An awakening has started even among the core northern Nigerian people otherwise the Sultant will not even talk.

Hmmmmm....it's done on Buhari when the sultanate/caliphate is against him. But the moronic zombies (aka BMC crew) he has in this forum are jumping from one thread to another trying to defend the indefensible on empty stomachs with a monthly meager 30k, which I don't even know if this current minimum wage will affect. I spit on their bald heads. #spits#

Yep, absolutely true. The song is on point. As i was standing there and watching the luggage, i felt so stupid and confused. How did i become a luggage watcher or "load monitor" to a stranger i just met not even on a plane but on a damn immigration queue. Well, trust me, unlike the character in Pocohantas story that did not survive the bakassi brushing, I survived it. It was rolled very well and twerked in front of me but i did not collect number or contact. Babe sef confuse. Yes, i do security work small, but the best part for me was the genuine heartfelt, "Thank you very much, I am grateful, from a fellow Nigerian.

Something like this was planned for Lagos city by then governor jakande but the then mother fvcking tribalistic, uneducated, myopic and vision lees dull idiot military head of states nipped It in the bud.

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.”

US$67 Billion Mismanaged and squandered …former World Bank VP Reveals

Obiageli Ezekwesili at the Nigerian Lawyers Association event in New York She has always exhibited fierceness through her professional life, and has been in positions that demand accountability in public life. She is Obiageli Ezekwesili, the former World Bank Vice President for Africa, and co-founder of Transparency International, and served as one of the pioneer Directors of the global anti-corruption agency.

It therefore came as no surprise that, during a speech at her alma mater’s 42nd Convocation lecture of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, she accused two successive Nigerian administrations of mismanaging and squandering $67 billion left by the former Obasanjo administration. The two administrations she accused include the late Yar’Adua administration, of which the current President, Goodluck Jonathan, was the Vice President and now his own administration. Jonathan’s henchmen were quick to retaliate and blasted Ezekwesili of not accounting for billions of Naira in public funds when she was Minister of Education for only 10 months, and her reply that, “my integrity and transparent record in public office can never be tarnished by baseless allegations regarding my ten months as Minister of Education.”

grandstar:
Why is there this belief that splitting the country up will help.

If splitting it in half, a North and a South isn't enough. Igbos may come to dominate commercial life in the South and may lead to resentment by the Yourubas and other ethnic groups.

Best split is 4 ways. North, Southwest, Southeast, and South South. Even at that, Middle Belt states like Niger, Benue, Plateau for instance will not want to be joined with the North. Kwara may prefer to join the Yorubas. A split Yugoslavian style will be more like it.

There’s No Stopping Fashola’s Probe —Keyamo
April 16, 2010 15:02, 1,040 views
By Kazeem Ugbodaga

Lagos lawyer and counsel to the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mr. Festus Keyamo says nothing would stop the House from probing allegations of financial misappropriation against Governor Babatunde Fashola.

He called on the governor to submit himself to probe in order to clear himself, saying there was no hiding through court injunction to dodge the probe against him.

The State House of Assembly had yesterday set up a fresh 7-member committee to probe allegations against the governor by the True Face of Lagos, which staged a protest to the House recently to demand probe of the governor.

Speaking with P.M.NEWS this morning, Keyamo said that the governor should be probed, adding that the accolades the governor received in the media should not divert attention from the real thing.

“Every public officer has a duty to give account of stewardship no matter the height of praise singing he receives from the press. The office you are occupying is not your father’s property but the public.

“Probe is not the same thing as verdict of guilt, but an opportunity for one to clear himself. If Fashola believes his hands are clean, now is the opportunity for him to shine,” he stated.

According to him, “Fashola should take the path of honour and clear himself of the allegations. He can’t continue to hide under court injunction.

“If you say you plant grass and flower, come and tell the people how much you spent in planting them, tell them how you spent their money because it is not your father’s money.

“The House must go ahead with the probe because it is their constitutional and moral duty to do what they want to do. They have now properly published the allegations in their official journal.”

Comrade Bamidele Aturu, who was counsel to Mr. Richard Akinola, the man who first went to court to stop the House from probing the governor, said “we will assess our legal option and deal with the issue.”

Aturu stated that if the House erred in setting up the new committee, it would be challenged in the court, saying that “we are for democracy and probity.”

Also, Majority Leader, Lagos Assembly, Hon. Kolawole Taiwo said the House had already published the allegations in the Assembly’s journal, saying that the House would go ahead with the probe.

Where is the 'human face' in governance?

Woke up with strength and vigour this morning and was up to face today with all hopes and aspirations but was sad & almost started crying after watching this video.

I've been an advocate of leaders been strong at all time with will power to carry out leadership responsibilities. And that emotional leaders don't go far but certainly not this way.

In leadership and governance, there's a place for 'Human face' no matter the circumstances. Widows to the best of my knowledge are integral part of our society and if we don't apply human face when dealing with them, am afraid we are far from getting there as a people.

Two wrongs indeed can never make things right and as such, can't fathom why the Governor of Edo State, Comrade Adams A. O. will treat this widow like this and even tell her to go and die when she's struggling to provide food for her family. I think it would've been far better to make her pay a fine for her wrong doing than this humiliation.

The agony of the poor in our society......

Inside Lagos Where Roguish Unions Extort Bike-Hailing Firms With Bogus Taxes & Gov’t Calls It Fair Game
December 6, 2019

But it’s somewhat ironic that the ‘bike-hailing wars’ term is now probably most apt for describing the terror unleashed on bike-hailing companies by roguish, mafia-like transport unions, masquerading as interest groups, whose stock in trade is to intimidate and extort under the guise of “protecting the lives of people plying the roads and upholding the interest/rights of road transport workers.”

And to make matters worse, it appears these unions have the government’s blessing. That is why it can be said that when the Lagos State Government finally stepped in to address the issue, it was to pander to the unions and order the bike-hailing companies to bend over and take the pummeling.

Unions+Government Vs Ride-Hailing Companies
Yes, for several months, the government has looked the other way while individuals affiliated to the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) and Road Transport Employers’ Association of Nigeria (RTEAN) have taken turns to remind the bike-hailing firms that they own the turf, and by extension, whatever funds made by those firms.

It didn’t take long before the unions grew bolder with their demands. At first, it was just a few demands and disruptions here and there — several bike-hailing riders being manhandled by Agberos on the roads and being forced to pay up to 5-times a ‘daily levy’ that is dubious in its very nature.

Then eventually, the unions thought to take things to another level, encouraged by a warped, misguided idea that “bike-hailing startups operating in Lagos are deep-pocketed foreign companies that have no business making money off of the roads and must be milked for all they’ve got if they must operate.”

LAGOS State Governor, Babatunde Fashola, yesterday, gave a breakdown of how his administration expended the N160 billion World Bank loan it acquired, saying the state maintained a healthy debt profile.

Fashoa, who spoke during his commemoration of 2,700 days in office and achievements in the last 100 days, in Alausa, Ikeja, said long overdue refund would go a long way in reducing the debt profile of the State, which he said the Federal Government recently published to mislead the public.

He said, “Recently, our political adversaries issued statements that we have borrowed N160 billion. What they have not told you is what we are doing with the money.”

Enumerating his government’s activities within the period under consideration he said; “In the last 100 days, we have commenced work on providing street lighting on the Muritala Muhammed Way in Yaba.

This is 10 kilometres of public lighting which will be completed by the end of this month. On Eko Bridge, Carter Bridge, Ikorodu Road, Lekki-Epe Expressway and every street and highway where there is street lighting in Lagos, it is the Lagos State Government that supplied the poles, the bulbs, the diesel and the maintenance.

“The only major highway we are not managing for street lights is the 3rd Mainland Bridge.

Fire engines, to secure lives, rail transport from Okokomaiko to Marina, with four stations of eight kilometres completed, and work heading to Marina, with piles appearing near the Eko Bridge every day are the places your Government is spending money. The expansion of the Lagos Badagry Expressway to a 10-lane highway is another place where your Government is spending money.
