The first responsibility of a leader is to define reality. The last is to say thank you. In between, the leader is a servant. —Max DePre

Lagos state with an estimated population of 14,368,000 has a projected yearly growth projection of 8% and with a present projected monthly IGR of N60.31 billion would have made you think would be an eldorado but economic development of a state is not solely on the population nor the IGR but the leadership that controls the affairs of such a great state.

Most of the gains we enjoyed in terms of development as a state came from those who defined the reality of the state and were sincere to the plights of the people. Chief servant of them all was Chief Lateef Kayode Jakande.

His administration was effective and open and implemented the cardinal policies of his party. He introduced housing and educational programs targeting the poor, building new neighbourhood primary and secondary schools and providing free primary and secondary education. He gave poor people's children education and many of them are now very prominent in the society today. He established the Lagos State University. Jakande's government constructed over 30,000 housing units. The schools and housing units were built cheaply, but were of great value. Some of the housing units include low cost estates in Amuwo-Odofin, Ijaiye, Dolphin, Oke-Afa, Ije, Abesan, Iponri, Ipaja, Abule Nla, Epe, Anikantamo, Surulere, Iba, Ikorodu, Badagry. The question is how did he achieve such a great feat with a limited access to resources and the present leadership of the state are yet to come to term to the new realities of leadership - effective leadership is not about making speeches or being liked; leadership is defined by results not attributes.

Lagos is in dire need of a leader that can create solutions that are customised and tailored for the masses and not for a niche of political traders whose occupation is hinged on milking the masses for the gains of their cronies.

Lagos is about to witness a dynamic leadership change as a man with the interest of the land has decided to lead the state to a place of greatness. Henis dubbed as the new generation Jakande but we prefer to keep it simple as Mr Wale Gomez.

Wale Gomez is a thoroughbred lagosian with centuries of rich family history and whose lineage are deeply rooted in the Lagos Island area spreading across Catholic Mission street, Igbosere & Bamgbose quarters of Eko. This means he won't be selling the desires of the land as an outsider but would be totally interested in building the fortunes of the land as a son of the soil.

His educational portfolio is rich as an Alumni of the prestigious St. Gregory College Lagos Island is an erudite academician and astute Business Man who boasts of cognitive trainings across the United States of America and Europe with PGD,FCIM, in his kitty. Leadership of this era is based on emotional intelligence and human cognitive abilities hinged on data and analytics and indeed Mr Wale Gomez is ready for the task of modern governance.

Wale Gomez has often also been compared to the matyr, Funsho Williams, in many ways - mission, passion and dispositions, he is believed to have come to redeem and conclude the aborted emancipation mission of the late Funsho Williams. In similitude to his matyr and fore bearer, Wale Gomez is a silent achiever whose social and political investment is long over due for returns.

He has all these while been meticulously nurturing and monitoring his mission to liberate Lagosians via feasible and affordable welfare schemes that are targeted at restoring Lagos state to it's old glorious status of 'Small London'.

Wale Gomez has tirelessly been mobilising human and material support for the success and progress of the party home and abroad which has endeared many people to see him as the emancipation for the Lagos masses.

Lagos presently is in dire need of a leader in whose capacity is an entrepreneurial politician - one with the ability to create wealth by creating a conducive environment through policies that encourages business activities and economic advancement. Wale Gomez presently directs the affairs of many companies that presenly employs people in their scores and he values the ethics of business creativity and service which would promote many businesses to see Lagos as the only destination centre for their businesses.

Last, Lagos is in need of a leader that can align the various tribes in the state to achieve a Lagos that is for all devoid of sentiments, bickering, bigotry and ethnical hatred. A man with a robust ability to work with many people with diverse background to achieve set goals and objectives.

Mr Wale Gomez is the man that has not only the experience but the heart, art and act to make Lagos indeed become the small London it has always been wired to be. A youth blessed with the wisdom of the aged is indeed the next call for our support as we seek for a change of guard form the parochail and political traders presently managing the affairs of the state.

Wale Gomez - the touch that would lit the darkness of Lagos State.

Tope Adebayo
Writes from Lagos

A former deputy governor of Ekiti state, Professor Olusola Eleka, has condemned the decision of federal government of Nigeria to suspend Twitter.

Professor Eleka, a frontline governorship aspirant under the platform of Peoples Democratic Party, made this known on Saturday in a statement that he personally signed.

Read full statement,

"Leadership is more about the mental attitude and intellectual prowess to see beyond emotional sentiments in decision making.

The decision of the Federal Government of Nigeria, under the leadership of President Buhari to suspend the usage of Twitter, days after the platform deleted the President's Genocide tweet is a demonstration of inept leadership.

The decision is barbaric and bereft of democratic ethos. It is a very unfortunate and intellectual eyesore that in a democratic setting like ours, dictatorial tendencies exist and such inhumane decisions can be made.

The Twitter platform is not just a communication platform for millions of Nigerian youths but has become a source of livelihood, means of getting business customers and clients. It is also a yardstick for feeling the pulse of Nigerians.

I hereby call for the reversal of this ill-advised decision. President Buhari must learn how to accept criticism and respect Nigerians, else anarchy looms, as such decisions will push Nigerians to the wall.

To fellow Nigerians, my message is simple "This too shall pass". Dictators don't last forever and power is transient.

This is a welcome development in my opinion

Ortintin:


My respect for you just drop a point. Can't you correct someone without insult?
I know mentioning Hausa strikes a chord. And since all your friends married at age 11 you should know better.

Calling you simp is no insult, it is who you are.

Are you a man or woman

Strength
Alignment
Money

The man is a senseless man that thinks he can buy love and loyalty of a woman.

The woman is senseless being that thinks a school boyfriend, that probably uses her to catch cruise, will take her seriously.

It was good the man ended the silly arrangement rather than begging and hanging on.

JovialJune:



The earlier you guys stop deluding and consoling yourselves about this bad boy rubbish phrase y'all keep spilling about, the better for you.

That you choose not to accept the truth doesn't invalidate it. No one expect a woman to accept that fact anyway because women say what they don't mean and mean what they don't say. Only simps like OP take relationship advice from women and she-he, and it always end in tears.

Nancystan:
Sometimes it the hubby's fault ,i won't blame the lady. I will definitely do the same to my hubby someday...i feel so lonely ! he don't love me the way i want not even a good sex probably he is having it else that's why he could stay a whole week .i have talked and cried to change buh nothing ..

Nancy, you are cheat on your husband because a hoe, you belong to the street not in a man's house. Unfortunately, your silly husband brought you home without knowing that you will surely return to the street. Stop trying to justify your whoredom

[s]

Bhus21:


Thank you for sharing. Have you tried talking to him? What's the response?

[/s]
Guy, you are a disgrace to male gender. Your wife's stupidity is getting married to a woman in man's skin. Nonsense

bukatyne:


[s]How can a prostitute commit adultery?

I think the your last sentence applies to you and the other poster I quoted.

Justify whatever shenanigans you want to, leave the Bible out of it or quote it correctly.

@bold:
For someone who claims to read the Bible, the recurring Biblical themes of Mercy and Grace clearly skipped you.[/s]

Coming from a silly feminist that doesn't differentiate Grace and Mercy from betrayal. An adulterous woman can be forgiven but must be sent away. I'm sure you are even worse than the useless wife of OP

Bhus21:


My wife is a full-fledged adult with the right to do as she pleases. I do not have control over her and cannot control her agency. She's not a child to be scolded. Yes, I did have strong words with her to impress upon her the gravity of her actions but strong words only work to a point. In fact, the research shows that they very quickly become counterproductive so you dear sir have no idea what you are talking about.

I am indeed working on myself and will be stronger as a result. I just don't just buy these egotistic and toxic tropes many people keep parroting. It simply doesn't work in modern relationships, in fact I'd argue that it never really worked and just leaves men angry, depressed, and unfulfilled. For others who may be going through a similar thing to me, don't be afraid to bury your ego and think logically first before going for a divorce.

Your simping has brought you untold pains and emotional misery to the extent that your wife boldly told you that another man did doggy on her and gave her multiple orgasm, while you cried, lit candle and fooled yourself to pity and not divorce you.

It's really working for you indeed

Matheusmartin:
.
You can be rich, attractive and doing well and still be a simp.

Reading your write up dey make me vex..

Fact... Attractiveness, handsomeness and status don't buy women's loyalty, they only attract them to men. What ultimately gets their loyalty depends on whether the man is alpha or simp.

OP is Grade A simp

AmazonTopaz:

Biko I like nice men.I don't like bad boys don't speak for all women.

Coming from a frustrated old cargo feminist

Bhus21:


I would definitely be more a "nice guy" than a "bad boy". Bad boys don't make particularly good husbands or fathers though. So while the bad boy may be fun, it always ends in tears.

You are not a nice guy, you are simply a weak man with zero self esteem. You have zero self worth, no confidence and no spark. You are boring puppet of your wife and has become so uninteresting to her. This is the reason she doesn't want to remain your wife anymore. Annoyingly, you are still being sissy thinking that somehow it will make her pity you.

She's useless though but I now see why she prefers another man than you

bukatyne:


Same Jesus who said adultery (or unfaithfulness/fornication) is a ground for divorce also forgave an actual adulterous wife that was caught in the act.

In essence, it is not compulsory to divorce after adultery. It is the poster's choice to (forgive and divorce) or (forgive and stay).

What manner of humans are feminists?

The woman that was brought to Jesus was a prostitute not an adulterous wife. Jesus did condemned stoning her to death but scolded her and asked her not to indulge in sin anymore.

This is completely different from adultery. An adulterous woman has defiled the marital bed and broken vow, therefore deserves to be sent away. Christ even acknowledged this fact in Matthew 9.

You people should read the Bible and stop talking nonsense.

[s]

Bhus21:
2 days after I found out and going through emotional turmoil. I resolved to do the Christ-like thing and give the marriage a chance. I spoke to her at length and tried to convince her of her folly. I then made a candle-lit dinner at night and bought some flowers. I then extracted a commitment to work on the marriage for 6 months.

So imagine my horror when 2 days later I find out she was still talking to her affair partner for hours. Omo this wahala is even deeper than I thought.

[/s]You deserve whatever she gives you

You are either a woman or a simp.

What a silly advice

GhostWisperer:
*16% of women in their early 30s hits ovarian failure; menopause!

* At 35 women fertility drops radically

* The more men women sleep with, the more damaged and emotionally useless they are.

It is far better for a girl to marry at 22 than to be dicksploiting like you suggested.

Look at your life:

# you're already at your menopause
# no life other than digital addiction, fighting with men

# no marriage

# no partner

# no life.

Now you're spreading the same ideology that relegated you to become a feminine disaster.

At the end of the day, you wished you married and didn't fool around. Now you're seeking relief by leading other women into the same path that has plagued your life.

Amazontopaz, change.

What a wasted life

GhostWisperer:
bro check Amazontopaz posts well, sne advocates for prostitution and harlotry.

She is also an addict of the ashawo beer parlour section.

See how she opposes marriage for a 22 year old but endorses f.ucking around of same 22 year old.

This old woman needs to be digitally quarantined

90% of Feminists are active and retired old cargoes and wh0res. She is terribly regretting not being able to married at that age while her mates who married at 20-26 are already with their 18 - 25 year old children. So she now seeks to ensure that matured women in their 20s are deceived into seeing themselves as little girls so as to end up like her. I am sure her niece is already married with grown up kids.

AmazonTopaz:


LMAO comedy on top person wey you nor know

You nor get sense at all and I don't even take trolls like you serious because offline many of you are Street urchins.

Anyway I won't waste my time replying trolls again you and that agangwaboi the both of you are nothing but trolls whose silly useless opinion means nothing to me.

Your terrible life in summary

GhostWisperer:


You're unmarried
You're old
Frustrated and bitter.

GhostWisperer:
he was telling you the truth. And he is no lowlife.

You're unmarried
You're old
Frustrated and bitter

Please go back to the ashawo beer parlour thread where you came from.

Fact stated in raw form

[s]

AmazonTopaz:


Are you done?

Cry more

I don't have time for frustrated lowlifes like you.

[/s] Your terrible situation will permanently confine you to eternal life of frustration and misery if you don't start making amends. Old cargo

[s]

AmazonTopaz:

You are the old frustrated being.

I won't reply you again.I don't waste my precious time on clowns.

[/s] Your mates already have teenage children who will be getting married in few years while your old being is rusting away due to your foolishness. Instead of you to atone for your sins and pray that God shows you mercy, you are deep-necked into deceiving young girls to end up like you.

[s]

AmazonTopaz:

You must be talking to your horrible self not me

[/s]I am sure I even underestimated your misery as an old unmarried woman with no man in your life. What a miserable life

[s]

AmazonTopaz:

Wetin concern me with Regina wey go do wife number 6 to ancestor.

Get lost jaree.

[/s] She's more fulfilled than your old frustrated being

AmazonTopaz:

[s]That is my opinion whether an adult or not a 22 year old has no business getting married.

Don't come under my mention to talk trash mind your business and get lost[/s]

No wonder you are aged and frustrated. I'm very sure you are terribly sad that no man has considered you while your mates are already married with teenage children.

Tugee:


Don't use your mothers standards to judge other women.

no wonder misery runs in your lineage

Petyprince:
Good one... I wonder how people find it hard to stop their wives from doing wrong things.

My kinda person my wife can't insult me by insisting she must keep a male bestie.

She can hide it but lemme not find out! Cause she will explain to me if that friend is more important to our marriage.

Then i will know my next line of action.

Lots of men are too weak to make their stand. They accept bullshit just to be in their women's good books and societal validation

ABANGWABOI:


The guy you quoted is a big fool..
Look at the nonsense he listed that a man should do or pass thru so as to have a good marriage.. wife wey man use money marry and still dey pay her bills..
Men of this generation are mostly Idiotic..
If she can't Submit, do not Commit.. na my watchword be that .

Too many weaklings and simps parading as men.

blahc007:


The main reason I will never advice any guy to marry under25, them no de quick get sense.... everything be like normal life to them..she can't even advice herself to cut off some relationship both male and female.......until she enter trouble em eye no go clear...

do you rather marry a 30 year old that have been serially ravaged by several dickheads? You don't know that a woman's prime is under 25? You want someone whose juice has already been sucked?

[s]

Brother you may try engaging a female counsellor...say a Married young Lady...she must have an elderly female individual she respects....craftly engage such person, so that she can softly counsell your woman without her knowing you contracted the counsellor....jus use diplomacy in this matter...your marriage is still young for plenty stories...wish you well brother

[/s] Another simp advice...
