What are your own most beautiful buildings in the city of Lagos?

- Nextoil Victoria Island
- Kings tower Ikoyi

- Civic Center tower Victoria Island

This looks more like PTA meeting

I hope Ogun state voters will be honourable enough to listen to what Obj has to say though. How that senile osun-born muslim-muslim ticket criminal became an idol in Yorubaland is utterly beyond me.

Obasanjo is nobody, politically, in Ogun State. He has earned himself no respect when he had the opportunity.

He is mostly viewed as a wicked and self-centred old man. No wonder he has never enjoyed political support from home.

Even our education, if you look at it, you will see it's not the same."

Omo...see finishing

Kwankwaso and bad mouth sha

Oga you gave up too early, though.

You should have reserved your tears till after election.

Kpele.....reality na baaaastard

<><> BAT'23........ Them don they go, one by one!

Massive as expected.

No candidate has pulled more crowd so far...
Lagos = huge,
Niger = suffocating,
Delta = tumultuous,
Kaduna = jam-packed,
Kano = magnificent

<><> BAT'23.......Too sure!!!!!!!!!!!!

The last two pictures above show the Marina section of Lagos blue line.

South Africa has the most advanced rail transport system in Africa with electric trains connecting many of its cities.

The Addis Ababa metro rail line has no stations! What they built are roadside platforms that look like old BRT bus stops in Lagos.

It is not fair to compare this to Lagos Blue line with 13 stations (five already built). Lagos blue rail beats the Addis Ababa metro in terms of infrastructure and the type of EMU used.

South Africa has gone farrrr

More ...

Egypt, Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia aren't our mates in terms of infrastructure. Don't even mention South Africa

Watch African cities that have electric metro rail networks comparable to those in advanced countries. The electric metro rail lines convey passengers within the urban areas using EMU or trams.

....so what is inside?

A family name like this one usually originates from an event, occurrence or something done by someone. Though Gbajabiamila, based on its literal meaning might sound uncomplimentary but don't be surprised if it was used to make a complimentary remark to someone who is extremely loyal that he always take the side of his mentor/master in a dispute whether wrong or right, to the extent that the fight becomes his own.

Happy new year brother.

Yes Buhari is a good man but his government failed to deliver woefully and this was sold to us by Bat and cronies.

We cannot back promise and fail individuals who have not even honestly and humbly acknowledged their failings to Nigerians and apologised.

okay. All the best

LordofNaija:
This is exactly what he did in the fight between ASUU and Ngige. Make unah dey try bear better name o, e get why

Lol! There is more to the name than the literal meaning.

The most performing governors are APC governors? Really? Has any other governor been awarded by the FG for performance other than Wike?

You're voting the personality who foisted change and next level upon us? Whose close associates and subordinates from his time in office are in the current administration? How can he separate himself from what he personally campaigned for? Can you put your hand in a bowl of palm oil and not soil all your fingers? Why should we trust APC again after giving them 2 consecutive chances to transform the country and now things are so bad that JAKPA is now a national phenomenon? That throughout the festive period we have been inundated with fuel crises? You already know the current economic indices... Do I need to reel them out again? I think the major failing of the current administration is that the President [b](who is a good man) [/b]was not allowed to deal decisively with corruption as he intended. But either way APC asked for a chance, Nigeria gave them 2 and they have not done enough to warrant us giving them yet another chance. In fact at this juncture we regret giving them even one. Right now there is serious suffering in the land.

Wike was a recipient of national honour not best governor award. You can conduct your research on best performing governors in the last four or seven years and I'm sure APC governors will top the list. This is not about sentiment, it is a fact. Can you objectively name any PDP governor, aside Wike, who is doing well?

You are entitled to your views and opinion on who to vote and who not to vote for. I've stated by own opinion and reasons for my choice of candidate. This is democracy

You know the president is a good man yet you accuse Tinubu of 'solely bringing him upon us' Lol!



Happy New Year!!!!

Yes, it is a Yoruba name

Again I ask @Designmaestro

What sayest thou?


Now Nigerians can no longer make online txns with their naira MasterCard.

All under APC.

This is the change and next level abi?

Don't worry my friend, all these will change under Tinubu. Asiwaju's government will be a total departure from these poor economic decisions. He is a different kind of personality from Buhari.

He will run a progressive government that will bring prosperity to the people not the one that will escalate poverty. Don't think everyone that supports Tinubu is a fan of the current government. We are supporting BAT simply based on our trust in him due to his capacity not because of any political affiliation.

Buhari's government has failed in areas of security and economy but you can't deny the fact that the most performing governors in this country today are APC governors.

We are voting APC, we are voting BAT
Tinubu is not Buhari!!!

This is an insult! What sort of nonsense thread is this? Aren't you embarrassed to put this kind of topic on public forum?

Tinubu Vs Obi, what an embarrassment?!

The press was silent about this but always ready to publicize any news that will ridicule Asiwaju Bola Tinubu. I watched the event live and it is surprising that such great act by Jagaban was never highlighted or discussed on TV. All they are interested in is pettiness.

I'm not surprised by his action because that is what we know him for; a great leader that always keep his house together. The only candidate that reached out to other contenders immediately he won the presidential primary.

It sounds sarcastic to even call Atiku a unifier.

<><> ABAT is the true unifier.

$500 million is equivalent to more than 200 billion Naira (official rate). Imagine this childish lie!

How can one person donate an amount that can build 10 skyscrapers in Awka to a fruitless campaign?

Obidients don't annoy me anymore, they amuse me

Comedy skits everywhere....YouTube, Twitter, Nairaland, TV, radio....

wwwihy:
My campaign for now is to post achievements of APC to press their necks

You're doing well


<><> BAT' 23 ......TINUBU/SHETTIMA = DONE DEAL

obi58:
Atiku and the rest are all politically irrelevant today because of their contributions towards bringing in APC but their contribution cannot compare to the owner who promised change and next level and landed us here.

okay o

obi58:
But you seem to forget that this administration was brought in by Tinubu with many of his people in government ranging from the VP to Gbajamiala yet see where we find ourselves after giving these people our trust. Tinubu formed APC and campaigned twice for Buhari promising change and next level so how can we separate him from the failure of APC? Why should we believe him again after his protégé failed to deliver on their campaign promises and even took the country far backward economically?

Atiku, Saraki, Tambuwal, Amaechi, Dino, and the rest of those who called themselves nPDP during Jonathan's administration are not blamed for whatever happens now, it is Tinubu that bears all burden, lol! There is absolutely no point arguing with you guys.

Continue giving yourselves sleepless nights over Tinubu's matter. We all have the right to support whoever we want to support.

February is around the corner, since you know that BAT is not popular among the masses for the reasons you always publicise on social media, you don't need to bully those who are supporting him. Afterall, your candidate is the one wanted by the masses, according to you, let us campaign in peace and vote in peace.

You should stop feeling intimidated by the personality of someone you already believe he isn't going to win.

Shalom.

@ Designmaestro

Can you now see why APC is undeserving of another term?

We complained about corruption in PDP's era but APC has superintended over fiscal rascality in extremis over the last 8 years.

Total external debt rising from 10trillion in 2014 to over 40trillion in 2022?

Worst revenue to debt ratio in the world? 92% of revenue being used for debt servicing?

What sayest thou?

We aren't going back to PDP again and LP's Obi doesn't have the capacity to turn things around if we want to be honest with ourselves.

At this juncture, there is no room for experimentation. We need someone with track record and capacity to bring a team of tested technocrats to turn things around for the country. We don't need a saint, no need for any candidate to be presenting himself as a messiah or saint to us. Governance is not a one man show.

Bola Ahmed Tinubu is the best man for the job. We are not voting for party, we are voting personality (hope you remember that )

They are coming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Get ready for wailers!

They are coming for you people

This is beautiful!


Vote APC......vote <><> JAGABAN!!!!!!!

Every trade union cannot operate without government approval. If a union's operation is seen to be clearly inimical to the well-being of commercial drivers in particular and Lagosians by impact, it is the responsibility of government to intervene to protect the interests of the masses from any exploitative body. It is the business of government to ensure that it's citizens are protected. That's the primary responsibility of government. So if government sees the excesses of these thugs and refuses to step in then they have failed. Also you mentioned a very important point, that any government who tackles this problem will lose the elections and that even PDP would let them be unless they want to lose the elections .... Really? So agberos are above the law but lagosians are not

Not that they are above the law but this is Nigeria. I'm just telling you the reality. Politicians cannot do without elements like that in Nigeria. They are the tools for political maneuvering.

obi58:
If only other Tinubu supporters could organise their thoughts rationally like you it would have been much more interesting to have intellectual engagements but all they know how to do is to resort to insults and racial slurs to display their ignorance.

Yes Agberos are now everywhere but it all started in Lagos under Tinubu. For someone who was developing a so called blueprint for a megacity, allowing them operate and enable their malaise grow unabated is a massive demerit to his 2 term administration. The so called NURTW is nothing more than a front for the massive extortion scheme these touts are inflicting on drivers for self enrichment and of course the drivers pass it on to the innocent passengers in higher bus fares day in day out and the APC government has deliberately turned a blind eye to this disgrace from Tinubu to Fashola to Ambode to Sanwaolu. Why is this allowed in Lagos state? Are these miscreants above the control of the Lagos state government? Where exactly are the billions they collect on a daily basis deposited? What are these funds used for? Where is the oversight function of government in all this?

Agbero starting in Lagos under Tinubu? I can't keep on arguing with you over this since it is clear that you guys simply hate him and feel good throwing all kinds of garbage at his personality.

You said NURTW, a union that was founded in 1978 started during Bola Tinubu's administration, lol! I won't go any further on this but just want you to know that NURTW is a union under the umbrella of NLC and it is one of the most powerful and influencial pressure groups in Nigeria today. It is an independent body and how it generates it's revenue and what it does with the money it generates is not anybody's business.

I am also against their mode of operation especially the aspect of thuggery and extortions, but who is to blame? The union's leadership or Bola Tinubu?

I have told you why any politician in power will likely be lenient to them irrespective of their actions in my previous response. Even if PDP or any other party should take over the leadership of Lagos tomorrow, Agbero would still continue to operate the way they do, except if the governor doesn't mind losing the next election.

obi58:
As far as I am concerned I have no issues with Fashola, Ambode and even Sanwaolu for their infrastructural development of Lagos even though many of their projects were executed at grossly inflated prices (but what the heck as far as the projects are done no wahala).

However, I can't forgive APC for the profileration of the hydraheaded monster of Agberos and Agberoism in Lagos state. [b]Lagosians are suffering severely from these criminals [/b]and the APC government is doing absolutely nothing about checking their excesses.

Agberos are everywhere in Nigeria. They're NURTW members. The so called Area Boys are also termed as Agbero today. Lagos is known for Area boys wahala since before independence. They are called Omo Oraisa ('All right sir' boys) by our grandparents in those days.

These boys are always used by politicians as political thugs. Awolowo used them, Jakande used them and same with Tinubu. Politicians in other regions also nurture these type of boys for political reasons. That's how Nigerian politics is played.

Now, for the Agberos (not area boys) they have no issue with the people. They only disturb commercial drivers, who are actually their members. So, it is wrong to call them criminals. Agbero in Yoruba means someone who assists a commercial driver to woo passengers. They are everywhere in Nigeria. Go to any motor garage or park, you will find them. They all behave in the same way.

OK, my bad regarding the nomenclature. How would the trains be powered when light is not constant? I hope no be by those IPPs, which are largely glorified generators?

i don't know if you watched the video, there is a white man there who explained how the trains would be powered. Also, according to the LAMATA MD, Mrs Abimbola Akinajo, the blue line will use three different power sources, the national grid and two ipp's and an inverter that ensures seamless transition to other alternatives when one power source fails
