The difference between an administrator governor and a politican governor is populism

There are things you recognise as an administrator that need to be done. To keep the state budget balanced, to increase public safety, to prepare schools for the future. But the populace don't want these things

As a governor osho went on a teacher certification exercise. It revealed multiple teachers were not qualified. Osho announced he would sack them and there was a wave of complaints. It is wickedness. These are breadwinners etc. Eventually osho the politician, mindful of the next election backed down

El rufai the administrator, the man who restored the abuja master plan, face the same issue and he bulldozed his way through it. The academic future of Kaduna is better for it, but I guarantee this and other issues cost apc the election

Now we are in election season and sanwo is adopting populist moves, moves that will be celebrated as human feeling, but will set actual progress back

It is a slippery slope when you give into populism. Arrest owners of dangerous trailers - wickedness. Arrest one way drivers wickedness. Ban okada. Wickedness. Build bridge and demolish houses in the way - wickedness

It is also the story of how aregbe the politician bleeped up osun royally and then started fighting with Oyetola the administrator who was correcting the mess.

But the people don't care about balanced budget.bring us the jolly politico who lets the good times roll.

This was one of the benefits of Tinubus running of Lagos. The governor handles the administration, Tinubu run the politics and the projects and initiatives get done. Stakeholder management is always a mf.

I am not in support of this and I do not think it bodes well for lagos, which already has an order problem

Impounding vehicles and auctioning them off should be illegal…. That’s China style of governance but if it stops people driving one way… I’m all for it.

I thought Ritalin and Adderall are to make you calmer as I heard they give it to kids who have ADHD and cannot sit still to make them chill

Why do Meth users have that dirty look, If the high for coke only last 30mins then you need multiple to do an all nighter and thus you become an addict

BTW We have taken screenshot of this comments as your endorsement of EscoBAT Jagaban and we Obidient have this in our archives

For this page… anything can be used against you

OasisX:
..... both at this juncture. Those that voted LP didn't do so coz of candidates party presented, rather cos of Peter Obi.

Or people are tired of PDP and APC plus y'all said if he will get impeached if he wins.... so they voted top to bottom.

OasisX:


Elections never end, the party don dey díè slowly. LP has collapsed Structures with PDP in Oyo States and some other States.

Massive defection loading in few months time.

Are you supporting Tinubu or APC member in disguise?…

raumdeuter:
How he ended it was great

You know what my parents taught me?

Don't fight in front of white people

Plus when he said he was raised right and he’s not a victim

Rock will cash out from this show as so many people were expecting him to say something….

raumdeuter:
Has anyone watched Chris Rock on Netflix

I love his comedy and I recommend

Loved the ending bit where he fully tackled Will Smith

afrodoc2:
People don't understand the amount of effort it takes to watch some of these matches. I thank God for that principle sha. Imagine doing night vigil only to concede 7 goals.

Under Ole I stopped completely before they spoil my day

EmmanuelScott1:
Bro if valentine ozigbo is labour gubernatorial candidate for Anambra governorship election, I will vote for him over Soludo.

If the man emerge as labour candidate, it will be hard for Soludo to win.

I’m all for whoever go tax Onitsha people especially 😵‍💫

Donjazet2:
The political situation in the south east is a very very funny one right now..

How could the regional leaders be so blind to what was happening under their nose?

Almost every single consequential political leader of the south east fought obi publicly and spoke against him, e come be like say dey no expect wetin dey sup for their own ground.

Now they are begging him here and there.

Reading chimaroke's latest tweet is the funniest thing I will ever see. . The man knows he's a goner already. Infact he has polluted every single person in Enugu that has contact with him.

As for soludo, soludo will go down in infamy as the most foolish politician nigeria has ever seen. I've never seen someone sacrifice every ounce of goodwill on the alter of all things, PETTINESS!
LIKE? If his letter condemning Obi was based on principle, one can understand, if he wrote a letter on why he thinks Obi is a bad person or not fit for office on something or the other, maybe past corruption or theft or anything at all that goes in contrary to what leadership should be, people can make sense of it. But everyone immediately saw his betrayal came from a place of selfish interest. He thought he should be what Obi was and now he has lost all political value in the state.

Soludo is now on no man's island. Valentine ozigbo is shoe in for governorship that's if soludo is not impeached before then..

PDP has firmly been destroyed in the south east. From abia to Enugu to Anambra to imo and ebonyi. PDP is now a goner. Labor number 1, apga a second choice. Obi is about to dismantle the party he built and build another one.

I think that it is generally a good thing that people winning elections in labor are those who didn't have to spend millions. The obidient movement has changed nigerian politics for good. On Saturday we move!!

Who will Labour bring out that’s better than Soludo?

People did top to bottom in presidential & house election but that won’t work in governorship elections.

No go choose weyrey as governor because e Dey labour Sha

No way Labour candidate in Lagos is better than the current APC governor

Labour can retire PDP in Abia and APC in IMO state… I might throw Enugu in the mix but I heard the labour candidate na thieve but PDP haven’t performed there since. Ebonyi don’t need Labour as their APC governor performed well

Why will Anambra leave a party giving technocrats the ticket for Labour

larride:
1. I am not on clubhouse.

2. You are sidestepping on the twitter space recording. The speaker clearly said they must win Lagos so that they can send them out of Lagos and own the land. That they have to win Lagos to be able to do business or even enter keke. This election is not the first time we are having election, when has the LASG govt or even Yorubas stopped anyone from doing business or even entering transportation in the state?

Nowhere in your post did you even attempt to condemn the recording you just hear as a campaign talk point. You dont know how provocative that recording is?

3. Whether Yorubas come out to vote APC alone and win is not the bone of contention, what happens after the election? Have we not been living together in harmony before?

You are clearly not seeing the seed that's being sowed into the ground.

Tribe shouldn't even be coming up as a talking point in a state election. Lagos is a Yoruba land and will remain so irrespective of what happens at the poll.

Every four years in Lagos, we keep hearing go back your lands if you don’t vote APC.

The Oba in my former area actually told his boys to scatter Igbo shops… The people in power in Lagos with loud voices are even the ones propagating the divide and nothing is being done

The audio if real is condemned and I never even hear am… Youths better wake up from tribalism and stop being politicians call dog.

This election proving agberoism ain’t stopping anytime in Lagos as those boys are much needed that even police Dey fear them


Look at this link and see hate everywhere

afrodoc2:
I woke up at 3am to watch it but immediately the first goal entered i went back to sleep. I promised myself long ago never to sacrifice my sleep unnecessarily ever again.

That’s what I usually do too… once we concede first… night night

Donjazet2:
Obaino, there was a certain picture you once posted here as to how the country would react if each candidate won. Can you please post it again.

The Mod deleted it here?

EmmanuelScott1:
Oasis Larride afrodoc2 obainojazz feeling awesome tonight 🤣

Tinubu the conqueror 😎

Thank God I no wake 3AM to watch the match 🤣🤣🤣

EmmanuelScott1:
Loss for words 🤦

WIKEd people

BlueRayDick:
Some of them are dumb naturally ; with or without the Obi movement , they are dumb .

I second

seankafor:
what's good for the goose 🦆 is also good for the ganders

What do you think 💬🤔?

I think they are stupid to think a man overseeing war in his country knows about rigging in another country.

Some people actually carried their stupidiiity internationally

EmmanuelScott1:
How did you carryout this analysis?

Maybe the “millions” of Igbos on twitter lol

raumdeuter:
Shift make I join you bros mi

You gats be G5 to siddon

Rest of us sitting and watching two people take over the group

afrodoc2:
Thanks 🙏

They just launch IBM come your side for nothing

emmaodet:
The problem i have with my Yoruba brothers is that they hardly travel to other parts of Southern Nigeria.
To them, Lagos is the all and all of Nigeria. They believe Nigeria starts and ends in Lagos.
Aside Lagos, the next place the typical yoruba man thinks of relocating to is abroad. To him, no other place is better than Lagos so why should he go the other way round when those people are coming to his side.
For some of us who are not homeboys (i usually use it as a name for the typical yorubas who never travelled out of South-west), we have travelled and seen other places and are marveled about what is going on over there.
I schooled in Oron, so i know how developed Uyo and environment is. Have been to Calabar and environment, been to many south-south states and south-east and i can categorically tell you, the south-wet is the most backward out of the 3 souths.
My brothers don't like hearing this. Some will call me omo-ale (a bastard) which is typical of them. I guess the truth hurts.
I do not say this to bring them down or denigrate them rather for us to sit-up and improve. There is no point living in self-denial.
Reason why i do tell them that Lagos/Tinubu/and other Lagos governors have all failed. They are serial failures.

You can't be generating this huge amount of money and your city still looks like a shit-hole.
If AKpabio can turn Akwa-ibom around in 8 years with the money he got which is not up to what Lagos is generating, tarred roads, built stadium, Standard hospital, now ibom-air yet lagos can float Lagos-air and many more and they think their governors are working, then something is wrong somewhere.
Tbh, i only have pity for them.

I had to check your profile to be sure you not another moniker.


I’ve been to all South East states except Ebonyi and I can say if you not from Lagos… one shouldn’t even talk about underdevelopment in south east

You need to see heavy development in Enugu and Owerri as I was shocked when I first when there.

DissTroy:
Akpabio 'chopped' our money well but he did well.

In fact, Akpabio was building federal roads with Akwa Ibom money.
Ikot Ekpene - Aba road was built with our moneybehcih hasn't been refunded.

Only the Akwa Ibom part of the Ikot Abasi - Eleme road is good and pliable. Rivers boys frustrated GEJ in 2010 when it begun while Akapbio was spending money to augment it.

Calabar - Itu road (the Akwa Ibom part).

I don't know how many cities have underground drainage systems but by 2011, Akpabio had built a drainage system in Uyo.
In fact, under Akwa Ibom when it was 100% mainained, 2 minutes after it rains in Uyo metropolis, you won't find a single drop of water on the roads.
Aks anybody.

Uyo drainage is one of the best in Africa..

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
U neva tell us wetin dey vex u(which comment com make u vex like dis?)...

Lagos na Yoruba land...u can talk abt 0ther issue but abeg die dis matter. make dem n0 turn dis thread 2 nl politics section.

Na young guy

Their country has been regressing for years and they are bothered about Nigeria 🤡

A40:
I don't know what Attah did. Some say he was the founding father and other governors built on what he did

I probably don’t know much about Ibom before then

DissTroy:
The Calabar you knew is dead. The current governor screwed everything up. Calabar is now dirty and unsafe. Withdrawing money from ATM after 5PM is at your own risk.

Uyo and Eket in Akwa Ibom are what you knew Calabar as. Although Eket is more expensive because of the oil companies around and expatriates living there. Ibeno with the longest natural beach in West Africa is close to Eket and is the closest you'd get to a Carribean-esque scenery in Nigeria.

Damm… they don spoil that city

Theflint1:
Abuja is another interesting place to live...Calabar and Abuja are very green cities, like if there are cities to raise a family in a way that's properly enjoyable and chill I'd probably pick Abuja then Calabar. Like seeing people sitting underneath trees surrounded by well-manicured grasses during the day was one culture shock I experienced when I visited Calabar, and Abuja is another city that's just like that.

Haven’t been to Abuja but I go visit one day

A40:
The sweetest place in Nigeria far as I'm concerned is still Akwa Ibom. That place too sweet. Neat, peaceful, good light. I love that place so much

There's areas so clean if you took pictures and told someone you were in an American suburb they would believe. They've been blessed with some really good governors

One would wonder what Ibom did with all that money before Akpabio

Theflint1:
Ibadan is super chill, I swear...stayed there a couple of days and I wan seriously reason relocating. It's urban enough, okay business city, quiet and free from traffic. Another nice city I've been to is Calabar, but from my assessment it's struggling economically, not enough businesses.

Calabarrrr…. Been there and love it but like you said, not sure about the economy

Calabar with all their trees, underground drainage and I reckon the Government provides water for them.

People need to travel see other places

Theflint1:
I swear, it's annoying...sometimes I go reason buy property for Lagos and other times I go say what if dem vex for me one day collect the land from me...I know say na online talk mostly cause dem neva born the baga to run that package, but then...the practical thing is to build in Lagos, not Benin where I hardly spend 1 month in a year, but then

Abeg make we try dey take am easy.

Na Ibadan I for live if I no japa… I too love that place and no drama like Lagos

Outsiders gats realise Lagos is 100% a Yoruba state and Lagos gats stop to threaten people with go back to your state… na then things go settle

Theflint1:
Edo's have always been very accommodating to Igbo's, we inter-marry, they raise families here and have done so for decades without issues. I'm always surprised when people say Igbo's are problematic when all my life I've lived with them without noticing this part of them....they're very competitive though, and sometimes that can offend people.

Apart from online rabble-rousing, does the average Igbo man say Lagos is no man's land, I don't think so...I can bet there's nobody on this thread that has met an Igbo man saying Lagos is no man's land.

Nigeria is the poverty capital of the world, and Lagos is seen as the jewel of the South West, it's sad the country has been structured such that there are not enough cities that allow for the shipping of goods via air and sea...hopefully the Ibom deep sea port comes alight soon and other cities that have the geographical advantage support the shipping of goods.

Nigeria needs more functional cities, outside of Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt, with more functional cities, we won't have to be at each others' throats as much.

Only an Illiterate and mischievous people will call Lagos a no man’s land

Most Igbo people have houses in Lagos and their hometown because as you can see from this thread… them go pursue you whether you take Lagos as your home or not.
