Imagine this clown comparing roads in the UK. Comparing taxes here with taxes in the UK, meanwhile people who pay their 45% tax aren’t tasked with generating their own power, providing their own security and have very affordable mass transit systems to move around.


What does #ENDSARS have to do with anything? And if you want to even talk about benefits of these partnerships, is it the Lekki toll gate you’ll cite?


Traitors abound in Nigeria.

I am not a traitor. But I am sensible. You must demand accountability from government, not obstruct progress and development. The citizens abroad demand accountability. They don’t obstruct development. If government is concessioning, you must demand transparency and watch how this is done to ensure accountability.

Explains why everyone wants to be in the UK. They tax and spend the money on the people.

How does the government in Nigeria spend money generated from tax. They turn around to loot everything and then buy whatever is in sight to oppress you. You're doing yourself more harm by defending your oppressors.

You must demand accountability, not obstruct development. That’s what they do in developed countries.

lexy2014:
So how do d govts in developed countries u are referring to use d taxes they collect? How does d govt in Nigeria use d taxes it collects? Any difference?

It is your responsibility as citizens to be the watchdog of government by demanding information like SERAP and BudgetIT are doing. You need to demand accountability. You should not obstruct development. That’s what they do in developed countries.

You are quite right. Some #EndSARS activists did not want toll collection, not the EndSARS brutality, that’s just a smokescreen. And some of them ask why collect tolls when they are paying tax. That’s what they do in most developed countries. They build roads and collect tolls. Some of the tolls are collected for ever. They don’t campaign against their government because they know that every good road is built with money. They even pay more tax than us. Apart from 50% PAYE tax in U.K., you also pay VAT on many goods and also road tax for your vehicle. Yet you pay toll charges on some of the roads.

because NIGERIAN MEN ARE USELESS.

Useless in terms of what? Is it because they belong to SMAN?

Naija Delta Youths, over to you.
Hold your leaders and militant leaders accountable for what a region that is supposed to be the most beautiful and the best region in Nigeria has turned to.
Take control of your future.
May Saro Wiwa's soul continue to rest in perfect peace, he was a great man. He fought for his people.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has commenced an investigation into allegations of diversion of public funds against the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Senator Godswill Akpabio and the acting Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Professor Daniel Pondei.

Naija Delta Youths......
Over to you.
Ask your leaders questions and take control of your future.
Enough is enough......if you think the same
The ball is in your court!

Truth is not bitter,
People are just bitter to the truth!

Don’t mind them. They won’t ask such questions but will be shouting Tinubu upandan. As if Tinubu had taken up any political post in the past 16 years, talk less of ruling in their States at anytime in the past.

People are still asking him to name the person. There is no other person than Omisore. None, quote me any day.

Give your friend the hint and don’t suggest that she is cheating. Let him do the rest research by himself.

Agent of war, have you seen war before? If you have haven’t, go ask your grandfather about his experience of civil war. There will be no nairaland where you can cry and beg for help in a state of war. No food, no water, all your properties will be destroyed, all your family either killed or raped and maimed. Life will never be the same again. If you need your brain to reset, I can help you with high voltage electric shock to your cerebral cortex. Hopefully you can think clearly after that.

You wait and see! That’s where we are smatter than you.

But the SW got their own 8 years under a "Christian" PDP party!!! You are not the only region in the south.It is either the presidency goes to another southern region or we will make sure it will remain in the North

Obasanjo was a puppet of the north. He does not represent the southwest. He was a northern candidate and Hausa man. And PDP is not a progressive party. The southwest has always been progressive. That’s why PDP has no stronghold in southwest.

Fahdiga:
Amen to your prayers and God won't give us leaders like you who is a well known drug lord in the mould of the likes of El Chapo and Pablo Escoba. God won't give us a leader like you who is a looter and bullion van thief.A greedy and selfish man like you who will rather protect his inordinate ambition by asking where are the cows? is Evans a herdsman while your people are being killed and maimed in their own land. you sold your kinsmen to the caliphate thinking they will make you the president. Tinubu you won't smell the presidency

If God destined he will be president , he will be president. God knows better than you and the lies you have been fed.

femi4:
Bible is not a story book, not for "ordinary" person. Else, you ll be arguing and revealing your level of foolishness

What a joke? Your line of argument is what everyone reads in Scammers handbook, “you cannot understand “, its spiritual and all the scam statements . It’s a storybook everyone knows that. None of the things written in bible was written by Jesus himself. What do you call a third person reportage? Is that not a story?

femi4:
You lack depth. A folly does not accept knowledge cos they are spiritually poor

Go ahead and swim in your folly

That’s what a weakling will say after being broken into pieces in their argument. You resort to spirituality as basis for understanding. How many of you Christians have spirituality? If an ordinary person cannot understand a bible unless they are spiritual, that’s a fraud. All you need to understand anything is clear and dispassionate mind, not spirituality. You can only develop spirituality after reading and understanding the message. You can’t put the cart before the horse.

femi4:
You are the one with short sight

Why didn't you quote where he called himself Lord
He
You didn't remembered he said that "He has the authority to Judge"

He referred to God has his Father, called himself the only Son

Yet, he said " I and the Father are one"

This is not 1+1=2, if you are blind, you just won't understand

When you want to discredit his Personality, you ll only quote the one that suits your argument

From your argument it is obvious that your bible is contradictory and ambiguous in the issue of divinity of Jesus. This is what you get when people who wrote bible were trying to input lies into the bible. The true message has been tinkered with. That’s why you have the confusion. A liar can not always be perfect. That’s exactly what you see in bible.

Mikecold:
Firstly i don't except Muslims to agree with Christianity on the mark of the beast because they both disagree on the creed relating to end time.


Btw the mark of the beast is the identification of the Antichrist, and the Antichrist is one who denies Jesus as God including his payment for sins


Essentially Islam is the Antichrist and should have no problem with 666

How can you create an illusion and believe it is true? How can Jesus be God? Even many Christians disagree that Jesus is God. How can God be seen with naked eyes? How can God have flesh of humans? When Jesus was killed for 3 days and nights, who was controlling the affairs of the universe? This belief of Jesus is God is a contraption that is false. Even Jesus says no one is good except his father. He also said the lord our God is one. You Christians are terribly confused.

I hope Nigeria is not descending into civil war by now.

He's part of the problem why people will also follow money. I'm avoiding to say this on public forum but thats just the main truth.

Yoruba's follow money instead of good deed. The omoluabi legacy has been shattered by politicking .

For instance anytime we write letter to Lagos state government for disbursement of indigene bursary we're always neglected but any time we move with aluta spirit we get settled with cash.

Compromising and bribery goes to the ever rugged gang thats able to move boys and crowd , politicians destroyed our union I have to opt out.
Same politicians turned our obas to alatenuje it very sad.

Good example is akiolu of Lagos.
The type of kunle poly , mc oluomo are getting millions for mobilizing touts .

While we the educated get nothing because we have good ideology and lesser ruggedity.
Most union i see now get engaged into cultism and it pays them , even make them get closer to government and get appointment.

Donald trump despite being rich had the people donate money for his campaign.

How good omoluabi way has gone to the dogs and I see many of you proud of it.
I need money badly also and want to have it but will never worship money mostly when the person who posses it is of lesser good to me and my people.

Last election I casted my vote do sowore . Ill maintain my stand tinubu legacy is not worth it. Anything to bring Lagos back to sane innovative mind is what I'll support.

Tinubu dynasty will end as far as I'm concern. Osibanjo and fashola are better individuals.

I won't support someone who make himself from my state resources.

I hope you have heard that Sowore also embezzled his party money. He was living in hotel funded by party. Just be careful who you support. I am a very practical person. Reality wins the battle, not idealism.

Lagoon0:
So its very simple Lagos can do better with its GDP but we're not.
This is not time for clapping hands for politicians instead we're supposed to struggle for the best not comparison with states with different ideologies.

I maintain my stand the APC dealership style is dragging Lagos slower. Lagos has an unimaginable capacity if corruption is reduced to %10 percent.

If we have odua nation a transparent economy could cater to the lapses of other southwest state not a "baba sope economy"

If you look at the tragetry of politics both local and national you will realise that money plays a major part of who wins election. Gani Fawehinmi campaigned for presidency, he did not get 1% of votes cast. This is because he had no money to give out for free. Ditto many good potential leaders. How can we reach the Eldorado without some form of money politics? This is why I feel that the style of somebody like Tinubu will help us to reach the Eldorado. In as much as we hate money in politics, we need money to entrench a politics that will eventually de-emphasise the use of money.

Lagoon0:
I think you need to know that GDP per capital income defines the economy of a state.
Lagos being the fifth largest economy don't have the best economy compared to other African state.
I'm a scientist and I know these things. Thats why I say lagosians are far more educated for weak comparison .

I'll screenshot some 2019 /2018 stat

We all know these terminologies. That’s why we went to school and that’s why we read statistics. You can always interprete figures to suit your argument. The richest is different from the best, and the best is different from the biggest. Mean is different from median and mode. But you cannot disagree it is the fifth biggest economy just like Nigeria being the biggest economy. We all know that South Africa enjoys a higher quality of life and they are richer.

I remember when I entered secondary school. The first class I was put had 39 females and 1 male. That male was me. I don’t know if this was a design by someone or a monumental mistake. Anyway I enjoyed the company of the girls who were falling head over heels to have me next to them. Yes it was for a reason. You could say I was also the most handsome man around. And I was instantly being called Okanlawon (the Yorubas here know what I mean). I did not enjoy the embarrassment and attention for long. The staff that bungled the arrangement quickly woke up from his slumber. The whole classes were quickly rearranged to ensure uniformity.

Whatever you prefer; that's why it's in quotes.

Let your quote be sensible, even when you put them in parentheses. I don’t argue with you. Just assisting you to make more sense. Thank you.

Lagoon0:
At bolded has always been a weak defense for tinubu for me. Lagos during time of jakande and the rest was also better than other state.

Computerization of tax collection and increase IGR , tinubu should be commended just like pa lateef jakade.

Lagos has not been faring well from the days of fashola due to heavy corruption in Lagos state.

As an educated yoruba and bonafide lagosian I don't need to go to Ogun state to know my state has problem.
Go and check the GDP per capital income of Lagos state you'll notice many African state are far richer than Lagos state.

We're moving like snail but because we live in a blind city you think its progressive.
Lagos can do far Better than this, we need transparency in our budget and tax income.
We don't want dictator , who knows we might have gotten another awolowo if the peoples choice becomes the governor.

When it comes to Yoruba race don't bring PDP or APC issues up. Yoruba remains Yoruba despite party difference.
Or are you going to justify funsho Williams death because he's not APC?

Nobody should turn yorubas to APC party its a matter of what favors the people not blind loyalist.

If you are looking for accountability I am with you. If you believe that we could be faster in developing it’s possible and I agree with you. Two issues arise: first of all, Lagos is doing far better than any state in Nigeria. Others are doing catch up, like Bornu etc. But when you compare the resources of Rivers and Lagos for example we are far better. And there must be a benchmark for comparison, you cannot compare in isolation. And I stand to be corrected, no PDP state has been well managed like Lagos. You state that some cities or states in Africa are better, give me examples. Lagos the fifth largest economy in Africa. Which cities have larger economies than Lagos in Africa? Please stop giving false information when you debate. All evidence is on internet.

Lagoon0:
I don't think you heard osinbanjo statement recently on restructuring.
The truth is when you get the power the mindset changes. Anyone that can't openly speak to his people his an hypocrite and should never be trusted.
Tinubu anti democratic act in Lagos as giving him off of what we should be expecting from him as president.
Imposing candidate and sharing money on election eve. These things as made Lagos situation bad. Don't come here to do comparison of Lagos. Instead of comparing Lagos , look at the situation of Lagos.

You should search internet for Osinbajo’s comments a few months ago regarding restructuring. He took us down memory Lane about how he fought federal government up to Supreme Court level to have fiscal federalism when he was attorney general of Lagos. He believes in all these things but his hands are chained when he is not the president. Buhari and his friends do not believe in fiscal federalism and restructuring. Otherwise he would have sent bills to National Assembly to change these things. And they will not resign because it’s better to fight the battle from inside. These Tinubu boys are planted in Buhari government to ensure that they are not schemed out of leadership until they get in control finally. As regards Lagos, you just need to look around other states and you will see that Lagos is the most developed. If Lagos had been under PDP for the past 20 years, there would not have been any development in Lagos. The evidence is found in States like Rivers state where PDP have always ruled with the largest federal income every year. Is Rivers as developed as Lagos. Tinubu faught Obasanjo to a standstill and prevented PDP from entering Lagos because he knows they loot and will not develop Lagos. At that time, Obasonjo took all the states except Lagos in southwest. Tinubu will make sure that he wins for the people, using the money that PDP uses but in a better way than PDP. He continues to ensure that progressives win elections in Southwest so that they can bring development to the people. That’s where he is different from other corrupt politicians.

Papa I don’t agree with you. He has always been an advocate of fiscal federalism and restructuring. All his disciples believe the same including Osinbajo. Except that they are powerless to do that now.

Lol... not sure we can get up to that number if there was a "hoe test" for men.


Ok. Bye.

You mean the “dick test”?

omoharry:
Your comment lack any form of intelligence . Keep ur emotion in check and comment like an educated person.

Use your critical mind to pick out the emotive statements. We can then debate on that.

Is this a swimming pool? I thought it looked like a canal with the gutter water in it.

Thank God village people were busy easy valentine fried rice, they did not notice her.

eherbal:
I'm a lagosian, and he's a bastard like you. I'm from olowogbo and my paternal grandmother is the oldest living bajulaiye member. Evil man like tinubu

I am also a true borne Lagosian from Apatira in Ita Faji area. I grew up there most of my life. Those who built Lagos are not Lagosians. From Jakande to Tinubu and most governors and assembly members, senators etc. The true lagosians are supportive of development, whoever brings it does not matter. Tinubu does not stop you from aspiring to any level. But many of us refuse to go to school and do not have aspirations. Rather we prefer to be area boys, land grabbers etc. Omo Onile mentality is our problem. Tinubu is not our problem. Our family properties values have appreciated tremendously because of development brought to Lagos by governors like Tinubu.

RichDad1:
Lagos will keep growing. Shame to those that wants it in ruins.
Awon Omo ale.

They hate Tinubu because he created a business and development oriented Lagos. That’s why they occupied Lekki Gate as if SAS headquarters is located at the toll gate. Their paymasters have told them the toll gate belongs to Tinubu and they must bring his business down. They will never succeed.
