senatordave1: Honestly,he is doing well silently without flooding the media with propaganda.second term over sure
What improvements has he made in the ratio of doctors, nurses, pharmacists, laboratory technicians and other medical professionals to the number of people in the state?
nedu666: We no go gree. Tinubu built lagos, paris, dubai, Monaco etc
What of Chicago where he schooled and London where he also goes for medical tourism since his Lagos is a glorified ghetto of a shithole
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.
itubaba001: Lagos, the commercial hub of Nigeria, has been ranking as one of the worst places to live in the world for the nine straight years, a BusinessDay analysis shows.
Data from the 2019 Global Liveability Index published by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), the world’s leader in global business intelligence, shows the city has been within the range of 137th-139th position out of a total of 140 cities in the world from year 2011-2019. > > The EIU examines the quality of health care, education, infrastructure, stability, and culture when assessing living conditions of each city. More than 30 factors are taken into account when calculating each rank, which are then complied into a weighted score between one and 100.
Goldsplash: Seun and nairaland mods can do more for our local league by moving the matches to the front page on match days.
Let's all contribute our little quota for the league to come back to life.
This is a gold splash comment, walahi. I’m just wondering how it didn’t occur to me earlier. Well done boss and I hope Seun and his supermods have taken note to do the needful every NPFL match day.
I hope you don't mean the balablu ThiefNuibu used to smuggle himself into Aso Rock with the clueless help of gbajue Peter Obi. The shege promax from that magic no be here bro.
jameshankss: Anambra State Governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, has said he is sure the candidate of Labour Party (LP), Mr Peter Obi, would lose the 2023 presidential election. Soludo said he would not submit to the bullying of Obi’s supporters, who recently descended on him for addressing issues in the state.
The governor made the comments in a lengthy write-up personally authored, with the title, “History Beckons, and I Will Not Be Silent (Part 1).”
Soludo said Obi was inadvertently making the pathway to victory much easier for the presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, and at the same time, toying with the destiny of millions of Ndigbo.
SoNature: The winner of the Nigerian Premier League gets N150 million. If they can increase it to N500 million, I see private people getting involved and state governors building better sporting facilities. Enugu Rangers is definitely winning this league.
Who will put down the money to increase the prize, if not the private people?
Should you not be pushing for the clubs and the league itself to be fully privatised and deregulated like the telecom sector? How many European clubs and leagues are owned and run by the government? How was our music industry when Tony Okoroji was doing babiallah almajiri begging for government patronage?
Can you imagine how much Rangers can be sold for and listed on the NSE with 10% reserved for the supporters
pansophist: China is one of the most difficult countries to migrate to.
Even if you marry a Chinese person, you will not be granted citizenship. And if you are among the 'exceptionally small' number of people granted Chinese citizenship, you must renounce whichever citizenship you previously had.
If China made living in their country easy, I swear to God, I would move there and live there. So cut the crap, thinking the West is the best. I have been around, Asia, Africa, and Europe. Southeast Asia and China in particular are far advanced and ahead of the West.
So stop living in the past, and onboard the future. China is better. China is the future.
Should cutting the crap not be that well travelled blacks like you enlighten enough others to make Africa the future, instead of being ingrates to the whites who are providing what we fail to provide for ourselves
Has it occured to you why the Chinese don't want anything to do with us blacks in their country? Perhaps it has to do with the reason why we are the only race who sold its own massively to other races- Arabs and whites?
EcoNews: You have to be Igbo because only your type reason so shabbily.
If you are not reasoning both shabbily and slavishly, won't you be concerned as an omoluabi that in 25 years ThiefNuibu and his puppets have milked Lagosians dry to the bones with IGR levies without doing any of the progressive things done by Jakande in just four years with very little comparative revenues?

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.
The Lagos Redline Metro is a game-changer for mass movement in Lagos, Nigeria. The 37km rail line connects Agbado in Ogun State to Oyingbo in Lagos, with notable stops at Ikeja, Oshodi, Mushin, Yaba, and Oyingbo
President Bola Tinubu inaugurated the Red Line Rail Project on February 29, 2024. The Red Line will share the right-of-way with the Lagos-Kano Standard Gauge Railway The Red Line is envisioned as a vital metro link within the Lagos-Ibadan rail corridor
The Red Line is expected to carry over 500,000 passengers daily, reducing commute times and improving air quality by decreasing traffic congestion The project also includes the construction of 10 vehicular overpasses and pedestrian bridges to ensure the safe separation of train traffic from car and pedestrian movement
In short, the project is not complete and it is not carrying any passenger since February, which is five months ago
Is this a cover for the reckless looting of Lagosians by Sanwo Olu, like his three predecessors since 1999?
pansophist: I know about Gonzalez Lira, and I also saw videos where men are snatched from the street to be thrown to war.
The way I see the world, you can tell that a country is independent if the West hates it. So think Russia, China.
If Russia and China goes down, then evil has prevailed. They are the last bloc for the ushering of a complete, western dominated order, and I can only imagine how such a world will be.
I don't want to live in it. Judging from their actions everywhere.
Are you living in Russia, China or even Cuba or North Korea
senatordave1: It has worked.Apc will win Edo massively
Just as APC won the presidency due to gbajuẹ Peter Obi’s labour in vain desperation that split PDP’s votes and made ebiNpawa ẹnikanlomọ shege ThiefNuibu’s mandate possible
seunmsg: When did Nigerians start deciding who becomes the presidential candidate of PDP? Money has been deciding PDP’s candidate since 1999 and money will decide the candidate in 2027. Atiku used millions of dollars to buy the ticket in 2019 and 2023 and expect Peter Obi can outspend him, Atiku will still win the ticket in 2027 and Obi will go back to LP or any other mushroom party that can accommodate him.
Balablu incoherent wailing 😭 of a BATeria patient of hypocrisy.
Are we supposed to forget how Buhari became APC presidential candidate in 2015, four years after ThiefNuibu made him cry 😢 on tv because he called him CPC’s expired leadership compared to ACN’s Nuhu Ribadu and Fola Adeola.
Propaganda hypocrisy is so easy and nice to burst.
Sources close to the APC with knowledge of the way the Primaries unfolded have revealed that it was Rivers State Governor, Amaechi who flew back to Rivers State and returned to Lagos on Thursday morning with enough dollars to make Benjamin Franklin blush.
It has been revealed that Atiku offered the delegates $5000 each, but Amaechi doubled it to $10000 a pop. Thus turning the tables in favour of General Buhari.
Since his adventure into the APC, Amaechi has gone out of his way to prove himself a party loyalist, always the first to shoki or azonto at the many events the APC holds, which he himself is usually the chief sponsor.
According to party insiders, Amaechi has overtaken Tinubu as the major financier of the party. One does not need to wonder why he is always at President Jonathan’s throat over misappropriated oil wells or other such business. Anything that diminishes from the State’s coffers will have a ripple effect on his funding budget for the APC.
Gerrard59: Your first paragraph is a very good strategy or development initiative. I like it. I think Singapore did the same with excess export earnings. Hopefully, Namibia and Guyana do the same with their oil revenues when the time comes.
I am not against such, but I am more interested in economic growth and subsequent prosperity first. You cannot tax your way to prosperity.
Based on what you know/may find out about South Korea, China, Japan, India etc economic growth and subsequent prosperity, is free basic education and healthcare critical to achieving it?
Gerrard59: I mentioned infrastructural and economic development, not just the former. I am a capitalist, an unrepentant one at that. I am all for economic performance regardless of how the governing country is. Economic prosperity comes before knowing how to maintain infrastructure. Hungry people aren't interested in maintaining anything. And even after prosperity, they don't know how to maintain their infrastructures, well, you lease the maintenance to those who do. The koko is to be prosperous.
I am also more of a private sector focused capitalist but understand the need to tax the rich progressively and make them donate for every single child to have free education and for every single resident to have basic healthcare, equitable law and order etc that are carried on by adequately educated and compensated workers.
Is this not a fundamental difference between us blacks in widespread poverty, and the rich races?
If you understand that, then why don’t you emphasise it in your posts
Frost124: it was never my mom, my dad already knew he was the on that infected her
Is this depressing matter on top of the one below
Are you manly now? Have the embarrassing moments stopped?
Frost124: Goodday nairalanders.. the topic may sound weird but I am going through a lot mentally.... I am a guy but I have observed that sometimes I act like a woman.. Trust me, I am not gay, I love girls a lot but the issue is I have observed that people tend to talk behind me that I behave and act like a girl and this has put me down both mentally and emotionally... It's so deep that I am depressed all the time and sometimes I even think about committing suicide. I don't know what to do to change all this, I am thinking it's mental problem or something else I just don't understand... Mind you... I love women a lot.. I just don't know why I act This way.... I will need you contribution on how to remedy this, Thanks
SpecialAdviser: Useless BATerians that supported this evil government even hailing the drug lord when he visited UK should return back to Nigeria.
People running away from their country and supporting the perpetuation of evil.
There is enough accommodation at Obalende under bridge.
God bless Obidients all over the world.
ObiDense followers need to be cursed for helping ThiefNuibu’s Emilokan dream happen.

Gerrard59: Paul is incompetent. Lee Kuan Yew lasted over 30 years before stepping aside. Guess who? His son.
If Paul is competent in terms of infrastructural and economic development, fine by me. Anyway, as someone stated, he is going nowhere so far he is on the same page as West is.
Why are you so obsessed with infrastructural development without emphasising services and utilities as well as maintenance despite your own education and exposure in countries that have electricity, water & sanitation, healthcare, law & order etc functioning?
Is this why you expect us blacks to forever be inferior to whites for them to determine Biya’s reign rather than the people of Cameroon, as the people of Japan do for their PM
Krankhead: Focus on the governors of yoyr sate and region. Let Lagos breath
Focus on the failures of Sanwo Olu and his predecessors to use the increased resources from widening the tax base of the poor in the past 25 years to do anything like Jakande did in four years, and even the first governor of Lagos at its creation in 1967, Mobolaji Johnson did in six years without burdening the masses with taxes and loans to be repaid by uneducated agberos in the future.

thesicilian: Just say you don't understand what they're talking about
Just admit that ThiefNuibu’s magic wand is for raising agberos like MC Oluomo instead of improving the ratio of teachers to students in free primary, vocational and secondary schools.
The olodo idẹ is actually an olodo dumbo in the provision of common services and utilities since 1999, which Sanwo Olu’s grammar can’t remedy.

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.
Fire4fireNL: This is the same position I've always maintained - all politicians are packaged fraud.
Don't come here and start wailing that one is holier than the other.
Nigerians were presented with 3 packaged fraudulent presidential aspirants in 2023, we only managed to pick the best packaged of them all.
One thing is certain though - Peter Obi never won that election. He performed woefully in the North. That alone cost him that election. He himself knows this... and any reasonable follower(s) should know this too.
They all rigged massively... I mean all three major political party rigged, but the best rigger won. Now, we have a president.
In terms of performance, I believe the Bola Tinubu's administration is on the right track to carry out the necessary reforms to push the country to greater heights in the years ahead (Long-term). Honestly, these reforms are needed if we must compete with other world economies. We can't continue doing same thing year and year again, expecting a different result. A reboot is needed, and I so much believe now is the right time.
What did ThiefNuibu’s reforms achieve in Lagos for the past 25 years, apart from widening the tax base to include petty market traders?
Realdeals: 1. The first governor to present a billion Naira state budget in Nigeria.
2. He phased out the shift system in Lagos schools in three months. He built functional classrooms to absorb those who only attend schools for three hours a day.
3. He opened up what is now known as the Lekki Corridor.
4. He built the biggest Housing estate by a state government at Abesan, along with five other estates.
5. He built LASU, LACOED, LASPOTECH and Technical schools to absorb the products of the free education policy.
6 He built General Hospitals and Health centers in all the five divisions of Lagos. He also upgraded General Hospital Ikeja to the Medical arm of LASU.
7. He created the Agric hub at Oko Oba. He also created similar hubs in Ikorodu, Epe and Badagry.
8. His government’s strict adherence to the party manifesto of Free Education, Free Health care, Rural integration and Housing for all, along with other UPN governors, created the largest pool of human resources in Nigeria.
9. He moved the Lagos State Government Secretariat from PWD to Alausa, which he built from scratch. He also lived in his personal house and drove his personal car throughout his tenure.
mrvitalis: Build nothing? This Awolowo sickness is really deep rooted... All u know is build infrastructure and pay workers to u that's business
There is only one way to measure governance that's improvement of SDGs goes under your reign... And no body in the history Nigeria has performed better then Obi
Obi improved HDI by almost 30% in 8 years and you don't even know what that means I guess.. Sometime just shut up
How did he improve it by so much without significant changes in free public school enrolment, public health care, water supply etc
Since he failed in water supply he could only do borehole in the north for his desperate attempt to make them forget his Yes Daddy religious war balablu fumbles.
hisgrace090: Mr sowore pls don't just look down on the person of Peter obi just because you needed a chance to contest as a president. No amount of bad mouth can stop him. Peter is a man of integrity!
Man of IntegriThief you must mean.
SATANICALLY: In a 2018 interview, Peter Obi said he invested $20 million in International Breweries on behalf of Anambra state as a governor.
Obi’s claim was in response to questions on economic development, Anambra politics and his presidential ambition.
“… Anambra state is the single-highest shareholder in that facility. I invested in it, over $20 million,” Obi had said.
“It is worth almost $100 [million] today. That’s what government should do.”
TheCable had previously fact-checked some of the claims.
Chukwuma Soludo, governor of Anambra, also debunked a recent statement ascribed to him regarding the investment.
International Breweries (IB) Plc is a subsidiary of the world’s largest brewer, Anheuser-Busch InBev (AB InBev) — a multinational drink and brewing giant based in Leuven, Belgium.
In its 2021 audited financial statement, the company said it holds 43 percent economic interest in International Breweries Plc, a publicly listed company in Nigeria.
According to a report by The Nation, AB InBev merged its Nigerian operations under a single corporate entity in 2017. It had three indirect Nigerian subsidiaries — International Breweries Plc, Intafact Beverages Limited and Pabod Breweries Limited. SABMiller Nigeria Holdings BV — another subsidiary of AB InBev — was also a major stakeholder in Intafact and Pabod.
ANAMBRA’S INVESTMENT
In a statement made available to TheCable on Tuesday, Ifeatu Onejeme, Anambra’s commissioner of finance, confirmed that Peter Obi’s administration invested the sum of N1,955,535,247.00 (an equivalent of approximately $12,616,356.43 at the then average CBN exchange rate of N155.00/$1) in Intafact Beverages Limited, a green-field brewery set up in Onitsha by SABMiller Breweries of South Africa in 2012.
Onejeme added that the state government still holds 407,321,264 ordinary shares of International Breweries Plc in exchange for the Intafact Beverages Limited investment.
“Based on the NGX closing price of N5.50 as of 20/6/22, these shares were valued at N2,240,266,952 on that date,” the statement reads in part.
“Based on the Central Bank of Nigeria I&E exchange rate of N415.75/US$1.00 on same June 20, 2022, this investment was valued at an equivalent of approximately US$5,388,495.37 (and at N604/$1.00 parallel market rate, only US$3,709,051.24).”
