The same delusion about Tinubu being responsible for Lagos' prosperity. Lagos that has been propsering even when Tinubu was still a fresher in Chicago State University grin

I still demystified the 38% IGR that is always being celebrated few day ago. Like I said, one day when I get enough time we will unpack these things.
yeah obi is responsible.

It's funny how u talked about sentiments in your initial post I quoted and all you've done afterwards is posting of sentimental vibes to defend Bobo Chicago.

It's only a person already blinded by sentiment and that will agree his preferred candidate is nepotic, corrupt,sick, has a poor sense of judgement and still try to force such candidate down other's throat.

I see you've been assuming I'm not a Lagosian (Like most of u always do anytime someone questions Tinubu's credibility). Newsflash: I'm a born and bred Lagosian, never lived outside Lagos except for my service year, I work and pay my tax in Lagos. So yes, I have every right to talk about governance in my state.

One day when I'm chanced we will talk about how Lagos state government under the grip of Tinubu has fared compared to its counterparts in other parts of the world. We will look at the revenue generated vis-a-vis the development on ground to show for it.

We will talk about how Addis Ababa-Djibouti rail line of 759 km was constructed between 2011-2017(6 years ) and how Lagos light rail project of 27km has been on since 2008- till date(14 years).

Like I said, one day we will sit and unpack some of these things una dey use shiny language package dey celebrate.
you are just rambling now without making any tangible point again.

I already told you. Lagos under the leadership of tinubu and his appontees is the 5th largest economy in Africa. it was 3rd until covid 19 and global recession.
under his leadership Lagos became one of the Most SECURED metropolitan of the same or close magnitude in the world from the criminal ridden hell hole it used to be.
No state in Nigeria can match Lagos in whatever index you
want to use. Be it infrastructure or human capital development.
You failed to dispute these points.

Two major things currently affecting Nigerians are;
1, Bad economy.
2, Terrible security.

We have someone in tinubu who has experience in fixing these things in a similar but smaller settings close to Nigeria.
Why you looking for a Saint with almost zero track record.

All those things he said will sound credible if tinubu has already not been tested at the national level. He's making it sound as if tinubu is an opposition, But with the number of his boys there, one can't make that argument.

Whatever vision tinubu had for this country could have been actualized since he's led by proxy. Tinubu is not detached from this government.
He's a part and parcel of it.
tinubu is actually the only one that has managed a mini Nigeria called Lagos.
Obi or any other politician you are selling here have not been tested at federal level either

No one is trying to detach tinubu from buhari, but tinubu is not the one calling the shot for buhari.

Tinubu sold buhari to Nigerians and Nigerians bought it. He didn't rule on behalf of buhari

Same way peter obi tried to sell Atiku to Nigerians but Nigerians ain't buying it.

LOL

Funny how you typed all this and ended up agreeing with all the points I raised in my post.
That's because I wasn't trying to portray tinubu like he is some kinda saint. Like some of you are trying to do for obi here.

If I should list the flaws of obi like you just tried to do for tinubu, this place will not contain it. But that's not the point I was trying to make.

Tinubu obviously has his flaws. just like every single politician in Nigeria. But his impeccable achievements outweighed his flaws. Which is something you can't say for majority of the politicians you currently have in that country.

Every tinubu's actions, bad and good have set Lagos on a great path as we know it today. Can you say the same for any other state in Nigeria today?

BlueRayDick:
1. Tinubu is an embodiment of corruption.
Corruption that made Lagos 5th largest economy in Africa? Sign me up please.

2. [s]Tinubu is nepotic and doesn't believe in merit. Nepotism is one of the ills that brought us to this point as a people.[/s]
Wrong. 90% of people who have worked with tinubu are not even related to him. Check the list of his commissioner to his politicial appointees. How many of them are related to him?
Nepotism is not your problem by the way. Your problem is lack of visionary leader with analog brain. You can put your son in position of power if he is competent. But that is not always the case with majority of your politicians. That's why no other state has come close to Lagos in every index.

3. Tinubu legitimize hooliganism in Lagos State. Some may argue that this is not as bad as it seems considering how it has reduced crime, but until you have an encounter with these guys being a law to themselves u will understand the danger it portends for our future.
The hooligasim that made Lagos one of the safest metropolitan city in the world? Again sign me up please.

Even your state without legitimate holigans, should we talk about the security there?
The danger that didn't show face in the last 20 years. But your state that didn't legitimize hooliganism is either battling with unknown gunmen or bandits because the hooligans there have nothing else to do.
Their governors have abandoned them.



4. Tinubu is physically sick. No one needs to remind you of how voting a sick Yar Adua ended for us neither does anyone needs to tell you how Buhari's constant attention to his health has affected Nigeria as a nation.
And the physically healthy person you elected cannot fall sick or be diagnosed with awful illness after you elected him/her right?

5. Tinubu is one of the major actors that sold the bad product called buhari to all Nigerians. His sense of judgement should never be trusted going forward
Tinubu sold his party. And that's Same way the likes obi sold us pdp presidents or tried to sell corrupt atiku in 2019.

These are but few reasons why reasonable people are actually wishing Buhari does not become Nigeria president come 2023.
Any reasonable person will see tinubu is still the best among the rest.

But ofcos I don't expect sentimental people to see that.

Like I said, a word is enough for the wise.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by ribbit: 9:10am On May 27, 2022
If not sentiment, how will someone see tinubu with proven track record on a ballot and vote obi whom you need google to see his achievement.

It's like having the opportunity to have Guadriola as your manager but you started clamouring for Marcelo bielsa.

Yeah tinubu is a thief, but peter obi is a saint that never stole. That's how they fell into buhari's trap the second time and that one is now pardoning convicted criminals.

Tinubu is your last chance in that country, if you guys failed to vote for right candidate in 2023, well..

I have said my own.

Are you registered to vote? Do you have your PVC?
Now, who is your preferred candidate so far?
It's not enough to criticize, do your own due diligence and make your choice now.
duhh!!

My PVC is ready to vote for a candidate that I don't need google or shady political links to know about his achievements.

Candidate that already ruled a mini Nigeria called Lagos very successfully.

Candidate that turned mini Nigeria to 5th largest economy in Africa and one of the most SECURED metropolitan city of the same population magnitude in the world without huge oil money.

Candidate that acts more and talk less. Unlike some political Ralph raggnick like someone perfectly put it.


Without mentioning any name, I'm sure you already know who I'm talking about. That's because his achievements speak for him.

The most visionary politician in Nigeria by far.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by ribbit: 5:18pm On May 26, 2022
When you need to google the achievement of a certain politician, that's when you know he is a failed politician.

If you Google abacha or babangida's achievements long enough, one or two things will definitely pop up.

Nairaland GeneralSeun, When Is Nairaland Getting A Proper Dark Mode? by ribbit(op): 10:01pm On May 11, 2022
Seun

When is nairaland going to have proper dark mode for this website?
A big website like this shouldn't be having problem implementing a dark mode.

Atleast, if you are not going to make it system wide, try to get rid of the awful white background that won't change.
The background and font make it hard for browsers to force dark mode.

It sucks that I have to make exception for just this single website in dark mode cos the background won't change and it just looked awful and unusuable .

Kindly do something about it.

No wonder faux news has not been masturbating over the news or find a way to blame Biden for everything that happened in the days of jesus.

They are not even reporting the news as much as the rest of the media houses..

Their lord and saviour ass is not clean.

They are reporting JLo and Ben Affleck instead.

Exactly what I was trying to get Coronovirus and others like him to understand. It's like climbing a tree and then kicking the ladder away. There's no single country that illegal immigration destroys in World's history and you rightly noted that bad political leaders like Trump and probably Buhari are the ones destroying countries. All my life growing up till today, never felt threatened by undocumented immigrants in America as long as they are not into criminal activities. If our guys here are advocating for shutting the US borders and mass deportation, do they know how many Africans including thousands if not hundreds of thousands of Nigerians that will be affected. Last point, I have been to Central Iowa and you couldn't believe what these Hispanics do at the farms for peanuts that Americans or Nigerians won't even do. That's why I refer to them as the Bread basket of America.
well said.
Foreign AffairsRe: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by ribbit:
Republicans seem to have perfected the art of using hate and fear of the unknown to shy away from doing their job to keep their blind followers in line. And seems to be working for them. I'm sure it would back fire later.


They have been blaming mexicans and immigrants for all america's problems which brought the orange turd into power instead of looking for ways to lift people's out of poverty and create more jobs for everyone.
They have started again.


Their orange turd blamed asians for coronavirus instead of doing a simple job of containing the virus. Now we have unnecessary hate coming towards asians.

And some people are too blind to see what's going on.

Pathetic.
Foreign AffairsRe: American Politics Thread: Trump Is The 47th President! by ribbit:
All these talks about people migrating illegally self.

My own views on illegal immigration is always unpopular sha.


Has illegal immigration ever brought down any great nation before?

I don't think I have read in any history where they say oh yeah, a certain country used to be great, then illegal immigration brought the country to its kneel.

May be america is an example sha. The country was peaceful in the hand of indians until illegal immigrants from europe took over and made the country "great." grin

When nigerians chased ghanaians away for taking their jobs, did it solve unemployment problem? No, it got worse.

Has xenophobia solved all south african problem?


Most of These so called illegal immigrants are running from poverty and would do shitty jobs most Americans will avoid on a good day or find a way to assign it to machines or robots. why would anyone have problem with it being done by humans to make ends meat, feed their family back home and also contributing a little they can to the country?



To me, What usually brings a nation down is always politics and it's political leaders not immigrants trying to earn a decent living.


Politicians trying so hard to make poor immigrants the problem instead of doing the job they are supposed to be doing by enacting laws that will make catching criminals easier (be it legal or illegal immigrants) or look for creative ways to solve problems without creating unnecessary hate all the time.

You still don't get it. US is on a balance now and it could tip the other way and plunge the country into a protracted crisis. People have been asking for Facebook, Twitter et al to put better restrictions, algorithm and moderation for years, especially after the last US elections where it was shown that Facebook can be used to create political chaos. Facebook allowed ISIS to use its platform for radicalization and recruitments before they were shut down. It was too late by then.

Trump effectively used twitter for his own radicalization and recruitment and numerous people pointed out the dangers then. Now it's almost too late. Millions of Americans have been radicalised and most are ready to carry arms at Trump's command. There are now too many extremist right groups in the US, all pledging allegiance to Trump and not even the US. There are White Nationists, Confederates, KKK, etc all ready to pick up arms against the state.

If these big tech don't bring things under control, they would be able to survive a protracted crisis.
so you solidified my opinion.

Isis, trump white nationalist and other radical groups kept using Facebook and Twitter as tool and they are still doing it till this day.

Why haven't playstore, apple store or Amazon removed twitter and facebook from their store since they have become tools for radicals.

Why go after parler?
What has parler done that facebook and twitter hasn't?


As for trump, while I believe he deserves the ban before he sets everything on fire with his social media rants, but then, why are they going after his businesses?

Actions like that will only draw sympathy for trump.

Trump is terrible, but too much power in cooperations hand is dangerous.

I shouldn't have to wait till they do it to someone I like before I see the danger.
