daygee12: What did ur governor construct in ur state? Lagos state will start treating u the way u people treat other tribe in ur yeast
Is this about his state? If he is in Lagos, is he not paying taxes, tolls, levies, rates etc that make up the IGR Thiefnuibu loots instead of providing the basics to Lagos residents? Is that something you can understand, or you are too deep in your Stockholm syndrome to be redeemed
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 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.
Lanrelagboi: Good morning Lagos. Please allow me to serve you as breakfast the level of work on the Yaba-Oyingbo and Ebutte Metta flyovers for the soon-to-be-completed RED LINE Rail Project by Lagos 001 @jidesanwoolu. It’s promise delivered #ForAGreaterLagos.
Promise that was delivered by Fashola since June 2013, some 13 years after Thiefnuibu announced it as part of his ofege masterplan that did not include recruiting enough teachers for all Lagos children to be in free primary, vocational and secondary schools. Do you and Sanwo Olu know what you are talking about, or you are just a bunch of fraudulent scammers ni
anonimi: Lagos light rail’ll be ready in June – Fashola January 9, 2013
The Lagos State Governor Babatunde Fashola on Tuesday said the first phase of the state Blue Light Rail project would be completed by June this year(2013).
He expressed confidence that Lagosians would start enjoying the services of the rail project immediately.
The first phase would run from Marina and terminated at Okokomaiko area in Ojo Local Government.
Fashola spoke during an inspection of ongoing projects in the state which took him and his cabinet members to Orile-Iganmu, Alimosho and Ejigbo areas among others to assess the level of works being done by contractors.
The governor, who inaugurated the trackwork of the blue light rail at Alaba Suru, Coker-Agunda Local Council Development Area, said the level of work on the road and those of the National Theatre and Alaba-Mile 2 rail stations, would ensure early completion
He said, “In order to finish the project, the contractor did not go on vacation during the festive period. This will ensure that the project is delivered on time for the use of Lagosians.
“The first section of this rail, which started from National Theatre, Orile-Iganmu to Mile 2 Bus Stop, would be fully completed with the tracks laid.
“Construction work will continue on the project from Orile-Iganmu to Marina, the expansion work on the road from Mile 2 to Okokomaiko will also be intensified.
“This is what we do with the loan collected by the government. We don’t use our loan to pay salaries and other recurrent expenditure, what we do with our loan is to provide capital projects that would serve the residents.
“When the project is completed, the state would be at par with other major cities of the world.”
advanceDNA: Maybe you dont get socialjustice.. In reality do you know the actual steps it takes to impeach a sitting President??.
In Nigeria...its not like the UK.....it's more than just passing a vote of no confidence by two thirds of the house of assembly....a vote of no confidence is not enough in nigerja..
First ..the senate needs to raise a case of gross misconduct against the president....now, the security efforts of the president is by law not a gross misconduct... his efforts are not just effective to solve the problem at hand...
Even if it can be proven as gross misconduct the Senate president still has to pass the motion of the house to a set up-panel to investigate the matter, which can take forever...the panel na we-we ooooo
If the panel finds the president guilty indeed of gross misconduct....the senate president will move the findings of the panel to the justice department ..
The justice department/chief justice which is also the president' s boy will setup a panel to try the president....if he is guilty.. the reault will now be taken back to the Senate again for two-thirds of the member of house to agree....
Note that if any of the steps doesnt fly..like if two thirds doesnt agree or the panel setup says they there's no proof of misconduct...the Impeachment ends there immediately....
My oga.....the senate president, the justice department, more than two thirds of the house, and the members of the panel that will be set up are all in the pockets of APC/the president...
In short....impeaching a sitting president cannot happen in an insane country like nigeria...it is a future impossible tense...
They are just playing film for us to make us feel they are doing something ...its a fraud according to socialjustice earlier comment..
It's a process rigged with too many loop holes for failure...
jeffizy: Common, she should have included purchase of an helicopter in the budget before buying the property.
Blacks and selfish thoughts rather than community thoughts. Why can't she lobby for the light rail to be done after 23 years of failed attempts by Thiefnuibu, Fashola, Ambode and Sanwo-Olu to revive what Jakande started in 1983 before Bubu cancelled it in 1984? Is that not how oyinbos do in their own societies to make us want to japa there
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.”

BrownCookie: We know. Truly, we all do. But in any given circumstances, there are bound to be deviants. However, come 2023 everybody will be OBIDIENT
Is Obi not as much a fraudulent failure as Thiefnuibu and the other candidates, but pretending to be a saint to scam us as Bubu did in 2015 with his Milo sachets stunts and I-no-get-money for nomination form while his children were in expensive schools abroad? How many times should we allow ourselves to be fooled before we wise up
dryakson: You guys will keep exposing una sef. Useless leaders
Allowed to ruin the country by insensitive and even more useless 200 million Nigerians? Do you know who your representative is? Do you know his legislative agenda and achievements
Voice234: “I have long been a champion of public education in Nigeria, and I have consistently advocated programs, policies and investments to improve the quality of public education in the country.”
Champion of public education yet less than 10% of Lagos schools are owned by government How many teachers were recruited by LASG since 2003 that he has been a representative? Instead, he and his political sponsor have turned Lagos into almajir state of uneducated/ badly educated area boys, agberos etc.

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.
Maxymilliano: Also, contrary to Tinubu’s statement that Atiku was drafted into the party without being a founding member, Akande had alluded to the fact that the formation of the party was a joint effort by major stakeholders, including Atiku.
“It was the second time Tinubu was tantalisingly close to the VP slot. In 2007, we formed a party, the AC, with Abubakar Atiku. We agreed that Atiku should be our presidential candidate and we had the understanding that he would run with Bola Tinubu.
Lies, propaganda, fraud and all manner of crimes is what the Thiefnuibu agbero legacy is built upon. Nothing else.
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.

Femi Gbaja Biamila, surname also spelled Gbaja-Biamila and Gbajabiamila is a Nigerian lawyer, All Progressives Congress politician, and Minority Leader of the House of Representatives.
According to case file published by Leagle, Inc. a leading provider of copies of primary caselaw from all Federal courts and all State higher courts in America, referred to as Femi Gbaja, he admits violating Rule 1.15(I) of the Georgia Rules of Professional Conduct set forth in Bar Rule 4-102(d).
The case reads, “This disciplinary matter is before the Court on Respondent Femi Gbaja’s Petition for Voluntary Discipline, which was filed under Bar Rule 4-227(b)(2) before a formal complaint was issued. In his petition, Gbaja admits violating Rule 1.15(I) of the Georgia Rules of Professional Conduct set forth in Bar Rule 4-102(d). Although a violation of this rule is punishable by disbarment, Gbaja requests the imposition of a 24-month suspension. He agrees, however to accept a suspension of up to 36 months.”
It says “Gbaja, who has only been a member of the Bar since 2001, admits that he accepted payment of $25,000 as settlement of a client’s personal injury claims, deposited those funds in his attorney trust account in January 2003, failed to promptly disburse those funds to his client, withdrew those funds for his own use, closed his practice and moved out of the country”.
The Minority Leader of the House of Representatives and one of the contenders for the position of Speaker, Femi, according to the case published by the Leagle, Inc.
“Gbaja admits violating Rule 1.15(I) of the Georgia Rules of Professional Conduct set forth in Bar Rule 4-102(d). Although a violation of this rule is punishable by disbarment, Gbaja requests the imposition of a 24-month suspension. He agrees, however to accept a suspension of up to 36 months.”.
In the Matter of Femi GBAJA, Supreme Court of Georgia, February 26, 2007 cited that, although Gbaja ultimately paid the $25,000 to his client in 2006, he admits his conduct violated Rule 1.15(I) and that, as a result, he is subject to disbarment.
“In mitigation of his actions Gbaja asserts that he has cooperated fully with disciplinary authorities, repaid his client, and is extremely remorseful for the consequences of his conduct. Under these circumstances, we conclude that a 36-month suspension is an appropriate sanction. Accordingly, Gbaja hereby is suspended for a period of 36 months. He is reminded of his duties under Bar Rule 4-219(c).”
Gbaja widely reported as the favourite candidate of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, a leader of the APC, to emerge the 8th speaker of Nigeria’s House of Representatives, is said to have attended Marshall Law School in Chicago, Illinois, United States, and the University of Lagos.
Gbaja Biamila was elected to the House in 2003, and re-elected in 2007. He represents the Surulere I constituency of Lagos State (see Nigerian National Assembly delegation from Lagos) in the House of Representatives.
Gbajamiala, APC, Lagos, is considered one contestant to beat in the race for the speakership of the House of Representatives but he is equally up against strong opponents who are eyeing the seat. They include the Chairman, Committee on House Services, Mr. Yakubu Dogara , APC, Bauchi, Deputy Chairman, House Committee on Constituency Outreach, Mr. Pally Iriase, APC, Edo, Chairman, Committee on Agriculture, Mr. Mohammed Monguno, Borno, APC and Chairman, Committee on Finance, Mr. Abdulmumin Jibrin, APC, Kano.
There were insinuations that the All Progressives Congress, APC, had zoned the position of Speaker to the South West where Gbajabiamila comes from, but the party has denied the allegations on the matter, practically suggesting that it may be having hard times deciding on it zoning arrangement.
But sources within the party believe Femi is the candidate to beat for the position as Speaker of the 8th assembly come June shortly after the inauguration….
What happened to Alhaji LIE Mohammed's 2015 pre-Christmas declaration of technically defeating the terrorists?
SignalNG1: The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said on Wednesday that the Nigerian military had met the December deadline to defeat the Boko Haram terrorists.
The minister said this during his maiden meeting with editorial heads of media houses in Lagos.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that President Mohammadu Buhari had, upon assuming office, issued a December 31 deadline to the military to defeat the Boko Haram terrorists.
“Today, I can report that the war against Boko Haram is largely won.
“I can confidently say this because just recently, I led a group of 33 journalists from both the local and international media to the hot bed of the insurgency, that is, Maiduguri, Kondugua, Kaoure and Bama.
“Today, I can report to you that the entire 70 plus kilometres stretch from Maiduguri to Bama and all the way to Banki which leads to Cameroun and the Central African Republic are in the hands of our gallant troops.”
He said the military presence could be felt ”every few metres along the road; at a point along that road we were just a kilometre to Sambisa forest.
“They have so degraded the capacity of Boko Haram that the terrorists can no longer hold on to any territory just as they can no longer carry out any spectacular attack.”
Billygee2u: The insecurity in in NIgeria that's wasting lives and properties will surely catch up with you and your family and your next generations
Until then, 200 million prayerful citizens without the priviledged security protection of ministers will continue to be sacrificed on the altar of incompetence wrapped in lies and propaganda. Not so
omenka: Oh keep quiet already ol' man. Shit's terrible out here. Abuja is no longer the safest place there is in the country.
God bless Senator Smart Adeyemi for speaking the truth. He said everything that needs to be said regarding the present situation. I sincerely hope this doesn't negatively impact the 2023 election calender.
Was the senator smart enough to return his excess total package that dwarfs the earnings of lecturers and doctors who should be adding serious value to the society? Does he return the excess or he is just about hypocrite talk? Please why should God bless him for just talk that is not matched by action
InvertedHammer: / We are between the devil and deep blue sea.
If they fail to release the money, Buhari and the cabals with call their boys to go to work. With fear in the system, the money will be released by force.
They are looking for funds for the election and they have released their foot soldiers into Abuja. The Senate will hurriedly approve billions soon. The format is clear and simple.
/
And the 200 million Nigerians are simple and mumus as Lagbaja called us
Yeah, that is how Americans, Canadians, Britons and other places Nigerians dey japa to simply pray and wait for God to judge all their leaders at the local, state and federal levels in the legislative and executive arms. Is that not why their countries are so attractive for Nigerian graduates to be thankful to God for having security guard jobs in freezing winter and risk death
SocialJustice: Impeachment is a fraud that is commonly misunderstood. Taking a cue from the impeachment of Donald Trump, impeachment is like passing a vote of no confidence on the president. The president can not be removed from office through the process. Maybe it is different in Nigeria.
How was Nixon removed? How have PMs of Britain being removed? Even in Oyo Empire, were Alaafins not removed more brutally through suicide? So what is your confused statement about please
WATCHOVER: It's going to be a very hard nut to crack, impeachment process in Nigeria is very weak. It takes grace, I mean heavy one.
The Military are cashing out because the political gladiators decides to politicize and monetize everything. Just imagine Presidential election the Amount each security chiefs get and they are paid in hard currencies like Pounds. Politicians forget that the Military wants the civil system to be redicled
I thought that Buhari and Obasanjo are (former) soldiers at General level, not so The politicians must be happy and laughing at how the citizens who should hold them accountable for performance on the jobs they asked for voluntarily are making excuses for their failures.

Esseite: So graduates don't do security jobs here in Nigeria?... The difference is the dignity in Labour you have over there, You could be anything and still respected while increasing your credit rating to afford the dream you always wanted.
And who is responsible for the shithole we have here? Leaders only? Or all of us who complain eternally but do nothing, absolutely nothing to get serious with community service as the oyinbos do
Unfortunately a tree does not make a forest, otherwise the north will be leading in Unity Schools cut off points for admission, VAT contribution etc instead of being a waste basket of all the negatives in the country. Not so
MyopicMods: Nigerian Government Puts Cut-Off Marks Into Unity School At 134 Average For South-East, Anambra 139, As Low As 2 Marks For Zamfara State.
The Federal Ministry of Education pegs cut-off marks for admission into the 104 unity schools nationwide at 134 on average for the five South-East states, while states in the North have cut-offs of 20 marks and even below.
This cut-off is out of a total 300 marks.
SaharaReporters obtained the cut-off lists as released by the Ministry for the 2020/2021 academic year, showing the huge disparity between the cut-off marks which candidates from South-East and South-West states should have and what the candidates from North should obtain.
According to the breakdown, Anambra has the highest cut-off of “139 marks for both males and females; Imo 138; Enugu 134, Lagos 133; Delta 131, Ogun 131, Abia 130 and Edo.”
Osun and Oyo also are among the 10 top with the highest cut-off marks with both of them having 127 marks.
SaharaReporters observed that the least 10 cut-off marks for Unity Schools are all northern states; Gombe 58; Nasarawa 58; Borno 45; Jigawa 44, Bauchi 35; Kebbi has 9 for males and 20 for females.
Also, Sokoto has 9 for males and 13 for females; Zamfara has 4 marks for males and 2 for females.
Taraba and Yobe are the least states with Taraba having 3 for males and 11 for females while Yobe has 2 for males and 27 for females.
The cut-off marks were reportedly released by the National Examination Council.
“Some pupils are admitted into Unity schools with as low as two marks in the common entrance examinations while some can only get into the same schools with at least 130 marks. Slowly mediocrity has crept in.
“While a candidate from Anambra State has to struggle for 139, a candidate from Zamfara is looking for just 4 marks. Yes, it is true that the quota system is meant to give educationally disadvantaged regions of the country an opportunity to access quality education, but that gap is ridiculous.
“Merit should also be a strong consideration,” an education expert, who did not want his name in print, explained.
princepeter566: The best thing for wike to do now is to be in PDP and work for Peter obi for president. Even if they support atiku he'll still not win.
Peter Obi the Pandora rogue and liar liar failure? Who is taking that one serious
Penguin2: Shey the driver of that truck dey mad ni?
Maybe he is because Wike and other governors failed to provide free education to him and his children in primary, vocational and secondary schools. Even Thiefnuibu's Lagos is doing poorly on this despite claims to being progressive like Jakande and Awolowo.
