From childhood to adulthood and old age, our government does nothing to their citizens. It's been me and my family affairs from time immemorial. What baffles me is, once you attain the age of 18, your years begin to run very fast. It takes the grace of God to catch up with the achievements of life which are meant to be recorded at a particular age eg,, job security, independent life, marriage, childbearing, owning assets and planning for a retirement. It's sad to note that several graduates who are supposed to be giving back to their parents are still under their parents apron string without any hope of getting employed soon, talk less of marriage. Most of our women are in their 30s and still single. Not that there no men to get married to but those men don't have the wherewithal to stand as real men and husbands

I met one recently who said she doesn't need marriage but just have a child to take care of via the income from her fabrics business. Without cursing our leaders, they're already cursed because they've rendered many lives useless and meaningless. Their children are either vagabonds or drug addicts. Many of their children have died before their very eyes while they themselves have one implant or the other keeping their heart functioning. They're not healthy themselves enoughto enjoy their ill-gotten wealth. There's an adage which says YOLO. So, why withholding people's rights?

In my humble opinion, the only panacea is breakup. I see some people working for others to feed, for doing practically nothing. It's high time we took our destiny in our hands as a people because these so-called leaders who are already nesting their graves have nothing to offer , they're time wasters.

Buhari has an agenda to distablilize this country.
lol. Buhari is even much better than tinubu. Tinubu didn't have much achievement to point to during his tenure as governor compared to fashola and ambode. Both had to fall out with tinubu and his cronies for them to record such number of achievements. Tinubu is super corrupt.

PoliticsRe: We Had A Budget Surplus Of ₦89 Billion In 2019, Lagos State Corrects BudgIT by Eriokanmi:
plaindealer:
How do you turn anything into a paradise by abandoning ongoing projects all over Lagos state?


How do you turn anything into paradise by not following laid down expo aka Lagos Masterplan?

How do you turn anything into paradise by dismantling the most efficient and advanced waste disposal and management system in West Africa, replacing it with a foreign company with zero waste management experience, zero waste management infrastructure on the ground, zero funds to operate and expand with and they turn around to give the company hundreds of billions of Lagos state money to start their business with from scratch at the expense of well established multi billion Naira LAWMA infrastructure and it's thousands of Nigerian workers?

How do you turn anything into paradise by letting the roads in Lagos roat and decay?

How do you turn anything into paradise by abandoning all the ongoing housing estates in Lagos for 4 years and never commissions 1 single completed room or apartment in Lagos when in fact his predecessor commissioned many housing estates all over the state?

How do you turn anything into paradise by abandoning the Lagos METRO RAIL for 4 years? Lagos should be generating funds from that project by now, but no thanks to Ambode for abandoning the project for 4 years.

Fashola within his first 4 years in office built power stations, he built waterworks, he build schools, hospitals, drivers institutes, skills centers, maternity centers, countless roads, bridges including still the best bridge in Nigeria, the Lekki Ikoyi bridge, parks, government facilities and so on.

Lagos Badagry expressway was abandoned for 4 years, a road that's actually very vital per the economy and development of Lagos state, a vital West Africa economic corridor that should be top priority, a massive undertaking put in place by his predecessor.

Sadly, Lagos had to regroup to finish that road, but they've lost 4 years needlessly and unnecessary.

Ambode set Lagos state back for many decades financially and infrastructurally.

The massive funds Lagos state is generating today and the reason for the budget surplus is all due to the financial machinery and reforms one man put in place, his vision and foresight made it possible for future governors from Fashola, Ambode and now Sanwo Olu to have massive funds to manage and develop Lagos with.

That man's vision turned Lagos from a poor state generating N500 million per month into a financial powerhouse generating 39 billion per month, more than 26 states in Nigeria combined,

That man is Tinubu. Without him, there won't be any massive IGR or the budget surplus we are talking about today.

Ambode was a disaster, a massive speed bump that slowed Lagos down for decades.

Lagosians didn't bother to save him and got rid of him for a reason, he failed miserably.

You obviously don't know anything about Lagos state.
In summary of your long storry, can you tell us who owns visionscape, the company forced on ambode to take over waste disposal in lagos state? You said ambode didn't follow lagos masterplan, how come he ordered hundreds of new BRT Buses you see today and expansion of oshodi-ikeja along up to abule egba and formed a BRT lane in-between? What of the world class bus terminal at odhodi. You must be kidding

Who's that single man you mentioned that put the structure in place? If Tinubu is the person you're referring to, you must be one of those who need deliverance for liberation and emancipation. Nobidy, I repeat...nobody in the history of Lagos state had built infrastructure like Pa Jakande. I had my primary and secondary education in Lagos so don't think you're talking to a stranger. Pa Jakande is the one who actually put those structures in place which nobody had matched or surpassed till date, including the rail road which he started as governor but was stopped by buhari in the 80s. What of housing estate?. He built the largest housing estate in africa in his time as governor with such a little amount of revenues at the state's disposal. What did tinubu do? Bred thugs, bought private jets with state's money, intimidating his opposition and sponsoring politics in other states with lagos money. I can't forget the "jeun soke and jeun sapo" days. He brought massive corruption to lagos which has now become a commonplace.

Ambode abandoned lagos masterplan you said... but in alimosho, he tarred over 50 roads. My elder brother lives at alagbado. He's a living witness. He constructed the millennium bridge at abule egba in less than 18 months. Agege bridge would have since been completed had he not been told to leave after his tenure.

You said the budget sirplus lagos is experiencing today was a result of an effort of a single man. You made me laugh. In the administration of fashola, was there a budget surplus? In Tinubu's administration, was there one? Ambode would probably remain the only governor who raised the fattest IGR in the history of lagos state. The budget surplus was his efforts. He promised this and fulfilled it without allowing people to pilfer it which made them to remove him and said he's not a democrat. Being a democrat is about embezzling and sharing public funds in lagos Whatever sanwoolu raises or achieves would start counting this year so nobody would have credited the budget surplus to him. He took office in May 2019 with no visible achievements to his credit so far apart from bulldozing roubdabouts. Whereas in ambode's less than one and half years in office, he had done wonders. Go to epe, you'd not believe your eyes same development was felt everywhere. I can see you're one of those who believes in saying babarere babakee to people. Reset your orientation bro. Work hard so the opposition doesn't take over lagos come 2023 because its obvious lagos isn't working. Bad roads , heaps of garbage dumps everywhere. That's what you get when you have puppets in the helms.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/punchng.com/present-cracks-may-lead-to-nigerias-breakup-osinbajo-warns/%3famp=1

See the wicked hypocrisy of the so called leaders in Nigeria? This nation has ever been a failed experiment & thoroughly divided entity from antiquity yet they keep on lying & deceiving themselve that Nigeria's unity is not negotiable.

Imagine them taking of prayers.Even God's word said "Can two walk together, except they agree" -(Amos 3:3) and "How blessed it is when brethren dwelleth together in unity"(Psalms 133). Developed nations of the world didnt evolve only via prayers but peaceful separation e.g.former USSR, Yugoslavia-Bosnia, North & Southern Sudan & now the UK etc.

OBJ was called the "divider on chief".Meanwhile the sitting president is simply the most bigoted & parochial type Nigeria has ever had.When ordinary Nigerians said this, the govt will tagged them as enemies of state or proscribed them as terrorists.So since there are more irreconcilable differences than what unite us,then it is advisable to breakup in peace.

@ Garba Shehu, Femi Adeshina & all the hireling zombies of the govt, what has changed now? Are Osinbajo, Boss Mustapha now wailers too? The worst thing that can destroy leaders is refusing reality or telling them what they only like to hear.Abacha fell in this category.
Echi di'ime...... tommorow get belle.
you've said it all. Religious intolerance go make the break up happen sooner than predicted But would they still accept the fact , even though same is staring them in the face. This is what would happen...North East would form their Islamic country but I fear the minority Christians would face series of persecutions. The UN would wade in with series of sanctions to rescue them but this will take decades of efforts.

South west would form oduduwa Republic. The region is more populated than 3 countries in Africa put together with lagos having over 20 million people so, they can stand on their own. The minority Muslims have no problems. They're learned and can take care of themselves. Religious tolerance is top notch here.

Niger felta or south-south too would form their own country. We gender alright. The minority Muslims here no get problems too

North West would follow suit with kaduna being capital. The minority Christians' lives are in the hands of God

South East too would form their own country. The population of each state is in the region in millions.

North Central would go. Where abuja would be, I don't know. The minority Muslims here would be alright.

PoliticsRe: We Had A Budget Surplus Of ₦89 Billion In 2019, Lagos State Corrects BudgIT by Eriokanmi: 7:58am On Sep 29, 2020
All thanks to Ambode for not being ''DEMOCRATIC'' according to Tinubu and those who removed him simply because he refused to share the state's money with them but used same for various projects which were visible to the eyes. The billions must have gone down the drain by now. Ambode would have turned Lagos into an earthly paradise, had he been allowed to do the second term. Within 18 months, several projects had been delivered. I remember the Millennium bridge at Abule Egba which he said would be completed in 18 months but was delivered ahead of schedule. The 2 puppets who are now being democratic, are busy shouting covid-19 pandemic here and there, saying they spent between one hundred thousand and 1m treating just one covid-19 patient daily. Lagos needs deliverance from godfathers. That state is too rich to be poor.
PoliticsRe: PMB Deserves Praise For Not Discarding GEJ's Kano-Niger Republic Rail - Lauretta by Eriokanmi:
NextPresido:
Is this one for transporting cows or what?
Part of the Fulfilment of the cattle COWlony agenda. Jonathan took several wrong advice and decisions by the same region who finally nailed him. Imagine same subsidy he wanted removing in his administration and the likes of this shameless woman protested against. They gave him advice based on what would favour their region and discarded things that would favour other regions and same people would still be shouting marginalisation. Sultan of sokoto was so loud during Jonathan's tenure as if he didn't do anything in the north.

I hope future leaders are learning now, that it's not every protest the government should honour especially if the policy is aimed at developing the country. Imagine if GEJ too had sought a court order to stop buhari, tinubu, this woman and co back then from protesting and removed the subsidy and also arrest protesters as this government is now doing, things would have been far better by now, economically. President doesn’t have to be too emotional like gej was. People would run down his government. Some people might say buhari is too harsh on some polices. They should go to America and compare trump's harshness to his. Jonathan's softness worked against him

Firstly, I blame the guy for allowing himself to he fooled. He's not the only foolish one we have around. There are many more like him in this generation. As a student being fed by his parents, how could you have sacrificed your parents' sweat for a girl you're not even sure would be your wife in future? The consequence of that is what he's facing today. Some parents go through shiit before gathering school fees for their wards. The guy needs to beg God for forgiveness first so he could have a sense of direction and his life restored. He has offended his parents greatly. He must go back to his parents so they could pray for him otherwise, his life could be like a snake who passes through a rock without a trace.

If you want to make it in life, don't put women in your mind. Focus on your career first and other things would follow. Now degree certificate, he no get life, he no get. No woman would want to settle down with an irresponsible man nowadays. Despite the sacrifice made , this woman still doesn't want to settle down with him. What if came with goodie bags and wealth? For the sake of sacrifice, the woman should just accept the guy. Shebi he has told her what he's been doing for 8 years while they were apart. Afterall, certificates aren't a path to wealth. World billionaires in our generation have proved that. He's educated. He even earned a diploma certificate. That alone is ok. The woman should just dare the consequences and endure hardships. It won't be for long as she has also said he had a vision.

Been going through so much physical, mental and emotional pains for years now. My faith holds me back from offing myself instead of suffering all these pains because i do not enjoy life and i miss out of all the good things of life. Tired of crying, just pretending to stay strong while am totally broken. The best i pray for God to do for me is to take me away peacefully from my sleep. I will be the happiest person ever. Whats the point staying alive when you don't enjoy life?? undecided undecided
Do you believe in God? Pls don't give up calling on Him. The challenges of life are enough to discourage one from living. Keep praying and trusting in God. When nothing seems to work, God remains the only solution. I once experienced a similar situation but today, it's history. You'd have your life reset to normal. All the best.
