mycar: You people can now see the real state of our country. He said 2million vehicle in Nigerian road and someone is arguing that we have up to 11.5m cars in Nigeria without understanding a simple english, He said on the road and you are counting the ones in the dealer shop and rickety and faulty ones in the mechanic workshops. The problem with illitrates is that they don't know the difference between estimate and precise.
That is how he estimated that his investment is almost $100 million. Same way he estimated that he left almost N75 billion for Obiano. And that's the same way he will say (if he wins) that he only estimated Egypt power generation level when he went there to study.
Corto: We will see where filthy scavengers like yourself think they can hide, when it all comes tumbling down...continue to betray your unborn generations in exchange for stale crumbs, you e-rat
All because I'm happy for something good in Lagos State you're dishing me all these insults?
wirinet: Tinubu can win next year, afterall elections in Nigeria is won by the better rigger and not on free and fair elections. That still does not mean majority of Christians will support his Muslim/Muslim government.
I am a Christian and Tinubu is my most preferred candidate. I have lots of Christian friends who support Tinubu.
From all four major contestants, Tinubu has the highest track record of all and I believe he can replicate his ingenuity in all of Nigeria.
You blame the Nigerian Government for not giving you a better life then you go to a country whose Government give good lives to their citizens and blame Nigerians for not helping you.
They will say everyone supporting Tinubu is paid. And when campaign starts and you see millions of supporter supporting Tinubu they will either wail or insult people of liking suffering. When Tinubu wins next year, they will wail more.
aribisala0: Lagos state is 3577 square kilometres Singapore , a country is about 770 square kilometres with about 6 million people Singapore has the 2nd largest port in the whole doing several times the tonnage that Lagos does SEVERAL TIMES
The issue of congestion in Lagos is a non issue. The reality is that the ports in Lagos are inefficient. We cannot expect the Nigerian government to run an efficient port .That is better done by the private sector.
e.g. Ports in Lagos carry out operations that could happen elsewhere. like customs checks on containers. A dry port in Ibadan Benin or Abuja linked to the ports by rail can be used to process containers not intended for use in Lagos and Customs checks can happen there. We should not be removing containers from Lagos on the back of lorries that is very inefficient This is a video from Nigeria
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZCCrBjhohU Once rail evacuation is in place you won't even know there is a port there. Felixstowe in UK which we see has a population of under 50000 people and does many times more than what Lagos is doing in tonnage Because of what they will eat the Customs and NPA cause all kinds of delays. The Customs work can be moved to a dry inland dock and completely out of Lagos State
The problem with Nigeria is us comparing Nigeria with nations that have been developing for over 100 and even thousands of years ago. UK, US, Germany, China Egypt etc are nations that were in existence even before our first engineer, technicians, accountants, doctors etc were born. Nigeria is a nation that is just one generation away from illiteracy. 95% of all our grandparents were all illiterates. So how do we compare ourselves to nations that have started Nation building generations ago and some of which colonized us and stunted our growth. Nigeria development is slow quite all right mostly due to our foolish and corrupt leaders but it would still take us a lot of decades to catch up with those countries no matter who lead Nigeria unless another World war or something castastrophic happens to those other countries.
One thing I'm quite sure of is that the next half a century will bring something good for Nigeria and Africa
aribisala0: Half knowledge is worse than no knowledge You don't know. You don't know that you don't know. You think you know and you have no one to tell you that you don't know
What is the relevance of "exclusive list" to the conversation here. What is your point in mentioning EXCLUSIVE LIST
Do you even know what exclusive list is all about? No doubt you think you do but you are clueless. If you are silent no one will know how foolish you are
The average Obidient doesn't know how economies work
tnerro1: Please Edo state also needs a port , we just need to dredge ikpoba river. Decentralize Lagos abeg . Some people (not abokiis) can relocate to Edo self if ships start berthing in Edo
If Obaseki can convince investors to dig the seaport in Edo State then FG will grant him the license to do so.
But the only problem there be say, "Edo nor be Lagos."
Omodua: Good news. But development of the country should be evenly spread.
Lagos state has Apapa Port and Tincan Island Ports. Major patrons of these Ports are people of South East extraction. They are the major importers.
Sadly, no single Port in the southeast stretch. They freight their goods from Lagos Ports and onward bound southeast. This is not fair.
Yet,another Port is to be added to existing Ports at Badagry,less than 60 kilometers from Lagos. Where is the fairness and justice.
This skewed development is what's giving rise to separatist agitations in the country. FG could do better by spreading development to all regions of the country Not only Lagos.
Restructuring of the country is key to development and national cohesion.
Eastern leaders should wake up to these injustices!
If Borno State can find investors to dig a seaport in their desert then FG will grant them the approval to do so.
Lagos State Government have found investors to build them Badagry seaport and FG have given them the go ahead to start. Let the Eastern Government find investors and FG refuse to grant permission then you can cry injustice and be right.
initstime: A whole concession period of 45 YEARS. Mortgaged the future of our children. who is the concessionaire? Loan in a different attire.
Why not do a research on Egypt on how they are financing those infrastructures PO went to study last month?
Las las, it is people that know how economy works (who are mostly not team Obidients now) that will defend Peter Obi from his Obidients if he wins next year and people don't see the needed change they expected from him.
Diligent1: Wow, this is good but the tarrif should not be too high so that the importers can bring in more goods that will benefit the masses and also affordable for people. The foreigners import from Cotonou because their tarrif is not high.
Too much importation (especially of consumer goods) doesn't help a country. China isn't where they are today because of importation.
You should be more of an advocate for exportation and not importation.
gtrust: How did you leave for Soludo? You remembered to pay contractors sef? You did not pay pensions Same as salaries Worse sef you accumulate debts on top Soludo head Nonsense and ingredients
He left next to nothing with a lot of debts. But he still built a lot more infrastructures than Peter Obi and doctors didn't go on a 13 months strike during his tenure.
Firstly, it's not the US Government that built that laundry for the people but private individuals. Secondly, the Nigerian Government will not stop a single person for building such a laundry here in Nigeria. Thirdly, if you have the money to offer such service to Nigerians and you feel that they'll be able to afford it enough for you to make profits, no one is stopping you.
Anndrew: Alaye,enough of this propaganda..since 1999,you guys have be attributing every success to tinubu...Tinubu own lagos,tinubu that,that...all just to market him for 2023 election...you guys are the real enemies of Nigeria..there is nothing like lagos indigenous..Oyo,Ogun,Osun,Ondo and Ekiti are the core yoruba State in Nigeria..B4 u claim am a lagosians,first list ur State b4 u talk of Lagos..Nobody is claiming lagos is my own...even the irajibi man u are prasing is an indigenous of Osun State.. Nigeria is a divisive democracy...if I want to travel or clear my goods,I will have to go to lagos..why it is so,..all headquarter of multi organisation are base in lagos.....tell me why lagos won't be over crowded..90percents of Nigerians directly or indirectly deal with lagos..if I ask,why it so,u say hold ur State government accountable,4goten it is the decision of the federal government to decentralise lagos....Nigeria is failled Nations..Nairaland is tribal bigot forum,so I don't expect anything good from you...
since 1999 till now, you guys have been saying Tinubu is the grand patron of Agberos in Lagos even though he left office since 2007. If you say Tinubu is the cause of agberosim and other bad things happening in Lagos even when he's no more Governor, then you should balance it by admitting he's the cause of all good things in Lagos too.
tymicjay77: But mind you, at first be ready to face black man mentality to exploit his fellow man will come up, expect high price of power soon Because is only in Nigeria you will see increase in number of competitor of particular goods production process will be leading to high or skyrocket price. In a sane country the more the number of people producing a product the lower the price but no, the reverse is the case for my country.
Imagine the number of sachet water producer in this country yet sachet water is still expensive, that is why some people are still taking ordinary water instead of the process packaging water, Also check order product that has much producer, their price is very high. So, I m sure similar situation will come up in this power generation process too.
That's why the Government should make sure the individuals doesn't form a Union. Unions in Nigeria causes more harm than good.
I keep telling people most Obidients are just zombies
90% of Obidients just started following politics two months ago. That's why it's easy to lie to them. They don't even know how the country works. All they know is Peter Obi will do this and that. If you question the how they would become mute. Most don't even know the power of the President
Perfectbeing: The thing is that most Peter Obi's followers are new to politics. They just got to know about Peter Obi 2, 3 months ago so it's easy to lie to them. That was how one guy was telling me earlier this month that when Peter Obi was Governor, Anambra's GDP was higher than Lagos. I told him where did he get his info from and he added me to one WhatsApp group.
Chikeluba25: That is to tell you how myopic they are.
They know they don't have any argument so they are just struggling with every lie they could lay their hands on.
They will also tell you that the red Willie is Working Bus in the picture which Obiano used to reduce cost of transportation across Anambra to as low as 50-100 naira is also Peter Obi's work.

Onyipk: Listen to yourselves so with all he built ( that is the supposed heaven on earth you guys are posting up and down, he will still travel to visit a foreign hospital or doctor? That means none that he built is good enough for him? His travel documents were also seized by EFCC pending full investigation of his tenure. Anyway try from morning till night like tbe prophets of baal on mount Carmel, you can never sell an Obiano over a Peter Obi. Keep trying, try harder.... you will still fail woefully!
#IAMTOTALLYOBIDIENT #ISAIAH1:19
Which Nigerian hospital does Peter Obi use? Which Nigerian sch did Peter Obi children attended? Let's start from there
It is very unwitty to make such a sarcastic comment on topical issues such as this on public forum, Ironically, it's a ridicule to your person as a Perfectbeing
In other words, always make a perfect comments devoid of Sacarsm, you may take that your sacarsmic comments to the Jokes section, I will understand.
