Thanksful:
Personal investments are what people term government investment in Lagos.

Most of those structures are personally owned and has nothing to do with Lagos state government.

Lagos State is practicing what is called capitalism. The Government makes the state viable for the personal investments.

That is what is practised in the United States.
Let your state Government make their state viable for personal investments like Lagos.

See if you can japa, please run away. Nigeria is spoiling ooo. Its gradually detoriating. Leave all the big big grammer politicians are using. Business are suffering and barely surviving forcing many to cut corners e.g measure10mm rods being sold in the markets today. They are barely 8mm. They are shrinking the moulds so you see why buildings aren't strong anymore, have you heard they now re bag cement. So many substandard materials abound..hmm . Patronage has dropped and profits reduced. Salaries of the glorified govt workers that used to look big before has been reduced to rubbish. Imagine someone who earned 200k when rice was 7,500 a bag with now thats 30k a bag or when a bag of cement was 1,700 now its 4k or then when fuel was N45 or even N85 to now that its N185. Let me give a practical example notice all those neighbors wey dey run diesel 24/7 for my area gen no the dey on for long again. Some business are now using big fuel gen instead. Even if Disel is high, dosent it mean they arent makimg enough profits to maimtain running disel anymore. I wonder how banks are currently faring. I see a future where alot of private entities will downsize massively. I fear that soon families won't be able to afford good accommodations. Anarchy is looming. Soon there would be a rise in discontent. Before majority where enjoying while minority suffered but now minority are enjoying while majority suffer. The funny part is that politicians will tell you Nigeria is doing well. I fear for the repercussions soon to follow.

Which country should we go to now?

No economy is doing great. Nigeria is even faring better than most. Bankruptcy in US*
1. Victoria's Secret declared bankruptcy.
2. Zara closed 1,200 stores.
3. La Chapelle withdrew 4391 stores.
4. Chanel is discontinued.
5. Hermes is discontinued.
6. Patek Philippe discontinued production.
7. Rolex discontinued production.
8. The world's luxury industry has crumpled.
9. Nike has a total of $23 billion US dollars preparing for the second stage of layoffs.
10. Gold's gym filed for bankruptcy
11. The founder of AirBnb said that because of pandemic, 12 years of efforts were destroyed in 6 weeks.
12. Even Starbucks also announced to permanently close their 400 stores.
13. WeWork isn't in a great spot either *Nissan Motor Co. may close down in USA.*

That is the thing, If they impound his car now it will be as if the government is wicked. We forget innocent lifes can be lost through taking of one ways. Some Nigerians and lawlessness, mtcheew

Some people will say the police removed the one way sign board and the guy didn't know.

Abeg look at NAF'S incompetency,to gather simple intelligence and carry out the mission still dey hard una,now una don go bomb innocent people and still put villagers life at risk.

Are this people trying to say they didn't know he wasn't going to be at the location where Dem wan bomb?
Una no see USA,simple and fast without taking innocent people's life.

Why bomb where you know say many people go dey?this thing is supposed to be a mission successful.

You mean the same US, that despite their billions of dollars budget couldn't defeat the Talibans?

In life there's nothing such as a solution. Only sacrifices.

Peter Obi is a university graduate. But students were out of school in his state for 6 months. Imagine if he didn't go to school..

He's not a delusional somebody. He knows deep down the Peter Obi cannot win.

Imagine Nigerians crying about increase in fuel price but praising Obi for saying fuel subsidy should be removed (which every right thinking Nigerians already know of).
If fuel subsidy is stopped, won't the price of fuel increase further?

Nigerians don't really know what they want.

To rule people.. Especially Africans.. Especially black Africans.. Especially Nigerians... one need to be tough and have a granite heart.

iamwilliamsfx:
But Nigeria army do use one way almost every time

There's a video of Lagos police showing an army officer shege for disobeying Lagos traffic laws. Go and verify

Dreal1247:
The truth is that Nigerians have disobedience to law and order in their DNA. This is the country where it is very difficult to work as a law enforcement agent. Everybody wants to be obeyed. Don't you know who I am? We need stiffer penalties to instill obedience into our people and system.

This is the same country where FG gave people a year to link their sims with their NIN and even kept shifting and shifting the deadline until some people even started mocking them that they don't know what they're doing.
Even one of my friend that already have NIN didn't link it with his sim and when I asked him why, his reply was , "I'm a Nigerian. We nor dey hear word."

When FG barred unlinked sims from making calls, the same Nigerians that were mocking FG for being clueless started criticising the FG for being too harsh.

Any serious Government that wants to work should disregard the rantings of an average Nigerian.

anonimi:
This is not correlated with Thiefnuibu's cluelessness exposed in what you quoted

Lame..

Tinubu asked the question "where are the cows?” because then, every single attack and kidnap stories in Nigeria when Buhari entered power newly was blamed on herdsmen. The media tried to portray a scenario that herdsmen attack increased because Buhari (who owns cows) was the President.
So when people started blaming herdsmen as the killers of Fasoranti's daughter, Tinubu asked, "where are the cows to suggest the killers are herdsmen"?

He also asked a similar question, "is Evans a herdsman?" when people were blaming herdsmen for every kidnapping in Nigeria.

A similar trend will begin next year when Tinubu becomes President. A trend will start coming where every road accident will be blamed on Agberos. So then, it wouldn't be surprising when you hear us asking, "where is the danfo bus?" or "is Odumeje an Agbero?"

As for your second picture, the aggrieved pensioneers were the ones owed by the military administration of Jakande. Go and verify.

Nightwolf1:
You don't have a father. A lousy scum, picked from the gutters most be angry about others with fathers. .........

You retarrded imbec1le, It won't sink into your empty head how the govt kept you in a despicable economic condition you find yourself.

Even with a private company such as dangote, been aided by this govt, another govt can frustrate him out of business and everything goes back to zero.

However, I wasn't hoping that a scratch-face Orile donkey like you amounts to anything.


Stinking wastrel

The only way any Government can frustrate Dangote's refinery is by reintroducing fuel subsidy after Buhari removes it.

olisaEze:
Fact is most people hawking sausage rolls and other FMCGs (Fast Moving Consumer Goods) in Lagos traffic are more of Ebonyi State citizens (an APC State) and not Anambrarians, but tribalism is a very thick pair of goggles! Are the supporters of Yekini Amoda also going to attribute the successes of Jim Ovia and Tony Elumelu to their party of ancient candidates??

What about how out of 21, Nigerians in Indonesia prisons due to drug traffiking, 20 are from Peter Obi states?

omenka:
Those people have an uncanny knack for making a deity out of mere humans. They did it with Atiku in 2019, did it with Kanu, and are doing it with Obi.

In their fantastical world, those up to whom they look are beyond reproach in any ramification. Theirs is a world of alternate reality where only imaginary but convinient "facts" are upheld while TRUTH is a potentially destructive vice that should never be gone close to.

That's the life of an Obidient for you.

You forgot about how they dietified Ojukwu too and how he led 3 million of them to their demise. Same thing happened with Kanu and now it's happening with PO

DaddyFreeze2020:
That's how China became a leading manufacturer in the World today.
Until we elect a Government that believes in local manufacturing of products.

In whose Government is there the highest local manufacturing of products since 1960?

SteveDGreat:
The real Picture

Keep quiet. The picture you posted is another time of the said event. Either before or after Peter Obi slept..

But why do you guys lie about everything? Even sleeping? Sleeping that is a natural thing that you guys are still lying about?

Even European politicians sleep during meetings. Its not a crime.

SpecialEdition:
No train in the SS & the SE. The only post-colonial single gauge old locomotive that runs through Port Harcourt - Oyibo - Aba, has stopped working. It saddens me that my brother could give Maradi Niger Republic a train, but not my region. The marginalization & hate is so REAL.

You guys shouted the most when Buhari was taking loans to build railways and other infrastructures.
Maybe Buhari is kind enough not to put Igbos in Chinese debts that's why he didn't take loans for you guys.

As for the Maradi railway, it has been explained times without number the reason for the railway, but you guys hate wouldn't let you see it.

Antoeni:
When Tinubu was asked about insecurity, he said "recruit 50 million youths"

They asked him about inflation, he said "print more money"

They asked him about exchange rate, he said "salaries are not paid in dollars so we should not worry about FX rates"

The exchange rate of South Korea (home of Samsung, Hyundai and KIA motors) to the dollars is $1-1000 WON.
This doesn't make South Korea a failed country.

Memyselfu2009:
I think we should have qualified indigenous contractor's who can do better or Similar job.

The problem is that when it fails, we Nigerians will castigate him for not giving the work to who sabi.
He knows Nigerians can never be pleased so he's doing things his own way.

Obinoscopy:
I agree 100%, we need him to grant interviews with the news media so they can seek clarification from him on our behalf. I'm told he would do those interviews once campaign starts. I don't know how true.

He actually will

DMerciful:
The war started in Biafra! Igbos did not start the war, Nigerians brought the war to Biafra

Biafra was the first aggressor. The attacked the Midwest and even installed a head of State before the FG countered.

DMerciful:
You dont expect the Igbos to behave like the Japanese esp when the causes of the uncivil war is still present till today. The same people that said Igbos will never be president are asking us to move on

The Igbos were among those who caused the civil war.
Right from Zik who made secession a treasonable offense by opposing Awolowo's secession clause in the constitution, to the Igbos undergoing ethnic cleansing in the guise of a military coup, to Ironsi not punishing the coup plotters and even planning to promote them, to Ironsi also introducing the unitary form of Government which would favor his people more, to Ironsi and Ojukwu waging war on Adaka Boro for trying to secede the Niger Delta from Nigeria, To Ojukwu attacking the Midwest region after declaring Biafra even before FG have made any plan to attack.

Igbos caused the war and they were foolish to start a war they can't win.

As for Presidency, the Igbos would have a chance at the it the day they stop playing politics of hate.

DMerciful:
Nah, Nigeria attacked first

How?

DMerciful:
What makes you think they've moved on?
They're still not powwrful to do anything.....doesn't mean they wont if they become powerful

But we don't see the littering the Internet, disturbing everyone of a bomb that happened more than half a century ago do you?

DMerciful:
The war started in Biafra! Igbos did not start the war, Nigerians brought the war to Biafra

Biafra was the first aggressor. After declaring Biafra, why did Ojukwu attack the Midwest even before Nigeria forces attacked?

gulfer:
Selfishly, our political elites here in Nigeria have bastardized the public tertiary education just like they did with primary and secondary education....... This is a beautiful piece of architecture

Ghana public universities are working because their tuition are expensive. We pay next to nothing in our federal universities yet we want it to be like Harvard and Oxford.

LZAA:
Peter obi built and surpassed the good work started by ngige in Anambra state
He is the reason people like the uba brothers and uche ekwunife are no where near state government coffers
The man performed exceptionally well during his tenure
So yes peter obi is better than tinubu by far
It's not even a competition
Lagos had governors like ndubisi kanu,buba marwa,mobolaji johnson,Michael otedola
None of those men ever claimed to develop lagos but they performed excellently
Again politics is not come chop or free money
It's about improving the lot of your citizens

Wow! OK o.

MasterJayJay:
You want to throw a shade? Other countries spent 4 years to get 20,000 megawatts. But you are rejoicing that your country spent 4 years to get only transformer.

Clap for yourself.

Things happened that you may never know about before those 4 years that Egypt increased their generation by 20,000 MW. It was not the first day of the first year that Egypt started that plan.

In 2006, Tinubu went to China to woo Chinese investors to build this new Lekki seaport. It is in 2022 (16 years later) that it became visible. What does that tell you?
Things does not happen in one day. Things of this magnitude takes time.

JOemmy:
Impressive buhari is really doing something tangible in the power sector but I will still never like him because of all the thausands of innocent souls he wasted.

Sometimes I ask people if they feel down in their heart really think that a sitting President will be happy seeing bloodshed in his country..
Do you actually believe that Buhari is don't want APC to continue in power? Do you really think that Buhari is happy about death in his Government?

I really hope PO wins next year. You guys will start justifying PO's flaws..

EmiLoKanMyAss:
The same government that promised her citizens uninterrupted power supply with 6 months saying it wasn't a rocket science.. mtcheew!

Everybody thinks solving Nigeria's problem is not rocket science until they get there.

That's the mistake PO is making now. He's making the problem of Nigeria look easy to solve. If he ever gets there his eyes will clear.

MasterJayJay:
See them celebrating transformer. Does transformer generate electricity?


Some Nigerians love suffering. You are not enjoying stable power and you are insulting Peter Obi that traveled to Egypt to study how their power infrastructure improved.

National grid under APC can be likened to a married man suffering from erectile dysfunction. We have lost count how many times the national grid has failed.

We need a quantum leap in solving the power problems of Nigeria.

Egypt added 25,000 megawatts (MW) of new power stations to their national electricity grid during the period from June 2014 to June 2018. Got that? 25,000 MW in just 4 years.

In October 2018, project consortium partners Siemens, Elsewedy Electric and Orascom Construction officially unveiled one of the largest combined cycle megaprojects in Beni Suef,
Egypt. The teams completed three plants totalling 14,400 MW in a record time of 27.5 months at the cost of €6 billion.

Buhari has been in power for 7 years +, how many megawatts has been added? He keeps borrowing and borrowing with no tangible thing to show for it. Some of you are like victim of ponzi schemes. Can't you see APC has scammed you for the past 7 years?

Peter Obi is looking for solutions to transform Nigeria, while others are looking for how to be in power.

Few months to go, that's when Buhari remembers he will buy transformers.

I've said it before, 90% of Obidients started following politics the day PO left PDP to Labour. Check the history of this transformer.
This transformer was being built since 2018, and it was 2022 that was the stipulated time for completion.

Also about the borrowed loans, don't be among the crowd talking about the loans. Actively do your own research. The loans are not being wasted.

Condemning things you don't know about doesn't tell good about your education.
