It takes intelligence to chair banks, own a bank, own business, companies, chair boards home and abroad, and have never declared bankruptcy before becoming a politician, it takes intelligence to be removed from office twice and recover mandate twice, first governor to do that, it takes intelligence to be a billionaire without politics. Good morning

But the intelligence failed him when he needed it most to build Anambra.

apache22b:
That's exactly how good governance starts

Obidient's urchins should thread carefully to avoid heart attack after Tinubu has been declared the next President of Nigeria

In terms of intelligence, Peter Obi and his Obidient urchins are no where near Tinubu

In terms of innovation, Peter Obi has nothing upstairs.

In terms of equity and fairness, Peter Obi and his Obidient urchins have failed woefully in that area .

Even in terms of eloquence and vibrancy, Peter Obi and his uneducated urchins are nothing but local traders in Alaba market .

Tinubu has promised us steady power supply and he's the one god has ordained to come to our rescue .

Lagos is the most organised and secured State in Nigeria courtesy of Bola Ahmed Tinubu . Check statistics for confirmation

@Falseprophet1 come out from your shell and tell the Obidient's urchins the truth.

Let us all be guided and do the right thing to embrace Bola Ahmed Tinubu the one and only fit for the office of the President

The Obidient's will never succeed in deceiving us this time around

Tinubu we await your administration

From the two words 'Emilokan' and 'Olule' propounded by BAT, it is clear that HE BAT is a creative leader. At this moment all we need is a creative leader who will make certain decisions that will navigate this country out of this bad situation towards greatness instantly which will surprise everyone how he does it.

God bless Nigeria.

The blue line starts from Marina and terminates at Okokomaiko, but the current phase will actually stop at Mile 2. Most of the stations along this axis have already been built since the time Fashola.

There is also a red line which is under construction (Oyingbo to Agbado). It was started in 2019 and will be completed by first quarter of next year. The red line will be connected to the airport from Ikeja. It will also be connected to the island from Oyingbo.[/quote

Bro, this is great work from Lagos govt courtesy BATmen!

RPG2020:
Electric and Nigeria don't have light

Hahahaha no be juju be that

As I write this there's light in my residence in Lagos. Truly electricity has improved. I just wish it gets better

scrolldown88:
Nigeria is a funny place. I find it totally baffling that even with all the decay in society, we are still debating whether or not to revote in a repressive government that has consistently impoverished the common man for 8 years.
At this point in a sane country, the present government would have been booted out.
The hunger and insecurity is biting. Government is insensitive to the plight of the common citizens. Yet still boldly seeking re-election.
Rich or poor, there's no joy in this country. The poor have it worst, because even poor man food is becoming unaffordable to them.
As for the rich, there's little rest, no freedom because of the many insecurities.
In a sane country:
At this point even if APC brings in John the Baptist as their candidate, they should be rejected. Anything short of that is re-enforcing bad behavior; and will seem like we're telling them to carry on with the 'good' work. APC shouldn't be considered no matter what or who they field.

As for PDP we've all seen what they have to offer. And it's not much different from what APC has currently done. In a sane country PDP won't be considered.

As for LP, I'm inclined to say they are the same as the 2 mentioned above. But voting them in gives a strong statement. A statement that says Nigerians are wiser and won't hesitate to vote out any party that does bad. A strong and bold statement that if you Bleep up you would be voted out at the next poll.
That's how countries grow. We have to move away from reelecting failing government, thereby reenforcing them, to changing failing government and trying new ones.
This kind of voters ideology is the only thing that will keep the government on their toes and force them to deliver what they promised.
Right now APC can't promise anything because the promises of the past 8 years haven't been met.
We should stop encouraging bad governments by reelecting them.

Bros, your claim can only yield if we have a new crop of politicians who are free from a culture of corruption which I think is impossible. Especially in Nigeria where 'cross carpeting' is the norm. It will be tough to believe the new party will deliver when you have a chip from the old bloc I.e if you have a member of the old and allegedly corrupt infested parties to spearhead or represent the new party.

Nigeria's politics is kind of puzzled.

KillSars:
This is not necessary, just thank God and move on...

Bro, for me it's necessary. It helps to heal the world by discouraging such acts by other people like him who read this write-up. Not doing this will result in more such acts in our society.

Let's always learn from good behavior and shun bad behavior.

UrVillagePpl:
A long read but quite insightful and inspiring.


I was supposed to graduate with a First-Class but made 2:1(second class upper) because a lecturer vowed that I can't be the best student ever in Computer Science Department.

What was my offence?

He said I was so insolent to publicly correct a wrong notion he postulated in class during one of his lectures, also, since he didn't graduate with a First Class then nobody else would be in the department as long as he is alive.

This happened about 12 years ago.

He was the head of the conspiracy that marked me down in my final year...

I was very depressed the day I collected my call-up letter to the National Youth Service Corps and saw I was posted to Kebbi one of the educationally less developed states in the country.

Going out of the school, I met Dr. Irukefe at the walkway and he said " I heard about your posting."

He laughed and continued " It doesn't cost much to give your details to someone at NYSC, I want to see how your computer knowledge will be useful in a state where you can count the number of computers, you felt you know something l will see how you will make it in this profession. Best of Luck". And he walked away.

I was stunned because I wanted to serve in Lagos, so this was how I got Kebbi.

Later, a reliable source told me he said that I should thank my stars that he didn't make me have an extra year in school.

I didn't know the hatred was so much.
I was diligent in my studies because of my poor background, my parent struggled to send me to school.

I went to the NYSC camp in Dakingari, very discouraged because I wanted to serve in Lagos where an IT firm had promised to pay me 20,000 Naira apart from my NYSC allowance.

Three days to the end of the camp, a man came asking if there is anyone who can repair a Laptop computer. I volunteered and successfully repaired it. He said his thanks, collected my phone number, and left. He didn't even pay me for my effort.

I thought I was going to teach in a school, When I received my placement letter, I was shocked that I was posted to the office of the Senator representing one of the constituencies in the state.

I was astonished. More amazed, when my phone rang about an hour and the man who came with the faulty Laptop was waiting for me in a Jeep.

He drove me to meet the senator, who thanked me profusely for saving his laptop because it contained bills that he wanted to sponsor at the Senate for his constituency.

The Senator offered me a job as his Personal Assistant and computer instructor at the computer institute he had set up in the state. He laid down his plans on how he wanted young students in his constituency to be computer literate and I am to be the coordinator.

My salary was over 80,000 Naira, with a furnished apartment, and medical allowance. I had access to his cars, and the first contract I executed made me a millionaire because I was asked to procure laptops and accessories for all the senior civil servants in the state ministries.

His company was given the contract.

It was from this state that I was able to secure a scholarship to study after three years of working with my principal after NYSC. He didn't want me to go because the computer school was a success story but he facilitated my comfortable arrival in the United States.

All this happened within 12 years.

I have a Ph.D. in Forensic and Information Technology.

Not quite a long time, I was speaking at the conference of World Forensic Scientists in Japan. After delivering my lecture, there was a standing ovation from the participants all over the world.

Among them was my old-time lecturer, after the proceeding, I walked up and greeted him, he acted like he couldn't recall who I was so I reminded his exact words which were "let me see how you will make it in this profession. I am the boy you said those words to.

He was astonished.

I advised, "try to be a mentor to the young students, you don't know who and what they will become."

"Not only have I made it from this profession but internationally am recognized, you must have been seeing my publications, It was I who paid $5500 to sponsor your trip for this conference under the auspices of GRAND Inc. I owed the company.

"Sir, yearly you will be invited, to speak at a conference like this, it's my way of saying thank you for influencing my posting to Kebbi state that particular year. If you had not done it I would not have made it to where I am today. You meant evil but God turn it into good.

"I hope your hotel room (Room 312) has a nice view of Tokyo?"

He stood rooted to the spot, he was too dazed to speak as I was taken away to meet other professionals in the tech business.

He later sent a mail of apology

when ASUU went on strike, I was informed he was boasting at the department in Nigeria that he is the only lecturer in Africa, who was invited to participate at the GRAND Inc World Conference and subsequently he would be one of the speakers. I guess a leopard never changes its spot.

I am glad he is not poor but he didn't meet me where he left me 12 years ago.

No matter what anyone does to you, continue to be hardworking, a man's gift one day will always make a way for him.



COPIED

Wow! A great write up. Nobody knows tomorrow

thinkmoney:
It is the best state obviously. It doesn't depend on how much it receives, it is really how much it generates.
Lagos receives more than any state, however, there are couple of states especially in the south south that receives close to it. However, no state (even many other africa countries), come close to it in terms of what it generates. No state do 1/10th.
You can see Ayade of cross river and wike of rivers doing a lot of projects because of the huge money they receive. Lagos on the other hand don't only receive huge money, but it generates a lot more money. Other states are hopeless compared to it.
Where there is money, u won't notice much ineptitude on the part of the government. Its not possible that all the successive governors have been fantastic. They are all Nigerians and humans. We can see what the other governors Tinubu has helped put in other states in the south west with far far less money, we can see how they have performed.
Its foolish to try compare the performance of lagos government with other governments.

In fact, in 2019 it was Delta that received more not Lagos state.

Antoeni:
Sanwo-Olu is The Least Performing Of
Tinubu, Fashola & Ambode

Actually, when there is continuity in performance, it will be hard to justify who has performed better because the demands are in different phases. E.g Tinubu was in the initial stage, Fashola was in the immediate stage, Ambode in the intermediate and Sanwo Olu in the current stage. The next person that comes will also ensure continuity. That's good governance to me. Truly, Tinubu laid a foundation.

nakotee:
Recently the name of Jesus who is known to be the name given to the son of the Most High God according to the Christian religion has be constantly been abused and defiled recently by skit makers in Nigeria.

JESUS is a sacred name and should not be used in any form of skit Making, Recently skit makers who show women indecently dressed also used the name of Jesus as jokes to sell their skit movies . This is not a good thing to behold in a country like Nigeria who took Christianity as one of its major religions.

I hearby call on the notice of the Christian Association of Nigeria to call to order all skit makers and every other persons who are presently abusing the name of JESUS.

Please Moderators this issue should be given more attention.

CAN will not see that one. All they are after is a MUSLIM MUSLIM ticket. Turning politicians overnight for one reason or the other. Fools!

Psychokinetic:
No. Because we are tired of the dingBAT druglord and his gang of 40 thieves he calls APC. Awon emilokan, Awon osinwin oshi

Name 7 achievements by PETER OBI as governor.

ThrownBack:
Tinubu vs Obi is a walkover.

Maybe 20 years ago, we would have done this, but now,

Tinubu is in no state of health or frame of mind to be compared to Obi. Give us Osinbajo or Fashola please.

Don't just wish Nigeria evil.

10+ valid (present and futuristic) reasons why BAT deserves to win the presidential seat come 2023

1. Power: Tinubu’s government, in 2000, contracted AES to build an IPP that will generate 270MW of electricity to Lagos residents in order to exit the irrational power supply being provided by the FG. The 270MW is now part of our national grid.
First of it’s Kind

2. Decentralisation: In order to bring governance closer to the people of Lagos state, Asiwaju created extra 36 LCDAs which led to the disagreement between Lagos and the OBJ led FG. They are still working till date. Nigeria needs someone who believes in this!
First of it’s kind

3. Economy: With an IGR of just over 600million naira when he took over, different initiatives which included the reorganisation of the LIRS led to an unprecedented IGR of over 7billion monthly after 8 years, the sustainability of which has brought same to 57bn in 2022

4 Health: Decentralisation of the Health Management Board led to the creation of LASAMBUS, an ambulance management scheme, Hospital Services Commission and Lagos State Health Facility Monitoring and Accreditation Agency.

In addition, policies such as “Roll Back Malaria”, “Jigi Bola, Free Health Policy for children below 16 year and adults above 65 years are verifiable ones that stood him out then.
First of its Kind.

5. Infrastructure: Roads, Railway Roadmaps, Port Roadmaps, Housing Roadmaps. Hospital Roadmaps.

6. Investment: Lekki Free Trade Zone opened Lagos to investors and now several top companies/bodies have their headquarters there including the biggest consulate office of the USA

7. Housing: Decentralisation of the ministry of works and housing gave birth to the conversion of the housing department to a full fledge ministry which was charged with providing 500 units of houses yearly. This single move led to making the Lekki corridor the fastest growing,
real estate investment haven in Nigeria.

Housing sector was opened to the private investors and Lagos became the highest destination for real estate investors in Nigeria.

8. EDUCATION: Payment of WAEC fee for students from all walks of life so far you live in Lagos. Several schools were built. The One-Day governor program started with the spelling bee competition.
First of its kind.

9. SECURITY: The closest thing to state policing started in Nigeria under Tinubu, with RRS in 1999. The prisons reformation in order to curb activities of criminals, led to conversion of Ita Oko Prisoners Camp to a Youth Skill Acquisition Centre.

10. ENVIRONMENT: LAWMA, LASEPA, LWC, PUMAU, LASECA. All formulated by @officialABAT
to tackle the issue of environmental decay in Lagos

11. EMPOWERMENT SCHEMES: The creation of several agencies led to several openings in the government which led to jobs in LASTMA, LAGBUS, LASEWA etc.
First of its kind.

Oga, The list long.

Who dares compare JAGABAN to OBI?? Abi dem dey crase??

Kobojunkie:

Nice one, we the reasonable Nigerian youth will look at the regions and states of the presidential candidates, and vote for the candidate with the best state in terms of infrastructure, security, investment, economy, education, HDI, GDP.

Only a foolish person will vote for anyone based on what he says he will do, while he didn't do them as a governor, or based on the number of shoes he claims he has.

The evil party trying hard to balance the equation which they have already distorted.
This party alongside PDP are some of the worst things to happen to this contraption.

The vegetable in Aso Rock approved a humongous sum of money for his distant cousins all in the guise of fighting insecurity. This is one of many shady deals that are being done under the carpet.

The true enemies of the state are those who will vote APC and PDP next year.

kenedy175:
Aha!! I can now have a discussion with someone.

You're very right. He helping Buhari become president is a huge blow to Tinubu's presidential Aspiration. And the platform APC upon which he's running isn't helping matters too. APC i can say brought in the worse government in this country.

But that's not just it.. his age and health status is also an issue. Nigeria is a very demanding country to given both mentally and physically. It's no news that Tinubu has a form of neurodegenerative illness, probably Parkinsons. He has showed all the symptoms, slurred speech, ataxic gait, fine tremors and all of that.

The fact that there were other credible candidates in the person of Osibanjo.. but Tinubu shoved him aside by been the highest "briber" and having that sense of entitlement that it is his turn. If Osibanjo were the flag bearer of APC, I'm dead sure he won't be having this issues Tinubu and APC are having now.

If Obi was the flag bearer of APC, the dynamics will change. I'll still vote for him because I believe he's credible enough and has what it takes to salvage this nation

Well nice points bro. I agree with you to some extent but not to the part that I believe HE Tinubu will work with young minds, best brains to deliver the country. Where he did same in Lagos with Fashola becoming gov at 43, Ambode at 51, and Sanwo Olu at 53. Now see now that Lagos is performing.

On the ground of his health, I disagree oo especially seeing his recent activeness going from place to place for meetings etc. I know he has many flaws as said by people but come to think of it, who is best for this post after reading this post in the below thread.

frog12:
ah, when people like you dey drown for river, its better to just leave you there.
Atiku was in charge of fixing power with minister barth Nnaji. Atiku was there. he is responsible for the power mess we have now !!

Bros calm down, I'm not in support of Atiku or anybody all I'm saying is that except the president is incapacitated the Vice President has nothing to do which renders him useless. E.g The recent time Buhari was ill and was admitted to London for some weeks, was when Osinbajo took over the decision making and we saw what happened to the Nigerian currency. Naira eventually appreciated during that period.

Hydroxide:
you're a fool for thinking Tinubu made lagos what it is today. Weyrey

Mad man, so na your papa make Lagos better? Wehrey alaso!

Agboriotejoye:
Mumu are you in the US?
There's nothing like religion, tribe, or region in US politics.
It is black Africa that grapples with such things.

You are a fool. Do you go to school at all? Well, for your information, not just US politics, In the world view on 'politics' you shouldn't prioritize religion, tribe, and region over 'competence' and that includes NIGERIA.

Now I see why your thought is shallow and your skull is thick.

Seriously, i'm confused.
Tinubu sees the presidency as his inheritance, Atiku sees it as a business opportunity while Obi's fellow state indigenes are calling him a curse.

Na where we go con turn to laidis when the 3 biggest contesters are all birds of a feather...

I weep for my country.

Anyways, when you have to pick a choice among three evils, you choose the lesser one.

Let's see how this unfolds
I hope we don't make another mistake in this country.

I remember the elderly people saying ' EVEN IF YOU WAN CHOP MONEY, MAKE SURE YOU DELIVER

Therefore, of the 3 candidates, the only one that can deliver is TINUBU. He delivered Lagos from shanties, he can do the same in Nigeria with his INNOVATIVE APPROACH. And that's a big difference between him and the other two which shows that HE is not myopic!
