I miss the everyday drama in Lagos, like conductor and passenger dragging for change.
Europe is too boring and orderly. They no like fight or argument at all. Everybody too dey behave well . Mind your business lifestyle whether on a bus, train or even at home. Europe is a natural environment for depression
And of course, I miss naija food. Pizza life no be am at all

tinsel:
Can somebody here be kind enough and post us the results as it is now. Please real results.

I think PDP has won this Osun election with a difference of about 1000 votes.
I did the calculations myself using Premium Times LGA results and got a difference of 1298 with a little margin of error.

So I think that result on twitter that has a difference of 910 should be correct.

What a way to lose an election with just 910 votes only!!!

Congrats to Adeleke and the PDP on this one.

Modified : Premium Times has all 29 LGAs announced so far minus Osogbo. I searched for Osogbo on Twitter and found 23379 vs 14499 for APC and PDP.
Hence the 1k difference I got.
Unless the Osogbo result isn't confirmed yet.

First LGA out.
1 down for wailers, 29 to go.

I told them APC doesn't need to buy votes in Osun to win. Ekiti was just a response to Fayose's election method.

Butterflyleo:
I am for Oyetola but I will tell you to hold on a bit because there are over 3000 polling units and results are far from over.

However, when we are able to successfully announce much of each candidates strongholds and see the voting trend then we can talk about a clear victory for APC and not a runoff. So far though APC holds the lead

A runoff isn't possible/easy to attain in Osun and generally in Nigeria. APC is the incumbent party so there's no way it won't get 1/4th votes in 2/3rds of all the local governments in Osun.
Majority is the focus, unless a candidate is severely hated by at least 1/3rd of the state or country which is rarely the case.

As for majority votes, the results speak for itself already seeing APC doing this well in Ife area, let alone in Osun Central where the bloc vote is chilling in the freezer for APC.

At this point, I don't need to see further results from polling units to confirm that APC has won this Osun election. Official announcement by INEC will be a mere formality tomorrow.

It’s now clear that the majority of people politically active online are wailers. They live their lives online wailing per second on social media while the real voters know which party is working to better their lives.

Wailers will be ignored till 2023.

Oyetola is a goal.

otomatic:
I disagree. You don't need NYSC to set up a company in Nigeria. Or is being an employer not a help to Nigeria?

I'm aware of that. I said to head a govt Space Agency or Ministry. Space launching is mostly a govt funded initiative

Pabloosas:
This same news made front page the other day. Why recycle it?

Sadly, Adekunle can't help Nigeria as he won't have time for NYSC drama.
This should be enough reason (to drive a demand for a review of the nysc act.)
For Nigeria every thing is about politics. All wailers were excitedly celebrating Adeosun's exit forgetting the wider implication for Nigeria, that we're set to lose skilled hands based overseas to an unnecessary one year sex scheme called NYSC.

Imagine Elon Musk was Nigerian but can't be appointed into our Space Development Agency because of NYSC, whereas a governor needs not pass Waec

Victornezzar:
2. Built the Safety Arena, in Oshodi, to bring all the Departments and Agencies responsible for safety and emergency management under one roof.
3. Completed or close to completing more than 300 Local Government road projects, since 2015.
4. Repositioned Lagos State Emergency Agency, LASEMA. The Agency now operates via 4 centres, namely Command & Control Centre, Alausa, Ikeja; LASEMA Response Unit (LRU) Cappa Oshodi; LASEMA Response Unit, Lekki (by Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge) and LASEMA Response Unit, Onipanu. Equipped LRU with modern equipment (trucks, power bikes, heavy-duty vehicles and fire trucks, Mobile Intensive Care Ambulances and Light Rescue Equipment, and 14 new BMW Power Bikes for on-spot reconnaissance assessments of emergency incidents.
5. Launched Amnesty period for land/property owners to obtain/regularise building permits. Between March 1 and August 31, 2018, Lagos State Government will not charge any penalty for those who have erected structures on their land without a building permit. This window offers a 6-month grace period for landowners to obtain their building permit.
6. Commenced construction of 10-lane Oshodi–Murtala Muhammed Int’l Airport Road, scheduled for completion by December 2018.
7. Completed palliative repair work on section of the Lagos-Badagry Expressway between Eric Moore and Okokomaiko. Work ongoing on Okokomaiko to Badagry section.

Work ongoing Okoko to Badagry? Are you sure?
FG only approved Eric Moore to Okoko for Lagos to handle and toll. Okoko to Badagry is still in control of the FG and I understand it's in the 2018 budget. Fashola said contractors will be mobilised before the end of the year.

arinzeejikonye:
Do re mi fa so la ti do

Oshodi transport terminal interchange,
Oando lekki - epe roundabout deconstruction& expansion,
Lagos waterways headquarters.

Nice shots.

Ambode has worked no doubt. However, apart from the dirtier Lagos and lack of transparency on project costs, he seems to have a problem of carrying out unsystematic construction. Doing so much simultaneously thereby creating so much problems for road users on all access routes.
Also, completing the Lagos Badagry road and light rail up to Okoko was supposed to be a priority ahead of BRT construction on Oshodi Abulegba road, airport road, new bus terminals and oshodi interchange.
No sense in building these "luxuries" when people are suffering on that non-motorable road with slow construction since 2010.

deomelo:
Stop claiming Fashola's project.


Feel free to show your 1 and 2 Ambode's projects, but don't steal Fashola's projects.

Do your research before posting.

Which one is Fashola's project again? Is government not a continuum? The Laswa HQ project was commissioned just last week and this government did a large part of the job as well.
Same thing you accuse wailers of doing when they say PDP started those projects Buhari commissioned.
Mynd44 lalasticlacla. Promised land

What kind of fake news are Nairaland mods promoting?
Seun, so any tweet from any unofficial twitter handle has become genuine news right?

One of the many abuses of Social media, spreading misinformation to the public.

I hope wailers understand the difference between Buhari's unopposed emergence and GEJ's emergence as PDP candidate in 2015 that eventually led to his loss.

PDP gave GEJ right of first refusal, by so doing blocked out other candidates from contesting the presidential primaries.
But this time, Buhari's opponents all know they stand no chance in defeating him for the APC ticket, so they simply left to try their lucks in the PDP.

That said, 2019 is already locked down for Buhari. North is already won while the SW will definitely vote for infrastructural projects as sensible voters. 4 SS states will supplement the victory. Others can vote out of hatred if they like.

2023 on my mind already. Hopefully, Fashola gets serious consideration to take over.

Mac2016:
This is a very serious situation. I just keep wondering what we called love is actually one because true love is supposed to be unconditional.
The woman in question actually goofed. For this reason, the husband has every right to be angry but really love does not see someone you love sad and you still insist. May God spare the lives of those babies. Three babies: two big boys and a beautiful baby girl - this is a complete set of blessings.
Madam, God did a miracle for you with those babies and I'm sure God loves you and won't leave you alone. Tell God everything and relax your mind. He will take perfect charge. Don't resign please and be a beggar with someone that doesn't want to see your face for now.
God will help all of us, amen.

This was exactly what I was going to type after reading. There is hardly any real (unconditional) love out there. People just look out for their best interests in marriages.
I am almost certain that this guy won't have gone ahead with the wedding if she opened up. She knew this and she took her chances in her best interest.

I was enjoying myself watching a very interesting movie during my teenage years and my eldest sister sent me to boil water for her.
I grudgingly answered and mistakenly plugged a boiling ring in an empty kettle (no water) to electricity. The kettle and the boiler got very red hot but luckily, my other sister discovered it before it resulted into a fire.

slivertongue:
apc wil buy votes. osun are already broke

No, they don't have to.
You see, vote buying and the noisy atmosphere generated by Ekiti election happened because of the political actors, mainly Fayose.
The APC responded to Fayose's stomach infrastructure and vote buying tactics by coming up with "See and buy" to counter Fayose.

We didn't hear much of this in Anambra, Ondo and Edo elections. Same thing will happen in Osun.

Fayose and Wike are the reasons for vote buying and killings in Ekiti and Rivers respectively, which caused the opposition to respond in similar fashions.

Regarding Osun election, the opposition are too disunited and will split their votes giving the APC an easy victory.

loyedammy:
we said KEEP OFF!!!

I am not and will never be in support of Nigerian banks stealing because I know how fraudulent they are in charging people's accounts illegally sometimes. But Nigerians must learn to confront any unfair challenges rather than run to social media to make noise.

I was using UBA and they were charging me anyhow, I simply transferred my money to GTB for good to avoid UBA wahala and I have abandoned them for years now.
At a time, GTB was charging me recklessly for SMS. I called customer care and they directed me to my online banking portal where I unsubscribed from SMS alerts myself, and no charges since then.

It cost money to send SMS, effect transfer (Nibss must make money as an organisation) and they have to charge for such services or run at a loss.
But if you are debited illegally or cheated in any way, do something about it rather than run to social media to cry foul. That's how I live my life cos I totally abhor cheating.

How do you buy your bitcoins?

chigo4u:
Does ATM withrawal aslo take 24 hours and Norway and are there charges for using ATM there or card maintenance fee? Sanusi removed the N65 ATM charges, this new cbn governor came and reintroduced it to please his banking people. rubbish

So N65 is why you are ranting online? I do more than 20 interbank transfers with my naira account daily and the charges exceed 1k.
Go and hustle and stop worrying about common N50 bank charge.

To your question, using another bank's ATM isn't free especially after 4pm.
Also, they remove some money (over 5k naira) from my account at the end of the year for some account maintenance purposes I guess.

They say who no go no go know. Truth is, banks are the same almost everywhere.
Banking in several African countries is far better than many developed countries. Especially mobile banking

In Norway for example, interbank transfers take 24hrs. SMS notification charge is equivalent to N170.
I prefer Nigerian banking style by far especially when buying bitcoins. Charge me just N52 and do my transfer instantly.
Nigerians too like free things

I hope he won't obtain Senatorial form in addition or use a dummy candidate. Because Saraki is sure to lose the presidential election.
The best he can get is to win Kwara and the SE.

The man has a point.
All because for the first time, Jamb now remits what's left in revenue to the government after running its affairs, people are now demanding a reduction.

So for other agencies not remitting, their fees are justified?

Corrupt country mentality.

Explorers:
This is Fjord, Norway.

Beautiful country, breathtaking nature, on my list.

Yes, very correct.
It's Pulpit Rock, Lysefjord. The most beautiful rock in Norway.
Two hours up and two hours down.

I hope you hike it some day.

Mountain climbing is bae. June 2018 pic.

But Everest or the likes of it is attempted suicide.

sarrki:
I said the best thing to happen to Nigeria

Is Buhari

Osinbajo

Fashola

Amaechi

Tinubu

Emiefele

Only enemies of our country disagree

Of course.
Compare the above guys being in charge of managing our Federal government affairs with fast rising Nollywood actors like:
Saraki, Dino Melaye, Ben Bruce, Bode George, etc. What a joke of a Federal government Nigeria we will have!

My ultimate wish is for swift and brilliant minds like Fashola to become Nigeria's president. Except that Nigeria isn't a normal country.
Zoning, religion and other irrelevant issues are considered before competence.

Nice.

But for every good work Ambode is doing, it reminds me of how dirty a place he's turned Lagos to.
What shall it profit Ambode if he reconstructs everything in Lagos but Lagos becomes very dirty and just awaits impending cholera outbreaks?
Ambo, did your village people come after your brain in this matter? Or do you or Tinubu have interest in VisionScape? Or are you just trying to spite Fashola for not backing your ambition initially? What has the masses got to do with that!

Fashola cleaned up Lagos and brought in a functional system of waste management using PSP operators. The private guys invested money to set up their companies. Instead of continuing with a working system, Ambode terminated their contracts just to bring in a company that has no capacity to handle waste in Lagos.

The PSP guys came every Saturday to pick up our trash from house to house but Ambode replaced global best practice with 2 waste bins that can't take wastes from 5 houses for a street of hundreds of residents. Now people dump their waste on the road or patronize aboki.s aka kongis who end up dumping them indiscriminately.

This is one reason I can never look for govt contracts or partner with them. No continuity in Nigeria and every new government ruins your investment without 'sending' you.

Another thing is the lack of transparency in his govt. Under Fashola, Lagos' budget was easily available online and one could easily cross-check with ongoing projects on ground. But Ambode has refused to reveal any information on cost of projects.
I guess this is what we get when Tinubu has a firm grip of Lagos governor. No wonder he kept fighting Fashola till date for wanting to do things the right way.
Please, we love the projects but we also want a cleaner and more transparent Lagos.

The kind of defeat that I see awaiting PDP in the 2019 election will be so massive that they will end up being dumbfounded. Those who are politically informed are expecting it already.
The NW is already in the bag for PMB, same thing with NE (minus Taraba) and the SW. Niger Kogi and Nassarawa in the bag as well in the NC.
Edo, Imo, Rivers and AkwaIbom will bring in sizable votes with at least 40% for the APC in the SS and SE.

I strongly feel that the Buhari effect will even extend to Kwara in 2019 and has the potential to tilt Kwara in favour of the APC in the Presidential and Nass elections since they'll hold simultaneously.

Time will tell as they say but if I were PDP, I'll start preparing for 2023 elections instead, using PDP controlled states as shining examples of performance.
But a looting party can never repent even after tendering fake apologies for looting Nigeria dry.

Butterflyle0:
This is the total result from Buharis ward.

Please not polling unit. This is from his entire ward

Results duly signed by the party agents

Do you have any information about results for Obudu state constituency in Crossriver? No single result seems to be available anywhere including Twitter.

NgeneUkwenu:
This man is an idiot for saying this...I mean how do you entrust our money for someone is alleged to have forged a certificate? Useless beings!

What Adeosun did was wrong but I don't support her being fired.
She's done a great job for this government and for Nigerians.
The penalty for forging NYSC certificate is N2000 fine which she should pay and move on.
And Buhari will take 6 months to replace her.

Old age has come and he's decided to heed the call instead of falling asleep in the Senate with no bill to show.
Buhari should be resting as well if not that the younger ones were looting the treasury meant to build infrastructure for our present and future generations.

MARKETfund:
Oh, been planning of doing my honeymoon in Budapest next year ever since I saw the city ad on CNN.
Like you said, it seem that city is built for tourism. Their largest public swimming pool comes to mind.
My fiancee wanted Paris (I love Paris too and we have someone there), but I want Hungary more.

Pls do you know any way I can get around it in terms of affordable accommodation, Invitation, etc?
Would love to get a help if you're in a position to offer. Thanks

If you have a steady income that shows you can fund your trip and will return to Nigeria, then you don't need an invitation.
For affordable accommodation, I use airbnb.com whenever I travel, to rent apartments that I stay in for that duration. It's cheaper and more convenient especially if you rent an entire apartment.
I've been to Paris as well but I don't know your preference in this case. Paris has lots of monuments to see but I enjoyed Budapest more.
If cost is a consideration, go to Budapest.
Or you can as well visit both before returning to Nigeria (if you can afford it) since schengen visa covers both countries.

dustydee:
Come on, he was just narrating what someone told him. No where in his write up did he suggest or appear to suggest that he isn't coming back. Your tone was unnecessary.

Yeah, I know. I was just disappointed that that's the first thing that comes to the mind of a typical Nigerian, his friend in this case.

lifestyle1:
He can register for a course and get a study visa.

What about that ?

No, he can't. Visit is visit and study is study. Two different things. He has to go back to naija and apply for a study visa before he can return.
