Don't take the APCshit and Thief'nubu 's urchins serious... Th6ry are liars who tell lies more than Satan himself....

Just look how serene Lagos was before Tinubu arrived from the streets of Chicago and introduced the politics of drug induced developments all over Lagos...

A thief from Iragbiji who had nothing is now the ownr of Lagos.... Thief'nubu's miscreants are nothing than liars from the pit of hell...

This op is daft angry so, any long bus is BRT abi? Bunch of ignorants!

BRT is a system, an organised system. Not just about long buses. Tinubu created LAMATA which is the body responsible for the establishment and the operations of BRT's and the coming train services. Furthermore, he transformed the state's internal revenue generation which is the reason for the state's status as the wealthiest state in Nigeria today.

His three successors that you credit for their great achievements today were all under his payroll and you hypocrites would have held him responsible if they had failed.

For you fools mocking Tinubu, he remains the builder of new Lagos. You can go and kill yourselves.

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 blocks, 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.

Just admit you're ignorant, bigoted, simple-minded and lacking in knowledge. What next will you people do? Present pictures of Lagos in 1806, with a population of 1 million, to malign Tinubu?

As an exposed citizen of the world, I personally understand that the main problem of Nigeria is the lack of ability of her youths to think critically, intelligently, innovatively, effectively and without ethnic, religious or sectional bias.

Elsewhere in the world, youths may conclude that making every State progressive and productive, in a populous nation, is the way to achieve national development.

In Nigeria, bigoted and ignorant youths like this OP sit around all day looking to find ways to discredit the smallest State in the nation productively hosting her biggest population, 23 million people, because they have more devotion to their ethnicity rather than to what/who is best for societal development.

This is why I am a big fan of regional governance today. Igbo man says Obi is best ba? Let him be your regional Premier.

Northerners too should adopt Atiku. He can rule the North from Dubai.

Yorubas will be happy with Tinubu who delivers world-acclaimed and spectacular solutions rather than rhetoric or excuses as other do.

This is a photo of Lagos Municipal Transport, an equivalent of Today's BRT.

It also further dimishes the notion that Tinubu built Lagos.

What was in LEPZ before Tinubu?

What was The Palms (Shoprite)?

What was Eko Atlantic?

What were the earnings of a typical Lagos state worker like?

Did they have a scheme for home ownership?

Was there a dedicated bus lane?

What was Yaba like?

Please stop these lies.

1. The Palms, Lekki is a privately owned entity.

2. Eko Atlantic is also a privately owned entity with investors coming from different countries of the world. The Lebanese Chaugory Group is the local overseer of the project.

3. Every government in Lagos had scheme for home ownership. The Jakande Estates you see in Lagos today were certainly not built by Tinubu.

4. Tinubu DID NOT build the BRT lane. Fashola did. Please DO NOT ascribe Fashola's brainchild and handiwork to Tinubu. It's not right.

I'm waiting for you to refute your own claims and make corrections so you don't mislead the unsuspecting public.

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).

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.

Spare me your sweet tears; I hate ants around me. grin

I waa referring to Nigeria*, as a whole.

Soooo, your whole point is to say population is the cause of Lagos' (and Nigeria's) developmental problems?

What is the role of the Government if not to adequately utilise resources and improve human capital, etc?

Both countries that are bigger and smaller than Nigeria are doing well; why not us?

Leaders "do perform" miracles, please. Almost everything in a country is dependent on the kind of leaders it has at helm of affairs. If you do not believe in the contribution of good governance to a country's growth, why are you involved in politics at all and campaigning for Tinubu? Why do you bother with the mantra of Tinubu turning Lagos State around for good?

Indeed. When you then advise them to try and improve themselves they begin to throw insults and tantrums.

Imagine the near illiterate idiocy of presenting a neat bus from Lagos, probably 50 years ago or older, as "BRT" when we all know Ghana and many African countries have appreciably come to understudy the current BRT model Tinubu and Fashola delivered?

Nigeria has gone backwards, in my opinion, per literacy, unity and goodwill for our fellow Nigerians.

Now we are simply a largely ignorant, bitter and angry people primed to undermine, sabotage and frustrate ourselves because of ethnic, religious and sectional differences.

That is what led this OP to create this thread today that is simply the most unintelligent attempt at anti-Tinubu mischief likely driven by bigotry.

I truly believe Nigeria is hopeless and that the SW must attempt to save herself. When a nation consist of many who can no longer give credit where due, because of primordial ethnic, religious and sectional bigotry, it is time we go our separate way at least administratively.

It is the reason Yoruba leaders are agitating for what is shown below.

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.




Thats when Obi and other poor leaders had not come into office. After they came into office, they mismanaged the states and caused high unemployment rates in Anambra and rest. These led to mass exodus from these failed states to Lagos. This led to population explosion in Lagos thereby causing degeneration and degradation of Lagos streets. Agbero then increased in numbers.

That is my point you are too bigoted to understand.

If you are not a sadistic hater and bigot, should it not be obvious to you that lagos and her administrators, starting from Tinubu who led exemplarily from 1999, deserve commendations and support to replicate the success of the State at national level?

You forget Lagos is the best and most exemplary State in Nigeria that Tinubu and his successors made the 5th biggest economy in Africa.

This is despite Nigerians flooding into Lagos in their thousands daily and swelling the population of the State from around 9 million when Tinubu took over to circa 23 million today.

I don't understand why you are all so malevolently obsessed with Lagos.

How can a nation with 36 states and over 360 ethnic groups make progress when most Nigerians prefer to flee their state of origin for Lagos only to then begin complaining against the administrators of a state that has given them a far better life than that they fled from? 36 States and only one above par State.

Please let us adopt regional governance so we can all go and lead ourselves and remain in our States and regions of origin.

Fck 'one Nigeria' that is just a term for tribalistic ingrates to ignore their oppressors and relocate to better States, where leaders are more responsible and effective, rather than remain at home to demand good governance.

Nothing spectacular has been developed since it became a Lagos State owned and the federal Capital moved to Abuja

As an exposed citizen of the world, I personally understand that the main problem of Nigeria is the lack of ability of her youths to think critically, intelligently, innovatively, effectively and without ethnic, religious or sectional bias.

Saying this nonsense to me while your lots are denying the toll gate massacre and Tinubu was asking, "what were they doing there?"

You know how many potentials were cut that night? Abi how many youthful financial growths have been arrested by the government's indiscriminate bans on social media, and monetary channels?

Ori e ti gbale. undecided

Progressive, youth-loving fellow, my ass.

PointZerom:


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.
And some people want to vote for him on the basis of that lie.

Infact that is his biggest campaign point.
