I dont know if you've had a chance to watch that program, the question Oseni asked was that Umahi should tell him how much the Coastal road will cost per Kilometer and Umahi was trying to explain that such road cant be explained by amount per kilometer, as each kilometer has its different terrain and hazard, but the total cost of the project is available, Oseni will not have any of that, insisting Umahi must answer his question the way it was asked.
Umahi knew the trap that Oseni was setting and avoided it. It was Oseni that brought the issue of Umahi reporting him to the president on air to chase clout, I'm happy Umahi put him in his place

He asked him more than that question.

The initial question was “What is the cost per kilometer for the 750km and the additional 100km? Umahi responded that Rufai doesn’t know what he’s saying as he’s not a professional in that field. That was when they had a back and forth.

Rufai asked the question again and Umahi said the appropriate question should have been what’s the average cost per km. Then Rufai asked what’s the cost per km for the completed parts, Umahi again didn’t give any figures; not even average.

Rufai asked a second question “What are the terms of the 700bn loan they took for the project from the Dutch bank and how was the money spent? Umahi never answered this question but kept deflecting and grandstanding on him being a professor and how Rufai is a SAN.

Note: those ministers choose to go on Arise themselves knowing fully well what they’ll meet. Arise has the highest viewership of any Nigerian news station at the moment and is the preferred channel for people that watch from outside Nigeria. That’s why they prefer to use Arise platforms.

Lifestone:
He should show respect to his guests. Oseni behaves like a child trying to get validation from the public, his argument are sometimes childish and he tries too much on occasions to impress.
Agree that Umahi is a public servant and should be accountable, but you can only have issues if he didn't answer your question, insisting he must answer your question in the manner you want shows lack of maturity.
Which mentality makes you to be rude to your guest. On many instances, Rufai trie to make hos guests look bad.
Bye the way Oseni brought the issue of reporting to Mr President up. Before Umahi answered, i was already shouting who is Rufai for a Minister to be reporting him to Mr President.
I was happy that Umahi put him where he belong
I cant speak for Wike or Umahi at another time but on this issue with Oseni, i asked again who is Oseni!

Do you know the definition of the word “Respect”?

We often misuse that word respect. Being respectful doesn’t mean being servitude.

madridguy:
Benin Traditional Council should talk to their governor and let him talk to Iyaloja general. The appointed Iyaloja of Edo state will be the one that the government will recognize.

Advocate of destruction is who you are.

When people start calling Lagos no man’s land now, you people will start foaming in the mouth and having cardiac arrests.

madridguy:
The Northerners are really enjoying under this administration. During the era of late Baba Buhari, the Northeast packed almost all the appointments and President Tinubu is also doing the same with the people of the North Central.

Person dey bear Ojo, conc Yoruba name, you dey call am northerner.

Judolisco:
How many times dem Wan explain give dis guy on television... U can't get the cost per kilometre of a road project, u can only get the average cost per kilometre....

Why can't he just give the average cost? It's not that hard.

They get combative when asked simple questions about public projects they oversee using public funds.

SonOfDSoil01:
😂😂😂 nwOSU your pains are well acknowledged…..yes Lagos as now been added as the 6th state of biafla, are you happy now? Delusional clown, I guess the Egun and awori people are also ibos and they speak the ibo language 😂😂😂 this clown just come online and accord themselves the power to know who’s from Lagos or not….my state of origin will continue to be a source of pain and headache for you economic migrants, continue crying your tears are so delicious 😂😂😂😂

See ehn, I will tell you one thing about me. My father is Awori, confirm waterside, LGA is Amuwo Odofin, hometown is Ibeshe. Just go to Ibeshe, if you know your way and ask for Agaja kekere and Agaja nla. My mother is from Badagry town an Egun woman, her agbole is Ago Ijaiye. My mother's mum and father's mum are from Ajido. My father's mum family own all the Ibeshe beach lands, my mother's mum left her and her siblings with 3 very large coconut farms in Ajido and beach lands.

Travel down to badagry town, ajido town, and ibeshe town and ask of these family names.

Those of you claiming Lagos cannot and I repeat cannot mention your families name and let us confirm.

WizardOfNG:
Lol. This talk of some of you always cracks me up because of what it reveals, psychologically, about those who don't do reality.

This is the politics section. When we speak here it is usually and normally to do with the administration of Nigeria at State, local Governement and federal level.

Which superman are you relying to go and remove non-Awori Yorubas and non-Eguns in Lagos administration to then put Aworis and Eguns alone in charge? So we should expect David Hundeyin to be Governor soon because he is Egun? Lol.

Same way one Edo chap here claims daily that Edos "own" Lagos. I asked him to show even one Edo that is chairman of a local Government, out of 57 in Lagos, he fled. Even out of 376 councillors sef it is unlikely.

See, people who can't work with reality only reveal to others they are dreamers always 'projecting' frustrated fantasies and dreams, meaning they fail woefully at life.

If we talk about Nigeria as you said, then why do you lots keep bringing in ethnicity? The constitution says anyone so far he's a Nigerian can live, do business and contest elections in any part of Nigeria, as long as he is eligible.

You can go to Imo state and contest for an elective position, it is left to the people there to elect you or not.

If a Chinedu that has lived in Lagos all his life decides to contest for governor, he has all the right to so far he is qualified according to the constitution. It is left for the electorates to vote him.

Aworis are Yoruba.
.

Yoruba or Yoruba was used to call people from the Old Oyo empire.

Yoruba was used by the british as a unifying name for all the ethnic groups in the South Western parts of Nigeria.

The Yoruba word was introduced between 14th century and 16th century.

Oduduwa never called himself Yoruba.

Aworis are descendants of Oduduwa from Ile Ife.

Cajal:
They are talking about lagos
You are talking about APC

Even if APC leaves, YORUBA remains as lagos landlord

Aworis and Eguns own Lagos. Yorubas can go back to Oyo and Saki and its environs to land over.

SonOfDSoil01:
😂😂😂😒empty chest beater…..violence in Lagos yorubaland? Who will be the biggest loser? He be like say Lagos don tire Una. A state in the heart of yorubaland and border by Yoruba states? You seems to have forgotten how many bridges you passed before arriving in Lagos in night bus😂😂😂

Yoruba land is Oyo and doesn’t go beyond there.

Lagos state belongs to the Eguns and Aworis and they allowed all sorts of people like yourself from Iragbiji and those from Ilorin to settle. Now immigrants from Ilorin and Iragbiji want to lay claims to land that’s not theirs and trying to corner Lagos state as part of Yoruba land.

Yoruba land doesn’t exist, never existed.

iamme1234:
So if apcs time is coming to a end sooner
So Lp would take over abiiiii

It’s like saying anambra belongs to the yorubas
Una no wise at all

Lagos is owned by Eguns and Aworis. Yoruba kingdom no pass Oyo.

We’re no longer in the 14th century.

Mr. Commissioner, you’re also part of the Tom, Dick and Harry.

APC’s time in Lagos is coming to an end, sooner or later.

Ruke1991:
These are his fellow Yoruba brothers. It's not something mind-blowing to do something for your tribesman. That should be normal and no need trying to do publicity stunt with it

I think he extends this gesture to anyone.

This may be the beginning of the end to the administration of that president.

Just know that whenever someone sing praises of one thing too much, the person prefers the opposite.

professorPABX:
Seun, this is what I want to correct yesterday but your moderator deleted my post and suspended my account as usual to enable his people excite themselves.

The fact is that Lagos is not moved by nairaland. It is good to have a platform such as nairaland where depressed and frustrated people can vent their anger. One thousand ants cannot move a cube of Sugar, they can
only perambulate and confuse themselves the more.

Lagos State Government, Lagos State Traditional Institutions and Lagos Native indigenes and most YORUBA elites know what happens on nairaland.

LOL.

The truth hurts. Oba of Isale Eko was never a crown wearing king since time immemorial. Go and verify. You can’t know Lagos better than an Awori.

Your APC time of reign in Lagos is reaching its end.

Enjoy it while it lasts.

press9jatv:
A plots of land now sells for over 400m in GOODWILL estate JERICHO.

Imagine o, that's when I come across some "ignoramus" denigrating ibadan as a "brown roof" city I just smirk 😏 at there ignorance...

Ibadan has some of the most serene and beautiful estates in Nigeria....

What’s the size of the land that costs 400M?

What amenities are in place in that area to drive the valuation that high?

WizardOfNG:
You're talking nonsense as usual. SmartPolician is 100% correct that, as obtains in virtually all nations of the world, those who wish to be top executive leaders of democratic nations need to have requisite experience that confirms they can lead nations, for example, to go to war as Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine had to do.

What is this Mr.Eazi's qualifying experience for such a a crucially important position? His music career? Marriage to Otedola's daughter?

Nigeria is in danger with you 'anything goes' Nigerians who would even back Davido, Obi Cubana, basketmouth, VDM , Deji Adeyanju or Wizkid etal to be President because they are famous, visible and say what you wish to hear.

Which political office did Donald Trump hold before he was elected president?
Suegbe.

Kalulu44:
I know Akran of Badagry very well and I also hope what you just said is true. Cus from my own point of view, Oba of Lagos weild more influence than the Akran.

Political influence. The Akran of Badagry is a strong opposition to Tinubu and APC, thus the reason he’s been sidelined.

You see that channel called TVC, they are the propaganda arm of Tinubu media team.

Those guys will see black and call it cream.

Brendaniel:
That means you are saying that the Oba of Lagos is just a figure head?

Oba of Lagos is just a white cap chief.

The solid king of Lagos as a state is the Akran of Badagry.

How do you go to another state and impose market leaders on them.

In what capacity?

These Same people are quick to remind others that they are immigrants in their states and region.

What did he forget in that office that he’s going back to get?

Predictor3:
Who told you that? Russia had a recession in 2022, Saudi Arabia in 2023, around the same time as Nigeria. Besides the economies of those countries you mentioned are more diversified than Nigeria's.

How was Buhari incompetent? I want to learn

LOL. Nigeria recessions were 2015/2016 and 2016/2017.

Russia 2022 recession was due to the sanctions placed on them because of the Russia/Ukraine war.

Saudi Arabia do not experience recession in 2023.

On Independence Day I went out to refill gas, I went to the closest to my house, they didn’t open, I decided to go down to NIPCO at Festac first gate. Lo and behold I met a large queue. I decided to join the queue as I suspected that for there to be such queue, other plants do not have. I spent 3 hours just to refill.

Though the cost was 980/kg

If Abuja is truly safe as claimed by the minister, why does he move around with security?

Predictor3:
You are talking like a drunk man. Oil prices dropped so much under Buhari that Nigeria got into recession three times in eight years

Nigeria went into recession because of the incompetency of the Buhari administration and not oil prices. Is Nigeria the only oil producing nation? Why did Russia, Saudi Arabia, and the likes not also go into recession because of falling oil prices?

valentineuwakwe:
It's not about being aggressive but not wanting to be intimidated by any white player who feels as a black man you are inferior to them.

A player tackles osimhen and another player came in n grumbly insulted him as shown from the video clips online.
That anger osimhen the more. So we should ask what did the player said that made him to angrily leave who made the rough tackle to another player,!

That doesn’t concern the referee, he’ll be red carded if he goes physical on another player if the player said words at him.

Zidane vs Materazzi 2006 World Cup final comes to mind.

I’ll reduce the running cost of the executive arm of government that I’m in charge of.


That move alone will free up a lot of funds to do other things.

SmartPolician:
Don't be another Sowore who makes a lot of noise without a substance. You are still young.

If you are serious, start from the House of Reps or guber of your state. Build a political career to show a track record of excellence. That's what you will use to campaign across the country.

Nobody will vote for you because you are Mr. Eazi. Political leadership is a serious business.

Why must he start from house of reps or state?

It’s all these nonsense talks of build track record that allows people like yourself vote incompetent people into offices just because they’ve been in politics for years.
