BlueRayDick: Unfortunately those agbero are here to stay in Lagos. If u go to Computer village in ikeja and u stay long enough like spend few hours at a repairer or seller's shop u will witness these guys boldly coming to extort them with reckless abandon. It's the same thing in Balogun Market on the island and mostly all markets in Lagos.
Some people might argue that they collect taxes on behalf of the state Govt / local government but I can authoritatively tell u it's a bold face lie. These traders pay the fees and rates due to local governments who have special task forces that enforce collection, yet they still have to pay these agberos too who are collecting and not remitting to any government coffers.
That is the problem with giving legitimacy to these touts. If a container laden truck enters any of the Lagos island markets today, the owner of the goods will have to sort as many factions of the agberos that shows up and that cost will surely be transferred to the final consumer which is me and u. When I see people defend this nonsense I just smile and shake my head.
In the long run, Agbero system of government is not sustainable.
raumdeuter: Politicians have notoriously short memories. This is what I suspect will happen when APC wins 1. Biafra agitation renews with more vigor. Tinubu throws some security contract to a new faction of IPOB who enjoys govt support to crush the main faction. 2. Some politicians who supported APC would be disappointed when they cannot get a post in govt and start their anti party moves and eventually decamp 3. Atiku finally retires from politics and Tinubu will hail him as one of the heroes of Democracy even give him a National award or make him an ambassador 4. The North start preparing aggressively for 2027 in the form of Kwankwanso going back to PDP or Tambuwal warming up 5. 2027 The incumbent Tinubu will be older and weaker. The economic and security challenges will continue to be the rallying cry of the opposition 6. Some Southern politicians will quickly join queue to become Tambuwal or Kwankwanso Vice especially governors who tenure are ending towards 2027 (Makinde, Obaseki, Soludo)
Itsrm: I have said it before, I am not happy with any of the options before us. I will not be voting during the presidential election and I don't care who wins. As far as I'm concerned, they are all the same. The outcome after 4 or 8 years with any of them is more or less the same. That's where I stand.
Wonder why one should even carry politicians for head Except you a party member… otherwise
Buhari spent months in London hospital and millions or barrels of crude oil were stolen under him The smiling teeth merchant and party men will not say anything…ooo Tinubu already allows looting, imagine when he now goes on medical leave for one year Imagine the deal this guy has signed with the northern leaders to get their votes
PDPGuy: Come to think of it: When the Lekki airport becomes operational, MMIA may go bankrupt cos at least 65% of the passengers who go thru MMIA live in the Lekki/VI/Ikoyi axis.
The airlines would either run skeletal services in Ikeja or completely move their operations to Lekki. I also think all the foreign airlines may move to Lekki (which would be designed and built to 21st century specs), rendering MMIA as a domestic airport
patrickmuf: If you can read, you'd see where I said Raumdeuter was wrong for his comments...
Anyway, that was 2015...It will interest you to note that DonJ was a fierce critic of GEJ around the same time so he isn't best placed to drag Dayo and his goons for whatever position they held back then...
so DonJ dragged GEJ and currently dragging APC… shows he’s all for Nigeria’s best interest Better than people defending this government and telling us to give them 8 more years
raumdeuter: They know Lagos, At least they've heard of Lagos
Bi o ba mo erin, wa ti gbohun eerin, Bi ba mo osa, wa ti je iyo lobe
If you don't see the elephant you would have heard the trumpet of the elephant, If you don't know sea water at least you have tasted salt
Its where the most successful person in their village runs business, Its where the boys who sleep with their babes come from for Xmas, Its where their bold friends flee to escape suffering Its where they hope to flee to have a chance at a good life The promise of "I will take you to Lagos" was what they used to impregnate some of their sisters
This is Akanu Ibiam International airport board, See the International destination. Lagos is 80% of it
How come other South West states are not better than the Anambra and Enugu… Tinubu has been responsible for picking most governors in south west innit? Lagos has so much money and the development seen does not even tally with the funds but then, this can be said of all states. Some places in Oyo and Osun have not seen civilisation. You ran away from Oyo Larride ran Airmark ran Oasis ran from somewhere Y’all have used Lagos to hide the shame of the governors of other South West states Before you scream murder, go to Owerri, Enugu, and Anambra. Umahi of Ebonyi has tried as well.. now Osun has a governor that added up 95 and 15 to equate 100
liveLongNprospa: It's too funny watching Dayo lie like a child .
These issues that have already been dealt with but since Dayo has nothing to hold Obi with, he decides to regurgitate old things .
I'm guessing Dayo will soon accuse Obi of stealing money through his aid soon.. Or that he has never seen Obi calling for an end to IPOB.. Or some old video .
Like I keep saying, this place is 3 months behind and I see its on purpose
Typical Dayo tactics, he’ll stay underground for one or two days now and come out to repeat the same thing. You’ll see people with no idea backing him up just to join the popular side.
