You are really pained.
You are in sifia pain and your stomach is bursting out with vexation.
You can't even hide it. Pls don't choke in your pain. Sorry for you.
But how do you actually intend to put them in place after the elections??
By thuggery and molestation?
Such acts will only land you in jail if you are not dead in the act.
People voting for LP are common masses of various ethnicity who are simply tired and want an end to Tinubu's tyrannic and nonsensical hold on Lagos. And mind you, they are doing it legitimately by performing a simple civic duty of voting. Is that a crime?
If you are not a thug, it shouldn't bother you.
Enough of Bad and criminality in governance.

Re: Lagosians, Let Us Recover Our Destiny! by Nauttyprof(m): 2:49pm On Mar 08, 2023
I read the post and I have not seen anything to be done differently by the LP candidate. This only suggests to me that many just want to vote simply to carry out their hate and not because they have reasonably sat down to evaluate things.

Fine, Sanwo-Olu messed up in some instances especially in matters of youth, this is not a genuine reason to make hate push you or anyone else to vote him out.

I read the post and was like it was borne out of hate. If you claim there isn't any infrastructural development in Lagos from the APC government, then, this is definitely not sincere and I won't be supportive of this. I speak to those of clear conscience who irrespective of the wrongs from the Governor can say he truly worked. If I can't say of any, the Mile 2 - Iyana Iba road is enough reason for me to vote him back again. If not, I will suffer an uncompleted project because someone who is coming in newly would want to make name for himself and there would be many abandoned projects.

I read the post and never saw anything differently done. Transportation was mentioned and the solution proffered is just what Lagos State is implementing.

In skill acquisition, Lagos state started this which can only be improved upon.

I just saw more of cheap talks than the sincerity to make any difference.

Truly, there are corruptions going on in Lagos state with the funds. This is something APC needs to correct but I will never give a job to someone who has no records in governance but only using his forefathers' records as basis for him to perform when in reality, we know that humans differ.

Lagos is too sensitive and great for voting to be done based on hate. We will live to regret it later on.

I don't support APC but for this election, I will vote for Sanwo-Olu because he tried despite all shortcomings from him. He deserves my vote.

Thank you for the stories, though I didn't vote for Tinubu last two Saturdays ago, but this coming Saturday, Sanwo-Olu should be rest assured of my vote. Whatever destiny GRV want to change he should go and do it in the south east that he so much cherished and affiliated with, they need it badly there 😌

Now the buyers of your lands are expanding and consolidating, you begin to cry like babies and start constituting go back to your land nuisance. Oga we are in the lands that we bought from you and will live comfortable on it because we pay you completely and even pay extra while building.
