Come set, What is this your obsession with Yorubaland and it's leadership? You never criticize your igbo governors and their abysmal performance. Or you think we don't know you are igbo/Anambrarian?
Please feel free to be obsessed with what I am not obsessed with.
The more, the merrier.
Cheers.

Which party has the majority in the NASS?
Could it be APChuh
Which party is the president from?
Who is the national leader of this party?
Are you saying that Buhari and Tinubu can’t get their majority in the NASS, which includes Tinubu’s wife and son-in-law to do their bidding?
I thought that Buhari is fighting corruption since 2015, so where are you seeing greased palms?
Is that what senator Remi Tinubu has been collecting?
You no dey shame/tirehuh Leave Lagos and go face your Anambra!! You can whine from today till tomorrow but that won't stop Lagosians from reelecting Ambode.

Today, Seven bills were signed into law by Governor Ambode of Lagos State and the most significant of which is the Electricity Power Sector Reform Law which gives legal backing to the Embedded Power Programme.

According to the governor, this will help us achieve our electricity generation plan to provide 24-7 uninterrupted electricity supply to Lagosians.

Other bills signed into law today are the Amended Land Use Charge Bill, the School of Nursing Bill, the Cooperative College Bill, the Cancer Research Institute Bill, the Amended Customary Court Bill and the Yoruba Language Preservation bill

Nonsense. Have you used solar cells before? They are expensive and cannot replace grid supply. Not to mention that you can only use certain type of loads safely without damaging your Inverter.

Coal is a heavy pollutant. They say they have technology to reduce coal emissions but we are still waiting.
Yes, they are all bad. Now, provide your solution or keep quite.

If majority Lagosians are stupid enough to re-elect their looter, that is their own toro (3 pence).
We will be here to remind them when they are gnashing their teeth like the dumbos who voted the monumental error of gargantuan proportions in Aso Rock.

three:
Predictably so

1. Why is Lagos State Owing so much? N40B much!
https://www.dailytrust.com.ng/news/general/lekki-toll-plaza-lagos-to-recoup-n40bn-debt-in-23-years/75652.html



2. Debt owed when money has been drawn down. If the toll was used in part to fund the construction of the Road WHILE THE ROAD WAS BEING CONSTRUCTED, what was the money drawn down used for?
The contract sum was N54.5B for 49km of road. Lagos is owing N40B when only 19km out of 49km has been constructed in spite of ongoing toll collection since completion of first 2.5km section (Falomo to Admiralty Circle).



3. Why and How did Lagos State Determine that expanding the pre-2010 road by only two lanes would be better than providing a robust 10 lane expressway like the Abuja Airport Road espescially given the potential volume of traffic in the Lekki area?



4. How come the 10-lane Abuja Airport road (including pedestrian and road bridges) constructed by no less than Julius Berger cost lower (comparatively with increased work) than the 2 lane expansion on the Lekki Epe Road.
(N108B for 26km vs N54.5B for 49km)
https://guardian.ng/news/president-pledges-to-pay-outstanding-n5b-on-road-project/
[‘’The Lot 1 of the project, which is 13 kilometres and put at a cost of N59 billion,
involved the construction of 21 bridges with concrete lined channels and precast U-Channels while the Lot 2 of 12.5 kilometres put at a cost of N49 billion,
comprises the construction of two new service roads with two lanes each as well as the rehabilitation of two existing main carriage ways and expansion from two to three lanes each making a total of 10 lanes
of both service and main carriage ways.’’]



5. Why Did Lagos State pay LCC N6B to buy back the concession which still included a hefty debt component?
https://www.vanguardngr.com/2013/08/why-we-terminated-lekki-epe-deal-with-lcc-lasg/
https://www.pmnewsnigeria.com/2013/08/28/lekki-concession-lagos-explains-rights-buy-back/
[Rather, the government said it is engaged in buying back the rights pertaining to the concession ahead of the 30-year period stipulated in the Design,
Build, Operate and Transfer (DBOT) Concession Agreement. This is to be achieved by purchasing all the shares in LCC]



6. Why Did Lagos State increase the Toll on the Road (via an organisation it now owns in totality - LCC) when increase of toll was the main reason given for buying back the concession?
[On 28 August 2013, LSG announced that it would buy back the Lekki-Epe Expressway concession rights by purchasing all LCC’s shares.
The reasons LSG cited for this were:
? assumptions underlying the Concession Agreement changed ‘drastically’, including devaluation of the Naira and increased construction costs.
? LCC intended to increase tolls at the Admiralty Circle plaza, from N120 to N144 for cars, and introduce tolling at the Conservation and Campus plazas.
This was required to cover higher interest payments, maintain availability of the road and fund completion of Sections 3 and 4.] Pg 79 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/776191468338369513/pdf/937780NWP00PUB0aper00SSATPWP1020PPP.pdf



7. Why has the alternate 6km Coastal road (which was a prerequisite for the Express Road) not been constructed to date?
https://www.afdb.org/en/projects-and-operations/project-portfolio/p-ng-db0-008/
[Description
Project consists of the following:
1Rehabilitation and widening of 1st 23km and rehabilitation of the last 26.5 km of the 49.5 km Lekki to Epe expressway in the Lekki corridor in Lagos city,
2Building of a new ramp at Falomo junction to carry right turning traffic onto the Falomo bridge
3Building of new foot bridges along the right of way to carry pedestrian traffic hence improving on road safety for pedestrians
4Building of the 1st 6km of the coastal which itself is contingent on the construction of the coastal defences by Lagos State Government
5Rehabilitation/building of 10 inter-connecting roads between the expressway and the coastal road]



8. Why did the Governor not make Public the fact that when he suspended tolling of the Road in 2009 that Lagos State STILL paid the concessionaire for loss of revenue during the period?
https://www.pmnewsnigeria.com/2010/12/30/fashola-suspends-toll-collection-on-lekki-road/
[The concession agreement provides for three toll plazas. Each was to be opened after completion of construction works on the associated road section.
Tolling was planned to commence at the Admiralty Circle toll plaza (Section 1) on 3 January 2010.
However, LSG requested that LCC delay tolling and, on 30 December 2010, LSG announced an indefinite postponement of tolling, citing residents’ concerns
and the need for an alternative route. LSG agreed to provide ‘shadow’ toll revenues to compensate LCC for the loss of revenue.
Tolling was finally introduced on 18 December 2011 and resulted in protests by residents and drivers] pg 78 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/776191468338369513/pdf/937780NWP00PUB0aper00SSATPWP1020PPP.pdf



9. If AfDB provided funds that are now being owed, where are the funds the Local financiers provided and what were these funds used for in the light of the non-completion of the remaining 23km of the road? and how come the proportion of
completed road roughly tallies with the amount of finance AfDB provided? What were the tolls used for?




10. Why is the Ikoyi Link Bridge built with Tax Payers Money being tolled when it is not a PPP?

See your life? You can't even refute me with a straight face. I will continue exposing you as the Yoruba-wannabe impostor that you are, keep exposing your hypocrisy, and giving you nightmares for as long as you continue using that misleading moniker.

States like Anambra are exporting farm products. Is it that the northern states are too weak that they need the federal government again for their own exports?

Lagos 9,013,534 is second to Kano state 9,383,682 in terms of population as per the 2006 census. Rivers state alone had 5,185,400 with Anambra 4,182,032. These two alone are more than Lagos state.

As far as budget is concerned, the Rivers amount is about the same as for Lagos.

People believe in Lagos.

But just mention Tinubu you'll begin to hear all manner of insults especially from those who don't live in Lagos.

The architect of modern Lagos is Tinubu who has also found the best hands to see it become a reality.

I often say, had we had a different type of leader, Lagos would have been no better than Delta state of today.

We would not have realised it could be much better because that's all we've known.

I salute Ambode who has stamped a name of success on the map of Lagos after a Fashola who was just as competent.

Always think before u talk. If the electricity environment was not libralized at the federal level, things like this would have not been possible. Do you know since when lagos have been trying to do something like this, from the Tinubu days. have u ever heard of the Enron power project before. Even during the Fasola Era IPPS were built but they could not go beyond government own establishment because of the then existing laws.
