Politics › Re: Alleged Endorsement: Obasanjo Warns Tinubu’s Supporters by Reference(m): 10:03pm On Aug 20, 2022
etrouble:
Same Propagandists that humiliated you in 2015 and 2019. There is nothing in Gbajabiamila's statements that says that Obasanjo endorses Emilokan Tinubu. Gbajabiamila's are just general statements of what any elder statement will do if visited by a politician.

Meanwhile, Tinubu's boys have defeated Obasanjo's plus Afenifere boys in all election that they squared up against each other from 1999 to date. So, Tinubu does not need Obasanjo's endorsement. Even in Obasanjo's polling booth, Tinubu's boys have defeated Obasanjo and his boys repeatedly.

Anyway,

If you want Nigeria to be like Adamawa, then vote for Atikulation who ran away from his state to live in Dubai, so that he can sell NNPC as he promised and change his nationality to UAE

If you want Nigeria to be like Anambra, then vote for Peter Obituary who ran away from the state he governed to live in Lagos and Pandora.

If you want Nigeria to be like Lagos, then vote for Emilokan Tinubu the City Boy who lives in the city he re-created
Ha.
If Nigeria becomes like Lagos then I will relocate from Nigeria the way I relocated from Lagos.
Sorry, I can't live like that.
Please show us a vision that is way, way, way better than what Lagos is.... haba.

Indeed Mr. Obi has been given a herculean task by his supporters who are fast assuming notoriety for crass and crude discourse on social and electronic media in trying to outdo the APC media class of 2014/15.

One will have assumed a mirroring of their candidate who is known for intellectual discourse presented with great decorum. They indeed threaten those on the fence.

Demeaning to womanhood? How so? How did her body become representative of all of womanhood abeg? undecided
Because it appears there is a 'flower' gene in women that pushes a desire from within to flaunt it all, a desire tradition and religion constantly chases to contain.
The question men often ask and cannot understand is.
What is it about women and an inherent desire to 'flower'.
And why he says womanhood is that for some strange reason men find it extremely hard to 'flower' the parts the Holy Books term as 'dishonorable'.

What are you implying.
Because of autopilot bot pilots are permitted to doze off.
What about flight emergencies.
They were rightfully suspended because they are at liberty to report fatigue and stress to the company, the union and finally the civil aviation authority if they are being overworked.
What if the autopilot disengagement warning alarm was faulty?....MH370 all over again.

Kagd10:
That's why we need to ensure our country gets better.. Saudi Arabia don't even accommodate strangers even if they're Muslims. As long as you're not Arabs. Worse is if you're black. In fact, they hate Blacks the most.

Only Dubai tries to accommodate the Rich Black foreigners but now, they're driving them out too.


That's why we need to develop our country. That's why we need Tinubu, the most progressive competent liberal leader among the candidates need to be voted.

Tinubu's legacies as a Lagos governor include..

1. Creation of Agencies (which employed & still employs thousands of employees):
LSDPC, Public Works, LASTMA, LAMATA, LIRS, much more... Other agencies were then created by then Gov Fashola e.g LASRRA, etc.

2. Building of Public facilities: Standard Millennium Schools, Markets across the state, LASU projects and LASU Teaching Hospital, Other Major Hospitals/General Hospitals includes:

a. Ifako-Ijaye Hospital
b. Alimosho Hospital
c. Somolu Hospital
d. Mushin Hospital
e. Ibeju-Lekki hospital etc and several health care centres.

3. Massive Housing Estates across Lagos.

4. Development of Lekki Ajah axis and others.

5. Conceived the BRT project and constructed the dedicated BRT lane from Island to Mainland. BRT operation started fully under Fashola.

6. Massive Infrastructural development: Construction of Road networks all across Lagos. He invited President Obasanjo to Lagos to commission roads in Surulere, Yaba and other parts of Lagos.

7. Providing IPP to Lagos State Institutions, from General Hospital Lagos Island to Secretariat Alausa

8. Focus on IGR by making several economic policies which led to enormous increase in Lagos revenue today. Ensured Lagos thrived despite Obasanjo seizing Lagos allocation for years.

9. Development of Lagos State Public Service & Secretariat Alausa encompassing many MDAs. Employment of Technocrats to head MDAs. 

10. Another big achievement was the conception and starting of Lekki seaport, Eko Atlantic, Lekki Free trade zone and other multi billion dollar projects on the Island.

11. In addition, Tinubu also brought in the First telecom into Nigeria.

Above all, ABAT brought in technocrats into the State Public sector as Commissioners, Heads of MDAs, which has continued till now. He recruited across tribes..

In summary, ABAT is the architect behind the modern Lagos.

Let each candidates list their legacies in relative to how they would improve the country or shut up their noisemaking. Simple as ABC. We're not gonna ride on blind faith like before. Let us improve the country. Tinubu is the only one who can.. The only progressive competent liberal Leader among all the candidates.

Cc: pineed.
As party leader of the government in power why are these lofty ideals not in present day Nigeria today.
Tell me.

Na so.
But ask the spokesman who he will vote for and his eyes immediately lights up as his cognitive reasoning takes flight by the spirit of sentiment at work in him.
Days later the hardship erodes that spirit and he regains his senses again.... and the sad cycle repeats.
I have no pity for Nigerians.

They are just telling us that in Nigeria, criminality pays. Its things like this that made buhari and the north support terrorism by bandits. The govt isnt paing tompolo to protect pipelines. They are paying him not to steal the oil. Its like paying a thief not to steal from you which is as good as him stealing from you
Criminality will always pay in a weak country that dwells on injustice.
Why this government cannot follow the blueprint of developed nations where mineral resources are located remains a mystery.

Politics › Re: I’ll Lead Nigeria Out Of Darkness’ — Atiku Speaks On Plans For Power Sector by Reference(m): 4:14am On Aug 19, 2022
Same thing we had been saying for years since privatisation and even before. Shows that Nigeria has the potential to think and act smart but something, somewhere in us loves the long route of suffering through the Egyptian wilderness before the eureka moment.

I am confident that the owners of Nigeria that earnestly desire to have the nation passed on from under one military jackboot to a civilian iron fist are having to let loose their feudal grip to prevent them losing all.

It is clear in security, economy, infrastructure, and the entire gamut of the existence of a nation called Nigeria that WITHOUT RESTRUCTURING NIGERIA IS DOOMED TO COLLAPSE.

Who doubts that today. We simply cannot carry on as we do today and expect to survive a few more years.

Out able Vice President the nce said structure did not matter but resources did. But we have put billions of dollars into power and gained just about 1,500 in the last decade, why?... structure.

Because Nigeria is a basket not a bucket. Pour the ocean into a basket and gain nothing. Put a teaspoon into a bucket and it abides, simple. There are far too many holes in our Constitution, far too many gaps between every single citizen of this country for values to stick, we are in cohesive as a nation that nothing works. Start there.

A number of folks here are very thin on cognitive reasoning in responding to the post.
The author does not in any way infer to women deliberately wearing makeup to bed in this instance.
What he is warning against are situations where women retire to bed with makeup on after a day's activities as one will find typical with working women under stressful conditions.

Its still deregulated diesel that would power the generator to charge it or increased electricity tariff to power the charge station..... there is no running from bills, its eternal.. moreover just a battery change of $20,000/200,000miles (N14.2m) is no joke..
Not correct.
Actual estimates is double that, and at 400,000 miles the other components of the car are practically dead.
And at 200,000 miles most ICE engines will be due for an overhaul anyway.

There is no efficiency in the world that will degrade a battery and electric motor faster than an internal combustion engine with a lot more moving parts, even those with the latest start/stop tech. Combustion is simply a degradative action by nature.

KosiGee:
I think they will do well. My biggest fear during the group stage was the French girls. The Nigerian girls have worked very hard but I think luck has been on their side as well. The first match could’ve gone either way same as the second match against South Korea.

The goal from tue French was disallowed, some other referee might’ve allowed it, several incursions into the Falconet’s goal area…against Korea, they struck the upright etc.

No doubt about the tenacity of the falconets, after the first goal early this morning, they showed grit, lots of energy chasing every ball. Poor shooting was their problem. Okpe would’ve scored a couple if she got her acts right.
They scored from the penalty spot twice in the first half by same girl that scored a stunner against Korea.

The Nigeria coach was shouting instructions from the sideline throughout the duration of the match. It was very awkward, I think he need to let the girls play. It almost felt like they were being remote controlled from the sideline….15mins to go and his cracked voice was still being heard. I think the girls were scared or inhibited sometimes especially when someone needed to take on the Canadian girls around the 18yard box. The coach was shouting and you’d see that the girls didn’t felt restrained to use their initiatives.

They played well. It’s been a while I saw Nigerian female players running, chasing opponents and tackling the way they did today. I commend them for the way they dispossessed the Canadians without committing many fouls.

Their captain and centre back reminds me of Wendie Renard of France. She’s shorter than Renard but plays with the same intelligence, bravery, calmness.
It was a VAR call not that of the referee alone.
Every goal scored is reviewed by VAR as per the new laws of the game.
There can no longer be any mistake about a goal scored or not in top flight soccer matches.

The struggling man on the street is the one suffering for this kind of strike, if the union is serious let them switch off only the Government house or office lights.... Now most of the government officials don't feel anything cuz have generator or inverter in their house.
Because the ordinary man on the streets will not do what is right in electing leaders that are accountable.
So everyone suffers, especially the ordinary man.
May the strike continue and may the suffering continue so we all learn the hard way that elections do have serious consequences.
Let us continue to romance sentiment.

That is the kinda stupid laws that's created when half of the state assembly is your friend and family members, and the lawma psp operators are party and ward leaders.
But your power lies in your vote.
When you waste that on sentiment you prepare yourself to bear the consequences.
The moment you vote you exchange your franchise for service, you buy rubbish, you see rubbish.

In other climes even the cost of bread determines whether a government continues or is voted out.
Here we think elections have no consequences.

And to think that is exactly what is going to happen in the wider Nigeria if the APC is elected, cost of living will escalate because the principal's economic ideology is leftist, one of tax and spend, big government and plenty contractors.
