Lagos roads are too congested already resulting in traffic and waste of man hours. Introducing new buses to add to the existing traffic gridlock is compounding the problem we are yet to solve. A simple solution to ease traffic in Lagos roads and move mass number of people easily and comfortably is to construct a fast light rail system connecting major points in the city. The rail should connect Ikorodu to the Island, Island to Epe, Badagry to Oshodi. This is long overdue.

Lol this thing wey you talk. Person papa talk am when e just marry. Now e don get grey hair.

Na slow minded dimwits dey incharge walai. Nigeria is just going forth and back. Such archaic developments. Nairobi has a high speed train and the population is slightly above three million. It's unbelievable that there's not a single train in Lagos. A city inhabited by eighteen million people! Eighteen million!

lastempero:
Sorry it is not yet city but an enclave.

Lmao

I don't believe this.

They can say anything to discredit herbal medicine that has been a source of wellness for years.

If I may ask what exactly in the agbo causes kidney damage?

I took agbo iba as a child to combat malaria and nothing happened to me.

An average traditional Yoruba family drinks agbo like they drink coke.
If it were true there would be higher percentage of kidney failure among them ( plus their kids) than anywhere in naija

The average traditional Yoruba family even replaces all drinking water with agbo.

Environmental impact? Are you kidding? All the countries with refineries don't consider or do EIAs? Lmao

Derivatives of crude oil (as varied and diverse as they are) will always be researched. Just like alternatives to everything is equally researched. Doesn't mean you handicap ypur economy and not produce and export what you can sell while you can sell it. Not rocket science

I understand his views but he's not fully understanding economics. Africa is a large market and as far as development is concerned, they are far from it. The need for petrochemicals would forever be existent in Africa and some parts of Asia. Dangote is going to make a lot of money but he's also doing Africa a favour. What do you think?

Liverpool needs to get creative up front but cannot afford to play Lallana because of defensive reasons so we can only hope Firmino who plays as a false 9 gets his game right cos he's making predictable dribbles against strong defenders like Hummels and Martinez. In a match like this, no Bobby, no party.

TheGuyNextDoor:
The most useless President in the history of Nigeria....

He completed Lagos-Ibadan with the wreck balance Jonathan left. I'm not pro-buhari but I think you're an Atiku fan so I'm just saying Buhari is the better option. The devil you know is better than the devil you don't know.

mycar:
How are you sure they will all vote for Buhari, oh, the people you gave money to?
No worry, we are coming. Let us eat first, by the time the actual voting starts, they will all be tired and retired to their homes to sleep since they did the right thing at the wrong time.
By the way, if Atiku is really a thief according to you guys then our salvation is in his hand since our saviour will come like a thief!
Got it?

Yeah I got it but I have to say it's been a while I've cringed to witnessing such a huge amount of stupidity bestowed upon just one human. With great stupidity comes great myopic utterances, I guess.

ct2:
Pls give me a reason why I shouldn't vote this man

buhari for third term

Lol village man. If I start to mention why you shouldn't vote him, Nairaland server go shut down cos e too plenty!
I don't know why people think Nigeria is doing well when it should be 1000X better.

madridsta007:
I hope this helps you.
The historical evidence of Buhari’s incompetence at every level and his bigoted utterances are staggering. If you still, despite these, trusted, supported, enabled, Buhari in 2015, you are a Buharist and you posses a terrible sense of history and judgment.

Not sure this should be an argument.

You're making it seem like he's a bad person for trusting the so called leaders you guys say have experience and everything. Nigeria was in a state of confusion, disorientation and stupefication towards the end of Jonathan adminstration with the super high level of corruption and looting in the nation. Also, the book haram insurgency played a big part in making Buhari appear like the Messiah we needed considering his history as a retired soldier and he's not rarely associated with the word corruption. Nothing bad in saying you think someone can deliver if you think so.

But now that we see that they're all fools and hypocrites, why not get the job done yourself! Before you say Sowore should start from somewhere remember Buhari wasn't qualified for Presidency (certificate) either but he got in. I believe Sowore can get in if we unite.

Au contraire mes ami
It's political illiterates pretending to be educated that are telling him to ride on with a failing tactic
Which resource will he use to campaign to 66 million traders and farmers with no internet
Or you think the election is in nairaland


This is an informed fact not wishful thinking of the naive



That should tell you and him something

There is no try
Either you do or youh don't
If you can't win
You can't solve or problems



Cos they had nothing to offer


Says who?
You crawl before you fly


Cos activists don't want change
If things change no more glory for them


We do
We just don't want to be disappointed again


Only you say that


What do we want in common
Joker


Hahahahaha this evil country

now you're talking like educated somebody

I said we all want a good country you said I'm a joker. Well said like a true oppressor lover!

Firstly, Democracy or Demonstration Of Craze like Fela calls it is a sham, especially the one the white people taught us. Simply because Sowore doesn't have enough funds means we should leave the country to be looted by rogues. You make it seem like it's Sowore against you when it's You and Sowore against the likes of Obasanjo, Atiku, Ganduje, Buhari etc.

I can't wrap my head around your perspectives. Did you watch something on local TV that brainwashed you? Because you seem like an educated guy who must know one or two things of Nigeria's history but you're still adamant about leaving the country the way it is.

iCauseTrouble:
The guy is better as an activist than administrator

May you not be foolish all of your life. If he continues as an activist, he'll die as an activist and nothing will change.

I listened to a lot of Fela today and it's kinda crazy that the same awful events during his time are still happening in 2019. The same thieves that Fela cried about are the ones we are still celebrating in 2019.

Did you know Obasanjo ordered 1,000 soldiers to beat up Fela and his family, burn down his house, rape his wives and in the scuffle, they threw his mother out of a window. All of these simply because a man sang about our soldiers/police acting like zombies(which they are).
This same Obasanjo is being celebrated. Some call him Baba. Some call him the Father of Nigeria. A thief is endorsing another thief and we see nothing wrong.

What Sowore is doing is not easy. It takes courage, it takes a certain level of TRUE love for your motherland, it takes integrity too. Fela sang that "my Nigerian people no won talk! Them no won fight for their happiness!" Someone as influencial as Fela sang that we should fight our corrupt government like every other country did yet NOTHING happened. Instead, we even fell deeply in love the corrupt ones. So it's not surprising that Sowore wouldn't stand a chance. It's not surprising at all! Fela sang and didn't act but he said we should act but we didn't! Now, Sowore is doing all the work and acting on behalf of us, SIMPLE FOLLOW! SIMPLE FOLLOW! WE CANNOT FOLLOW!

Only illiterates will make the "he should start from somewhere" or "he should remain an activist" or "he can't win" comments. If he should run as even a governor, he'd not still win. There are thousands of him; people with good intentions for Nigeria - that have tried to run for governor but nobody even cared. For you to cut down on corruption, you have to start from the top. For the ones that say he should remain an activist, if he does he'll remain an activist like Soyinka and nothing will change till his death. Now the classic "HE CAN'T WIN", y'all don't know the power you carry. You say there are too much people in the north. If you truly love Nigeria you'd do all you can to spread the word. Nigeria is not that big! And we all want something in common. A good country for good people!

Therefore, I've come to the conclusion that majority of Nigerians, even the educated ones are still in love with their oppressors because they wish to be oppressors themselves!!

Mehh lol

Codes151:
Anybody pushing this sowore is a fool even the op of this thread!!

Because he ran Sahara blog or what? Someone that doesn’t know shit about nigeria!? A man that has no idea of how politics is ran In Nigeria?

Forget sentiments., sowore cannot be a president. He has no idea whatsoever except what he feels he’s read

One of my professors once said "There are 3 things that a man must have. Intelligence, Wisdom and Integrity. It's good if a man has the first two but if he doesn't have Integrity, then the first two are useless."

Sowore might not have experience in "politicking" but he's trustworthy and that's all that matters. You can trust that when things aren't going well for the country, he'll do all the RIGHT things to make it work. Besides, being president isn't as complicated as you think! You think it's Donald Trump or Justin Trudeau that's making their country great? It's the smart minds that surrounds them.

Stewart83:
I see alot of Nigerians wanting to move abroad but are unaware of the challenges there,most especially in Europe.

I moved to Sweden in 2006(Although presently in Nigeria now handling some things)At first I loved what I saw - free education, beautiful and abundant nature -even in the cities, well designed communities with plenty of free facilities, many free community activities and a strong commitment to sustainability.

However after living here a few years I began to notice that some things are very wrong and Sweden is not the paradise it appears to be at first glance. Here is my list of the biggest issues as I see them:

Firstly, there is no consumer choice. Generic and expensive goods line the same few large supermarket type shops. Small business is virtually nonexistent aside from the awful pizza/kebab, Asian food or hotdog/ hamburger stalls run by entrepeneurial immigrants. Customer service and special requests are also non existent. Innovation, warmth, product knowledge and creativity are strongly lacking in the commercial sector.

Immigrants are welcomed, with racism frowned upon harshly, however once these immigrants arrive they are segregated off away from the native Swedes, unable to find employment and unable to navigate the endless complex rule systems with strong risks of being persecuted by the social services. The ‘welcoming’ Swedes dont allow their children to set foot in immigrant suburbs or schools, and wonder why there is very little integration happening.

Swedish people are very unfriendly, closed minded and conforming. It is almost impossible to form close friendships.
Winter is like hell. The first few months feel cosy and the snow is beautiful, but eventually the darkness, cold and boredom start wearing you down.

There are endless trivial rules which are harshly enforced. I wanted to get my licence in Sweden, but ticked a box on the licence form which asked about health issues. I have had declining kidney function (very irrelevant to driving) so I noted it down. I was unable to get a licence (I have been driving 15 years, but my Australian licence is not recognised here after the first year) because I needed a certificate from a kidney specialist. I was unable to be referred to a kidney specialist because my kidney function is not severely declined. When attempting to fix the issue - rules are rules, and thats simply the way it is. The issue is unable to be resolved so I am allowed to drive in neighbouring countries, but not here. Attempting to live here is filled with many similar incredibly frustrating experiences. Banks wont let you open an account except on weekday mornings, but dont let you know that until you have waited in a queue for several hours. There is no other option even if you work or study on weekday mornings, and nobody cares. Every simple process is a beaurocratic nightmare

Whilst at first I believed the free schools, childcare and medical services were a great family friendly policy, on closer interaction in the system I realised this is a system of control and incompetence which is not leading to positive outcomes. Firstly, everyone is expected to take their children to daycare and go to work.

There is no freedom of choice to look after your children, homeschool or rear your children according to your beliefs and values. Children are informed about endless rights, and have no obligations to behave in a respectful manner. Parents are powerless, teachers are powerless and getting an education in a swedish school is a debacle of children on phones and talking during class, swearing at teachers, abusing and bullying each other and any form of punishment towards unruly children is disallowed. School is somewhat reminiscent of lord of the flies.

Police are useless - except with regard to prosecuting minor crimes such as parking fines. Fewer than 3% of crimes are solved, reports are filed but never investigated - even with matters which are taken very seriously in the rest of the world such as violent crime and rape.

Whilst medical care is generally free to low cost, the wait times are insane. It could be 3 weeks to see your GP (too bad if the matter is urgent) and 10 months to see a specialist. Specialists are allowed to refuse referrals, and if you have a chronic illness you are likely in the wrong country.

So guys if you want to immigrate always think about the Pros & Cons so you won't regret!!!

This is to an extent, a form of plagiarism. You ought to let people know that it's not your words.

Gbefun autojosh!!! In this 1min+ video, the train covered 287km! And it is supposed to be at an average speed of 287km/h... I can't relate
Planes speed 700km/h and it's not as crazy as this.
This speed you recorded is approximately 287 * 60 = 17220km/h

I agree with you

Ease of movement ie eko for show, I strongly advice you use that money to buy a land, it will appreciate over time,100k basic is a no salary to use to maintain a car

Lol well said like a true mainland guy in love with his danfo.

Ezeah19:
Happy to see Van dijk

He shouldn't be there yet

Awol1:
Ha! Ogbeni, whish idiot is that ni?

Don't mind him o! The entire Yoruba race should go ahead and vote for Buhari o, because of uncompleted railway.

After baba Buhari has completed in 2023, it will be the turn of Asiwaju (if there's still Nigeria).

After Tinubu, it will be the turn of El'Rufai.

After El'Rufai, it will be the turn of Fashola. etc, etc,

Don't let those people deceive you from the Yoruba ultimate agenda, you hear?

You forgot Shehu Shagari

derrydinny:
when will nigeria get sense? op didn't mention the tactics they use, their star players and manager, he only talked about how they live in church and pray before matches like those things win football matches. Messi has tattoos, cr7 has children out of wedlock but both of them are GOATs


nigerians should understand that religion has nothing to do with football

Lol they are doing like Supa Strikers. Giving each FOOTBALLER a pastor instead of trainer. Archaic football practice. Na why our whole super eagles squad no fit player corner kick.

madridguy:
Carry GO Sai Baba. 4+4= 8

Sai Baba till 2023.

His he not like 76 years old? You want a 81 year old man ruling our country?

flyingdutchman:
I am not oblivious to the roles he played some years ago in blackmailing politicians in office. If he was simply exposing the truth in service of the fatherland, that would have been okay. But, to financially benefit from it and offer his services to a certain political Bigwig in Lagos goes to show who he really is. I am all for youthfulness. But, not him. His hands are soiled.

The problem with Nigerians is that they think they know everything. His hands are soiled yet he doesn't have a single stain on him. How does that work when he has openly come out as an aspirant? If he really had dirt on him, I'm sure the opposition parties would have put something out there. I hope you're not being tribalistic.

flyingdutchman:
Sha! What do you know about sacrifice? What does he know about sacrifice Some people should understand their role in life. His, is that of an activist/scandal exposer. Sacrifice my ass! BS!

Read what you wrote. Are you ok with what you wrote?

Cantonese:
In competitions there are people called "also ran". Unfortunately it is impossible for him to win in wards how much more the presidency where PDP and APC are the main contestants.

That's just pessimism in its raw form.
What makes it impossible if the decision is in our hands?
6 out of 10 of my very political active friends have made the decision to vote for Sowore in 2019 so it's all in your head. Together we are stronger than any Buhari or Tinubu or Jubril.

Kellibae:
Speaking of for me,?
He is speaking up for his pockets I just pity u gullible people who has fallen for this touts games.
Ofcouse he cant win.. So let him continue deceiving u guys

The price for greatness is responsibility. It's only normal you call him a tout. Call him whatever you will. That's the price he has to pay for putting himself out there like a messiah.

I don't know who you are or what good this administration has done for you but I'm telling you my fellow Nigerian, you deserve better. It's insanity for senators to be earning 109m per year. 400billion statutory transfer!
The usual game plan that PDP and APC use is to draw out the patience of the public so that when that little is done, the public is expected to applaud the leaders for doing what amounts to nothing. In the process, the idea of the big picture is forgotten and the public dwells on virtual inanities. Basic amenities that we ought to enjoy naturally is packaged to us with wrapping paper.

Take it back from these miscreants, my people. Take your country back!

Ziggylady:
Guy you Sowore advocates are simpy blowing hot air.,insulting people like you and your ilks are doing here will not cut it

There has to be some sort of structural change before someone like him can have a fighting chance.,As long as Nigeria operates this nonsense structure we have at the moment,then people like Sowore will not win!!..

However if i were to vote for a 'fresh blood' anyway,Sowore is actually last on my list because he comes of as a clown still stuck with his University 'aluta' apparel..Sowore should start with LG or even Governorship,State House of Assembly if he is sincere and not this Presidential noise he is making.

Anyway Kingley Moghalu would have gotten my vote though.

The movement doesn't need people who sit at home and believe nothing can be done about the way things are. You want the nonsense structure we operate to change but you keep doing the same thing. Let me give you a hint - TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
Truth is you can't really know the thoughts the aspirants have for the nation but do you not see that judging from history, Sowore has the likeness of Fela Kuti - Not in lifestyle but at heart - and fearless people like Fela Kuti and Sowore come once in a lifetime.

Moghalu is a good even perfect candidate cos I watched his interview and heard about his plans but I believe he can be hushed when put under pressure by the cabal BUT NOT SOWORE. Sowore looked the Minister Of Information in the eye, told him he was going to end up in jail come 2019 if anything incriminating is found in his record.

psalmiel:
To be realistic, I'm not surprised Sowore wasn't included for the debate. From my opinion, he is not well cultured having listened to him.

I'm so confident Kingsley Moghalu will outsmart his fellow Presidential Aspirants because he's damn sound and vast in knowledge and also exposed having worked with the UN for solid 17years amongst other achievements.

It's time the "elites" and not "miscrants" needs to rule this country. How I wish it would be possible because our politics in Nigeria is messed up and we're "fantastically corrupt" like Cameron tagged us.
I would rather waste my vote for Kingsley Moghalu than vote for those "antiquated Grandpa's".

God Bless Nigeria.

Open your eyes and do your research and find out what Sowore is talking about whenever he points fingers. Nigeria is currently controlled by the Cabal. Wicked miscreants who want everything Nigeria has for themselves. Sowore is a thorn in their flesh and he's not even in power yet. Think of the possibilities with such an active president. Sowore isn't uncultured, he's ACTIVE! HE'S VIBRANT! DON'T BE SLOW LIKE BUHARI. DON'T FORGET YOUR YOUTH BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS SLOW AROUND YOU. SPEAK UP! YOU DESERVE MORE THAN YOU HAVE RIGHT NOW. DON'T SETTLE FOR LESS! IT'S A REVOLUTION MY BROTHER. Vote Sowore and chop life.

Kellibae:
Oga he is arrogant, u don't do campaign by insulting people who are old enough to be ur grandpas.
This is a presidential depend not some gathering of touts for throwing tantrums
Have u ever listened to him talking?
He lacks manners and composure
No sane person will vote such a man a president else he will embarrass us outside by insulting other presidents

Someone is speaking up for you and you're there behind your android phone having fun typing whatever. Do you think he enjoys saying what he says? I'm very sure that he has been threatened severally for speaking the truth about our politicians and you are there saying nonsense. Hello, you and your elderly president embarrass us everyday already by claiming to be the giant of Africa yet white people troop in to put your dead soldiers on their TV to garner views. Your politicians aggressively loot money in high amounts but you're dragging with someone who's exercising his freedom of speech.
I know it would be difficult to change your rigid mind cos you're already bent on hating him(since he doesn't have a single stain on him but you still blind to see)so go look up his interview with Nigeria's minister of information on YouTube. It was basically Angel v Devil debate. Watch the full video please. Spread the word. It's a revolution. Nigeria is a beautifully blessed country. Na small thing to make everything better. It takes you n me.

Doilooklikeicare:
if we are to say d truth, dis guy is d solution 2 d problem of dis country, not those old fulanis

He's easily the best candidate for the job. So good that he could even be the messiah Nigeria needs. It's almost unbelievable that there's someone like him available and I'm just really happy that he pushes hard even when all odds are against him.
The truth is Nigeria is very corrupt, my friend. Corruption has eaten deep and blinded us all that even the suffering Nigerians cannot identify the light at the end of the tunnel anymore. Truly is a shame. A country with so much potential. What we could become...

tesppidd:
They say Ronaldo is a great goal scorer,

But Ronaldo has about 550 goals in about 750 appearances.
Messi has about 535 goals in only about 600 appearances.

Proves that in terms of goal scoring; Messi>>>Ronaldo.


Also Messi is competing with the likes of Modric, Kroos and Iniesta for the world's best playmaker.

Messi has far more assists.
Messi is a better passer.
Messi is a play maker.


Seriously if you think that Ronaldo is anywhere as good as Messi then you are a big idiiot.
Seriously you are!

The number of ballon dor's won has done a great disservice to this debate.

The whole Messi versus Ronaldo thing is a big Scam!!

The fact is only people who are not tactical about football mentally and with their foot would think Ronaldo is better than Messi. True footballers that have played 11 a side on a good football pitch (not those that cause the football to turn out to be clash of Titans, Sky rocketing the ball anyhow) would understand that what Messi and Barcelona does is unreal. The best part is he(Messi) consistently does this, making him a god.

Take away Ronaldo's tap ins and you have a consistent red card collector who exhibits aggressive behaviours regularly.
