Fanatics. Instead of them to attack the leaders in charge, they are disturbing God Africa will never be good if they don't leave God alone and fight for what is right.

We can’t attack the leaders in charge due to our tribesmen attitude, and the stomach infrastructure we get from the leaders to keep our mouth shut.

SugarGirl44:
They should continue disposing refuse irresponsibly and still expect the drainages to not get blocked.

Nonsense!
They all throw stuff to the streets from their cars and expect them to disappear miraculously, now they're praying.
Black man, black brian.

The LGA officials should recruit enough workers to unblock the gutters and punish those who throw away garbage anyhow. Not so

Totilopussylick:
These people are far from sense

Wait till the holy ghost send down more rain

That time they'll know that this is not something to pray for

But to find a solution to it

They have enough sense to follow Emilokan into Aso Rock next year despite being a thief who stole their money for employing gutter cleaners to make flooding less possible.
What kind of abracadabra sense is that

Taiggarr:
There are few people in government,in NIGERIA'S HISTORY,that have made impact like Fashola..

Fashola as GOVERNOR must not finish EVERY SINGLE project in Lagos..hence there won't be any need for a replacement of Governors every 4 or 8 years..

Peter Obi promised us the Anambra International Airport when he was GOVERNOR...How far

Besides NIGERIA is very far from being a failed state..

Stop mirroring the whole country in the image of your home and where you come from..

Did you read to understand before you replied?
Fashola promised in January that the light rail will be completed in June 2013, two years before he left office. So what is your reply about really

If you have failed state low expectations of your public office holders, please note that I am not having such.

naijawhist:
that picture of the road is fake. There's no portion like that on that express. This is likely propaganda

Everything about APC is just lies and propaganda.
Nothing else.
Why do you think that they had Alhaji Lie Mohammed as their spokesperson and now misinformation minister?

lathrowinger:
All this are still part of Asiwaju Agenda. He wants to make Lagos like heaven

Stop trying so hard to be a joker. Find another day job or side hustle. Thank me later.

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.

Potable water still luxury 23 years after return of democracy

WHILE the Federal Government continues to proliferate the country with dams, it is such an irony that a state like Lagos, with its massive, constant boast of being a megacity, cannot provide its residents, thereby forcing the bulk of them to take solace in the arms of water boreholes.

At regular intervals, the two major waterworks in the state, the Adiyan, and Iju get grounded leading to the non-availability of water. In April and May last year, for instance, they both produce less than 10% of their installed capacity.

As of today, Eti-Osa, Apapa, Victoria Island, Badagry, Ibeju Lekki, Surulere, Ikorodu, Agege, Ojo, Mushin Kosofe, and most locations in the state are without access to clean water. Consequently, millions of residents now rely on boreholes, rivers, rainwater, as well as comprised wells for their water needs.

On its website, the LWC claims that it has a total installed water production capacity of 210 million gallons per day (MGD), which is far lower than the current estimated daily water demand of 540 million gallons per day.

Also, its plan to produce 745 million gallons per day by the year 2020 through the Lagos Water Supply Master Plan fell flat with the actual number of citizens having access to potable water dropping, rather than increasing 11 years after the launch of the master plan.

A senior staff of LWC, who preferred anonymity said that at present, its agency only supplies water to Lekki, parts of Ikoyi, Victoria Island (VI), Ojodu, Iju, and some parts of Ikotun.

Fashola: The only sane man in APC who can match Peter Obi’s bureaucratic and governance analysis.

I’ve not seen or heard him interfering in the current politicking.

Bureaucratic and governance analysis because of paparazzi pictures?
No wonder our country is a failed state with the highest number of children out of school and the extreme poverty capital of the world. Too many educated people who are worse than illiterates supporting looters pretending to be leaders.
Fashola similarly inspected the Lagos light rail in 2013 and promised it would be moving passengers five months later. That was two years before his second term ended.
He must be a thief like Obi Pandora.

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 lrail 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.

Myles22:
I have been in this situation before ... I bought a new SIM, used a random phone and sent the pictures to him on WhatsApp... Told him what's been happening, Broke the SIM and kept on minding my business..

And then how did he react? What happened after?

9japride:
The blame on is on all leaders of the country. If things were working properly in the country, the youths will have a positive mindset to life. A situation were most of their parents are struggling financially and are mostly disrespected in their homes because they can't provide fully for their families. Until Nigerians vote in sane humans and not thugs and those who have attributes of a cartel, nothing will change.

If we the people vote and/or otherwise allow thugs to be our leaders, then why is our collective rottenness the fault of the leaders only? I don’t understand please.

Maverick777:
God grant us all wisdom!

If God made us all in His own image, according to the two imported Abrahamic creation stories, but we are physically different, does it not mean we all have the same wisdom as Him who created us all, irrespective of race?
Is the equality of wisdom not demonstrated in academic pursuits of blacks in Europe, Americas, Asia and the Middle East?
So God has granted us all the wisdom we need. It is up to us how we use it & what we use it for.

Zorn:
The same Ekiti that collapsed the party structure into APC?

So how is saint Obi going to have the 50% plus 1 vote total to be president along with 25% votes in 24 states?
Was that not how AD lost in 2003 when they collapsed their south west structure for Obasanjo's PDP

ufotunang:
...then nigerians will keep on suffering since they do not want to vote in a competent person to be their presidentr and make the economy and country to be good and better

Is that how you are suffering in your LGA and state because Obi is not your LGA Chairman nor is he your governor

Echile:
It’s better I get deceived with laptops and educational material than to get deceived with vegetable oil,ordinary Ororo...Peter Obi is the goal

Obi has played himself out of the pitch by going AWOL in Ekiti instead of doing stomach infrastructure as usual.

Why do you think I care about Thiefnuibu

Someone raised this issue, but some idiot on this forum said it was not sustainable, imagine!, for a raw material that is your backyard.
The only reason why does refineries can never work is because some crooks somewhere up north will lose money.

Even though Bubu of integrity has been petroleum minister since 2015 when we got rid of Diezani

At the end of the day, their ultimate goal is to reduce all of us to beggars.

What should be our own ultimate goal? Work hard to ensure their own ultimate goal is not attained

Eriokanmi:
Atiku isn't doing anyone a favour by admitting those students. He made all his money from the government, by hook and crook. The sale of federal government properties in the name of privatisation easily comes to mind. Go and ask Obj why he chased him out of the vila as VP disgracefully. Its shameful to even note that the supposed presidential aspirant spent thousands of dollars in buying people's conscience to get a ticket. I wonder what he would do if he ever gets there. Not even father Christmas would dole out such huge sum without first thinking of how he wouid recoup the money in triple folds after winning. We are wiser now. Obi was a multi billionaire and a successful banker before becoming governor.
Never again!

Promote your thief thief Obi Pandora with facts, and not with useless lies.
Got it
By the way was Saint Obi ignorant of all these when he accepted to be Atiku's running mate three years ago?

Indorama Eleme Petrochemical Limited (IEPL), located in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria, a Group Company of Indorama Corporation, is a Poly-Olefins producer of a range of Polyethylene and Polypropylene products. IEPL was a 100% subsidiary of Nigerian Government owned Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) with the name Eleme Petrochemicals Company Limited (EPCL). When the erstwhile EPCL was privatized, under the Privatization Program, the Indorama Corporation emerged as the core investor and acquired the Unit in August 2006. Since then, IEPL has recorded several achievements of smooth & stable operations, enhanced production capacities, winning of several global awards & certifications and has become a successful model of the Nigeria's Privatization Program.

Too much propaganda and fakeness about him, just like Bubu and his fake integrity of change that destroyed the little prosperity under Jonathan and PDP.

The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has condoled with the Nigerian Army over attacks by Boko Haram on Sunday that led to loss of officers and men of the 157 Task Force Battalion in Maitile, Borno State.

He also declared an endowment to provide full financial scholarships to five children of the slain soldiers of the battalion up to whatever level they are able and willing to reach at the American University of Nigeria, Yola.

So why is Thiefnuibu expecting a reward for making Bubu president?
Abi what is the meaning of Emilokan (it's my turn) that Ogbeni Ojuyobo is wailing upandan

Guy, all these propaganda no dey move market again, go tell that to the mountain ok?. A ti gbon ! It's Obi or nothing.

Please where is the propaganda about the news shared?

McGg:
I don't have your time just be OBIDIENT

Just as the fake fraudster, Obi does not have the time of Ekiti people but ran to Egypt to avoid another embarrassing failure like what would have happened to him in the PDP primaries if he did not step down for Atiku.

michlins:
It's sad that someone will read this and still decide to vote in the wrong person and people.

It's time to vote competence.

Vote Obi

So that he can miserly share stomach infrastructure instead of facilitating mega factories for private sector to flourish?
Or what else is he doing in Labour Party

McGg:
Being just OBIDIENT can solve all most all of Nigerian problems

Be OBIDIENT because we're OBIDIENT too

Obediently fraudulent for the next scam

Sirheny007:
The power sector is just moribund with the epileptic national grid collapsing every second. You can then imagine what small businesses go through.
APC must go.

Have those who believed APC fake change promises repented, apologised and done restitution for all this suffering and poverty?

pendy79:
Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, on Sunday evening boasted that he could provide uninterrupted power supply to Lagos residents between six and eight months.

Fashola spoke at the commissioning of 8.5 megawatts Lekki Independent Power Project (IPP), the fifth of such power projects in the last five years in the state.

The governor said the addition of the Lekki IPP was a testament to the fact that stable power does not require rocket science to achieve in the country.

While challenging power distribution companies in the state, Fashola said, “Let the Eko DISCOs sign a contract with me, giving part of their concessioning to the state government, in about six to eight months, there will be power in all homes in Lagos State,” Fashola said.

He added, “So, let no one say that he has no money to deliver power for the entire country. This is the limit to which the law allows us to do, but we have done this to make a statement that power can be generated. So, when they come with lies that power is impossible, you can tell them that we have power here; we make it possible”.

The project, courtesy of the state government, in partnership with Heritage Bank, is to serve Lagos State Water Corporations in Lekki Phase 1, Oniru, Victoria Island and Ikoyi, as well as over 25km of public lightening in the Lekki axis.

Commissioning the project, Fashola said he felt fulfilled with the conduct of youths that delivered the project, despite the difficulties in getting to the finishing point.

He said it also showed that the money to improve the Nigerian economy is here, “since we don’t need the World Bank to come and do this for us.”

Also, General Manager, Lagos State Electricity Board, Damilola Ogunbiyi, said the state had shown that reliable and sustainable power projects are possible through the youths.

Ogunbiyi said though it had been a successful story, the state was just scratching the surface in its “aggressive development plan” in the area of power.

Promoter of the project, Faruk Agoro noted that the new IPP was an innovative idea of world-class natural gas-fired power generating facility, sold to the government by youths and it was bought into, to support government institutions, especially in the area of water supply and security.

The Lekki IPP is 8.5 megawatts, with the capacity for 30 megawatts.

This brings the Lagos IPPS to a total of 47 megawatts of electricity in total, powering several public institutions around the state.

The generated megawatts is however still a far cry from the over 10, 000 megawatts power deficit in the state.

On his part, the State Commissioner in the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, Taofeek Tijani, said the new addition was about continuity in public infrastructure programme of the state government

That is the way to go! Anything to win the north is a welcome development! Pdp go for their best bet and heads don’t roll! So why are the minority who have little or no stake in APC crying fowl? The goal is to win the north and the liberal south west! Tinubu-Shettima or Zulum!!

Liberal south west that Thiefnuibu turned into a ghetto without water in buildings, and without free education for children despite huge revenue since 1999?
