The spokesperson of the Delta State Police Command, Edafe Bright has fired back at Nigerian music star Paul Okoye.
Okoye of the group PSquare had cried foul over the arrest of rapper, Ice Prince

In a post shared via his Instagram Stories on Sunday, September 4, 2022, the singer said if a police officer enters his car and tells him to drive off, he'll assume the officer is a kidnapper.

The only reason a police officer will stop you and enter your car is just because they are looking for an avenue to negotiate for a crime you did not commit," he wrote.

"As long as a policeman enters my car and tells me to drive, he's a criminal or kidnapper."

While reacting to the post, Edafe likened Okoye to a category of celebrities without sense.

"Celebrities with no sense," he tweeted.

Okoye's post is coming days after Ice Prince was arrested for allegedly assaulting a police officer.

According to a statement released by the spokesperson of the Lagos State Police Command, Benjamin Hundeyin, the music star abducted and threatened to throw an officer into the river after he was stopped for driving without a license.

"At 3 am today, @Iceprincezamani was stopped for driving without license plates. He agreed to be taken to the station. He, thereafter, abducted the police officer in his car, assaulted him and threatened to throw him in the river. He has been arrested and would be arraigned today," he tweeted.

The music star was later arraigned and remanded at the Ikoyi Prison till his bail conditions are met.

That will be much na, accounting to OP payoneer has charged him $18 then another additional $10 from Nowhere , so total will be $28=N19,600 charge to get ones earning. God help us in this country to overcome this someday

PresidObi:
No, they are not.

Ambode is an elected governor on his own, some people might even infer that he got booted out because he started the eko Atlantic city against the advice of the owner of Lagos

PresidObi:
In all you typed, the name of Tinubu is missing in it. Check well again.

PresidObi:
So, the only thing you credit Tinubu with is enabling environment?

While other governors were starting real projects and completing them. Tinubu should be competing with Ambode, not a first class performer like Peter Obi.

AdamuKD:
You are talking like someone that doesn't have brain. Where is Tilinbu pictures where he is commissioning projects period?
Abi no photographer, radio stations or News paper that carried it that time?

AdamuKD:

I have seen that you have nothing to show us after all the noises u urchinsis has been making that Tilinbu built Lagos state. Go and bury you head in shame. Tilinbu is a thief and a criminal that looted Lagos state dry and is still stealing. Old cargo pampers wearing shaky shaky emilokan tueh

AstraDroid:
Such a shame. Showing Jim Ovie's building and Igbo owned businesses as Tinubu's Legacy is a dumb move.

PresidObi:
We are not children that swallows every lie and smiles, even when they know their daddy is lying. A simple Google search shows that a private firm built the Eko Atlantic which Tinubu is laying claims to. Lagos state government was only a partner, and even the almighty Federal government, with funds pulled from all parts of Nigeria are also partners in the deal.

It is Akinwumi Ambode that should be laying claims to Eko Atlantic city. The same man Tinibu booted out of office.

Let's check well before accepting information where politicians will be claiming other people's achievements to deceive us all.

Abdul05:
Go ahead op l am behind you..

Why it is right to say Bola Tinubu is the architect of modern Lagos:
- Transformed the state from federal allocation dependence to self sustaining
- After transforming the state to one of Africa’s largest economies, he created the opportunity for his successors to embark on landmark projects that would bring further development to the state
- He endorses the election of technocrats of proven competence as governors of the state. Thereby promoting continuity and economic progress of the state
- He created policies that encouraged private sector participation in developmental projects
- He initiated projects that transformed the city, e.g. Lekki FTZ, BRT, Light Rail, Eko Atlantic City, etc.
- He opened up the Lekki corridor for investors in real estate to maximize it’s potentials and today it is referred to as the ‘New Lagos'
- His polices have brought prosperity to the state and also created thousands of direct and indirect jobs for Nigerians
- His dynamic, visionary and innovative leadership has lifted the state from decades of stagnation to one of Africa’s largest economies

“Where others see problem, a genius sees opportunity”

Asiwaju Bola Tinubu ingeniously transformed some of Lagos’ worst environmental challenges to prosperity. Lagoon bank that stretches along Ozumba Mbadiwe Road in Victoria Island was a refuse site prior to 1999. He issued drainage clearance to private sectors to develop the corridor and today the waterfront boasts of iconic structures such as the civic center tower, boat club, Oriental hotel and others.

There was a perennial flood at the Bar Beach, which not only destroyed properties on Ahmadu Bello Way, forcing the Federal Government as well as state governments to abandon their guest houses and liaison offices along that stretch but also threatened the submergence of large swathes of Victoria Island. The Federal Government annually spent about N4 billion to pour sand into the ocean to prevent flooding to no avail. At the request of the Tinubu administration, the Federal Government handed over the beach to Lagos State and a bar beach flood prevention line was first constructed later this challenge was transformed into the ongoing construction of the Eko Atlantic City, a brand new city emerging from the bowels of the ocean.

In efforts to combat flood, he embarked on massive construction of new drainage channels as well as the creation of Drain Ducks and the Emergency Flood Abatement (EFAG) to clear existing drains and respond to flooding.

These are not Tinubu's projects.. but jakande, Marwa, Fashola, Ambode and FG....

WE need to see Tinubu on site doing commissioning before or after... Not pictures of molue's... and skyscrappers

Still searching for Tinubu 's Transformation commissioning

Former Lagos State governor and 2023 presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s achievements as governor of Lagos State from 1999 to 2007 will be highlighted in this thread (in parts). Many critics have argued that Lagos, being a former capital of Nigeria was already developed and downplayed the impact of the former governor on the development of the city.

No doubt Lagos has been the most developed city in Nigeria since late 19th century, even before many parts of the present day Nigeria began to experience modern civilization. It was also the capital of Nigeria from 1914 till 1990.
It particularly experienced huge infrastructural development in the 1970’s during the era of oil boom. However, its glory began to fade afterwards.

An unprecedented surge in population caused by continuous immigration of people from different parts of the country and neighbouring West African countries turned the city to an unpleasant place to live. The federal government also shifted its attention to building a new federal capital territory in Abuja at the time that Nigeria was facing economic crisis.

From 1990 when Lagos ceased to be the federal capital, the city had become infamous for overpopulation, traffic congestion, poor transport system, poor waste management, high rate of crime and decaying infrastructure.

Many of those who have governed the state had made efforts in tackling the challenges facing the city. Late Alhaji Lateef Jakande in particular did well in aspects of housing and infrastructure. He also proposed a monorail to ease transportation challenges in the city. However, the city remained a shadow of itself for many years.

When Bola Ahmed Tinubu began his journey as the executive governor of Lagos state, he was met with the following challenges and many more:

- Dilapidated roads
- Disorganized transportation system dominated by molue and danfo buses
- Dwindling internally generated revenue
- Poor healthcare services
- High crime rate
- A city buried in heap of refuse due to poor waste disposal and waste management system
- Overwhelming environmental challenges
- Decaying infrastructure in public schools
- Mismanagement and corrupt practices in the state civil service
- Poor welfare for civil servants
- Dearth of foreign investment and closing down of private businesses due to poor infrastructure and high crime rate.
