Its not good for one to be blinded by the truth.

yes it is. yet the same Lagos is light years ahead of your cities.

your brothers can't dream of making it big without Lagos in their dreams. keep hating and blaming others for your generational poverty

seguno2:
Credible link to the National Population Commission, NPC website
Or what other credible source can there be apart from NPC?

why not find the NPC website and show me a different 2018 estimate instead of wailing like a widow? I'll be waiting from a different figure from NPC

obataokenwa:
I totally understand with you and be sure I expected all your rantings. Journey of no return...IQ is ur new found language and I totally know how it feels learning a new word...lest I forget, clown is the second

says the man who thinks tinubu is to blame for his generational poverty

tell us how tinubu is responsible and he goes mute

seguno2:
How can census data be a matter of opinion?
You see why you have comprehension issues
The 2006 census population of Lagos state is less than Kano state. That is the fact. Deal with it.

Lagos grows at the rate of over 1.5m people yearly. by the end of this year which is just 4+months away Lagos will have a pop of 25m people. I gave you a credible link. you can stop crying now

obataokenwa:
My brother, if not your own way, every other way is rubbish. Continue...

you are just another bitter clown.

you saw a poor woman selling something in traffic with a baby on her back and you concluded tinubu has enslaved her. you blamed tinubu for her poverty. you also blamed tinubu for the predicament of the man that has been selling fruit in oshodi for six years.
I've asked you several times how's tinubu responsible for both but you can't provide an answer.

it's safe to conclude you are just another wailer with a room temperature IQ.

seguno2:
If you don’t have comprehension issues, please provide the source of the 25m Lagos population census.
The last census of 2006 gave Lagos state less than 10m behind Kano state. In the 2015 elections, almost double the number of voters in Lagos voted in Kano.
So stop your fake news of 25m Lagosians if you have no credible source to back it up

lol so you really believe Lagos is less populated than Kano? your ignorance is factory fitted. well here's the 2018 estimate

Predicting the 2018 population of Lagos is not easy but we can get the idea after analysing the population from the year 2013 – 17. As we have seen that each year the population increases by approximate 1.42 Million people. To conclude it, the population of Lagos in 2018 is estimated to be 22 Million + 1.42 Million = 23.42 Million. The population in the year 2018 for Lagos is 23.42 Million.
Lagos Population 2018 –23.42 Million

and how does difference in opinion of estimated population figures mean comprehension issues? you are a clown

obi58:
I don't know why you feel you need to be antagonistic and plain rude to make a point. Speaking about issues, you clearly have a major issue with expressing yourself civilly without resorting to insults like an uncouth person.

Yes you guys were digressing from the topic of the thread with you resorting as usual to your stock in trade insults on an inconsequential tangent which was why I intervened with facts to draw your attention back to the major bone of contention: The Lagos light rail project.

If you can't comprehend that, then who then has the comprehension issues?

we digressed and who made you the mod? I said you have comprehension issues and that is absolutely right cos you were busy taking the argument you weren't even part of to another direction. I didn't insult you in anyway. I only called a spade a spade so how am I not being civil?

digression or not people have the right to debate whatever angle of the news they want.

so you spammed my mention with your unwanted links to call my attention back to a conversation I purposely digressed from?
you are not as intelligent as you are trying so hard to appear

obi58:
Can you argue without resorting to insults?

Did I insult you?

Let's try to have a civilized discussion please.

saying you have comprehension issues is not an insult. it's the outright truth.

we are talking about poor lagosians and you are talking about completion date of the light rail and the money spent on it so far. you missed the point

emerged01:
He has no point! This thread is talking about railway,he is talking about hawkers.

they always use every opportunity to blame tinubu/buhari for all the problems in the world

ifiokjohn:
sir bayesa will get better little by little, akwa ibom was not like this 10 years ago and today it is one of the fastest growing state in the country if not the fastest already.

hopefully the state will develop soon

they only need to elect the right governor once and things will fall in place

ifiokjohn:
well nothing consign me wit lagos, Thank God say my state akwa ibom is developing and udom can be rated among the top four governors in Nigeria and i can beat my chest anywhere and say udom is better than ambode in all ramification.

yes. I did business in akwa ibom for over a year (early 2014-late 2016) and I know the state is developing. but what do we say about states like bayelsa with high allocation and nothing to show for it?

obataokenwa:
Lagos keeps getting worse. Right now, I will jump and pass this

don't jump and pass o.

thousands of people move to Lagos from all over the country daily. do you want tinubu to build an office at the toll gate where such people will be given money for proper business? or you want tinubu to employ them?

how is tinubu wicked cos you saw a woman selling something is hold up?

I stayed in cross River and akwa ibom. akwa ibom collects more from FG than Lagos and people still sell things in traffic.

how is tinubu wicked? how did he enslave them?

obataokenwa:
Lagos keeps getting worse. Right now, I will jump and pass this

Lagos keeps getting worse because when your brothers finish secondary school in isi alangwa they take the next bus to Lagos with big dreams of building a mansion after 5yrs of hustling in Lagos. after a year of hustling and hunger reality gives them a hard knock on the head and they start selling gala and fruits in hold up. but you see them and conclude tinubu is responsible for their predicament.

how did tinubu enslave them? how is tinubu responsible for their poverty? can LASG provide jobs for 25m people?

GuyfawkesAB:
It's obvious you reason from the hole behind your bum. If the useless mem who are the governors in your state and others were half as smart as Bola Tinubu or Fashola, there won't be such women as the example you gave trying to make ends meet in Lagos.
You should instead be grateful that Laos has at least provided an opportunity for all those who come to make something out of their lives. Left to the bastards that rules over your states, many people would have died by now

God bless you!!! they want to come to Lagos without any concrete plan but they want to live like kings when they get here. when poverty comes knocking with the high cost of living they start blaming tinubu like he dragged them down from their state

obataokenwa:
I won't go into reasonable talk with you until you stop abusing someone before or after u make ur point.

ok sir. I'm sorry I took shots at you.

pls how is tinubu responsible for the poverty of the man that has been selling fruits in oshodi for 6yrs? did you interact with the poor man? did tinubu steal his inheritance? did tinubu enslave him? did you bother to find out his qualifications?

transformed:
The point he is trying to make is that under Tinubu Lagos population was about 7-9 million but due to bad leadership over the years in many other states especially in southern Nigeria, over 20 million some said over 27 million. people leave their home states for Lagos after college nowadays like they are traveling abroad. Effort to give Lagos special status was overwhelmingly voted down by the same legislatures that voted 1% of Nations budget to Borno and its environs. With federal government allocation equivalent to Ondo, and 1/4 of Akwa ibom, hoe do you expect Lagos to effectively manage 1/6 of country's population? How do you expect infrastructure that was projected to serve between 7-9 million effectively serve 25 million people?

thank you!!! they cry tinubu is a thief but Lagos takes care of 25m people while bayelsa with small population and high allocation is not getting any kind of infrastructure!!!

they are so busy blaming tinubu that they don't even criticise their own governors anymore.

even when he can't "catch babe" or he proposed and the babe says no he'll still blame tinubu

obi58:
I believe you read this report about phase one of just 3km being ready by 2022. This is for a project that till date has gulped close to if not over 1bn dollars.

https://www.nairaland.com/4672706/lagos-light-rail-commence-operation

1. In 2016, $200M was granted as world bank loan for this same project - https://www.businessdayonline.com/business-economy/article/200m-world-bank-loan-is-for-execution-of-lagos-light-rail-project-lai-mohammed/

2. This 'project' has been ongoing for 10 years! - https://guardian.ng/saturday-magazine/cover/a-decade-after-lagos-rail-project-still-crawling/


3. In 2014, $981M was borrowed from the world bank for the same project

4. The same blue line was supposed to be operation in 2016 - So 'project' is late by 2 years, even though we were told by the commissioner of transport it was 95% complete - https://www.vanguardngr.com/2018/04/lagos-blue-line-rail-95-completed-says-commissioner/

uncle you have comprehension issues!!!

the argument I have with him is not about the light rail.

he saw a woman with a baby on her back selling in traffic and he concluded lagosians are poor and suffering. he went on to say tinubu has enslaved them.

and another man has been selling fruits in oshodi for six years and he also blamed tinubu for the man's predicament.


the question I'm asking him is simple. can Lagos state employ and provide adequately for almost 25m people that left different states to come and stay in Lagos?

how is tinubu responsible for the predicament of the man that has been selling fruits in oshodi for 6yrd? did tinubu steal the man's inheritance and enslave him too?

obataokenwa:
Lagos is everything that made Nigeria a bad country. So what really can we say tinubu is?

it seems your IQ is very low.

even in the US/Canada/Germany that are role model countries in human development and good governance there are poor people on the road. no one blames Merkel for every single poor man on the road.

yes the country is hard but there are road side traders in those countries I mentioned too. so how is tinubu responsible for the man's poverty? stop avoiding the key question. let me type it in caps for you.


HOW DID YOU CONCLUDE TINUBU IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE POVERTY OF THE RANDOM POOR MAN YOU SAW ON THE ROAD. PLS TELL US!!!

obataokenwa:
Lagos is getting worst and nothing to show. Its normal for people in Lagos to abuse people...one of the symptoms of Lagosians

stop making a fool of yourself if you can't point out the evil in poor people struggling and you blaming tinubu for it.

Nigerians from all over migrate to a tiny state. 20m people love in the small state

the tiny state collects 10b on the average from the FG monthly and makes 30b from IGR.

yes tinubu is a godfather but he transformed Lagos and made it what it is today.

even in states like akwa ibom/bayelsa/delta with small population and large revenue we don't blame the governor or godfather for every poor people you see on the road. you see poor people on the road and you blame tinubu. can LASG employ and pay 20+m people monthly?

how is tinubu to blame for the poor man selling fruit in oshodi for years? did tinubu steal his inheritance?

obataokenwa:
I pity those that praise sing Lagos State Govt with all this pictures. One need to go close and see that in the next ten years this project can never see fruition.
The rate of traffic around this areas towards Agbara can make one die untimely. U be in a car and see a woman with a baby at her back selling finger battery and one begin to wonder how she will eventually eat for that day.
Lagos under Tinubu is still slavery and please this sudden afternoon pictures should be ignored as those areas are death traps. By this time, people are trekking like Fulani herdsmen and their cows.

so tinubu is the one that enslaved them? tinubu is the one responsible for their poverty? tinubu should have created jobs to sustain 20m people. you are a clown

Biglittlelois:
No suprise there, these politicians think we all are fools, we've heard that before, buhari also said he would do just one term in 2014, look where we are today


The bbq guy is back people, braze up for more zombie rants

buhari didn't say he will do one term in 2014. you have serious comprehension issues.

what buhari said in 2011 was that he won't run in 2015 and he ran in 2015. there is a big difference between the two statements

Sharpshooota:
Go ahead and worship the Fulani caliphate

Cone heads everywhere

so if you want to worship someone he'll come to your house? is it the king that goes to the subject's house? your illiteracy is follow come
