Truly Edo can not be Lagos

Amaechi was there for only 8years.. apc lagos has been on this project for 20years even with federal backing for 8years.

Why did Amaechi not finish his in Rivers for 8 years?

How durable the lights were and the roads that were lighted?

That's a mistake. Edo has no good road but commissioning Street light. Dey play!

From page one to number 3, na Agbadorians full am, hear me out ye Agbadorians, Edo state is locked down for Peter Obi, Edo State Politics different from The rest of the state, y'all keep wailing, e go shock una.
We nor dey take nonsense.

People must be foolish to come and celebrate this nonsense. Isn't it their obligations to do all these things. There are some things I can't celebrate, most especially this. For just ordinary street lights people are celebrating.

You folks should stop comparing Lagos state with Edo or Anambra state, they do not share the same economic profile. Stop forming village champion. Compare yourself with fellow mega profile cities across the continent like Johannesburg, Cairo, Rabat, Nairobi and even your fellow West African neighbours like Abidjan.
Johannesburg doesn't compare herself with Undeba, Johannesburg knows she's the economic capital of SA not Undeba, Cairo doesn't compare herself with Alexandria and others mentioned don't.
Only Lagos is rubbing shoulders with states she naturally has comparative advantage over. It means you ain't competitive, you are lagging amongst your peers

Don't compare Lagos state with those other places because those don't have their FG taking money 90% - 99% of the revenue from their seaports and International Airports which is one of the reasons why Lagos state is building its own seaport and .international Airport..

Lagos state shouldn't be able to compete with Akwa Ibom, Cross River, Bayelsa, Rivers, Delta states.. those are the states you're suppose to be mentioning alongside Johannesburg, Cairo, Nairobi, Rabat..

Lagos using 20 years to build railway. Corruption won't allow lagos be great.

Amaechi has built 3 in less than 7 years.

Comparing federal and state government project realys hows how daft you're.

seunmsg:
While Lagos state is commissioning railway and building Eko Atlantic, Edo is commissioning and celebrating 6km of street light. And they told us Sanwoolu is not working and Tinubu has pocketed the destiny of Lagos while Edo is not Lagos and free from the slave master. The joke is on those that allowed themselves to be deceived into electing this corrupt, incompetent and shameless clown for a second unproductive term.

It seems you don't have a family to enjoy Xmas with. Because if you do, you won't try to be engaging people in fracas today. It's Christmas, bozo! Now go perch with your people and leave Nairaland fracas today. Kadoso Mutairu aka seunmsg!

Why Amechi no finish PH mono rail in 8 years?

Edo no be Lagos truly in Akesan village in Lagos a king will light up street even landlords are doing 8km street light


Why didn't Edo vote Eze iyanmu

Ambode didn't touch the Lagos blue line rail because of the issue he had with Fashola.

All Nigerian politicians are thieves not one among them is exempted, is either they steal or they use their proxies as wives, children, siblings, friends etc to steal. I don't blame them a people deserves the leadership they get.
The Wickedness in Nigeria stinks to the heavens, we need repentance from it

ehissi:


First of all, I am in Edo, benin city to be precise...

Second, the commissioning is a symbolic push of the "Light Up Edo" project, which is tied to a power plant built by the state governor...

It's beyond lighting up streets, it's part of an electrification project which the governor is making investments in, using the state built Ossiomo power plant to light up local communities and critical government agencies.

Third, anybody who knows the governor of Edo state and is resident in Edo, calls him by name given to him by Omo'N Edo.....The wake and see governor....He hardly involves himself in inaugurating infrastructural projects, because he believes that is his duty by default!!

There should be no fanfare in doing your own duty, to which you are indebted to the people, that is his policy.

Most of the time, it is when the state wants to collabo or sign memorandum of Understanding with private sector on certain projects that he gets involved, that's why some of his critics used that to call him the MOU governor.....

For those who are in Edo, benin city to be precise, come and tell us, when street lights were placed at ring Road, the very centre of benin, did he commission it?

When Sapaele Road from ring Road, up to First junction was lit up, did he announce it?

When stadium Road, and ring road to Ekehuan road by stadium junction was lit up, did he commission it?

The main Road leading to Ohovbe quarters from agbor Park junction, inside, when that Road was tarred, did he commission it?

Ekehuan Road nko? That has been tarred and dualised from ring Road up UNIBEN ekehuan campus to asoro junction, when did he do party that he tarred Road? Of which na gele gele port force that project to be rushed.....

Those in Ugbowo, UNIBEN students whey dey here, come outside, I have not being there in a while but I am aware before you went off, 19th street up to police station Road, that bolt and uber refused to enter because it was too bad, was graded at one time, did they play jingle or cut tape to do that one?


Come to GRA, many the streets in GRA, from first Ugbor, Gaius Idubor which connect second ugbor Road to Oko Central to much of the Erosion beaten road in Oko Central, did he cut tape for all those roads?

If not that APC pundits and their paymasters are at work, wetin bring PDP campaign slogan from the last election "Edo no be lagos" here?

If you want take a swipe at the governor or criticize him, use facts and not electoral slogans that are reminiscent of the bloody defeat that PDP gave to APC and that dwarf that was sacked from trying to install himself as a godfather over Edo state treasury........

Fellow Nairalander,please take a look at this......

https://www.nairaland.com/2883517/governor-ambodes-light-up-projects

Exactly what Obaseki is being cursed for today is what Ambode was praised for yesterday, why?

Because Ambode and his successor continually hugged their godfather and allowed him free access to the treasury, while Obaseki dared his own and damned the consequences, that's why Whenever he does anything, he is a fool and a sinner, but governors from Lagos state are wise and are Saints.....

ABEG MAKE UNA LEAVE AM FOR US LIKE THAT!!

At least this one dey on light for street, no be like una governor with una Godfather, Baba Emilokan whey dey off both light and camera for lekki tollgate before they killed innocent protesters and called them criminals........

This Obaseki whey you see so, no dey suck blood like Sanwo Olu and Baba Emilokan.....

When RCC junction, on sapele Road was causing life threatening accident, the good people of edo protested, Obaseki came, addressed protesters and they sent contractors on ground to do some work there.

Currently they have raised and graded the other side from the sapele bypass coming to town, work is slow but we are seeing the reward of protest.

Recently, the governor demolished properties near Ogheghe area, citing the area as government land that was encroached on and re-acquired via court order, the good people Edo went to protest at state secretariat, they went and came back no casualites.....

Thats the type of human being we need, not the one with his political godson, trying to raise a townhall, different, from.........

it will never be well with you and your generation for clearly supporting a failure because you get peanut from him


I curse you this day, may your life be miserable just the way people suffer in Edo as a result of obaseki foolishness

It is you and your lineage that will reap the reward of a baseless and causeless curse that you raised and not me and my generation,....

I have made my statements, I am in benin city, I am not a faceless troll on nairaland speaking based on nothing....

You can't even dispute one thing I have said, it is to be placing curses upandan like a failed native doctor without shrine na e you sabì......

Talk where you dey for benin or Edo make we know how far......

How many years pensions and salaries did Oshiomole owe as governor? My late in-law was working as a nurse attached to primary health care centres in Esan land, for 15months no pay, she had to resort to loan from lapo to buy drugs to be selling drugs to patients at cut throat prices to survive.....because no drugs dispensed there
.
Go there now, from Ohordua to Igueben, to Ewohimi, is Obaseki owing them?

Oshiomole increased minimum wage from #18k to #25k, at a time when he was even owing 13months wages and didn't even pay it!

Obaseki increased it to #40k, and is paying them without delay and you are hear typing trash like Baba Emilokan whey E hand dey shake!!

The only complaint I am aware of from civil service staff is his high level of financial shrewdness to the point where financial imprest for offices that they used for minor expenses like newspapers and DSTV subscriptions was stopped (everybody tune in to NTA, EBS and ITV)......aside from that, no issue, so what is the colour of your problem?

No let me swear for you oooh!!

Is he perfect? No!! Even Peter Obi as governor of anambra was receiving salary while resident Doctors went on strike in his states for 13months over poor wages, but today his financial prudence and savings kept the state in hard times when HIS SUCCESSOR took over so forget it.

Every administration has its own priority, the one he is doing so far, I and countless thousands appreciate it and if we no like as things dey go, we protest and he listens, that's okay.......what is now wrong with him flagjng off "Light Up edo"?

Abeg Park well.......

Ambode commissioned "Light Up Lagos", the whole of Internet is littered with editorials even a nairaland thread was dedicated to praising Ambode for doing so, obaseki did "Light up Edo", he is a cursed criminal; una know where E dey pain una.....

Dey compare lagos to Edo, do you know the IGR coming out of lagos state on a monthly basis? Is Edo state anywhere close to what lagos generate in a month in terms of internal revenue?

Of which, on top of that lagos states, hold 98% stake of all debt owned by all 36 states in federation. Na that one you wan compare with Edo state?

You no know where E dey pain you......

Where are the group of Edo no be Lagos,

With god father politics, Lagos far better than those other states without god father.

I want God father in Lagos politics. Street light commissioning by a governor, so disgusting and shameful.

Salute to Lagos State.

As e dey pain LAGOS, e dey sweet EDO!

Obaseki is a MUMU man. Very shameless thing.

It a sin to get endorsement from wailers and ipob terrorists. Obasekis governance life was not worst like this before ooo untill when he becomes their breadwinner.

naptu2:
Screenshots.

For all those Edo guys on Twitter responding to Obaseki, telling him it is shameful to be commissioning streetlights, I thought they happily chanted that "Edo no be Lagos"?

When we were telling them that year, dem no hear! Now, their eye don clear!

My mother is an Esan indigene and I grew up and lived in Benin for 11 years with my grandparents before we relocated to Lagos in the 90s. It's so appalling how Obaseki and PDP governments have fared in Edo state.

Till date, Oshiomhole is still the most progressive governor with many infrastructural developments in his tenure.

Let the Edo people lament and enjoy "Edo No Be Lagos" till the next election cycle. Perhaps by then, they will have a brain reset and vote in the progressives.

Edo no be Lagos true true...Lagos don leave Edo behind with streetlight commisioning while Lagos dey commission Blue and Red Railway line.

Too bad!

Are you minding them? The people from the east that joined them in the Edo no be Lagos chant during that election simply because they hated APC and Tinubu are nowhere to be found now. They won't come online and blast Obaseki for disappointing his people. They aren't progressives and they certainly don't care if governors they support fail in their promises. They only care about the people and party they hate.
The same thing may happen in Osun if Adeleke fails to deliver...let's watch and see.

Wickedfacts:


You thought he was a Messiah because you were daft. Didn't we warn you guys?

You allowed those stupid ipob pigs who have Ikpeazu ruling them to influence you. Now, your Governor is behaving like Ikpeazu and you are crying.

And that's the same thing that is happening with the forthcoming presidential election. The easterners have sold Peter Obi, with his bad scorecard in Anambra, to them and they have swallowed it hook, line and sinker.

I weep for my mother's state... anyways, we don't have any more ties there. All close family are now in Lagos or outside the country. Only project work has taken me to the state since the 90s.

SMH!

Edo people are very welcoming and hospitable people. Unfortunately, they have welcomed the wrong guests and those Igbos are just playing them like mumu.

Anambra people don't send Peter Obi because they experienced his failure first hand, but most Edo people carry am for head. I guess most Edo people are not that politically savvy to sieve out pretenders from contenders.

Okay, so where has your special and different politics taken Edo state since 1999?
See where your different politics has led you to...your governor is commissioning streetlights whereas others are commissioning flyovers, schools, specialist hospitals, railway lines and stations, rice production mill, setting up world-class airline, etc.

Hyping and reinforcing failure....vote for Peter Obi...na the state go go down the drain Las Las.

You're a poor and wretched Igbo. It is only you fools who celebrate nonsense after they have given your mothers kerosene to drink.
Wealthy Igbos know who they are supporting and it is not that promoter of poverty called Peter Obi.

You paupers are the ones that full ipob, constituting a nuisance everywhere.

the population is the more reason why the infrastructure should be better than the infrastructure in Johannesburg.

Akwa-Ibom and the other states I mentioned are oil producing states and have access to the sea, also have adequate farming space and good soil,

Akwa-Ibom is the mega-city for the Ibibio, Anaang, and Obolo - Oron...

Are you saying the Ibibio, Anaang, and Obolo - Oron people don't deserve Johannesburg level of infrastructure in their home state

Infrastructural development is not by population...

So I'm the one that doesn't get you..

A State Governor, of an oil-producing state, commissioned street lights, on a 7-kilometre road, with so much fanfare!!!

This is the kind of projects that Councilors, Local Government chairmen and Commissioners of Works commission in states with far less Federal, 13%, and other special allocations! In fact, I know states where private individuals, using their personal funds, commission street lights.

Governor Wike, hate him or like him, commissioned many legacy projects, Obaseki commissioned street lights! In Year 2022!!!

Edo State missed it big time when they voted this clown for a 2nd term. Everything Adams Oshiomhole said about him had come to pass.

Only if voters could see the future- they were busy shouting 'Edo no be Lagos'. The same Lagos they all run to, as place of refuge, when they encounter trouble! The same Lagos their investments are located. The same Lagos their Governors worked before becoming Governors (the likes of Victor Attah, Godswill Akpabio, Udom Emmanuel, Godwin Obaseki, Chris Ngige, and many others)...

Shame!
