But the truth was that gadaffi was not a terrorist. These same vampires painted him so

Your truth, to which no one can begrudge you.
If Gaddafi was not a terrorist, please why did he not turn Libya into Dubai/UAE, or Kuwait, or Bahrain during his four decades of ruining the country? Do you know

Akwamkpuruamu:
Hmmm.

Brits are just selfish and evil. Thats why they have held naija spell bound against disintegration

You mean that 200 million Nigerians are mumu-nis who keep praying and fasting to japa to do voluntary slavery for the same Brits, even though they risk death in the Sahara desert, Libya and Mediterranean Sea?
Boss, are you sure you know what you are talking about

Viscuz:
Riches from chaos

Was that not how Gaddafi gave millions to Sarkozy for his presidential election campaign

jumper524:
I I was a student, a beneficiary of free education that was second best to unity schools in terms of standard. Free textbooks and massive exposure to first class opportunities.

Stop telling lies. Haba

Is that applicable to all children in Lagos

Sonyboom:
Which state in Nigeria as pipe borne water. Even your capital Abuja does not talk more of wretched state in Alaigbo that will never ever have such even after Jesus as come n gone.

You can’t be an Omoluabi and be inspiring yourself to progress by benchmarking to bad examples.

GamalNasser:
Best governor that couldn't give Lagos pipeborne water in 20 years and couldn't complete a mere 50 km Lekki Epe road in 20 years , that could complete a mer 35 KM light rail line in 20 years ...

God bless you richly for this reminder.
ThiefNuibu is the greatest thief, to ruin Lagosians since 1999, despite the trillions revenue of 23 years plus.

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.

Mandate2023:
which state r u from pls......I hope that must be d 37th state in Nigeria for all u listed to exist there since ur own brain is too big that it has exploded

Lagos state remains d best in Nigeria, give kudos to lagos and stop d bitterness, if u think otherwise show d state that u think stand a chance, even d SS state with all d oil money with less population r disaster

Please why should any of those things exist in a state before it exists in Lagos?
What is your logic for this please

chuksanambra:
Dangote, MTN, NB, Glo also sell in the East. Why are the tax revenues in the East nothing to write home about?

You should engage your brain before replying me.

Because the east was not the capital of the country for decades, with seaports owned by the Nigerian Ports Authority.

Malory:
P Square doesn't identify with their people. So bad.

Is it by a building that you identify with people? Or by getting their governor and LGA chairmen to do all that they are constitutionally required to do, and for which they receive billions monthly allocation plus IGR etc?
What exactly are you talking about? Do you know

chuksanambra:
How much is the useless tax that they are paying?
Dangote, MTN, NB Glo, etc pay more taxes than those guys but you make the most noise about taxes.
If you pay so much in taxes, why is Anambra having one of the least tax compliance figures?
Abeg go and sit down.

See shallow thinking o
Dangote, MTN, NB, Glo sell to who for the taxes to be generated

chuksanambra:
But you blame fulanis from coming to settle in the East. They also have same rights in the East because it is not a separate country.

Peter Obi doesn't have a legacy in Anambra and those supporting the lying thief can't even survive in Anambra for a month before running for their lives back to Lagos.

Mandate2023:
If tinubu catch dis place he go turn am to lekki......if only his from there but its only in ur imagination that tinubu is from where u chose to give him in ur miserable imagination

What percentage of Lagos state is Lekki without pipe borne water in every building, and no free government school for every child?
If you are smart, should you not be concerned that ThiefNuibu is stealing money meant for these basic things? So are you smart

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.

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.

Why can't they live there? What is chasing them from enjoying Anambra that Peter Obi developed?

Because they are not a separate country. Got it

rusher14:
They live in Lagos and only visit "home" when the coast is clear.

Yet, they'll be the first to be cussing Lagos.

Some people really get issues.

Do they pay taxes, tenement rates, VAT, levies, and other IGR items in Lagos?
Can you please share one link where they were cussing Lagos, assuming that you are not a liar

texazzpete:
It was romance fraud, not greed. Why can’t you read, at your age? you have scammed the community that gathered money to pay for your education.

It's just common sense, look at the top employers in private sector, the highest employs less than 20,000

https://www.legit.ng/business-economy/economy/1446251-microfinance-bank-beats-dangote-list-largest-employer-labour-nigeria-2021-revealed/

The total number of full time civil servants in Nigeria is about 500,000, do the math!

I guess that you don't consider those working on farms and artisan workshops plus other informal establishments as employed since they don't have much to do with PENCOM, the source of the newspaper report you shared.

abbey621:
Which salaries Tinubu dey owe?

His record of owing pensioners below and those of south west states that do ishakólé to his bullion vans?
Add to that the non employment of workers to do everything LASG and its 20 LGAs are supposed to do in education. roads, water, sanitation, fire brigade services etc.

abbey621:
His comment was aimed mostly at public service. Government is the largest employer in the nation and those employees definitely have addresses and would hardly ever default on loans. Even if they expanded it to the public at large, the NIN implementation and BVN will shut down most people's willingness to scam loan companies. It is one thing to scam loan apps, it is another to scam the government.

Please can you share this statistics source. Thanks

DukeofUmueri247:
APC is a calamity

So why is Thiefnuibu promising to continue Bubu's failure legacy of calamity

LieDetector:
President Muhammadu Buhari has urged Nigerians to ensure continuity of his regime by voting for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2023 presidential election.

“The forthcoming general elections will provide us with the opportunity to convince the electorate of the need for continuity to enable our party to consolidate on our achievements in the last 7 years,” Mr Buhari said.

The president, according to a statement by his spokesperson Femi Adesina on Friday, disclosed this while receiving a delegation from Nasarawa State.
“The Government and people of Nasarawa State, as usual, have a great role to play in returning our party to governance in the 2023 elections, in order to create a path for greater socio-economic growth and development.

“This is not only important for Nigeria alone but also for the West African Sub-Region,” the president was further quoted as saying.

Mr Buhari assumed office in 2015, promising to tackle corruption, fight insecurity and pursue economic prosperity for every Nigerian.

If he was indeed guilty as you claim why has the Efcc not investigated and charged him? Stop peddling heresays and beer parlour gists for facts.

Which one of his rivals has been investigated and charged by EFCC

BeeBeeOoh:
The former governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi, whose secret and illegal offshore activities PREMIUM TIMES reported in the ongoing Pandora Papers series, has been summoned for questioning by the EFCC, Nigeria’s anti-corruption agency.

It is the first known action by any Nigerian law enforcement agency since PREMIUM TIMES started reporting influential Nigerians involved in offshore shenanigans exposed through the global Pandora Papers investigation. The presidency has directed that Nigerians exposed in the reports be investigated, those with knowledge of the directive have told this paper.

PREMIUM TIMES learnt that the EFCC communicated the invitation to Mr Obi during the week and he has been asked to report at the agency’s Abuja headquarters on October 27 to face investigators.

Sources separately said the invitation is in connection with revelations in our Pandora Papers report. The report exposed how Mr Obi incorporated offshore holdings, which he did not declare to the Code of Conduct Bureau when he served as a governor and how he continued to manage his Next International UK Limited 14 months after becoming a governor. In addition, he also continued to operate a foreign account as a governor.

The south is more United than ever now, when we cut the port and the oil revenue and see what will be fate of hausafalulanis.

Big lie.
If we are united why is Thiefnuibu the APC flagbearer?
And why did Igbo delegates to PDP primaries not vote for their own candidate, given that most reasonable Yorubas, led by the Afenifere were rooting for Igbo president

SATANICALLY666:
Yoruba socio-cultural group, Afenifere, Middle Belt Forum, Pan Niger Delta Forum and the Tiv Nation have endorsed the quest by the South-East to produce the next president of Nigeria in 2023.

The groups demanded restructuring before the 2023 general election in order to guarantee its continued co-existence as one country.

Their position was made known during the launch of Power Shift Movement and Forty Million Ballots Movement in Awka, Anambra State, which was hosted by the President of Youths Off the Street Initiative, Kennedy Iyere.

Secretary-General of Afenifere, Chief Sola Ebiseni, who was represented by leader of Yoruba nation self-determination group, Chief Ayo Adebanjo, said the group was in support of the South-East producing the next president.

He said, “Southern presidency is a means to an end. It is not something to celebrate because even if we have a Southern president, you cannot have one more powerful than Obasanjo and nothing is being done.The fundamental thing is restructuring. But in the meantime, let those who have not tasted it, let them have it.”

He maintained that the Yoruba nation was not happy that Igbo people were not coming out to declare their interest for the position even when people of Southern Nigeria have declared support for them.

“We hear people from the South-West want to be president, and even in the North which we have said has had enough for now; they want to be president. I have not seen men from the South-East come out and say that they want to be president. It is not a matter of newspapers or reeling out statistics. It is a question of let us see these men. If you don’t take your destiny in your hand politically, it will continue to be statistics on the pages of the newspaper."

Where did liar liar Peter Obi lead Anambrarians for eight years, except looting, looting and more looting?
Where else did he lead them?
Same old trick of pretending to be a stingy saint like Bubu and his Milo sachets that led us into this hellhole pit of corruption since 2015.

Reference:
Urban infrastructure takes much longer due to access and obstruction.
The logistics in getting materials to site alone on a daily basis is hectic as there is nowhere to store anything closeby not to talk about the cost and difficulty of relocation of existing structures and services.

That is why in other climes where possible they just go underground, but Lagos being practically at groundwater level this will be impracticable or horrendously expensive.

So relax. No city in the world builds to finish a metro in a generation.
The only thing they could have done better was to concentrate on a single line for completion, the most important line before embarking on expansions from this line to serve other locations.

Is it Abuja or Addis Ababa that is not an urban area?
What will it take to redeem you from your suffering and smiling Stockholm syndrome affliction?

SB2020:
Interesting facts about Addis Ababa and Lagos light rail projects.

Addis Ababa / Lagos
Cost == $475Million / $1.2Billion
Length == 34km / 27km
Time to Complete == 4years / 7years (projected)
Year Awarded == 2011 / 2008 (Construction began 2010)
Contractor == China Railway Eng. Corp (CREC) /Chinese Civil Eng. Constr. Coy (CCECC)
Population == 5Million / 20Million
GDP == $50Billion (Ethiopia) / $100Billion (Est.) (Nigeria - $535B)


Ethiopia has managed to deliver Sub-Saharan Africa’s first modern light rail project which opened in the capital Addis Ababa on Sunday, and in the process, beat Lagos whose own rail project remains four years behind schedule.

Ethiopia’s rail project was delivered on time, despite its being longer than the Lagos – Badagry rail line currently under construction.

Addis Ababa’s two line 34-kilometre system was built by the China Railway Engineering Corporation (CREC) and cost $475m, 85 percent of which has been covered by China’s Exim bank. The Lagos Light Rail Project or Blue on Badagry Expressway, was to have 13 stations from Okokomaiko to Marina via Iddo for a total of 27 kilometres.

The contract was awarded to the Chinese Civil Engineering Construction Company (CCECC) at the cost of $1.2 billion in 2008, and was to be delivered in 2011. Survey work took one year between August 2009 and August 2010 while construction began July 2010.

The work is being implemented using the public and private partnership (PPP) model, whereby the state builds the infrastructure and the private sector provides the rolling stock and management. However, the project has not worked out according to the plan.
The 2011 deadline was missed, even though the State government got a loan to fund the project.
