The whole country nko ??

Imoleeeeeeee 💡

Dear Lagosians,

Two years ago, we took a bold step with the launch of the Lagos Rail Mass Transit Blue Line. Today, as I look back on how far we have come, I feel a deep sense of pride and gratitude.

In these two years, the Blue Line has carried more than five million passengers safely, without a single accident. Trains now run every ten minutes, making over 90 trips each day. Journeys that once took much longer have become faster and easier.

These achievements show that when we work with dedication and purpose, we can build systems that truly serve the people.

I want to thank you for the trust and support you have shown. This project belongs to all of us, and it is your belief in a greater Lagos that makes progress possible.

To mark this second anniversary, I am pleased to announce a 50% reduction in fares on the Blue Line for tomorrow Thursday, September 4, 2025. If you have not yet experienced the Blue Line, I encourage you to take a ride and see what we have built together.

Our journey is far from over. Step by step, we are creating the Lagos we all desire, building a city where moving around is easier, safer, and faster.

Together, we are shaping the Lagos of our future.

Ttalk:
With the president or no president SW will continue to be the pacesetter.Others can continue to wait for the presidency that won't get to them in their lifetime.

WorldRichest:
Where is the railway which contract Peter Obi signed when he was governor?

Where is the railway which Rotimi Amaechi spent billions to start when he was governor?

Those are two of the new Messiahs of the shallow thinkers

Lagos is a slum, but as Yorubas pray to go to Heaven, they pray to go to Lagos

Was it before or after he left his job in Lagos to go and say bye bye to Tinubu at Abuja airport?🤔

I couldn’t help but shudder at people’s fathers disgracing themselves.

RISQUE:
In a world where people are breaking barriers, thinking about making their lives better, this one is living everyday striving on how to be more tribalistic.

There was a 50% reduction in fares to mark the occasion.

Indeed. In fact, the greatest and most pivotal period of progress Lagos recorded, post 1999, was achieved while she was in political opposition to the ruling Party under Tinubu and Fashola. It is the reason I will always respect PBAT and Fashola.

If Ogun State can get a truly dynamic and visionary Govenor post Dapo Abiodun, and the SW take the implementation of the DAWN regional integration road map very seriously, then we would literally be in another millenium in ten years time.

This is why I think other region's focus on the Presidency is misguided. The Presidency is not a magic wand to suddenly make every Nigerian wealthy, happy and fulfilled.

What the Presidency should do is remove bottleneck so those who truly want peace, progress and socio-economic greatness can achieve such without 'one Nigeria' impediment.

What all regions should be seeking is greater autonomy over their socio-economic decision-making and direction, including full control over security parastatals, so they can make optimal progress commensurate with their human and material endowment if that is indeed what they truly desire.
