This rail line is different from the design Jakande gave back then.

Sanwo Olu himself mentioned that Tinubu created the framework for this particular blue line but a nobody from Abakaliki do not want us to say Tinubu is the originator. Such nonsense!

Yea, in Lagos they build for the future because they follow an established blue print. Whether it is achievable in 3,7, or 10 years, so far it is achieved, we are fine with it.

Obi pandora promised an Onitsha monorail but almost 10 years after, they haven’t laid a single block of foundation. Can you see the diffeeence?

This is just like me saying "OBASANJO's Abuja-Kaduna railway" or "OBASANJO's Lagos-Ibadan railway". Afterall , the framework and rail modernisation masterplan were drawn under OBJ.

How dumb would I be sounding by doing that? Someone didnt drop a down payment or mobilisation funds enough to buy roasted boli, but you think it's sensible to call it his project after the construction fro 0-100% was completed by others?

jeromestarks:
I'm not a supporter of BAT but, I think he has done well by chosing credible leaders for Lagos state.

I'm just trying to be sincere here. Political party aside. Hating aside. Just be sincere.

Lagos is the smallest state in Nigeria but its richer than almost all other states put together. With that level of financial power, anybody who governs Lagos would look like a messiah, even if they steal or squander 90% of the state's resources (which unfortunately is usually the case).

I remember how Buba Marwa, the military administrator just before Tinubu was also touted as an outstanding messiah. But no sooner than he left office, oga launched an airline (Albarka Air). How does a Colonel in the military whose salary then wasnt even up to N200k afford several aircrafts?

Tinubu strangely is one of the few Lagos governors who after 8 solid years, doesnt have any single legacy project to his name. His only achievement as governor was to privatise the entire resources of the state, while becoming a godfather extraordinaire who has since 1999 been handpicking every single political office holder in the state and large parts of the south west.

For a lack of what to ascribe to him as achievement, his sycophants now claim his handpicking of candidates from councilors to Governor is an achievement? I never knew godfatherism was an acheivement to be proud of. Africa I hail!

Tagging it TINUBU's rail has to be the most deluded nonsense I've heard from sycophants since this election season. A rail that has been in the PLANNING stage since the 60's, Tinubu was governor for 8 solid years but couldn't even make a down payment for roasted corn. Tinubu didnt drop a dime for the railway and didnt buy a single block for the project. But After Fashola, Ambode and Sanwo have built it, sycophants here are calling it "TINUBU rail'.

So Igbos suddenly woke up and started to terrorise and kill their fellow Igbos since 2020? It's only a fool who would not see the underlying Islamists who are behind the scenes.

You must be a person of low intelligence quotient. Stop quoting me, abeg.

I should stop quoting you? Of course who wants to keep quoting a brainwashed lowlife without a brain? I only quoted you because I got severely irritated and angered by the nonsense you wrote. Against the silent voices of reason, people like you supported this UGM madness when it started. And now, instead of acknowledging the error, you still foolishly try to defend the madness by claiming it is caused by outsiders.

Up till today, even with the visible crisis at hand, we still have some stupid IPob adherents glorifying and defending the sit-at-home nonsense. WHen the brainless overzealous ones go out to forcibly enforce it, people like you who nurtured the foolishness still have the guts to come publicly to claim Fulanis are responsible. And you dare talk of IQ? Are you sure you're okay upstairs?

Like I said before, the criminals who invaded and extorted innocent people right in the centre of my community were Igbos; they literally disarmed and brutalised the vigilante guys and on several occasions, and on several occasions have gone from house to house extorting money from whoever they deemed fit. There are numerous witnesses to this, some of the culprits were even known, yet you foolishly sit behind your computer to tell me they are FUlanis? You must be really sick!

Nchenches:
From Ilorin or Abeokuta, you knew it was Igbos killing Igbos. Fool. Who killed the church goers in Owo, Ondo State in your backyard?

Nothing has obviously been learnt by this one and nothing has changed. We're talking about hoodlums terrorising and robbing and even killing people in the south east, some sick clowns are diverting the story to the south west. Apparently, some ignorant idiots will always remain ignorant idiots till death. A very easy way to identify retardss with this strain of dumbness is that their slow brains always automatically concludes that anyone who speaks against the crisis of the UGM and the foolishness of those who support them MUST BE YORUBA. What an easy way to identify your brand of idiocy!

I am an Igbo man, have always been and forever will be till death, and both the UGM hoodlums and the idiots who foolishly glorify their activities are pure Igbos. The criminals have visited and extorted people right in the centre of my community; they've even literally disarmed and brutalised the vigilante guys in my community and on several occasions, gone house to house to extort money from whoever they deemed fit.

Like I said before, anybody claiming that the UGM aren't Igbos is either a silly ignorant fellow, an armed robber himself, or just an idiot. THe people aren't ghosts; they are normal humans, pure Igbos, and are well known by the communities they terrorise. The people are nothing but armed robbers who receive endorsements from idiots and ignoramuses like yourself.

Nchenches:
True. But some SW MURIC people tag Igbos as killers of Igbos in the SE.
The MURIC people know that it's the same Islamists who hide under IPOB/ESN do the killings, sometimes recruit some hungry Igbo youths to join the killers.

THis deluded mentality needs to be thrown in the bin as quickly as possible; can we stop fooling ourselves and denying an obvious reality. The people killing Igbos are Igbos and when this monster was being birthed and nurtured, sensible people warned and cried against it but the larger mob of ignoramuses always found a way to drown the voice of reason.

Right here on Nairaland, when the whole IPob movement started assuming a fanatical dimension, several people warned about the outcome but were insulted by your likes. When the useless sit at home thing started, several sensible people spoke against it but were insulted; or was it when the fanaticism metamorphosed into UGM, several people desperately warned against it. Even a person with the most basic form of wisdom could easily predict as far back as early 2021 that the UGM thing would degenerate into a crisis for Igbos and Igboland, but the mob of ignorant fanatics always shutdown this alternative opinion. I can't count the number of insults and threats to life I've received right on this forum simply for airing my opinion on the dangers of UGM and Ipob fanaticism.

But here we are, the ignoramuses who birtherd and grew the monster instead of admitting guilt, are still foolishly turning around to blame FUlanis. Anyway, at least some progress has been made; at least some of you who glorified the madness of the hoodlums just a while ago have now finally realised they are a problem.

Unlike the UK, Nigeria is a country marred by mind boggling insecurity. So I dont think there's anything out of place for the police to provide armed security for visiting foreign personalities who would only be around for a brief period.

Where the real problem lies is the 'big men' all over Nigeria who 'possess' the policemen, using them as personal bodyguards, maiguards and personal thugs.

ecolime:
He's been retired already. When last have you heard from him since the APC primaries?

Don't wine with the devil dem no go hear. APC will use and dump you.

Where are the likes of Rochas, Umayi, Akpabio, etc. today?

As a 2 term minister under this administration, how exactly was he used an dumped? Perhaps Buhari should have resigned and handed over Aso Rock to him?

MandelaLives:
Is it just me? This doesn't make a single sense to me. We are rooting for Obi and any person can join us in doing this. We can't control those who join us. But, what matters is Nigeria and Obi. So, wtf about removing brain? Meanwhile, is Okupe the most corrupt out there. Where are the other guys who are being accused with him? So, you need to do something about your own brains and realise that this is a clear case of political witch-hunt.

You're actually responding to a post by brainless people who have since lost ideas on how best to pull Obi down. Nothing they say surprises me anymore...

donbrowser:


Funny how this guy is now one of the Messiahs

So because Okupe supports Obi, it automatically makes him a 'messiah'? So me too I'm a messiah because I support Obi?

I think some of you qualify to also be described with that Okupe brainless analogy.

The very same people accusing Obi of deporting destitutes to Ebonyi and Akwa-Ibom are the very same set of people who vehemently defended Fashola for doing same thing just about the same period.

Likewise, the very same people who called for Fashola's neck for deporting beggars to Osun and Onitsha are the very same person defending Obi for the same act today.

Politics has a way of turning adults to clowns.

This is really sad!

owobokiri:
You will NEVER see Raji Fasholas pictures as he commissions any other projects in igboland after 8 years as the Works Minister, apart from the commissioning of The Ziks mussoleum and of course this highly over dramatized Second Niger bridge! Do your research! Fashola did nothing in the South East. All the roads he pretended to be working on since 2015 are still being worked on as we speak. Infact, State governors in the East have now taken over the construction of federal roads over there while the federal government is busy doing road projects in Niger republic!

This recurring display of toxic bigotry and hatred by some of you keeps getting more and more disgusting by the day. You claim this bridge is the only project completed in the south east by Fashola in 8 years; kindly point out the projects completed by the same Fashola in the following zones:
North-West
North-East
North-Central
South-south and
South-west

Myst everything in Nigeria be put in the SE before we go rest? Someone reading what you wrote would think Fashola has turned every other zone in Nigeria to Dubai.

Self inflicted problems. Meanwhile one imbecilic baboon is still running loose in Finland.

yemex04:
The bolded is what the policy aims at reducing significantly.It is up to that because the window to make it happen is still widely made open until this policy.If the policy is strictly implemented I bet people will get used to it and those rejecting it would have no options than to embrace it.In my view,the policy has its Disadvantages but the Advantages far outweigh the Disadvantages

The issue is that you don't just get born today and start running immediately; Nigeria barely has the basic systems in place to support cashlessness.

Entprys:
A loud booing was misundertood by his sheepish followers to be cheering.
Obi was pratically shunned, physically disregarded in shillo.

Shameful

So you're saying that thing we all heard and watched in that video is booing?... Sometimes one wonders how people just come onlline to embarass themselves because of politics.

kingsways:
Such a person is a crook and must be treated as such

*Almost all corruption and criminality in Nigeria happen in cash

* kidnappers collect cash

* Armed robbers collect cash

* Criminal elements collect bribe in cash

* Criminal public and civil servants are able to steal and divert public funds if they have access to them in cash

* politicians buy votes in cash

In fact 90% Nigeria security and corruption problems will be solved if cash transactions is completely done away with

Only a poor person or a young person still being spoonfed thinks there's nothing wrong with a N100,000 weekly cash withdrawal limit in a country where possibly over 80% of transactions are still done in cash. You don't get born and just start running; Nigeria isn't ripe yet for such extreme cashless policy. In a typical week, money spent on tranportation, feeding, tipping the ever hailing securiy men at estate gates or restaurant doors and many more mushroom transactions can easily add up to over N100k; many people dont even have bank accounts in Nigeria. So to wake up one morning and arbitrarily fix a N100,000 limit in a whole week? Whoever came up with such policy must be on some hard drugs.

fuckJones:
To all Peter Obi’s supporters, may your life be like Anambra state on a Monday.

Can I hear a big amen?

To all ApC supporters, may your lives be as peaceful as Sambisa forest, may you be guarded by the herdsmen guarding Benue state and may you be served by the amiable 'Bandits of the north-west'!

Say Amen!

Beautiful music to my ears...

He actually did well (for the first time) in the BBC interview. No gaffes, nothing to laugh about.

All over twitter and the internet, Tinubu supporters have finally found their voices and are in wild jubilation for the successful completion of the first gaffeless interview - You can clearly tell they all had their hearts in their hands while watching....

Probably if he becomes president, he would have to invite BBC to arrange all his interviews. Cos while his people claim ARISE TV is against him, he's also dodged the NTA townhall and even interviews with his own TVC.

This Reno guy na big mumu

JosephXavier:
Whatever Peter Obi is doing now is what Buhari did in 2015 but Agbado and Mikano people are. now crying blood

Shiloh don start
Followed by Pastor Chris' crossover night

Na the Shiloh appearance I just dey wait for.... Even the Bishop and church members go also collect wotowoto for Agbado and Mikano group hand

Rufai quite often gets over his head but to say he wants to kill Reno (some even say its cos of Mr Obi) has to be the dumbest desperate trash I've come across in a long time.

Meanwhile this is coming from the same Reno who's well known for creating and spreading fake audio and written propaganda tapes for politics. From doctored Amaechi audio to fake Wendel Simlins fabrications against Sanusi.

Dem dey find who to kill for politics, dem no say make dem kill better person na the 'small goat' wey dey exile dey run mouth for twitter?

sonofthunder:
I don't know who you hate. Calling out someone or something doesn't equate hatred so stop being petty.


Rather than responding to issues your are shifting the point.

Okay maybe not hate, but more like an obsession. What issues exactly were you talking about? Obi's campaign schedule? Can his campaign really make you change your mind and support his candidacy?

Or is it his visit to churches? Churches are crowded grounds and it only makes sense for a campaigning politician to be drawn to crowded places to show his face to people. Traditional campaigns arent cheap to organise, and not every contestant has the financial war chest of APC and PDP. Meanwhile nothing stops other candidates from visiting any crowded place of their choice.

sonofthunder:
False sir.

If Atiku or Tinubu attends an Islamic gathering like this, you all will scream islamisation agenda.

Obi is just playing Tetris with you guys.

Better wise up.

If he failed in governing a small nation called Anambra, he'll most likely end up a collosal failure in Nigeria but I will love to be proven wrong.

Question that keeps ringing in my head, if you hate Obi so much, why are you so bothered about his campaign schedule?

What do we call this one? Busy bodyism or just a confused hater?

By the way, if Atiku or Tinubu likezls, they're free to go to any mosque of their choice; infact they're very free to also attend church gatherings - they will equally be accorded same front-row respect as Obi irrespective of theit religious inclination.

Aemmyjah:
Christians putting their hope in man
A politician- a Catholic that does not even share christian beliefs as other groups going from church to church to turn hearts to himself as hope

What does the Bible says?
Cursed is the man that put his trust in fellow man

Imagine being under a curse from God himself?!

Lol... wetin be this ?

I guess I should put my trust in the other shady corrupt fellows instead. At least one of them even speaks in strange tongues (blbla bua bluea) and has anointed men who come on air each time to interpret the gibberish.

sonofthunder:
Has he attended any of the previous years or the hypocrisy in him is currently manifesting ?

Oga, it is called 'campaigning'. You dont go about campaigning when there's no election. During campaigns, you tend to present yourself wherever there's a crowd. If it pains you that Obi has visited several crowded church gatherings, you can tell your candidate to do same.

KingKO22:
The man done cash out.


gullible IPOB should be subjected to psychiatric test for constituting nuisance on cyber space

You think every contestant is a thief and fraudster like your candidate?

Lol.. jokers... They're gradually kicking themselves out and falling into PDP for Atiku. Even Buhari himself may be voting Atiku in 2023. Theres some rumours of several APC NASS members about cross over to PDP too...

The Northerners and tribal politics, FEAR NORTH!

lhordspy:
An outrageous Pension bill for ex-govs. was passed under his administration with him been fully in support of it. Infact he clamoured strongly for it .
Then on completion of his tenure, when he should start exploiting from the dubious bill he himself orchestrated. He rejected it all, as an ex-Gov himself.

It means just one thing only: he had stolen enough.

You claim he clamoured for it yet he rejected it? Isnt that counterintuitive?

Hatred for the man Obi (due to politics or ethnicity) keeps making people reason upside down.

The very fact that he rejected it amd never touched the devilish allowances proves to any sensible person that he was opposed to it.
