I have been to Kano severally for work and leisure and also Lagos, many people in Kano are moving to Lagos and you have a lot of almost empty Local government areas and communities in Kano which you can't find in Lagos as everywhere is fully occupied bumper to bumper,
the claim that Kano is more populated than Lagos is just a political statement, this is why politicians from Kano have always resisted biometric census that will expose it's real population which is no where comparable to Lagos.

There was no Court order. They only tried to save face because they realised the EFCC nonsense was going to affect the President next year. Joyce was already preparing one for them, most likely.

Osun is one state that votes in a strange way. The only SW State Ribadu won in 2011. The only SW State Atiku won in 2023.

“Before, during the Edo State government, the Edo State election, before the coming of Governor Okpebholo, EFCC also took actions to restrict the account of that state government when we saw that funds were being moved to suspicious accounts. “And we were able to preserve $12 billion for them. That is why the current government was able to come on board and have resources to work,” he said.

This is illegal and unconstitutional. Tinubu spent the greater part of his tenure telling us to hold our governors accountable only to prove that he can actually do so by himself but only when his political dynasty is threatened. Same as the declaration of state of emergency in Rivers and the suspension of governor Fubara. The signs of an emerging Paul Biya is becoming too glaring to deny.

Wat are u saying...tinapa was an investment in tourism that didnt work as planned.nothing wrong wit that.lagos calabar road is needless...750km planned road n na only 50km we dont build wit heavy loans.meaning in 20yrs time we fit no finish d useless road wedont need

the Lagos-Sokoto and lagos-Calabar roads. They will create more business ventures and opportunities.

at the end, just a waste of money. but it is good for travel
Lagos-sokoto will be worse. who wan go Boko-Haram land?

This Baba made sense small. I agree, but I dont totally agree with him. Let me explain further.


Every Nigerian knows that our priority is fixing electricity. And every one knows that fixing corruption around it is the only way that can fix it.

OBJ fixed corruption around our banking system and telecoms, and its why we have those. I keep saying it that he knew he could fix it, and I guess it was the reason he tried the 3rd term agenda, but according to him, Atiku was his stumbling block. Anyway, that's Baba's kasala...na him saw Atiku and went for him. Abi no be so?

Tell me, who actually has shown us the roadmap of fixing it, or has something to show he can fix it? Bola only said...if I dont fix it, dont vote for me again. He too knows our priority is that thing. And has he done it? Nope. Obi went for an interview, and he couldn't say anything. Rufai Oseni his number 1 supporter who is a journalist had to call him out that he had nothing in his head. Lol. Atiku? Person wey wan destroy am more fit correct am? Kwankwaso.....lol.

None has no clue or idea how to do it. They think they know until they sit on the seat and realise that it is deeper than they thought.

Even Donald Duke that is talking here has not convinced me he has any solution.

I guess Tinubu saw it, and just diverted the whole money into what he can fix. Lol. . Chicago guy man go get something to campaign with na. He quickly called a master of builders in the works minister. Also, he made sure he got a good CBN person to fix what emewerey has damaged. Lol. And when Wale Edun refused to deliver, he upgraded his new discovery, his tax man. Lol. Just to put the bar above Buhari and at least maintain the foundation of what OBJ has built that Jonathan and Buhari didnt build well on the way they should.

As for me ooo, let him be sir. Donald Duke is one of the so called leaders we do not need. He's got nothing to offer us. We have seen what he offered Cross River and what the professor after him gave them. Im not that impressed. So, he should go siddon.

If he wants me to take him serious, he should show me that he can fix corruption around the power sector so that we can have the right policies there and fix it once and for all. Anything outside that, he should keep shut. Im pleased for now with the Lagos-Sokoto and lagos-Calabar roads. They will create more business ventures and opportunities. Our naira is getting stable a bit and out stock is the best performing in thw world right now. These are facts we are seeing with figures. If you dont see it, then you should learn economics and finance so that you also can engage well in such discussion and not be "follow follow".

If anyone is afraid to say how he will face and eradicate corruption around electricity, he cannot fix it. Gone are the days they can deceive us with "I dont want to reveal my strategy". Your secret strategy "kii" you there. Who you wan scope? Lol. Duke sef dey criticise. Let him talk how him wan do am sebi he is a presidential candidate. But nope. Dem no go talk am. Make he go siddon jare.

ghm:
I think Donald Duke should be enlightened enough to know better. The road will be a great achievement for the nation if it can be completed. That is one of the major reasons I want Tinubu to continue. All other politicians talk as if they wouldn't touch Tinubu's administrative initiatives – subsidy removal, unified forex, the Lagos–Calabar and Sokoto–Badagry roads, NELFUND, more funds for states and LGAs, ASUU resolution, oil industry interventions, etc. – if elected.

The question for Donald Duke is: does he think Cross River State could afford and sustain Tinapa when he embarked on it as governor? I wept the last time I heard about the state of his Tinapa.

We need a leader who will stretch and touch every aspect of governance – not one who will choose power and neglect roads, healthcare, and so on; or one who will save money and refuse to conduct LGA elections, or allow ASUU and medical officers' strikes to linger.

Ttalk:
Something is definitely wrong with the so called leaders from the South. Look at how he convinently left Badagry - Sokoto that benefit majorly the North to attack road that would directly impact the economy of the SS particularly where he comes from.

Calabar was once a capital city but how many development you can find in that part of the country? When will Calabar advance in development when the little thing that could enhance such development is being criticized by the leaders of that region?

The sophistication leader from the South attached to politics is so egocentric and regressively appauling.

Where was Donald Duke voice when Buhari and Amaechi were building railway to Maradi in Niger Republic. It is so sad that an average Southern politician will mortgage his region on the alter of politics, that's why many of them will always play second fiddle to the North and their elite

Gerrard59:
So it was Jonathan who initiated the infamous link to Maradi?

Damn it!
