■ Marwa did his beat I agree but Lagos needed a visionary leader who could harness the potential of the state for even more development......
■ you can hate him all you want....tinubu has his imprint on all the major developments in the modern Lagos.....even having good successors who share and keep to your ideology is no easy fit and he has been able to achieve these.

Again, Marwa was the visionary Lagos had. In less than 3 years Marwa accomplished much of the development that sustained most of Lagos throughout the comatose years of the Tinubu government in Lagos State..

2. Hate? Hate or like has nothing to do with stating the facts as they in fact are recorded. This is about collapsing an obvious misinformation. Tinubu's record in Lagos State of a Governor who accomplished absolutely nothing in all of the years he spent in the state. Fortunately, the governor before him had done a good enough job that Lagosians were able to survive until Fashola then showed up to continue from where Marwa stopped.

Lithiumite:
■ I was only inferring that tinubu was very influential in the upward trajectory Lagos as been on since he was in office.....in the 90s Lagos had taken a downward trend before he came in.....refuse, security,bad roads,poor traffic management, inefficient civil service, decrepit schools,parlous health care system very degenerate and the most chaotic transport system to mention a few.....I don't know how long you have been gone for but it started taking a turn around in 99 when tinubu came on board.

Tinubu had no such influence in Lagos; there are no records to prove any such. Yes, Lagos had taken a downward trend in the early part of the 90s, however, the Mohammed Buba Marwa Government that preceded the Tinubu government takes credit for turning that trend around before Tinubu showed up and thought to do nothing for the next 8 years that followed it. Marwa accomplished in just 3 years in Lagos State what Tinubu could not do in all 8 years as governor of Lagos and also in his time so far as President. Go back through the records and see this for yourself. Marwa, not Tinubu, turned the tides in Lagos. Tinubu only sat back and amassed wealth for himself for the first 8 years of democracy in Lagos.

Again, these attempts to rewrite the story of Lagos in favor of a man who did nothing in the state for 8 whole years only go to reveal how devastated and reduced the minds of so many in Nigeria have become when it concerns the state of things. Repeating these same lies regarding Tinubu's will not change the fact that his record as a state governor was deplorable.

Could it be the children are not his?

He never hinted at them not being his; he simply doesn't care what they do as his decision is all that matters to him.

Our union is blessed with 4 graduates who are all gainfully employed in reputable organizations. She is free to go with them if that is their wishes. A man without biological children still gets a befitting and decent burial. Thank God I have touched beautiful lives who would be too willing to give me a decent burial when I joined my ancestors at God appointed time. Who cares anyway! The dead is not even aware of what happens after answering the final call. Never marry one wife,if you have the money. Please be wise. “

This is a message to all "endurance" wives and abandoned children out there playing "good" sons and daughters.

■ Take Buhari to the America and make him potus and let's see what would happen to that country.....there is a reason organisations seek to hire the best brains around to get their job done and not dim wits.....you either make something better or worse,it's only dependent on who's in charge

I keep saying this... the moment a typical Nigerian is cornered, he begins to ramble and run around like a chicken without its head.

What in the world has this here to do with the topic or my previous comment for Pete's sake?

■ You can be blind to progress,that's not my business,Lagos is still the most viable state in the federation as we speak,even ahead of Abuja.....that didn't just happen by chance, someone had to get the job done and we all know who has been getting the accolades.

Ahead of Abuja? I was practically born and raised in Lagos and that state, since as far back as the 70s has remained the most viable state in that entire country to date. None of that happened because of Tinubu. And Tinubu contributed absolutely nothing for the 8 years he governed that state, that much is on record. So, this attempt to rewrite history in favor of a man whose record shows he practically sat back doing nothing in the state is just that, a dubious attempt to give value to nothing.

MatrixReloaded:
What are those staff agency's doing under the government. Are they under a contract with some sort of firm and be blaming govt for lack of salaries. Everyone keep blaming politicians up&down. You know there homes, invade it like they invaded the rtd. general's home. Stop wailing from the onus of your keypads.

NIgerians in NIgeria dey dey watch Kenyan children but still dey beat them chests say dem better pass Kenyans.

My dad passed away years ago and my step dad has been with me for some years now. My mom always tells me and my bro to call him dad. She said he isn't happy when we don't call him Dad and for me it feels awkward calling him Dad. I dont feel comfortable. What do I do??

Tell her that you are not equally happy calling your stepdad that, and ask her whose happiness should come first, hers or yours? The best is to be blunt when you need to be and this is one of those times.

Ksli:
Dear Family, I'm reaching out for your advice, recommendations, and most importantly, suggestions. I've been absent from this forum for a while now, and I'm facing a difficult dilemma.
For context, I was born and raised in Nigeria but left over 13 years ago. I've become completely disconnected from the people, community, family, and the entire environment there.
While I do encounter other Nigerians here, I haven't spent more than 80 hours communicating with them in 13 years. My dilemma stems from my plan to marry a Nigerian woman. She has expressed that we have very different perspectives on life and relationships, particularly within an African context. She's advised me to return to Nigeria to understand how people truly think.

HUh Are there no Nigerian women outside of Nigeria where you live for you to instead engage? Why must it be Nigerian women living in Nigeria who don't share your perspective at all that you wish to engage? Isn't that there a recipe for disaster in marriage and relationship?

Lithiumite:
He was the best of the 3 candidates,take that to the bank ...when he was in Lagos,he didn't do much but he laid the foundation for the upward trajectory Lagos still has today.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣laid the foundation for 8 solid years with nothing to show for all 8 years. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Since your best is nothing, then it is no wonder that Nigeria as it is today appeals to you and others like you!

InvertedHammer:
Why are you blaming Tinubu? Since 1999, politicians make empty promises and people believe them only to wail later. If 25 years later Tinubu could pull off the same scam in 2023, who is to blame? The people refuse to take responsibility for their idiocy. In 2027, more fake promises, and these complaining now will throng the campaign venues to dance and merry.

It is indeed unbelievable that almost 25 years later, Nigerians continue to blame everything and everybody else but themselves for the state of affairs in Nigeria.

Kingrshd3:
■ This serve as means for us to stop importation then we can build local production and even export but yet Nigerians still want to import again 🤔 That's d problem

What do you have to build local production with when your government is busy with plans to spend all the money it obtained via loans for frivolous items?

Paraman:
There are states like Abia state that's not paying 30k, is this same states like Abia you feel will pay 100k? Just dey play

Yes, any state that cannot afford minimum wage should not be in business. A viable state should be able to afford non-slave wages. Any thing less than that is a state that does not even need to exist or a governor that needs to be removed from office.

Nackzy:
Nigerian government is a joke how can you conclude on minimum wage and send the bill to national assembly when the other party are still dragging feets on what they went.,
If Tinubu Sends The bill to the national assembly without both parties coming to a consensus then he doesn't understand governance. He's more or less a draconian leader, and the could have effect on his re-election

Do the Nigerian people understand governance?

omoredia:
■ Mumu. They are wasting the future of ur children and u are supporting it. 2mrw when ur children spit on ur ugly face u will say they don't have respect.

This is exactly the same arrogance in ignorance you find everywhere on the streets of Nigeria keeping Nigerians shackled and unable to act to save their own lives and futures. Here you think say na only Tinubu supporters are the problem, not realizing that your very inability to critically reason and comprehend even a simple conversation is part and parcel of the issue.🤔

omoredia:
■ U are a fool. Upon all the loans we have been collecting how many industries have been built? U are talking of dangote that is a private business that serves the interest of the same corrupt people in government. U can see that u reason like a goat and I am sure u are a Tinubu supporter..

I can see now that I have been trying to make sense to an empty pangolo brain. I best move on! 🤔

omoredia:
■ U can see that u are a real fooI. So based on our unique unproductive situation do we need loans? U can see that u don't reason. All the loans we have taken did u see the result? So what is the need of taking loans? U are a real slowpoke. No jokes

The problem with most of you is that you don't critically digest the situation before you. And this is why the country is not able to move forward at all. 🤔

Danjuma with the help of your same government got loans which he used to build his factory, a factory which is expected to produce a good portion of the refined fuel needs of the country before the end of the year. If the government had not helped in obtaining the loan, do you think the man would have been able to accomplish even as much of what he has today? Use your brain.... it is not a magical tool... you have to engage it.

To become productive at this point, Nigeria needs those loans to build the industry and capabilities to do so. Even to improve the agricultural sector beyond where it is today, Nigeria needs to take out loans to do that. The loans are not the problem; mismanagement and the free-for-all culture of corruption courtesy of the Nigerian people such as yourself who refuse to reason their reality right is the problem. 🤔

omoredia:
■ Then it's pointless. We don't need loans. The loan is a down payment to keep hold on our future and development. We must live without our means. We do not need loans

Even China, Brazil, South Africa, etc. take loans. Even right there in Nigeria, Dangote takes loans. Loans are necessary for the many developmental projects that are needed to build the country. Loans are not the problem so stop with the illiterate moves to demonize that which you are ignorant of. Rather, the problem is your Government's mismanagement of funds & loans as well as the continued refusal of the people to hold their government and the many criminals they continue to elect responsible for their crimes against the people.

omoredia:
■ We don't want any loans. If u are a banker would u give loans to looters. U see u don't reason.
■ We don't need loans that will be looted. We have corruption and bad thinking and governance to deal with first.

Nigeria as a country does not loot anyone. In fact, Nigeria has a good enough credit rating to obtain loans. So why should Nigeria, the country, be denied loans by any banker out there? Make una dey reason well abeg!

What Nigeria does with the loans after it has been approved and given is all Nigerian internal affairs and not the business of the bankers who give them loans. All they concern themselves with is whether Nigeria qualifies for said loans and whether Nigeria pays back the loan on time. If Nigeria chooses to flush the money down the drain after receiving it, that is Nigeria's problem and Nigeria's business.

omoredia:
Anybody still giving Nigeria any loan with all this corruption is an accomplice to the problem. We don't want loans, we don't need loans and we will never repay such loans in the future.

Stop deceiving yourself with these silly excuses abeg!

If dem refuse Nigeria loans na the same una go complain say dem dey discriminate against una even though una meet all qualifications. Stop looking for ways to deflect responsibility for handling the sheet that is Nigeria onto others. Na una bathe una self with corruption no be those wey una dey collect loans from dey do una.

flokii:
I guess it's your own turn to lavish the remaining.. I no blame the useless citizens that eventually become useless public office holders but the World Bank giving you people momey to steal.

Make una dey reason abeg! Why blame the World Bank for doing what the World Bank is designed to do abeg? India, South Africa, China, etc. all equally take loans from the same World Bank. But why is it that the World Bank is to blame when your leaders do the very same?

Racoon:
Everyone under the Buhari government was a criminal.

So, now they are no longer in office why have you all not demanded they be investigated for all illegitimate actions carried out during their time in office?

benjanny:
I live in Umuahia and I can point about 10 to 12 roads that has been rehabilitated under Gov Otti in the last couple of months,maybe others is in Aba and other parts of the state. remember I don't like any Nigerian politician including Peter Obi

You don't like them but you retain the corrupt ones like Orji Kalu in office by refusing to recall him from office?

hisgrace090:
Pst kumuyi is trying to say that he's just a tool in the hand of God as Jesus in the one that answereth our prayer when we pray.

Jesus Christ never said He is the one that answers all prayers though. Rather, it is the Father's purview, the answering of all prayers.

WisdomTide:
■ The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) in Rivers State have issued a stern ultimatum to the police force, demanding the immediate evacuation of police personnel from the premises of the 23 local government secretariats within the state.
This ultimatum was announced during an emergency meeting of the State Administrative Council, convened at the NLC secretariat in Port Harcourt, the state's capital, on Friday. Alex Agwanwor, the NLC Chairman for Rivers State, acknowledged the police's efforts in maintaining peace but emphasized that preventing workers from accessing their offices constitutes a severe violation of their fundamental rights.

These people should know their place. Wetin concern The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) with State matters abeg? Na trade unions dey monitor situations at local governments abi wetin?

■ I've heard it many times from liars! I asked you questions and quoted scriptures, what was the lie? I'm not defining untimely death to an adult. If you're a kid, I'll understand.
■ So by implication, Yahweh created the rod of Moses for Moses? Kobojunkie, leave all the mindless babblings.
■ Jesus said we'll tread over all the 'power' of the enemies. God gave power in measures to all his creations including human beings.
Signs and wonders prove that God is real. That's why Jesus said "[b]Jesus therefore said to him, “Unless you see signs and wonders, you will in no way believe.” John 4:18.[/b] Then he said: "These signs shall follow them that believe..."

1. I am glad you and I know how ridiculous your untimely death idea is since you are unable to offer specifics to define it. Consider the case of a 98-year-old who was murdered by his nurse. Was his case an untimely death or a natural death?

2. That is a dumbass implication in this case similar to the one you made earlier regarding what was stated in Ecclesiastes 3 vs 14. Please quit your mindless babbling at this point. YHWH is All-Powerful because He created all things in Heaven and on Earth. The rod does not have YHWH's power in it but YHWH has power over it because He created it. Again, pay careful attention to the order of things.

3. Stop deceiving yourself! The same Jesus Christ equally said the following in His Gospels.

38 Then some of the Pharisees and teachers of the law answered Jesus. They said, “Teacher, we want to see you do a miracle as a sign from God.”
39 Jesus answered, “Evil and sinful people are the ones who want to see a miracle as a sign. But no miracle will be done to prove anything to them. The only sign will be the miracle that happened to the prophet Jonah.
40 Jonah was in the stomach of the big fish for three days and three nights. In the same way, the Son of Man will be in the grave three days and three nights. - Matthew 12 vs 38 - 40

...

3 And in the morning, if the sky is dark and red, you say that it will be a rainy day. These are signs of the weather. You see these signs in the sky and know what they mean. In the same way, you see the things that are happening now. These are also signs, but you don’t know their meaning.
4 It is the evil and sinful people who want to see a miracle as a sign from God. But no miracle will be done to prove anything to them. The only sign will be the miracle that happened to Jonah.” Then Jesus went away from there. - Matthew 16 vs 3 - 4

...

11 The Pharisees came to Jesus and asked him questions. They wanted to test him. So they asked him to do a miracle as a sign from God.
12 Jesus sighed deeply and said, “Why do you people ask to see a miracle as a sign? I want you to know that no miracle will be done to prove anything to you.”
13 Then Jesus left them and went in the boat to the other side of the lake. - Mark 8 vs 11 - 13

...

29 The crowd grew larger and larger. Jesus said, “The people who live today are evil. They ask for a miracle as a sign from God. But no miracle will be done to prove anything to them. The only sign will be the miracle that happened to Jonah.
30 Jonah was a sign for those who lived in Nineveh. It is the same with the Son of Man. He will be a sign for the people of this time. - Luke 11 vs 29 - 30

If you have ever in fact read the book for yourself, you would know this but I guess it is merely ok to create these threads that are pretty much timewasters than spend time actually reading through to get a good grasp of what is in fact written of God, right?

These signs shall follow them.... was never intended by Jesus Christ who equally said the following....

21 “Not everyone who calls me Lord will enter God’s kingdom. The only people who will enter are those who do what my Father in heaven wants.
22 On that last Day many will call me Lord. They will say, ‘Lord, Lord, by the power of your name we spoke for God. And by your name we forced out demons and did many miracles.’
23 Then I will tell those people clearly, ‘Get away from me, you people who do wrong. I never knew you.’ - Matthew 7 vs 21 - 23

...as a benchmark for determining those who belong to Him. You asserting, against Jesus Christ, that it serves as proof that you do not accept Jesus Christ at all.

Zico5:
■ Election rigger indeed. He used the same set of people calling him thieves to rig himself into senate. Then who is a big thieves or nonentities. If care is not taken he will rig another person to be the governor of the state. You guys should be careful of what u are posting online. It means kalu is bigger than anyone in Abia.

If Orji did in fact rig the elections as you claim, why have Abians not equally voted him out, by way of a recall, of the senate to date?

Kennitrust:
The only working governor of the year

Is that why Abians refuse to vote Orji out of the Senate allowing Orji to live freely on loot that should go instead to the people?

■ Again every human being knows it when someone dies young. Tell me what makes you think this awkwardly. Answer the question, where did you and I start being specific only the raising of the dead is what God does forever.
■ When did God say that no one else has any power except Himself?
■ Jesus said: Luke 10:19 "Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over [b]all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you." If you don't understand what God's Almighty power means, see Luke 10:19 for clarity.

1. Stop lying! 🤔

Even people who lose their loved ones at age 70 equally complain of them going too early. So, be specific! There are cases where autopsies of deaths of people in their 70s/80s have shown that some were murdered or died of sickness and diseases even then. So this wooroo-wooroo no fly! Define your idea of untimely death so we are on the same page here. And where in Scripture did God of Israel or Jesus Christ specify that when a person is raised from death 🤔

2. It is amazing that one who claims to believe in the God of Israel — YHWH — is asking me this question. YHWH is written as the one who created all things, and it is indicated He is sovereign over all of His creation, His omnipotence— All-Powerfulness—is implied as a result. Regarding scripture, YHWH is said to be All-Powerful because He wields power and control over all He created. Now, tell me, what was not created by YHWH that has power besides that which is YHWH? 🤔

3. I doubt you understand the meaning of the verse you quote or even He whose power you compare it to. Jesus Christ was not there telling His followers that the power He bestowed on them made them equal to YHWH so I am quite shocked that you would quote such as an explanation for God's All-powerfulness. 🤔

Back to what I said earlier, Jesus Christ made clear even Judas was bestowed with the power to do signs and wonders, but Judas did not belong to Jesus Christ as he belonged instead to the devil; this much is quite clear. So to continue using signs and wonders as the yardstick for deciding who belongs to Jesus Christ and who doesn't belong to Jesus Christ proves you know nothing of Jesus Christ or the Father, YHWH, God of Israel.
