Since national cake is shared, presidency must be shared - zoned. It's the turn of the Igbo in the SE to produce a successor to President Buhari.

Why did your PDP and APC delegates sell their birthrights for a bowl of porridge like Esau then?
And why should the national cake continue to be shared if you want the country to develop? Or you are just a tribal hypocrite ni

Buncha thieves

....................is what 200 million Nigerians are
Abi you have seen the audited accounts of your LGA since 1999 ni?

LAXconfidential:
So they've been defaulting since the last 10 years... this country is gone

The country is not gone.
It is we 200 million Nigerians that are not serious with governance and community service, preferring tribesmen loyalty of zoning, turn-by-turn sharing of the national cake instead of working hard to bake it.

NwaNimo1:
No accounts for 10 years?

Very DIS Obidient.......this must change!

Peter Obi is just like the rest of the rogues we allow to ruin our country since 1999.
Not much difference apart from the pretence, like Bubu did with Milo sachets and talk of fighting corruption. Now we know better and won't make the same mistake with fraudulent failure Peter Obi. Got it

PROPHETmichael:
The premier league that you love watching so dearly and if not for financial impediment, you'd love to travel to go and watch your favourite team live...Tell me, did British people "mobilise" you and millions of other Nigerians to watch them?

Oga, it seems PDP VS APC politics has eaten deep into you that you now think football is politics that requires mobilisation. When you improve the management of your league/ the standard of play, fans will automatically troop in to watch you.

Can you please specify who are the YOU to improve our league? Thanks

opalu:
APC from Lagos has convinced him. Now he would be thrown out of office without the normal compensation. Even if court help him out in the next 2 years, by then he would have suffered well. Same thing happened in Kogi state.

Normal compensation meaning bogus pensions that deprives citizens of funds for employing teachers, healthcare workers, sanitation inspectors, street sweepers, providing water in every building, free education for all children?
Or what kind of normal compensation are you talking about please

Moh247:

Inflation affects every prices

Thank God Bola Ahmed Tinubu Jagaban created the only Metro Rapid Bus system in Nigeria, atleast the masses won't feel the effects of the global crude oil increase

Anambra people without any meaningful mass transit system would come and wail now, even when PitObi invested their destiny in SABMiller brewery and heros beer

Suddenly the people of Abia State and Enugu State under Ikpeazu Kerosine and Mrs Ugwuanyi are celebrating PDP Victory in Osun because Osun now has a fat dancing man like their state as manager of resources.

Your sycophancy is puerile.
Why did your Thiefnuibu tin god fail to provide light rail since 1999, even though Jakande's construction was cancelled by his APC Bubu messiah when he was a military dictator in 1984? 23 years of looting smart Lagosians silly with nothing to show for it.

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.”

TTC in talks to sell old trains to Lagos. Are they safe enough?
AUGUST 10, 2011

As Toronto trainspotters gleefully take maiden rides on the TTC's Rocket, commuters in Lagos, Nigeria may be about to get some new trains of their own. Our old ones.

A TTC spokesperson has confirmed that the commission is negotiating with a private group to sell up to 260 used train cars to the West African megacity's new transit project.

"I can confirm that the TTC is in discussion with a third party that wants to purchase trains for Lagos," said commission spokesperson Brad Ross. "Over a period of time, they will be taken out of service and then transported over to Nigeria."

The cars being considered for sale are the TTC's old H-5 and H-6 models, which will be decommissioned as the TTC rolls out its new fleet of Rockets. Ross predicts the earliest they could be shipped to Nigeria is sometime in 2012.

Traffic snarls are already a major economic problem in the Nigerian capital, a booming city that will reach an estimated population of 25 million by 2015. A new above-ground rail system designed to carry 1.5 million people a day has already broken ground, and Lagos Governor Babtunde Fashola has said it "will be the most multi-dimensional and most impactful" of the government's efforts to reduce traffic congestion.

Fashola visited Toronto earlier this year to inspect the TTC trains.

The Lagos deal would be the first of its kind for the TTC. Decommissioned cars are usually sold for scrap metal and can fetch up to $1,500 dollar each. While Ross declined to discuss specific figures, he says the sticker price for Lagos is "significantly more" than scrap prices, putting the potential profits to the TTC in the millions of dollars.

It is not unusual for technology from western nations to end up in poorer countries. Marketplaces in Africa and Asia are flooded with North American clothes, computers, and even cars, but the purchase of larger technology like trains is rarer.

The cars will have to be significantly refurbished to fit existing infrastructure in Lagos, and some Nigerian media reports have lamented that the government appears to have settled on "tokundo," or used, trains instead of brand new vehicles.

Although half the cars are more than 30 years old, Ross is adamant they are perfectly safe and are only being decommissioned for capacity reasons. But he also admitted the TTC is not required to make sure the cars meet any safety standards before selling them.

"Once sold, it's up to the new operator to ensure they are in good working order," he said. "They do need to be maintained much more frequently than the new trains, simply because of their age. At some point they will run out their useful life."

Murtaza Haider, director of the Institute of Housing and Mobility at Ryerson University, said the age of the cars is definitely a cause for concern.

"We should be ensuring that there is some service life left in these vehicles and we're not going to be playing havoc with the lives of those who would ride these vehicles," Haider said. "There's metal fatigue, and that metal fatigue could result in dangerous conditions. I would be paying a close watch on this for the next ten years to see how many accidents do happen in Lagos."

He also warned that while rail systems are glamorous as far as transit infrastructure goes, they are not always as effective at reducing congestion as other options. Nevertheless, new rail systems are frequently preferred because governments can take advantage of kickbacks from large contracts.

According to media reports, the cost estimates for the Lagos rail project have varied wildly from $1.2 billion to $30 billion. In 2010, a Nigerian government watchdog accused Fashola's government of widespread corruption.

"More often than not, politicians favour rail transit because it is more expensive," Haider said. "It's almost useless in some cases, and less productive in most cases, than a bus system. But you can't buy busses for $30 billion. You can inflate prices and make a lot of money buying a rail system."

Yes just as Lagos was a failed state under tifnubu

I actually thought you were going to provide the governance details with the same enthusiasm of the other information. What happened?
Are you now agreeing that Peter Obi is just another scammer like all the other politians we have given the opportunity since 1999 to manage our commonwealth

At least PO is not the one accused of drugs by FBI, he has certificate, we know his age, we know we're he came from and finished school, he does not own most choices houses in anambra, his wife is not a senator and his son is not vying for legislation like in Lagos, his daughter is not the iyaloja of any market making life miserable for people, he is not collecting bogus pension from anambra that he did not work for, he is not wearing pampas.
Please should I go on?

You can go on with things that don't relate with his governance failures in Anambra for eight years.
Or you can provide reliable details of school enrolment numbers, teachers employed, hectoliter of water annually, healthcare workers employed, VAT contribution etc.
Your choice.

That is not what this is about.
This is about people pressuring their lawmakers to lobby other lawmakers to pass laws for privatisation of our NPFL and all the clubs.

This is the problem in Nigeria. Instead of allowing the competent people to rule the affair of our nation. They frustrate them and wait till they lobby before doing the right thing. It's a pity!

Atiku is a 419 quote me anywhere, he won 2019 election and sold his birthrights to buhari APC, he abandoned his liuternants(voters and supporters) went and stay in Dubai for almost one year imidiately after election, why nigerians expect him to put up a judicial fight to reclaim his stollen mandate like aregbeshola and oshomole did in osun and Edo. Atiku later show up to pay buhari son dowry, Little did we know he has sold us out, he's here again to decieve us. ATIKU IS A PLANE 419 more reason Peter obi won't trust him again.

Do Anambrarians trust Peter Obi the 419 failure Pandora man

Between November 2013 that they said Jega was a BAD person and now, has anything changed? <<<

#Anambra poll: Buhari, Tinubu, others protest at INEC headquarters#

Top leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) led by a former Head of State, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari defied police and military barricade to march on the headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in protest against the shoddy conduct of the governorship poll in Anambra State.

They demanded outright cancellation of the election by INEC.

They also called for the resignation of INEC Chairman, Prof. Attahiru Jega and dissolution of the management of the electoral body.

Reminiscence of pro-democracy struggle between 1993 and 1998 during the dark days of military era, the leaders trekked for about five kilometers from APC National Secretariat in Blantyre Street in Wuse II part of Abuja to Zambezi Crescent in Maitama District where INEC is located.

The initial stage of the trek was piloted by Governors Ibikunle Amosun (Ogun State) and Kayode Fayemi (Ekiti State) and many members of the National Assembly.

The great trek was later coordinated by a former National Secretary of the defunct Congress for Progressives Change, Engr. Buba Galadima.

But when the procession took off, Buhari and some top leaders of APC withstood the rigours of standing in an open lorry for the protest march.

Others tucked in the lorry were the National Chairman of APC, Chief Bisi Akande, the National Leader of the party, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu; a former National Chairman of the defunct All Nigeria Peoples Party, Chief Ogbonnaya Onu; a former National Chairman of the defunct All Peoples Party(APP), Alhaji Yusuf Ali; ex-Governor Ahmed Sani Yerima, ex-Governor Segun Osoba; ex-Governor Niyi Adebayo; Senator Nazif Suleiman; the Deputy National Secretary of APC, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai, Senator Abu Ibrahim; and a former member of the House of Representatives, Comrade Dino Melaye.

Others who participated in the hectic protest were Senator Oluremi Tinubu; Senator (Prof.) Sola Adeyeye; Senator Domingo Obende; Senator Anthony Adeniyi; Senator Ahmed Lawan; Senator Gbenga Asafa; House Minority Leader, Hon. Femi Gbajiabiamila and the Chairman of the House Committee on the Diaspora, Hon. Abike Dabiri.

Others were the Deputy Minority Chief Whip in the House, Hon. Garba Datti; Deputy Minority Leader of the House of Representatives, Hon. Suleiman Kawu; Hon. Umar Bago; Hon. Adeola Solomon; Hon. Yakubu Balogun; Hon. Pally Iriase; Hon. Munir Hakeem; Hon. Abayomi Ayeola; Hon. Taiwo Adelekan; Hon. Adeyinka Ajayi; Hon. Gafar Akintayo; Hon. Sunday Adepoju; Hon. Ajibola Famurewa; the APC National Women Leader, Barrister Sharon Ikeazor, APC National Treasurer, and Hajiya Sadiat Umar Farouk,

Waving brooms amidst blare of revolutionary songs, traffic was brought to a standstill for about two hours along the ever busy Ademola Adetokunbo Street in Wuse II.

Many workers in the business district abandoned offices to identify with the protesters.

They wielded leaflets and placards with the following inscriptions: “Anambrarians, Nigerians are with you,” “Anambra Election: Jega, not the INEC Messiah, Resign Now,” “2015, No hope with Jega,” “No Supplementary Election in Anambra,” “Cancel Anambra Governorship Election Now,” “Election Fraud Must Stop Now.”

Insecurity: Recruit 50 million youths into army, Tinubu urges FG

All Progressives Congress chieftain, Bola Tinubu, on Monday, urged the Federal Government to recruit at least 50 million youths into the Nigerian Army to boost Nigeria’s fight against terrorism, banditry and all forms of internal and external security threats confronting the nation.

Tinubu spoke at the 12th colloquium to celebrate his 69th birthday in Kano State.

He said, “We are under-policed and we are competing with armed robbers and bandits to recruit from the youths who are unemployed —33 per cent unemployed?”

“Recruit 50 million youths into the army,” he stated, adding that “what they will eat —cassava, corn, yam, will grow here.”

The APC chieftain, while reacting to recent statistics by the National Bureau of Statistics that over 23 million Nigerians are jobless, also urged the government to create jobs for youths in the agricultural value chains.

He said, “Don’t talk about illiteracy, anybody who can hold a gun, who can handle a gun, who can cock and shoot is technically competent to repair a tractor in the farm.”
