Exactly. I wonder what he thinks he's doing there.

Lagos is commissioning railway stations, and this one is showing us market.

Lagos commissions railway stations and such bigger projects because Lagos has the biggest budget in the entire federation. Do not forget that the resources of Lagos are contributed by Nigerians, irrespective of tribe and religion

Again, I advice you to compare Lagos with such cities as Johannesburg, Cairo, Dubai, Rabat, as Lagos became the federal capital over 100 years ago. Anambra, Ekiti, Osun, Jigawa, etc became states just over 34 years ago, with far lesser resources.

Peppysco:
Are you really serious right now? A state governor commissioning fruit shops and you think that's something to be happy about, gosh. Something that's within the jurisdiction of a local government chairman, no wonder all the stupid Nigerian politicians dey get mind to do nonsense because they know the people don't demand much from them. Soludo, being an Economics professor and a former CBN governor really fall my hand with this nonsense publicity of his. Yes, I be YORUBA but e nor go better for all Nigerian politicians(Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba...) wey contribute to the poor state of the country.

So a local government chairman should commission a project initiated and completed by the state governor, with resources from the state purse?

By the way, if asked, can you tell people the name of either your councillor or local government chairman, since you want to be their emergency advocate?

At this stage of your life, concentrate on developing good communication skills and rules. That is the only way your audience may agree with your views on issues.

Next time, use the word "has".

Also, "imaged" has no place in this context. It is "emerged".

Hope you have learnt something new.

Bye and God bless.

At this stage of your life, concentrate on decorum on social media spaces. That's the only way your audience may agree with your comments. Indecent comments such as yours must not be tolerated or allowed to pass, without equal response.

At least you understood the message that he passed to you, which for me was very proportional.

Writing good English does not translate to having good sense. If you reasoned properly, you'd find your first comment absolutely irresponsible.

He gave you exactly what you needed.

After reading this, the best name to call you na complete muntula.

Can we rule out conflicts?

Undersink RO unit. Fantastic water purification equipment.

You may place your order from me as I sell them.

That equipment produces smart water, free from of contaminants, germs and bacteria. Positioned under the kitchen sink and receives water from your water storage tank. Water passes through its filter media, delivering high quality water with good water pH.

Once again you may book your order with me at your earliest for more details on the equipment and its usage.

I have other water purification equipment with affordable prices for the rich and not so rich.

That's how the groom made his way to prison in some countries.

If Belle worry una after the longthroat and hunger, make una no complain say no medicine or doctor for una communities!

Kobojunkie:
What in the world is a "Bailable offense" for Pete's sake? What offense would constitute a non-bailable offense?

An offence considered very serious enough to attract death penalty for example is non bailable. Examples are murder and armed robbery.

- I thought he claimed to be a Sinator? Anüöfia!

- If Alex is man enough, he should challenge the uber driver to an MMA-like fight. He thought he is still in University of Calabar. Nde cultism. Mtchew!

"Sinator" keh?

What happened to "Senator" please?

Very dark man simply wanted to show off. The driver already made his complain and on the evidence of the video, said "honourable" was arrested.

It is a bailable offence. However the driver must not be discouraged from following the matter to the logical conclusion.

Such irresponsible people should not be found as leaders in this country.

7arrows:
There's something more to this story. so you sat in a bus an it burnt to ashes. They couldn't break the window to escape? Huum story no clear.

So you did not reason that the passengers probably were all sleeping with the vehicle caught fire?

He's now a civilian. Let him join a political party and contest

Sadistic statement.

Thank you very much to all.

Kobicove:
I don't think they're trying to disinherit his children.

When Herbert's will was made it was not anticipated that he would die so young and that his father would outlive him.

The older Wigwe intention aim is to correct that anomaly so as to ensure a more equitable distribution of the assets

Equitable distribution among who and who please?

aieromon:
Waste of a promising career. He was destined to be the Speaker of the House but decided to fall to greed.

Another great political career in ruins because of corruption and greed.

Now when he talks, he would be reminded that he is an ex convict. What a shame.

StealthGuy:
They were meant to show this (Obosi Interchange) but instead mistook it for Ijebu-Ode.

The picture below is Obosi, near Onicha.

It connects Ahaba, Onicha, Nnewi and Owere in Anioma, Delta, Anambra State and Imo State.

Where is the river in that picture?

Ok, since you didn't understand the figurative expression, I won't bother schooling you. Come to think of it, the Blue and Red line projects are state projects. There are states with more federal allocations than Lagos that couldn't build ordinary 10km metro rail e.g. Rivers... but Lagos was able to achieve that with 0 oil money! Kudos to Lagos state!

You obviously lack understanding and you're incapable of holding an intelligent sociopolitical debate, so it's not profitable to roll in the mud with you. Everything you wrote and will write is for you alone... Keep ranting. 😎

Olodo, with absolute no knowledge of what you are delving into, please stop disgracing yourself.

I have far more knowledge of what you think you know. With such arrogance and baba so or mentality, how can you ever learn?

Lagos is not tagged Nigeria's economic nerve centre for nothing, as the state largely tops with the highest VAT allocation alone, at close to 10% of the total collection of the 36 states.

Looking at the monthly income from earnings derived from oil exports, taxes (Value Added Tax - VAT), Electronic Money Transfer Levy (EMTL), Exchange Difference revenue and other statutory allocations, IGR and 13% derivation revenue, which go to deserving states, including Lagos State, how can you compare other states with Lagos?

Maybe you did not read or hear that Rotimi Amaechi commenced the $400m Portharcourt monorail project in 2012, that your Wike stopped. Even at that can you compare the resources of Lagos State and Rivers State?

With Lagos earning far more than much smaller states like Kebbi, Ekiti, Osun, tell us where you want them to get the resources to embark on such huge projects as metro lines, when they are struggling to keep afloat and with thanks to blind supporters like you, embezzling as much as they can.

Surely after seeking proper legal advise.

Fighting corruption with the Nigerian politicians is such a hard matter.

We had a Buhari, who was thought to have the political will, but he ended up with the worst cases of looting of the common patrinomy.

It is sad that the governors are pursuing such a case. When will corrupt persons allow this country to move forward?

Hopefully the Supreme court will dismiss this matter and EFCC further tackle these evil persons in positions of power and holding the progress of this country back.

Kepukepu:
That's why sometimes I argue that we are not ripe just yet to close drainages. It will clogged overtime if we don't address the environmental issues but people here like shouting alot about covered drainages.

It's impossible to stop using nylons for now. We are yet to invent an alternative

If we are not ripe yet to close drainages, how can people's lives be secured if inadvertently they fall into the drainages?

Keep up with the disgraceful comments.

Now your initial comment has become "figurative". You finally narrowed it to the same Lagos that you meant to talk about. You need to school your own self properly.

Blue and Red line projects are Tinubu's words, originated by him in 2005-06 when he choose LKJ's original idea of the light rail project.

You shamelessly dare to compare Lagos with states that were created in the late 70s and 90s. You talk about states that you know absolutely nothing about, even Ogun and Lagos states.

Maybe you need to get it into your thick head once again that Lagos had evolved over the centuries and became the federal capital. With the advantage of the seaports and airports, it became the commercial capital with the banks and stock exchange. Which of the other ststes, including your Ogun state had such advantage? Please tell us which state capital earns more revenue than Lagos State? Tell us which state has the budget bigger than Lagos State?

Rather than compare Lagos with Johannesburg, Rabat, Tunis, Cairo, etc in terms of development, you are there comparing Lagos with far less developed states. Does your Abia state and Lagos have the same budget? Why no compare Lagos with Ogun state in terms of development? Why no compare Jigawa or Zamfara?

"Lagos was able to achieve that with oil money". That oil money came from where? Your one window face me I face you in Ijebu Igbo?

santaclaws:
LOL.... what does Lagos have to do with this? Is this a Lagos state govt project? That's all you guys know how to do... Lagos this, Lagos that, meanwhile Igbos are fleeing the South East to Yoruba land on a daily basis! 🤣🤣

A region with the smallest land mass, earning reasonable IGR and getting FG allocations should have been far developed! You have very little roads by km, yet nothing to show...

Alex Otti is still busy allocating N1.5B Naira for 2 Toyota Hilux vehicles, you people won't screen your governors... Abeg, I don't even have your time 😎

So when you talked about the red lines, where did you get that from, Mr. Tribalist? Or you just wrote and posted without thinking that others would read and respond accordingly?

You are not ashamed. With your world's largest landmass, you live in hardship, poverty and serious infrastructural deficit.

If Otti's purchase of vehicles has taken sleep away from your eyes, why should you sleep when governors in your own region milk you dry and keep in your perpetual servitude?

Take the dirt of your eyes before referring to others.

Dogalmighty17:
Suswam... The guy whose stealing shocked Obasanjo. This guy has been stealing from the national trough since Obasanjos time.

Remember Adenike Grange? Former ministry of health during OBJs time? Suswam was among the house of rep members who was implicated in the bribery scandal that rocked the house then. He went on to Benue state as governor and fully swiped the state. He still has pending cases with the EFCC.

It is shocking that this is someone the PDP wants to consider as national chairman.

Do you remember that Adamu was the chairman of APC inspite of an EFCC matter?

santaclaws:
LOL 99% of Igbos don't check facts on social media, that's why most of you are easily deceived. This is obviously a project in Ogun state...

This means they can also tell you guys that the Blue line and Red line trains are in Aba and you'd just believe without checking your facts. 😂😂😂

NB: the entire South East (all 5 states combined) is smaller than Oyo state, yet no meaningful development to show for the allocations from FG and their IGR. 🤔

Sit down and shut your very dirty mouth.
Lagos is the commercial capital of Nigeria. Lagos previously was the federal capital. Lagos has the Lagos budget. In all these, areas like Okokomaiko, Amukoko, Ajegunle, Makoko, etc are eyesores.

Rather than address national leadership failure, reckless pilferage of public funds and uncontrollable corruption, you are busy comparing states and their unbalanced developments.

If not that your likes fail to reason appropriately, you should know Ogun state should be better developed than its present state, if not for looting of the treasury.

Oyo state to you is bigger than the entire SE, yet many parts of the state are disgraceful to reside. Why not make proper use of the size to showcase infrastructures comparable to other developed cities worldwide.

Botragelad:
Good, now tell Hamas to release all hostages and surrender!

There's a little baby in Hamas hand, kfir, stolen from his crib. Where is he?

This truly is heartbreaking.
Hopefully Hamas can agree to peace terms, discarding the control of Iran and Hezbollah.

Sharpsharp00123:
so who called him?

If he's d saviour like u present him then everyone in anambara should b living in paradise by now

At least

With all the years of Lagos, first as a federal capital, then as the commerical capital and a budget that runs in trillions, it is not paradise. Johannesburg, Cairo, Tunis, Abidjan, Ouagadougou, Rabat are far more beautiful and peaceful, in spite of budgets lower than that of Lagos. Kigali, Seychelles are far more beautiful and here you are referring to a state that was created about 40 years ago?

Why are Osun, Ogun, Ekiti, Oyo, Kano, Zamfara, Jigawa, etc not your paradise? Or you only know paradise by name and do no want to physically experience it?

So he wrote the results of the last Presidential and Governorship election in the government house after all!

Now we can see that APC did not get the votes allocated to them finally.

What a shame that we still have the likes of Wike in the political landscape of Nigeria, openly controlling two political parties in one state and intending to forcefully hold on to power by all means possible.

I hope that the people of Rivers State will get themselves prepared to vote such people out and reclaim their states from politicians who make it a war zone for them.

blacknp:
Leave a puppet alone, are you serious? Did you know who this puppet was, until Nyesom Wike picked him from the box of abandoned toys?

And who was Wike until he was picked up from the same box by the persons of Ada George and Victor Odili?

"Israel Defense Forces said in an X post on Oct. 17 that they were investigating whether Sinwar was one of the three terrorists killed during a patrol in Gaza. The Associated Press reported that Israel was using Sinwar’s DNA, which is on file from his time in prison, to determine whether he was one of the terrorists killed. IDF stressed there were no hostages in the area.

Hours later, the IDF posted that they had “eliminated” Sinwar.

Sinwar’s death is the most significant assassination of a Hamas official since Mohammed Deif, the group’s military leader, and Ismail Haniyeh, Hamas’s political leader, were both killed in July"

festacman:
Pure truth.

Nyesom Wike is political product of Peter Odili. Just like Amaechi, Austin Opara, Uche Secondus, Magnus Abe, Felix Obuah, etc. who were the members of the then Odili Restoration Family Team.

He joined politics, contested and won the local government election as Obior/Akpor local government chairman between up till 2007. Peter Odili was the man who made those possible. His disagreement with Amaechi pushed him to the Federal stage as a minister under GEJ. His connection to GEJ brought himthe governorship. I believe that palm could have been greased. Mrs. Jonathan took a special interest in him and the rest became history, with the special assistance.

No man is an island. In the course of his journey, other prominent sons and daughters of the state helped propel him forward, before he became the governor.

What is the current story about Port Harcourt and Warri refineries?

How can NNPC continue to hail and service a competitor like this?
