narrative(s) you people are peddling.

Try and improve your own personal intellect by broadening your general, political and socio-economic knowledge.

That picture does not look younger than 1970 when Lagos population was 1.4 million approx.

You want to compare to today that Lagos is estimated to be accommodating 23 million folks?

The more of us who are informed and capable of solutions provision then the better the chances of Nigeria.

Yet the more of us who derelict our citizens duty, refuse to educate ourselves minimally, only to hope some leaders will perform miracles for us, then the more Nigeria will continue to move backwards at the speed of light.

Why is the Pandora fraud using Lagos infrastructural edifices as the face of his caimpaign poster?, what about his Amambra?.. C'mon, you & your leader have got no shame.
Meanwhile, the senerity Lagos witnesssed at the time was because it had not been overpopulated by economic refugees from across the Niger.

Stop disgracing yourself.

Typically, a BRT system includes roadways that are dedicated to buses, and gives priority to buses at intersections where buses may interact with other traffic; alongside design features to reduce delays caused by passengers boarding or leaving buses, or paying fares from wikipedia.

When you d*lts are always doing the same to Obi, rubbishing him and asking what he did in Anambra State, posting ghetto pictures and fake statistics and whatnot, TENACIOUSLY choosing to NOT stay on issue-based campaign, e dey sweet una abi?

You neva see anything.

Don't worry, na our turn today, and it's "do me, I do you." I know one biased ***** is already somewhere cooking up a misinformation to spread about Obi in the next few hours, just like TonyeBarcanista, Wwwihy, seunmsg and the rest of them have been doing.

We don't have tanks to spare in gathering your tears, please; cry in moderation this time, abeg, and take this in good stride as you see am.
