Nonsense, you see the official record from the same Anambra state government itself, you are here saying anybody in Anambra nonsense.

Obi Pandora is all hype, he could barely increase Anambra small revenue by 100% in 8 years.

Tinubu on the other hand gave over 600% increase in IGR in comparison and a very robust budget.

So what did ThiefNuibu do with the 600% increase of IGR apart from stealing it?
Did he increase the number of government workers by 600%? What of children in government schools and water in every building? Increased by 600%?

What is the joke about please
I thought that Lagosians are smart but now I know differently.

GenBuhari:
It is similar, Boko Haram has no intention of actualising their on state, just like IPOB it about bloodbath and terrorism only difference is that whilst Boko haram receives all its funding and support from politicians and foreign NGO following orders of colonial globalists, IpoB has an additional source of funding from gullible brainwashed supporters mainly in diaspora.

I honestly believe that a lot of terrorists in Nigeria can be IPOB on Monday and Herdsmen on Thursday and by Saturday be killing for Boko Haram.
In other words hired mindless killers.

Do you mean that General Buhari is clueless about the situation or what happened to the strongman who replaced weak Jonathan

Arewa1stSon:
Dangote begins the production of cars in the newly built Dangote Peugeot Automobiles Nigeria Limited (DPAN) factory in Kaduna. They began with the roll out of Peugeot 301, with Peugeot 5008, 3008, 508 and Land Trek to follow in its tow.

Please what happened to the assembly plant that produced the Peugeot 301 launched in 2014 by VP Sambo?
If Buhari had continued with that, as he did for the Lagos-Ibadan and Kaduna/Abuja railways, would we have had multiple recessions and over 50% unemployment/underemployment

adelaja70:
Alimosho is OK my brother... Good roads dey.. Light no bad at all..Govt schools yapa and na free. Na my hood Bro.

Is the percentage of children in government schools up to 50%, compared with those in private schools

abbey621:
It means foolish or silly behavior. In politics we just call it status quo.

Is that the disease that infected those Americans to vote Trump

adelaja70:
PDP Na clueless party so I'm not surprised.... Alimosho alone will deal with PDP Lagos and Biafra.

How many good feeder roads are in Alimosho? What of tap water? And government schools for every child?

Are the people of Alimosho clueless if they don’t have these things for the past 23 years and still supporting the rogues

abbey621:
Do you not understand how politics work or you're just being troublesome? If political candidates are chosen based on qualifications alone then we would only have Ph.D holders a s presidents, governors etc., Lagosians vote based on party just like majority of the country, until that changes, the APC primary winner will continue to be the chosen one. Tell me where you're from and I'll expose the same political tomfoolery

Is tomfoolery a synonym for being dumb

abbey621:
PDP no get candidate for Lagos so the natural thing na to play spoiler. Even Sanwo knows that it was a one term deal with Hamzat slated to take over after him, Hamzat in his natural right is more qualified than Sanwo so that's a no brainer but who knows what Jagaban is planning, he might choose a Nairalander out of nowhere, the man na magician

So ThiefNuibu gave Lagosians a less qualified of two candidates, yet they are hailing him as a magician?
Are you saying that 20 million Lagosians are dumb
I can’t believe it.

WATCHOVER:
Hmmm if this is true Obi has automatically disqualified himself
President is not like state governor.
A President must not have been indicated with Bigotry or Nepotism.

A case study is our current President who was always accused of bigotry even before becoming President.
Once you have that mentality it will be very difficult for it to be erased.
That my own opinion

Did Lie Mohammed share the video where Obi said it
Get the answer to that question before you get swept up by APC propaganda and lies that brought us the disaster called Buhari.

NGpatriot:
Bigotry is deeply rooted in this man's vain, even hatred, bitterness, and tribalism..

Just too sad..

Is it not too sad that you are relying on what Lie Mohammed said to write your above comment

GenBuhari:
Not an impossible mission, it was never a mission because IPOB does not have any intention of actualising Biafra, they just using their fraudulent agitation to justify mindless terrorism and make money from their gullible supporters

Is it the same thing that Buhari’s Boko Haram terrorists are doing?
Is that the same thing that Bala Mohammed and El Rufai’s illegal migrant Fulani herdsmen terrorists are doing?
Or they are doing something different

hatchy:
Davido have set up a pace that you all now follow.....a very bad precedence.

It baffles me how the Black African sees wealth. Many rich men and women from the business circle up to the entertainment industry don't have a charity organisation they run or support instead it is how to collect from the society they all know.
What have you given back to this same society that made you who you are. How much have you donated to charity organisations,NGOs etc. We have many Billionaires and countless millionaires yet a whole lot do nothing to help the needy. We are very selfish and greedy such that the rich even collect what is meant for the poor and add to his own. We need to change our orientation and mindset and start to care about each other. This is where the white man is different from us. He can will his entire wealth to charity. He donates certain portion of his wealth back to the society but ours is the reverse.
Tiwa, you have made money, God have blessed you, the society helped you so give back and stop looking for ways to accumulating what you don't need.

We move.

And why the whites dominate us while we shout racism.
Well said boss. Thanks

jrusky:
So Davido did it and got away with it now its everyone of you template *indiect media begar*stunt baa? Or is these a new ritual stunt or what Because after Davido did it we know what followed it.

Na so Tinubu and Osinbajo do template for bogus pensions, which other rogue governors used sharperly sharperly.
If you have 200 million mumus as your employers, why won’t you do likewise

I just commot from dat side, Ajah to Chevron na hours. Until we think sensibly, more roads needed for Lekki ends. No be only to build without planning and do more harm.

More roads are not needed.
Less cars/vehicles are needed to use the existing roads, with the people agreeing through their constituted authorities to tax themselves in different ways to use comfortable mass transit systems.
As oyinbos are getting wiser to be eco friendly and use bicycles plus mass transit options, we poverty riddled blacks have to be conscious of the subtle ways of dumping their used vehicles here.

bigpicture001:
...My friend whose dad passed on two months ago and who was so sure he will henceforth become a big boy got the shock of his life when his dad's will was read to them by his father's lawyer...

In the will his dad gave him Nothing which was unusual especially being the eldest son and coming from the Igbo tribe.. his father owns two filling station, a big and very busy half-warehouse store where he sells dangote cement wholesale, three commercial houses , a sign supermarket,3 pieces of land also one SUV and two small cars.

We suspect, it may be connected to his visibly wayward lifestyle, he has twice been sent packing from two different private University in the south east over tuancy and suspected cultism....more shocking is the late father handing over the day to day running of the firm to his oldest daughter "not his wife"

The said girl is just 24 years old but graduated as second best in the dept of economic then..his father even helped her secure a lecturing job 5months before his demise..he stated that his wife will only be an important signitory for transaction worth a million and above.

He added a clause that his son can join the management of the firms and estate only when he graduates from any University with at least a pass and record less than 7police cases before he turns 28..

Even at that he can eventually take over the firm after joining management for minimum 4years...

Abeg oo. is this. Dead man not wicked... Allowing a girl lead the house when her mum is still alive.. although she is older than the guy.. sh is the first child

That must be a typo from you.
You meant to say wise instead of wicked that you typed.

OUK is coming to fix Nigeria enough is enough vote OUK the manager ORJI UZOR KALU

TEAM OUK

You mean that OUK fixed a light rail in Abia, or how is your comment relevant to this thread

flowsamuels:
Instead of this man to digitize this train sector by making people buy monthly cards , for seamless and accountability.

How many of the cities/countries where they have digitized train sector (that is yet to even start working in Lagos since 1999 that Thiefnuibu has been in charge), do they have less than 10% children in government schools and the private schools are unsupervised like in terrible Lagos
How many of those cities are so poor in educating all their children?

Michelle70:
Umahi, Ganduje, Obiano, Sanwo-olu, Osinbajo, Zulum

The only few politicians that still have some humanity left in them

Because Sanwo-Olu said something about the future that has not happened yet, and which has been said in times past without happening also?
Why are we so cheap & easy to manipulate
No be juju be dat?

YoungLionken:
Sanwo-Olu is the only southern governor working, others are fracking miserable!!!

Working by speaking in Future Impossible Tense (FIT) or the trains are working already ni?
Why are we so gullible, despite our education
Why are we like that?

AmazingELixir:


Who is diswan deceiving.....one need not look any further, use the blue BRT operated by Lagos state government as a test case.

We can look to Toronto also, which is just a few years further away from today

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."

Obviously, the forthcoming election will be between Fayose and Fayemi, the battle of godfatherism; none of these folks has a vision for a better and working Ekiti state. One built a useless flyover that leads to nowhere, the other just dey claim NADECO local champ. No good roads, no security... What a shame!

So what happened to all the educated eggheads in Ekiti?
Are they all ignorant nincompoops

Invictuse:
This comment is so hilarious.

Lagos rail is finally coming to alive after 40 years since Jakande proposed it even with endemic looting by Tinubu

Sadly with saints governing Alaigbo Igborail will never come alive till Jesus come n go then come back again. That is to say Igbo rail will not happen in 400, 000, 000 000 years.

I weep for you father you n your unborn generation. Just imagine an Igbo antagonize Bola Tinubu developing Lagos while Ikpeazu is gifting Igbos mothers N500 for birthing similar clowns like the quoted one to come on NL to rant whole their Igbo fathers have been strictly warned never to query why Abia can not complete a single flyover bridge in over 20 years of democracy. I weep for your soul

Why are you so fixated about Igbo as a deflection for Thiefnuibu's deprivation of basic government services, utilities, facilities etc to Lagosians?
Are you a broom-carrying wizard to know that I am Igbo and not a Lagosian?
Please find something better to do instead of cursing your entire generation even plus the unborn ones.

You can check the above OP to stop wailing like an ignorant Thiefnuibu agbero follower.
Thank me later.

Damidave1124:
Good. Those plying that route should take note. Kudos to Lagos State government

Almost 40 years after jakande's metro construction started at the same Yaba/Jibowu junction.
Kudos for Thiefnuibu stealing like a loony for 23 years without a light rail? Is that how to make a 3rd world city into 1st world? Na which kain kudos be that?
No be juju be dat

Right001:
I usually frown at jokes or skit of comedians that do videos of soldiers been painted as a god and there by molesting civilians and people just laugh and say it just a joke. My brother and sister it may sound as a joke but it goes a long way because most military men watch this videos and feel like if I oppress the civilian then nobody can help then and also the civilian watching it will also think there are helpless before a military unknowning to him because that video just send an involuntary message to his subconscious. It is high time our comedian start doing jokes of military men been arrest by military police for abusing human right or military people been taken to court for molesting civilians. It is not about carrying of banner and start protesting about human rights but comedian videos can go a long way by enlighten the people without hurting or destroying the peace of the country. Thank you.

You are forever blessed for this beautifully written piece.
Shalom.

Try as much as you can Kadoso, you can never replace your Awolowo with your Tinubu.

Abeg tell the drug baron's follower o.
Can you imagine the propaganda of comparing Awolow with a rogue like Thiefnuibu, he was spewing with swaga

osazsky:
true talk cuz usa dont build infrasture again they already have all the infrastructures wat they are cosigned of now its internation politics..terroeism nutralisation world peace and bilateral trade..tech medicine..astronomy etc just be decieving urself y u now me rion ghana

Alary:
Na only you get sense pass.All other posters no even reason one bit , USA doesn't build many infrastructure again , they only maintain the once on ground and also improve on it.Which road network they want to build again?which hospitals, which school. Abegiiiii. America is a developed country while Nigeria is developing country. So Fashola is spot on this.

No wonder our country is such a basket case filled with Bubu's lazy youths.
What is Nigeria's total budget and what is the portion for infrastructure?

Biden signs $1.2 trillion US infrastructure bill into law

A second bill – Biden’s ‘Build Back Better’ plan – is expected to be debated in Congress this week.

The president hopes to use the new investments in roads, bridges and electric vehicles to rebuild his popularity, which has taken a hit amid rising inflation and continuing challenges to the US from COVID-19.

seunmsg:
Public schools in Lagos are free from primary to secondary level. In fact, Lagos state has the best public schools in Nigeria. The Mega school system that Tinubu introduced is now being replicated all over the country.
Lagos has the best primary health centers and general hospitals in Nigeria.

What is the percentage of Lagos children going to these free schools?
10%, 20%, 35%, 70%, 95%

That will help us know if Thiefnuibu's mega schools have been made available for everyone to match the trillions collected as revenue since 1999.
Then we will know who the anonymous lair is.

seunmsg:
Those you supported that stole the country's money and used it to buy diamond bra and shared billions to political cronies instead of building infrastructure are the ones that put the country in mess.

Diamond bra that EFCC denied?
What has Fashola and his Thiefnuibu godfather done with the trillions of Lagosians money since 1999?
No good road, no free education for every child, no basic healthcare free, no water, no mass transit. Nothing but stealing in bullion vans.
what sensible person is supporting these sweet talking rogues
