For a so-called group to have the audacity to attack a military fortification multiple times. Doesn't that tell you how badly things have degenerated?

We are literally funding their operations with ransoms and rehabilitating terrorists that have killed Nigerian soldiers and citizens alike and you expect the Army to not be demoralized

It's really painful that people are going out of their way to defend this mess
Exactly! It's just sad

It seems this man has played himself and scored own-goal o. He just gave Sanwoolu free pass to bury his political career.

Remember Babatunde Gbadamosi the ADC governorship candidate at the last election in Lagos, he was at Funke Akindele's party.

If they prosecute and convict him, is that not an end to his political career?

This man show APC pepper during last Election pointing out the fraud that has gone on for over 10 years the Lagos - Badagry expressway had been under construction.

See how he played himself. Sanwoolu can just bury his political career by prosecuting and convicting him like they did Funke.

Boom! He will be ineligible to contest any election again in Nigeria except he gets Presidential pardon. He will be referred to as ex-convixt because of small party he attend ó grin

[color=royalblue] I've read it. So where are we shifting the goalpost to?

That the Nigerian army is competent and equipped but the Chadians are the reason why we still have Boko Haram till today?

Or is it the Chadian president that said BKH should be reformed and rehabilitated when apprehended?

What some of us are saying is with the current manpower and funding we have, we are doing so little to end the situation. And it's corruption that is our MAJOR problem, not Chad or Niger.

Below is the current manpower of Nigeria and Chad. Let me not even draw out the fundings yet. That will probably waste our time[/color]
Baba u get time o.

Me I kuku see the mention and couldn't be bothered to start doing back and forth on the boko haram issue since they said Buhari is doing just enough already. A president that decides to rehabilitate and release terrorists who killed soldiers says he wants the surviving soldiers to end terrorism, How?

He was talking about America, shebi we saw how Trump took out the Iranian general, àbí we didn't see how Obama streamed live the video op of Osama's assassination.

I don't even think most of these party people understand its the life of humans we are talking about here not goats of fowl. People dey die, the few killers wey Una catch una release dem....smh

Have you forgotten times when even Abuja wasnt safe?
When a day goes by without hearing bomb blasts?
When they hoisted flags and declaring caliphate?

Those era has gone and they only resort to hit and run like cowards.. if that isnt a positive, tell me what it is.

I keep referencing USA and Russia because it is yall GOATS.
Somalia, libya,Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq,. They have sent thousands of troops to these strongholds. Did they achieve their aim of going to these countries?

terrorism has been existent even before he assumed power.
If we re going to tow the blame line, that means we have to start the blame game way back to Obasanjo regime when the boko haram sect sprang up.

Russians and Americans has been in syria for years yet nothing to show for it.

Americans have their own share of terror also which is gang wars also.. maybe they should put an end to it first before we start giving them the glory.
Honestly, u are not doing a good job at trying to defend this present government on this matter at all. See you talking about America and Russia in Syria again when u are trying to defend Nigerian Government's inability to defeat Boko Haram; where is the correlation huh

You spoke glowingly about this present government driving boko haram to the outskirts of the town where they only resort to ovassional hit and run attacks, but facts on ground shows the terrorists have not even felt a new sheriff is in town as they kill soldiers for sport like they've been doing in the past.

Talking about blame game, This Buhari led FG had done enough blame game while playing the role of an opposition to previous government. They promised to render the terrorist vanquished within the shortest period of time, we are yet to see that happen. The budget for fighting the insurgency keeps on increasing, yet nothing to show for it.

These things are major issue for any responsible government and should not be what a special adviser will just write few lines of press release saying we are prosecuting the war against terror rightly while that is not the case.

many here who doesnt want to give any atom of credit to the Nigerian army needs to be reminded in the days of territorial declarations and caliphate establishment by the rebel groups.

How the military have pushed them into only hit and run past few months in the outskirts of mauduguri borders.
If that isnt a victory and positive.. then tell me a country that has totally anhiliated a terrorist group and sent them to oblivion.

Not even their mighty USA who is recently tryna negotiate with terrorists Talibanundecided
The reason why most of us would not join Buhari praise singers is because all we've heard from him is talks and talks and talks. Buhari was supposed to be an upgrade to whatever Jonathan had been doing in the past concerning Boko Haram, but unfortunately he is not.

In fact he's even shown he is a sympathizer with the Boko Haram cause going by his actions and Inactions in the recent past. ( I don't need to even start talking about his body language while he was still in the opposition which someone posted few days ago, or the eventual release back into the system of terrorist who killed and maimed soldiers)

Now u talked about Buhari led government pushing Boko Haram so hard against the wall that they only resort to hit and run. Well, I must say some of us are really alarmed as to how a terror group that has been so incapacitated can still kill as much as 5,598 people in the space of 4 years Buhari ruled for first term. These are not 5,598 already dead people with bombs hurled at their Graves, they are healthy living people killed by boko haram terrorists.

As seen in the screenshot below, not only has Buhari been unable to technically defeat the boko haram terrorists as he claimed in the past, his administration witnessed the birth of another terror gang; The herdsmen who killed 4,068 people in Buhari's first year in office.

These are facts, figures which should make one sad, should make a responsible leader shake down his military top hierarchy and call for immediate turnaround of situation of things. This should be what even supporters of the government should be having sleepless night over, not pointing at America negotiating with Taliban (As If Taliban is on American soil killing Yankees and Trump is clueless; doesnt know what to do with his service chiefs)

Conducting a research on that topic will not only be herculean but more importantly, dangerous and can lead to the death of the researcher if he wants true/ real data. The level of corruption in Nigeria which is buttressed by the situation in Bayelsa is despicable and without transparency you can not get real data to make a conclusion especially when the departments with the data know the purpose and consequence of such research.
I agree with you, the civil servants in the various departments and ministries are part of the problem too. Kai! A state that doesn't have the population of Alimosho LGA in Lagos, but gets nearly the same allocation as Lagos State and still remains underdeveloped. God dey o

Bayelsa own is something else.

What business does a governor there have with not paying salary? Just imagine. That state is supposed to be the best state in Nigeria. All there past leaders are supposed to be flogged.
I dont know what our academics are doing, that Bayelsa case is one badass research work some of our scholars can do a write-up/journal article on and publish. I mean someone needs to sit down gather as much statistics, analyze what the problem is (i.e is it the people or the leaders? Is it about getting too much allocation over and above what they actually need ? Is it the education level generally in the state or what?), recommend measures to tackle the identified problem in the interim and on a long term basis.

In the nearest future when I decide to cross to the academics, if this bayelsa case has not been examined and discussed extensively, I will do something of sort.

Although, Sanwo olu has fixed from Okoko to the Agbara bridge. It's very very motorable now.

The road is under construction currently, but it's more than 11 years now.


I stay there sometimes. If I want to leave for the island, I am already at the bus stop by 4 am(yes, you see buses and people then), or I drive out by 4:30am. I would be getting to Mile 2 by Quarter to 6, or later grin.

Leaving Badagry is not really the problem. It's returning at night that has headache. You can spend 2 hours just at Iyanaoba alone[/color]
Olboy u are the real MVP. Here I was wondering if everybody livong around that axis are traders whose source of livelihood revolves around that area because I can't imagine someone living there either driving or using public transport system to other parts of Lagos every day.

I can imagine that iyana-iba madness at night and even those useless boys at volks always trying to rob passerby of their belongings or breaking people's windshield in traffic. I nearly had a bitter experience there around 2013. Places like that is where SARS should have their command centre and be patrolling day and night, not disturbing normal people upandan the street of Lagos.

I respect your hustle o. E no easy plying that axis daily o

[color=royalblue]Lagos Badagry expressway nko? grin

Ambode forgot that it existed

I think Lagos Badagry expressway should break the record for the road that was constructed within the longest time

Since 2009, they have been constructing one road, yet e never reach Badagry roundabout grin[/color]
That road is just meant for current and future governors to cash out and chop their own grin

I spent 4 years in Lasu, graduated and observed the compulsory one year NYSC service year; I've worked for 5 years now and the road is still under construction. Isn't that wonderful grin

I was forced to attend a wedding at Agbara last year on behalf of the company because the bride's father is one of our directors. Kai! I see shege that day It took almost 5 hours to get to Agbara even after bypassing the normal volks/Okoko traffic o. Our vehicle was stuck in a bad portion of the road close to an hour, the driver was asking me to stay in the car he will drive out of of the pothole....blah blah. I just came down looked for these Dangote discuss with the driver and he pulled us out of the pothole for a ₦500.

From that point I told the driver to follow one-way once he sees others doing same cos that means there's another failed portion of the road ahead. That was the lesson I learnt on that road;once u see people following one way just join them don't ask questions grin

I just can't imagine how people living in those areas transport themselves to Lagos island or mainland daily o

Roland17:
If you follow my posts closely, you will note that I am not one to defend Nigerian politicians, but in this case, I will respectfully disagree with the embolden. Ambode worked wonders with road infrastructure in Lagos, particularly, the mainland. I visited home 2 years ago and to be honest, I was amazed at the number of roads/ bridges this man had constructed in such a short span. The more impressive thing was the quality of these roads!! Everyone I spoke with including Uber drivers, local chiefs/ landlords, market women acknowledged Ambode's strides even though they accepted he will not return for a 2nd term.
Lagos was dirtier than I had ever seen with refuse dumped along major roads and that was because of the politics that was being played with waste management so I did not really blame him. He may have failed in other areas but calling his tenure a disaster is not a true reflection of what I saw when I visited home. Again, I hold not party affiliations in Nigeria and could care less about any Nigerian politician.
You are right. Anybody saying is a total failure is just being economical with the truth.

Ambode may have failed in some aspects particularly the LAWMA/ visioncape issue about waste disposal, but believe me Ambode had his good sides too. While people may keep hammering on the road network he constructed in Epe saying he's just did that because that was his constituency, he did quite well in some other parts.

1. Ambode commisioned 21 road networks in Alimosho LGA in one day. These are not Audio roads, and these are not patch work currently being done by Sanwoolu. They are roads constructed from the scratch. I spent my early years in Alimosho, one of the bridges he constructed is the biggest thing that ever happened to the people of Aboru community. Since I was in primary school we've always heard of school children getting drowned in the Aboru canal once it rains, the old wooden bridge gets slippery and tens of students drown every rainy season. Not only did Ambode open up the area with a strong concrete Motorable bridge, he further constructed inner roads linking Abule-Egba, Ekoro and other parts.

From places like Ikola, Command, thanks to Ambode u will get to Cannanland Ota less than 45 minutes. A journey u might spend close to 4hours on a normal day. I also some these things were audio till I paid a friend a visit around AIT/Kola and all tru it was from one smooth road to the other. I was even angry those things didn't get the deserved media hype they should've gotten at the day.

2. Ambode's undoing was doing too much in one term. He was determined to work his ass off. He was busy working on Lagos -Abeokuta Expressway linking Iyana Ipaj and Oshodi at the same time Working on the Agege/ Pen Cinema flyover brigde. These two roads are alternatives. The people felt he was deliberately imposing hardship on them due to the traffic on the two routes, even though he thought he was doing the right thing to make them enjoy everything at once. Ambode was inexperienced and should've bidded his time.

He was doing so well that the 3 senators representing Lagos endorsed him for his hardwork as seen in the picture below.

Ambode was just a victim of his Party's internal politicking. Nothing more.

If anybody still believe Ambode is a failure, let him show us details of Tinubu's achievements in his first term when he was still receiving allocation before he had rift with Obasanjo and let's compare with Ambode's 4 years.

I guess I should have worded that better. Majority of the blue buses Ambode bought were “wasting” away for the most part of Ambode govt. The blue buses are not under the BRT scheme, they are under the Lagos Bus Service Limited (LSBL). In fact the blue buses don’t run on the BRT lanes.

Most of these buses were meant to run from the Terminals that were being built and only Ikeja Terminal was completed and even that was later pulled down by Ambode govt himself.
The bold part of Ur statement is incorrect. Do you live in Lagos? If stay on the mainland, I will advise you drive to the terminal once the lockdown is over and see the state of the terminal yourself.

What most people reported falsely online as the terminal being taken down after Buhari commissioned it is far from the truth. What most people don't know is this: The terminal was built on an expanse of land with provision made for a shopping mall like the one we have at Alausa. What was being done after that commissioning was the modifications to the mall. Go there today and you will see the terminal fully operation and Jara Mall beside it fully operational as well.

The Terminal is right there along with the mall on Simbiat Abiola way.

Maybe Ambode was wrong dabbling into so many projects at once, but I tell u even wasn't a disaster or total set-back like most party loyalists want to believe

From my posts you will know I hate activity forming, when there are real issues on the ground, e.g my approach to football, For an attacker, I don't care how you do it or what you do as long as you deliver goals or assists, Which was why I didnt like Okocha too, they will be beating Nigeria, Okocha will still be dribbling 4 people lose ball and chew gum or spitting

I don't care how you do things as long as you get things done. Some governors will spend 8yrs no single visible project on ground to see, No new initiative, In the Nigerian context, I don't even mind if you steal but do something for people, Ganduje is slowly coming into my good books and I am starting to overlook his dollar stolen

if for every 1billion stolen, they build a hospital, school, build bridges, etc. I won't have a problem. Think of any state in Nigeria, think of the allocations they have gotten since 1999 and compare what you have on ground

Even Pastors I don't mind them stealing or jets, but for every 50 congregation church which we have to deal with the noise and social inconvenience, build a borehole, for every 500 congregation church build a community hospital, for every 2,000 build a standard top class hospital.

It is sad, when you go back to a place you left 20yrs ago and the only difference would be more beer parlors, gambling kiosk, The road havent been upgraded, the schools are all falling, hospital no touch of improvement and you have had 5terms of LGA chairman, governor and president in those 20yrs
@ Ur third paragraph; that is the problem I have with a state like bayelsa.

I mean it may be excusable for someone like Ganduje who governs a state like Kano with about 44 Local Governments, but Thunder needs to fire all past and present governors of Bayelsa state.

Bayelsa has just 8 local governments,most of which are on water that doesn't require spending billions on road construction, yet the state is in a sorry state.

Imagine Bayelsa got almost the same allocation as Lagos in 2019 with a population of just 1.7million people o. If only the citizens will ask their governors what they do with all these allocations, instead of always shouting federal government is stealing their oil. In fact, each time I see southerners talking about northerners monopolizing their oil at newspaper stand, I always feel the urge to body-slam each and everyone of them John cena style. I just feel oh foolish southerners, who art bewitched thee?

Bros if u got an appointment letter prior to Ur assumption of duty, then u should see the modalities for termination of the employment contract. Most companies will require you to give 2 weeks notice before leaving while others peg theirs to a month. Kindly go tru Ur employment letter and see what is written there.

The fact is, no matter how bitter your experience was on the job, you will need to give them that notice in lieu or you forfeit your salary. I believe that’s what they are holding over you and there’s nothing you can do about it legally.

I will advise you be mindful of how you go about this your campaign against the company,Unless you are not going to mention them in your CV and future interviews. Believe it or not, your future employer ( especially in the banking industry) will send a request for reference of ur character to ur previous employers without your knowledge. Trust me, they take this serious and whatever those ones state in it decides how long you will stay on the job even when they’ve already confirmed you.

Just be careful and don’t let the anger you are experiencing presently reduce the chances of you landing a more rewarding job in the future
