How could he have dissolved regions when there were regional governors

Nigerians are not so smart. Some people out there still think Goodluck Jonathan ruled for 6 years when it can be easily googled

Who were the military governors reporting to? Was it not the centre? If the governors were not autonomous but reporting to the centre, it simply means they were practising a central government.

Even though, they were called Regional governors.

The hitherto Regional Governement Headed by Premiers had a large degree of autonomy.

Possibly, but don't forget the guys who make the cells are different from the final assembly plants.

Ibeju Lekki axis of Lagos is said to be corrosive, things rust faster there. I have also heard takwa bay is like that too

Ikosi area in Oregun is even corrosive. Dangote salts has messed up that area.

I don't know what wrong I've done to First Bank Plc. The bank has not paid me dividend on the shares I've with them for many years now.

I still got alert for dividend from First Bank this week.

Vivien458:
ah, I think gen is cheaper. I see 24kva for 1.1million. and one of my friends told me that he mixes water with his Lister gen and it lasts

Fairly used gen. Fairly used gen has its risks.

The Israelis should think twice. Hezbollah of the 90's is not the same Hezbollah of 2021...

And you think the Isreal that dealth with all them Arab nations, to the extent they all scurried away with their tails under their legs back then in the 60s is still same Isreal?

Isreal is even more potent and deadlier that the Isreal of those times. The Arab league through their greed and selfishness are more weakend now. Isreal has broken their ranks.

All lies. You say 6 ak. But na 3 dey d pic..

U say u recovered 6 bodies. Why show 1...


Mtcheww.

We kno who go win dis fight...

We know. We also know the ones running and hiding.

Emyogalanya:
At least they will use the stolen ones for a start

Not the stolen. Official govt funds.

Winnerforever:
They are turning on corrupt politicians and their murderous thugs . Use your brain next time or borrow one.

Continue cheering them up. Rest of mind, peace and development always elude an area involved in a conflict of attrition. Libya and Syria comes to mind.

Sunnycliff:
Does it matter? Will he enjoy peace as a governor??

If a governor does not enjoy peace and feel safe, is it the people that will feel safe?

AfonjaConehead:
Does it make sense to you that Fashola who spent 8 years didn't complete the project but here you are heaping the blame on someone who spent only four years and was kicked out by your tinubu god,how intelligent!!!

You Lilliputans ascribe too much influence to Tinubu. Tinubu as a smart man simply flows with the sentiments of the people per time and it has been working for him.

Ambode was kicked out by majority of his party members. Slowing down the pace of work on this blue line was one of his many sins. And I'm glad about that.

The lessons have been well communicated, Sanwo-Olu is not slacking in completion of ongoing projects or being cynical to projects initiated by his predecessors.

Jerryherd:
You are talking about two different projects, and two different rail tracks

FG standard guage rail

Lagos redline light rail metro rail

Lagos played smart here. The red line will use part of the Lagos Ibadan tracks, instead of having to build new tracks.

Moreso, its not as if train will be plying the Lagos Ibadan track every minute so it makes more sense to look for a way to make it more useful.

blamingthedevil:
What Sagay should understand is that Red Line Rail is already in place as done by Federal Govt. Lagos State is just leveraging on existing infrastructure done by FG on Lagos- Ibadan Railway line by providing additional Rail Stations at Oyingbo, Yaba, Oshodi, Ikeja, iju,alagbado etc and Places where FG did not put Stations on the Lagos-Ibadan Railway Line.

Also Lagos State Government will provide it own red line coaches in addition to FG coaches plying Lagos to Ibadan, while Lagos Coaches will only stop at Agbado or Ota

Lagos State Government will provide additional infrastructure of Pedestrian and vehicular bridges as done in Agege over the lines.

It is a smart move by Lagos State Government under Gov. Sanwo-Olu.

Much progress have been made on the blue line with bridge crossing the Lagoon completed down to outer Marina on Lagos Island. The blue line is almost 90% completed.

God Bless Gov Sanwo-Olu
God Bless Babatunde Fashola
God Bless Ambode for abandoning the project
God Bless Bola Ahmed Tinubu
God Bless Minister Amaechi
God Bless President Buhari (Mr Infrastructure)
God Bless Lagos State
God Bless Federal Republic of Nigeria
God President Buhari

Thanks for the clarity brought into the report.

The project has been confusing me since I read the report and observed the little work Lagos was doing around Yaba.

AfonjaConehead:
..he's busy fixing Ambode's and Fashola's mess but it's Ambode's fault!!!!

Once a mufutau always a mufutau.

Yes it is Ambode's fault.

With the right planning and funding, he would have completed the blue line in his 4-year term. All I heard during his term was some bogus company with ties to France he was touting to operate the blue line. The line you did not accelerate work on.

There are so many housing projects of Fashola that Sanwo-Olu is now bringing to completion. Does that make any sense?

How on earth will it be Sanwo Olu that will be completing Fashola's project, even when another governor spent 4 years in btw.

buckeyemedia:
Highly illogical assertion, na Federal Government dey grant Certificate of Occupancy?

It is generally known as state issued. But I've seen C of O of some properties in Victoria Island issued by the Federal Government.

SmartyPants:
They've not admitted any wrong allegation. They've apologised for not petitioning the ministry first, before the senate.

As you would see, should you deign to read the text, the substantive facts are admitted by the minister, who merely claims to have been following procedure.

Enice:
following procedure in which year, 2011 or in 2021? twist and turn people,

Is a Minister of Works not an office in perpetuity?

Minister of Works saying he was following procedure in release of funds for a project doesn't necessarily mean the person of Fashola.

Infact, the person making the submission before the senate may not even be Fashola, but a representative of the Minister of Works.

The responsibility of a Minister in a contract is not personally borne by the person occupying the office.

seanfer:
The PDP and foot and social media soldiers will abandon this thread now that it’s known that their Master paid 151 million for job not done.

They abused Fashola and Buhari to no end on the previous thread. Claiming they are fighting fake corruption fight, yet, it was still under the GEJ admin that the money was actually paid.

Maxymilliano:
They are not even conscious of their environment sef, see how he camera dem effortlessly in a shameless act. Gluttons

Helmet cam

aadoiza:
Size at this level matters less if you lack the requisite skills to match it. I don't know the nikolai guy but Fury with that size plus that level of skills should cut through josh like butter.

Joshua is 6.6 Fury is 6.9.

Whats the big deal?? Joshua is a well rounded athlete. My money is on Joshua.

Una never finish Blue line oh

Emzenoz:
this guy is a betrayal...

For coming out to defend himself and clear his name?

iampeterben:
With all the proposition and amendments twitter still carries their headquarters to Accra, Ghana. What a shame to the leaders of this nation.

Shame to the entire country. The so called Leaders are from among the people.

Nigerians are the problem of Nigeria.

Each region or state should get at least 50% revenue gotten from its coffers.

This should apply to all inflows from petrol dollars to VAT/CIT, inflows from customs, solid minerals, etc.

melaniaup:
It's better this country return to regionalism or break up. Cause when you talk of South, there are different ethnic tribe in South and every of their top notch elite has their ethnic people.

Nobody is a slave to another ethnic tribe.

South West,

South East

And South South which has many ethnic tribe in them

So please for peace without much bloodshed or less progress let ambition be drop them.

The North has more tribes than the south.

Its the cunny southern people that conveniently always portray the North as one tribe.

JohnieWalker12:
Its what you sow that u would reap. Nigerian Government has failed all of us with no future for us and our generation unborn. Government make una enjoy the music

Its the people that will face the music not govt.

Kids everywhere. They always think it's gobt that suffers civil unrest /breakdown of law and order.

LexxoManny:
It all boils down to politicians stealing huge billions means for the redemption of the nation. Only a revolution can turn things around for the better in this hopeless country. Definitely not in our generation or the next to come so if you have the opportunity pack your bags and leave this shithole. YOLO!!

Revolution cannot turn things around in Nigeria. Majority of Nigerians are unpatriotic.

New set of thieves will simply take over. We all saw how it went during the Endsars.

We all saw the people that suffered the most, during the mini civil unrest.

ivandragon:
This piece is dubiously written & seems to be an attempt to redirect the blame for the present scarcity of Nigerian passports to other sources rather than the fact that it is this present administration that is incompetent.

How can the contract be almost for life when it is clearly stated that it has been renewed about 3 times?

While it is good that Nigerian passports be produced locally, it is the dubious nature & poor planning culture of this administration that has led to scarcity of passports & not because of the existing contract.

STNL has a contract to produce about 6m passports & while the exact number of passports produced so far is debatable (about 4m+), the contract cannot be said to be unfavorable (except in the sense that we should produce passports locally) or for life.

This administration is piss-poor when it comes to planning & implementation but always prefers to blame others for its incompetence.

The solution is simple, allow the existing contract run its course or mandate STNL to produce the balance passports within a specific timeframe or payoff STNL for the balance of passports yet to be printed... How hard can it be?

In the last 20 years in this country, there is no year that passport booklet is not scarce. Infact, it is a regular 'cashing out strategy by Immigration guys.
