And remind me, did the APC zone the presidency to the South West? No be as Tinubu contest dem Umahi also contest?

Chimaroke already addressed all of it in that tweet but trust those who want to criticise not to even read what they are criticising.

[color=royalblue]So, what is Chimaroke's advice?

The Igbos should support APC and if they win, wait for 16 years?

Or they should support PDP, and if they win, wait for 8 years?

Because all I see is a man telling us history in sets of 120 characters[/color]

Uber thread has entered the chat

GloriousGbola:
He sabi how to close road, start work, abandon for one month resume, abandon again and finally close one week job in 2 months

Under his watch they are now turning every corner to mechanic worship or market

Useless morafker.

[color=royalblue]FESTAC is really a shadow of its former self

I was there last week and mhen.....

This is not the Festac we took so much pride in[/color]

Itsrm:
I was going to tell theflint1 to buy one danfo and hit the road. To better understand drivers reality, he can take one on weekly rentals. He should come back to tell us what his experience is after one month.

[color=royalblue]I drove on Uber bro.

That money is peanuts. I go swim enter inside flooded estate for 700 naira trip

Then when the Wheel hub starts, 15k never solve the problem[/color]

Nezzjnr:
You are lucky ooi

Festac roads nowadays

[color=royalblue]I ran one way at Alakija last week

I wanted to post it here but it skipped my mind

3rd avenue junction to Police station is either you run a one way, or get a towing van to follow you behind.

That Valentine guy no sabi anything[/color]

Nezzjnr:
You dey Festac truly??

[color=royalblue]Nope

But I dey Lagos.

Anywhere is just a bus or a bike away[/color]

Nezzjnr:
No problem Bro

[color=royalblue]When una finish, abeg make una come buy me Beer and Fish for Full House.

E dey for 6th avenue

Na upstairs I dey like dey

Abeg [/color]

Itsrm:
Haha, I like how you guys are punching the numbers. You see, unlike you guys, I actually run a transportation business so I know better. Though its not in Lagos, I doubt there's much difference.

First, most of those drivers you see don't own the vehicles. How much of this thing you're punching actually goes to the pocket of the person doing the maintenance. It's still from this thing you're punching they'll pay lastma when they run foul of the law.

Lets talk about maintenance. One of the vehicles I use recently had engine issues. I spent almost 200k to rebuild it. That was all the car had given me in two and half months!

There are just so many variables that you guys are not considering. Who no go no know

[color=royalblue]I was about to type this.

It's all Extortion and Wickedness from the drivers until you buy your own car and hit the road.[/color]

Itsrm:
Afrodoc2 was not wrong. The guy has diagnosis. If I knew his family members, I'll advice they tie him down with a rope before he enters the street.

[color=royalblue]Wetin be this?[/color]

BlueRayDick:
I know, but these guys dey make money for Lagos so it's expected they spend the money in Lagos too. Most times na their reckless lifestyle dey make dem no dey make ends meet. Dem dey date women who sell in parks, dem.dey cancel bottles steady and dey gamble wella. These aforementioned vices would always be their albatross even if they earn tens of thousands daily.

[color=royalblue]But Ibadan drivers no dey drink, date women and gamble abi?

[/color]

BlueRayDick:
You probably haven't been to places like Ibadan, Ijebu and Co. You will be shocked how much they pay as transport fares in those places.

[color=royalblue]Ahn Ahn, bros

You can't compare the prices of Lagos to that of other places.

Even in US, Prices in New York would be different from Texas.

Cost of living here is high, so why should you use Ibadan price list for us?[/color]

BlueRayDick:
Maybe transportation is cheap in the part of Nigeria u live in; but transportation is not cheap in Lagos. The cheapest u pay from one bus stop to another in Lagos is ₦100.... I mean a bus stop to another which is trekkable within 5 mins.

[color=royalblue]How much you wan pay before?

30 naira?

[/color]

Itsrm:
Personally, I believe transportation is too cheap in this country making it difficult for drivers to properly maintain their cars.

If you want them to fix those vehicles and make it road worthy, you will also have to advocate for an increase of fares.

I even heard commercial vehicles were exempted from this test the LASG conducts before issuing road worthiness certificate.

The government probably knows its either they exempt them or they all won't be able to get the certificate which will in turn cause another crisis.

[color=royalblue]Another angle

But then, we need to get past this rickety vehicles in the 22nd century[/color]

[color=royalblue]Na so so traffic go full everywhere on Saturday.

Any rainmaker contact, please?

Even at that, immediately Ayu became National Chairman, they had to make sure the no 2 person is from the South.

It is lack of foresight that makes them give the North the no 1 and no 2 position in the party.

[color=royalblue]If Wike had won the ticket, with a Southerner as Chairman, Tinubu would have won by December, because it would look like a Southern party.

He did the right thing, but Atiku got to the finish line first[/color]

larride:
You know when the idea of BRT started to phase out Molue then, it was those same drivers and NURTW personnel that was given first consideration to be in charge of the buses and see what they turned it into before a new model was introduced and Primero was won the bidding.

[color=royalblue]I think its time the government begins to take some of these stuffs seriously

If they would not fix their vehicles and make it road worthy, they should be ready to collect a Hire purchase from the government.

Let all these scraps of iron that we call commercial buses leave us once and for all[/color]

Itsrm:
He's trying to be clever by half. If APC continues to win over the next 50 years, is he saying PDP must continue to zone the presidency to the North because the last one was from the South?

Let's not forget that it was this same Atiku who worked against Jonathan in 2015 because it was the turn of the North. So it was the turn of the North in 2015, their turn in 2019, their turn in 2023 and their turn forever.

[color=royalblue]That is why Pa Adebanjo made sense with his speech. With the political parties, there won't be equity

If BAT loses to Atiku, APC would not present a Southerner as a flag bearer after 8 years. It would be a Northerner. So, would you say the APC in the south is wrong if they ask for the ticket after 8 years?

But if we make it a law to Zone, every party would have to look for his candidate in that Zone. That sounds more fair.

BlueRayDick:
May they sail and not capsize o

[color=royalblue]Ameeeennn.

Itsrm:
I am talking about the PDP presidential primary. It should have been zoned. If it was, it would have been zoned to the south because the North had it in 2019.

Atiku knew this and made sure the zoning was jettisoned.

[color=royalblue]We are talking about Ayu first. I'm glad you know that has been settled.

I totally agree it should be zoned to the South. But Atiku's defence was that PDP's last president was from the South. So, he's in line to ask for it to go to the North.

How do you settle this matter?[/color]

Itsrm:
The constitution also states that party and elective offices MUST be zoned. Why was the presidential primaries thrown open and not zoned?

Those who are shouting consitution now were the same people who jettisoned the constitution. They are used to always having their way and bending that same constitution when it favours them.

Unfortunately for them, this time, they have met their match.

[color=royalblue]The elective office must be zoned when A TENURE FINISHES.

Has Ayu's tenure finished? No

So why should it be zoned? Or Buhari should resign and zone the seat to SE without handing over to Osibanjo?

Is this your take, sir?[/color]

BlueRayDick:
It’s really annoying .

Her husband bought APC Presidential ticket for 100m and lost scandalously . They could’ve added another 100m to that money, buy 4 fairly used passenger boats like the one below; paint the boat in whatever color and commission it. People would praise them and it would make much sense than this nonsense .

[color=royalblue]Was she not the one in a trending video sharing bundles of cash to security men?

Well, dem go still vote him husband stooge when the time comes.

I no dey stay Kogi state. Make dem paddle their canoe well[/color]

Itsrm:
The cable also reported this.

https://www.thecable.ng/wike-asks-court-declare-him-winner-of-pdp-primary-disqualify-atiku/amp

https://www.thecable.ng/wike-people-advised-me-to-go-for-senate-after-pdp-presidential-primary-loss-updated/amp

Both were confirmed to be false. Even they have edited the story in the second link.

What we have now is Ortom in a video professing his unwavering support for Wike and for the PDP to do the right thing.

When you have a video of him saying he wants Ayu to stay, we can come back to this

[color=royalblue]If Ayu resigns, the PDP constitution says his deputy should take over. And Ayu's deputy is a Northerner

Hope you know that's the right thing? Instead of supporting Wike to give it to the SW, which the constitution doesn't allow?[/color]

BlueRayDick:
One of the 3 “her excellencies “ of Kogi State; Alhaja Rashida Bello donates wooden canoes to the good people of Kogi state

[color=royalblue]These guys can't even bring out money and do something presentable for once.

How much will it cost to meet John Holt and construct a passenger boat with a speed engine?

Africa has serious problems[/color]

Itsrm:
He said so? I wasn't aware. You fit share the video?

[color=royalblue]When the agenda no favour person, e go begin ask of various modes of proof.

If you see picture, you ask for link
If you see link, you ask for video
If you see video, you ask for live streaming


I understand my oga

Manage this link first. If you no agree, we go need wait till Judgement day for live recordings[/color]

and THAT is how you slowly and surely phase out danfo - by killing the economic viability.

if the metro line can be economically viable and properly maintained - why would i drive to marina when i can take a ride there?

[color=royalblue]I really don't want them to kill it. because a lot of people make their living from there.

There should be a cooperative and thrift package for them. And that's why I am always angry with NURTW and the other one.

There should be a way for us to get rid of 70s model buses and use newer models, albeit Chinese.

[/color]

GloriousGbola:
E sweet die. No more one hour to link mile 2. No more 15 to 20 minutes of zero movement. Traffic robber economy in the mud. With this, I can link my old office in 30 minutes. Possibly (not sure) to also return same way.

[color=royalblue]Gradually, Mile 2 traffic would reduce drastically.

Once that rail commences, together with the BRT, most of the commuters would abandoned those rickety LT buses. And those buses are part of the problems too.

So it would automatically relocate most of them to another route. Maybe Mile 2 to Agbara.

So, we know it's only containers and tankers that is our headache[/color]

work is also going on to link festac from second rainbow to both lagos badagry expressway and apapa oshodi expressway

those who think projects are completed in 30 seconds and other associated bad belle people should not blow gasket and return to psych ward

[color=royalblue]A sweet way to get to Apapa from Festac

From Second rainbow, climb the bridge to Alaba, then fire down to Ijora.

I should start planning to enjoy my beloved Apapa again [/color]

Donjazet2:
