Below is just a summary of Asiwaju Tinubu's score sheet in office when a Nairalander who perhaps does not live in Lagos or was too young or not born then when Asiwaju Tinubu was in government.
These legacies are still standing today and it is a patriotic desire to see such an excellent public administrator run the affairs of this great nation after this current administration. Those hailing the conference of Southern Governors don't even know that Asiwaju Tinubu once rallied mobilized the southern governors to form a bloc but the group was destroyed by the same PDP especially after Asiwaju successfully got HE Ngige to cross to ACN.

If the PDP had not killed that bloc, it would have been a rallying platform to resolve the farmers-herders issues soon enough before it degenerated yet today the same southern PDP states that frustrated Asiwaju Tinubu then are ready for a southern governors bloc they rejected then. Please don't allow them to convince or confuse, a vote for Asiwaju Tinubu is a vote for excellence in public service. God bless Nigeria.

--------------------------------------------------------------

You're right to some extent but the period between Jakande and Asiwaju Tinubu were the period we suffered our worst decline. As a matter of fact, we suffered both human , political and natural adversities.

From the abandonment of Lagos by FG as soon as capital moved and we opposed the military's annulment of June 12 to the abandonment of Lagos by investors ( Lagos CBD was a ghost town) to the incessant state sponsored assassinations on the streets of Lagos to how Bar Beach destroyed and on its way to submerging the whole of VI.

Today, many of the endSars generation and the IPOB terrorists who infiltrated them won't even know that the bar beach water reaches close to where they gathered then and where they gathered was around maroko,a slum, and from that point to Epe was just a small two lane road with untarred road branches until you get to Jakande from which you trek to Eleko beach on feet because no road existed there then. No Lekki Phase this and Phase that and no round about and most of my friends who are natives of the villages there like Ogombo actually live in real village settings unlike the sprawling estates all over the place now.

How about Ikeja, it was a nightmare and it took Asiwaju Tinubu bringing order there from medical road to Oregun to Lateef Jakande roads he built and still standing till date.
Asiwaju Tinubu was the one who upgraded lasu to having a college of medicine and the brain behind the Lekki Free Trade zone, brt and train to link island to Mile 2 and co and the projects are still on due to the vision carried forward.
The biggest problem Asiwaju Tinubu helped us solve that even the military era could not solve, is the waste challenge. Waste took over Lagos even during marwa tenure and it was solved by Asiwaju Tinubu administration.

There are so many other great initiatives started by him like lastma, lasaa, etc he started and now copied by other states today. States were practically sending their senior civil service bureaucrats to have internship in Lagos then and till date. Asiwaju Tinubu, unlike Chief Ibori, didn't steal the shares of Lagos in Econet. LASACO and Eko International Bank were recapitalized and we even brought Enron to Nigeria and if not that Enron is now dead, it would have been a major player in our developing power sector now. We stood against the tyranny of Pa Obasanjo when he withheld our money and throughout that period, Lagos did not owe salaries but today, you see governors receiving full money from FG yet owing salaries!

Go and read about Ehingbeti which holds yearly in the historically important place Pa Awo was held in house arrest. Asiwaju Tinubu started it and to his credit and to the glory of God , Asiwaju Tinubu is the architect of the modern Lagos. He fought tirelessly to ensure his successor is another genius, BRF and looking back now, we could have ended up with a mediocre Obanikoro and PDP ravaging everywhere like they do in all their states.May God bless Asiwaju. God bless Lagos State. God bless Nigeria.

We will not regret anything.

If Igbos tell you you will not regret an investment, trust them.

Atiku is a moderate Muslim, he will support religious extremists.

Atiku is a business man, he will make business friendly policies. Unlike this herdsman in Aso Rock that is making cow friendly policies.

I agree we shouldn’t be considering Atiku but he, unfortunately, seems like our shortest route towards escape these marauding jihadists that have grabbed power.

Penguin2:
Until they apologize for that treachery, the north can continue to have power. In fact I will rather vote Buhari for third term than vote a Yoruba.

Two can play the game.

Oxb90:
How these 'leaders from the north' reason most times and their utterances at all times always confirms their insincerity. Why are they afraid of restructuring. You call them 'LEADERS' and they have come to tell you the desires of those they are leading yet you don't want to accept their position. When the president and the presidency are busy appointing only those from their tribe and religion' what did you and your likes say. Now that the southern leaders has been woken up from their slumber by no other person but the very intelligent MNK, you are now advising them on what to do. I know the remaining days of this month will expose more of the northerners intent and purposes for this committee of many nations called Nigeria.

Sebastine1994:
My girlfriend has a lot of shame about physical intimacy. I think she enjoys it, but she feels guilty afterward that we’re not married, like she is betraying her very conservative upbringing. I love her and we have talked about getting married. She thinks that will make physical intimacy more enjoyable for her. But I’m not sure. The idea of spending my life with someone who is unhappy after every time we are intimate makes me feel hopeless.

BabaIbo:
Stupidity at its peak.

So if a foreigner or stranger sets up a company or factory in agbara, ilupeju etc., it automatically means it's owned by you people.

BTW, of the countered ones, na only I.T you see.
You kuku ma lack sense, go to USA or Canada and see many Igbos who invented many things in I.T field, for medical uses or any other uses.

They should be interrogated to ascertain their motive for the action, were they sent by someone, or it’s purely sheer act of wickedness and theft.

This is barbaric.

Government can’t spend huge sums of money to raise infrastructure for us and you vandalize it.

How will they trust such community with any further infrastructure? This is pure offshoot of wickedness and illiteracy actually.

They should be castrated and jailed for life.

obama30:
Minus Ghana there because Ghana don't have anything that backup there economy.

Ghana economy is best on TV analysis but zero in physical.

Even Coco export to Switzerland and Belgium is taken over by China, and European excuses is because of effects from galamsay chemical, but the truth is that Chinese sell cheaper and best quality.

The 90,000 barrels of oil they get from Jubilee field can't serve them domestically, that is reason they hope on Nigeria daily supply of 90,000 barrels of crud oil through West African gas pipeline build with Nigeria government money in the name of easy transportation of crud oil from Nigeria to Benin, Togo and Ghana.

Without oil from Nigeria, electricity in Ghana will be zero. Even though Nigeria oil is back bone behind electricity generation from 11 IPPS in Ghana, Ghanaians don't have money to use the electricity, many Ghanaians never own fridge, AC, electric iron and other things that may consume light which in turn help electricity company to cover their money.

Ghana economy is worst in Africa, at beginning of the month when salary is paid you will notice businesses turn around but by 15th to 30th if the month, my brother all you will hear is this government kuraaaa.

As long Africa is concern Nigeria economy still the best, all we need is good governance or separation to enable every region manage their economy.

People mostly Nigerians think that there's something in Ghana, Ghana is one of poorest countries in West Africa, they only have good governance for Ghanaians not for you anago, Togolese or Burkinabe.

Ghana economy is best on TV, cedis will disappoint you while gathering it, you will see how it loses value while in your bank account.

Ghanaians can deceive them self but not others.

Were you born stupid or you just grew in stupidity?

Simplyleo:
See how they keep screaming my username as if though they love while hate is dished to them.

Even in their complaints, they can't still stop being what they are, they must just insult. Yet, they want you to keep clapping hands for them.

How do you wake up from morning and all you do is to keep insulting everyone else, then expect love from them? There is no single thread they don't dish out insult in numbers palting themselves for job well done

Even a goat doesn't expect to get aggressive at others then want to be praised, how?

No one is begging anyone to stop insulting, but certainly, always expect clapback.

Very funny pipu.

Somebody that is going to buy those houses and convert them to a real estate before leaving office......


You believe a Nigerian politician is this nice?

BabaIbo:
You are a big and unrepentant liar.

You're being mischievous here.
Lumbering- Wrong
Education- Totally wrong(Igbos has the highest number of professors and best results in national exams)
IT- Maybe but still debatable(The first known blogger in Nigeria is an Igbo lady)
Creative industry- Are you OK?
Manufacturing- I can see you are drunk, how industries do Yoruba people have compared to others?
Importation and sales of vehicles....e.g elizade. You surely needs a medication for saying this. The owner of coscharis and other companies that sell vehicles are from your village, right?
Innoson, Anamco etc are from Ogbomosho abi?
Entertainment- Stop smoking weed please, In acting Igbos dominate. In music it's debatable, I guess P-Square brothers, Ill Bliss, Flavour, Burna Boy(we fit dash una this one) , Tekno, Black Bones etc are from your village. Or you think we are talking about Naira Marley and Ayiiiii or chupariparichupako here, gbenu soun joor.
Oil and gas- Are you mad ni? Mention one Yoruba oil tycoon and I will mention 2 Igbo Oil tycoons for each Yoruba you mention.
Aviation- Get out joor, Air Peace and other carriers own by Igbos are bigger than any one you can think of.
Furniture and wood craft- Do you mean carpentry or furniture? In fact, you guys are lacking in any of it.

Everything you typed there are trash, I have corrected it appropriately.

In addition, Igbos dominate in Sport, Banking, Business/Entrepreneur, Pharmaceuticals and other aspect you can think of.

In diaspora, Nigerians with notable positions and recognition are mostly Igbo people.
Don't dare mentioning that little girl because she has an Igbo root.

I was born and brought up in yorubaland, even in their best schools, I mean schools where commissioner of education visits on waec/neco day, schools that are renowned for their excellent performance year in year out runs exist there on a large basis.
I know this because I was in the system.

I served in the north, it exists there but I don't want to bring north into the discussion because it doesn't involve them.

I hate it when people paint others black just to look good.

Listen a dull student is a dull student even if you provide them with runs thru will still show that dullness but it takes only a good/smart mind to utilize the runs perfectly to come top.

FreeIgbos:
Lol, you're really very very ignorant. Almost all the major airlines in Nigeria today are owned by Igbos!

Check petroleum products like AZ, Coscharis, Dozzy etc and tell me who owns them!

Even there in Lagos and Ogun, there are probably as much Igbo owned big companies as there may be Yoruba, but then here in the manufacturing cties of Aba, Onitsha and Enugu, Igbos own over 95% of the industries there!

Aside the industries Dangote, the Lebanese, Indians and Chinese built in Lagos/Ogun coupled with some MNC's, can you name up to 10 popular manufacturing companies established by yorubas?

Enterprising people are talking only for these ones that only know jaye Jaye and owambe to be making noise.

Go and knock out your poor father for not educating you properly! Miserable soul.

Psych412:
This is a very serious issue. Spending on a lady doesn't give you the right to ask her for sex. This needs to stop. Taking a girl out for a date doesn't have to be sex in return.


Please let's try to be responsible

What do you think about this my political calculation above?

The calculation is base on performance and political situation of Nigeria now.

FreeIgbos:
You're just blabbing for nothing. The trash you wrote shows you're totally disconnected and ignorant of current realities in Nigeria. You asked which sectors Igbos are ahead of Yorubas in Nigeria? Then I will list them for you!

Banking, aviation, petroleum products manufacturing, manufacturing sector, commerce etc. Igbos are ahead! You can go figure out yourself. Despite having a huge advantage when when you fraudulently took over all the foreign owned companies in Nigeria under the guise of indignization decree.

Continue decieving yourself with gossips and fallacies.

PrinceOfLagos:
The Igbos may not be educated like the Yorubas (All thanks to Obafemi Awolowo's free education) but, I can tell you that the Igbos are the most successful tribe in Nigeria .

Binomotech:
Very good, now we can expect a better management

mancoconut:
And the pig grunts! If an ordinary picture can bring out this much pain, bitterness and frustration from you, then I can't imagine how miserable your life will be in your everyday life... sucks to be product of rape, your poor slut of a mother who got gang-raped to produce an unfortunate chromosome like you with a contaminated DNA would sure wish she had aborted you

leofab:
But the case of Nigeria was different @the guy above the guy above me ... Nigerians are easily swayed by words.

SmartPolician:
South West has obviously done so well for itself, especially in education. However, one thing I know for certain is that it takes so much to build a city.

If Nigeria splits today and the government doesn't make effort to keep the non-Yoruba residents, Lagos will become a shadow of its former itself. That's because both Nigerians and foreigners built the city.

Friend22:
See,I am not into your trivalistic merry go round chest beating contest.
I don't really care who does what or dominates the other.
I have said my piece.

Friend22:
Did you follow my response with the other guy?
I was askimg him tgye same questions.
So,bros,let's be calming down o...

But,in all ,Igbo's are still the most industrious people in this country.

Masterclass32:
See them rejoicing. Reno is right this time, abi? He's not pressing 'mumu' button again. But, everytime he spoke good of SE they said he was pressing Igbo mumu button.

This our SW neighbours sef.

Friend22:
How do you define success?
Is it in terms of business or what specifically?
And mind you,Igbos are only popular with businesses not really anything that has to do with education.
So,what's your point?

goodnessme1:
So being more successful is by selling your land to your imaginary unfortunate people,just to be able to eat Ewudu.

FreeIgbos:
You're 100% right! Even Reno knows that what he is saying is just propaganda, half truths and blatant lies. Igbos are the most educated ethnic group in Nigeria till date. They also dominated every sector in Nigeria around the 1950's up until 1966, and by 1970 after the war, others usurped our positions all over Nigeria and the subsequent use of quota system and indigenization decree that allowed yorubas to take over the economy when Igbos were still down.

Igbos have succeeded in clawing themselves back to the top in many sectors. However, if they are confident, let them throw everything open to merit and competition in Nigeria and let's see which ethnic group would dominate again just like in the 1950's and 1960's.
