What platform did the government provided for the opposition to render assistance other than tagging GMB as BH sponsorer.

wen he was asked to represent Bh in negotiatin d release of D chibok girls( BH picked him)wat did he do? He refused!! Dat alone is enough reason for Nigerians to knw who loves dis country more! But for gullible Nigerians like u..u wont see dat!

Jimi Agbaje The Honourable Governor B.R. Fashola (SAN) has
lied again and I think it's time to address his
repeated blunder. With regards to my taxes, there is no truth in this
latest piece of misinformation that the Honourable
Governor has been peddling. Following the
repudiation of his initial allegations about JAYKAY
PHARMACEUTICALS unpaid taxes, he has lied again,
giving the impression that my company has gone to pay money supposedly owed to the government. JAYKAY PHARMACEUTICALS has not paid a kobo
since the day the Honourable Governor launched
his initial attack. We stick to the facts contained in
our initial publication, which encapsulated the
company's reaction to the Governor’s initial
falsehood. To now insinuate that I have gone behind the curtains to pay N500,000 is clearly
political silly season - for lack of a better phrase -
and quite frankly, beneath your person. It's understandable that we've both had our
differences in course of this election season, but
when the Honorable Governor goes about
launching unbridled, flat-out-false attacks at me
about something as important as taxes, you leave
me no choice but to call you out, Sir. When I got into this race, I decided to make it
about the issues. My opponents? Not so much. They
talked about me being inexperienced and at some
point they said I was "too old to govern" and we
responded with BOLD IDEAS intended to put Lagos
on a new trajectory - one that is NOT based on Jagaban's tax-and-spend economics but on a
framework that would radically push us to new
economic frontiers for some of the most under-
developed regions in the state like Epe and Ikorodu.
They ridiculed our ideas around government-enab
led free wifi hotspots across the city - an idea targeted at widening the reach of a world of
knowledge that the Internet offers to our young
and aspiring populace - especially in areas of low
penetration. They called it bold ignorance and out
of touch with reality yet they went on to
implement wifi Internet-enabled buses a couple of weeks afterwards. As much as we're glad that our
BOLD IDEAS inspire you as much as they do us, one
must begin to question the seriousness of the
opposition in Lagos to make this election about the
issues. How ever you cut or dissect our success as a state
over the last 16-years, the fact is that Lagos in the
Economic intelligence Unit (EIU) is still ranked 137th
out of 140 cities listed in the liveability index. This
means that if you take 140 cities worldwide where
people consider good to live in, Lagos is the fourth worst place to live in. Apart from this, a World
Bank survey shows that of the 36 states in Nigeria,
Lagos is still the worst state in terms of the ease of
securing Building Permits. It is still on record too
that the party the Honourable Governor represents
has delivered less than 5,000 housing units till date. It is still on record that more students in Lagos fail
WAEC than those who pass. Even when we consider
corruption, we are aware that Honourable
Governor Fashola is yet to challenge anyone for
corruption at the state level. Or is he saying Lagos
is 100 percent corruption-free? Yet he goes about castigating the Federal Government. He should
walk his talk and lead by example – expose and
prosecute high-ranking corrupt officials in his
government and the state civil service. The
corruption in the Lekki Toll Plaza will be made
public in due cause. Clearly, we still have a lot of work to do as a state
but the Honourable Governor Babatunde Fashola
has set out to exploit the commanding heights he
occupies in the seat of government to bully us. And
quite frankly, we shall stand up to bullies. I think what Lagosians should begin to ask is what
is driving the Honourable Governor Fashola’s
violent outbursts? What has he got to hide? Other
than lay the facts bare to enable the public form
an informed opinion. I refuse to be baited into his self-declared verbal
warfare. My politics and campaign will be issues-
based and no roforofo badmouthing from
anyone, no matter how highly placed, will steer me
away from development-based politicking. There are more pressing issues, more important
conversations to have and more problems to solve
and the people of Lagos are wondering if their
leaders get it. The teachers, the students, the
blacksmiths, the bankers, the taxi-man, the small-
business owners, they all hope that their leaders understand that the outcome of this election and
the future of this state is bigger than any one
personality or party. Whatever we do or commit to
doing determines whether they have food to put on
their tables; whether they can own homes, pay
salaries or that their children get to attend schools of their choice. They deserve better. The people definitely deserve better.

TANoids accusing APC for not issuing a statement regarding the recent success of the military against the insurgents, now Lai Muhammad has hail the military TANoids are still raining insults on him what did they want him to do? Jona doesn't deserve any praise regarding the recent success of the military because he initially shown a nonchalant attitude towards the fight against the insurgents not until recently when its crystal clear that he's gonna lose at at the poll, our military men ain't cowards but their efforts are sabotaged by inadequate & obsolete weapons to fight the insurgents.

Unfortunately, the vast majority of Nigerians are criminal minded and corrupt. Possibly you inclusive. Focus on the message, and not the messenger. That is the hallmark of an intelligent mind (I'm not saying yours is or isn't, of course ).

Oh what a shame to this country with all the natural resources.
Let us look at Enugu Onitsha road, it is a death trap and has been under contract for 6 years +.
Any time, that I pass that road am always ashamed of my self.
What about light, Prof Nebo recently confirmed that Nigerians can never have steady light.
Kerosene that is the poor man's source of consolable is today N130 per litre.
Cement that was promised to Nigerians that will cost N1000 per bag is today N1800+.
During the 6years of this administration, how many strikes have we recorded, even till date.
We dont have shoe, now that we have shoes, we have forgotten that they are some people without legs.
There is godoooo

he gave d striking workers a chance to speak witout fear of bein threatend and boss kerosene is N50/litre

Zeezy99:

Thousands of people marched in Niger’s capital on Tuesday to protest at Boko Haram Islamists who have launched deadly raids in the country from their base in neighbouring Nigeria.

Prime Minister Brigi Rafini led the demonstrators who marched under a heavy police presence, with snipers posted on roofs of buildings along the protest route, including parliament.

“Boko Haram is itself haram (forbidden),” read one sign, referring to the name of the jihadist group, which roughly translates as “Western education is forbidden.”

The Boko Haram fighters have “nothing Islamic, nothing Muslim about them,” Rafini told AFP at the head of the procession.
Muslims in Niger who were previously “troubled, waiting to see, are now free to say no to Boko Haram,” he added.

“All united against Boko Haram,” read a banner at the march, called by the ruling party with support from trade unions, religious bodies, student associations and non-governmental organisations.

“Our army, our pride,” read another of the many signs — sometimes daubed in the green, white and orange national colours — after Niger’s troops recently joined a regional fight against the brutal sect.

If “someone asks me to take up a weapon, I’m ready for combat,” said 18-year-old Jaafar Ousmane, an enthusiastic student union official, who said that those he represented were “100 percent” behind the security forces.

Boko Haram has waged an insurgency aiming to create a hardline Islamic state in northeast Nigeria since 2009, a conflict that has claimed some 13,000 lives.

In recent months it has extended its raids into neighbouring countries, including Cameroon, Niger and Chad, as they formed a military alliance with Nigeria to combat the jihadists.

Police said on Monday that they had arrested more than 160 people suspected of having links to Boko Haram in Niger’s Diffa region, a border area with Nigeria that was attacked by the Islamists earlier this month.

Boko Haram first struck in Niger three days before parliament on February 9 authorised the army to enter Nigeria to take part in the regional struggle. Some 3,000 troops are posted along the frontier.

Some at the Niamey march voiced fear of Boko Haram insurgents who might have sneaked into the city. “All we hope for is that this ends well, that there are no infiltrators,” a wary local journalist said.

“Boko Haram scares me. We want peace,” said Seydou Zamo, 45, a photographer who added that he shared concern that the armed group, known for suicide bombings, was in the capital.

Do people sit on those trains or are they cargo trains

I cannot accept the saying half bread is better than none why ? Because Nigeria can do better than this.

Check how much was spent on these projects you could buy modern , high class train.but again, since stealing is not corruption, some dump ass somewhere, received the contract for this project, pocket half off it, and bought this piece of $hit.

We can't we Nigerians enjoy our resources If we get those trains we see on TV , na crime even Ethiopia have better trains than this junk

apc fan i gess...a child cant start walkin d day he or she was given birth to....d likes of obasanjo shud rot in jail...if and only if obasanjo has done half of it...it wil av been easier to move to modern trains...u dey complain abt money? Come lagos 8 yrs train even d track never finish! Mtcheew
