Bro help me tell all this foolish people make them hear for back in Alaigbo

As an igbo man, I am ashamed of their covetousness.. How can someone without good governance back home be telling people who have run the best state in Nigeria how to do it, instead of even borrowing from them to run southeast.. Infact I think Tinubu should borrow us technocrats to govern east and if u don't see difference in 8years with this mediocre we have had since 1999. Woo I tire for my people oo

asanausana91:
what is 60% of 24 million? Sometimes I wonder how you guys reason.
You should be ashamed of claiming elected president with only 8 million votes. No president has ever won with only 8 million even in Ghana.

Was it 24 million you put in the statement where I quoted you? You claimed there 220 million Nigerians to do ur bidding and I reminded ur non functional head u don't have 220 million people to do ur bidding.. Tinubu already has by demography of the votes 60% of the population which is North and south west so you can keep quoting nonsense and shifting goalpost.. I have already achieved my purpose of quoting you. To correct your retarded brain and bring you to the reality that Southwest and North overwhelming voted BAT and will stand up to you if you try to override the choice of majority.. Shalom

CodeTemplar:
You prove your assertions and I prove mine.

I made no assertion on GRV.. Stop running and shifting goalpost.. You just accused Sanwo olu of fraud now, where did u see me accuse GRV of such? Again u can place it here for all to see.. Prove the accusations or else hold ur peace. Sometimes it easy to perceive political jobbers because they keep evading substance and shifting the crux of an argument.

God-fatherism is a political term that refers to a system in which an influential person, known as a godfather, wields significant control over the political decisions of a region or state. In Nigeria, one of the most prominent examples of god-fatherism is the case of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, a former Governor of Lagos State, the leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the President elect.

Background
Tinubu became the Governor of Lagos State in 1999, shortly after Nigeria returned to democracy following years of military rule. He served two terms as Governor, during which he made significant strides in infrastructure development, urban renewal, and economic growth. However, towards the end of his second term, Tinubu began to consolidate his power in Lagos by creating a network of loyalists who owed their political careers to him.

Over the years, this network has grown in size and influence, and Tinubu has become the de facto godfather of Lagos politics. His control over the state has been so absolute that he has been able to determine who becomes the Governor of Lagos since he left office in 2007

The Effects of God-fatherism on Lagos

While Tinubu's god-fatherism has helped him maintain political dominance in Lagos, it has had dire consequences for the state's development and welfare.

Here are a few ways in which Tinubu's god-fatherism has been destroying and milking Lagos:

1. Underdevelopment of the state
One of the most significant ways in which Tinubu's god-fatherism has been destroying Lagos is through the underdevelopment of the state. Because Tinubu's loyalists owe their political careers to him, they are more concerned with maintaining his grip on power than with the development of the state. As a result, many critical infrastructure projects have been neglected, leading to poor road networks, inadequate health care, and substandard public schools.

2. Corruption
Tinubu's god-fatherism has also led to widespread corruption in Lagos. Because his loyalists control most of the state's resources, they have been able to siphon off funds meant for development projects and enrich themselves. This has led to a situation where Lagos, one of the wealthiest states in Nigeria, has some of the highest levels of poverty in the country.

3. Lack of Accountability
Another way in which Tinubu's god-fatherism has been destroying Lagos is through the lack of accountability of public officials. Because Tinubu's loyalists control the state's political machinery, they are rarely held accountable for their actions. This has led to a culture of impunity, where public officials are free to engage in corrupt practices without fear of consequences.

4. Politicization of Government Agencies
Tinubu's god-fatherism has also led to the politicization of government agencies in Lagos. Many of the state's agencies and parastatals are staffed by loyalists of Tinubu, who use their positions to enrich themselves and further the interests of their godfather. This has led to a situation where the state's resources are diverted to the benefit of a few individuals, rather than the wider public.

The god-fatherism of Tinubu is destroying and milking Lagos. His control over the state has led to the underdevelopment of critical infrastructure, widespread corruption, lack of accountability, and the politicization of government agencies. If Lagos is to fulfill its potential as a world-class city, then it must break free from the grip of Tinubu's god-fatherism and adopt a more inclusive, transparent, and accountable system.

We have seen how ur people advised Edo to get free from Godfatherism.. Today Edo is regretting. Now they want to be like lagos.. They people who can't put a reasonable Government in southeast is telling lagos where they run to for survival how to put lagos in order. Since you know why don't u apply all u know on development to the southeast and stop receiving insults from North and southwest.. Now I know why Benin people chased ndigbo from benin empire, they might have wanted to take oba from benins nd they had zo send back.. Make ndigbo go develop southeast and let yorubas take care of Lagos.. Stop being covetous.. It doesn't end well

asanausana91:
see fool. So 8 million is 60% of 220 million.
Go and check 24 million voted for this election and on only 8 million votes for Tinubu. Let me tell you if Atiku and Peter Obi give go ahead today, I swear ......

I knew obidients cannot reason so was into 220 million that voted? Obidients are common sense are jus 2 parallines.. Go school una no gree..

The moment obi joins atiku he will lose the numbers he gathered in some southwest and Christian votes Abi ur brain no dey there? Obi urchins make una go rest..

CodeTemplar:
My problem with sanwo-olu is that he is an agent of institutionalized corruption. He and his cliques award inflated projects to cronies and fronts. Not just that but also force the people to pay the inflated cost of those projects at a crazy interest rate over decades.
If you don't see anything wrong in not doing five times as much he is currently doing when the funds are in fact available but were skillfully looted via inflated contracts and projects, then you are an hypocrite.

At the bolded is nothing but hear say, propaganda and false allegations from the stable of political wilderness.. I ask you here and now show me the evidences to this here and now, everyone is watching and I will hold my peace or else.. You are tge hypocrite with ulterior motive for lagos state..

Ofunaofu:
The election was flawed. What we all witness on the 25th of February, 2023 was an electoral heist

How can one describe the regrets, gnashing of teeth, forlorn faces that greeted the announcement of the winner of that election. The over 8 million people that was alleged to have voted for the winner were not seen anywhere celebrating.


INEC violated the electoral law and its guidelines

The beneficiary of that flawed process knows that he is with a stolen mandate

Because ur candidate lost, but where he won same persons did not carry out the heißt Abi?

manutdrichie:
The only body language that is preventing us from setting the country on fire

Go and set ur fathers house on fire not Nigeria.. Na only u vote? My friend u lost, don't think na only u get madness when others start now u begin to claim victim..

BombAttack:
Compare the military strength to 220,000,000 Nigerians

Even Tinubu will run to Cameroon

Inside that 220,000 the North and south west that voted Tinubu is about 60% of the population.. Dey play just dey play

Emmastan291:
Anything to keep away APC from that seat is a welcome development...Only if the story is genuine.

Labour party and PDP seems to understand each other

Exactly.. When we told u if Labour wins Nigeria won't be any different, you people were salivating.. Obi and atiku is 1 and same.. Nigeria dodge bullet with Labour ooo

Stevebuffet:
Have you listened to GRV discuss the plans for Lagos that he has? They are very doable, smart, and simple. Everything starts with a good plan. Try to hear him out without preconceptions so that you may decide for yourself. One thing I've seen about leaders is that they fade away after their first term, as Sanwolu demonstrated by skipping all of the discussions. A chance to share your scorecard with your supporters and your plans for the following term, but he believed he had already achieved kingship. Every time, our leaders need to be held responsible. We frequently praise the western world's virtues, but this is not because its leaders are free from corruption or that their citizen consistently hold them accountable.


Sanwolu is not perfect, not to mention his flaws. What unique endeavor has Sanwolu begun and finished in his four years?

What has he done to improve the awful traffic situation? What has he done to combat the Omo-Nile and Agbero threat? What is he doing regarding the Lekki-Epe Expressway? Or is it because of the Ikorodu and Alimosho neglect or the state of some of the public schools?

Name one significant project that Sanwolu began and finished in four years?

Sanwolu has only ever engaged in tokenism; as evidence, consider the Blue-rail project, which was inaugurated despite the fact that it is now not in use.

Oga sanwo olu must not start projects.. It is only a foolish government that considers what he built in his tenure.. Sanwo can go about doing hospital and school etc like other governor in Nigeria but economical for the state and Nigeria he is working on long term plans with more economical benefits... The rail for example can generate in 4 years amount to build those hospitals and others. It is not about plan go and meet Ikpeazu he will bring out a wonderful plan for you..

Have you been in nigeria or you just came back? No matter what he discusses.. Have you not heard politicians discuss their plans? At the end of the day what ever he says is not substance.. It is still only a probability.. Sanwo olu is working already. It is a fact.. That is the difference.. U don't close ur successful business only on a promise of I will give a better one which I am. About to start..

As leaders fade after their 1st term is a better probability than a politician ever implementing his good plan in 1st term, so either one way in risk assessment sanwo olu is the safer bet anyway you look at it. Am sure u r an obidient who believes in obi. I am also sure if inec declared him winner and his works 1st term u will not be advocating for him to leave after 4 years let try another with good plan

stanluiz:
You are mistaken.

Peter obi is not like that.

I hope u are igbo and understand when I you hear the saying" A woman can only vouche for the child in her womb but not the one she is carrying at her back".. I leave this here for posterity sake..

Dreal1247:
He is now feeling the heat. Power has finally returned to the people. Fortunately, Obi is the man of the people. The rest is story. Mr millipede only folded up the body, but the person who stepped on it is jumping up and down in protest.

Una no dey learn... Same thing u did with MNK. Always elevating men to God status.. Anambra will regret the Godfatherism they are about to enthrone

Stevebuffet:
You’re right about Obaseki, he doesn’t know how to speak Bini, but nobody dared used that to campaign against it in Benin. How does speaking one’s language translate to good governance??

These guys are just looking for trivial issues to demarket GRV. If you’ve done well as a Governor, you show your scorecard, instead of these campaign of calumny.

In this case GRV is based on he "Will" perform note the word "will" means assumption we are nto even sure he will deliver because it is in the realms of wishful thinking...
Sanwo olu "is " performing not the keyword "is" a guarantee, a present continuos tense. So you see the topic of tribalism here arise because igbo sacrifice compentecy and feel yorubas are fools and try to pretend about it.. The only reason GRV is preferred to sanwo olu is because he has an igbo mother and sanwo olu does not , that is tribalism and yet you people are accusing yorubas of playing tribal politics... Out people are the most tribalist set of people in Nigeria and the problem is we refuse to look ourselves in the mirror and do sober reflection.. How can you sacrifice a working governor for trial and error and expect to convince a sane human that is not because of tribalism? I want to ask you if you have a business that you built in 4 years and it now successfully and you getting daily profits, I I come to you and tell you to close that business down and come state a new one on the premise of it will be successful even though I haven't done the business before, will you agree to close your existing business?
If you hypocritical answer yes then we all this insult our people receive daily why not close down their business in lagos and go elsewhere to start new with the hope it will succeed afterall the believe in let's try another business like the believe in jettison a working governor for another person in a trial and error method..

First the need has been created by the presence of a demonic, hateful ,satanic and spiteful political entity APC, the second is the galvanization of opinions which presently ongoing, third is the creation of awareness and the last is the mobilization of resources.

Oga it take 2 to tango so... If u don't understand that, u no kno where the rain began to flog u..

Massiveglory:
LP is a movement. All these wike boys should understand that we are not the normal political party nonsense they are used to.

Yes, you are just like Hitler party. A party where obi say is ye and amen,. A party tge presidential candidate dare not be questioned. He is a Saint, stainless and without guilty.. Only him has solutions no other human being.. Una be zombies party.. Hoooha

ubest1:
Am from SS but Nigeria need SE than SE need Nigeria, those guys from east are too economy powerful for any govt to ignore

Yes u are from the South South of Aba. We already know

MrSegunAdewole:
only useless dirty Tinubu urchins are fanning hatred among igbos and Yorubas

God punish every Tinubu supporter

Oga stop saying nonsense... Why will a competent and working governor be despised and rejected by most of our people if the criteria was competency? Sanwo olu can point to things he "Has DONE" but you are saying we should leave and choose GRV's I "WILL" do.. Probability,. Mirarage why if not because GRV has an igbo background, if that is not the height of Tribalism, I don't know what is then..

I've never received money but I have sent funds to people before, all that happens is they receive text notification that their account has been credited ( I receive the same notification too that the funds have been transferred successfully.

My wife doesn't pay money to receive money from abroad.. If i send naira it goes direct into her bank accounts.. If I send dollar or euro, infact the bank pays her 500 naira for every 100 dollar I send. The bank pays you instead for receiving money ...
Run oooo Run oOoOO before you start feeling like perhaps and nevertheless..

Wow.

I can't believe it..

The issue of State governance is very delicate only in "igboland", I guess.

But you see Lagos ehn in Yoruba land, it's not delicate at all. Anyone who have not led an ordinary classroom before, can lead it.

Most of you guys supporting Lp in Lagos are Closet bigots and you know what you are supporting but you pretend as if you want a better future for Lagos.

You see am ba? You are wise baba..

colorsofrainbow:
OBIdients are not oh yes members like your rubber stamp politicians in APC. If u do anyhow for LP,u see anyhow no matter how high handed u are.

Again u lie... Let obi say vote sdp now and let's see if u won't.. Oga na una be the greatest zombie, from kanu to ekpa to Obi.. Tufiakwa

ojmetrix:
For LP to dominate, they need merge with a strong party to conquer Nigeria. Imagine PDP and LP votes combined in presidential election..

They don the change mouth.. Imagine u and thief working together.. After abusing and telling us how bad they are.. You and thieves now want to work together.. I told foolish Nigerians who fell for it.. Obidients was never about Nigeria or good governance rather a clandestine dominination strategy surreptitiously planned.
I will prove it to you..

Presidential election obidients: Tinubu did nothing in lagos, if it was Osibanjo we will vote him, it was Sanwo Olu, Ambode and Fashola that did the work in. Lagos... OK so Sanwo olu worked right and obidients believed it presidential election..
Governorship :Vote out sanwo olu.. Vote gbadebo vivour Rhodes..
Where do u vote out competence for trial and error? Gbadebo is he will.. Make vote am
Sanwo olu is he is doing and has done.. But obidients say vote him out.. And they will tell u they don't have ulterior motive.. Only a fool will fall.. As sharp igbo Gee, I have told una tge koko, if u like make una disgrace una ancestors... Gbadebo should show us what he has achieved in his present field or contest for state first make we see...

BossGerald:
Oh, so you decided to become an igbo man today?? Interesting!

Make sure you return back to your ekiti village when you're done deceiving yourself

Your stupidity is what you are displaying.. If e pain u go hang yourself, if like write ekiti full I thread on Nairaland it won't change me from being igbo and won't stop me from feeding you bitterleaf truth soup by force..

BossGerald:
Okpo, you think everybody live in lagos?? To your likes Nigeria started and ended in lagos, that's why you abandoned your ekiti village and never returned.

You re not and can never be a lagosian, go back to your ekiti village

OLODO wey no go school. I have told you, I am not from Lagos neither I am from. Ekiti. I am your horror.. An igboman who will tell force the bitter truth down your throat make you no dey zuzu.. U ran to lagos to sell gala and talking about Nigeria, same Nigeria that was a zoo to u 6months ago..

Jorussia:
Joke aside tinubu na solid man o.I pray he doesn't disappoint Nigerians as buhari did.He has the advantage of people having low expectations of him.

Go and look at the video he told Buhari to work on loans for youth.. With elumelu.. Baba has taken it upon himself to implement his ideas.. This visit is for ideas which are going for implementation from 29th May na him u r seeing so..
Tinubu go surprise 9ja pple..

BossGerald:
Comfortable with touts and owomida urchins, even ogbomoso man like you that came to lagos yesterday is claiming host

Do they not pay tax, shop rent, local government levies etc in lagos?? Are they living there for free.

Free your mind from hatred and bitterness

Same people pursued you from your own state so look at the positive of living in their society, which you couldn't get back home..

Which youth youth kill una there


They are fighting for their stomach alone, even urchins here can't boast of benefitting from this pre elect, watch and see how they will flop this nairaland year in year out, why cos they have nothing tangible to do with their lives slaves

Stop being amalicious human being. Allow the man to carry out his ideas. Obi himself killed youth of igbo stock, those ones lives don't matter? Typical ipob only when it favors you it should be considered when it other everyone can go to hell.

AdaojoTheUrchin:
In one week, Sanwoolu has;

- Visited more churches, computer village, Balogun market than he has done in 4years.
- Ordered all LASTMA operatives to cease arrests and stand down.
- Released all impounded vehicles awaiting auction
- Release unpaid Pensions and Gratuity
-Opened Apongbon bridge
- Unban Okada Ban
-Pay pension and gratuity, and increase Govt staff salaries..

If you give him your one vote after showing you shege for 4 years, heaven will judge you and you will not stop suffering because you don't even need a prophet to tell you that he will show you shege in the next 4 years..

Vote Labour, don't waste your vote.. Sanwo won't be contesting like an idiot like this if labour party legitimately led by only 10k votes.. they know the real figure.

Which shege. He is the most active and competent governor in Nigeria by achievement.. If obidients can praise obi abysmal 8 years sanwo olu deserves a second term.. Point to 1 project he commissioned that obi can point to?
