Maybe grace to more grace. There are different levels of grace as well. There was no grass at any time. The man was an investment analyst who was in charge of pension funds at Shell. Then he became MidWest District Overseer a long time ago. He sent Iyin to one of the most expensive private secondary schools in Nigeria before he spent another year at an even more expensive prep school in Canada before he went to Uni there.

Has the guy made it bigger and utilized his opportunities? Yes. Is his story a grass to grace story as the average Nigerian would understand it? No.
If we become loose about our definition of grass to grace stories, we will have to add Dangote and Otedola. After all, they built on what they were initially given.

BlueRayDick:


We could as well add Deji Adeleke to grass to grace association of Nigeria since he also built on what his family had and became one of the biggest billionaires in the country

Ibime:


Going from Shell workers son to a near-billionaire is still a grass to grace story

There are different levels of grass.

And his pops only became GO long after Iyin had made it. Perhaps it's Iyins status and wealth that gave his pops rank to win the GO nominatin

DissTroy:

LOL. You definitely haven't seen Asemota clapback over the years.

Iyin, as much as I know, rarely ever gets personal with his attacks. And the hate he's been getting on Tech Twitter recently seems to coincide with him being 'vocally' pro-Tinubu. He basically just tweets positive things he notices about the government or intends to see without necessarily antagonising the other parties, or prays Tinubu's government goes well.

He doesn't deserve that much hate. It's undue.

GloriousGbola:


Ibori was a thief like practically all his fellow governors

He didn't get in trouble because he was a thief - he got in trouble because he went for the king (Obj) and missed. Same as alams story and Atikus story

The sad irony is that it appears he was the best governor delta state has had.

CrystalTiger:



I've always been of the opinion, matter/person wey police never handle, their hands dey am..SamLarry is still uncuffed despite all that's been propping up since..

Probably the plan is same as always, "GIVE IT TIME,NIGERIANS FORGET EASILY"..

BlueRayDick:


I don’t think this particular case will be business as usual. The public outcry is just deafening .

The fact that the IGP picked interest in the case , I’m willing to give the police the benefit of doubt to do the right thing in this matter

David Umahi is a typical example of round peg in round hole. The man too sabi.
Lagos - Ibadan Expressway will get solar street light.

Super Highway [concrete] from Abuja to Lagos ongoing [PPP]

Coastal Road from PH, across Cities in the East, North and end in Lagos [Concrete and PPP].

I pray this man succeed.

Not gonna lie they deploy viable solar street lights and are able to secure them from theft it will be great driving on an illuminated road at night

OkpaNsukkaisBae:




Umahi is the real Mr Project. From 1999 to 2023 no SE governor can match his energy in project/infrastructure delivery....

Ibime:


Dangote and Otedola are in no way comparable to an employee

I have many contemporaries who fit Iyin description. They are still in grass. His pop sending him abroad does not mean pops can baby him past university. Neither do their responsibilities extend much past paying school fees. Lot of niggas over here were soaking garri in uni while pops carried a massive schooling bill. You could write what you wrote up there for many gees who don't have financial freedom today like Iyin does

Example is Keniebi Okoko whose pops was chairman of Ijaw National congress. Keniebi was in UK and Canada still hustling like all of us till Jonathan called him home and made him a near billionaire. That is grass to grace. If someone told me that Keniebi was always set pointing to his pops leading INC, they will be far from reality

He also said the roads will be tolled

You didn't include that part

OasisX:




....I mentioned PPP in the post nah.

seankafor:
Omo the person that recommended top gun series here deserves one bottle of chilled heneiken 🍺on this cool Sunday..

By the way, why this unfounded cinema motive that gangsters don't use police on each other?

Na mainly police and feds Dem dey use retrieve funds and treat fuckups on opps here oo, na mainly for movies I dey see say them no dey use police on opps..

Everybody just wan chop for this country.

Another white elephant, unnecessary project.

We already have roads connecting these cities, so what exactly do we need another Coastal road for? Must Transportation start and end with roads?

Benin Bye pass is a nightmare. Na Federal road
Benin/Sapele na nightmare. Na Federal road
East/West road is terrible. Na Federal Road.

But no, we need a Coastal Road from PH to Lagos, and it would be concrete.

Let me not even bring up Abuja's own now.

These projects are very unnecessary at this time.

Jalingo-Yola and Wukari-Mutum Biyu axes of the road from Ogoja to the Cameroon border.


Which is a very important route because of the food that comes into the east from the north.


But nah, let's make more shiny new toys.

iamoyindamola:

You mean top boy
Gangsters using police on each other will be classified as snitching and cowardly

Itsrm:


The project seems to make a lot of sense to me. He said Lagos to Abuja will be 4 hours and maybe to PH, 3 hours.

As it stands, it takes roughly 10 hours to travel from Lag to PH and more than 50k worth of fuel.

That's unecessary waste of valuable time and money
