How about we stop complaining and start mobilizing ourselves for the coming 2023 Governorship election? Enough talking already, let's vote APC out. Let's try a new party entirely.

Let's vote Labour Party in the gubernatorial election. GRV seems enlightened and cool-headed without any rapacious Godfather breathing down his neck. We can do it!

Banks are businesses too. They all offer unique values that address customers' pain points. Your question should be, which bank will address my pain points and give me the best value for my money?

Start with your purpose for a new bank account.

LOL This is standard practice. Let me even ask, where do you think the rickety trucks collecting the shit from your 'suck aways' dumps it? In the River! So why pay the rickety truck to evacuate your shit when you can as well dump it in the river yourself?

Let's keep electing clowns as Presidents and Governors while our children swim in shit at the beaches we take them to for Christmas.

Why can't these Governors solve the basic needs of the people first? Provide Pipe-Borne water, quality education, health facilities, a central sewage system, good roads, waste disposal systems etc. Forget about these light rail, stadiums, mega auditoriums and other white elephant projects.

What can $6m do for a light rail project? Are you kidding me? USD 6 million, seriously?

Mr Jaafar, poverty has been fertilizing this iroko seed for decades, and It has now grown into a mature Iroko tree with gigantic branches and deep roots. Mr Jafaar, this iroko tree is the Nigerian youths and we're about to fall on the PDAPC structure of criminality.

Peter Obi's Chances are good if you consider the damage an Iroko tree can do when it falls. The 2023 Presidential poll is not an election, it's a political revolution.

Nigerian English is always upside-down.
I thought data centre is something of Servers and networking.
Wetin come concern CCTV monitoring with data centre now?

They're relying on our ignorance to get reelected. Nigeria does not have a data centre, not even one. I stand corrected if anyone is up to the challenge.

MarketDispatch:
What I see there is a Security room for monitoring CCTV cameras installed in various locations at LASWA Jetties....that was same way the security man in the school I attended was monitoring the perimeter of the school in the security room.

Exactly, it's just a surveillance station for monitoring the jetty. Data centres have no business with CCTV cameras or aesthetics. Gaddamn!! The mediocrity we celebrate in this Lagos.

Wickedfacts:
Very good.
When you finish foaming at the mouth, you will carry your picture and take it to your barren state and show your idiot of a Governor to construct it there.

You are an expert in Lagos affairs while your own state is in ruins. What legacy do you want to leave for your children?
Your children will ask you what you were doing when Lagos was developing, is this how you will be showing them pictures like a photographer's apprentice?

Yen Yen Yen. Poor deflection there. I ask again, where are the servers?

You think you're deceiving anyone with your mediocrity. Lagos is progressing, my axx. Look around you and point out the progress in Lagos. With the amount of resources available to the state, we should have basic amenities like pipe-borne water at the least.

Well, you wouldn't know anyway because you don't know any better.

Wickedfacts:
Well, he's using projects to earn a second term.

It was 50cl of kerosene Ikpeazu used to get a second term in the East.

Which project? Do you even know what a data management center is? This is a surveillance station.

In all my life in IT, I've never seen a data centre with surveillance monitors. I haven't even seen one this beautiful. So beautiful they used one of their "servers" as a TV.

Where is the data centre? Ok, we have seen the beautiful pink hue photos of Sanwo Olu but where are the servers? The mediocrity we keep celebrating in Lagos is really embarrassing.

A data centre is a building that houses storage systems we call servers. Here is what a data centre looks like.

The level with which Sanwo-Olu disrespects our intelligence is painful. Most of the achievements he commissions and celebrates are fictitious. 4 years and no worthy achievement to celebrate.

Vote Wisely Lagosians

RHMSTECH:
20m tax payers. Lol I am done with this conversation. Even Nigeria as a whole no get 20m active tax payers. The number one problem of Lagos is overpopulation, it’s because 60% of the population are not productive.

What if I tell you that the 10 years old who bought biscuits from the mallam paid full VAT to the state? I don't know how old you are or your level of education, but I'm certain you haven't held a job before. You seem arrogantly ignorant.

Say hello to your mum for me.

RHMSTECH:
You have over 20m people packed in a tiny space, you think it’ll be easy fixing a train with that structure? Addis Ababa is just 5m with a bigger land mass. That’s why Lagos state government always demolish houses with compensations before most roads are expanded or built. Even though there was a plan, the large increase in population has increased the level of difficulty tremendously. You think the same train would cost that much in Ibadan or osun?

That's 20m tax payers which translates to more revenue for Govt to provide necessary infrastructure at scale.

Your logic does not hold water. This population logic is the most senseless I've ever heard. It's like Facebook complaining that they have too much users and can't provide enought servers to handle such "tremendous" traffic. Do you people think at all?

Your PVC is ready at INEC, go and collect your PVC. INEC does not count Nairaland likes and shares.

We owe it to our children to leave a better Nigeria for them. Let's join hands together and retire the crooks we call leaders.

ba7man:
Ethopian light rail : On solid ground.

Lagos Light rail : On swamp so piles, and bridge required to elevate it above swamp.

Lagos rail : Ambode ignored project, thereby delaying it for 4yrs.

When people go into details, they'll realize how empty many of you are.

LOL. Ethiopia standard guage span across the lake tana. A lake deeper and longer in width than the 1km bridge Lagos light rail crossed.

Make una dey try research wetin una hear for Agbado WhatsApp group. Is there another lie I need to dispell?

RHMSTECH:
The demographics are different and that’ll affect the job to be done. Lagos is already too tight, finding a route for those trains took a lot more efforts

The "demographics" are the same, whatever demographic means to you. F**KN illiterate.

seguno2:
You are not far from the truth.

What you didn't add is that Addis Ababa rail is standard gauge while Lagos is light rail, yet it cost 3 times more. Make it make sense. BTW, the new cost is $1.4B.

All of EscoBAT and Gang go retire for 2023.

Why don't yout just publish your hand over note publicly like Obi did. 14 billion ko!

You be the only armed robber in the world wey leave 14 billion.

Yam. Who the hell thought of boiling wood until it softens to eat? Of all the delicious berries and crops in the wild back then, this lazy old man choose to boil wood and called it Yam.

The wooden look, texture and taste creeps me out when I see people eating it. Some people are so gross, they fry the wood.

Go and collect your PVC. INEC does not count Nairaland Likes and Shares. Stop waiting for the deadline before you go.

Vote Wisely

babyfaceafrica:
That one no concern me, pdp and apc na scam! Arise TV should clean their house first before pointing fingers on BAT

Stop beating around the bush and answer the question. You said Tinubu will not grant interviews from Arise TV because Arise TV is compromised, I'm asking if other TV stations, including his own TVC, are also compromised?

You Agbadorians think you're smart but on closer inspection, you are not any different from Balablu Blu-Blu Bulaba.

babyfaceafrica:
Arise TV owned by a PDP stalwart nduka Obaibena can't be trusted or deemed neutral. Their chief Anchor Ruben Abati confessed collecting 500m from Dasuki. APC has failed, yes, but not be arise TV go tell us!

PDP was never an option, i can remember the number of assassinations during pdp times, bomb going off in Abuja and many states.. Who can forget the rubbish NGF election between Amaechi and saraki where 16 was greater than 19?...una think say eveybody na indomie generation? Rabbish

Has Tinubu appeared on Channels TV, or AIT, or even his own TVC for an interview? If Arise TV is compromised, are these other TV stations, including his own, also compromised?

Something is definitely wrong with Tinubu's mysterious avoidance of the Nigerian press.

arsenal33:
so it's only Lagos state you want. Ole

Yes ooo, I want the only state collecting my taxes. That's all!

Lainegh:
you people can talk nonsense APC defeat PDP by more than 500k votes in gubernatorial election. All this obi people and lies sha

LOL Go and look at the figure again, not 2019, 2015 when we tried with Jimi Agbaje. We're trying again in 2023. Tinubu must go!

Lagos shall be free from Tinubu's stranglehold come 2023. We tried in 2015 and almost succeeded, Sanwo Olu managed to win with less than 90,000 votes. We shall try again in 2023, riding on the wave of the Obidient movement.

Don't lose hope Lagosians, there's hope on the horizon. Tinubu oo, Sanwo-Olu oo, Obasa oo, and all the crooks in Alausa shall be retired in 2023. God willing!

Obidients, Your PVC Is Ready, Go And Collect Your PVC.

I thought bringing religion into politics was wrong. Has the standard changed?

Peter Obi always leads, others criticize at first, and then they follow.

Neoteny7:
The wine glasses cost half each cos they're half empty

I'm not sure that's accounted for cos even if we factor in the content of the glass, how do we know it's half full and not 7/13 full, given the shape of the glass and the complexity of determining volume by mere sight?

W + W + W = 9
3W = 9
W = 9/3
W = 3

W + C = 8
3 + C = 8
C = 8 - 3
C = 5

W + S + S = 7
3 + 2S = 7
2S = 7 - 3
2S = 4
S = 4/2
S = 2

W + 2S * C = ?
3 + 2(2) * 5 = ?
3 + 4 * 5 = ?
Using BODMAS
3 + 20 = ?
? = 23

Peter Obi has already addressed these concerns in his manifesto. His method is unambiguous, implementable and pragmatic. In summary, his plan looks like this:

Distribution:

* Ban estimated billing and fully prosecute the National Mass Metering Program.
* Ensure DisCos comply strictly with their PPA agreement.

Transmission:

* Liberalize the transmission network and allow private investors to come in while Govt focuses on oversight.

Generation:

* Ensure that the bilateral agreements between FGN and Siemens succeed.
* Re-engage abandoned IPPs and sign new PPAs
* Develop 100,000 mini-grids and locate power plants close to gas lines.
* Complete all abandoned power plants littered all over Nigeria
* Expand local R & D in Universities, and workshops.

Giving Nigerians stable power is not rocket science, it's the vested interest of evil men and women in PDAPC that is making stable power seem impossible to have.

A townhall different from....

I thought all these were mere superstitions until I started building my own house. My contractor who was an Alfa called me one evening after we'd finished buying materials for the 'german floor' to ask if I'd want to "put something for ground". I thought the question was a little weird and didn't understand what he was talking about. He then explained to me that some owners like to bury "traditional things" in their foundations. He's a successful building contractor around here and has built many houses in Lagos.

JAMO84:
When Sanwo Olu was running errands for Asiwaju, your mum didn't tell you he was your father, she waited until he is governor of the best state in West Africa! Typical gold digger.

Stop capping alaye. Best state in West Africa bawo? Have you been to Lagos? Have you even left your small village to see your state capital?
