(It appears that some people mistakenly thought that he was referring to Pastor Osinbajo, but the screenshot he posted makes it clear that he was referring to Peter Obi).
For an aspirant who’s not going to be President in 2023, PO fans are too arrogant and hostile on social media. Sigh. I’ve not met a reasonable one yet, sadly.
Either our man gets it, or PDP implodes. This is how they all think and behave. Tueh.
Guyman02: You are the ones promoting him and giving publicity to his gang threatening people's lives with unknown gunmen.
How come there's no sit at home in Umuahia Nnamdi Janus community?
Sapiosexuality: Why do you keep advertising for him Naptu2? Don't you think you are adding voice to his stupidity and arming him? What's your goal, Naptu2?
Wonderful! So the problem isn't that this lunatic's armed Autopiloters are killing people, rather the problem is that it is being reported. Well then, I guess if nobody reports it, then the killing will magically stop, won't it?
naptu2: When a brainless fool is causing death and hardship to millions of people, while he is enjoying peace in a far away land, when he is profiting from the destruction that he is causing and people are trying to cover it up and pretend that he does not exist, when his supporters are blaming "Fulani herdsmen" for the death and destruction that he freely admits that he is causing, then it is my job to shine a light on it so that something will be done about the maniac.
All those that are trying to deflect or cover it up so that the maniac can continue sending his murderous terrorists to kill people with the excuse that they are enforcing a useless sit at home have failed. I will continue to call out the terrorist and expose their murderous activities until something is done to bring it to an end.
There's absolutely nothing that his followers and apologists can do to stop me.
naptu2: All you need to do is go to his Twitter account and look at the responses now and compare them with the responses before I started creating threads about him and you'll know that this is not what he craved for.
Where, previously the responses to his posts have been by mindless followers who praise and hail his hate speeches, now people are calling him out, confronting him and petitioning Twitter to ban him. That's the difference.
Most of the people that are replying now, did not previously know that he was the source of the unknown gunmen. Now they know and are willing to take action to stop him. That's the difference.
anonimi: Excuse me sir, I did not see you ask anyone on the thread of your OP below about common sense when they were jubilating in anticipation of riding the light rail five months after Fashola's promised delivery. Why was that so Oga?
Aha! Shifting the goal post. It's no longer about June again?
Your question doesn't even make sense. Why shouldn't people be happy that infrastructure that will make their lives better is being constructed? Are you a sadist, or has APC vs PDP deprived you of the ability to see things objectively?
You can't even counter my argument, so you choose to make this shameful post. This shows that there is no longer any need for me to continue engaging you because you will not post anything meaningful or worth debating.
You can mourn when necessary infrastructure is being constructed. That is your right. I choose to be happy, no matter who is constructing it, where he is from, what religion he belongs to or what political party he belongs to.
Our monday sit at home civil disobedience continues tomorrow 25.4.2022 for the release of MNK, others. What this means is that no movement of people, goods and services from any part of Nig to Biafra territory, this alone is a referendum & will go down in history @UN @vonderleyen
The next major activity that needs to happen on the Blue Line is what we call the third rail, right. The third rail is the power, right, that will now be activated on this rail track. The Blue Line, for emphasis, will be running what we call an EMU. It's going to be an electric motor vehicle. The trains are going to be running on electric, right, so they need to have power on the rail tracks.
So that's why, we are getting to a stage where there has to be a lot of advocacy, there has to be a lot of information, communication onto the citizens, especially where the track was on grid. From Orile Station up until Mile 2, you know that it was at grid level, meaning that it was at ground level and if you have a track at ground level that is electric, you've seen that we've wired off all the alignment, but you see, a lot of our citizens that do not know, they've started breaking all of the rails that we have done there. We will go back there and fix it and there has to be a lot of enforcement, a lot of advocacy, because by the end of the year, when this track starts, they are electric tracks, they are going to be running on electric. . .on electricity and you will know that citizens or passengers or anybody whatsoever cannot walk on those things.
So gentlemen of the press, you have that responsibility for now, we'll begin to mention that, for the next 6 months, 8 months, we need to mention that, that this track, it's not like the Red Line, the Red Line is DMU, but the Blue Line is EMU. So these are some of the communications that we need to pass out that they are electric train lines.
And so we are happy that the contractor, they work 7 days a week.
anonimi: Many thanks sir for your feedback. I have read everything again but his talk about funding constraints was about the Badagry road, which is still undone. He was clear with the June date of the first phase of the light rail. Thanks for your understanding sir.
If the loan was for both the road and the rail and the project was being delayed because the loan was not approved, isn't it common sense that both projects were affected?
2) What he said would be ready was the first phase, that is Mile 2 to Orile and that was finished exactly when he said it would be ready.
3) The rail runs through the median of that road, how would the rail be complete if the road is not complete?
On the Light Rail Project, Fashola said the first phase of the project would be ready in June, while work on the rail would continue to Okokomaiko even as the expansion of the Lagos-Badagry expressway continues.
anonimi: Oga Naptu2, below is an extract from the PM News you posted sir. Thanks for your understanding sir.
Good God Almighty! The whole thing is right there in front of you and you can't read it?
The completion date was June 2013, but that was dependent on receiving the funds as it was due. The Lagos State Government took a loan from the African Development Bank to complete the project. It required a guarantee from the Federal Government before it could access the loan. The Federal Government guaranteed the first tranche in 2010 and work began. However, the Federal Government refused to guarantee the second tranche and therefore there was no money. Fashola had to go to Abuja to meet the minister of finance (Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala) and when he didn't get a favourable response, he went to the National Assembly to complain. The loan still wasn't guaranteed until a year later, when inflation and fall in the value of the naira had hit the project. This is in that same article that I posted. Read it
He explained thatbit is one of the reasons why he went to the House of Representatives to appeal for the approval of a second tranche of 200 million dollars loan out of the 600 million dollars World Bank loan which the government intends to use part of to finance the project.
He said he could not give a date of completion as it is tied to so many things, including challenges that were observable and “those that are not very observable but surface on the field and have to be solved.”
.
The only reason why they can complete it now is because Governor Sanwo-Olu got a funding assistance from the Central Bank.
This should be easy to understand (in fact, I am convinced that you know this, but you are just pretending).
anonimi: If Lagosians are smart as they claim to be, should they not have been riding the light rail since June 2013 as promised by Fashola in January 2013? Are Lagosians really smart, or they are just as dumb as the 200 million Nigerians who enjoy suffering and smiling simultaneously?
How would that have been possible when funding of the project was blocked by the Federal Government? Can you tell us what happened to the loan guarantee (I'll give you a hint, the same problem that happened during the Shagari era). Stop the spin.
Funding Hampers Lagos-Badagry Expressway —Fashola
Wednesday, January 9, 2013 2:31 pm
Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State says completing the Lagos-Badagry Expressway is tied to funding, which the state government is currently grappling with.
The governor also disclosed plans to build 1008 flats estate this year in Ijora area of the state as part of plans to enable many people own their homes.
Fashola spoke during a tour of projects across Lagos, southwest Nigeria on Tuesday, saying that funding is one of the determinants of the project.
He explained thatbit is one of the reasons why he went to the House of Representatives to appeal for the approval of a second tranche of 200 million dollars loan out of the 600 million dollars World Bank loan which the government intends to use part of to finance the project.
He said he could not give a date of completion as it is tied to so many things, including challenges that were observable and “those that are not very observable but surface on the field and have to be solved.”
He said that contrary to insinuations in certain quarters that works on the road had stopped, a lot of work is actually going on, adding that what “is going on now is a soil replacement process as shown by the observed heaps of sand because the soil in the area has become unsuitable having been used as a refuse dump over the years.
“There is also a pipe network just as there is a need to take care of a gas pipeline and the relocation of all the electricity cables. The construction workers cannot just go in and remove PHCN cable without getting the PHCN involved.
“We are at the stage where we are relocating facilities. That is why to the uninformed, it would appear as if we have stopped work. We have not stopped work, relocation of those facilities is going on,” he stated.
Fashola also said the issue of relocation of affected residents was also on going as compensation was being given to people who have had to give up their properties so that the work could be done.
“So, be very sure that casting and preparation of all the concrete is going on behind the scene. By the time we finish the relocation and the contractor moves to positioning the things, it would be quicker than you think and you would think it happened overnight,” he stated.
On the Okota Road expansion, Fashola stated that the community had outgrown the road and that there was a need to expand it, saying this explained the need to increase infrastructure investment.
He said that the population had grown many times past where the government did not build infrastructure to support the road, stressing that as government moved to address that deficit the population has not stopped growing.
“So, we are trying to expand Okota Road and some of the properties needed to give way. Everybody wants a good road but no one wants it to pass through his house. So, some of the tenements took us to court and I think we have settled out of court now and we have to pay compensation,” he said.
On the Light Rail Project, Fashola said the first phase of the project would be ready in June, while work on the rail would continue to Okokomaiko even as the expansion of the Lagos-Badagry expressway continues.
“You know we have the two projects linked together, the road expansion and the Light Rail simultaneously.”
And now we are trying to see how we can take the rail from the National Theatre to Marina. Hopefully, when that is done, we can heave a sigh of relief. Though there is still work to be done, so far so good.
“This is what we do with the money which we borrow; we do not borrow money to pay salaries, we don’t borrow money to run our overhead. We are investing it in infrastructure. This is the type of transportation that I dream for this country; this is the type of transportation that I dream for this state and not mass transportation by motorcycles,” he stated.
He noted that China opened what is, perhaps, the fastest high speed rail in the world that covered about 300 kilometres per hour, stressing that, “why can’t that happen here? It is really no rocket science, if we can’t invent it, we can buy it and that is what we are doing. We are buying facilities to have it installed here.” The governor urged residents of Iganmu not dump refuse along the road, saying that there was need to keep the surroundings of the project clear of refuse, adding that “you should take ownership of the project”
Projects inspected by the governor during the tour are the Iganmu, Alaba and Mile 2 Light Rail Stations, on-going projects at the Lagos State University (LASU), Maternal and Child Care Centre, FESTAC, Okota-Ago Palace Road, Ejigbo-Ajao Link Bridge, network of roads around Jimoh Ajao Street, Igando HOMS and Resettlement Relief Camp, Igando, on-going projects at Alimosho General Hospital (School of Nursing and Hostel among others) and Samuel Jinadu Street at Markaz area of Orile Agege, among others.

2023 presidency: Goodluck Jonathan not declaring – Former aide, Reno Omokri
Published on April 24, 2022 By Ochogwu Sunday
Reno Omokri, a former media aide to ex-president Goodluck Jonathan has debunked reports that his former boss would soon declare to run for the 2023 presidential elections.
Reports had earlier emerged that Jonathan, whose poster surfaced in some parts of the country recently, would soon join the presidential race.
The former president had while addressing his supporters who protested at his Abuja residence asking him to declare, said he “can’t tell” whether to run yet, asking them to be on the lookout.
Meanwhile, a post by Reno Omokri on his official Facebook page on Sunday urged Nigerians to a comment by the Arise TV’s “The Morning Show” presenter, Reuben Abati that Jonathan would soon declare.
According to Reno, the former Nigerian leader has not made such a statement, saying it was the imagination of the journalist.
He said, “Disregard the news credited to Reuben Abati that former President Jonathan will soon declare. He never made any statement like that. At best, it is a figment of the imagination of that journalist #FakeNews!”
