Don't be clever by half. A secretary and a chief of staff are two different roles.

And unless you graduated from OAU, have a US Masters degree and Certificates from Harvard...you can then open your mouth and talk.

Funny you..."Chief of Staff and Secretary are one and the same. "

Nothing wey person no go see for nairaland.

What has you graduating from OAU or having masters abroad got to do with the conversation though. That was how GRV was bragging with some useless certificates too 😒

Ttalk:
Lair, na jealousy go kpai many of you. I don't know what your parents were doing in Lagos when you didn't find comfort in Tinubu's governance

Lol. The truth is hard to stomach right?.

Apart from Jigi Bola and MOT testing centers. What did Tinubu build in lagos.

You tell me.

I remember his tenure well for excuses for owing teacher salaries and sign boards advising that roads cannot be repaired because they belonged to the federal government.

Anything else?

otipoju:
Then what is your problem. ..if we both agree that there was an existing public transport system and Tinubu invented nothing and only renamed an existing service like he always does.

You are asking me for pictures of the early and late 90's when camera phones started in Nigeria existing only in the late 2000's .

You are trying to be smart by half. Anyone that read your previous post would think Lagos had excellent transport system prior to the governors enugurangers listed. Perhaps, you think you are talking to kids here ba.

As someone ancestrally from Lagos West, did all my schooling in Lagos, Tinubu comes 2nd only after Fashola. In addition, Fashola built on the foundation of Tinubu, if Tinubu had more than 8 years, he would have done something similar.

Don't mind him, Tinubu enacted reforms and redesigned Lagos, most of the functioning agencies you have today in Lagos was created by Tinubu, he created additional 37 local government, the transportation remodelling system that birthed light rail were his brainchild, my professor was among the genius who redesigned and shaped the idea, we even did a project on it as a management student.

Tell me about it. The former GM of LAMATA, Gbenga Dairo, was my boss at an engineering consultancy in the UK.
Even the MD at some point, i cant remember his name was headhunted by TinubU from department for transport, UK.

Enugurangers:
Post pictures. No need to shalaye. I also rode on them. I remember the Bangladeshi looking trains and the rickety red LMTS buses.
Now post pictures of Buses from Rasaki, Oyinlola and Marwa's era. Marwa's era was close enough. That is my simple ask.

Lagos would have wiped off by epidemics if Tinubu had not introduced LAWMA, Marwa was not able to solve the waste, transportation challenges and criminals that have taken over Lagos, but Tinubu came and transformed it like magic

givedemwotowoto:
Your entire argument is based on "Show me one politician that Peter Obi mentored"?

Do you hear people in the US and UK asking "Which politician did this leader mentor to succeed them"?

No because democracy is not monarchy where people groom heirs to inherit power. People choose to pursue public office, and voters decide who leads them. That's how democracy was designed to work.

All across the world, people have mentors and theye ibu turn have mentee in business, politics, musics, sports. Stop talking as if you are product of miracle centre

My wife graduated from OAU and I attended one of the best secondly school in Lagos.

You were probably a product of 2 hour certificates from Harvard, a real Harvard products will not come and flaunt that on SM, it only show how desperately you crave for approval by flaunting a fake certificate when your articulation, indepth knowledge, calmness should have projected your worth

Look at what is coming out from a Harvard adventurer, I wonder why will somebody expect Tinubu to ',invent' transportation.

You or whoever wrote the post wrote like Tinubu came up.witb some brilliant idea.

The fact is no. He simply renamed an existing service.

Same thing he did with Operation Sweep that he renamed to Rapid Response Squad.

You can scream Tinubu is the best of the best to small children and Nigerians who did not witness his government first hand.

Tinubu recognized and organized the Agbero collector system.

Tinubu, gave free eye test and eye glasses.

Tinubu brought MOT centers as money making ventures to his cronies.

But Tinubu's major achievement was the sign boards on Lagos roads saying " this road belongs to the federal government "

That is Tinubu's Lagos legacy and no amount of revisionism will change it.

I will choose Tinubu a million times over Buhari...but stop hyping him as if he is one never seen before genius.

We wish him well. If he can improve on the security situation, he would have done great. I have a feeling that once he secures his second term, he will go full throttle against all terrorists and their sympathizers and sponsors.

I didn't realized on time that I was debating a jester, you can have your day.

But next time don't use the word 'invention' when the right word should have been 'innovation'

The 'Tinubu transformed Lagos' narrative is a lie that has long been debunked.

It was simply propaganda peddled to railroad Tinubu to the presidency...nothing more

It's obvious you are spewing this out of hate and tribal bîgótry... nothing more

My vote is for sowore in this coming election.
Obi Tinubu Atiku are all zero.

This is funny, yet it was Obidients that were bursted for collecting 3k to support obi. Obidients are kings of projection

I am not Obedient and I am not a fan of Obi

This is the man that made lagos what it is today

You people and throwing lies. It was LCDA he created and not new local governments as you can't create new LG. That is the purview of the FG. Other states in the SW also did the same.

And no he didn't birth any rail system. The rail system has been done,paid for by lateef jakande who till today is still the best Govornor of Lagos state before Buhari came and cancelled it. Fashola only dusted it and continued from where Jakande stopped

Tinubu didn't do shit about the Lagos rail system. It was fashola and that was why fashola was used as poster boy for the then AC in 2011 elections in the SW.

Man was so good he was used as poster boy because the difference was there for everybody to see.

P.S Tinubu didn't even want to give fashola a return ticket before elders prevailed on him not to and fashola himself was threatening to decamp

But some of you born yesterday.some of you who just started reading the news in the era of Social Media do not even know how things were before now

Tinubu's administration was only for agberos,thugs and the likes and nothing else. He didn't do anything spectacular apart from what other SW states did. Other SW states that didn't get 1/3 of the money Lagos had so what the hell are you saying?

Okay Fashola built Lagos. Happy?

Once the true Story of Lagos under the faaake certttifficcate ocean tamer is exposed, the thread becomes empty with lots of bans

The faaakkee certttiffficcate hollldderr never achieved anything meaningful in Lagos except flooding everywhere with Agberos.

Look how the State was looking under the Narcotics fraudster and you expect the whole country not to look worse after the faaake guru str*tegist grabbed and snatched what he can't handle

Tinubu built Lagos with dirt

givedemwotowoto:
According to the X user, he lived in Lagos during Tinubu's time as governor between 1999 and 2007, and also during Fashola's time as governor.

In the video, he compares a rowdy and unkempt Oshodi under Tinubu, to an organized Oshodi just 1 year after Fashola took over as Governor.

So many of us who lived in Lagos when Tinubu was the State governor have first-hand witness of his reign.
Glad video evidence is surreptitiously coming out. pic.twitter.com/xL5zsg0pup

small wonder - the man never set foot beyond oshodi.

he should have come to vi which was a complete mess.

all those roads we now take for granted in VI - ozumba mbadiwe, mmway, it was on tinubus watch they were rehabilitated

i was working out of VI in 2002 and the roads were so bad that it would take 2 hours to get out of VI.

the man also does not understand that lagos is the only state in nigeria hat is a continnum - where governors actually complete initiatives that other developed rather than abandon them

as an example, the lagos badagry expressway rehabilitation could not proceed until after obj as obj refused to allow lasg to do any work on federal roads

givedemwotowoto:
Some people initially kept mute while these lies were being peddled by Tinubu supporters, but they can't hold back any longer

Rubbish trash. First, no one person built Lagos, but Tinubu is a major contributor.

You guys are very shallow and not very smart.

Tinubu started many of the projects that his predecessor continued on later.
More importantly, Tinubu made sure that people of capabilties where elected into office.
Tinubu supported and promoted Fashola into office; he did the same with Ambode, same with Sanwo-Olu.

Great leadership is not about just building roads and gutters; great leadership is the ability to see capacity in others and promote such people to top positions because they will be able to see where your vision is, and you know that they are smart enough.

He saw that in Fashola, Ambode, and others.

Your Agulu packeahed frud cannot even point to one single person from his cabinet that can be compared to those that Tinubu promoted.
None of Obi's past cabinet members are even out here supporting him....Where are they?

Better to stay in Tinubu's Lagos than Obi's Anambra.
