Peacecore: All of them are thieves buh you and know that Atiku is the worst option to replace the present thief. Instead of me to vote Atiku I rather vote for the present one to go for third tenure
How is Atiku a worse thief than ebilokan?
Has Atiku grown a state budget from N 43 billion in 25 years ago to N3.4 trillion this year with his master plan that doesn’t include employing civil servants to make ordinary water supply available to all Lagos buildings?
Potable water still luxury 23 years after return of democracy
WHILE the Federal Government continues to proliferate the country with dams, it is such an irony that a state like Lagos, with its massive, constant boast of being a megacity, cannot provide its residents, thereby forcing the bulk of them to take solace in the arms of water boreholes.
At regular intervals, the two major waterworks in the state, the Adiyan, and Iju get grounded leading to the non-availability of water. In April and May last year, for instance, they both produce less than 10% of their installed capacity.
As of today, Eti-Osa, Apapa, Victoria Island, Badagry, Ibeju Lekki, Surulere, Ikorodu, Agege, Ojo, Mushin Kosofe, and most locations in the state are without access to clean water. Consequently, millions of residents now rely on boreholes, rivers, rainwater, as well as comprised wells for their water needs.
On its website, the LWC claims that it has a total installed water production capacity of 210 million gallons per day (MGD), which is far lower than the current estimated daily water demand of 540 million gallons per day.
Also, its plan to produce 745 million gallons per day by the year 2020 through the Lagos Water Supply Master Plan fell flat with the actual number of citizens having access to potable water dropping, rather than increasing 11 years after the launch of the master plan.
A senior staff of LWC, who preferred anonymity said that at present, its agency only supplies water to Lekki, parts of Ikoyi, Victoria Island (VI), Ojodu, Iju, and some parts of Ikotun.
Take responsibility for your actions We Igbos don't vote in fools Atiku and Tinubu are thieves
However, Pandora Bitter Obi who was Atiku’s VP candidate in 2019 is not a thief.
Meanwhile, Atiku has never held executive position unlike the Anambra Pandora governor who tried and failed miserably to be a godfather.
newsbook: Anambra State governor, Chief Willie Obiano has re-echoed his allegation that his predecessor, Mr Peter Obi demanded the sum of N7.5billion from him for sponsoring his election in 2013.
Obiano and his predecessor, Obi have had a frosty relationship shortly after his swearing in.
Obi has however denied that he demanded for the sum of N7.5billion from Obiano, saying that his problem with him was his (Obiano’s) underperformance.
Obi said if he needed the said sum, he would have simply taken it from the N75billion he left for the Obiano administration at the end of his tenure.
But Governor Obiano while speaking on Wednesday evening at Ezechima Primary School, Onitsha where he inaugurated his reelection campaigns in Onitsha North Council Area, said the clarification became necessary because of the recent accusations against him by the former Governor.
He stated that his predecessor had demanded the sum of N7.5billion from him as funds spent in prosecuting the election on his behalf, but that he refused to pay the money because it was not true.
Obiano said he refused to pay because he strongly believed that public funds should be used for public good, and not to settle godfathers.
These, he said, was the reason they fell apart.
The governor said that another reason he refused to pay the money was because he was aware that enough money was raised for his campaign by his friends and associates, all of which were never accounted for by the former governor.
On the actual sum the former Governor claimed he left behind, Governor Obiano made it clear that he inherited liability of about N127 billion debt from him in contracts awarded and other responsibilities, which he has been religiously undertaking in the spirit of continuity.
He said Obi flagged off several roads even on the day he was leaving office and saddled him with the burden of paying for it, but he assured the people that he has his eyes on the ball and will not allow anything to distract him from fulfilling his promises.
The Chairman of the Governor’s Re-election Campaign Committee, Chief Victor Umeh said APGA as the political spirit of Ndigbo, has in the past three and half years, availed Anambra good governance at its best, reminding the people that the upcoming guber election was not about Willie Obiano but about ensuring that the state remained free from political godfatherism.
A former Central Bank Governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo in his speech said that at this time, the State needs a tested hand like Governor Obiano who has the experience and expertise to effectively steer her affairs.
Villa12: the bastard is enriching himself and governors with the subsidy money while those useless supporters are claiming he has increased monthly allocation to each state.
What is the impact of ebilokan APC hyperinflation on the increased allocation to the states?
Has it not wiped out the increase such that the 36 governors are receiving LESS money value than their predecessors?
JASONjnr: Why is the problem of PDP caused by Wike? Isn't Wike a member of PDP?
Have you forgotten how you guys cheered Atiku and the entire PDP structure for frustrating Wike and how you all laughed at him for begging to be a vice to Atiku?
He counted his lose and moved on..... checked his cards and laughed silently.
They taught him how to be a politician.... Tinubu picked him and polished him up. And you come online and began to blame Wike over PDP's crisis?
Wicked, ologogoro Wike forgot that every delegate can’t be bought and he has been rewarded for subsequently helping ebilokan continue APC shege that was fraudulently sold as change a decade ago.

Then, the race began in earnest for three years now, reaching a frenzy with the works of the two PDP committees on zoning. The first was the Gov Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi committee on the zoning of the PDP party offices. The Ugwuanyi committee quickly told the world the committee’s assignment did not cover zoning the office of the president. Though this was true, the question is: why didn’t the Ugwuanyi committee zone the PDP chairmanship to the North without aligning it to the divide that would produce the PDP presidential flag-bearer? The second committee headed by Gov Samuel Ortom of Benue state was specifically on the zoning of the presidential ticket and, with the votes of the representatives of all the 17 Southern states without any exception, the Committee unanimously recommended throwing open the PDP presidential ticket, which the PDP NEC simply upheld.
One thing irrefutably stands out – Wike shot himself in the leg. Here was a man who had an overarching influence on both committees but could not insist that the ticket be zoned South. Many had wondered why? The reason is also relatively in plain sight: the Southeast factor. As the clamour for zoning of the presidential ticket of the PDP to South reached its crescendo, many had pointed out the fact that though the PDP Constitution had prescribed zoning of the office of the president to be between North and South since the South-west and South-south had taken their turns in producing the president and the vice in this current dispensation in the persons of Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan, zoning this time around, should not just be to the South but the Southeast.
Atiku Abubakar went a step further by offering to step down from the race if it would be agreed that the touted zoning to the South would mean micro-zoning to the Southeast. Wike and the rest could not take the Atiku challenge maybe because Atiku would likely back Peter Obi, who was his vice-presidential running mate in 2019 and an ally. The prospects of Peter Obi picking the ticket if PDP zoned South was so real compelling Wike to go for an open contest, believing he could pick it up ahead of Atiku, Tambuwal and Bala Mohammed, given his large war chest.

Ebilokan is killing us softly with charges, subsidy removal, naira devaluation, taxes, unemployment, hyperinflation, extreme poverty, corruption and insecurity so that he can enjoy more luxury.
Is this what we bargained for in 2015 when he made Buhari APC change messiah after calling him expired four years earlier? Is this shege not too much
chisomkachy: Nigerian President Bola Tinubu’s first supplementary budget includes a fleet of SUVs for himself and his wife, a presidential yacht and the renovation of his villa amid a cost-of-living crisis for some of the poorest people in the world.
The proposal — which seeks additional funding beyond the annual budget approved by Tinubu’s predecessor — comes as the government asks Nigerians to persevere through pain caused in part by a raft of economic reforms ushered in by the new president. Africa’s most populous country faces rampant unemployment, soaring food prices and a plummeting currency.
Federal lawmakers approved the president’s request for extra spending on Thursday, but eliminated the provision of 5 billion naira ($6.01 million) to buy a presidential yacht. Instead, they doubled the allocation to a student loan fund to 10 billion naira, according Abubakar Bichi, chairman of an appropriations committee in the House of Representatives.
The lawmakers approved 1.5 billion-naira proposed to purchase SUVs for the office of First Lady Oluremi Tinubu — an amount larger than that allocated to many individual federal colleges. The supplementary budget also proposes almost 6 billion naira to purchase SUVs for the presidency — more than the amount initially allocated to fund a student loan program for poor families.
Melagros: COMRADES are speechless, Tinubu, Buhari, Wike and the evvil APC are a cursše to Nigeria and Nigerians. Imagine, Togo and Leone growing faster ahead of us

Peacecore: Who's even Dele in Nigerian politics sef? By the way Atiku is a known thief
Who is your favourite politician that is not a thief? An incorruptible saint like some were made to believe that Buhari was.
socialmediaman: The 2018 Rating by Transparency International placed Nigeria at 148th position out of 180 countries. Nigeria was improving over the years under the previous government, until Buhari got elected as president, things became worse.
There is a difference between fact and fiction. We need to face facts, Buhari is worse than GEJ when it comes to fighting corruption, at least that’s what the facts prove.
Most of us believed there was corruption under Goodluck Jonathan’s Government. I agree with those who did, there was corruption, but not as bad as it is today under Mohammadu Buhari.
In 2012, Nigeria was placed at 139th position, In 2014, Nigeria gained 3 steps and was placed at 136th position. Under Buhari, Nigeria has lost many positions down to 148th.
There’s no further proof needed that corruption has worsened under Buhari’s government compared to previous years.
Cos everybody dey dump Atiku now. Even his running mate don leave am run.
Atiku is an opportunist. If not for the pepper he show OBJ, he for don be President by now. He was too ambitious, but he really press obj neck that year.
Okowa left to enjoy protection from EFCC’ in Oshiomhole’s Assembly of Past Crooks, APC
Since he stands for nothing, he enjoys support from naive people like himself who allow themselves to be manipulated into voting for ebilokan indirectly.

[quote author=NLCreator post=126854133]Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 elections, has defended the purchase of sports utility vehicles (SUVs) for members of the national assembly.
There have been reports that the leadership of the 10th national assembly has bought SUVs for all lawmakers.
Each SUV is said to be valued at N160 million.
The LP had asked members of the party in the national assembly to kick against “wastage”.
While responding to questions during a press conference in Abuja on Monday, the former governor of Anambra said the SUVs are not personal cars of the lawmakers, noting that they are for official use.
“Let me start with the issue of Labour Party members in the house. I have actually discussed this issue with them,” Obi said.
“Surprisingly, I can tell you I heard that these vehicles are official cars. They have to use it. It is meant for office.
“So it is not as if it is their vehicle. They said it is official cars and you are meant to use it while you are in the senate.”
Obi also hinted at contesting for the country’s number one position in 2027, adding that Nigeria deserves dedicated and visionary leaders who will lead the country towards a brighter future.

Throwback: Dele is only persistent in the belief that he chose to support the wrong/failed candidate, so he will rather just die there.
Just like Aregbesola and Babachir.
Momodu was with Obasanjo, Saraki, Atiku and others led by Tinubu to make his 2011 expired soldier look like APC change messiah when he was nothing but a clueless shege master. The shege that ebilokan has taken to the promax level.
So don’t forget to include Tinubu in your list next time.

Featuredgist: Tinubu Removes FCTA Out Of TSA, Allows Wike Generate IGR
President Bola Tinubu has pulled the Federal Capital Territory Administration ( Facts) out of the Treasury Single Account (TSA).
This, he said, would allow Nyesom Wike-led FCTA to use the territory’s Internally Generated Revenue IGR for the development of the nation’s capital.
on Friday, also disclosed that the President has approved the creation of the FCT Civil Service Commission.
This he said would allow the progression of staff of the FCT Administration. Civil servants in the territory have been complaining of the effects of the absence of such Commission for their career progression.
Ritchiee: Nigeria was down in 2014 when Okonjo began to borrow billions to pay workers because oil began to sell for 78 dollars. They were doing 2 million plus b/d of oil at around 120-150 dollars for more than 4 years..
You should provide credible sources for this information to show you are not a propagandist.
Ritchiee: Do you think that Mrs Okonjo Iweala was confused when she said the truth?
Okonjo-Iweala must have said that to make it easy for her to get favours from the Buhari administration. Moreover how does the borrowing then compare with the amount borrowed now with zero socioeconomic impact?
Ritchiee: What did Jonathan achieve with the humongous revenue that he made during his time if not borrowing money to pay workers in 2014....mtchew End determines means.
Do you know better than ebilokan's finance minister
thisweekng: The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy Chief Olawale Edun has said the last time Nigeria’s economy looked stable was about a decade ago.
He made this statement during his maiden press conference as Minister of Finance where he outlined President Bola Tinubu’s vision, agenda and strategy for the economy.
He said, “I think as we all know, we are not where we should be. The economy is barely growing above the rate of population growth.
“But it was not always so, and I think in trying to look at the way forward, if we now have a situation of slow growth, double-digit inflation, weak/depreciating exchange rate, as well as security concerns that are resulting in an economy that is not growing and not taking Nigerians out of poverty.
“If we think back to the last time when the economy was stable- when it was growing, when inflation was low, and the interest rate was affordable, that period was about a decade ago. Growth was about 6% in 2013 and 2014.” Private sector to drive the economy
Headache to many Lagosians who ebilokan has made jobless and economic nuisance since 1999?
anonimi: The eyesore on Bourdillon Road 2nd January 2025
Beyond his neighbours, there is something about the sight of people hanging around a president’s residence that does not speak well of his leadership capabilities. Maybe no one has nudged him to see it, but the impression that spectacle on Bourdillon Road generates is that Tinubu enjoys the sight of suffering humans and thrives in—and through— their poverty.
If all these years, impoverished people hang around you and you remain comfortable enough to keep them just so they can be handed tokens of your large heart, then it means you have a pro-poverty mindset. Such a frame of mind is oriented toward cultivating poverty rather than stimulating abundance.
That is why he could unproblematically relate the story of his “friend” who went from using five Rolls Royce to a far-less valued car and not consider the import of the nonsense he was saying. That spurious account was an indication that this is a man for whom poverty—of others, not himself—is an ideal.
Maybe Reno has started sniffing the white stuff he accused ebilokan of not so long ago. Otherwise how can he celebrate something that is worse by far than what Jonathan achieved

A 45-year-old resident and father of three, Mr.Fatai Lamide told PUNCH HealthWise that no building in the community has toilet facilities.
The Oyo State-born mechanic said, “We don’t have toilet in this area, including our compound. This canal that you see serves as toilet to all of us living in this area. We defecate inside nylon and throw it inside the canal.
“For people that don’t want to use nylon, they have a special bucket that they use after which they pour it inside the canal too.
The lack of state-owned pipe-borne water in the homes of Lagos residents has continued to be a source of concern, a non-profit group, Corporate Accountability and Public Advocacy Africa (CAPPA) has said.
At a press event to mark this year’s World Water Day, the group said its monitoring team’s visit to state-owned waterworks showed that most of them are not operational.
The group said the waterworks it visited include the ones at Maryland, Mushin, Ikorodu, Obalende, Agbowa, Onikan, Ikoyi, and Amuwo Odofin.
Only the one in Ikoyi is producing water, according to CAPPA.
crackhouse: Fastest growing economy that have produced more poor people than before
That is the paradox of APC extreme poverty propaganda that has rendered more people jobless/underemployed with the value of their wages eroded by hyperinflation due to Buhari's predicted cluelessness that ebilokan has worsened surprisingly.
Anyway, thank God that Yorubalokans have free daily palliative to shield us from this nonsense.

franchasng: Whiteman created monogamy to control overpopulation in the world just as they created democracy. Naturally, humans don't practice democracy in community leadership just as the natural form of man don't practice monogamy.
White people didn’t create monogamy to control overpopulation, since the Catholic Church ordered monogamy in 1505 and the European population growth did not slow down until much later when they transformed from an agrarian society into an urban and industrial one.
Naturally, humans practise democracy, defined as the people having a say about how they are governed. The degree of democracy differs from one group to another and even over time in the same group based on their increasing understanding of the Social Contract. If Jews could oblige their Lord God of Israel to give them a king instead of being ruled by religious judges, then who is a mere mortal to disobey the wishes of the people he leads?
Atiku has indeed shown repeatedly that he is not a desperate politician.

Why do you need to go there when the announcement has failed to reflect in the price of petrol that ebilokan promised to crash before he was allowed to hit the ground running into Aso Rock?
Abi petrol now costs less than it did in January 2023 for your area ??/
However, Tinubu who spoke in Yoruba language, also assured the crowd that though people were saying petrol price would hit N200, it would be reviewed downward under him.
“The great Nigerian youths, the great Nigerian students, the confident Nigerian youths. This is a revolution. This election is a revolution. They are plotting, but they will fail. They said fuel price will increase and reach N200 per litre. Go and relax, we will bring it down,” he had said in the 7th minute of the video.
King Wasiu Ayinde Marshall, a Fuji musician who performed at the rally, interrupted the president’s speech with chants as the crowd cheered.
On the campaign podium with the president were Vice-President Kashim Shettima; Pa Bisi Akande, interim National Chairman of the APC; Femi Gbajabiamila, Chief of Staff to the President; Senator Gbenga Daniel; among other bigwigs of the ruling party.
Tinubu went further to say Nigerians would defy the acute fuel scarcity at the time and trek to cast their votes.
“The great Nigerian youths, the great Nigerian students, the confident Nigerian youths. This is a revolution. This election is a revolution. They are plotting, but they will fail. They said fuel price will increase and reach N200/N500 per litre. Go and relax, we will crash the prices,” he had said.
