It's good, they are doing well by delivering quality governance to their people through these laudable projects.

I am sure their Yoruba communities are very happy with this great project of renaming old Igbo street names in Lagos to Yoruba names

Well done guys

Where Are The Cows? Is Evans A Herdsman?'


When Funke Olakurin, daughter of Afenifere leader, Pa Reuben Fasoranti was murdered instead of Bola Tinubu to make sure that the perpetrators were brought to book, he ended up making fun of the death of the young lady by turning everything into tribalism by showing his hates for Igbos.


Tinubu has never spoken against the deadly activities of Fulani herdsmen across the country

The same stand Adeyinka Grandson gave on the death of Fasoranti's daughter is where Tinubu, the leader of the Yoruba Conservatives stands. Please see Tinubu's video below. pic.twitter.com/COhiSvabqW

Mrs Olakunrin died of gunshot wounds in July 2019 after her vehicle was attacked by armed men, suspected to be marauding Fulani bandits whose violent activities had reached a frightening level across the southwest states.


Those arrested suspects include Lawal Mazaje, 40, from Felele area of Kogi State; Adamu Adamu, 50, from Jada area of Adamawa State; Mohammed Usman, 26, from Illela area of Sokoto State and Auwal Abubakar, 25, from Shinkafi area of Zamfara State....

However, the leader of the team, identified only as Tambaya, and three others are yet to be found.

Tambaya has been declared wanted by the police and he is said to be capable of communicating in Hausa, Fulfude and Pidgin English.

Is this a cover for their incompetence and failure to deliver like progressives did in the past

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.”

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.

We warned them severally to face their home region and develop the place, they called us names.
Now that Yorubas have finally decided to "ronu", let's see how they will boast about buying up lands in South West or call Lagos no man's land.
Most Yorubas I know (myself inclusive) don't make such annoying assertions about Lagos, even though it's our home, in our home region, we still recognize the makeup of the State. It's time for Yorubas from all over to protect all Yoruba territories including Lagos State to avoid stories that touch later.

Nnamdi Azikiwe tried to separate Lagos from South West but failed, Ojukwu tried same thing from the letter he wrote to Victor Banjo describing Lagos as a colony that will be under Igbo administration once they invade South West region.
Most people don't know that the greed of Ojukwu to annex lands in South West was what fueled the civil war and got Yorubas angry, they are towing same path today thinking Yorubas can't send them pack.ing.

Ttalk:
Don't delve into what you don't know,there nothing in Awori dialect that is called Alaba. That area has been indigenous settlement up 80s when Jakande open up the area. You can as well tell me the meaning of Okokomaiko, PPL and Cassidy.

While I agree that Alaba could literally mean the owner of a hut, but the naming of Alaba market has nothing to do with that

Now Lagos state is beginning to take control of its affairs.

The next is to rename some market that their name has no link to the people of Lagos state.

It is high time Alaba market is changed to reflect the history of the people of Ojo. There nothing in Yoruba and Awori dialect that bears Alaba.

You'll are doing too much ...but you are doing too much for things that dont matter! As if renaming the streets will make them more motorable or will reduce rent or ease hardship or stop the area from smelling!

The target of the renaming where obviously Charly boy and Ifeanyi street...the others are just for show! No conductor will stop saying charly boy though

Meanwhile, please renamed UNILAG I want to check something. Till then...keep up the rubbish
