Hungry politicians dem

anonimi:
Say it loud & clear please.
Thanks.

I've even modified the post sef. It's good you tell these generation some truth. Unfortunately, they don't read

Malory:
As Lagosians we could have achieved more only if Tinubu is not breathing down on our neck demanding for billions of naira every day

You made sense , as in alot of sense . This project was actually Pa Jakande project in the 80s. He promised to deliver in 8 years and housing project in 4 years, which was the largest in Africa as of then before Gwarinpa came on board. Pa jakande delivered the housing projects as promised even before 4 years, but the rail project was truncated by buhari who overthrew the government of that time. Indomie generation shouting BAT up and down wouldn't know this fact.

Tinubu used it as part of his campaign strategies that he'd complete it in his tenure and build a power plant called Enron power plant to power it and also power lagos. This man spent billions on the power plant without yielding any results . He now later blamed its failure on the federal government frustrations. If not for corruption, this project would have been completed like 20 years back. 4th mainland bridge would have since been completed as well. They use it to campaign every 4 years. They'd do small and leave the rest. I can't wait for a regime change in lagos. If not for ambode who opened our eyes, we never knew Lagos was so rich.

Okay oo. Aa lęę so bęę. At last, I see pa jakande's age-long vision coming to pass. I'm sure they'd say this is Tinubu's vision, awon indomie generation. If not for corruption and regime change, the successive governments ought to have made this happen like 20 years back. The military regime interruption also caused the delay. Pa Otedola came and revisited it but couldn’t do much b4 military took over power again. Tinubu came and said he'd complete the project in his term, also build a power plant called Enron to power Lagos and the train but came back later and said, federal givernment frustrated his power plant project after wasting billions on it.

The ground-breaking ceremony of the train project was done in the 80s during shagari era, same buhari stopped it for no just cause when he overthrew shagari.

The next person to contest against Le Pens would find it very very difficult

Yea, if she faints not

Abi saraki wan get ticket true true? Na wah oo. He's the major advocate of concensus candidacy in the party. No wonder Atiku was complaining about this option

Deadlytruth:
Isn't it surprising that you who are known for advocacy of good leadership qualities which proactiveness is one of such are the very one exonerating Afe Babalola and Obasanjo with the argument that the situation back then was just limited to Sharia as if the bloody Sharia riots back then weren't enough signal for any proactive and visionary government to have seen that it could only worsen if no constitutional ammendments were made towards decentralization of the internal security architecture? And mind you that your theory that only sharia disturbances were the challenge then is very wrong because it was in the news then that as far back as 2002, the Russian Government alerted Obasanjo that a very potentially deadly Islamic sect was brewing somewhere along the Bauchi-Maiduguri Expressway and winning proselytes with its Jihadist message and that it was just a question of time for them to start acquiring fire arms to put into reality their Jihadist ideology. Obasanjo was aware of this but didn't lift a finger. Even the Sharia you want to use as excuse, what did Obasanjo do about it other than say casually that it would die a natural death just because he was in pursuit of political capital towards his 2003 second term bid? Didn't Obasanjo later grant to Channels TV an interview in which he admitted with his own mouth that Boko Haram was linked to the sudden agitation for sharia and came into existence during his administration but that he purposely chose to ignore them completely in pursuit of
political gains?
See it below:

https://www.channelstv.com/tag/chief-olusegun-obasanjo/page/3/

Note where the report reads:


General Obasanjo further noted, “Boko Haram have been in existence for years…they didn’t disturb my government because when I was in government I did not disturb their Sharia.” He declared, “Sharia is part of our constitution.


So how come you are denying on behalf of Obasanjo what he himself admitted and even trying to disconnect the sudden Sharia agitation from Boko Haram in defense of the Obasanjo who himself connected them together in his argument?
Some of you love political correctness too much and that is the real cause of our woes as a country.

I agree with you. (My response was straightforward to address the issued previously raised)... most of the problem we have today weren't there when Afe Babalola was AG which was the truth and that wasn't tantamount to me praising Obasanjo. If you read my earlier post, you'd have seen where I said the PDP couldn't address insecurity since 1999, same as in the military era where the same obj was head of state, which is why constitutional amendment is inevitable and without excusing this gang of politicians by allowing the interim government take over, I don't see that happening. You could see the way the NA dribbled Nigerians in the recent amazement.

Obj's government might not be the best but all the vices we have today were either not there or not so serious. Its getting worse bro. I remember Obj killing the boko haram leader that time and they gave him breathing space, only for them to reinforce and come back in full force after he left.

Deadlytruth:
Afe Babalola was Obasanjo's legal adviser and lawyer throughout his tenure in which he (Obasanjo) resisted and frustrated all calls for a Sovereign National Conference with the objective of drawing up a genuinely we-the-people constitution marked with decentralization and state police to replace this current one which was a product of the military establishment of which Obasanjo was an integral part.
Pray tell me why Afe Babalola couldn't give him this same advice for which you have just soaked him in all the eulogies in the whole world if he was truly not merely after pecuniary interest as you would have us believe?

The situation of the country wasn't this bad during that era to warrant an ING, if you were quite aware and grown up to know of what happened during OBJ time. The only issues faced that time was that of political sharia. Economy was ok and you could tell from exchange rate. No insecurity but Niger delta agitations which was later taken care of.

MedicH:
So which political party will appoint the interim leader or do you have intentions of resurrecting Jesus Christ to be your interim leader? You don't understand the Nigeria problem. Set aside your pvc for Peter obi. He is the only one that can bring back the years and resources eaten away by the cankerworm and the caterpillar.

Grab a copy of one the newspapers where the ING was suggested and read. All the modalities as suggested are there. Happy reading

This kidnap of a thing always has police collaboration in it. The situation in Edo and other south south regions is even worse. The day kidnappers would be having a field day, you'd not see a single police on the road. Thieves would be robbing at a close range and the police would look the other way at their checkpoint. Things cannot continue this way. That's why I'm in support of the interim government as proposed by Pa Afe Babalola, former AG of the federation. We can't say someone like him proposing such a great move either has a pecuniary motive or doesn't mean well for Nigeria. He's lived his life to the fullest, only awaiting glorious call. Nobody can also say such a legal luminary doesn't know or think before putting forward such a proposal. He's one of the few nationalists we have around. Things have become awry in every sector, not only in defence. Any politicians who oppose this move is either an enemy of state or a greedy fellow. No security, no jobs, no meaningful life, no education, no electricity, no infrastructure, nothing. I wonder why they're still in government.

With the interim government any politicians found culpable in these mess would not be under any shield or immunity. Our constitution would need to be amended to address all the agitations and perceived inequalities in the country. Boko haram who said western education has failed them, they need to ask them questions and put things right. Everyone needs a good life. Anyone who has seen where boko haram had been killed would know they're not looking good. They fight with their blood for a government style which they believe would give them a good life.

2023 elections isn't what we need right now. If buhari, a war general and former head of state could fail this woefully, if pdp couid not bring any meaningful development to the doorsteps of Nigerians since 1999, If the preceding military era couldn't fare better which led to agitation for democracy, then constitution amendment is inevitable to address several areas and issues, except we want to keep deceiving ourselves and if we want to remain a united Nigeria

...to achieve global pity and support. Wife can stage her kidnap just to get money off her supposed stingy husband.

...the end Justifies d means...

This practice could only be possible in the Arab world where conscience and love are dead, maybe some African countries too. A white man wouid rather lose his life , saving their own people than kill or destroy their property wilfully.

simpleseyi:
And he ruled for a whole 52 years? Will you as a person even spend up to 52 years on earth?

Even if you ruled 100 years, it doesn't matter. Being a bad choice doesn't determine how long you live or rule.

If men were God....You can say whatever you want but if you're not God, I'd advise you shut your mouth perpetually to avoid your evil thinking towards your fellow from backfiring on you. I'd live beyond that and attain the age He wills for my life.

That said, if you're from yorubaland as your moniker implies and you are at all in tune with our culture, you'd have known the meaning of bee stinging mourners and rain falling on them during a notable man's burial.

Bad omen. Maybe they did ojoro when choosing him as king. I learnt there were years of legal tussle about the throne and some circumstances surrounding his crowning as king after the death of Oba Ladigbolu. If he was a right just king, rain would have dispersed them instead of bees.

Very well, very...very well

I dont think so. Those pictures were black and white.

Handsome king, very fair complexioned from childhood

Stop going to Malaysia for whatever reasons. Enough of all these jumping down from high rising buildings. Life has got no duplicate

Good. May the clash continue

Haa. Ortom, put the so-called Northern alliance aside oo..embrace the likes of amotekun immediately. Any benue indigene here who's close to the government should relay this message to them immediately. These evil people don't mean well for Nigeria oo, especially the north central and the entire south.

The head of amotekun corps paraded the intercepted herdsmen in Ondo State this week. Amotekun moved them out of their truck after receiving the intelligence report a few days earlier, they seized loads of ammunition. AK 47 was quite much with well sharpened cutlasses and knives. Had they succeeded in smuggling them into our lands, by now blood would have been flowing like water.

The keep politicising amotekun while they keep protecting our people. May God bless whoever brought up this idea.

Confused party, acting in their usual habit. Same lies they've been telling us since 2015 and wr believed hook, line and sinker.

Tiday , na printer error. Tomorrow, maybe they'd say there's no pen to fill those forms . How we got here still amazes me.
Anyway, I'd see if we're tired of their lies next year or not....provided there would be elections at all.

So, Ukrainians would just be bombarding their parents, cousins, wives and relatives in their residential building's? To achieve what exactly by wilfully destroying their own country? Is this Putin of a guy ok at all? They're trying to evade war crime obviously with this warped claim but I can't see this propaganda working. There are obvious facts that putin would end up in jail after this war.

Only fools and disgruntled anti-west would believe this claim hook,line and sinker

Mooh247:




West made an horrible mistake resettling Jews back to middle east after holocaust and 5 million massacre by Adolf Hitler's soldiers

Just like Fulanis and Almajiri after few centuries, modern day Isrealis would relocate again to another continent to cause trouble and tell other Jehovah gave them other people's land

They relocated from Middle east to Africa during the days of Pharaoh of Egypt, it ended in chaos for Egyptian with plaque and fermine

They relocated from Middle east to Europe, it ended in world war with Adolf Hitler killing 5 million jews

They are back in the middle east after over a thousand years of migrating around, yet peaceful middle east has turned chaotic


.

So, you mean all those sites where their forbears once lived and buried as confirmed by Palestinians includimg the biblical and quranic proved sites now occupied by Palestinians are fake? If you had said that Jewish were scattered all over the world, I'd agree with you. Where they're presently occupying is their land, though they took some parts of Palestinian land which according to them was wrongly occupied by Palestinians

You don turn this Mike tyson punching victim to a meme . I knew it would happen. No be NL guys again?

By the way, monguno is a coward for back tracking. Even the terrorists who abducted the train victims were those who first said Elrufai was talking too much before monguno said same. Coward of a man

sapele914:
Remove Lagos Colony that belongs to Nigeria, where is the development in the South West?

How fast is Ibadan, the capital of old Western Region developing.

I'm not surprised after seeing your moniker. How can somebody living in Akpoaisi Lane, Ugbeyiyi Sapele know Jack about the south west? The industries in ogun outweigh that of Lagos...or is ogun state also a Nigeria colony? Go to Oyo and Ondo states and call them nigeria colony too.

Please avoid Agege, Ogba, Abule Egba, Ikeja, Oshodi, Alagbado, Berger and Mushin areas before setting out this morning. MC Oluomo boys and Istijabar factions have been reportedly shooting sporadically since early hours of today. Our Lagos is getting more volatile by the day.

Please watch out and put sentiments aside, before going to those areas to avoid stories that touch. Though Police were seen manning major violence-prone areas but then, they too seem to be afraid.

Be warned!

Excuzeme:
Russia is also mindful of PUBLIC OPINION
So, it is not just going to go ahead and wipe-out those Arzov Battalion Neo-Nazis holed up in the Steel plant because they have used almost 1,000 Civilians as HUMAN SHIELD in that Steel Plant!

They want Russia to kill those people so they can use the Video to mess with the brains of people who are not aware of the plans of these Nazis in Ukraine..
Russia has given them two opportunities, creating "Human Corridors" to allow them set the Civilians free, but they have refused to let them go, preferring to use them as Human Shield. The are holding these Civilians,s HOSTAGE.
That does not appear as the tactics of an Army that is winning a War.

Russia, WISELY, has decided it will not reduce the place to rubble but will continue to keep its Humanitarian Corridor Open, for any Civilian or any Soldier who surrenders his Weapons, to come out freely and unharmed.

And tactically, Russia has refused to allow any food, Water or more Weapons to enter the Steel plant. A total blockade.
It is hunger and thirst that will send them out of where they are hiding, hopefully they wont start killing and eating the Civilians they are holding hostage.

That shows further Putin's unprofessional conduct and babyish character as seen since the beginning of this so-called war. What was he thinking before making that statement initially? What happened to his intelligence? This I know America wouldn't do. Before America acts or makes any statement as critical as this, their intelligence must have gone ahead of human possible thinking such that when their mind is finally made up, no Jupiter except God can change it.

Let me tell you something, putin didn't envisage that the leader of the separatists who plays loyal to putin in Ukraine was also going to be held. What you based your statement on, as regards putin changing his mind was just a recent development...a decision arrived at, just yesterday after the ultimatum given to Ukrainian troops to surrender had expired.

Let's wait and see what happens next. Someone who says if you have the guts, come to my house with your gun...fear him, because you too don't know what he had at home. Its a wise saying.
