[quote author=Mr. Globe]I dont care what you think, Baba Suwe was caught with drugs. A machine detected him with it. They can try to squeeze this story all they want. Baba suwe was caught with drugs. The Ndlea at a time even suspected juju - which is not out of place. Baba suwe never protested when he was caught. It was after the ground work and some delays that he started protesting. This detecting machine has been in use and so far as I know, it is competent. You can continue defending him as if you were in his tummy and as if you didnt hear the news of him being caught as I did! Bigots[/quote]Your ignorance and display of stupidity is nauseating. Even the NDLEA man did say his machine can be wrong, 1 out of 1000 times. Supposing Baba Suwe happened to be that 1 in a thousand?
So since you say he was caught, kindly tell us which drugs he was caught with, was it cocaine? Heroin? or Marijuana?

Going by your reasoning, once the police accuse a man and charge him to court, then he MUST be guilty! Right?

Mr President, read your inaugural speech again!
May 28, 2012 by 'Dimeji Daniels

I doubt if President Goodluck Jonathan has ever bothered to read his inaugural speech after May 29, 2011. Jonathan, like most before him and the governors too, probably consider the inaugural speech an academic exercise that should soon be discarded with as soon as it is over. It is doubtful if some of them even keep a file copy of their inaugural speeches afterwards.

I have read several inaugural speeches by Nigerian governors and presidents (forgive the sickening way some of the speeches were crafted) that overtime I have come to believe strongly that is either they didn’t bother to read it once in a while afterwards or that the pressure and responsibilities of the job became too complicated for their brains. If not, how did we find ourselves in this situation? Why would Jonathan endlessly bungle the presidency? We all know, as he said, that the problems of Nigeria did not all start in his time, but we also know that Osama bin Laden was already a menace to the United States before the Barack Obama presidency, yet Obama saw to his crushing. Why should I compare America with Nigeria? So what is the basis for such a comparison?

Despite their no-longer-news incapability, should the Nigerian leaders flip through their inaugural speeches once in a while, maybe, just maybe things would have been different? If President Jonathan does it, he would have by now known that he has expressly failed Nigerians and that at the rate he is going, he doesn’t seem to have any clue as to how to proceed. The so-called progress his government daily celebrates and shouts about through the Minister of Information, Labaran Maku, is at best described as moving round in circles, which is worse than retrogression (backward movement). I doubt if we are not already in that state. Was the Boko Haram menace foreseen by our leaders? Clearly, their responses to the sect and their inability to stop it bear all the markings of being caught off-guard, like a child who gets too engrossed in spinning, forgetting that at the end of it (if he is not caught by strong arms) a fall awaits him.

Today, one can boldly challenge President Jonathan to tell us if he has any workable blue-print to turn Nigeria around! I know he will begin to sell his Transformational Agenda; we know about that one and it doesn’t seem to be working. Instead, he should come out boldly, without the prodding of others to explain if he has any clue about how to steer Nigeria towards progress or if he has the balls to see it through. We know for a fact that he is not a general as he once said, but he cuts the figure of a man overwhelmed by events around him. Also, his tendency to vacillate makes him appear unsure of his steps.

Towards the end of last year, Maku, Mrs. Diezani Alsion-Madueke, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Sanusi Lamido (just to mention a few) inundated us with reasons the fuel subsidy had to give way. They told us it was for our own good. Well, as it turned out, it was for their own good. Almost N3tn, according to the House of Representatives probe, was expended right under Jonathan’s nose as fuel subsidy. Why then the lie that it was only N1.3tn? While a waste management company and other money-sucking companies were tasked with the importation of fuel and were smiling to the banks, Nigerians like me were groaning under this subsidy removal policy. Yet, in paragraph 30 of his inaugural speech, the President said: “Fellow citizens, in every decision, I shall always place the common good before all else.” Was the removal of fuel subsidy, as we now see, for our common good? How does punishing the poor for the greed of the rich amount to a common good?

He went on: “The bane of corruption shall be met by the overwhelming force of our collective determination, to rid our nation of this scourge. The fight against corruption is a war in which we must all enlist, so that the limited resources of this nation will be used for the growth of our commonwealth.” Well, Mr President, most of the masses have already enlisted in the war, but have you? Have members of your cabinet enlisted in the war? With Mohammed Adoke’s initial dilly-dallying about the subsidy probe and with your handing it over to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, it would seem you also believe, like your Attorney-General, that it was all a fact-finding mission.

Besides my aged maternal grand-father who voted for you, there was a 103 year old man who participated in the election and a certain Emmanuel Bamidele Orevba (mentioned in your speech) who, though not a politician, campaigned vigorously for you and later died from celebrating your victory, a victory he probably thought would bring succour to his children and children’s children. But how would he feel in his grave now? Happy? Disappointed? What about the corps members who worked tirelessly during the election only for some of them to lose their lives thereafter? We know the surviving ones have been repaid with delayed payment of their allowances. What about the dead ones? Shouldn’t President Jonathan honour them with a sterling performance so that they wouldn’t die in vain? Was the death of the Nigerians who lost their lives during the fuel subsidy protests for a common good? Were those prevented from protesting at the Gani Fawehinmi Freedom Park treated so for the Jonathan-implied common good?

Going through Jonathan’s inaugural speech again, I could not but conclude that he has nothing to celebrate in his one year in office. Ignore all those on-the-paper achievements being reeled out by his ministers; Nigerians are not fooled! Except if those achievements happened somewhere else or all Nigerians took a vacation and did not know Jonathan has done so much for them. Electricity is still bad! Potable water remains a dream! Insecurity is sky-high! What is it that the Jonathan administration would be celebrating? The scores killed by Boko Haram? The disoriented, hungry and willing but unemployed Nigerian youths? The pension scam or its twin, the subsidy probe roguery? The un-motorable roads?

Oh! We know he didn’t cause all the problems, but he did promise to fix them! It’s his job to fix them! “The time for lamentation is over. This is the era of transformation. This is the time for action… Let us all believe in a new Nigeria. Let us work together to build a great country that we will all be proud of. This is our hour. Fellow compatriots, lift your gaze towards the horizon. Look ahead and you will see a great future that we can secure with unity, hard work and collective sacrifice. Join me now as we begin the journey of transforming Nigeria. I will continue to fight, for your future, because I am one of you. I will continue to fight, for improved medical care for all our citizens. I will continue to fight for all citizens to have access to first class education. I will continue to fight for electricity to be available to all our citizens. I will continue to fight for an efficient and affordable public transport system for all our people. I will continue to fight for jobs to be created through productive partnerships. You have trusted me with your mandate, and I will never, never let you down. I know your pains, because I have been there. Look beyond the hardship you have endured. See a new beginning; a new direction; a new spirit. Nigerians, I want you to start to dream again. What you see in your dreams, we can achieve together,” so he declared in his inaugural speech, only that we have not seen fighting or walk his talk this past one year.
Oh yes! We believe in a new Nigeria, but Mr. President has not given us much to believe in. Just fickle promises! Those are wearing us off! And Nigerians have risen from their dreams. Never again will they be sent to the dreamland of lies and clueless leadership. We believe in dreams, but not here, not now. And we believe in God also, but Mr. President should stop pushing everything to God. If he fails, only him, and him alone, (not God) would be blamed. God has brought him from his riverine Otuoke village to Aso Rock in Abuja; it’s time for him to impress God!

Wake up, Jonathan! Wake up, Mr. President! Time waits not for you. Soon your administration will become history. What will history and Nigerians remember you for?

For those of you insisting that Lagos State government must or should pay equivalently with the Federal government, I havea small question;

a) How many of you have paid your gateman the same rate as the big man on your street?
b) How many of you have contributed the same rates as the big-man when fixing your estate roads?

If you accept that you cannot or shouldn't base your pay on the big man's own, why expect the same of LASG?

Sleaze is a major ingredient of this government. SMH.

jodeci: This is so nauseating.get yourself an android phone or better still a laptop.I wonder the pains you went through writing the undecipherable above.

Would the Android phone have changed what he typed, made it more entertaining or made it easier for you to comprehend? Or is it that special characters are not available on Android phones?

texazzpete: 'unreasonable strikes'

You see, this is why I tell people that contrary to what their thieving Pastors and Imams tell them, Nigeria will NOT get better any time soon. Even with the horrifying spectre of greedy and demonic leaders, we have a sheepish and foolish populace who still fall for the government propaganda of 'incessant strikes'.

The Doctors in Lagos State have gone on repeated strikes because the Lagos State government has FAILED to implement all the agreements made before. The Doctors have asked for full implementation of CONMESS. Is that really too much to ask? While the Lagos State Government tells you gullible people that Lagos state cannot pay the incremental demands, a simple calculation will tell you all that that is a lie.

Now, we know that 1000 doctors were sacked. Let's assume the incremental demands per doctor boils down to 50K per person. 50,000 * 1000 = 50 million naira. Is this what Lagos State government cannot pay?

Does anyone really think that 175k per month is adequate remuneration for a medical doctor...barely over $1000 per month? And that's before the crippling taxes the doctors are complaining about.

Are we so blind that we do not see the folly in keeping our doctors demotivated and unhappy?

People here say truly IDIOTIC things like 'most of these doctors have their own hospitals'. Which kain hospital will a married doctor build on 175k per month?

The Lagos State government is simply following the script used by the FG in turning the populace against ASUU...enter agreements and fail to honor them, then use their financial clout to inundate the media with stories about 'incessant strikes'. And the foolish people lap it up! How many of you folks know that up until now, GEJ is yet to sign the agreement finalized with ASUU to extend retirement age of lecturers to 70, even after an 'agreement' was reached?

It is said that the average Lagos state doctor sees up to 50 patients daily. How many of you here work that hard in such a risky environment?

I do not understand you o! Lagos State tax max is 20%, Delta is 22%, Rivers is 25%, Ekiti is 18%, Ondo is 17.5%; So where is the crippling taxes that Lagos state doctors are being subjected to?

Also, you assumed that a 50K increase per month just translates to 50 Million , realise that their allowances are based on their basic, thus ALL their dependent allowances would also increase: terminal benefits, pension, etc.

Orebukola: am sori 4 teling pple dis but a fact we must all acept d so called ACN are d beta player at killing, i respect d passion,knowledge of baba Awolowo 4 d yoruba, but u all know he mastaminded d killin of Akintola, many pple now acused of killing in PDP are 4rm d then AD d like of omisore,pls learn 2 speak d truth pls

The two of you are certified dunces! So Awolowo masterminded the coup of 1966? You guys need some serious flogging to get the weed out of your systems.

Beaf: Sometimes you people sound really foolish. Its like you were born id!ots or something. What is wrong if government plans to build emergency power plants in Lagos?

It is witches and wizards who hate good plans. You people don't realise how primitive you sound, thats why you persist in loud displays of gutter breeding and pray only for bad news.

SMH.

Beaf, please help me with the meaning of what you said above, which one of the instances below is correct?

Is it a power plant that you
1. Switched on when you need emergency power in Lagos state?
2. Switched on when there is an emergency in Lagos State.
3. A power plant that that would be built in an emergency in Lagos State?

For me I am wondering what is an Emergency Power Plant?

Is it a power plant that you
1. Switched on when you need emergency power in Lagos state?
2. Switched on when there is an emergency in Lagos State.
3. A power plant that that would be built in an emergency in Lagos State?


From what I've learnt in this world, it is either it is a working power plant or a dead one, never heard of an emergency power plant!

texazzpete: Seun has proven his intelligence. You, unfortunately, have not. Clear distinction

You, are a clear example of what is wrong with our educational system. You cram to pass an exam rather than studying to understand and learn!

A so called "educated illiterate" is able to comprehend and analyze an interview to arrive at the same conclusions as a seasoned intelligent prof, and rather than acknowledge his abilities you go off looking for "proven" qualifications. How foolish can you descend to in your reasoning.

Better wise up and type an apology to be accepted into the world of thinkers and not just readers. I will forgive your infraction this time.

manny4life: Mallam SLS is not arguing that part about subsidy, but his argument remains that since Nigeria largely depends on sale of crude oil for its huge chunk of revenues, when the prices of oil goes down, Nigeria WILL NOT have any sustainable revenue. You're right that though there won't be any need to subsidize, but ask yourself, how will Nigeria fund her budget without revenues.

Look at this basic estimate, Nigeria's recently passed budget was about $27billion, of that amount and at least 60% is from oil sale (60% is a lil too conservative becos it's higher), that's a total of $16.2 billion coming from sale of oil. Now, with a reduction in price sale of oil in whatever % point from the constant price is like to have a hit on Nigeria revenue. Therefore, using the $50/barrel, that's a reduction in about 50% point in the revenue, meaning that Nigeria's revenue will be about $8.1billion.

Is it not obvious that Nigeria won't fund her obligations such as Education, Healthcare, etc? I mean you won't have subsidy, however, Nigeria will be in the worst shape than it has ever been given given that there will be a whole lot of unfunded obligation because there's no money

The budget of the FGN is based on a crude benchmark of $72 per barrel. A reduction to $50 in actual sale price will therefore NOT translate to a 50% reduction in revenue to the FGN! So that argument is patently false.

You might want to know that Nigeria has also been earning an excess amount from the sales of crude, approximately $40 per barrel for up to 3 months now. He did not say we would not be able to carry out all our programs, just that we would need to eat into much of our savings.

texazzpete: Seun,
The key to what Sanusi is saying is evident in this quote from the OP

By the way, I noticed that you did not say Seun was brainless with his assertion, considering that we both hold the same view and wrote the same thing. Spineless fool!

texazzpete: You STILL don't get it, you dolt!
Sanusi is not talking about any 'cause being helped' if oil prices drop. He is not talking about subsidy payment if the per barrel cost of crude oil drops to $50. What he worries about (AS CLEARLY STATED IN THE ARTICLE) is that the $50 per barrel scenario does not occur and meet a Nigeria with little savings to cushion the shock.

I have no idea how you're reading this article. If you have issues comprehending written English, I cannot help you.

Just like Seun pointed out to you, you are the one not getting it. You want us to use the one single statement he made in the course of the entire interview as the basis. But you would rather that I, or others, do not draw any reference from the many statements he made regarding 'fuel subsidy'! Haba!

Now tell me, where in the entire interview did he mention the any other types of subsidy, or is fuel the only thing Nigeria subsidizes? Where in the entire interview did he mention government reducing its spending without relating it to fuel subsidy? or the wastage in the NA is not a spend or does not need to be reduced? Or the govt is not paying subsidy on fertilizer? Or not paying subsidy on pilgrimage?

Now even if I toe your line (though I do not), pray tell me, where has the excess crude money being made now been channeled to? Currently we have been having excess of at least $40 per barrel ($112 -$72), what has happened or is happening to the money being saved?

texazzpete: Your attempt at changing the goal posts is as obvious as it is laughable. Go and re-read your initial post...you made it clear that your understanding of this discussion from Sanusi was that 'the FG would not be able to pay subsidy at $50 per barrel'. I rightly called you out on that brainless assumption of yours.

If you had showed consistent use of your brain cells and posted your much more sensible concerns on talks of 'deficit' at $85 per barrel, I never would have had cause to doubt the quality of your education. I enjoin you to summon the required courage to admit that your initial post was brainless. That is the first step to your redemption

You have shown again that you still lacked comprehension abilities, you know the words but are lost with the meanings. Below is my original post that you initially replied to.

Akainzo: That part about the country being in trouble should oil prices drops got me cracking up.

Has SLS forgotten that if oil prices crashes to $50, then there would be no need to pay subsidy. Or is he telling us that the government would pay subsidy irrespective of the actual price of crude

Now let me analyze for you, in simple language to make it easier for you to understand.

If SLS does not want to pay anything more than the 880 Billion earmarked for fuel subsidy in 2012, then his cause is helped by the price of crude crashing to $50 since the amount of subsidy is then reduced to almost non-existent that Nigeria should not be in trouble due to fuel subsidy payments.

If the price of crude drops to $85, while the 2012 budget is based on $72, then Nigeria would still not be in trouble of a deficit as we are still earning higher than our budgeted figure. However, there would be little in the excess crude account (or Sovereign Wealth Fund as SLS wants it) for the FGN to spend as they may want, but it does not mean they would not have excess money since they can make savings from the amount saved from not paying fuel subsidies.

If the price of crude crashes to $50 however, SLS should not bother about fuel subsidy as that would not be his problem but the deficit that even the 880Billion earmarked for subsidy would not be able to plug. Thus he should not have been hammering on total fuel subsidy removal as if that is the major spend item that would ensure that a crash to $50 does not impact the economy or the 2012 budget implementation.

Hope I have painted to you what I captured in that my small reply that your little brain couldn't understand.

BlackPikiN: The governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Lamido Sanusi in an interview with Reuters on Friday in New York said [size=20pt]that the current system of subsidizing fuel prices is unsustainable.[/size]
The governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Lamido Sanusi said that a sharp fall in oil prices could spell big trouble for the country.

Mr Sanusi, a former banker who specialized in risk management and who is allied with Finance Minister Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala in the push for reforms, is pushing for the complete removal of the system of subsidizing fuel.
The government tried to scrap the subsidies but backtracked after widespread protests earlier this year and partially reinstated them.

Mr Sanusi also said that a sharp fall in oil prices could spell big trouble for Nigeria.

“I am trained to think in terms of ‘what if’ and that’s the mindset I bring to my job. What happens if oil prices go to $50 a barrel? It’s happened before.”

Asked how low oil prices would need to fall before they pose a risk to Nigeria, Mr Sanusi said a decline to around $85 or $90 a barrel – from around $120 now – could lead to a shortfall in projected revenues and higher budget deficits, if Nigeria’s oil output does not increase.

“So I don’t think the headline numbers alone would justify a change in monetary stance from where we are today,” he said.

The CBN governor said the government should spend no more than the N880 billion for subsidies in 2012 earmarked in the budget signed by Nigerian President, Goodluck Jonathan on Friday.

“I would simply like to see that the government does not pay a penny more than that, no matter what happens,” he said.

Mr Sanusi also said that a sharp fall in oil prices could spell big trouble for Nigeria.

texazzpete: This quoted post above is an excellent example of an 'educated illiterate'.

Sanusi is NOT complaining about not being able to pay subsidies if oil prices crash to say $50. He is concerned that we do not have any meaningful savings to cushion the devastating effects of such a price shortfall, and is pushing for a reduction in Government expenditure on subsidies which should lead to increased savings.

Smh.

Now you come up with the nonsense you wrote above pretending to have knowledge on what you have no clue about. I have highlighted the different areas of Sanusi's statements and clearly he is definitely concerned about govt paying more for more for subsidy in 2012 than budgeted for. And he is clearly speaking from 2 sides of his mouth.

That I have no savings does not mean that I would not do what I have budgeted for! The budget is based on a benchmark of $72, yet he is saying the entire budget could be at risk even if the crude price drops to $85, now tell me which voodoo economics is that? The only way our budget could be at risk at $85 would be that the excess money that could be saved into the SWF, the govt of the day has some hidden plans for it, and therefore they are concerned that the money would not accrue or would not be enough.

I am not easily hoodwinked by stories, I look beyond the surface, especially at the numbers. Read the entire interview again and check how many times he mentioned fuel subsidies and how many times he mentioned savings. You indeed are an educated illiterate, knowing nothing but covering up with grammar.

jmaine: Permit me to call you an erratic fool . .Both Vehicle had a common factor . .RRS was inscribed on them which Eko Ile mistook for my post . . .and wasn't it used by you to counter my own point on Surulere . . .

Please dont make me conclude your as dumb as Eko Ile cos am beginning to see common similarity in your erratic response . .relax bruv . .and please take a deep breath before you reply the punch button .

You'd are indeed just a rat which tries to scamper off when found out. Check all of my posts, jason123's picture was always referred to as an APC and not a RRS vehicle. I only referred to your RRS van picture when pointing out your flaws about traffic management at Teslim Balogun. You also kept referring to your picture as RRS van!

Do not attempt to obfuscate the two pictures by claiming the inscriptions on both are the same. A smart person seeing the inscription being the same wouldn't use that to differentiate them, wouldn't he? Oh I forgot, you can't be described as smart.

That part about the country being in trouble should oil prices drops got me cracking up.

Has SLS forgotten that if oil prices crashes to $50, then there would be no need to pay subsidy. Or is he telling us that the government would pay subsidy irrespective of the actual price of crude

jmaine: ^
So am Now Akainzo who referenced jason123 RRS picture (you quoted as my fake pic ) of Dame J irresponsible road blockage to . . counter my pics which also had an RRS inscribed vehicle . .Dude https://i1233.photobucket.com/albums/ff390/ShaneDawg021/th_awalkerhuh.png are you okay . . . .

Don't go there stop trying to lie there!
I quoted jason123's picture of an APC blocking the road and the 2nd one was a RRS picture that you shared! Jason never shared any RRS pictures, rather it was you that was trying to use it to prove that the roads in Surulere were blocked.

Haba! Don't descend to that level of blatant lies ke!

jmaine: Stop giving me those insinuating tripes you call logic . .cos i can equally dish out mine to counter you . .let's not dwell on all those nothings . . . Cos your exhibited sheer ignorance when you tried to dispel the fact the RRS vans can actually be used to condone a lane from motorist in a very busy road . .Your bold creeping ignorance is what am after . .

Now back to your Jason prove . .Guess, if you were in my shoes . .you would have foolishly discarded it as rubbish citing reasons . . .it might have been some random pics like the fool Eko ile insinuated or saying that picture must have been a shot dating back to the fuel subsidy protest . .or even more foolishly ask me to prove to you it was Dame patience cause . . since her convoy or a sniff of her wasnt found on the scene . .You lots need to quit acting childishly by foot dragging over silly logic .

Entertaining your not even tired of sheathing your ignorance for one . . .try again bruv . . .

Hmmmm, seems now you want to make it into whether RRS vehicles can be used to condone off roads!!! Quit taking whichever drugs you are on, they are clearly messing with your head!
I therefore accept it that you have gone off on a limb which has now being cut off, so you're grabbing for straws. That it can be used is not the same as it is, it is being or it was. Hope you understand that?


You lack any comprehension or analytical abilities, so I am done with you.

jmaine: Am shocked you are not aware that RSS van packed at strategic points are often used to condone some area away from motorist and you claim you reside in lagos . . .Only the painfully ignorant would be silly enough not to know that . .or is this your attempt at denying what you see . . . It's obvious your clutching at straws . .cos your just meandering to no way . .
But the sad news is that your attempts are sources of amusement to me . . . cos your just hitting the reply button to safe face . . . The crux of the issue is there was road blockage . .your trying to describe the object used in achieving that is quite lame . . .

have you ever passed Tejousho mega market to Yaba or Ojuelegba where a particular lane was condoned to aid construction . .cos if you did . .you wont be here showing off your ignorance brazenly

I am sure every rapist uses his "third leg" while commuting the crime, does it mean that every time the Third Leg is out and there is a woman, then it is rape You really do need to brush up on that brain, task it beyond the mundane and you'd be amazed at its analytic capabilities.

To help you, that RRS vehicles are used to condone off roads (as along the Tejousho mega market construction area) does not imply ALL RRS vehicles when parked are condoning off roads! *If you cannot process that simple fact, please apply to get a refund from all your alma mattas.

However, the picture shared by "jason123" clearly shows the APC condoning off traffic. If you have proof like that shown by jason123, of any road condoned off during the birthday celebrations, please do share them.

Based on your simpleton logic, there wouldn't have been a difference between "manslaughter" and "murder" right? Or even killing in self defense!

Eko Ile: No, you are a liar, you added that picture to the random ones because I discounted the ones you posted because they did not show any sign of blockade.

You said there was a blockaded in surulere, but you are yet to show us the blockade.

Like I said before, please read posts carefully. There is a difference between "Akainzo" and "jmaine".

jmaine: dude . .quit this desperate silly attempt of yours . .what is the RSS van doing there . .or are you trying to act blind . . . .the packed RSS vehicle is to secure that service lane . . .same as done in other areas requiring some form of barricade to stop unwanted thoroughfare . .e.g is the Tejousho mega stores construction at yaba . .


Guy you need to do better than this . . . try again

Wow! You are quite amazing in your beliefs! So the RSS vehicle parked like that is barricading the road! Truly Can you compare it to the picture that was shared by jason123?

Can you please show the two pictures to your gateman Nd let him help you with some reasoning faculties. You are so daft you need some intelligence slapped into you.

Eko Ile: You are bloody a lair.

You inserted the armored personnel carrier picture because I asked you to show us the real barricade, but the picture came from punch newspaper.

1. That was not in surulere

2. Show us the link with the story attached to the picture...

Why do people lie so much?

You'd do better to take time to follow posts before hitting "Reply". My post was to show jmaine that the blocking of roads using APCs in V.I. (pix from jason) cannot be compared to traffic management in Surulere. (pix from jmaine).

Hope your understanding is now OK?

LASTMA engaged in traffic management at Teslim Balogun stadium

jmaine: Akainzo . . .first you attempted to play your usual stunts of making lies seem like truth . .you denied there was a barricade to cater for Asiwaju ?birthday celeb . . . . And now your stealthly trying to downplay the huge traffic build up that was caused by that same blockage the pic showed . . .i spent almost 4 hours on a trip meant to just last 15 mins . . . all because a political lord was having his day with tax payers money . . . .like i said . .you were never in surulere and knew nothing about the situation . .a similar blunder of yours in the Lekki toll gate fiasco where you confidently placed falsehood as the truth

You demonstrated a lack of intelligence when you equate the actions depicted in the two pictures above to mean the same things. You could not even show any picture or any reference to there being a single barricade in the entire thread you referenced.

I did not downplay the traffic, I only stated to you that there would necessarily be traffic when events with an expected large turnout is held, managing it should be the normal as was done on that day using LASTMA, (as shown in your pix). Or would you rather they stop playing Super Eagles matches at the Teslim Balogun stadium also since it would cause traffic on the said date?

jmaine: That aside . .it was foolhardy of you to reference my post without having convincing answers and knowledge of what you attempted to puncture . . .

Nevertheless, You are excused . . .am still waiting for the right person to answer my question concerning Fashola hypocrisy regarding this thread . . .

Oh, I did provide answers to you, it just seems you are still trying to wrap your brains around it ( it seems a hard job for now based on this your last post )
