Siddon there make pant dey wear you. All your Tinubu, Fashola, Ambode and probably the incoming Sanwolu couldn't construct and complete blue rail line systems from mile 2 all the way down to Badagry for 10 straight years while other countries you are forming giants for have completed theirs in record time. Come to our area and see what that useless project has caused us,

lagos is one of the poorest mega city in the world. stop comparing lagos with those small African countries with populations of less than 5 million people. compare lagos with mega cities in other developing countries like Johannesburg, Cairo, Mexico city, New Delhi. lagos is a complete mess with no major transit system. infact lagos is 1 of 2 other mega cities in the world without a mass transit system

I always wonder why politicians make these big empty statements.... but from the general comments I an see why....people open their mouths wide and just swallow....hook, line and sinker.
How much did Lagos grow in 2018? Does the IMF set the agenda and budget for Lagos to predict it will grow by 4%? So regardless of what Ambode does/does not do...Lagos is going to grow by 4%. Lagos.... one of world's top tourism places.... really?...no numbers? These guys just disrespect the masses.

In 1886, the first electric underground railway system was opened in London, England

We are here celebrating a routine railway track that will still be on narrow gauge (an outdated rail system)..
we are really behind in this country

I want to believe the Akwa-Ibom State Government gave reasons why the stadium can't be used, thereby providing another alternative for the campaign.
Honestly, there is no need to heat up the polity.
All the best to all the candidates as Nigerians go to the poll.
God bless Nigeria and Nigerians.

You’re ignorant!

In America, people get arrested just for being associated with a criminal. You’ll get accused of the crime then it’s up to you to prove your innocence. America is not the heaven you see on tV. The USA is a very fucccked up place especially their criminal justice system!! Don’t be fooled.
