Tooreda: Please let's have the other better countries and what makes them better
What makes them better is that they’re not one of the countries with the highest number of extreme poverty and children out of school with kwashiorkor potbelly people who drink water from shitty boreholes.
The federal government is not responsible for water supply in cities and towns. This is the responsibility of states.
500 gallons of water go for N20k. Multiply by 4 in a month, that's N80k. By extrapolation, that's N960k in a year on water alone. Why? Because the governor believes that clean and accessible water is the least of his worries. Yet they prance around like Enugu is Abuja even though the red muddy soil will have residents looking like they went tomb-raiding at night.
But then, considering where it was before Peter Mba, one can understand the accolades being that he moved the town from 16th Century to 17th Century but not anywhere near 20th Century. 21st Century is a stretch. EEDC? The worst of all.
The Permanent Secretary, Office of Drainage Services and Water Resources in Lagos State, Mahmood Adegbite, has said that people drilling borehole in the Lekki axis of the state is probably drinking ‘’shit water.”
While speaking at a stakeholders meeting in the state recently, Adegbite noted that contaminated boreholes in Lekki pose health risk and added that treatment of waste water would eradicate any form of disease that may arise from it.
He said, “On waste water treatment, I will say that everyone digging borehole within the Lekki axis is probably drinking what I will call ‘shit water.’
SolomonGrandi: I don’t know your age sha but if you know these teams - Gateway United, First Bank FC, Union Bank FC, then you’ll know that satellite TV wasn’t available in many Nigerian homes back then yet nobody cared to watch our games on tv or at stadias.
Even till today, you watch the camera angle being shown and you can see why people preferred to watch foreign matches.
I’d rather watch a South African PSL game than bother to watch a local one cos the coverage is very amateurish
How will this coverage improve if you choose xenophobic South Africa instead of being patriotic
SolomonGrandi: Stop kidding yourself … it’s not because of Satellite TV, if that was the case then home-viewership numbers would be very high.
Truth is that it’s due to poor organization, insecurity/hooliganism, useless stadia and worse still political appointment of state FA (who own these clubs) rather than commercial, focused and experienced leadership.
Enyimba with all their achievements cannot boast what Remo stars currently enjoy…
Last last south west clubs like Sporting Lagos and Remo Stars are leading the way in showcasing how clubs should be run. My own S/South naim Dey pain me the most at least northern and SE clubs are becoming more conscious of club administration
Satellite tv drew crowds to oyinbo league games. What home viewership are you talking about here?
Oyinbo league games had similar issues with insecurity and hooliganism in the past, but they were resolved without losing their fans. So why should our own case be different?
Are the south west clubs leading the way because they are privately owned and for PROFIT rather than the historic clubs that are owned by government or private companies and politicians who use them for PR purposes rather than for profit making?
DickenClarq: So sad see how packed and excited the fans are cheering their team. Since the coming of Satellite TV, that marked the end of our once beautiful and competitive league. The revolution will happen soon same way we embraced our Afro pop and Nollywood and transformed it to an international brand, our league will one day attain more than it's Glory days. I have a dream that one day our Football league will sign foreign players worth 100Million Pounds, Euros or Dollars. Our league will be ranked among Top 5 in the world. I will also own a club side with the biggest stadium in Nigeria and I will sign world class players when that time comes. YOU ALL WILL BE INVITED TO COME AND WATCH Derbies or El classicos while sitting in the VVIP section with me So shall it be
You are right about satellite tv impact on our national league.
Meanwhile, what WORKS are you doing for your dream to come true sooner than later
Gotocourt: Money laundering, huge funds are stolen from big projects.
Are we not equally guilty since we don’t expect local, state and federal governments to employ well paid workers to make basic services and utilities like water, available to all households?

Lanretoye: if you like shift the goal post from now till tomorrow,i can attest that none of my family don benefit from what Obi did as a governor buy can you also best your chest and say the same about tinubu...no be to come here and start to call groundnut as beans
What have you and your family members benefited from Tinubu in government services and utilities since 1999 when he grew the state budget 100 times to N4.2 trillion compared with what you all benefited from Jakande in just four years of progressive governance without tax and debt burden on people?
Splashme: The first civilian governor of Lagos State, Alhaji Lateef Jakande, on Tuesday, said that the cancellation of the Lagos metroline project in 1985 was a major mistake and disservice to many Nigerians.
Jakande spoke in Lagos during the launch of a book which chronicled his life in politics and journalism.
The book, entitled, ‘Jakande: Leadership in Action’ is written by Dr. Bola Olaosebikan, who told the audience at the event that the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), was not responsible for the cancellation of the project.
Jakande said, “Reflecting on the metroline project, I think it is a major disservice to many Nigerians. Imagine how many people would have benefitted. It would have made life easier and changed the face of transport in Lagos. Whoever cancelled it or gave the advice towards its cancellation didn’t do right.”
The former governor asked Nigerians not to vote for unserious leaders in the coming polls, saying the elections presented Nigerians with a good opportunity that should not be squandered.
Expressing the hope that Nigeria would soon overcome its developmental challenges, Jakande said hope would be actualised faster if credible people emerged as leaders in the next dispensation.
He said, “This book comes at a very auspicious time in Nigeria’s history as we need leaders who can act. We need leaders who would not compromise the standards of good governance. God has blessed this nation the most in Africa, although we have not reached where we should be; with the right leaders, Nigeria would overcome its challenges.”

WHO SAYS 4 YEARS IN OFFICE IS NOT ENOUGH FOR MEANINGFUL ACHIEVEMENTS?
IT'S A FACT THAT 90% OF GOVERNORS IN NIGERIA SINCE 1999 WITH REVENUES AT THEIR DISPOSAL CANNOT BOAST OF A QUARTER OF THESE ACHIEVEMENTS EVEN WITHIN THEIR EIGHT YEARS IN OFFICE.
Switruth: We dey talk of Dangote you dey talk of Tinubu wey no know map of Nigeria... Tinubu is weak that's why Dangote dey capitalize on it to show us shege.
How is the master strategist of Nigerian a-looter politics weak? The man who has held 20 million smart Lagosians hostage since 1999. The man who fought and grabbed power from Buhari in 2023.
k2money: Who told you he didn't. All candidates buy vote. People go with the highest bidder and sometimes some just stay loyal to their party. It go clear for your eyes when he win again and you continue your wailing.
E don clear for the eye of the tribalistic people who voted him last election.
A large crowd of Lagosians was filmed in a long queue struggling to collect a loaf of bread. To maintain order, several military personnel were on the ground to control the crowd. This has triggered a lot of reactions online.
Watch the video, share your thoughts in the comments.
thesicilian: Google is your friend bro. And there are so many other platforms now that can assist you with information.
I take note that the Sicilian has no understanding of what he said, hence his inability to communicate his views on the Stockholm Syndrome in property owners getting commensurate value for their assets.
k2money: Yes money was share by people who think Tinubu is the cause of ends SARS killing
And Tinubu failed to share money to buy votes as usual for his 27 year old stranglehold over 20 million Lagosians?
NaijaRoyalty: …Says Buhari doesn’t have my kind of money
However, Buhari doesn’t have the kind of money I can steal neither does he have the money I can collect. He doesn’t even have the money for Lagos votes. So, whatever I promise, it’s for real and is coming from my pocket. It’s not until I go to Alausa before I get money to give you.”
Addressing APC supporters on the need to deliver votes, Tinubu said handsome cash rewards await those who can deliver votes for the party.
He said he would not make mistakes of the past where people would collect money in advance and not deliver on election day.
Tinubu added, “Those of you that say you come to Bourdillon for mobilisation, it is mobilisation that we are doing here or don’t you understand? Definitely, if you know people in your neighbourhood, our members, how we used to do.
ufotunang: Nawaaooo.. renewed hope to renewed shege
How do we explain this situation of galloping petrol prices even though Tinubu continues to pay subsidy illegally under a different name to import fuel from their Malta blending plants?
Is Tinubu just stealing all the money?
What other balablu bulaba explanation is there for this voodoo economy paradox
anonimi: NNPCL’s subsidy payment jump by 47.9% to N7.1trn in 2024
November 26, 2025
The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) paid a total of N7.1 trillion as subsidy for premium motor spirit (PMS) in 2024, this sum represents a 47.9 percent increase from N4.8 trillion recorded in 2023.
This is despite the government’s announcement of subsidy removal in 2023.
The company explained that the amount, which it termed ‘energy security expense’ arises when there is differential between the exchange rate used to freeze the premium motor spirit ex-coastal price and the prevailing rate at the point of import settlement.
According to the report, government had instructed that NNPC Limited cannot sell its PMS above a certain regulated price. It added that the cost of petrol import is usually much higher that the regulated price.
Omalicious1: Are we now importing cement through the strait of hormouz?
Not the Strait of Hormuz o. We are importing it through the renewed hopelessness of Aso Rock.
How can we get back our country from the balablu bulaba incompetent clown who fought and grabbed power, only to run cluelessly with it like a headless pig 🐖, causing stagflation to destroy Nigeria.
How do we work together to stop this disaster in Aso Rock?
"Tinubu made living in Nigeria expensive. I will make Nigeria affordable again" - Alhaji Atiku Abubakar
thesicilian: This is just a flimsy excuse. Most of the houses increasing their rent today were built decades ago. How do they justify increasing rent without any single renovation being done?
Are the landlords paying yesterday’s price for their own needs in the market
Switruth: Dangote just dey misbehave. Time will come when he'll realize what he's done to Nigerian people. It's not funny at all.
Mad people everywhere
How is Dangote the same person as the master strategist who promised to crash petrol prices below N185, before he was allowed to grab power from Buhari in 2023?
Deltafirstson: Although the pump price of fuel was N197 when President Bola Tinubu took over on May 29, 2023, the product now sells for N617 per litre – less than two months after.
In his inaugural address, Tinubu announced that subsidy was gone, fulfilling a promise that all leading presidential candidates made during the campaign.
Nigerians have been lamenting the hardship occasioned by fuel price hike. Amid the lamentation, a video where Tinubu campaigned to slash the price of fuel went into circulation.
Checks by Daily Trust affirmed the authenticity of the video uploaded on the YouTube page of Channels Television.
At his campaign rally in Abeokuta, Ogun State capital, on January 25, 2023, Tinubu spoke on a number of issues, but those of fuel scarcity and naira redesign made the headlines.
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.
There will be an end when we get back our country from the balablu bulaba incompetent clown who fought and grabbed power, only to run cluelessly with it like a headless pig 🐖, causing stagflation to destroy Nigeria.
How do we work together to stop this disaster in Aso Rock?

mysticwarrior: My brother every man would most his erection at the sight of that woman's unclothedness, even if the man is drunk no dick will ever answer the call of that woman's body, she is aware of this that was why she opted for cucumber.
Worryingly: Oh my Nigeria. Indeed how the mighty have fallen. Imagine your citizens being slaughtered like Salah ram, left, right and centre and all you do is useless mundane press release. While there are major South African businesses operating in your own country. I'm not even asking for retaliatory killings, but sanctions exist for a reason. Can South Africa allow killing of Egyptians or Moroccans and turn a blind eye? I highly doubt so. I just feel really embarrassed by this. I guess we have become desensitized by the terrorist killings here that we can now casually say 10s of Nigerians are killed and no on raises an eyebrow. The useless government of Nigeria must stand up and be counted.
How can a useful government emerge from among useless people? Even the black pot that yields white pap, is first filled with raw akamu, not so
Are we expecting a miracle or maybe magic to happen here?
Are we no longer using tribalistic zoning and rotation to share the national cake of corruption in local, state and federal governments?
It’s the kind of BS most of us love to hear, because it allows us to continue our tribalistic zoning and rotation in sharing the national cake of corruption, while ironically blaming our oyinbo saviours for our enduring woes, more than six decades after we said that they should leave us alone.
Ironically because we are literally begging for recolonisation, by praying and fasting to japa there since we can’t maintain the level of government services and utilities left to us at independence. Services and utilities provided by well paid professionals in the civil service in local, state and federal governments.
anonimi: Neo-black Problem: Must Blacks Be Ruled by Whites in Order to Prosper?
In short, the neo-black dilemma may be framed as follows: is it better to live under white rule without political dignity but with basic life-sustaining standards for many;
or to live under black rule with illusory political dignity and without basic life- sustaining standards for the majority? @ @ The path forward for Africa lies in cultivating higher and adequate levels of personal and communal agential integrity as well as full personal responsibility and productivity. Not to mention creativity (including epistemic creativity), productive justice (such as merit and freedom), harmony and reconciliation at local and international levels, and a proper domestication of capitalism and other related values and institutions.
Africa must stop wasting her time on dreams of socialism because it is a system of wealth distribution primarily. Whereas, capitalism is a system of wealth creation primarily, and wealth has to be produced before it can be distributed.

A man who lied he founded Americaa University to Address almanjiri problem and the least school fee in his almanjiri solution University is N5.8m per session, pls is that how to address almanjiri problem? Same man promising heaven and hell again now only lazy fools will listen to him.. See below;
Where and how did Atiku say he founded the university for almajiri?
How many lazy fools do you know who listened to Tinubu when he promised to crash petrol prices below N185?
What do you think of what Obasanjo and Ribadu said about the worst rogue politician below?
5 mind-boggling revelations from Obasanjo’s ‘My Watch’
5. Tinubu was one of the most corrupt, of the 36 governors
Obasanjo never got along too well with former Lagos state governor, Bola Tinubu, and unsurprisingly, Tinubu got a mention in the former’s book.
Obasanjo revealed that then EFCC boss, Nuhu Ribadu tried to investigate almost all the state governors during his tenure but that of the 28 confirmed to be manifestly corrupt or tainted one way or the other, Tinubu’s case was one of the worst.
Lagos — ABIA State governor, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu and his Lagos State counterpart, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu would not escape justice but would be made to face the full wrath of the law following their recent indictment for alleged corruption by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Chairman of the commission Mallam Nuhu Ribadu who made the vow yesterday said the duo must account for their stewardship and may be thrown out of office.
