Yes, Listen, the only reason people move to Lagos is one thing. BUSINESSES. Now what drives businesses, POPULATION!!

If you want to set up any big business, you have to site it at where there is a huge population and as such a prospective customer base.

So Lagos has been in a cycle where it's huge population attracts businesses and also being the port city of Nigeria. The gateway of all imports and exports in the country, and the same population keeps driving there because of the businesses.

And all these predates the yellow teeth stained drug baron who now claims ownership of Lagos.


People going to Lagos isn't necessarily because of how "fine" it is, enter some rural villages in the east and see what rural beauty is, but as I said, the businesses and population there, paired with the ports make it the only sensible choice of destination in Nigeria for assured economic prosperity.

Again, nothing to do with the drug baron.

They're ports in the South South, why are people not trooping to Rivers, Cross River and Akwa Ibom?

An environment has to be conducive for businesses to thrive which in turn attracts investors and then people naturally troop in...You can lie to yourself all you want but successive governments of Lagos State have done well to keep the momentum going...

When will you hold your own state governor accountable?

Has anyone said Lagos and London or America are mates?

Comparing running from Anambra to Lagos with Lagos to Yankee can only be a symptom of diagnosis

The matter tire me, you are accusing Tinubu supporters of leaving the Lagos Tinubu built for Yankee but you are not in Anambra you claimed Obi built or was it just Tinubu's job to work in Lagos while Obi is held to no standards?

DonJ arguments no dey fit hold water most times...

Donjazet2:
Ohh, don't worry about me my friend, I can hold down my end soo well.

The wicked "abroadians" here have simply made here unconducive and unpalatable for Obi to be supported while tacitly supporting the drug baron.

All because they are kinsmen. These are people who till date couldn't bring themselves to condemn the very spiteful and genocidal calls being made by one of their kinsmen.
But no matter what, we would continue to fight for the betterment of this country till next year.

Just look at them praising Tinubu for "building" lagos. The same Lagos all of them ran away from. Hypocrisy is bad .

What do you praise Obi for? Are you in Anambra?

If you want to shoot down an agenda, come clean with facts else...

France need pogba in that midfield to stand any chance of even reaching the final.

I am not a fan of 3-5-2, I feel it promotes defensive solidity over attacking power...France have too many good wingers to go with such a narrow set up...

BlueMann:
France sef don cast

Na Argentina or Brazil get this level. Portugal look good too.

I don't think players are interested in the competition...I expect most of those teams to up their game at the world cup...

This Gakpo has looked very good playing either wing...

Chelsea and other dead club fans please thank god for my life. I came back from church few minutes back only to see the apartment I stays has collapsed. My friend that we cohabit together said he just went to play ball in the street before he came back to see rubble and sand with people murmuring and crying. tried to take pictures with his phone but I was slapped by police that came there. Even the landlord is nowhere to be found. I lost 80 percent of my physical stuff except my clothes on my body, things in my bag and 2 million running ticket. I no get house again but I get my life today.

Thank God you're safe...You'll bounce back in no time.

Skimpledawg:
Asides all these, how is your health now? Trust you have recovered fully man?

Sure bro...Thank you for always checking up...

Rooney shits on Drogba is not an argument but a factual statement....but you know the thread wey we dey

You know they'll never accept no matter what so, it's pointless to keep on engaging...

Pages upon pages of arguments that makes no sense...Since you know that the other side won't bow to superior argument, why continue?

izzou:
[color=royalblue]If Wike wielded all these strength, do you think Atiku wouldn't be on his knees to beg?

Atiku has done his maths. The guy's mouth won't match his strength.

When the elections reach, everybody would put their personal interests behind and abandon solidarity.

If Atiku wins, there's enough candy to go round in PDP. This is not guaranteed if they betray him and BAT wins[/color]

Who is to say they won't cut deals with Tinubu and possibly make the cross over?

Unlimited22:
I understand the need to promulgate your party, but Nigeria Air should not be one of the things you share as an achievement.

If I may ask, why?

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Rivers
Cross River

We still have 4 more SS states to go.
[/color]

He has considerable influence in Edo...I think Dan Orbih's faction was last recognized by the courts...

In Bayelsa, he still wields consdierable influence...Udom will rather side with Wike. He (Udom) released a statement a couple of days back backing those who want Ayu out...Wike is a loud mouth normally but he is not alone...

izzou:
[color=royalblue]SS has Akwa Ibom, Cross River, Delta, Edo, apart from Rivers

Can someone tell me Senators , or HOAs, or even party chieftains that Wike put there or made?

Yayi is a Senator in Lagos. He will contest for Senate in Ogun, thanks to BAT

Aregbe was a chieftain in Lagos. He became governor in Osun, thanks to BAT.

That's what it means to control a region, not presenting Bode George that won't win his ward at Isale Eko[/color]

Wike is the one bankrolling the popular Senator Jarigbe that fought Ayade's annointed place holder and won. He is the one bankrolling the PDP governorship candidate Sen. Sandy Onor who is his friend...Wike controls Cross River PDP...You can ask anybody on ground to confirm.

Roland17:
He does but at what expense for Atiku? Outside of Rivers state what other State does Wike influence, especially in the SS? Can we argue assuredly that Wike can deliver 75-80% of Rivers state votes?

For a governor who has stayed in power for two tenures, Wike’s mouth and noise doesn’t match the level of influence he should be wielding as a governor.

Wike is in control of PDP in Cross River State.

Let us not rule out the possibility of opposition politicians striking a deal with IPOB to declare a sit at home on the day of election in the East...Don't put it past politicians...Nobody will risk his/her life to go and vote...

Donjazet2:
Bro, who is the only candidate making further inroads into other regions? It's Peter Obi.

Tinubu hopes to consolidate Buhari's stronghold and forego SS and SE but we can see that he has kwankwaso and Atiku to contend with there in those places.

Tinubu has already lost the south completely and he knows that, no SS or se person who isn't already supporting APC can be convinced to do so meanwhile there are soo many south westerners very open to an Obi presidency on the basis of fitness, competence, justice and lastly equity as pertaining religious bias.

The educated electorate are massively tilting towards Obi. It remains to see whether northerners would pick Tinubu over Atiku or kwankwaso. But it has to be said that many of them see no difference between the two, hence the numerous cross carpeting.

2023 is heavily pregnant and in labor.

APC was always going to lose the SE and SS even if they fielded Osinbajo. For the APC, the goal is to get as much votes as possible from the SS and whatever they can get from the East. I am quite certain the APC will garner at least 30% of the votes in Cross River and Edo...With the crisis in the PDP, I expect the APC to make inroads into Rivers. Bar Akwa Ibom, APC will get at 30% of votes cast in all the SS states and if the PDP crisis deepens, the chances of APC getting up to 40% goes up...

Kwankwaso will weigh his chances and cut a deal with either of Atiku or Tinubu in the last moments else it favors Tinubu because the Northern bloc will be divided in a 3 way split between Tinubu, Atiku and Kwankwaso while tue SE and SS which are traditional PDP strongholds will see the PDP contending with LP in the SE and the effect of the party's crisis in the SS...

Obi will take SE
Tinubu will take SW
SS votes will be shared by Obi, Tinubu and Atiku (depends on how the crisis is handled)
The northern votes will be shared between PDP, APC and NNPP...
Middle belt might just be the decider...I don't see them voting for a fulani man so, it's either Obi or Tinubu...Obi will need to do very well in the North if he is to stand a chance of winning...

Donjazet2:
So you didn't click the link there to show you the polls on the streets??

And for God's sake, even a blind man can see that the political environment of now is vastly different from that of 2019. How many times will they drum these into you people's ears??

Next year's election is going to be very different from the previous we've had. Far more people are involved and engaged now.
It's no more the game of the elites but the fight of the masses.

We're seeing the polls on the streets, we witnessed the mad rush for PVCs. We're seeing the activation of previously apathetic voters.

Only a blind man would still think this politics is not different from the rest.

As for the online polls, the difference of margins tell their own stories. I know you're a an APC guy so you have to cling to all straws as a coping mechanism. All of you will be shocked.

In 2027, more people will register to vote as is expected so, I don't get the fuss about more people registering to vote...

You should know that it's not because of any candidate that people are registering...At the end, people will make their choices and we will live with the majority choice...

Donjazet2:
I expect at least 2.5 million votes in Lagos next year and I expect Obi to get a million of them. Even if Tinubu wins Lagos, it would be marginal. Obi gets 30-35 percent of Yoruba votes and a vast majority of the other demography votes. Other tribes jointly outnumber the indigenes of Lagos and tinubu is unpopular across the board.

Where is the PDP in all of these?

Why do you think Obi will get the vast majority of votes from people of other tribes?

After all we have witnessed from 2019, people are still basing their arguments on Twitter polls...

Donjazet2:
That guys argument is as nonsensical as can be.
Just look at him trying to paint Obi as a regional candidate, while in the same vein ignoring the fact that the APC candidate himself is now looking like a regional candidate.

Like he chooses to be willfully blind to the fact that Obi is gaining massive ground in the middle belt states of benue, nasarawa, plateau and taraba.

Like, you just choose to e willfully blind to the fact that obi is gaining national appeal and APC is losing soo much ground to PDP in the core north, not to talk of kwankaso playing a spoilers role for both.

Let's even pretend that Obi wouldn't get at least a million votes in Lagos alone and substantial votes in neighboring SW states like Ogun and Oyo from core christians and educated voters where obi is attracting supporters.

You just open mouth waa and talk nonsense that it's only SS and SE obi would win.

Copium of the highest level. 2023 go too shock people sha.

If you're going to trash his argument you too shouldn't come with trash.

Imagine the bolded...1 million votes? You know the bolded how?

The governor of Cross River state has multiple PhDs yet the only thing I know him for is the hilarious naming ceremony he holds for his budget.

Budget of contemporary cataclysmic gargantuanism

As a society we are too focused on impressing with book knowledge when we have little to show for it in practical terms.

A Nigerian who wants to show he is smart will cram jaw breaking vocabulary just to impress when there are easier ways to communicate

Do you want to impress or just provide solutions

Ayade has dealt with us...The so called industries he built, he is concessioning them to his friends now...That's a clown that is well schooled...

People should be judged based on their character and records in position of authority...
