Who's she by the way

suffering:
I have no idea who he is.

Bluntguy:
She's a DJ

She’s more than just a DJ…

She has a master’s from NYU and is working on another one from Oxford…
And she has a charitable foundation that feeds IDPs and gives out scholarships.

Nonetheless, it’s okay not to know everyone or everything…
Learning is a LIFELONG undertaking, so we learn new things at any opportunity.

How people go survive?

Insurance!
Such a simple concept that befuddles most Nigerians. SMH

lkillbrokehoes:
The only good thing NIGERIAN have is our musicians.

No, it’s not…
Nigerians are also thriving in the IT/tech space, literature, fashion, movies, etc.

Perhaps we need to differentiate between Nigeria and Naija…
Primitive folks in Nigeria are stuck killing themselves over the soon-to-be-irrelevant oil loot, while Naija folks are forging ahead!

Mr point and kill,how about those living in Ikorodu and the likes?
Government for the rich only.

This same Ikorodu or is there another one?

bigstan11787:
The way these governors rush to commission roads like it's was done with their persons money.

Virtually EVERY project in Lagos has signage that reads “Your Taxes at Work”!

When many of you speak we know you don't even stay in Lagos ...World class indeed

KingAzari:
You say what? You don't stay in Lagos... do you?

BlackfireX:
Lagos is a glorified slum...

Basicend:
Those clowns don't live in Lagos. Don't mind them.

lexy2014:
World class in what way?

MayorWhales:
Swears

The reality is that the best of Lagos is competitive with the best anywhere…

Sadly, so is the worst of Lagos….
But that is substantively no different from the ghettos in the Bronx, Queens and even Brooklyn sharing the same city as Manhattan.

Development is a PROCESS and not an event…
And perfection should NEVER be the enemy of improvement!
______________________________________

PS: Btw, one cannot run away from one’s shadow, and accordingly Lagos will remain burdened by paucity of the rest of Nigeria…
Many of the shortcomings listed above (airport, electricity, police, federal roads, etc.) are NOT controlled by Lagos, but by “Nigeria” (the FG).

In addition, because most of the rest of Nigeria are light years behind, their residents flood into Lagos and overburden its infrastructure…
Eg, those Northerners (and folks from Mali, Niger, etc.) who arrive in cattle trucks, where do you think they live, crap, dispose of waste, etc.?

Gerrat I am more Lagosian than you are , I took my first breath in life right by Lagoon in Ikoyi , took my first step in Lagos, spoke my first words in Lagos , earned my first salary in Lagos , made my first one million in Lagos , made my first 10m in Lagos, bought my first property here, pay healthy tax here from time to time ...I am more Lagos than any body in your lineage

Good for you…
Most other states, they won’t even let you buy land, much less build property. EKO O NI BAJE!

That Adeola Hopewell has been an eyesore since for over 20 years. I wonder why it took them over 20 years to fix that road. The way they work on Victoria Island is very shameful. One major road in every 4 years. It started with Adeola Odekun. Next Ajose. At some point they abandoned Bishop aboyode cole until major companies started smoking dust before they fixed it. Then they remembered Ligali Ayorinde which still floods till today. Next they said it is time for Akin Adesola after years of cleaning gutter. I was shocked when they eventually remembered this Adeola Odekun and Church gate street.

All these projects done in VI 20 years can be completed in one year by a serious govt. But in this part of the world, we glorify mediocrity.

Who knows maybe it will take another 4 years to remember Sanusi Fafunwa and Adeyemo Alakija. Victoria Island is commercially too big for all these pimpom projects.

anthropizzy:
Sanwolu likes to show off. In sanwolu's mind now he is achieving and making milestones with road reconstruction and rehabilitation abi?
S. M. H

Because constructing VI roads is the only thing the Lagos government has to do?

I guess he should ignore light rail projects, General hospitals, rehabilitating schools, free education, social housing, water transportation, training/upskilling teachers, empowering entrepreneurs through LSETF, security, 3000km of bandwidth infrastructure, etc.? SMH

BrashMan:
This state has all the resources to be a country of its own, but one particular thief has stolen everything for himself and the idiots who are supposed to hold him accountable, are busy hailing and defending the thief while they are suffering. If you talk, they will tell you to face your state. Meanwhile MC Oluomo's children just graduated from University abroad while some of them are ok becoming agberos and vulture grillers. This glorified slum of a state with fake life and fake everything is what someone is calling a world class city.

I wish your eyes can be opened to see the amount of IGR- which runs into hundreds of billions monthly-that is being looted by the frog eyed thief and drug baron.

No governor in this contraption is really working, but Lagos alone can sustain itself and even assist other states like Ogun if the resources were judiciously managed.

Bunch of mediocres everywhere.

If you really want to see “fake life and fake everything” go to Los Angeles…
Meanwhile, perfection should NEVER be the enemy of doing good things. Eko o ni Baje!

rexwalters:
Shameless Governor & system of Government, commissioning inner city roads, shouldn’t that be the jurisdiction of the Local Government Iru/Victoria Island? Victoria Island that The Federal Government has already developed before I was even born?

What kind of nonsense is this, he left Alausa just to come & cut Ribbon in Victoria Island, Yet later mumus on Nairaland will say President Buhari spoilt Nigeria?

And you think since the FG left Lagos 30 years ago in 1991 that the roads do not need to be upgraded?
That’s the sort of mentality that keeps IPOB-land, Arewa and many parts of Nigerian trapped in the 19th century! SMH

Ceenachi:
Good job Governor Babajide Sanwoolu
God bless you Sir
But Are there no other roads in Lagos State?
Why is it that every time, only roads in Ikoyi, Lekki, Ikeja etc that always appeal to the administration? The roads for the common man are not deserving construction or rehabilitation

dingbang:
lagos or the island only. Why arent they fixing mainland?

goody234:
So many roads in surulere ,ojota ,ketu yaba mushin need to be reconstructed etc ..don't only concentrate on that big swimming pool called the island o

These are the real people who “don’t live in Lagos”…
Roads in Ikorodu, Epe, Badagry, Navy Town, Amuwo Odofin, Alimosho, etc., are being constructed or rehabilitated.

Your financially stunted family did you no favours either.
You think repeating same words makes you intelligent?
A farm tool is more valuable than you.

Don’t you and CRUDE PRIMITIVE family have RAPING AND KILLING to do today?
You are obviously excited by the “attention” of anonymous folks on the Internet. SMH

Aidejay:
Just like this building, many of the things the colonialists built have continued to exist and in one way or the other but suffocating the life out of Nigerians.
E.g Nigeria itself

You should be more concerned that many buildings by Nigerians are collapsing up and down (many even before completion)….

MASTERCHIEF0847:

CHILDISH, UNCOUTH, LIMITED - and MISOGYNISTIC…

Some of you may remember the picture below from a few days ago when the Commissioner of Police Imo state, Abutu Yaro, paraded over 20 men and claimed they were IPOB/ESN members arrested in a Hotel in Orlu. He also claimed that the owner of the Hotel was sponsoring IPOB. What they never told you is that the security forces invaded the Hotel, randomly arrested the 20 men, burnt the Hotel down, burnt shops around the premises, and moved further down to burn the home of the owner of the Hotel. All this after investigating and clearing the Hotel owner of any wrong doing. Story is below

https://punchng.com/kyari-irt-probed-cleared-me-of-sponsoring-ipob-says-owner-of-imo-hotel-burnt-by-security-agents/

What does that have to do with what Abba Kyari is accused of by the FBI?
Instead of wasting money SPONSORING irrelevant stories, dude should be hiring lawyers!

Good. You don't know if they are killers or not so shit your fvcking mouth. Na all of una hypocrites be de problems we get for this country. Shut your fvcking mouth before thunder go descend on u now.

Yes, unlike you PRIMITIVES, I do not kill nor condone the killing of people who I don’t know are killers…SMH

Keep moaning bitch. Your f.ather is as crude as a caveman including your muscular m.other with hairy arms.

Your CHILDISH insults is merely further proof of your limited intellect and CRUDE family background…

MASTERCHIEF0847:
I have a better upbringing than anyone in your miserable family lineage including you clown.
Like i said , go fvck yourself.

Crude, uncouth, primordial and limited…
Proof the fruit does not fall far from its CRUDE PRIMITIVE roots!

Seniorwriter:
Useless Party mongers without any iota of futuristic plans to better the life of the citizenry.

Exactly!
WE NEED YOUNG VISIONARY LEADERS not old sickly leaders in Nigeria.

@SENIORWRITER

We simply need “visionary” leaders, PERIOD!
The “youth” of many Nairalanders has not stopped them from being tribalistic, criminal-minded, or visionless.

MASTERCHIEF0847:

Agboriotejoye:
Yawns. Where was your moral compass when soldiers said they received no orders to protect innocent citizens

What drivel are you babbling on about?
What has murdering INNOCENT folks have to do with the ineptness of said soldiers?

So (for example) if doctors say they received no orders to treat gunshot victims…
It means that PRIMITIVES should go out and barbarically murder INNOCENT beings?!

While I have no personal knowledge of the alleged “no orders”…
It is NOT mutually-exclusive to condemn BOTH the soldiers and these MURDERERS

Chepos1:
There are 1000 ways to die in this country.
This young man's only crime is going out to find daily bread, WTF!

Abegi blame the BARBARIC ANIMALS who murdered him…
Instead, many Nigerians will blame “this country” to justify/excuse BARBARISM!

ComrdDRS1:
Those guys were killers

proclinician:
How did you even know that the persons listed here did not partake in the killings directly over the years?

How do you know they did?

You folks will be the same wailing about Nnamdi Kanu or Sunday Igboho…
Or telling us UGM/ESN suspects were simply innocent people going to buy pap! SMH

Penguin2:
I commiserate with the dead.

They didn’t deserve to die for the sins of others.

But where did they stand in the crisis while they were alive?

Did they condemn the many attacks of their fellow Fulani people on innocent indigenes?

Or they went to get briefing on how to resume their own killings in Ondo?

You know God has a way of working mysteriously.

Did you interview each of them to know their “stand”?
And btw why should ordinary citizens have to have a “stand”?
Have you yourself published your own “stand” in national newspapers?

If the “god” you worship sanctions the MURDER of INNOCENTS…
Then, there’s nothing “mysterious” about its CRUDE BARBARISM!

Agboriotejoye:
Toh. Fulani murderers Vs Jos indigenes. 1-1 goalless draw

MASTERCHIEF0847:
Nobody has monopoly of violence. Fulani jihadists take note.

Sirkingsnado:


Kill them all

All Fulani are terrorist

DISGUSTING, DISGRACEFUL AND DESPICABLE that some people are celebrating the MURDERS of INNOCENT people…
Only PRIMITIVES think it’s proper to avenge the murder of INNOCENT people with the murder of more INNOCENT people

Dagger111:
The person above me, God will not forgive you o, u stole my FTC. However, i won't blame them as this is what is circulating amongst us below:

SOCIALISM: You have two cows, and you give one to your neighbor.

COMMUNISM: You have two cows, the government takes both and gives you milk.

FASCISM: You have two cows, the government takes both and sells you milk.

NAZISM: You have two cows, the government takes them and kills you.

CAPITALISM: You have two cows, you sell one and buy a male. You multiply your cows and there is economic growth. You sell them, you retire and you live on your profits.

MODERN CAPITALISM: You have two cows, you sell one and buy a male. You multiply your cows and you buy those of your neighbors. The latter become your shepherds, you pay them in monkey currencies and they die poor.

AMERICAN SOCIETY: You have two cows, you sell one and you have to make the other one to produce milk like 4 cows. By dint of producing beyond her capacity, she dies. You take a consultant to understand this death.

FRENCH SOCIETY: You have two cows, you go on strike because you want a third.

GERMAN SOCIETY: You have two cows, you modify them so that they live 100 years, eat once a month and treat themselves.

CHINESE SOCIETY: You have two cows, you sell milk to your compatriots and you produce plastic milk to export to the rest of the world.

BLACK/ AFRICAN SOCIETY: You have two cows, you eat them all the same day and you dream that donors or the international community give you others. You turn to God and hope for miracle cattle. You fast 40 days and 40 nights without eating or drinking so that the cows will fall from heaven. At the end, you die in extreme poverty.

One of the things that kept SLAVERY running for so long was that many slaves (house negroes) bought into it….SMH

Racoon:
Lawlessness is inherent in the DNA of most Nigerians especially Lagosians. I cant believe Iganmu Bridge area, Obalende under bridge etc can be that spacious and clean until the task force cleared those areas.

Most of those people are NOT Lagosians…
