All the best to them

I have nothing against jandor, he is my tribesman, and he is fighting for a good course

Lagos State election is beyond crowd under a tent, it's a miles-walk campaign with flooded-crowd, we are talking 15 million population...

Please wait while your transaction is processing!!!

Tinubu's pampers need doubling.

Until May this year Peter Obi was one of the people oppressing and tormenting Nigerians that you referred to.

I can see sit at home victims typing nonsense here.
Ask their fathers to come out and campaign today Monday, they can't. But they are busy spewing trash here.
They have solutions to the problems of others but lack solutions to their own problems.

campaigns continue today again, Infact it’s now door to door campaign in Lagos State for Pdp now. Lagosians are rejecting APC at a very high rate. Sanwo olu is a goner.

You are fooling yourself. A million of your type can't remove Sanwo. You know why?
You are politically worthless and inconsequential.

PDP should get a more serious candidate in 2027.

They have already lost 2023 election even before it got started

One clown spotted! So you want PDP to feed clown like you as a party candidate in Lagos

Sounds like Comedy skit to me

who knows that one. Na for Election Day that people are waiting for him.

His godfather, Thiefnuibu knows him. The agberos Thiefnuibu refused to educate free in schools with adequate teachers also know MC Oluomo.
That is enough for the area boys.
Do you think that Thiefnuibu is competing with his norther enslavers to have the most street urchins aka almajiris

Realdeals:

Please what has Sanwo Olu (and Thiefnuibu, Fashola & Ambode) done in Lagos, for APC to continue looting Lagosians instead of doing a tiny bit of what Jakande did in only four years with very small money?
Is it not time for 20 million Lagosians to say Otogé

WHO SAYS 4 YEARS IN OFFICE IS NOT ENOUGH FOR MEANINGFUL ACHIEVEMENTS?

IT'S A FACT THAT 90% OF GOVERNORS IN NIGERIA SINCE 1999 WITH REVENUES AT THEIR DISPOSAL CANNOT BOAST OF A QUARTER OF THESE ACHIEVEMENTS EVEN WITHIN THEIR EIGHT YEARS IN OFFICE.

9jahotblog:

That is a difficult thing to foresee since many Lagosians seem to enjoy their sufferhead situation instead of singing Otogé after 24 years of reckless looting by Thiefnuibu and his gang of incompetent failures.
It is however not impossible to get rid of the looters hailed as leaders, in Alausa since 1999.

Splashme:
The first civilian governor of Lagos State, Alhaji Lateef Jakande, on Tuesday, said that the cancellation of the Lagos metroline project in 1985 was a major mistake and disservice to many Nigerians.

Jakande spoke in Lagos during the launch of a book which chronicled his life in politics and journalism.

The book, entitled, ‘Jakande: Leadership in Action’ is written by Dr. Bola Olaosebikan, who told the audience at the event that the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), was not responsible for the cancellation of the project.

Jakande said, “Reflecting on the metroline project, I think it is a major disservice to many Nigerians. Imagine how many people would have benefitted. It would have made life easier and changed the face of transport in Lagos. Whoever cancelled it or gave the advice towards its cancellation didn’t do right.”

The former governor asked Nigerians not to vote for unserious leaders in the coming polls, saying the elections presented Nigerians with a good opportunity that should not be squandered.

Expressing the hope that Nigeria would soon overcome its developmental challenges, Jakande said hope would be actualised faster if credible people emerged as leaders in the next dispensation.

He said, “This book comes at a very auspicious time in Nigeria’s history as we need leaders who can act. We need leaders who would not compromise the standards of good governance. God has blessed this nation the most in Africa, although we have not reached where we should be; with the right leaders, Nigeria would overcome its challenges.”

Interesting facts about Addis Ababa and Lagos light rail projects.

Addis Ababa / Lagos
Cost == $475Million / $1.2Billion
Length == 34km / 27km
Time to Complete == 4years / 7years (projected)
Year Awarded == 2011 / 2008 (Construction began 2010)
Contractor == China Railway Eng. Corp (CREC) /Chinese Civil Eng. Constr. Coy (CCECC)
Population == 5Million / 20Million


Ethiopia has managed to deliver Sub-Saharan Africa’s first modern light rail project which opened in the capital Addis Ababa on Sunday, and in the process, beat Lagos whose own rail project remains four years behind schedule.

Ethiopia’s rail project was delivered on time, despite its being longer than the Lagos – Badagry rail line currently under construction.

Addis Ababa’s two line 34-kilometre system was built by the China Railway Engineering Corporation (CREC) and cost $475m, 85 percent of which has been covered by China’s Exim bank. The Lagos Light Rail Project or Blue on Badagry Expressway, was to have 13 stations from Okokomaiko to Marina via Iddo for a total of 27 kilometres.

The contract was awarded to the Chinese Civil Engineering Construction Company (CCECC) at the cost of $1.2 billion in 2008, and was to be delivered in 2011. Survey work took one year between August 2009 and August 2010 while construction began July 2010.

The work is being implemented using the public and private partnership (PPP) model, whereby the state builds the infrastructure and the private sector provides the rolling stock and management. However, the project has not worked out according to the plan.
The 2011 deadline was missed, even though the State government got a loan to fund the project.

Lagos light rail’ll be ready in June – Fashola
January 9, 2013

The Lagos State Governor Babatunde Fashola on Tuesday said the first phase of the state Blue Light Rail project would be completed by June this year(2013).

He expressed confidence that Lagosians would start enjoying the services of the rail project immediately.

The first phase would run from Marina and terminated at Okokomaiko area in Ojo Local Government.

Fashola spoke during an inspection of ongoing projects in the state which took him and his cabinet members to Orile-Iganmu, Alimosho and Ejigbo areas among others to assess the level of works being done by contractors.

The governor, who inaugurated the trackwork of the blue light rail at Alaba Suru, Coker-Agunda Local Council Development Area, said the level of work on the road and those of the National Theatre and Alaba-Mile 2 rail stations, would ensure early completion

He said, “In order to finish the project, the contractor did not go on vacation during the festive period. This will ensure that the project is delivered on time for the use of Lagosians.

“The first section of this rail, which started from National Theatre, Orile-Iganmu to Mile 2 Bus Stop, would be fully completed with the tracks laid.

“Construction work will continue on the project from Orile-Iganmu to Marina, the expansion work on the road from Mile 2 to Okokomaiko will also be intensified.

“This is what we do with the loan collected by the government. We don’t use our loan to pay salaries and other recurrent expenditure, what we do with our loan is to provide capital projects that would serve the residents.

“When the project is completed, the state would be at par with other major cities of the world.”

You must be stupid and silly at the same time. So cos Funke is an entertainer and actress, it means she's not a serious candidate? Ronald Reagan who became a two time president of the USA was an actor and Arnold Schwarzenegger who was also a well known actor became the governor of California.

All you m0rons should do away with your backward, primitive, rustic mindset and face the reality of the moment.

Just like The Pharmacist, Jandor is an APC plant.

Even though I am anti Tinubu, I respect the man's political chess game. One should learn from a anyone who is BOTH strategic and tactical.

Unfortunately, he is also the most self serving politician in Nigeria so his positive attributes are swallowed up by that reality

Looking at most of the comments here you'll get a clue on one of the reasons Nigeria seldom have the good (not even best) hands elected for leadership roles.
I noticed that an average American adult, knows more than 85% of aspiring leaders in his county, with their respective track records, dispositions and affiliations, not to talk of his entire state.
They even set up events and schemes to get to run litmus tests on the aspirants. To deduce what stuff they have to offer, thereby giving the 'unpopular' first time aspirant a good chance to be considered.
They don't vote popularity and fame(or person wey get mouth, as most Nigerians would say). They vote capacity and competence. And if after the votes, the elected is discovered to be a minus in most practical respects, they wait till the next polls to kick his ass out, sometimes he may even step down to avoid further complexities.
But in Nigeria, any first time aspirant is mocked, and as good as dead on arrival. We believe in wealth and old mistakes, to be better prospects for leadership roles. You complain of Tinubu, but call Jandor a joke. At the end of the day, you end up with Tinubu's work piece.
Una dey always look for person ''wey get mouth'', not somebody wey dey competent with better prospects even if na first timer.
It's so sad.
