Let's be realistic, how many boats are on Lagos water ?

I guess you guys like this Lagos life of waking up by 4.30am/5am for a work you're to resume 8am

There are quite a number of boats on Lagos water. The government has Lagferry and private investors contributes to the rest. Currently, the government is expanding the lagos water routes and building several new jetties. So yea, the government is ensuring that more Lagosians embrace water transportation through these initiatives.

Sultty:
it's a project in futility. Here are my reasons:
-No constant infact no electricity except you buy diesel and power big gens to charge them (cost of diesel and cost of generator repair is high and it's going to be a constant repair for a region with poor maintainance culture)
-parts of the bus just like the fossil fuel types too will be imported
-repairmen will likely be foreigners cos it's a new concept and we don't have capable hands
-bad mannered drivers and conductors, causing problems and loss of lives I'm citing the accident with a mini bus at ifako bridge and abduction of a lady for ritual purpose

OANDO will be building Universal Chargers at public places like malls and gas stations, and also at designated BRT bus stations. So that takes care of the electricity concerns.

This is a pilot phase and the idea is that if this turns out good, an Assembly plant will be built in Lagos for electric buses in the near future.

Lumidee007:
What I don't understand is why OANDo is sponsoring the program

Because OANDO entered into partnership with LAMATA to do this.

cliqtips:
As for me, I don't see any reason to pump more cars on the road.
Because this will cause more traffic....

The government should consider water transportation

This is not about pumping more cars on the road. These new buses will also follow the existing BRT routes.

Also, maybe you are not aware, water transportation is being taken care of well by the current government.

Imagine Tinubu in this uniform

The comment i was looking for

wallex1983:
One thing I am not just happy about is how Sanwó Olú allowed people to cause violence on his behalf.

Violence or no violence, he would still have defeated thy Rhode 'Rogue' hands down.

It pissed me off, but let's also include the fact that state house of assembly elections were also holding and in areas where LP would likely win like Amuwo Odofin, Ojo which are predominantly Igbo, the APC candidates there wouldn't want to lose to LP, hence they might have been the ones behind the thuggery

Racoon:
Any wonder a despicable criminal like Gandollar, bigot like El-Rufai, #82M personal website upgrade crook like Fashola were fighting for a known drug baron to be president? The same old criminals recycling themselves in government.

Is that all you have on Fashola? Nonsense and ingredients

insidelife22:
Nonsensical nonsense.
CR7 remains the only Goat 🐐
Any other one na kid.
Like for Ororo.
Share for Leo.

Your share count don dey pass like oo

ecolime:

I agree with you 👍. He messed up by using Agbero because there was no way GRV would have won him.

He just soiled his name and reputation for nothing.

I hope you remember it's not only the governorship election that held. Even state HOA too held and those APC candidates in Kosofe, Ojo, Ajiromi where there people always vote the opposition won't want to lose.

So my conclusion is that they're the ones who sponsored the thugs.

Ventura1:
It is DAWN agenda!
All southwest states, alongside President elect Tinubu should energize DAWN agenda, especially on Power and roads.

We need to start sounding it to all of them, the DAWN agenda, thankfully though the current set of Governors in SW do not play politics of bitterness for not being in the same party so we can expect that they'll work together.

A GreaterLagos is coming for the next 4 years

The Governor should use his renewed mandate to work harder for the benefit of all Lagosians irrespective of their tribe or religion.

Eko o ni baje ooo

Beremx:
Ogbeni, you're feigning ignorance to the threat that Igbos should not vote. Let the election be conducted in a week time without thuggery and intimidation, Sanwoolu will lose woefully. Remember LP won Lagos. Don't forget that

In 2011 elections, PDP won during Presidential election, guess what happened during the governorship election? ACN won it with a landslide. Go and verify.

Same is playing out here.

Beremx:
you sound like Ayekooto. Same style of bigotry against Igbos.

Anyway, does that mean no one voted for LP in Shomolu? Lol

This rigging isn't sensible at all

What could have made them vote for LP in Shomolu? When they still have a performing governor in Sanwo-olu?

Or do you think governorship election in Lagos is same as the Presidential election?

Rapuru14:


At least he will give account.

For the past 22 years have you seen the balance sheet of your Lagos? 😊

You see the joke is on you

Do states give balance sheet? Because i know what is mostly applicable is that they publish line-by-line item of their budget.

Or do you know of a state that publishes a balance sheet, let me have an idea of what it looks like?

WHITELIGHTER:
Arguably the worst election since I became politically aware in 2003

What about what happened in 2007 elections?

If this election in Lagos was only about Lagos governorship election, my belief is that we wouldn't have witnessed this much thuggery in some areas in Lagos.

But then people are known to vote same party for both Governorship and State House of reps. It is mainly these House of rep candidates and their political leaders i feel, are sponsoring these havoc that is being wrecked especially in areas where APC lost during the Presidential elections.

Unfortunately, you can't distance Sanwo-olu from whatever is happening, because it is still his party.

Though my support has been for Sanwo-olu, i feel so disgusted with the several reports of voter intimidation and violence in some parts of Lagos.

Philgafauto:


But I can never vote for him if I were to vote today because he killed youths on Endsars and he is a puppet to a demon like Tinubu.

How did he kill the youth please?

Babajide Olusola Sanwo-olu for Lagos state

prophetfire:
Sanwo Olu is a good man in a bad company. He's keeping a bad company. People don't dislike him. It's Tinubu that they want to dislodge.
Depending on how the people vote he may become a casualty, but I see him retaining his seat. Especially with this his last minute desprate efforts.
However he should try to be more humane and people friendly.
Auctioning off traffic offenders cars is the height of wickedness. Let him fine them.

I think this is where you get it wrong sir. The auctioning of cars is part of the Lagos traffic law and it applies to only traffic offenders who drive against traffic. I haven't seen where people commit other traffic offences in Lagos, and their cars were auctioned.

And this law was in existence before Sanwo-olu became governor, and it is the mobile court that passes the judgment, not Sanwo-olu. So they are simply following the provisions of the law. If the people of Lagos feel this is a draconian measure, then the government of Lagos should be sued and made to repeal that law or make it a fine, like you suggested.

Good one from Sanwo-olu. Owning the narrative.

Sanwo-olu for 2nd term!

GRV, do you think that same number will also vote for you come governorship election?

The guy is being deluded. That Lagosians voted against BAT doesn't mean that all of them have an issue with Sanwoolu who has done so well.

People have a mind of their own, Lagosians no go do Top to bottom for LP in Lagos.

TheBillyonaire:
Lagos is very important.

Why is it more important than say Enugu or Abia?

The presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi is leading his counterpart in the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu with over 1,000 votes in 17 local government areas (LGAs) in Lagos State.

As of the time of filing this report at 07:30am on Monday, Obi polled 448,878 while Tinubu scored 447,187 votes in 17 local government areas in Lagos.

The figures are according to results collated by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for the February 25 presidential election in Lagos.

INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner, Olusegun Agbaje opened the floor at the state collation centre in the Yaba area of the state on Sunday and the collation ran until midnight on Monday.

The results for 17 of the state’s 20 LGAs presented by 3:40 am on Monday including Lagos Mainland, Ikorodu, Epe, Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos Island, Badagry, Agege, Ikeja, Shomolu, Kosofe, Amuwo Odofin, Eti Osa, Surulere, Apapa, Ifako Ijaiye, Ajeromi, Oshodi Isolo.

Results presented for Mushin LGA have yet to get cleared by the state collation officer as they are being contested by the Inter-party Advisory Committee (IPAC) and thus had yet to be signed by most party agents.

INEC asked that they be presented afresh.

Meanwhile, Ojo and Alimosho are the only two LGAs left to be announced. The REC in the state is expected to reconvene later on Monday for the final collation of results.

Of the 87, 209,007 Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) collected nationwide for the election, 6,214,970 PVCs were collected in Lagos. This is closely followed by Kano with 5,594,193, and Kaduna with 4,164, 473.

Lagos is the base of who was governor of the state from 1999 to 2007. Aside from Tinubu and Obi, an ex-governor of Anambra State, other presidential candidates in the race include Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and Rabiu Kwankwaso of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP).

Hopium:


Tinubu will win Lagos. People are just disturbing themselves. It's a slap on City Boy sha. Good outing nontheless. AA didn't get reasonable votes in Lasgidi, that's all that matters. Another 200k lead loading.

He could win, but this is as you said, a slap on city boy lol. He couldn't get up to 1 million votes in his Lagos.

I didn't even bother with AA and Kwakwanso, they never had a chance in Lagos.

Based on the data that has been released so far by Lagos state INEC collation center, this is how things stand

But note, Mushin's result is currently being contested, and we are still expecting Alimosho and Ojo LGAs

I just hope what happened during 2011 general elections will repeat itself in Lagos, where people voted for PDP during Presidential, and turned around to vote for ACN during governorship election because Fashola performed. Sanwo-olu deserves re-election irrespective of his affiliation with BAT

I really fear for Babajide Sanwo-olu.

I mean losing the state capital is just shocking.

gimakon:


What is wrong wit u? Why are u pained?

Why are you pained by my comment? What is your interest?

In UNN, Nsukka, LP won with a landslide here.

Loverboi2cute:
omo if care is not taken, L.P fit win dis Gubernatorial 4 Lagos oo... thereby overthrowing Sanwo Olu APC gov... CHAAAI!!

4rm d look of tinz, youths no well like dis oo.. everybody just kala 4 head.. finger-printing on anything dat's Labour Party logo

🙆🏻‍♂️🙆🏻‍♂️🙆🏻‍♂️

wahala wahala WAHALA WAHALA!!!! WAHALA!!!!

I doubt LP can win governorship irrespective of what is going on in Lagos for presidency. My main reason is because Jandor is also contesting. And will pull votes meant for GRV

Lezz go there.

I was watching one live count on Channels TV some minutes ago where LP defeated APC 115-53 in Surulere, Lagos.
