The south west governors are actually focusing on agriculture right now.

Ekiti, Ondo, Osun, Ogun.
I'm not sure of makinde,
Lagos too only one news about them (Lake rice)

Lagos can be excused when it comes to agriculture because we know it doesn't have the land; and moreover, its strenght is in business. But others should do more because we ain't seeing most of their produce in the market; and especially we ain't seeing the export impact and value. Look into the market and tell me how many of our states key in into the opportunity rice production presents. It's shameful and to think we once export and still have the capacity to export so many crops including cocoa, cotton, palmoil, rubber, and cassava. How many finished goods are they trying to produce with these agricultural products? What are the infrastructures and systems put in place to improve market structure in these states, and what are their progress towards creating and nurturing the growth of a manufacturing zone as well as the presence of a CBD? Or can you point to me where the CBD of any of them are?
Even if only the mentioned items are our strength, and we create manufacturing and exporting rings round them, create a CBD around them too in capacity of services, marketing and research, we are destined to go places but it seems our various governments are tax-focused hence the reason agriculture is being left at the mercy of the populace. If we want more progress, we need to do more.

I reserve my comment about this until after the election. I want to know if truly some certain people's support is a big CURSE. Let's see what the result at the booth unravel before jumping into conclusion, anyway.

That's commendable but the governor should improve on infrastructure and agricultural produce to improve the state's IGR. We need our states in southwest pushing harder and faring better. We need to do more.

Chai... see smackdown!!! This Wike's brutal, i beg. How would he hit the nail on the head without massaging some of his fans ego like that?
So no 2023 presidency for some certain people upon all the threat and tantrums from some quarters by many of them. Ha! It's finished.

Just when I thought I have seen ti all, then this. Jeez! is this how shallow-minded/half-wit these people are that anyone of them can say even the dumbest of things and still amass good number of devoted followers? See them cladded in black and some of them even crying over that foolish play.
Han-Han. Can't just stop laughing since I saw this news . This is the height of it all when it comes to foolishness.

The headache of some people. Lagos keep developing while they wail. We need them wailing though so we might stay woke to tackle the obvious inadequacy in the state. But one thing amma gonn tell them though is the fact that we ain't gonn stop for anything. In Lagos, we keep moving.
Sanwo Olu, deliver the pen-cinema bridge and the Festac link bridge fast, we want to add to some people's sorrow, please. We want to show them what a slum looks like.

The same wailers complaining of how d north and west are "using our brothers' oyel to develop their lands" will keep quiet and turn d blind eyes now o.
All of them be peepin' and running away!

Hold ur leaders- govs, senators, reps, ministers etc - accountable, na lie, na tinubu matter dem go carry for head like locust beanz!

See as thread dry!

They won't show up now. They'd rather create thread against the Yorubas they fear might be nominated for the presidential poll and keep asking around what and what this and that did in government. Well, we ain't get time to answer them now; we reserve the joker for the last. The 2023 is still a little far away. They can keep the wail going now while we look on and offer them bucket. When the time comes, we will show them who has the superior record. For now, happy wailing to them.

richie240:
Our ppl used to say DT: "d termite eating d vegetable is right underneath d same vegetable".
Imagine what d amount ds goons cornered would've done to d nigerdelra if put to appropriate use!

Someone will still query the list on why tinubu's name is missing from it.

Their leaders are killing away their future but it's Tinubu whom the state he once governed still has the best of progress in the land that they'd rather attack. Let them keep calling out our leaders for us and we hope they continue to point out areas the state is lacking in so attention can be giving to the inadequacy. I hope they keep neglecting their contineously rotten region too so those hyped leaders of theirs can loot even the future of their unborn generation with little or nothing to show for it.
Their pain is immeasurable. They can never hide it.

With all these redevelopments the governor is doing coupled with the completion and/or ongoing works on projects of past administrations asides the ones he's sanctioned for construction, the children of hate will still wake up tomorrow to demand what he's done in office. Many of them have already been saying he's done nothing for his first year that you wonder what happens to their eyes with the little changes here and there going on. Potholes disappearing, abandoned lightrail by the Ambode's adminstration finally crossed the sea to CMS with stations being built as we speak, completion of road projects left behind by Ambode, construction of Lekki/ proposed Forth Mainland bridge link road started, construction of roads in Badagry also started, these numerous expansion of roads and redevelopment to ease traffic burden on the commuters, and some more.
Thanks to Ogun state for taking a bit of burden off the state in term of population, I must say that the ish is much more the reason the Mainland is suffering as we speak. We need other states stepping up too.

ps: It was during his first year that Lagos state itself roll out more boats to help propel water transportation system in the state; that which brought about increment in the route they ply. Earlier, it had been private investment thing.

Oil is going nowhere in the next few years, not even in hundred years so I don't see why he should worry about temporary problem that comes because of temporary closure of world economy as a result of a pandemic. The trial shall pass and the world would return back to normal. The price of oil will rise again as it has been risen for some weeks back now.
Besides, the cost of crude products he buys will determine the selling price; so, he isn't losing no dime. It's a very good investment considering many of African oil producing countries still export crude products to refine outside their dormain because of no or low-capacity refinery(s) in many of them.

Plus the folks who liked his post, all dumb, ignorant self-haters drowning in inferiority complex.

I wonder if their father's house in Ikoyi looks like these Berlin photos.

Anyway who dash their papa house for Ikoyi.

Don't mind them. how's that place as good as the Ikoyi shown? Whenever they cry about Lagos being a glorified slum, I often remind them that it is still the best the country has to offer and it still stand as one of the best in Africa.
Imagine one of them saying Ikoyi turns to mediteranian sea during rainfall as if he's ever get the opportunity to see the place or know how it looks during the rain. They will be in their god-forsaken region and be spewing hate as if the state is in competition with any of theirs. Just let them continue in their envy. It ain't gonn stop Lagos developing. Infact, it should be motivating our leaders to do more.

The way we develop housing/estate properties in the country makes for a simple sad story like this. We don't put so much interest in the good drainage and proper sewage systems, and our maintenance culture as well as good neighbourhood practices are nonexistence too. To see that Abuja (that should be some good meter above sea level and which was planned from scratch) would suffer this after a real rainfall says so much above our government and town planning councils. It's a shame really.

Ritchiee:
I told you it is their consolation song They have to cling to something nah. Azikiwe sang ...no man's land...until he died and was taken back to his potopoto region and dumped into Abakaleke mortuary where they all came from.

@bolded really cracked me up. Those guys are some rare dumb breed.

Ritchiee:
He is just consoling his people with mouth action.They have a lot of consolation songs they always cling to just to save face.Igbos are known for deceiving themselves. Ojuku once said that Biafran army was the best army in Africa.
Yes,the rag tag army was actually called the best.They always fantasize.
Everybody knows that before Lagos,Yorubas have developed Ibadan and Igbos were going there in droves. Yorubas faced Lagos and the development continues.Yorubas are master developers.
Meanwhile, Ibadan even with its old area,is still more developed than the entire Igboland.

Exactly. That's why I point him to the financial institutions and obvious presence of other tribes in places he might call villages in Yorubaland to show him wealth is not just concentrated in the capitals but other places in each of our states are contributing. HE MIGHT BE THINKING THOSE PLACES ARE FARMS AND FORESTS LIKE THEIRS BUT HE WILL SURELY BE SHOCKED THAT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THOSE PLACES AND THE OTHERS HE'S BEEN TO/SEEING IN SW ARE MINIMAL.

AmuDimpka:
Young man why all these long epistle ...are you a lecturer that is on strike ?

The truth is that Yoruba never created Lagos....if they do,they should have replicated it on other states the way Igbo replicated. Onitsha as the most built up city ...and Igbo cities are built up

Dude let's move on...all Nigeria has a stake in Lagos...if online and digital voting is deployed...trust me Yoruba might never rule Lagos again due to the fact other tribes outnumbered them


So quit ranting son

Kid, shake yourself outta that daydream. Don't let Tinubu's leniency decieve you. Yoruba will always rule Lagos State whatever the method of voting deployed; all it just take is the return of the system to favour the rightful owner.
You seem to be holding on to the old pictures of Ogun and Oyo states in the 21st century. Those states are doing great for themselves too and have markets in them that are not just raking in money for the populace but also the state government. Check Ogbomosho, Saki, Iseyin, Oyo town etc in Oyo States and many other LGS in both Ondo and Ogun State apart from the capital to see the number of financial institutions in them as well as the non-indigenes/other tribes residing in there. That's to tell you how great the Yorubas are doing for themselves.

We've seen overtime how that it is easier in a league than another; especially when the board of this same league have a certain soft spot for a certain player.

Another mad one on the loose. All them Orjis, them governors ain't matter even as they loot their region dry with little development to show for it but they would rather focus their energy on Tinubu whose Lagos is still showing some improve development.
Wailer!!!

What I don't undrstand is why we have to keep doing this to ourselves. The politicians who set the country this backward live around us; why not channel the same energy use in threatening innocent people for money onto the looters by demanding our right, which is good leadership, from them? Those are the one we need to threaten; the ones who deserve to live in fear of us. They are the ones whom we have to oblige to do our wish.

Another joke!!!!

TheGodlessGod:
Lagos should be heigher

How do you mean? Has any of your people who arrived here lately complained of hunger? If they are not lazy and selective, works are abound for them to do. Tell them to get off their ass and get something doing. In Lagos, if you can hustle, you've solved half of your monetary challenges.

AmuDimpka:
Sounding like a child that his candies have been taken doesn't change that fact that all Nigerians developed Lagos and it is not Yoruba ....so if you want to get Lagos back be ready to fight physically and not online ...fight all Nigerians ,do you have the balls


Abeg I no dey for noisemaking... It's the realities of life.

Young man, we ain't suppose to get personal and emotional over this, do we? You guys were the ones who shout about of Lagos being a scam and being a glorified village hence the reason I pointed out that,

that scam of a village is sitll the best the country has to offer and even so, it's still among the best Africa has to offer

, so why the noise?
Mind you, I ain't got no problem with anybody staying in the state and will never say no tribe has contributed to the improvement of its development but what I may not sit out is the fact that you badmouth something you know is still better than the one you're trying to compare it with. Look around the state, the streets are named after greats politicians, icons and affluent of the society from all regions. Most of them made this positions in or because of what they'd achieved in the state and there are still some around today who are doing great in the state whom you will not specifically call aboriginals but have taken the state as home.
The Eko Atlantic is a CHARGOURY's development and even though he'd lived all his life in Lagos and see himself as Lagosian, like his father, he's still partly Lebanese which is the origin. There are lots of Indians and chinese too who were born here and has taking Lagos as home. Dangote has many of his biz in Lagos so is the Rabiu's Bua. Some Igbos too are contributing as well as the Yorubas (and so are other tribes not mentioned) so I can't undermine others contribution. But the Igbos keep making it look like we owe them for it and when you let them realise that that's impossible, they start the game of name-calling and badmouthing. New York, London (to name the famous two) are seeing continuos development because they are highly cosmopolitans and many countries have businesses in them, yet none of these hosted nations has never claimed to have developed any of them and cetainly, they are not being badmouthed for it. So why should a tribe be all ego about being the developer, threatening brimstone and fire about leaving and some fairy crumbling when we can all hail ourselves for the progress?

AmuDimpka:
...funny they leave their home state to rot ...they are so ashamed to identify with their states. They die and be buried in Lagos ...


They rarely go to village...all of them na lagosian

Lagos that is 70% slum

Says the man from the rot. Let your envy eat you up while the same Lagos continue to represent you as the best y'all got to offer in the stats. Last time I heard that Makoko is the worst slum in Africa was from a man from the YEAST but Makoko hasn't even made top five by reputable stats. And then, behold! Port-Harcourt seaside happened and I'm like, "wow, what a world!"

Why I can't stop laughing about the antics of the Igbos is their fairy tale of how some part of their land are better than Lagos as if Lagos is in a competition with any of them. There was a time one was all hype about Uyo roads and living standard that he said everything there was better than any part of the Mainland, Lagos. He gave some stadium road pictures and was all mouth and foaming. He thought Uyo was hideous; that no one would dig it out.
Funny enough, the same Uyo was brought up on an international thread and boom! in one crazy explosive moment, the Uyo he wouldn't want us to see got splashed onto my screen in a horible glare. What a moment it was that day. And to think this was a thread we had shown many parts of the Mainland, including but not limited to the Surulere, Festac, Ikeja, Yaba, Lagos Mainland, and even Badagry. Those people just love to make themselves happy with non-existence things. Let them return to their good Uyo; we ain't gonn miss them.
Now there is another one up there telling you Owerri is as good as V.I without the banks, oil companies and telecomms. He has forgotten that those are not all but that there are many other companies that offer other services and even though without them too, the development of the two areas can never be compared.
Let them delight in their fairytale though. Or they go hug transformer for the headache Lagos is giving them because the latest indices of world most developed cities still has Lagos as the number one in Nigeria and one of the best in Africa. This is what that matters to us not their usual wail borne out of envy of not having the same.
Mind you, we know we must keep on trying our best to right the obvious wrongs to make the state more livable and secure and we ain't stopping for anything. The progress may be slow but we are still moving forward. That's what matters too.

mrvitalis:
Fashiola was over hyped as governor ... honestly the first time I went to Lagos as a pH boy I was disappointed ...from airport to lekki ...not a single standard road ...the worst is that lekki epe Express

Now he has failed as a minister too

As a governor he was no we're near aklabio and ameachi in any aspect

Is it not you, again? You can wail all you want Jare, make Lagos dey continue to dey give you more headache by improving everyday. Please, do open a thread for this too. Incase you need a bucket for your tears, I can recommend to you where to get the biggest one. Happy wailing in advance!

snoopylinus:
You want hype Lagos be that o..OGa Lagos na scam!!

Thank God you guys ain't any of these institutions that assesses these states and cities. And you are not investors who are capitalising on this assessment.I know the state/city you'll want to say is better but check through the internet and see the ratings all the reputable institutions give them both. They are all parts of Nigeria, though, so if it's also doing well, it's good. Moreover, if Lagos's a scam to you you can always go wherever you think is better and stop yourself the pain of having to wail about this all the time. Nobody's hyping Lagos, we know it still has along way to go.
And mind you, the guy asked a simple question. Most roads to Lekki from Airport were constructed long before Fashola and many are still in good condition now without being renovated even since Fashola left so how can there be no single good road?

Akharmony:
i take this to b true. I will prefer past govrnor Ambode to him.

You'll prefer Ambode because he left everything in a rot so you guys can have something to point at. Even most roads that was unfinished under Fashola was ignored. Today, they are the same thing you guys are pointing at to mock Lagos. Can the guy tell us when the Lekki Express he mention suffered that degression and who was in power then?
If Lagos's a scam, leave it for us to worry about. We ain't owing you guys any apology for doing what we are doing.

Abohboy:
Nigeria doesn’t need to be like Dubai. Nigeria will be like Nigeria. We need to stop trying to do the same thing as other countries. We need to be unique. I personally want a nigeria. Where traditional culture is made modern like adding our own architecture onto skyscrapers, hospitals, schools, teaching our own languages and writing systems in schools etc.

Wow, how I wish this is how every Nigerian reasons.

newguy1:
he his catchin cruise on u bro don’t work urself up. Anything u say he will turn it on u.

Nice one, bud. I ain't giving him any of my time again. He's finished off his 15mins fame as far as my attention is concerned.

ArchAngeI:
what you are saying indirectly is laycon is equal to Michael Jackson

And better than davido and wizkid

hype of life

Continue

Can't you read between the lines? You gave me a question, I replied with examples and yet you seem to be dragging the argument down another lane. Go back to what I wrote and this time read carefully perhaps two, three times till you comprehend properly. I ain't got time for this, I'm busy.

ArchAngeI:
which songs? I have played his songs

He is so good and davido that likes to milk attention hasnt talked about signing him

Good indeed,a pigs voice is beautiful to his mother

As good as Michael Jackson is, not everybody liked/likes his songs? I've met a friend who said his songs are boring?
There are many talented artist who are better than that Davido and Whizkid who are still outthere looking for the grace. We only get to the summit at out right time. So, your greatness doesn't come because your talented at what you do because there are others who are better and haven't broken through but because you have the grace.

ArchAngeI:
talent


You concluded that he is talented because he spent 10mins vibing

Since the show began how many times has he rapped?

Guy forget that talent gist, una like am cause he is poor and looks poor

You enjoy seeing poor people win against well to do people

He's got songs outside the hous so what's the question again?

ArchAngeI:
oga nonsense is nonsense there is no difference of opinion


Na efe crew be this


Their arguements can be senseless eh

Has he misyarn? CAN YOU POINT OUT HIS FLAW ALREADY OTHER THAN HIS LOOK. If there hasn't been any fault other than what you assume, then what's the problem. Live and let others live, bud.

Amya:
If he's living up to the hype, I wouldnt have a problem. But he's just too regular with very little personality.

You sure? Perhaps, lets bury this then. But point still remain others get the right ot hype whatever they want.
