[quote author=Shikini post=136324188]So, I have to do solidarity for a nepotistic president that gives appointment to only his Yoruba kinsmen ... neglecting SS ? SE?

The Buhari you talked about did spread appointments to a all three Northern regions but Tinubu only appoints Yorubas

[quote author=anonimi post=136318475]It is owned by the FG through the NPA with funding largely by a private company to which it is concessioned for 45 years, after which it will revert to the FGN.

The federal government concessioned the port to investors, and the FGN will repossess it after the 45 years period.

Lekki Deep Sea Port

The FEC approval for the project was granted on 14th May 2014 vide its Conclusions referenced
EC 15(14)4 and after the closure of negotiations by the Nigerian Ports Authority, a Concession
Agreement dated 12th December 2018 was finally executed for 45 years on a Build, Own,
Operate and Transfer (BOOT) basis

Buhari came with nepotism quite alright, but Tinubu elevated nepotism to a level never seen before. But i. 2025, he should be ready to face the rest of Nigerians that are not from either Lagos or South West. He has governed as if it is only South West that make up Nigeria giving us from other parts of Nigeria an opportunity to conspire and give him the 2015 Jonathan treatment. He thinks rigging will work this time around. Lets see how it works when the majority harbour political animosity for him for being sidelined and running down the economy with massive borrowing with little or nothing to show for it .

Nice lifting from Google except that more than half of the projects you listed above were done by the katsina State government. Now show us federal projects in the North embarked upon by Tinubu that are equivalent to the following projects completed by Buhari in the Southwest both in terms of scale and economic importance.

Lagos-Ibadan Railway
And this should be an achievement for 8yrs?
Lekki Deep Seaport
Lagos-Ibadan Expressway
Lagos Badagry Apapa Road
Brand new International Airport Terminal
Etc.

I'll wait.

It's so ridiculous d amount quoted for rehabilitation of Lagos Airport is enough to build new bigger airport.

My own is not even d appointments he's busy giving to lagosian alone.Bt spending n borrowing for projects in Lagos alone is ridiculous. 1 trillion for Coastal road we can connect d whole railway n buy trains to ease up around d country.700bn for rehabilitation of airport..that amount will build new one.

The Lagos-Calabar coastal highway is even worth more than #1t, all those projects will definitely be abandoned if tinibu failed to win his reelection.
Even if he wins...d project can't be completed till a abt 30yrs time.He knows he can't complete it bt aims to create road to Eko Atlantic n stop there

If Yakassai never asked Buhari this question for eight whole years of lopsided appointmentshuh He doesn't have the right to say such to Tinubu.

What's sauce for the goose is good enough for the gander... You can't eat your cake and have it. undecided
You should copy good, not bad. Buhari was guilty of being bias and when the likes of us spoke out, you lot said we are driven by hare for the APC.

Now, your lokan has entered and instead of proving to the world that he's more learned than the daft cattle rearer from Daura, your power grabbing pay master is shamelessly copying the same error, worsening an already bad situation. How very unreasonable

Come 2027, Tilimbu must be shown the way back to Irajigbiji or wherever he came from.
Re: Alleged lopsided projects: Is Tinubu President of Nigeria or Lagos? - Yakassai by bdon123(m): 10:21am On Aug 03, 2025
Why can't tinubu build new ports at bayelsa or rivers to open up our economy wit those places having direct access to Atlantic Ocean.Bt no ,he wants Lagos monopoly to continue so he can keep collecting his percentage.
Why is niger delta neglected?there is water access to ocean.build us another port.

[quote author=bdon123 post=136326812][/quote]The most annoying part is that ,the project will most likely turn into an abandoned project if another govt or party comes into power. If APC loses the next election ,I am sure any incoming government will drop the project and start another

Even if it's for Lagos alone, Lagos is the convergence of everyone, Lagos bears all the brunt, everyday buses entering Lagos from North to South filled with people, am sure even you probably came to Lagos to hustle, you should be happy, don't hate.

It will be finished, Lagos deserves it, all of you from your states are running to Lagos, Lagos deserves it. FG needs to give Lagos 1% of total revenue as maintainace tax, for handling all sorts of people running from their ravaged states. Lagos deserves everything, it's VAT feeds you.

Am talking of VAT from Lagos that is shared to poor states, am not talking of crude here, the majority of crude comes from South South.

Am telling you how Lagos state feeds and help poor states, so you have to respect and pray for Lagos. Don't bite the hand that feeds you.

Truer words have never been spoken. On the flip side, Tinubu and his erstwhile APC allies in Kano state appear to be at each other's jugular lately. Tinubu is struggling to prove to Kwankwaso that he's done with Ganduje all in a bid to get him to decamp. Gawuna, APC's gubernatorial candidate in 2023 just got relieved of his federal appointment while Tinubu keeps holding publicised meetings with allies of Kwankwaso like Abdulmuminu Jubrin. Clearly, Tinubu is desperate.

Gawuna is still the chairman of federal housing Authority.
