Gossiphub: While Gov Sanwo-Olu is busy running from TV to radio station, GRV is on the ground at the site of the Akere market burned by political thugs. Make of this what you will. A New Lagos is coming. GRV is the architect. Eko, get ready!
You guys that set your homeland on fire but turn around to blame Fulani herdsmen and Buhari can commit any atrocity in Lagos to blame APC . We know you guys inside out.
Mediahq: Ideally, democracy is meant to be a government of the people by the people for the people, but it has been twisted to be a contrary experience in Lagos State. For so long, the politics of Lagos State has always supported and benefitted only the privileged politicians, the elites, the hanger-ons, the henchmen of politicians, the ruthless enforcers, the transport unions officials, the market women officials and others at the expense of the people.
By and large, the popular political system called ‘state capture’ is the predominant behind-the-scene hand of treachery that controls the levers of economic and political power in Lagos State, while marginalising the less privileged and leaving the general average hardworking Lagosians to scramble for crumbs of survival. Thus, our state has been captured for the private benefits of less than 1 percent of the citizens of the state while 99 percent suffer from the huge infrastructure failure and large scale corruption of the APC government.
Today, as a result of the lopsided, exclusive, corrupt character of government in Lagos State, many questions are begging for answers. How many Lagosians have access to good healthcare services, potable water and affordable housing? How many low-cost houses were built by the APC government in the last 20 years for Lagosians? Perhaps the government built at best 30,000 units for over 20 million struggling tax-paying citizens of the state! Still, how many of our people are gainfully and productively employed? How many new jobs were created directly and indirectly by the state government in the last 20 years? Quite insignificant!
As the grim realities of misrule grind on Lagosians year after year, many are still living in the squalid and poverty-ridden areas of Ajegunle, Okokomaiko, Badagry, Ikorodu, Epe, Alimosho, Lagos Island, Lekki, Bariga, Shomolu, Ketu, Ojo and so on. The sadder reality is that most of the people living in such slum conditions have no hope in the next 50 years of being pulled out of poverty as they continue to suffer acute lack of electricity, potable water, decent accommodation, health and education facilities, gainful jobs and more, due their total oppression by the political elites.
So, right-thinking stakeholders are now asking: where are the so-called acclaimed massive developmental projects being trumpeted by the APC government to deceive voters for a second term when life still is short, hard and brutish in the state for most residents? Curiously, in this same ‘centre of excellence’, consultants to the state government collect over 50 billion naira annually in various commissions for taxes and other levies collected on behalf of the state. Multiple taxation that kills businesses is the order of the day, with all kangaroo kinds of consultants such as in inland revenue, tenement rates, land use charge, advert isement, telecom infrastructure, power infrastructure approvals, building permits, fund raising, markets, abattoir and transport unions all oppressing and fleecing Lagosians of their hard earned income. But where is all the money going into? Where is accountability for our commonwealth? Isn’t it time Lagosians woke up and demand concrete answers as the next elections approach fast?
The Labour Party governorship team of Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour (GRV) and his Deputy is firmly of the view that in every four years of an APC government, over N100 billion is frittered away in special fees payable to consultants and other politically backed rent seekers. When this is coupled with an over bloated and corrupt contracting process, inflated figures by various ministries, plus the state capture by the political leader, his agents and government officials of the land assets of the state, it can be boldly affirmed that over two trillion Naira has been wasted and diverted to some people’s pockets in the last twenty years of the APC government. That is the same massive amount of money that would have helped provide educational scholarships, world-class healthcare, affordable houses, potable water and the creation of millions of jobs for the most disadvantaged, marginalized people of the state.
However, all hope is not lost. That is why GRV’s message is that Lagosians must take their fate in their hands and seize their chance in 2023! We have been taken for a ride for too long. If elected, the GRV government will declare within its first few days of office a total war on poverty. Our focus will be to create a good life and living for the lowest income earning Lagosians and others. We will improve access to quality education, quality healthcare, clean water, affordable housing and so on. We will set up and finance skill acquisition centers for ICT in high-demand jobs and training for at least 2 million people in all the local government areas in the state, in disciplines such as fintech, programming, cybersecurity, gaming technology, data analytics, online marketing, artificial intelligence, machine learning, etc.
Also, we will deal with the miserable traffic situation by building efficient road and water transportation networks all over the state. In all, we will definitely block all leakages, rent seeking, corrupt diversion of our commonwealth, terminate all evil consulting agreements of the APC collaborators and recover our commonwealth for the entire benefits of Lagosians. We will fight the evil extortion of our traders, drivers, market women etc. Major focus of GRV administration will be on catering to a better life for artisans, lower cadre civil servants, lower cadre private sector workers, domestic workers, drivers, market women, underprivileged youths and senior citizens, unemployed folks, and all those living in the ghettos of Lagos, to give everyone a sense of belong and a good standard of living. A new beginning beckons to Lagosians. GRV is ready and prepared to take Lagosians to the next level. Join us!

Land grabbers whose destiny have been destroyed by Ipob, unknown gun men and eastern security network are the ones crying about Lagosians's destiny. Unfortunate souls whose land is in ruin and under siege of criminal elements are more concerned about Lagos. Misplaced priority.
know the game they are playing. Shinedu, the Ipob terrorist, is being portrayed as kind and sympathetic. Where was he for the past four years? Election is around the corner he is donating money. This is what their partner in crime, Macaroni, is accusing other political parties of doing. Hope Macaroni is not blind and deaf to this. Bunch of hypocrites.
omoalaro: I am surprised Obi is calling Senator elect Ireti Kingibe as the first elected female senator of the FCT. This is not true. The First elected female senator for the FCT is Senator Khairat AbdulRazaq- Gwadabe, the sister of the current Kwara State Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq. Obi needs to gather quality advisers around him to avoid making very embarrassing comments like this.
One4me: Some of you are brainless! How can yo insult the whole Yoruba people, by calling their place "Southwest", forgetting that if not for them, Peter Obi will have No Chance of challenging for the Presidency or dont you know that in Lagos for example, Obi won because most Yorubas voted for him, instead of their own Rogue (Tinubu)?
Run-Mouth People like you, create enmity for us everywhere, with your careless talk. My good Yoruba people, abeg nor vex, l apologize on his behalf, The work you started has not finished, we need to continue to work together and flush that man that can not ease himself, except Tinubu gives him permission, from Alausa. We need to vote Labour Party, vote Gbadebo Chinedu Rhodes Vivour for Governor of Lagos State..Together, we will build a New Nigeria where Chinedu and Shina, where Olawale and Obiora leave together in peace and work together to take Lagos, Abuja, Abia and every part of Nigeria, to greater heights,
honourable minister should disregard the noise coming from Ipob house also known as the Labour Party. They are genetically wired to be disturbing the internet peace. Ignore the market noise and focus on what you want to buy there.
Toneypen247: While some benefit of the doubt is going on in the courtroom, some are already recognizing him with their request. What a system filled with the most corrupt educators in the world where professors were used in rigging the election.💔
You have been left behind. Majority are aware Tinubu won.
Corrupt union endorsing incompetent and divisive Obi who is an opportunist should be ignored. No union can tell workers who to vote for. It is a contravention of the union constitution to ask unionized Nigerian workers who to vote for.
Next time all union executive positions shall be zoned and shall reflect religious diversity of this country.
Seefinish: I live in the north here, some imams are openly telling their members to vote for Atiku a Muslim and some are also telling their members to vote Muslim Muslim. And I know you have the videos of those imams, but tribalism blocked your ears, eyes and mouth rendering you deaf, blind and dumb to hear, see, talk. It is obi you see as a " religious bigot and extremist" and pastors who publicly endorsed him as "yeye" unfortunately to millions of Nigerians shall go out on Saturday to vote for "competent, character, capacity" and a man who will defend their faith
Pictures and videos of Peter Obi's visits to religious gatherings and venues are all over the Internet. Can you say the same for Tinubu?
Yeye is a Yoruba word that can mean low value, cog in the wheel, clownish, unimportant, useless, stupid, and a laughing stock. It is a very common and frequently used word in Nigerian pidgin English.
As the presidential election day draws nearer, politicians and their agents and supporters are more determined to ensure victory for their candidates. Some are going the extra mile to visit religious houses and gatherings to seek support for their candidates. They appeal to religious sentiments and biases to gather votes for their candidates.
The most notorious presidential candidate seeking religious endorsement and validation is the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi. He manipulated Anambra people by pitching the Catholic against the protestant when he was the governor.
As a presidential candidate, he has been playing the religious card all along. On a national scale he is now romancing the protestants he discriminated against. Peter Obi is using the body of Christ to prosecute a religious agenda.
To position himself as a Christian candidate, he and his cohorts are now buying endorsement from Churches.
However, it is crystal clear to discerning minds that Peter Obi is a divisive element that cannot be trusted with presidential power.
He has shown himself to be biased, divisive and narrow minded. He cannot preside a multi religious and multiethnic country like Nigeria.
Yeye clerics endorsing Peter Obi are doing him more harm than good. They make Obi a religious candidate that is a religious bigot and extremist.
Wife of Mr Ibu has come out to social media to cry about what her husband, Mr Ibu did to her and how he abandoned her and her children, not paying school fees or providing money for upkeep. She also accused him of extra marital affairs.
This is sad. Watch where she's been assaulted by Mr Ibu.
Mr Ibu is obedient. Typical of them. Hypocrisy has destroyed them all. Like Obi like Obedients.
Due to fear of Unknown gunmen ravaging the Eastern part of Nigeria, billionaire businessman man Emeka Ofor visited his village with heavy security personnel and armed men.
In the video, you will see the convoy that will take him to the airport
Emeka Ofor Brags in Igbo, says "having Power is having contact, without contact, you will have no contact and Power is not muscle, he concluded by saying, money is power, they all laughed"
God forbid Peter Obi presidency. South east terrorism will spread all over Nigeria if he becomes president.
It is confirmed and validated that Obi is a dullard. Soludo is right after all. Obi is not aware that Onne sea port is functional. Many containers are moved to Onitsha via Port Harcourt Owerri road and Owerri Onitsha road. Obi, like his supporters, see the growth of Lagos as the cause of underdevelopment of south east. So, to Obi and his blind and deaf mob, bringing Lagos down will make south east grow. It is a pity that Obi encapsulates what Obedients, ESN, unknown gun men and IPOB stand for.
