Lagos is already building park like that of Oshodi at major bstop that will automatically eliminate Agbero completely. If you have beta suggestions let's have it.

If the governor ban them now na una go still complain n opposition will recruit them to cause mayhem across the state. Na still Tinubu n governor you all will blame. Show me a state with Nurtw in Nigeria.

When will the Obalende park be built? So much roadies around there sometimes.

Decent and honest Atiku indeed.

All birds of the same feather!

This guy needs help badly. Unfortunately, he has a wife who is only interested in benefitting financially from the situation.

Well deserved. Congratulations.

The young shall grow....

Hmmm! I pray for the safety of the housemaid.

KingGBsky:
My problem with the military is that why are they not using same energy in fishing out bokoharam and bandits in the north. The rail way service has almost been derailed with kidnapping and killings.

The Air Force has been working hard in respect of that. Sadly with innocent civilian casualty at times according to media reports.

The lazy one is the person you see staring at your face. Who is even talking about federal presence?

So Tinubu is the only governor of Lagos state? Even this morning, Tinubu is still governor of Lagos state?

Same way Tinubu stole childhood picture of Donald Duke, that's how he's stealing achievements of other governors.

Lazy gazelle gagaragas!!!

The truth. No one has done as Jakande did within that short period of time. Many who grew up in Lagos in the 80s got educated by virtue of his fair and progressive policies on education. Further development thereafter is a combination of efforts by other governors. Apart from BAT, others like Mudashiru, Marwa, Fashola etc played their roles.

I pray that someone will give him due recognition. Naming the Lekki Epe expressway after him won't be a bad idea. That single initiative is the foundation of all that is known as Lekki today.

May God's grace forever abide by his family.
Aljannah firdaus grant him O Lord.

The truth. No one has done as much as Jakande did within that short period of time. Many who grew up in Lagos in the 80s got educated by virtue of his fair and progressive policies on education.

I pray that someone will give him due recognition. Naming the Lekki Epe expressway after him won't be a bad idea. That single initiative is the foundation of all that is known as Lekki today.

Very sad indeed! God rest her soul in peace.
May God comfort the family she left behind.

That's the truth. We have Lekki today because he constructed the road to Epe. The Island ended in Maroko known as Oniru today.

Pipe borne water from mini waterworks scattered all over. (No water today).

Good roads, water transportation, LASU, LTV/Eko FM, Laspotech, College of Education, the low cost estates, all schools changed to day schools (many ran evening shifts because of the population), hospitals and many other institutions which are still functional today. His vision for a metroline which was aborted by the military.

All done within four years!

Lo ba pari!

But is this post truly from Phrank?

The children seem to look like him. Vicious lady! Sge should have married her beloved side kick instead of pretending to love her husband. Probably she's ready to leave but wants to gain custody of the kids. DNA will resolve that.

I'm happy for the man. Best to be far away from a scornful woman. I pray that he gets over his depressed state.

On Enron and frustration by FG then.

Enron was a failure on it's own. (Read up on the Enron collapse in the US. There's also a film in respect of that. )

Even the idea of the government paying for power generated whether it's beneficial or not wasn't a great one. Those who were in the power sector that time know better.

jjjjj2017:
Tinubu not winning Oyo in anyway

Ibadan votes determines who win Oyo state, there a single ward in some part of Ibadan has population that's more than 2 local government in other part of Oyo state (go n verify my claims)

People of Ibadan we very sensible when it comes to voting, forget all these hired crowd as some of them moved into Ibadan for this rally

Don't be surprised to see Teslim win governorship seat because Seyi really messed up big time, the man is only stealing Oyo state money like tomorrow no dey and everyone is watching him closely. Seyi is not doing any meaningful project, left all our roads with no maintenance. We don't vote based on popularity in Ibadan but based on your past deed

Tinubu, Atiku, & Peter Obi will divide Oyo state votes

People who are enlightened will vote for Peter Obi even when they are not card carrying member of LP. Party loyalist, uninformed & vote sellers will vote for Atiku & Tinubu

Nobody can predict outcome of presidential election in Oyo state

You may be right. It's always a tough battle for a sitting governor to retain his seat in Oyo. People look more at achievenents while in power. Only Ajimobi achieved that but he was rejected when he wanted the Senatorial seat thereafter.

Harry should keep quiet. Talks too much for a royal.

ggood:
Tinubu is not my problem. But whenever I remember that Shettima and El Rufai will play key roles in his government, I drop whatever I'm doing and go on my knees.

Hmmm!

Congratulations to them. So happy for them. Lovely couple.

Many more glorious years ahead to Jayjay and Nkechi.

Lukuluku69:
Spot on.

Dateline: 1988

A Police Officer shot and kill Two Brothers at Anikantamo, Lagos Island.

Orderly room Trial and nothing happened

Case enter Court, he was sentenced to Death but Hanging.

Appeal Court affirms Death Penalty.

Supreme Court quashed the Penalty. Constable I've walked Free at last.

He shot the Brothers in daylights ooo.

Anything Police matter, I just distance myself from it and usually warn any trouble maker to beware of the consequences of the trouble they want to start.

The problem is that we don't get to know the end of the story. As long as God is on the throne and nature plays it's role, he'll get full justice. Maybe in a different way.

Do we have the same terrain? Crossing the lagoon would have cost a lot for instance.

Corruption is another matter entirely.

opalu:
When I went to Kano to build a Hotel for one Hajiya. I discovered that Lagos is a huge scam. From my house to the Site is very far And the Keke is just N50. That was 2021. The same distance in Lagos would be like N500. So i use to pity the Keke riders and over pay them.
Aside that cost of living in Kano is extremely low. Cost for house, food stuff and constant electricity where I lived while building the Project.
People were behaving like human beings. They greet you along the road. They are open minded.

I heard that Lagos was that good and sincere before

Yes Lagos was that good before the mass movement from all parts of the country and the melting together of cultures. That's talking about human relationships and peaceful living.

How can people be this heartless.
Yet someone is looking for a Presidential aspirant who will favor the bandits.

Heartfelt condolences to the family.

This sounds doubtful in this era of online registration. He needs to explain how he got admitted in the first instance.

dominique:
I read about it on a WhatsApp contact's status, a heavily pregnant woman was amongst the casualties. They were going for a Muslim program not church revival as stated in the op. May Allah grant them Al-Jannah Firdaus and console the loved ones they left behind

Amen.

So disheartening.

Rest in peace great man.

You still have time to right some wrongs though you can't bring back the dead.

Let the Adara people have their kingdom back. It's most unfair to treat any group of people like nonentities on their land.

DMerciful:
A list of richest millionaires is not the right list but but the average richness of Igbos in Lagos compared to Yorubas in Lagos. Igbos nor come Lagos come admire bridges and tall buildings

Money without peace of mind is nothing.
