Segun2222: was Nigeria the best country in the world before you started insulting lagos... i thought they said your tribe were smart
So how do you know my tribe? Are you a witch or a wizard ni Why is it that in your small, myopic worldview, anyone who points out the looting and reckless stealing of Lagosian's commonwealth by ThiefNuibu, Fash-Ole, Amb-Ole, Sanwo-Ole is not Yoruba? Why I pity your narrowmindedness. May God heal you of it quickly before it infects other people.
Next time, simply show that ThiefNuibu is not a thief. That should be simple enough abi.
sogodihno: So, with the so called debt, how come lagos is still the best state in Nigeria, how come they don't succeed in your family until they go to Lagos?
You all will have sense in 2023.
Nigeria is what in the world, for us to place Lagos best status in the shithole

Sahara Reporters has obtained original copies of a judgement in the case of United States v Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the former governor of Lagos State, in which Bola Tinubu was charged (along with other defendants) in a case of massive drug trafficking and money laundering. This judgement directly relates to (and further documents) the September 16, 2008 "How U.S Federal Agents succesfully Linked Bola Tinubu to drug Trafficking Ring in Chicago" report by Sahara Reporters
Snippets of the case and subsequent judgement are presented below. The complete document (VERY LARGE pdf file - 4mb) can be downloaded at the end of this report.
The United States of America, by its attorney, Michael J. Shepard, United States Attorney for Northern District of Illinois, for its verified complaint of forfeiture, states as follows:
1. This is a FORFEITURE action under 21 U.S.C , ss88 and 18, ss 981, 2. The DEFENDANT funds are located in the above-described accounts and were SEIZED pursuant to PROCESS ISSUED BY THIS COURT, , 4, beginning as early as 1998, Adegboyega Mueez Akande, WITH OTHERS OPERATED a organiszation (sic) which DISTRIBUTED WHITE HEROIN, a controlled substance under Title 21 of the United States Code. 5, this DISTRIBUTION OPERATION was conducted on a LARGE SCALE and the PROCEEDS of the operation SUBSTANTIAL. The defendant funds represent proceeds of this OPERATION of property involved in MONEY LAUNDERING. 6, the defendant funds represent proceeds of NARCOTICS TRAFFICKING , and , MONEY LAUNDERING, the funds are therefore FOREFEITABLE to the United States,
JUDGEMENT: j, Neither a claim nor answer has been filed on behalf of the defendant funds , accordingly, it hereby ORDERED that the funds in the AMOUNT of $460,000 in account, in the name of BOLA TINUBU represents proceeds of NARCOTICS or were involved in financial transactions in violation of 18 U.S.C ss 1956 and 1957 and therefore these funds are forfeit to the United States,
Beaf: [size=14pt]U.S AGENTS EXPOSE BOLA TINUBU'S DRUG TRAFFICKING DEALS [/size]
Facts have emerged that the erstwhile Governor of Lagos state, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu may have been involved in a white heroin trafficking network which operated in Chicago and some parts of Indiana and led by one Adegboyega Mueez Akande between 1988 and 1993. The source of the white heroine was identified as one Mr. Lee Andrew Edwards who was incarcerated for attempting to murder a federal agent while the agent was executing a search warrant on him.
According to the Verified Complaint for forfeiture in case No. 93 C 4483 Obtained by SaharaReporters, which was filed on July 26, 1993 before the Hon. Judge Nordberg of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, the United States Government urged the Court to order the forfeiture of funds in accounts Nos. 263226700 held by First Heritage Bank in the name of Bola Tinubu, funds in accounts 39483134, 39483396, 4650279566, 00400220, 39936404 and 39936383 held by Citibank N.A in the name of Bola Tinubu and funds in accounts 52050-89451952,52050-89451952, 52050-89451953 held by Citibank in the name of Bola Tinubu because there was probable cause to believe that the funds in Tinubu's bank accounts represented proceeds of narcotics trafficking or were monies involved in financial transactions in violations of 18 U.S.C, sections 1956 and 1957 and therefore, was forfeitable to the U.S Government.
ChildOfDoom: Aside my intellectual ability, nothing else to benefit from me in matrimony. I just hope no one is deceived by my innocent looks or gentlemanliness. Lot's of skeletons in my cupboard.
- no sexual satisfaction for her as I have a weak erection due to years of self-service
- no ability to hold a home together as I am wayward, a chronic punter and profligate spender. How possible will it be to save and take care of my family. I can barely feed myself well.
- I have got anger and communication issues. Hard relating well with the opposite sex
- I have got health issues based on an obnoxious lifestyle devoid of proper healthy living. I doubt if I will make a good husband or father having failed on my own.
Working on all these vices; but I guess there is little or no chance of a 30-year-old changing again
ogmask: Tinubu no doubt has proven to be a good leader over time but he is not the best Nigeria needs right now. As for the clout to clinch it, yes, he has the clout and popularity to fly the APC flag and even win the election.
So that he can drag us into more poverty and debts as he has done in Lagos for over two decades
ShaqFu: I wonder why all this hostility. To me it's needless. After the primaries is done and dust, when we know for sure who and who will be the flag bearers of APC and PDP, then the hostility can begin. Frankly, I look forward to it.
You don't think that hostilities etc can help in the delegates making their choice at the primaries? Why don't you want to contribute to the political process more than what you have done/are doing currently
badoh: I hope you have PVC to stop Tinubu, if not you're only wailing. If you're also interested, come out and declare intention instead of attacking a candidate cos of hatred that won't add value to your life.
Are APC delegates not going to choose him first before it gets to the turn of PVC, which the dimwitted looter said needs to be renewed
SATANICALLY: Presidential aspirant Bola Tinubu has remained adamant with his claim that the Permanent Voters Card issued by the Independent National Electoral Commission can expire.
Mr Tinubu, while addressing supporters in Onikan Lagos on Saturday, reasserted his position, urging his supporters to revalidate their PVCs.
“If you have no PVC, if you have no revalidation of that PVC, you don’t know whether it has expired.
“Don’t forget that there is an expiry date on even your cash. So go and revalidate your card,” Mr Tinubu said.
Mr Tinubu first made this claim January 18, while addressing a group of women leaders who paid him a visit in Abuja.
“In case they do not announce to you on time, the PVC you have has expired.
“Take one family member, two family members, knock on all doors and make sure that the new registration… Because they may not announce to you on time. The PVCs you have expired. Yes!” Mr Tinubu had said.
At the time, INEC swiftly debunked Mr Tinubu’s claims and asked Nigerians to disregard the misinformation.
The electoral body said the voter’s card is permanent and can be used for future elections without needing revalidation.
“This information is not correct. The PVC issued to all previously registered voters remains valid.
Rubbiish: This man is desperate! Desperate people usually have nothing to offer!
He has a lot of looting for himself to offer as well as dumb governance policies like the one below. Is it any wonder that Lagos is bankrupt despite decades of growing IGR with nothing tangible to show except pictures for propaganda, like the one for light rail with Fashola in 2013, and Sanwo-Olu in 2022?
lalasticlala: 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 rooster and shoot is technically competent to repair a tractor in the farm.”
Why did he not show same humility for the Ooni? Is it the slave mentality to Aisha's ethnic group that has been in charge of this Fulani republic of Naijeriya, FRN since Awolowo and Azikiwe failed to go separately in 1960 as the Indians, paksistanis and Bangladeshis did at their own independence from Britain in 1947?
Ctorch: vVdeo evidence of how Tinubu disrespected Ooni of Ile Ife at an event in Lagos by remaining on his seat. Everyone stood up to great the Ooni, except Tinubu.
foryourmindlol: Tinubu joined the back of the queue but other people gave way for him and urged him to go to the front. Very surprising humility.
Bola Tinubu seems to be quite as humble as Peter Obi.
He seems to be a good man. Is this enough to vote him as president? Or he acting a skit like many politicians do when it's election season?
Why has that humility not translated into using the trillions revenue since 2019 to provide free education for every child as Awolowo & Jakande did for Lagosisans in the 1950s and 1980s even with cocoa revenue mostly and oil prices much lower than $100 of recent years? Humilty to cover massive looting? Why should that be of interest to us
Eriokanmi: You made sense , as in alot of sense . This project was actually Pa Jakande project in the 80s. Tinubu used it as part of his campaign strategies that he'd complete it in his tenure amd build a power plant called Enron power plant to power it amd also power lagos. This man spent billions on the power plant without yielding any results . He now later blamed it on the federal government frustrations. If not for corruption, this project would have been completed lile 20 years back. 4th mainland bridge would have since been completed. They use it to campaign every 4 years. They'd do small and leave the rest. I can't wait for a regime change in lagos. If not for ambode who opened our eyes, we never knew Lagos was so rich.
Tinubuadvocate: The joke is on you. Asiwaju the incoming president will brings new ideas to Nigeria just like he did in Lagos his legacy still on and that is what his successors build on .
New ideas like expired Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs) and recruiting 50 million soldiers to eat cassava as solution to unemployment and insecurity? While ThiefNuibu is a smart politician who plays on the selfishness and greed of his godsons like Femi Pedro to stay relevant with enforcers like MC Oluomo to keep the votes flowing, the jagbajantis is really a dumb administrator. Very dumb!
funmi37: All na bobo come and see after election, that's the way they keep deceiving lagosians with promises just some months before elections. Funny enough lagosians always fall for the scam.
Maybe that is why the so-called progressives in charge of Lagos since 1999 have refused to provide free education for every child- to make it easy for them to fall for the scam governance and massive looting
West1side: But can you tell us those that have provided the same so we can vote them into aso rock.
If you want God to destroy your entire household you can list the Pandora kleptomaniac criminal Peter Obi who can even pay workers for close to 13 months.
How about who you voted as LGA Councillor and chairman? What have they done for the millions monthly allocation and IGR collected from you and on your behalf? Should that not matter to you also
leavegoodbehind: STATUTORY FUNCTIONS OF LOCAL GOVERNMENTS The Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 provides in the Fourth Schedule the main functions of Local Governments in Nigeria as follows: –
(a)the consideration and the making of recommendations to a State Commission on Economic Planning or any similar body on: (i) the economic development of the State, particularly in so far as the areas of authority of the Council and of the State are affected, and (ii) proposals made by the said Commission or body; (b) collection of rates, radio and television licences; (c) establishment and maintenance of cemeteries, burial grounds and homes for the destitute or infirm; (d) licensing of bicycles, trucks (other than mechanically-propelled trucks), canoes, wheel barrows and carts; (e) establishment, maintenance and regulation of slaughter houses, slaughter slabs, markets, motor parks and public conveniences; (f) construction and maintenance of roads, streets, street lightings, drains and other public highways, parks, gardens, open spaces, or such public facilities as maybe prescribed from time to time by the House of Assembly of a State; (g) naming of roads and streets, and numbering of houses; (h) provision and maintenance of public conveniences, sewage and refuse disposal; (i) registration of all births, deaths and marriages; (i) out-door advertising and hoarding; (ii) movement and keeping of pets of all descriptions; (iii) shops and kiosks; (iv) restaurants, bakeries and other places for sale of food to the public, (v) laundries, and (vi) licensing, regulation and control of the sale of liquor.
Apart from these exclusive functions, the function of Local Governments shall include participation of such Councils in the government of a state as respects the following matters:
(a) the provision and maintenance of primary, adult and vocational education; (b) the development of agriculture and natural resources other than the exploitation of minerals; (c) the provision and maintenance of health services; and (d) such other functions as may be conferred on a local Government Council by the House of Assembly of the State.
As provided for in the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Local Governments have functions and responsibilities assigned. Some of these functions are performed exclusively by the Local Government like the maintenance of cemeteries, markets and motor parks. On the other hand, some other functions and responsibilities are performed concurrently with the State Government. Among these concurrent functions are primary education, agriculture, health and any other functions that may be conferred on Local Government by the House of Assembly of the State. As can be seen, these various functions and responsibilities of Local Governments are quite enormous and demanding. The tragedy of the situation is that Local Governments have very limited and circumscribed sources of revenue to enable them execute meaningfully and effectively the functions and responsibilities assigned to them.
In my local government at Ajeromi Ifelodun in Ajegunle, we have not felt the presence of local government at all, take for instance, the road from otto – wharf to Achakpo have never been maintained for as provided in the constitution, the question begging for an answer, is what do the Ajeromi Local Government do with money that go to them? HOW IS YOUR LOCAL GOVERNMENT?, express your mind if indeed they are working now that you know their functions.
naptu2: Aha! Shifting the goal post. It's no longer about June again?
Your question doesn't even make sense. Why shouldn't people be happy that infrastructure that will make their lives better is being constructed? Are you a sadist, or has APC vs PDP deprived you of the ability to see things objectively?
You can't even counter my argument, so you choose to make this shameful post. This shows that there is no longer any need for me to continue engaging you because you will not post anything meaningful or worth debating.
You can mourn when necessary infrastructure is being constructed. That is your right. I choose to be happy, no matter who is constructing it, where he is from, what religion he belongs to or what political party he belongs to.
Good day. I won't read your posts any more.
Hello sir, I am not shifting the goal post o. I am only saying that you did not bring up the issue of funding constraint almost 10 years ago when you opened a thread on Fashola inspecting the rail project, just like what Sanwo-Olu is doing here. Thank you for your understanding, Oga.
ba7man: 20k?? Even my workers don't earn that low.
You must think everyone here is on your 20k level.
Is that why you don't see anything wrong in ThiefNuibu and his governors failing to provide free education for every child since 1999 that they have been raking trillions from the people? To make the people almajiris grateful for employers who pay them lower than the N30k minimum wage? Is that it
Asgard73: One thing about Lagos Yoruba government is their propaganda and deceit
Especially during elections
They will always come up with one project every election to deceive the gullibles and you see their paid urchins go Gaga .. then immediately after election .. both the noise about the project and the project disappears
Fashola .. lekki free trade zone and lekki airport , mono rail and all bla’s
Today all Na wash..
Ambode .. BRT, Epe, fourth mainland bridge , bla’s Today all Na wash..
Sanwo-Olu.. fourth mainland .. electric rail.. By 2024 Nobody will remember all this media hype till another election .. who knows what next.
Anyways is none of my business
Just how this humans scam themselves .. remember back in days .. Eko peninsula abi whatever
Fashola will grow old and die. Still that project will Remain a project ..
But Dangote .. refinary a private one .. is kicking up within 7 years in that same Lagos
Say Na Lagos state get that project .. Na for stories and media propaganda..
Lagos state government Na very large scam.
Tinubu is a bloody criminal.
Scam fueled by photo-op propaganda from people who should know better.
Malory: As Lagosians we could have achieved more only if Tinubu is not breathing down on our neck demanding for billions of naira every day
Is that why ThiefNuibu and all the governors are unable to provide freee education for every child in primary & secondary schools with water in every building? So what did they do with all the trillions IGR, oil revenue shared etc that should have turned Lagos into Dubai all these 23 years
ba7man: You that's "smart", if they ask you what your preferred politician is now, you'll start mentioning Awolowo, Jakande and that weird, unknown politician you tried to campaign for (Probably after collecting N 20k).
You liver even fail you lass lass.
Are you campaigning for ThiefNuibu because of the N20k you collected? Or what is the analogy about
naptu2: If the loan was for both the road and the rail and the project was being delayed because the loan was not approved, isn't it common sense that both projects were affected?
2) What he said would be ready was the first phase, that is Mile 2 to Orile and that was finished exactly when he said it would be ready.
3) The rail runs through the median of that road, how would the rail be complete if the road is not complete?
Excuse me sir, I did not see you ask anyone on the thread of your OP below about common sense when they were jubilating in anticipation of riding the light rail five months after Fashola's promised delivery. Why was that so Oga?
naptu2: 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. 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.”
thelastPope: This is the reason why people will continue to call all you ACN sychophants out. The level of propaganda you do is just shameful. While the rail project is a good project, the fact that you bring out one new thread every time half a meter of track is laid is just hillarious. The Abuja city light rail project has passed 50% completion with no noise or fanfare. If the abuja guys were doing the same propaganda as you ACN guys, NL will be filled with such stories by now. Orile-mile 2 is just 4 minutes drive by road. How is that a great achievement by train? Let the project continue and when it is done and Lagosians can enjoy it, then you can come here and spam us with your posts. For now, keep the spam down and stop announcing to us every track that is being laid. Remember this is the standard you all always demand from the FG. If the FG where announcing every single step they take on NL, the NL servers would have crashed several times over. I will personally laud him if he can conclude a significant part of the rail line. For now, its all politics and noise making.
ba7man: Provide us with pictures of the Abuja light rail and we'll appreciate it if its good. At least the internet will help us follow the progress in this country. And also, the total project length is 54km.....I'm sure you've never witnessed a rail project of this scale in your lifetime.....except u're 80 years old or somthing. You're just mad at this news and u need to give us a reason why.....Yeah, and if the FG reveal every step they take on NL, it will probably expose the monumental corruption on-goin in this country and it might start a revolution in which you and your paymasters are wiped out.
The Abuja light rail is done, dusted and moving people, in addition to the Abuja-Kaduna railways. What else do ThiefNuibu's followers have to say, almost 10 years later exxcept to do another round of propaganda over Sanwo-Olu's inspection pictures?
travelwaka: Lagos just keep proving it is the economic capital. Imagine if other states can also buckle their belts and there was no corruption in Nigeria. Imagine what we will do collectively.
You should travel around Lagos and note the private sector's contribution to the showcase places while the inner city rots away without schools, no water, no feeder roads, primary healthcare etc, as the governors steal like crazy.
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.
Last year, Nigeria overtook India as the country with the largest number of people living in extreme poverty, thereby becoming the world capital of poverty, according to the Brookings Institute. This year, the number has risen to 91.6 million from 87 million in June 2018. Every minute, six Nigerians enter the group of extremely poor people, according to the World Poverty Clock.
Fcwilly: That remaining 10% can take more than 10 year to complete, I fear who no fear Nigerian politicians.
Is it the politicians alone, or we should add the sufferhead followers who defend them anyhow plus the ordinary folks who can't be bothered as long as they are temporarily comfortable in their ever-shrinking zone
bigsmoke2: For a state as rich as Lagos its embarrassing that this project has taken this long considering how important it is in easing traffic gridlock which has become the logo of Lagos almost 2 decades now and it is still under construction. it should have been given priority and long completed. Judging by the pace of work on this project 4th mainland bridge will take 30 yrs if it ever kicks off.
For the crumb-eaters of ThiefNuibu's bullion vans loot, such logic eludes them.
LeoDeKing: Watch how this report go pain one particular set of people.
It should pain reasonable Lagosians who cough up the trillions IGR since 1999 with nothing from ThiefNuibu's gang to show for it. Are you one of them

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.
Abdul05: It is logical to say that South westerners always go after development ..... Not hate, killing or destruction of facilities. .
Go ahead olu. .. paint the whole state blue... . ...
The way that Fashola painted the state blue with massive looting instead of delivering the light rail as he promised? Same a-looter story with ThiefNuibu who talked about the light rail in his 2000 video? How will the city/state develop if we have such terribly low expectation of the thieves we allow into public office?
