Oga Mind yaself, Go hail the Odogwu doing the firing ... E no Easy

Same thing I was going to say; all these extra suggestions like playing gospel messages at high volume are unnecessary. Just talk to him man to man, starting off by subtle hailing. The next time their sex is getting too loud, somewhere in his heart, He would have a rethink, and you save yourself from having an unnecessary frosty relationship with your co-tenant.

Jalinspy:
Oba palliative and urchins are tribal bigots still living lives of stone age. They reason with their belly just like fani kayode. They don't care what future beholds for their children. I am voting Obi because through him, 80-90% government illegalities in nigeria will stop. Don't you ever think that Obi and Datti are soft for the job. Steal £1 in their regime, na maximum kiri kiri go get you. My generation coming will be proud of what we achieved through Obi/Datti.

VOTE WISELY

Sounds familiar . . . oh yeah, Buhari in 2015.

G00DHardDick:


He didn't son. He simply brought another style of campaign that has never been seen in Nigeria. Dude is busy meeting the voters directly, do you know how joyful those traders there would feel seeing a presidential candidate coming in person to meet them?

Tinubu and Atiku can never try such! They rather meet with Big men in that State or meet up with the people in a stadium and you dare not go close to them. This is exactly why obi is different from them all.

1. Computer village is always very crowded . . . virtually impossible to dri e through there. Its like me driving through Balogun market in an open motorcade to show my popularity . . . it doesnt make any sense.

2. Computer Village has a whole lot of Igbo people, who as expected support Peter Obi, so I'm not sure where your wild optimism comes from.

Emmyxclusive:
Banks and other cooperate organizations rent and pay huge amount for it, eg part of benue house in Abuja is rented by Taj bank

I get your point, but should a state be into building commercial buildings for rent, or figuring out ways to improve it's local economy, and standard of living?

LordviccoDaGuru:
Some people will get high BP tonight ooo Lawan Is Coming. Lawan Is a strong public, Lawan served Buhari whole heartedly and arroved all Buhari's request. He didn't know a pay day for him like this will come. Lawan was speechless at the Supreme Court today. His good works for Buhari fought for him. With God all things are possible. Any evil agenda towards Buhari God has been using Lawan to stop them.

I'm honestly not sure how I feel about a Man who did not contest the primaries being made the candidate. I'm neither for or against any party, but I worry about the impact of a flawed judiciary not even on democracy but on regular folks who have no one.

Naira20:
Bad belle that a houseboy is destroying Lagos and accountable to a thief?
Ambode would have done 20times what you are seeing But because he refused to be a houseboy, Tinubu removed him.

Lagos deserves more.
We have seen better options.
Sanwo-olu must go

Again not hating, but I do recall a certain 'Visionscape' that Ambode brought from Dubai to replace LAWMA, but ended up depending on LAWMA to fulfil it's waste management duties. Visionscape failed, and left Lagos State on hook for it's 27b bond.

Searchingvictor:
OK. 20 billion might be budgeted like that and 4 billion used for the project

Not trying to justify anything here, but at the very least we see stuff being built and commissioned on almost a monthly basis here from Lagos, when last did we hear from Abia, Anambra, Enugu, Cross River, Benue, Bayelsa, Imo, Plateau, Kogi, Delta etc? I mean Delta within the last 6 months has borrowed over NGN300b, and nobody can point to anything worthwhile coming out of that loan, or the several billions in allocations they have gotten in the past 4 years.

Kobonaire4:


At least Obi invested in a industry. That generates jobs and income

Tinubu invested in tax collection

( i am neither a obidient or tinubuite so don't go there)

Really hate to do this, but are we seriously considering an investment into a brewery that has more than halved in value with a Deep Sea Port, and possibly the largest Free Trade Zone in West Africa?

CodeTemplar:
Stupid leaders. They allow one man come over from Kano to own all the juicy multi billion dollar industries that's in their state. The money he is using also came from same Ogun state.

So you propose they leave their states bare, or in other words cut their nose to spite their face?

I blame all the past leaders of this country for the steep decline in the quality of education.

Okiton:

omu our oyel make una come see where una oil money de goooooo

it must interest una to know that all oil companies operating in the Niger delta region are paying taxes to Lagos state government, they as well recruit from there. the likes of Exxon Mobil, Total Energies, Chevron, Addax Oil and Agip companies of are busy exploring oil in the south are paying their taxes to Lagos state government. they damage your lungs, land and waterways with toxic chemicals, leave you living in penury in slum and all you busy saying is our oyel, brothers and sisters receive sense now and stop supporting evil people and worst government who had taken you thousand kilometers backward. vote Labour Party, vote OBI DATTI to redeem your soul from impending doom catalyze by the terrorist behind by the emiloko evil FULANI agenda. Bear in mind that one of the presidential contestants is mad asin mad ooooooo, so when voting vote wisely

You realize that all corporate taxes are paid to the FG?

KosiGee:

How can a final year student and someone just about to graduate not know the spelling of papa, popsy or pupsy and how did she not see or spot the error on the shirt he was wearing and advertising? That was supposed to be the spelling of her private part! How could she not spot that?

In fairness to her, the school used 'fowl' in place of 'foul' in their public statement . . .

MrEverest:


The worst heist ever in the history of Africa is going on in Lagos but no one is paying attention to it. Lagos is being raped from 1999 till date and I will explain.

Lagos State is actually richer than Rivers and Akwa Ibom combined! Yet governors in Rivers and Akwa Ibom have built vast numbers of bridges, airports, stadiums, flyovers, airlines, hospitals, etc etc. But same can't be said of Lagos!

The only stadium built in Lagos since 1999 i.e. 24 years now is Teslim Balogun stadium. That stadium is no where comparable to Uyo's Nest of Champions that is world class! Teslim Balogun can only be compared to the ones built in Ikot Ekpene or Eket. Shame!

Akwa Ibom has an airline established by the state government but Lagos that claims to be richer than Ghana, Rwanda and Senegal combined can't even boast of any!

Millions of Lagosians are suffering and wasting vast man hours daily on traffic jams yet aside Ikoyi link bridge there is no significant bridges, flyovers or super highways added to the ones left by federal government. Everyday we see Wike commissioning large number of bridges, flyovers and roads. Same with Akwa Ibom and even Kano but Lagos that needs it most nothing is happening.

Even highbrow areas in Lagos such as VI, Ikoyi and even Banana island still have open gutters everywhere! No pipe borne water in Lagos! Many either dig well or drink salty water from boreholes in 2023!

If you observe carefully, you will notice how these rogues keep hyping private sector investments like Dangote refinery, Lekki port, etc as their achievement. They arrogantly claim Lagos organic growth as their achievement while embezzling all the funds meant to be used in developing Lagos.

Nigerians are not ready to ask this rogue claiming to be Lagos landlord what he is doing with all the trillions being generated in Lagos. Today, the old criminal is using those stolen funds in threatening the rest of Nigeria in the name of Emi lokan.

Who is going to bring this old rogue called BAT to answer for his crimes or is he now bigger than the whole country??!!

Speaking from an objective viewpoint, Lagos might be very wealthy indeed, but it has far more to cater for than both Rivers and Akwa Ibom.

For starters, I don't understand how stadiums have become a marker for development; the two stadiums in Lagos, how often are they utilized for anything outside of holy-ghost conventions and political rallies? Likewise bridges: unless there is a clear need for a bridge, why should it even be cited as judicious use of public resources? If you want to see the most useless bridges in the South West, go to Abeokuta in Ogun state where the main road itself barely sees any action talk less of the bridge. Just because we don't announce a public holiday in Lagos to announce new bridges when they are completed does not mean we do not have a good number of them that have been constructed in the past few years even - we just don't care for them.

So, what are the big problems a city like Lagos should be working hard to fix?

Ecological problems: For Kids who are too young to remember this, the entirety of Victoria Island, especially Ahmadu Bello road and environs were at real risk of being submerged by the Atlantic - a problem not very dissimilar to the erosion problems in Peter Obi's Anambra, but perhaps on a grander scale. For all of hullabaloo about Eko Atlantic, real estate value aside, it solved a very serious problem.

Mass Transportation: Before the BRT scheme we all like to shit on now, there were a lot of molues, and some old 'Lagos Transit' buses that perhaps even compounded transportation problems in Lagos. I agree that the BRT buses are currently functioning at over-capacity right now due to the sheer volume of passengers they serve, but as someone who has used the system for a decade, its a major relief. I have seen people queue for pretty long for the BRT than go and jump danfos that are ready to move within a couple of minutes. The light rail hopefully becomes an effective component to the mass transportation system.

BTW, Lagos just got approval for its own Airport, and best believe it would not be the type that closes for 4pm like a lot of thosee mush-room operations a few states in the provinces have set up.

Waste Management: Growing up in Lagos in the late 80s, and early 90s, I remember that we all disposed our waste by handing them to itinerant cart-pushers who would go an d dump them at huge refuse dumps 'ile ile' within residential areas. A lot of these refuse dumps were often right by major streets / roads, and from time to time would get burnt with the smoke and pollution of heavy metals seeping into even homes many kilometers away. There was literally no provision for sweeping highways . . . The LAWMA system which worked great especially under Fashola has not fully recovered from that Visionscape nonsense that Ambode did, but compared to where Lagos was in 1999 . . . haba.

Telecommunications: A lot of people are not aware, but Lagos is perhaps the only state in Nigeria that is building its own fibre-optic network for all ISPs to share load on, as opposed to each one simply digging up the roads whenever they need to either upgrade or maintain their own network. If you have been paying close attention especially in the Ikeja and Agege axis, you would have seen white poles with mounted CCTV systems both for capturing traffic infractions, and providing real-time footage of the environment. I dare Mr Peter Obi, or Ifeanyi Okowa to show us anything similar in their states.

Traffic Management: As reviled as LAWMA is (and rightly so for their Officers' corruption), a lot of car owners would rue the day that LAWMA leaves Lagos roads. I have seen those guys on the roads as late as 11pm on days traffic gets really bad. Whenever I head out in the morning, I'm tuned to Traffic radio (another AC/APC achievement) to understand what traffic looks like (shout-out to LASTMA Temitope), and on uncountable times, I have seen the LASTMA people with their cranes, and towing vehicles clearing the roads of major accidents as early as 5:30am in the morning. BTW, if you have a city where the rest of Nigeria troops into daily to find their daily bread, how on earth would it not be choked? Our traffic sufferings in Lagos are a direct result of the incompetence of the governors of the other states in the federation!

Education: Saying APC did not build schools in Lagos is a bare-faced lies; even today, you can literally point at the school prototypes that Tinubu built like the one on Lateef Jakande, and the one opposite Omole 1 - those structures are still standing till this day.
Innovations like The Office of the Public Defender, small claims courts, ADR forums specialized offices to manage domestic violence and child abuse etc, legislations on inheritance, child support etc all started in Lagos. I hear a lot about how PO invested in his family owned brewery, and saved money, but for non-infrastructure type/ social innovations, what has He done? I have a grouse with LASU though, cos I feel way more should have been done for LASU, but has the state done well in education overall? Yes.

Health: You can insult our health infrastructure ooo, but we know of a lot of our brothers from the east that bring their parents all the way to Lagos to access care in our hospitals.

Private-Public Partnerships: I recall a time I was in a session on infrastructure private equity, and a brother from across the Niger asked why the Facilitator's firm wasn't interested in investing in the East, the gentleman blew a fuse and explained that the legislative terrain outside Lagos was far too unpredictable, and lazy, citing common real estate projects they had invested in that had hit a brickwall in a place like Rivers cos the Governor has a short fuse, and a large ego.

Shit on PPP, but remember that Donald Duke conceived Tinapa at the same time that Tinubu conceived LFTZ - well, we all see how both have turned out?

I could go on and on, but you get the picture?

OboOlora:
Thank God for Ambode for bringing our attention to Sanwoolus schizophrenic episodes and drug addiction. Now he’s been to rehab and back out and has been taking his antipsychotic medicines supervised by his Dr wife and he can now follow through on the ideas of innovative commissioners in his administration

From your lips to God's ears, on behalf of your children. Amin.

Onyiridike:

Tinubu is fighting his last fight to ensure that all SW states are in his pocket.
The Yoruba emperor once boasted " When I sleep, Yoruba land goes to sleep and when I wake, Yoruba land is awake".
A region with intellectuals and prominent people is being controlled by a demented old drug Lord.

When did Tinubu say this?

kingsways:
Countries don't just wake up redesign their currency because it involves a significant cost

Whilst reasons for redesign are numerous; in the case of Nigeria, Corruption is pandemic and a big problem. Corrupt and wicked Nigerians have stocked large amounts of cash outside the official financial system

One of aims of the current redesign exercise in Nigeria is obviously to tackle the issue of corruption by corrupt people who settle their corruption activities in cash

To extend the deadline will give these rogues more time to come up with ways to circumvent the redesign and therefore defeat the aim of the exercise.

Interesting you should mention this; India tried something similar a few years ago, and it ended up being a resounding failure. The people who suffered the most were poor people, and none of the problems the government was trying to solve went away.

You are celebrating a federal train station in Lagos while Anambra has just built an international airport? Anambra no be ur mate abeg

Has the airport significantly turned around the fortunes of Anambra compared to a -gasp ' mere Free Trade Zone, and the deepest Sea-Port in West Africa?

Don't worry, when we are done with our new airport in Lekki, we would have this conversation again.

COMPAQ:


Stop hanging on to the Nigeria of 1970. Nigeria of today cannot afford bullet trains. Not every country in Europe has bullet train. America has no bullet train, UK has no proper bullet train (high speed, yes, bullet no). I have taken train from London to Manchester and London to Bournemouth and also Lagos to Ibadan. While I would say the UK one was a bit more modern than the Lagos Ibadan train, but not by a whole lot. However, ours was equally as comfortable, but much slower.

Even if corruption in Nigeria were to be zero, Nigeria is still a relatively poor country by per capita standards. Yes, we would get a lot more done, but not to the extent of bullet trains. Its easy to compare Nigeria to Kuwait, UAE, Saudi etc but look at the population difference alone!! Nigeria is 220mln, UAE is 10mln while Kuwait is 3mln. That means Nigeria is 22times more populous than UAE. And both of them produce more oil than we do.

That is like comparing a man with salary of 500k a month with 3 kids and another man with same N500k a month with 66kids!!!

This false sense of "we are a rich country" is what continues to keep Nigeria poor as we continue to subsidize petrol. What Nigeria could do in terms of subsidy in 1980 with population of 70mln and maybe 5mln cars on the roads cannot be the same in 2023 with 220mln people and maybe 30mln cars on the roads!!

We have to face up to our current reality and adjust our ways of managing this economy!!

You forgot to mention that even our cost of producing oil is about $30 per barrel compared to Saudi Arabia's $3 per barrel. Nigeria is a poor country - we have just refused to accept that fact.

OriOko88:

Shut up. The advanced world trains fly underground. Go read up about metro line.

This advanced world, how much is their GDP, how much is Lagos'? Countries that qualify as 'advanced' in this world are barely close to 25 out of close to 200 countries in the world.

Asides from the novelty factor of the trains being underground, are we not inching towards achieving the same objective? If we build undergrounds today - asides from the fact that they are way more expensive, are we culturally ready for such?

Before we run, we must first walk.

Why your own fada no Condemn am?

Abii is he not man enough to contest for President?

We are waiting for your father to go first.

Anndrew:
yorubas are the problem in Nigeria..that a fact...if i lie,check the candidancy in peter obi as presidential candidate...e no go pass tribalism,ipob and biafra war...make nigeria break,make everybody answer in papa name...lagos,lagos,lagos..bla bla ba lu.....most cawordly and tribalism region in nigeria,give it yoruba...na them be the enemies of nigeria...hidding under the infleuence of hausa and fulani region...ona face no show,una shoe no shine..

Yorubas are the problem of the country, yet history shows that Igbos have always sneakily wanted to dominate the rest of the country. Nnamdi Azikwe - an Igbo is the reason there is no secession clause in our constitution at independence, cos He was trying to become Governor of Lagos.

Igbos plotted the first coup in this country, killed the leaders of the other major tribes, and spared all of their's, thus forever altering the history of this country, yet Yorubas are the problem of Nigeria.

Igbos destroyed the thriving regional system to centralize control after that first coup cos they wanted to be in charge? Yet Yorubas are the problem of this country.

The counter-coup of the North was in response to Ironsi's failure to punish the coup-plotters, thus giving an impression of ethnic sentiments - yet its the fault of Yorubas.

When Ojukwu started his civil war, Yorubas just dey look am, until He plotted to attack the western region . . . no be us kill Igbos for North, yet Yorubas are the problem.

Your SS neighbours took over all of your properties during the civil war, while in the SW, we looked after them, and even remitted accrued rent after the war was over . . . this is not mere hear-say - the evidenc is there. Yet guess who is the problem - yeah Yorubas.

The god and Lord Almighty of Biafra - Nnamdi Kanu insults Yorubas and Hausa/Fulani for years, and calls them dogs, pedophiles etc. and calls for our churches (RCCG, Deeper Life) to be burnt down, and our city attacked, but guess who is the problem? Yorubas.

Nnamdi Kanu openly celebrated jail breaks in the SE, that led to the proliferation of dangerous criminals that have made many of you avoid your ancestral stead, na Yoruba cause that one too?

Better take responsibility for your own destiny before your hate for yorubas makes you drown yourself in Ezu river. And if by chance Bola Tinubu wins this election, I hope you lot don't have catatonic shock enmasse - I no wan hear say people dey get cardiac arrest by the dozen.

Anndrew:
and yes,yorubas are the most cowardly region that cant do without the muddy region but hide behind them to claim success at their expenses...no be today the muddy region want to break or splits out..oya,let them go..No,let them control their resources,No..u guys are slave under the hausa and fulani region..If Nigeria should break or splits today,the muddy region will be far greater and advance than the oduduwa nation will ever dream to be...If e sure for una,.break out...

Have Igbo legislators moved a motion for secession and been denied? When Awolowo and Ahmadu Bello wanted to insert a secession clause at the point of independence, Azikwe, an Igbo man refused. When all regions ran independently, Aguiyi Ironsi and Ben Nwabueze - both Igbo Men - cancelled the unitary system, and centralized power in the federal government.

How can Igbos engineer the current system of government, refuse to plan for secession at the dawn of this country, refuse to raise the issue of secession at the Senate, and Federal HoR, champion the candidacy of a Peter Obi, and still claim they are being forced to remain in Nigeria?

grandstar:


You were to quick to judge FreeStuffsNG

If solar power provided as much savings as you suggested, why haven't many companies adapted it? Why haven't solar farms been built to service industrial estates or even residential estates?

I am always a firm believer in research before jumping to conclusion. Solar may provide power but its quite pricey

The preferred go to for power generation are coal, gas, dams and even nuclear power. They generate power cheaply.

Solar power and wind are much more expensive and that's why many countries provide subsidies to make them competitive.

Solar power might make some sense in residential homes because the space density compared to the building is a lot. For a bungalow, if solar panels cover the roof, it may take up 30% of the building. Also energy use in a residential property is low.

But for a skyscraper, the solar panels will cover a much lower space compared to the size of the building. Also, energy consumption is very high with air-conditioning on during office hours for instance. We are yet to discuss the laptops, lifts, escalators, photocopy machines and so on. They are constantly on.

The issue needS to be research

How much does one need to invest in ones home to generate 1 kilowatt of power for instance compared to what you pay PHCN?

The panels are laid on the side of the building . . .

I thought Nigerian feminists said oyinbo men are better than 'thrashy' Nigerian men?

Odidigboigbo:
She mentioned where she and the governor met. The simple question you should asked is that was the governor in the said location in the said year the woman mentioned. Calling the governor full name is not necessary, a lot of people do go with pseudo names. I have slept with a lot of girls that doesn't know my real name, the time I was flexing.

A quick google search would show you that in 1995 when she claimed she met the Governor, He was a Treasurer in a bank in Lagos.

Felabrity:
seen, corrected

Anyway there are 4 major contenders in the whole northwest and North East (the votes will be shared there
With 1. Atiku
2. Tinubu
3. Kwankwaso
4.Peter Obi

NC is between Atiku and Peter Obi

And 3 in the whole of South
1. Peter Obi
2. Atiku
3. Tinubu (Tinubu will only dominate core Yoruba states or villages)

NC that has Kwara, Kogi and Niger doesn't have Tinubu in the play?

In the NE and NW, where exactly would Obi make a mark? In NC, he would garner votes in Plateau, Benue and Taraba but not win those states. In the rest of NC, if He gets 10k+ votes in each of the remaining states, I would doff my hat.

Odidigboigbo:
That was the one he told you. He might have worked in a construction company before changing career. A lot people have done different types of jobs in their formative years which are not included in their CVs.
This accusation is simple and straightforward, Oga governor should come forward for DNA test, if it comes out negative; he will be exonerated and he can sue the lady and his son. Shikina

If you read carefully, the woman did not point directly at 'Babajide Sanwo-olu'; she is simply insistent that a 'Sanwo-olu' impregnated her. Is the Governor the only Sanwo-olu?

CallmeTrinity:
Why is he running from DNA test

I watched her interview

The question is simple , sanwo only where you in Delta state between 1994 and 1996?

Where you knocking this madam that period ?

Oga stop hiding behind immunity and submit for a DNA test period !

'Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu was the treasurer at former Lead Merchant Bank from 1994 to 1997 after which he moved to the United Bank for Africa as the head of foreign money market. He then proceeded to First Inland Bank, Plc (now First City Monument Bank) as a deputy general manager and divisional head.'

Sanwo-olu claims to have been working in Lead Merchant Bank as at 1994; the woman in turn claims she met him working in a construction company in 1995 . . . whose story do we now believe?
