If PH was as small as Ikeja, you no go see sand for road.
[color=royalblue]I no argue with that one.

I'm just saying you cannot say Lagos is dirty and use only PH as the specimen.

Not fair to Tinubu, and the good people of Lagos state.[/color]

But Ikeja road users dey orderly pass PH road users sha. I see people dey follow one way for front of Road safety checkpoint for PH I shock grin. Dem no dey obey traffic rules for PH, so we use that one pass them.

Though it's been a while I've gone outside of PH but I doubt anything has changed.
[color=royalblue]The local government that shares a boundary with Owerrenta in Imo state (I have forgotten the name), what is neat about that place? grin

Like i said, PH should be compared to Ikeja, and I can bet you, Ikeja would be neater.

Lagos is dirty, is us rating the whole state. If you want to rate PH, put it side by side with Ikeja.

If there’s Seyi Tinubu , Gbaja , Hamzat and Obasa on the ballot for Lagos APC primary in 2027; One thing that is very sure is that Obasa won’t get the ticket whether he shows his hands early or late .

Except Obasa will kill all the Lagos GAC members before 2027 , his governorship ambition is dead on arrival .

The only issue Seyi might have is the fact that he’s a practicing Christian while dem Gbaja, Hamzat and Obasa are Muslims . Although Seyi might as well just hide under his dad’s religion but everybody knows he’s a Christian in real life . So it will be interesting to see whether a Christian(Seyi) will be allowed to take over from another Christian governor (Sanwoolu)

But I think Hamzat and Ghaja have more chances than Obasa if Seyi decides not to be on the ballot .

In fact, I make bold to say that Obasa has a higher chances of ending up with EFCC case by 2027 than clinching the governorship ticket in Lagos .

Hamzat was to be after Ambode. As Ambode comot, dem use Sanwo-Olu take complete that quota

I think Obasa wants to jump on the Indigenes good book early.

I know that 2027 would be difficult for any party that wants to field a non indigene. The real Lagosians don dey make noise, and the earlier they are pacified, the better

Because even our sperm cells know that Hamzat was supposed to be next. Na Ambode make Sanwo-Olu come out.[/color]

If FG under Tinubu is able to extradite him , that will be a big win. It will just show that Buhari and his AGF Malami were just playing to the gallery all this while .

Already I am warming towards Fagbemi for how he quickly handled the embarrassing situation of those minors in court . If Ekpa is successfully extradited, that will be another feather to his hat.
[color=royalblue]The same thing happened to Kanu naa.

Extradite him. Keep him in Kuje, and then back and forth court apperances, till he becomes a hero.

Izzou you're right about the situation of things back then; Sound Sultan sang Jagbajanyis Idris AbdulKareem sang Jaga-Jaga that led to his exile, African China sang Mr. President, BlackFace sang Hardlife- all these were within same timeframe lamenting about the situation of things as at then
[color=royalblue]Lol

If you tell me OBJ's or anybody's era is better than today, I definitely agree

If you say people were enjoying then and happy, fat lie..

I travelled to Yenogoa in February 2023, and i remember the driver filling his tank with 18,000. Right there, in that vehicle, we were lamenting the high cost of fuel. I paid 15,000 for that trip.

Today, 15,000 cannot buy you a ticket to Benin.

Basically, we can say the past was better, because we are seeing worse..Not because we were enjoying.

There was never a time, Nigerians applauded any government for making the economy lucrative.

As at then, we suffered[/color]

Can you be exact on what people complained about then? I can tell you with certainty that in the East, people complained mostly about their governors, not the president. Do you think people were complaining about food when a loaf of bread can maintain the same price for two years or more? Do you see people complain that rice, beans, corn, yam, potatoes etc is too expensive?

I can confirm that for any Nigerian who worked hard enough, food becomes the least of their problem. For example, a Mason laborer in 2007 can make 1,800 daily. He can spend N300 on food for the day given that Bread and Akara was N50 and Pepsi N30. He could even decide to spend 400 on beer and pepper soup in the evening and save 1,100. In less than 2 weeks, he can buy a bag of rice and have change.

Today, same laborer makes 8k daily pay but will complain, not about DSTV subscription, price of data subscription, cost of beer or pepper soup etc but cost of basic food he used to afford with ease.

So I ask again, please, can you be exact on what people complained about?
[color=royalblue]So as at 2007, no laborer was complaining about Nigeria and food prices abi?

They all woke up everyday, took their Oshuka and headpans and sang 'O happy day' as they marched to the site, because the pay was good, ba?

The reason why it looks good in 2007, is because you have a more terrible condition in 2024.

As at 2007, Nigerians complained of hardship. Or can you show me any link to where Nigerians clapped for any president as lessening their burdens?

I can litter here with links of us lamenting back to back.[/color]

yes you are right

obj actually told nigerians to bash his photo

soludo lowered the naira

because of this, rather than buy a 2004 model pilot, i bought a 2002 model. i was cursing soludo then

and yes osho baba was the hero who was taking on obj when obj was reducing subsidy

personally i think yardua was teh beginning of teh regression - but he dies in office so he gets a pass

he reversed or abandoned multiple obj initiatives like sale of refineries and investment in power sector

when obj increased proice of petrol stella chose this time to announce she was the only one who should use title of first lady in nigeria.

there was a collective wtf - your husband is hammering us and you are capping on first lady title.
[color=royalblue]You can compare OBJ with other presidents and see that his time was better.

But for me, it's more of "the lesser hardship" than "a better economy"

At what time did Nigerians live happy in this country? Every time, we lamented. Every bleeping tenure.

That salary you earned in the past, that has more value today? You lamented..It was not easy then.[/color]

There's this yoruba proverb that says, "ti obinrin ko ba dan Ile oko meji wo, ko ni mo eyi to daa ni be"

We were complaining then but truth is, we were enjoying. We just didn't realise it.

Let's just pray as you have said that we won't look back 5 years from now and say we were enjoying now. Surviving will be hell by that time.
cheesy cheesy cheesy

[color=royalblue]As at then, living in it, we were not.

Last year, I applied for a dollar card and bought dollars from Aboki at 830...I remember how i was cussing under my breath. Today, it is 1700+

Every part of me today wants the 830 to come back, but as at then, it was hell....The same feeling the 1700+ is.

Comparing OBJ to other presidents shows h was better, but Nigeria was not any form of heaven, as we lived it then...It is not true.

By 2034, you will see people tell us how Tinubu even tried to keep dollar at 1700...[/color]

We lamented less than we did during the military when OBJ took over. Infact the level of lamentation was dropping during the time of OBJ.
That shows progression.
We lamented more after apc took over.
That shows regression.
Like I said, your point doesn't stand.
You picked the worst president
[color=royalblue]True..Nigerians were so so happy when OBJ ruled.

I don't even see why you people are crucifying Popi. He didn’t say APC was good.

But I can agree with him that we cried as usual when OBJ was there. Factos. Fuel was 22 naira, and Nigerians wailed.

Today, we see that 22 naira as bliss.[/color]

But OBJ was better than the military he inherited from.

So that destroys your argument about hin
[color=royalblue]I was not making argument about OBJ or Military

I am simply telling you that as at 1999 to 2007, Nigerians lamented.

2007 to 2015, we lamemted and we preferred the previous regime

2015 to 2023, the same happened

Just 2 years later, Buhari seems to be a loving and caring man.

By 2032, you will come here and tell us Tinubu was not that wicked.[/color]

Was Yaradua worse than Obasanjo? And before you say he didn't stay long, he was there for three years. In comparison, Tinubu didn't need one year to bring us where we are today.
[color=royalblue]My point is that you now see that period as "Enjoyment", because you are in a worse one..But the truth is we lamented then.

Or are you telling me Nigerians were all happy when OBJ and GEJ ruled. No...We cried.

I am not saying APC is good. Nigeria has never been better. The worse it gets, the more we pray for us to go back to Egypt.

I have heard people say Buhari is better than Tinubu. But we all wailed for 8 years, abi?[/color]

Should we compare the value of 350k in OBJ's tenure with that of tinubu?
[color=royalblue]And that is the problem I see here.

The reason why OBJ's time is good, is because there is a "Worse" to compare it with.

I was a child then, but we complained. Our parents complained. We thought and knew we deserved better.

Was it not OBJ's time that made Oshiomole a hero with his numerous strikes, especially for fuel increment?

Nigeria has always been bad. The only constant K is that, for every new tenure, the previous one becomes better

20 years from now, children today will tell you Buhari was good, afterall, he left fuel at 200, and they are buying it 2,837/ltr[/color]

Well, the general is on camera so something may come out of it. A very very hard maybe here. But in the right hands the man will go viral like the senator. But that is where it will end.

The only time a soldier got in trouble was when naval ratings attached to an admiral beat the daughter of a general in vi in the 2000s. At the time no one knew she was a generals daughter. Likely why the situation escalated if you think about it.
[color=royalblue]There was another one that Fashola, a sitting governor then, took the matter up.

They beat her because she didn't leave the road for their motorcade to pass.
