No, Igdos' contribution in Lagos is more, in fact they are afraid to invest up North, but in Lagos they are more comfortable; hence diverse investments. All the same, let's see if your man's voice will be heard or not.

see your problem? you guys can only make noise where your nuisances are tolerated, las las those nuisances will be treated properly in the nearest future.

JAMO84:
Your plan no go work. you, vote APC? When Obi will be on the same ticket with Atiku?

if APC presents osinbajo, PDP stands no chance even if they import angels from heaven. The current VP has both national and especially international appeal, even the likes of Facebook and Google could break their rules to campaign for the guy.

This obaseki sef

romenna:
As the Vice President of Nigeria, he is duty bound to congratulate obaseki just like his boss buhari.
But because of parochial and tribal sentiments, u have become blind to rationality.
See u in 2023

you can blackmail him for all you care, the man has more national appeal than any VP ever, reason he too is a nightmare to you all. bring on your candidate, we dey wait

romenna:
I sincerely admire osinbajo prior to this moment but for the fact that he refused to congratulate obaseki shows he takes orders from tinubu and I detest that a lot.

shebi you folks say he is a mere commissioner nah, is he now important to you? hypocrites

richiemcgold:
at least for once, Lagos should just try another party. It does not necessarily have to be PDP.

what about Enugu, can't they try another party too

sangresan:
Na mumu dey worry you guys....Inciting south southerners and south easterners in Lag against Abiru will only lead to a needless sectarian strife. Tinubu didn't play ethnicity cards in his campaign for Iyamu...So it will be senseless for Makinde and Obaseki to campaign for Gbadamosi based on the stated gimmick..

this is my issue with pdp, if care is not taken, they will set yoruba land on fire with this senseless politics of setting non yorubas against yorubas. The igbos themselves are always willing pawns in this dirty game, when it backfires on them they will cry foul, meanwhile the fools who incite them don't live in Lagos.

OPPPS:
Anambra1son. The idiot will rather blame Tinubu than accepting the decay in his state.

He will be back to tell you Anambra has the richest individuals in Nigeria

StaffofOrayan:
I have been on NL for a while and I have never come across a thread on igbos tackling their leaders

this thread no go pass 4 pages, if it reaches 5, na miracle. But if it elsewhere, chai e go reach 20. They will never mind their business but others. I give it to the few igbos who try to paint the real picture of the SE, they are the real mvp

Ogbuu101:
Obiano is associating with Buhari, so it's not a surprise he has turned to a failure.

how buhari enter this matter again

djon78:
Tinubu can never be the president of Nigeria

Absolutely impossible
Because heaven has certified that it will never be possible

Na u be heaven abi, mumu

How will the do it with their hijab

Jaqenhghar:
You never see. Go to Kano. Kano is the global headquarters of open defecation. In southwest they wait for night to do their business. In Kano in broad day light both old and young, male and female. Nowhere is off limits. Round about , pubilc parks...... any uncompleted building you see is a public toilet.

The irony is if you stand to pee by the road they will hurl stones at you and call you infidel but if you squat to pee or shít, its allowed.

haba

gulfer:
I thought some peoples aid open defeacation only happens in the Southwest

dem no dey do shot put for other parts of Nigeria?

Meanwhile this is a state that has also been ruled by a single party since 1999 and nah this kind news dem they feed us with. Dem never ripe for otoge things?

FEGNO:
I believe Obaseki is wise enough to know when to apply the brakes on the Tinubu/Oshiomole matter. But who, in a wrestling match lifts up his opponent only to throw him onto a mattress? All acclaimed Generals from the time of Alexander to the great Ceaser and Napoleon. When you smell victory is the time to press your advantage and then be able to gain a greater concession.

Bible in the book of proverbs says a fool uttereth or speak all his mind. Obaseki is not wise, any move against oshiomole will win his former boss sympathy like he himself got when had issues with his boss which is what he has used to get reelected. Sometimes you keep quiet and finish off your battle or opponent quietly. That's how great and courageous leaders are

Ajibel:
You can imagine ooo

One said they'll rather vote in a pig than APC

We too in Lagos, we'll rather vote in a fulani cow than PDP

In summary pdp may soon unction Abia for sale in the international market, china will be a good buyer I think

zedman1:
That's the funny thing bro, you guys from outside Benue praise him because you don't really know him. You love him because whenever a topic or situation everyone hates comes up, he comes up to champion such course e.g Fulani matter, water bill, party propaganda etc. He's such a smooth talker who rides solely on sentiments and the gulliblity of the masses, particularly you guys outside the state. Come to Benue and shout those words you wrote up there and see what will happen to you. I repeat, he's the worst we've ever had in history..... I'm from Benue by the way, so it's not about me asking but it's about you asking us and knowing the devil of a man he is. Don't just love a colossal failure for sake of the Party he belongs to.

Don't mind them, when ortom was in APC and the fulani herdsmen were running riot, they hated him because he was APC even wike then abused and mocked him with the killings going on then, but immediately he switched to pdp even with the same fulani crisis he became the beautiful bride.

We no well for naija I tell u

fof1:
NO PLS. HE SHOULD BE MERCIFUL. HE HAS GOTTEN WHAT HE WANTS. HE SHOULD TREAD SOFTLY,PLS AND MIND HIS BUSINESS WITH FOCUS ON HIS JOB...

Truth is that is what most 2nd term governors do, fight with their enemies throughout

989900:
Politicians . . . las,Las, they will soon be frolicking together. #guymen

Abi o by the time the deputy want to be governor he go settle with im former boss oshiomole.

after collecting 1 billion naira covid funds from FG, issorite

Racoon:
In so much that that is true, Obaseki should stay clear of senseless political bickering & face governance that Edo people have given him to exercise.Pride can also destroy him.

leave him, shebi after his tenure, he will have a constitutional role too

GreatCracker:
The hate on his person is just to obsessive that you'll be thinking what would have happened should he have held any position in either the state or federal government.
Damn. Sometimes the way we treat successful people in this part of the world really makes me wonder if truly I'll like to be successful.
Like the envy and toxic jealousy is so tick it could even starch a cloth.

in this part of the world, when you are successful legitimately, you simply hide yourself, reason folks hide themselves in the inner high brow estates in Lagos. You can never see even the likes of adenuga just anywhere. I feel so sorry at times for these politicians as their private lives are non existent, always out there for the whole world to see your entire unclothedness.

maxzzo1:
Guys pls watch the video first cos nothing of such, like what the headline is saying....

did he say anything different? even if oshio misbehaves he saying he will show no mercy suggests use of violence [something he accuses oshio for] in quelling his former boss. The man is really a very stubborn guy, is there need for that after just winning an election? has eminent nigerians not advised him to be gracious in victory?

I can just assume PMB saying this, social media will be on fire but as usual we are all hypocrite as it's our thief vs their thief thing naim be our politics

cptjacksparrow:
Why it's hard to beat him at the grassroot level especially is because everyone plays politics of interest, some people wants to control road transport, he gives them road transport, some people wants waste management, he gives them waste management,some wants lands (omo onile), they have it, so when he needs them to work for him they are rootless about it. He's very smart about picking his governorship candidates, he goes for non politicians who will not be able to win over the state legislators appointed by him, you know he picks the house of assembly members himself to checkmate the governors whenever they are becoming stubborn. If not for the unlawful way obaseki handled the state assembly situation do you think Oshiomole's boys wouldn't have impeached him successfully, Obaseki would have become history in Edo politics but in the case of Lagos, he picked them them himself to ensure their won't be a rebellion on the part of the governor. For road transport, that's the biggest tool he exploed to plant his foot soldiers in every nook and cranny of Lagos, they use the for ballot box snatching, distribution of cash during election, intimidation generally. But Lagosians are getting tired of his gimmicks he will be humbled in his life time.

all what you have said shows you guys have no ideas or better alternative on Lagos matters. Let me help you more by saying you have just described tinubu as someone very good in stakeholders management, something most Nigerian governors lack hence the reason we are not seeing much development like we see in Lagos.

Tinubu strategy is simple, try and bring as much people from the lower class into the middle class by giving them much opportunities and they keep your party in power. The Lagos state civil service work force is enough to swing votes for the party. Any party trying to win must really work hard as it won't be easy. There is also a strong synergy between the govt, apc and the corporate or private sector. Lagos is too complex, Jimi tried with his younger brother GTB's backing but still a hard nut to crack. But sure nothing lasts forever but the present edo euphoria is too small to crack Lagos for now.

crunchyDope:
boss abeg no vex, am from delta state ..biko tell me werin okowa don do for delta state...even the uduaghan bus when dey give us cheap transportation ..the guy sell am...the traffic lights when uduaghan do the guy no maintain am...na jobs he provide? abeg just let me know, cos even d road he do don spoil unlike the one uduaghan do (example is ovwian) them still dey.. so abeg let me know...no be for mouth or paper abeg point am make i happy

wow is this how horrible these ss governors are? uan dey try, I hail

will he be governor forever? even the tinubu they abuse will not talk in this manner, hypocrites

Ajibel:


LOL That's why I like posing the question to them to let us know what they've got to offer besides there so called liberation for Lagos.

But they'll keep dodging the question and parotting the Lagos-must-be-free anthem without anything concrete to offer.

This hate on Lagos state is just something I can't understand. A state who for the past 15 years has been the yardstick of development for other states in Nigeria is what some people wish to see fall / collapse.

they want access to Lagos treasury and plunder it like their shithole states

this is why most of these politicians can't achieve much always jumping from one party to another

jidamsel43:
Most of APC Governors supported Obaseki re-election .

Ondo state gubernatorial election will be a smooth ride for APC because the party is united in the state.

and you think the other gang cannot act as spoilers?

GreatCracker:
What's it with this obsession on Tinubu whenever there any conversation that concerns governance.
The last time I check, the man is a private citizen and doesn't hold any post in either the state or federal government.
All these hate on this man just goes to show how we detest successful people in this part of the world. Well he's a big politician, who's has not only succeeded in the games of politics but has also succeeded in the business aspect of politics, his influence, personality and achievements can only be a dream to many of those "no ideology" driven politicians scattered accross the country.

One thing I know for certain is that no amount of hate can take away his achievements.

You said it all. If Dangote enter politics today, e own go worse pass tinubu as he will be termed the most greedy of all after chopping all the money in business We detest very powerful folks, that's how we are in Africa

tollyboy5:
The elections are not about parties its about individual. Tinubu as person has begin to decline politically. They had issue at Oyo state also at osun state. Thats how things start, they single handedly manipulated democracy and removed ambode , instead of giving the platform to hamzat they installed a puppet. We are not blind in Lagos we are waiting for the right time..
His wife went third time for senate but the senator from Lagos east was declined third term just after he supported ambode. Tinubu has forgotten he's from osun state. He his stepping on the toes of natives. And time would tell

let them form their political party or use any existing one and challenge him, stop the excuses and go to work

tollyboy5:
Don't be an hypocrite tinubu is not equivalent to awolowo. Since he left office he has been contributing negatively to the state. [b]I'm living in Lagos and I see Lagos backwardness. [/b]Does tinubu live in ajegunle, ajangbadi, epe, mushin, alaba , eyin osa. Have gone to places around Lagos?
How does my hustle determine the irresponsibility of a ruling party. Is Lagos only within the island?
Why do people think shallow like this. Do you know how much Lagos generate?
How has the money been put to work if not sponsoring political empire. As far as i live in Lagos I'm feeling the heat.

do you guys know the meaning of backwardness? which school una go, which city in this world does not have slums, because BBC or CNN does not show you the slums of London or New York. Please be educated, there will always be different categories of people anywhere in this world and folks I know have migrated from those slums you mentioned to places like lekki and Ikoyi after changing levels, which govt in any world makes people millionaires? is not hard work and privileges that distinguishes people? The slums in Lagos will be there as rural-urban migration and population increases. were the slums not there in the days of Awolowo and all other past leaders, can you say the Lagos before 1999 unless you are too young to know is more developed than the lagos of today? abeg find another excuse
