Did you know where we were coming from when it built those schools under 12 months?

That was at a time when we had shift system in Lagos public schools. A set of students will go to school in the morning and after set will go to school in the afternoon, because we did not have enough schools in Lagos.

What he did then was to provide a structure that could serve purpose of schooling, he also got teachers from Ghana, India and some other countries.

Did the students who attended Jakande school get good education? Yes.
Some of those students are now in their mid 50s and 60s.

If Jakande was in charge for 8 years, I am sure he would have upgraded the schools.

Average civil servants could afford to buy an apartment in his estates for between N4000 and N6000.

Unfortunately you will need a minimum of N60 million in order to buy an apartment in the estates built by our current leader.

His estates were affordable because he dealt directly with the manufacturers of building materials

Political opponents, (especially NPN) wanted to undermine and ridicule Awolowo and UPN's achievements in the educational sector in the West comprising Lagos, Oyo, Ogun, Ondo and Bendel states. Some of us attended those schools and sat in classes they described as ''pig barns'', ''poultry farms'' etc. Today, we are thankful to Awolowo, his UPN governors and can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with those who attended the so called ''best schools'' of that era and beyond.

Some had their education beginning from classes under the tree, but they went on to become great men and women in society.

GeneralOuki:
"The photographer also described an organised mechanism for intimidating journalists, run through a WhatsApp group which, he said, was managed by a senior Hamas media official at the Rafah crossing. Personal details and phone numbers of journalists were posted in the group, he said, so that online activists could launch coordinated attacks against them if they said or wrote anything that displeased the organisation."

The propaganda machine that Hamas deployed is arguably the best ever in history. Also, this also reveals that a lot of these activists are all working for a terrorist group, Greta and her flotilla nonsense can't spare a thought for Sudan which is experiencing a worse humanitarian crisis than Gaza.

The propaganda machine is not from Hamas.
The propaganda is the unified strategy, plan and agreement by all the haters and enemies of Israel, especially the Arab and Muslim world, supported by their politicians, media, civil society, their sympathizers etc funded with billons and billions of hard currency.
Somehow, they have succeeded in hoodwinking some gullible western leaders by painting the picture of ''victim'' because Israel is able to survive and respond forcefully.
If they had their way, they would have deleted Israel from the surface of the earth long ago.

Bovis:
The schools also served as hangouts for criminals and produced many touts

I don't get your drift and thinking.
A lot of universities have served as hangouts for criminals and produced many touts.. So, by your analogy, you blame the govt that built the universities?

A lot of railway stations have become hangouts for criminals.
So you by analogy, you blame the govt, that built the railway stations?

A lot of bus terminals have become hangouts for criminals. So, by your thinking, you blame the govt that built the bus terminals?
A lot of airports have served as conduits for drug trafficking by criminals. So you blame the govt that built the airports?


Okay, let's extend your line of thinking and argument to the LASAMBUS, LASTMA etc that you said Tinubu establised:

A lot of LASAMBUS bus drivers have caused accidents and killed several people on Lagos roads. So, do you blame Tinubu for establishing LASAMBUS?.
A lot of LASTMA officers have been accused to have caused accidents on Lagos roads. So, do you blame Tinubu for establishing LASTMA?

Is this how you see and assess national developmental issues?
You want to blame the govt that provided the infrastructure because some misguided people decided to do the wrong things?

Incredible!

Bovis:
Not entirely true, theirs is no doubt that Jakande followed the UPN’s broader development template for the SW and his administration implemented several important social and infrastructural programmes. However, most of his projects were ill conceived and poorly executed. For example, the Jakande schools were built like pig barns and were not fit for purpose. He also performed badly in the area of sanitation and security. As kids we usually encountered dead bodies along the streets of Lagos on our way to school

By contrast, the Tinubu administration introduced structural and dynamic changes by establishing several key agencies like the LASTMA, BRT, LIRS, LAMATA, KAI, LASEPA and LASAMBUS. These reforms fundamentally changed the way Lagos approached transportation, environmental management, revenue administration, law enforcement, security, and urban governance. Tinubu invariably laid the master plan for the development of the modern Lagos and therefore, can be rightly credited for building a new Lagos

Overall, Jakande’s achievements dwarfs that of Tinubu as a Lagos state governor

You are comparing LASTMA, BRT, LAMATA, KAI, LASEPA, LASAMBUS to what Jakande did in Lagos?
Jakande was even the first to introduce and implement the Lagos public transport system (LSTC). He brought the idea of metro line and light rail system.
The Jakande schools that you described as ''pig barns'' have produced thousands and millions of professors, professionals, medical doctors, lawyers and other successful people who otherwise would not have been able to have formal education in life.
How did Jakande perform poorly in security at a time when people could even afford to sleep outside in front of their houses whenever there was too much heat?
And what about the hospitals built by Jakande?
What about the roads?
What about the housing estates?
The polytechnics and University?

You cannot have a ''modern state'' without these things. Jakande did most of them, and they were affordable for the people to acquire.

LIRS (Lagos Internal Revenue Service) was not created by Tinubu). It is a statutory body that existed long before Tinubu became governor in 1999.

All these unnecessary bad belle. He has been a Senator representing Ogun state since 2023 and you have nothing to say about his performance in office or about his competence to run the affair of the state. All you are ranting about is useless issues about his possible Ekiti ancestry.

Madam, you are a disgrace to Yoruba people all over the world. Yoruba people don't move mad like this. We are a united people.

Yayi is an Awori man with very clear traceable roots. His family members and the entire Ogun west senatorial district have are well aware that he is their son. So, do you know him more than an entire senatorial district? This is just an unfortunate attempt to again deny the people of Ogun west a shot at the governorship office of the state. Yayi is the next governor of Ogun state whether you all Awori haters like it or not.

Crime or offence does not have an expiry date. Whenever people are able to find out, the culprit must answer for it.

Haba.

Jakande established Lagos State University, Lagos State Polytechnic, Radio Lagos, Lagos Television.

Built Abesan Housing estate, Iba Housing estate, Iponri Housing estate, Isolo Housing estate, Ojokoro housing estate, Ogba Housing estate,Jakande Estate Lekki and many more. These houses were affordable.

He opened up Ikotun, Egbe, Idimu, Iba, Ejigbo by constructing roads

He opened up Lekki, Ajah by the construction of Lekki Ajah express road.

In the 80s when going to Ajah, the last bus stop was Sand fill at Maroko and then take a boat.

He built General hospitals at Isolo, Ikorodu, Ijaiye, Gbagada etc

He established Gbagada estate Phase 1 and phase 2.

What about the establishment of thousands of primary and secondary schools.

He built Teslim Balogun stadium.

He was planning the metroline project before it was cancelled by the military.

All these happened within 4 years, imagine what he would have done in 8 years

Thank you for having the patience to list some of Jakande's achievements.

Some people just do not know and they do not take their time to learn to know

The Ikeja metropolis and the Govt Secretariat at Aluasa were also built by Jakande. And LASU too.
And someone is talking about clearing of Oshodi road-side markets as an achievement

Jakande lived in his personal house at Ilupeju for the 4 years of his governorship. He did not travel outside to visit any country during that time. And he did not steal a kobo from govt. He did not set up an Alpha Beta-like company to extort money from the state govt.
He constructed most of the roads in Lagos state

Please people should read their history begore they allowsome newcomer politicians to de eive them with lies and propaganda
Jakanda under Awolowo's UPN is the Best Lagos Governor of All Time. I

Mpeace:
If 2hrs into the Dangote refinery IPO they sold over 1.4trillion out of 2.1 trillion they needed.
By implication they should have met the target 2.1trillion within the first 24hrs of the IPO.

It means all those extras that applied/would apply after the first day should exceed 10trillion.

It also implies that over 10trillion will be rejected. If them return all that rejected money into the market ehhhh hmmmm bulls go pursue person oh.

Exactly. The bullish run may be crazy

presiade:
While I’m not holding brief for any politician, did you witness the dirty Oshodi and the “molue”era of pre-1999? The master development plan that the state is following today was developed during Tinubu tenure as governor, so most of the development you’re currently witnessing in Lagos—including the Lekki Free Zone, which birthed the much-publicized Dangote Refinery—were his ideas.

Do you know what Moboilaji Jonhnson and Lateef Jakande did in Lagos? If not, please try and do sone research

Mentioning the clearing of Oshodi as a "development achievement" is funny.
Lekki free trade zone would not have been if the Lekki Epe axis was not opened up via the road connection that attracted economic activity to that area.
Only those who did not know Jakande and Mobolaji Johnson can say Tinubu developed Lagos.
Even Tinubu himself cannot say such.
Jakande established the development plan for Lagos, including the light rail and the free trade zone. But the long military rule stopped his plans and destabilized the programmes.

As seen on the internet

YORUBAS PROTECTED TINUBU, but Igboman stripped his brother naked before the village Square, and sat him on the mud, all in the name of "setting the facts straight".

Yorubas had the opportunity of doing similar thing to Tinubu, but they didn't.

During the last election, Tinubu ran on the statement which I consider an "ABSOLUTE FALSEHOOD" that Tinubu developed Lagos; or that he developed the blueprints for Lagos. The Yorubas knew and perhaps , still know, that it was false, but "THEY KEPT QUIET".

The Governor of Lagos, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, did not think it wise to step forward to debunk that falsehood. Instead, they all rallied round him, lifted his hands in support and shielded him from opprobrium.

But here, we have Peter Obi's brothers, raving wild "setting the records straight" against Peter Obi, even making up ballooned figures in the process. One keeps asking who they are trying so hard to please. Why do they seem happy to see their brother down?

But the real truth is that Tinubu never, I mean NEVER developed even 7% of Lagos. He couldn't have. I have written about this before, so I won't dwell fixated on it. Tinubu's achievements as Governor of Lagos, is absolutely insignificant and utterly negligible when it comes to making Lagos what it is.

Lagos was already fully developed before Tinubu ruled it for ONLY 8yrs. Lagos became the capital of Nigeria as far back as 1914 and it remained so up till 1991, which is a resounding period of 77yrs. The federal government developed Lagos, and they did so with funds drawn directly from the Federation account, just as they are doing for Abuja today.

77 years is not 7 years.

Lagos had been capital of Nigeria for 38yrs before Tinubu was conceived in the womb in 1954 as he claimed. By the time Tinubu became the Governor of Lagos in 1999, which is just yesterday, every major development have already taken place in Lagos.

All the tall buildings were already there. Every bank already had their headquarters in Lagos. The City was already buzzy and booming. All Federal Corporations were already there. Lagos seaport was already there. Lagos airport was already there. Lagos crowd was already there. Everything was already there, including the teaming crowd.

So, it was a nonsensical show of mendacity to say that Tinubu "developed the blueprints" for Lagos. That's an unforgivable insult to Nigerians as a collective because it means all the money pumped into developing Lagos by the Federal government, with were realised from every region of this country, was a total waste of time.

If we MISTAKENLY accept the falsehood that Tinubu developed Lagos, that means Nyesom Wike can, tomorrow, claim to develop Abuja.

Nobody came out from Lagos to disprove or "set the records straight" about developing Lagos.

But Soludo, the overzealous Igbo man from the same Anambra state as Peter Obi, is raving wild "setting the records straight" about Peter Obi's records with Anambra State. Even his commissioner for information, Dr. Law Mefor, was on AriseTv, shamelessly disgracing himself.

Questions keep popping up; to what end?

Dr. Alex Oti is an Igbo politician from Abia State. He understands the politics of watching your brother's back. And that's why, in the midst of this controversy about monies Peter Obi left behind, he came out to defend Peter Obi's records. Ordinarily, it shouldn't concern him as he is from Abia State. But he did what he did in the spirit of brotherliness.

I am grossly ashamed for Soludo. And I ask; why can't he support his own brother? I just hope he is receiving the "love" and "affection" of the West which he dearly craves. But he should never think of himself as a hero. Nobody becomes a hero by slaying his brother.

Anyone that claims that Tinubu was the one that developed Lagos must be either drunk, ignorant, crazy, a paid propagandist or a myopic slowpoke.
FG did most of the investments in infrastructure in Lagos.
But for State governors, Mobolaji Jonhnson and Lateef Jakande are the brains behind the develoment of Lagos. They built virtually all the infrastructure that Lagos state is relying on today.

The way people are marketing this DANGOTE REFINERY, ehn, it seems as though Dangote wants to share money among shareholders! Someone just told me that investing ₦100,000 will make them a millionaire in a few years and I’m honestly wondering if there’s something I’m missing sha. 😅

I think we, should clarify the mix up and misinformation.
There is the prospect, the hype and the ignorance (or lack of understanding)
We should be able to independently appreciate the prospects of the refinery (especially if expanded to 1.4m barrels), and separate it from the hype or marketing of the IPO and the ignorance of other people talking about it.

There will be no real ''production'' if govt keeps removing subsidies from what the people need to enhance their production.
China has come this far because govt subsidized many things for the people

I wonder when a stock update thread became a glancing ground for Chinese taking over Nigerian retail market thread.

There are so many educated illiterates parading degrees they can't defend in Nigeria.

It is unrealistic to have an online platform like this and expect that everything and every topic to be discussed will be strictly 100% stocks, and nothing else. Interesting economy-related topics would always crop up once in a while.
You may find the ''Chinese retail market'' topic irrelevant, but we all cannot be same.
Let's be realistic. It has nothing to do with being ''educated illiterates''.
The ''educated educated'' are nothing special, after all.

I tire for Nigerians sef

We should stop comparing the Chinese with Nigerian traders.
The Chinese govt makes it possible for Chinese traders to have access to credit at very cheap rates. The factories in China are also producing in excess so they need to push their products to other countries. So the Chinese trader has access to good trade terms from both their manufacturers, banks and support from their govt.

The Nigerian trader, on the other hand, has no such support. Bank interest rate is about 30% or more. So his goods become relatively more expensive compared to the Chinese trader.

So those on opposite sides of the debate all have good points.

But one of my issues here is the hypocrisy of some Nigerians and Nigerian traders. Here we are, wanting the Chinese to leave the retail business for us. But many Nigerians have also flooded the retail sector of many African and foreign markets.
So do unto others as you expect to be done unto you. If you drive the Chinese away, dont complain when other countries also drive Nigerian traders away from their markets as well.

I have always believed that FBN would not remain down forever. In my view, one of the major issues affecting FBN was Oba Otudeko and now that he has been removed, we are beginning to see a different trajectory.

I believe the same principle applies to Oando. In my assessment, Wale Tinubu is the major factor holding the company back. If he is eventually removed, I believe Oando could experience a remarkable transformation and potentially witness tremendous growth.
