MightySparrow:
Charlie boy does not understand that his sin is tribal not personal. When Lagos State of Assembly decided to be speaking Yoruba, dressing in Yoruba attire, they are simply telling you that Lagos is not a ' No Man's Land's. Lagos wants to uproot your history, remembrance and legacies such that in few decades to come, no Igbo man will have any identification than signpost if his business.

You guys are bringing this upon yourselves. This is the sophistication we are talking about- fighting without noise. You cannot challenge the move in court. Even the courts are filled with yorubas everywhere.


When will igbos be wise? In the same vein, Igbo presidency would be very difficult in Nigeria. Keep up making money and be developing your Lagos as the extension of your Igbo states.

There's nothing sophisticated about tribal bigotry, or underdeveloping a place that used to be cosmopolitan. If you guys are as sophisticated as claimed, other SW states would have been following Lagos closely in development, but move around SW cities, its a complete shíthole. Look at Ogun state, blessed with immense IGR yet it looks like Gaza.

When I resided in ND I used to think governors from the SS & SE were the worst untill i had a project is 4 SW states i was disappointed in omoluabis. It was an eyesore. Its the widespread poverty & underdevelopment in those SW states that make you guys claim Lagos. If your states were ok, you wouldn't give 2 fcuks about lagos

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.

Validated:
Lagos idea of renaming streets sharks of inferiority complex. I hope the will rename Murtala Muhammad Aurport, Ahmed Bello Way or even Ozimba Mbadiwe Road.

It is appalling that in 2025, we are this backward. Perhaps one day the Geari indegenes will begin renaming institutions. May be the will rename Tinubu Conference center then.

edet19892015:
Unless you understand your role in society, you can never make any meaningful contribution.

According to the Greeks, they are three types of people on Earth,
1. The idiots,
2. The tribesmen, and
3. The citizens.

Studies show only 10% of Africans are citizens.
The remaining 90% are either tribesmen or idiots.

1. When the Greeks used the word "Idiot", they did not use it as a curse word.
Idiots are people who just don’t care.
If they sit for exams, they will cheat.
If they are in government they will steal.

An idiot does not care at all, if he eats bananas he throws the peels anywhere instead of putting them in a trash bin.

IDIOTS won't attend monthly neighborhood meetings. They won't pay security dues. They won't contribute to community development. Even when they see or know about something that will harm others in the community they won't report it. When they see/know/have something that will benefit their community they won't share.

In fact, Idiots don't care to register for or vote in an election, yet they complain the most. If they register to vote, IDIOTS will sell their votes for peanuts.

According to the Greeks, some societies have more idiots than tribesmen and citizens.

2. The next set of people are "Tribesmen", these are people that look at everything from the point of view of their tribe.

These are people that believe in you only if you are part of their tribe.
It can be terrible to have a tribesman as a leader, he will alienate the rest.

When the Greeks talk about tribes, it’s not just about ethnicity, they also consider religion, gang membership, group membership, party membership and even cult membership as a tribe.

A great percentage of Africans are tribesmen, because they view everything from the point of view of their tribes. They trust only their tribesmen

3. The last group are "Citizens".
These are people who like to do things the right way.
They will respect traffic light rules even if no one is watching them.

They drive within speed limits.
They respect the laws, and won’t cheat in exams.
In government, they won’t steal.
They are compassionate and give to others to promote their well-being.

Citizens often promote projects that benefit everyone.
The Greeks called this group "The Citizens".

Some countries have more citizens than tribesmen and idiots, others have so many idiots.

A tribesman can become a citizen through orientation.
And an idiot can become a citizen by training and constant enforcement of the law.

But things fall apart if you elect an idiot or tribesman to lead you if he has not been reformed.

Where do you belong? Are you an idiot, a tribesman or a citizen? Reflect on your life.
Reflect about your immediate community, city, state and nation.

Neo-black Problem: Must Blacks Be Ruled by Whites in Order to Prosper?

In short, the neo-black dilemma may be framed as follows: is it better to live under white rule without political dignity but with basic life-sustaining standards for many;

or to live under black rule with illusory political dignity and without basic life- sustaining standards for the majority?

The path forward for Africa lies in cultivating higher and adequate levels of personal and communal agential integrity as well as full personal responsibility and productivity. Not to mention creativity (including epistemic creativity), productive justice (such as merit and freedom), harmony and reconciliation at local and international levels, and a proper domestication of capitalism and other related values and institutions.

Africa must stop wasting her time on dreams of socialism because it is a system of wealth distribution primarily. Whereas, capitalism is a system of wealth creation primarily, and wealth has to be produced before it can be distributed.

Sheuns:
People from Ogbomoso, Ogun, Osun etc that are opportune to hold elective positions in Lagos are renaming streets of non-Yorubas after Yorubas that have no roots in Lagos state.

The Aworis and Eguns will respond to all these in the nearest future.

You guys can enjoy your time for now. No deed will be left

See how destiny has made crocodile tears your lot ? What a pity ! Crying more than the bereaved.

Of course, you expected that when you know you are against Tinubu.

It's funny how you felt we are "one Nigeria."

These guys are doing themselves more harm than good, all in the name of tribalism. Nothing lasts forever. I don't see this move stopping what happened in 2023 election from repeating himself in 2027 cos its same voters who will still vote same person. Nonsense

blackgold2018:
you know the legacy he is talking about or perhaps you be newbie.
Tribalism no go allow una reason well

Konquest:
Charles Oputa is from Oguta in Imo State NOT Anambra. What made that Bus Stop significant back in the day is that Charles' house was located close to it. You could literally see his house while driving along the expressway heading towards the 3rd Mainland Bridge.

However, he moved permanently from Lagos with his African-American wife, Diane to live in his newly built house in the FCT for some years now so his eccentric presence and aura are far removed from the Gbagada community now...Therefore, the renaming of the Bus Stop can be justified.
