Politics › Do State Governments Have The Power To Seal Up Federal Government Institutions? by Niorte(op): 4:44pm On Oct 05, 2018
I actually need some clarifications on this. I went to the National Horticultural Research Institute, (NIHORT) Ibadan, yesterday to get something done. To my surprise, the Oyo state government had locked up the research institute on account of tax issues.

While inquiring further, I was told the tax issue was dated back between 2003 and 2008. My question is, does the state government has power to lock up a federal government establishment?

this jimi is a joker, i remembered he said live on tv that he is contesting anymore, and then he shows up after four years of making that statement to contest for the post again, says alot about his person..congrat sanwoolu
Do you also remember Buhari said so after losing three times?
Politics › Re: Jimi Agbaje wins Lagos PDP Governorship Primary by Niorte: 3:52pm On Oct 05, 2018
I remembered during the debate of Fashola and JK..... It was a flawless victory for JK. I liked his articulation and presentation. If voting was by who won a debate, JK would had been the Governor of Lagos State.

I am looking forward to the debate between JK and Sanwo-Olu.

Buhari failed three times before he became the President therefore, there is much hope for JK

deomelo:
The issue on the table is more than what you are talking about, performance in Lagos is based on your ability to read basic road map, follow template, master plan and road guide passed on to incoming governors to follow. Ambode failed because he did not follow the road map given to him.


How hard is it to follow simple instructions?


It's like failing WAEC with goof proof expo in your face


Ambode is sadly the architect of his own failure and downfall because all he had to do was follow and utilize the template in front of him.
It is a pity. You wrote about Road Maps. You let politicians keep deceiving you or you are a politician yourself.

My question to you. Have you seen the road map yourself? Have you seen the master plan? Is the master plan supposed to be hidden from the public if truly there is one?

The hard truth is that Ambode's issue is not about performance but politicking.

Calling Ambode a failure is very uncharitable! No government in this world is good in every sector. He might have gone low in the environment issue. But I dare say, both Tinubu and Fashola cannot compete with Ambode when it comes to empowerment and human development. Fashola worked on things. Ambode develops people. Lagos State Employment Trust Fund is there to show. CodeLagos project is there and many other training programs for Lagosians.

The problem with us is that when someone goes wrong in one area, we tend to make look bad in other areas. That a student failed Chemistry in WAEC as a Science student did not mean He was a poor students, have you considered his Physics, Mathematics, Biology etc. No wonder our Judiciary is corrupt. We are very sentimental.

Lol!!!

I will only use one of your own point against you. As old as you are you dont know what Oshodi looks like before Fashola.I cant really see any significant improvement apart from the ongoing construction that will never finish even if given 8 years. Now if you dont know Oshodi looked before Fashola then you dont deserve to talk about it. Whatever Ambode must have done is a child play compare to Fashola.This is a fact.

Now that same Oshodi - I hope you know Agege motor road and the substandard road he is constructing with quack engineers everywhere.So they are stopping visionscape to do their work. I am hearing this for the first time. When was the last time they came to ur place? So politicians are telling people to dump refuse on the roads? Smh!!!
Let's accept APC has failed Lagosians. APC gave us Ambode the failure, thereby retarding the development of Lagos. Now they are bringing up Sanwo-Olu, the question is can we still trust them?

They are all hailing Fashola today but when Fashola presented Shasore and Hamzat, this same Tinubu insisted on Ambode.... Can we still trust him. NO is the answer. If Ambode that was an accountant general could perform as a failure as you have said, what do we expect from Sanwo-Olu who at best is managing LSDPC

It's just a reflection.
God knows why he let me have that experience.
It was like showing me what would cause his downfall.
Fallacy of hasty generalisation.
How can someone who did not know you snub you? Did you wave to him and expect a wave back?
Did you know what mood he was?

You can only snub someone who you know but don't want to relate with or someone who tries to get your attention.

Someone was inside his car and you said he snub you. Please go get a life.

This is where the problem lies Nigerians are miraculous people always looking for miracles everywhere. I have always said something and I will keep saying it - Nigeria is not a rich country as the politicians preach as well as most Nigerians believe. The politicians tell you so to justify their fat salaries and allowances.Nigeria is rich in terms of mineral resources but not financially there is difference between both. Now you want everything to be fixed and look like london or dubai without comparing their budget with ours. We are import based nation and our economy will always depend on the dollars. Now convert the so called Lagos state budget to the dollars and compare with standard cities all over the world.Notice how small it is. Now you want him to perform miracle from nowhere and use the little he had then to build dubai or new york?

If you critically analyse it you will know that Fashola perform excellently with the little he had.
In case you don't know, the money that FG owed Lagos state during Tinubu/Obasanjo tenure was paid during Fashola's administration. So there was lots of money to us. I won't take away the fact that Fashola did well during his First term. His second term was average performance

TrueNigerian300:
I have always believe that Fashola is an excellent public administrator and today I was proved right beyond reasonable doubt that he is. Was inside BRT with a woman in her 50s and she started talking about how Ambode failed and all that. She talked about all I have observed about this FAILURE called Ambode. I kept listening to her until the word God bless you ma'am came out of my mouth. She asked where Tinubu got Fashola and that she hope Sanwolu was gotten from the same place or else they go back where Fashola was picked. She said it would have been better if our constitution allows Fashola to continue. Finally she said Fashola should be used as a standard for any Lagos state governor which I truly believe. This is what we are trying to tell all those people shouting Ambode up and down.

Ambode performance is far far far far far below that of the great Fash. Infact only a confused and deluded person will ever even think of comparing the two.And one thing to note is that Fashola beats nigerian standard 1000000 times and can be compared to any standard obtainable anywhere in the world. This is not about exaggeration or anything even the world could see then with his numerous awards. This shows that Fash will perform excellently anywhere in the world as far as public administration is concerned. The guy tries to understand the problem and how people feel before preferring solutions.

Now let's come to Ambode aka Mr FAILURE. This dude failed even when using nigerian standard not to talk of international. People are not even scared throwing dirt on the road again can you try it during Fashola's time. I remember his tenure you dare not throw anything through your vehicle's windows. No matter who you are you dare not pass through the BRT lane else you gonna have a conversation with Mr Fash. I was almost crying when a boy begged his father that he just want to shake Fashola's hand the father went to Fashola aides to request that his son will like to shake him and he granted it. What I am trying to say hear is he was loved as governor simply because of his performance. Fash was an household name.He was an action governor when he talks you pick sense in it even when you dont agree with him. Can the same be said of Mr FAILURE. Whenever this FAILURE opens his mouth what comes out is rubbish and you keep wondering if is a governor.
Thank you for the long story.

As old as you are, you believed the woman simply because she said what you wanted to hear.

In all honesty, compare Oshodi during Fashola and Ambode's tenure

Compare that smelling Ojota during Fashola and Ambode's tenure

Please compare Berger during Fashola and Ambode's tenure

Compare Ajah traffic during Fashola and Ambode's tenure.


That you hate or are told to hate someone should not stop you from saying the truth.

Fashola did well in his term. Ambode is also doing well. Don't try to paint Fashola as Mr Perfect, he had his errors too.

Do you think dirtiness of the environment is not politically motivated. You may not believe this. The LAWMA people were only trying to make a statement hence they create more problem from the new competitor.

Here is a country where someone will tar a road, and enemies of progress will go at odd hours to create potholes on the road just for political noise.

Tinubu has won the battle but he has already lost the war.

Many people pleaded with him but he turned deaf ears claiming his supporters would not accept. But we all know that when he sneezes, his supporters catch cold. President, governors, leaders and other high ranking politicians begged him and he insisted NO. A day will come, he also will beg and no one will hear him. Except the law of diminishing return ceases to hold

Politics › Re: Reno Omokri Debunks Buhari's Independence Day Speech by Niorte:
Ambode is the first politician that will be love by the masses but hated by greedy politicians.

We have seen Ambode's performance, how can a reasonable person support a candidate who he cannot vouch for his performance.

Ambode is an accountant, it is true many accountant and frugal with money. It is part of their profession to ensure accountability. This is the pain of APC and Tinubu.

Ambode has blocked many financial leakages.

If the masses fail to stand by Ambode, we can be sure Sanwo-Olu will be loyal to the politicians and not the public when he emerges a Governor.

The fight is not about

Ambode Vs Sanwo-Olu

It is about

The Public Interest Vs Politicians Interest

It is about

For those who are outside Lagos and fed with propaganda. Ambode is not hated by all these people social media write about. Many of the politicians posters in Lagos include the picture of Ambode until Tinubu went against him.

People who are against Ambode are people who don't have political influence and receive order from above.

Why should APC do OPEN DIRECT PRIMARY? It is because they are afraid that all those singing praises of Sanwo-Olu would go ahead and support Ambode.

No matter the outcome of the election, APC is already a loser. If Ambode won, Tinubu and his gang would work against him. If Sanwo-Olu won, the other party would capitalise on the allegation levelled against him. How would APC campaigned, that all Ambode had done was not part of the master plan....so they have cost us 4 years.... How sure are we the next person they are bringing on board won't do likewise. Be wise, support the person the politicians are against. Nigerian politicians do not have our interest at heart

We all only speak based on what we know. Lagos has a well-informed minds. Any action against Ambode now will be seen as persecution. They can not impeach Ambode without a cause. Not even at this moment when all politicians are trying to garner votes for themselves.
Ambode is an accountant and knows a lot about who and who is collecting Lagos money, the same way he knows where to block. It will be difficult to impeach him on something of substance. Lagos politics is quite different from Naija politics.

That is the main reason our politicians steal and be using the corrupt gotten wealth to be chasing girls like yahoo yahoo boys.
And the poor will also be looking for sex even when they have not see food to eat.

Educating the populace through formal and informal means. Liaising with religious leaders etc.

Politics › Is It Right To Fix Election Primaries On National Independence Day? by Niorte(op): 8:03pm On Sep 30, 2018
Nigeria celebrates its independence every year on October 1st, both in the capital Abuja and 36 states. The President broadcasts a live speech on television and radio to mark the commencement of Independence Day celebrations. There will be flag raising ceremony to honor the nation. The armed forces parades with cultural dances are followed after the Presidential speech. The dance troops, singers, students from all states take part in the Independence Day celebration. On this day homage is paid to the freedom fighters and other national leaders who fought for the independence of Nigeria from the colonial rule. The celebration is an ideal platform for national integration in Nigeria.

I don't know the deadline given to all parties to conduct their primaries. But I find it insensitive of the APC-led Federal Government to shift gubernatorial primaries to Nigerian Independence Day.

I maintained that Sunday was not a good choice because it is a religious day for the Christian, I also believe Monday would have been a better day save for the Independence Day. APC should have thought deeply especially as politicians

Politics › What You Don't Know About APC Presidential Primaries by Niorte(op): 9:46pm On Sep 29, 2018
I am a Nigerian who desires progress and development of this Nation. I believe a party based on propaganda cannot take us to the promise land. Let me tell you what you may not know about APC presidential primaries and the fake results being circulated.

First: Did election actually hold? From a reliable source, I was told there was no election in a particular local government and I assume same for others but only names where submitted. Of course more names could be written just to increase the numbers. Election did not hold, names were only collated. Whether present or not.

Secondly, APC are mischievously rolling out imaginative figures so that during election by next year February, they will use these figures to rig elections.

Take for example, in 2015 presidential election in Kano,
APC had 1,903,999 votes while PDP had 215,779 votes according to INEC. The almost 2 million votes of APC included those who were not party members and at a time when everyone was optimistic about the party. Fast forward to 2018... They are rolling out over 2 million votes as registered party members in Kano alone, how possible?

While in Imo state, APC had 133,253 votes in presidential election of 2015, fast forward to 2018.... they are rolling out over 600 thousands votes as party members ONLY.

Fellow nonpartisan Nigerians, subtracting 133000 from 600000, we will have over 450000. Where did the 450000 new votes came from between 2015 and 2018 when many people who supported APC then are now alone and full of regrets.


Finally, it took INEC almost a day to count results of about 4 local government with voters less than 5000 votes in Osun state but APC Kano was able to roll out over 2 million votes within a day. How possible?

It is surprising to see that APC figures are more than the total voters of 2015 presidential election as recorded by INEC

The last person that will be a bigot is neither Tinubu or Fashola whose wives are both christians. Besides this is Southwest where Muslims and Christians mix freely without prejudice or sense of fear. I'm a christian, my uncle is a muslim and we interact well and respect each others views.

whatever date was chosen by the NWC, infact it was recently moved to tell you that's not the initial date chosen, also it is set by the NWC which means from Abuja so it's in the overall interest of all participants.

We need to practice Unity and Tolerance in our views and stop this parochial tribal thinking that leads us nowhere
What do you then say about the NWC now that it has been shifted?

Anyway, I have make my point known and the real and important people have read and done the needful. Let the sycophants keep applauding and defending every of their action.

Nobody is forcing you not to go church, it is your choice as a church goer. But you cannot force a non-religious organisation not to fix its events on any particular day of week.

Refrain from mixing religion and politics.
You are certainly naive to think politics can survive without religion. If I may ask, why the Muslim-Christian ticket? Why not Muslim-Muslim ticket or Christian-Christian ticket.

Nigerians are very sensitive to religion. This may not happen in other countries but here in Nigeria, it is evident. Why do politicians want to identify with Muslims celebrations and Christians gathering? It is to boost their political ambition.

Let APC field Muslim-Muslim ticket in Lagos and let's watch how it goes.

You admitted not seeing the September 30th date yet you went further to defend their choice. What happens to September 29th? Why can't they fixed the Presidential Primaries for Sunday. Fact is Nigeria is a very religious country and a party that mean good must put this into cognisance.

Ambode is gone! I hope he's compensated with a federal appointment
Just being analytical. I'm referring to the leadership of APC and not the person of Tinubu or Fashola.

Ambode is a Christian
Sanwo-Olu is a Muslim
Hamzat is a Muslim

Why should primary hold on a religious day. That is not fair to Ambode.

If the people reject Ambode, no problem but putting him at a disadvantage by the system is unfair.

There is always the law of diminishing return.
