What Fubara did there was acknowledge all the other governors who were handpicked and mentored into position by Tinubu

They are all part of Tinubus legacy

Baba u don dey renovate speeches of PDP members again ni?

Addressing a crowd that came to witness the event, Fubara recalled how Lagos State was developed, adding that former governors of the state, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, his successor, Babatunde Fashola, Akinwunmi Ambode, and the incumbent governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, developed the South-West state.

He explained that the good work of Governor Wike in Rivers State could only be sustained through another offspring of the PDP in the state.

At least Fubara was objective enough to have acknowledged all the governors and did not just say "Tinubu built Lagos" like most Tinubu's supporters claim online.

I need to sue the commissioner that allowed 1 week mid term break I saw hell last week

My friend will u leave commissioner alone ! When u dey "mekwe" in the oza room, shebi u did not call commissioner that year

Fire incident at Mikano office , Adeola Odeku, Victoria Island. The guy interviewed by Punch newspaper in the Video claims the recent commissioning of new fire fighting equipment by Sanwoolu was just for the camera cos there's a fire station at Oniru,(within the same Victoria Island) and those fire trucks were nowhere to be found at the scene till they put out the fire by themselves.

We must learn a lesson

Seeing multiple blogs report Davido's son dead is saddening even though the family is yet to react to the reports ( understandably so), one can only pray for the family to stay strong in this trying period.

That being said, I think I agree with GloriousGbola on the fact that Nigerians (and in particular Nigerian celebrities) do not learn from the experience of others. One would think our celebrities would've learnt from Dbanj's case and.would have a safe home where kids are not exposed to something like an open swimming pool.

It will not be surprising if all celebrities who show concern during this period go back home and still not do anything to forestall such occurrence in their home. Kids will always be kids, no matter how u try to chaperone them domestic accidents will still happen (but it shouldn't be domestic accident that are preventable.)

I pity every domestic staff and minder in the residence as at the time of the incident. Some of them will rot in the cell for this unfortunate incident.( I read on a blog that they've arrested people in the house as at the time of the incident.) That kind case na to just dey beg God to comfort the family quickly so dem go order Ur release after taking their loss in good faith.

Good! and i hope you will not have issues with the same moniker or other monikers when they pick Drogba ahead of Henry?

Drogba was also a good player but in my estimation those two(Etoo and Henry) were far ahead of him.

popizaino:
@bluerayd.ick
@Roland.17

I don't have any issues with anybody picking Etoo over Henry, they were both good players in their own right and they enjoyed success at different top levels they played.

It's a matter of preference.

Theflint1:
Lol...and Tinubu was there for 48hrs, na so.

Raumdeuter knows these things, he knows Tinubu walked in in the evening before the election proper, but he will just turning amala till the thing smooth

Ellexy:

One thing I've noticed about politicians is they always make use of every opportunity to their own advantage.

If u remember Tinubu was at Obasanjo's and shortly afterwards it was being peddled in the media ( which of course has his hands in it) that he has mended fences with Obj and all. U know Obj had to come out to give his own version of what the visit was all about and what they discussed.

He was Akure yesterday and this has resurfaced today.

Politicians make use of these opportunities ; to some common on the street he believes Obj had endorsed him and now the whole Yorubas under aegis of Afenifere has endorsed him as well. The common does not know when the aforementioned came out to issue disclaimer days after ; all he knows is Tinubu has been endorsed by all those that matter.

These things are not taught in school, politicians learn it on the job and they use it for their political gain just like Tinubu is doing. ( It works for people who have the media at their grip)

Anybody still thinking Buhari has done well in the area of security should watch this video

https://www.instagram.com/reel/CkYTHQEAgqn/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

One of the students kidnapped last week on Lagos-Ibadan expressway just returned home after their SUG negotiated 2 million each for the ransom while DSS and police still dey promise investigation is still going on.

Just look at the entire community coming out in the dead of the night to welcome her. Imagine the whole community would've been thrown into mourning if something had happened to her while in captivity.

raumdeuter:
So you are saying its a momentary stress that subsided later? Then whats the big deal in being stressed for a few minutes and regaining strength after especially given that the convention went on for almost 48hrs

U missed this one. This amala no turn well

liveLongNprospa:
I remember the video... Buhari strong pass Tinuke

Na that day I Don know say we Don enter am, make Bubu dey get more power inside his hands more than Emilokan

raumdeuter:
How many people were holding the flag in the picture?

We are saying the same thing na

When I watched it on my TV it was stress that kept making his hands drop that even Buhari adọrùnbọ̀ had to give helping hand..... But when they took this pishure the stress has subsided

raumdeuter:
Thats the same thing with people of that age. Same thing Joe Biden does regularly and was still elected president of the biggest Democracy in the world

Still picture vs Video wey I watch live on Arise TV for my parlor.

U do well Ẹ̀gbọ́n.

WTF is this?

U just made me imagine Tinubu being propped up like that.

sod09:
But not in Europe na
We can't be paying him for nothing

Yes o, let them pay him for nothing. By virtue of his contract he will always get paid . We are not the club's accountant that already prepared the financial account (which already budgeted for his salary), instead we are fans interested in the success of the club irrespective of who is playing.

If Cedric was doing better I would've considered maybe he was being unfairly treated, but since he's not; I support the decision of the coaching crew to continually feature those ahead of him till they themselves mess up.

Another man will use prickkk to console his wife

raumdeuter:
Which health? The same Tinubu that has made at least 4 public appearance in the last 7 days

Maybe na you dey pack the excrement to know

I'm guessing it's stress that made him unable to hold the flag upright after his victory at the primaries.

As in stress makes him blank out for seconds in the middle of a speech/presentation nowadays.

So how do you propose LASG clamps down on them?

If the government wants to put an end to their Menace , it’s possible .

Growing up my old man used to tell me about “welfare services”/juvenile homes where parents and guardians take their delinquent kids to . Some children already displaying recalcitrant behaviors are taken there and some of them get reformed . I believe having more welfare homes wouldn’t be a bad idea to reform the young and promising hooligans .

Then government needs to build farm settlements in areas like Epe, Ibeju, Badagry, outskirts of Ikorodu , etc where those sentenced by mobile courts can be sent to in order to engage in productive activities like farming , producing palm oil , turning farm produce to other useful products , etc. All those boys they parade for stealing in traffic should be sent there .

Let the government make thuggery and agberoism less attractive to new entrants . I’ve been listening to jingles on radio where the state government warns that those involved in jungle justice , those who supply tyre & petrol for burning thieves , those who are bystanders and those who watch jungle justice happen are all criminals and will be dealt with by the long arm of the law. Let us have same for agberoism.

I propose the government have recognized parks and garages chairmen whose underlinings are duly registered and traceable and have them collect the official ₦800 on behalf of the government ( of course they would get renumerated either by Commision or salary). Then let any other person caught parading themselves as toll collectors be dealt with by the long arms of the law.

I'm saying this because I've seen scenarios where Lagos state goverment can actually act if they want to. Lagos state government has phased out bikes in some LGA's in Lagos and it's being strictly adhered. Before one could just get a bike from obalende to quickly rush go do interview at V.I during breaks and be back. Today there's nothing like that ; those Okada men are out of business and everybody has moved on.

The government should then go all out to treat the 4ck up of any ex-tout that forments trouble. They did it with ọmọ onílé's and even had the house of assembly put a Law in place for that; they can do same for agberoism.

Lagos shouldn't be in competition with Anambra for headquarters of Agberoism like Ẹ̀gbọ́n Dayo is making it to seem with those Anambra receipts he always brandishes ; instead Lagos should continue to be the center of excellence where Agberoism should not be celebrated as the only solution to teeming unemployed youth population explosion.

All those Royal father things na format. All the jazz wey dem say Obas dey get yet dem dey go comot cap for RCCG

No be Wike dey yab one of the so called royal fathers abi Oba of Iwo sef no be royal father

Na why Fulani herdsmen/kidnappers dey drop kings anyhow na .

Dollar is now 803/$

I thought u earn in dollars , already a millionaire in dollars and was looking forward to be a billionaire in dollars if the naira continues to slump against the dollar .

What changed ?

Spy360:
Cedric is leaving by the end of the season. He has been displaced and is third choice on both fullback position.

Sod09 no just like Arteta and he won’t spare any chance to take hammer Arteta

Even the Cedric in question, if u look at him on the bench u will understand the fact that he has accepted his fate ; the right back is between White and Tomiyasu while the Left back is between Zinchenko and Tierney. Cedric knows all the 4 of them have enjoyed massive success playing those roles both in the league and cup competitions. Obviously na find him level remain .

obainojazz:
I witnessed how they dragged one bus driver to their “oga”
See as that one was slapping him and told him to kneel down

At that point na to beg remain , cos even if u report to police nothing will happen. The parks chairmen regularly send money to the DPO's and area commanders in territory , so police don't do much when their matters are reported

obainojazz:
Your receipts are showing different transport means from haulage to shuttle

When I schooled in NAU… You board a boss from school gate and they pay the guys there… they don’t pay again till they reach their destination

Usually they pay equivalent of two seats, so if they loading 100 per seat, they pay 200

Now if it were Lagos, you’ll see agbero jumping car 5 mins to your journey to collect their own share

In the same distance, agbero don jump your car 5 times… I’ve stayed in Ibadan and it’s not even that bad

You people abroad have lost touch with what goes on in Nigeria, it might have been good your days but it’s worse now.

Visit Lagos one day and jump danfo

The bold is exactly what I feel too, they only read about what makes the news. Those of us that still experience these things on a regualr know what we are saying.

If u are driving from work with two of ur colleagues in the car and let's say u decide to pick ur wife and a friend at a major bus stop like Iyana Oworo where they are already waiting for u; don't be surprised the moment u park to pick them agbero's will walk to ur car and ask u for money. It will take serious explanation in Yoruba and a friendly tone from u before they will allow u go without paying a dime. They automatically assume u picked "their passenger" at their "tarmac" and u must pay. You can then imagine what commercial drivers face if u as a private car owner has to go through that

nihilistjnr:
Bruh the inefficiencies in the system are by design because that's the only way to provide some sort of income to the underclass in a country that produces nothing, and whose economy is entirely based on massive corruption, political patronage, drug running, and a struggling service industry.

LASG did not create thugs. They are just pacifying them. Ibime has already told you what the alternative is - it's either banditry, kidnapping or militancy.

Look, if Nigeria dared to operate as even half efficient country, there would be massive societal breakdown.

Go to any airport in Lagos and see the amount of people 'working there - from the one selling you face mask to the one telling you where to park, from the one selling trolley ticket to the one whose job Is to push trolley, from the airport police at the door to tne customs and immigration people loitering around - then go to almost any airport in say Europe or Yankee and compare, you will see that most of these jobs only exist so that people are prevented from completely starving to death.

These inefficiencies are social palliatives in a dysfunctional ultra-capitalist society like Nigeria with little social welfare programmes. You need to accept if for what it is

You are not getting my point, or will I say u deliberately refusing to see the merit in my argument. I mean u just referred to people hustling at the airport which by me is okay considering the fact that they are engaging in legal and productive activities to put food on their table.

We are talking of touts who do absolute noting other than smoking weed and forcefully collecting money that is not going into the government's coffers. The official rate per motorist is N800 daily. I'm not against the government collecting taxes (cos we all know that is what needed to run the government), but then having people who are too lazy to work robbing genuine hustlers of sizeable part of their income is what I will never support.

You people are far away and not in tune with the current realities on ground . In places like Lagos island where genuine people go to hustle and sell their wares, these guys do all sorts; they close people's shops, beat them up and even have those they perceived to be stubborn locked up. If ur concern is that there will be anarchy if government goes against them, then I wonder what u will term what is already happening. At least we saw what happened at Alaba 2 weeks ago

Theflint1:
Well Yoruba's have always been liberal with religion, so not much surprises here, although I think these guys are just trying to have their cake and eat it...if you can't meet with the religious demands that come with the title, why accept it at all?

Personally I believe it's hypocrisy practising two different religions ( Traditional religion and Christianity /Islam). A king can be at peace with all the different religion faithfuls, but he should always be true to his traditional religion which makes him the custodian of the people's cultures and traditions

sod09:
Even lastma they set trap for drivers just to extort them

That one na normal thing na.

Theflint1:
Mhen, when I heard the part of them paying as much as 3K a day fixed, minus other small small collections o, it had be shook. Lagos is one massive crime scene, you see these agbero's demanding money from drivers like it's their right and in your mind you be like if your eye dey transport money like this, why not enter road and make the money yourself? It's crazy that till today Lagos has still not been able to come up with a centralized tax collection system for commercial vehicle riders in the state...well maybe the chaos na by design sha.

Of course, it's by design. They are probably wondering what they will do with the monster they created if they should put an end to thuggery system of tax collection

While growing up I do know traditional rulers in Yoruba land are not allowed to to show their bare head from the day they assume the throne. Even in religious houses like church and mosque, they are expected to either have a small skull cap on or their crown.

It seems much have changed in these modern times. I saw pictures from RCCG's recent conference for Oba's and I was confused. At best I'm hoping these men who have their heads not covered are chiefs and not kings in the actual sense of it sha

sod09:
Quick question that money collected is for what
The annoying thing is these bastards are so entitled you will hear owo mi da like his father is the one that give the driver motor

The money is for them and their numerous gf's ; the government is supposed to get only ₦800 daily per motorist.

Recently I witnessed a driver who loaded ₦400 per passenger in a 14-passenger bus pay ₦2,000 out of the total ₦5,600 he collected. And he hasn't even bought fuel o.

Below is what the drivers are complaining about ( which should actually make sense to any reasonable person)

Itsrm:
This brings me to the argument we had the other day when you guys were manufacturing numbers from thin air showing how commercial bus drivers are hitting it big.

Till you actually have to do the driving you will never understand how difficult it is to properly maintain the vehicles from what is left after all expenses.

Nobody says it's easy, but my point that day was that those drivers being aware of the so many expenses pegged to their income still keep multiple girlfriends(whom they will surely lose part of their meagre income to) , play sport betting and lotto, spend much money on booze, etc which all together makes it impossible for them to maintain their vehicle
