Is it the same Lagos that was developed during the military Era as the capital of Nigeria, that this one's are claiming to develop and stabilize? Was Lagos a jungle prior 1999, before Afenifere allowed Tinubu contest for the governorship position under their party?

Modified:
All candidate should be allowed to campaign wherever they deemed fit. Aren't we practicing democracy again?

The only problem with PDP is their incurable penchant for corruption and stealing of public fund, in and out power. As for APC, that to me is not a party at all. It's an entity with strange bed fellow with no specific direction and definable goal. Lp is new and can't be concluded upon, but it presents hope and departure from the old order. With it Nigeria are no longer between the devil and the deep red sea.

Wasted their lives for nothing in the name of football. The absence of Christ in people's lives attached them to one die hard frivolity or another. Just tell me what is there to be a die hard fan of a football club for which their loss could send you to an early grave? This unexplainable addiction is nothing but Idolatry in the sight of God.


1 John 5:21 (KJV) Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.

Many won't realize they're on the broad way till they find themselves at the gate of eternity unable to enter heaven. Let's be careful not to provoke God with worldliness in the name of Christian liberty. Unfortunately, many of our professed pastors no longer set godly standard for their congregation, they'd rather beat around the bush in their sermons when it comes to saying it the way Christ said it.

Matthew 7:13 (KJV) Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
Matthew 7:14-17 (KJV) Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

You'll think their ouster from power this past seven years, should serve a note for retrospection and introspection. But Alas, never!
In and out of power, they remain same corrupt money sharing party. So ashamed of men that make up that party.
While we shouldn't talk about a rudderless party like APC, who although are in powet but actually leading people no where, a serious opposition party will take advantage of such apparent failure to boost their chances of clinching the power once again.
Thank God for the emergence of a third force that can actually give people a reason to believe in the system once again, otherwise owing to this two party they're ready to ride and keep Nigerians perpetually in a state of hopelessnes.

Is this not the same Shettima who claimed to be favourably disposed to the Christian faith in the past, that is been accused to have mastermind the cancellation of Christian religious studies, from the states school curriculum during his time as Governor of the state? And this is coming from someone who know him better than most of his supporters in the south.
Someone with such antecedent shouldn't be allowed to preside over our affairs, a man holding an extremist view on religion or religious matter.

Some manufacturers of this giant birds are acing sane, while many end-users of such gadgets are going nuts.
To despise and disobey God, in the name of corporate liberty isn't the issue. Wether they'll be able to bear the corporate punishment in eternity when the chips are down, is where the task lies.

Maxymilliano:
Commitment to making Nigeria work or destroying the country with his uninspiring rubber stamp leadership

May be they should allow him win the election and thereafter replace him with the right candidate. That way he would have use his money to prosecute the election while vowing never to do such again.

Chisomann:
It is not because we are not the same father I just feel like they are men and they should go and work, I don't owe them anything it is not my fault that my dad is responsible he is taking good care of me and there dad's are not. I can help them if I want to but I hate it when they want to depend on me for everything they are stressing me. And tommorow when they will start making it in life they will not even remember me it is their wives who will reap where they didn't sow. I will not help them again I think I should listen to my dad I will change my number and move on.

As in their dad's? How many husband exactly does your mum has before her death? Seems like the older has a different father, you another and the two younger ones too, same father or different? Making 4 children to three or four fathers. If that's the case then your mum has really committed a lot of sexual atrocities.

Are you the first daughter? And is your Dad the first man in your mum's life or the second? Cos I seriously hate it when a woman is having two three husband's while all of them are still alive. Such women cause a lot issues for their offspring, It is sickening when a woman don't know how to discipline their sexual life.

If you know how to manage life, by God's grace marriage won't be a big thing to manage. Pride and irrational decision emanating from one mistake or error commited by a partner and taken too far is the root cause of unaccounted divorce cases filling up our societies and courtroom. Couples must learn to tolerate each other and seek for one ultimate purpose which is to help each other get better. Yes, offenses either deliberate or not are bound to come, but should one offense be allowed to destroy long good years of togetherness?
@OP, the golden mistake you made was to block avenue for airing differences and resolving issues; which is communication. By so doing you create an atmosphere for suspicion and escalation of enmity.
I didn't know I wronged my wife this morning, but I got her text while in the office and immediately replied her with a very soft and sorry text. What if she blocked me because of an offense I wasn't even aware of? So we should learn to tolerate each other and do away with ego and pride in our families. In a relationship no one is doing each other favour, the man's role was assigned to him by God and vice verse, so we complement each other and that makes the difference.
Since you're the root cause of the whole quagmire, then you have to personally find a way to get to him wherever he is physically and sort things out with him amicably, since he longer picks your call. You can cry your cry and regain your pride later, once the process of reconciliation is completed, not by taken your pounds of flesh or seeking another opportunity for revenge but by asking him to pay you back for the long time of silence and you can as well bill him for desertion; Couples things you know. This is an experience and an eye opener, so next time you guys should learn to laugh over such matters.

Ephesians 4:26 (KJV) Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:

Isn't this same party that promised to sell off some of the aircraft in the presidential fleet, to cut cost of governance and never did? So how can a man with total blindness advice another with one good eye and better vision? The advise smells of hypocrisy!

Kwankwaso seems okay with the local fame and popularity he enjoys every four years. He'll soon go into oblivion with this kind of mindset.

But wasn't Atiku himself a former APC decampee? If the head can be bad, what is there about the other parts?

And what if he's eventually mobilized for the war, that would be his undoing, and more like jumping from fry pan to fire.

The funny thing is, I'm yet to see how BAT is fighting the yoruba course or for the yorubas;
When Afenifere, the PAN ethnic group that stood firmly in support of the yoruba course were decimated and thrashed by him during his reign as governor of Lagos State. Modern day Politicians are not fighting for anybodys interest but theirs alone and those of their cronies. Election in Nigeria has become so expensive that any single politician who spearheaded the funding of his campaign is only going their to steal and recoup his loss. We know about BAT and ATIKU, and their public history in financial management at different levels of their careers, it has been nothing less than colossal. For equity and justice let's allow a neutral person and the Easterners have a taste of power again after a long time, while we watch and see how far they can get holding such power. If they failed it wouldn't be said that they were denied such privilege, but that they misused it.

Human seems fixated on things that holds no eternal value nor add to their chances of accessing the holy celestial city. If only we are wise, we would all encourage ourselves to live a godly life that pleases God and qualifies for an eternity of bliss with him.


Deuteronomy 32:29 (KJV) O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!

If Pres. Buhari never won and Nigeria never got better, we'll assume our collective mistake of not voting in the best candidate caused it. Now we know better. Hopefully, this time around we can put sentiment aside and go out of the norm to cast our vote on an entirely new slate. Let's try this experiment first, we can then jettison it and revert back to the old order if it fails to produce the needed change.

God did not create man as animal to be chained. The enemy of man's soul appeal to this and his capsizing to the enemies whims his undoing.

God is always angry when leaders he placed over nations are not willing to govern in righteousness, and yet continue to call his name when they are not ready to do the right thing.

Luke 16:15 (KJV) And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.

Funny enough what God is concern about is we bringing forth godly seed. What is a godly seed? A child brought forth in a relationship where the first, The father and mother are properly married. secondly, Where both parents are children of God. Thirdly, Where concerted enough is made to bring up the child in the way of the Lord; from cradle, and they walk in the path of righteousness all the days of their life.
They bring light to their generation and make their society healthy and livable. With them, definitely you can't have any fear of terrorist terrorizing your life or constituting a menace to the society. They'll not kill, steal or commit fornication or adultery with anyone's wife. Put in the position of authority, they'll never amass wealth to themselves while the people they govern suffers. Everything about their life point others to God and his coming kingdom. This are the kind of children that trills God when they are born to the world, for there is a light that shines with their birth. Anything that differs from this, add more to darkness and ungodliness that already pervades the earth.

Seems an average Fulani and by extension Northerner, have some modicum of irrational stubbornness in them. How can a man who against simple arrangement, yet decide to contest for the primary election of his party and fortunately won become so recalcitrant when it comes to bringing everyone on board to help him fulfill his long term ambition of presiding over the affairs of the Nation. Could this be the case of 'He whom the gods would kill, he first make mad'?

God won't fight for her, may be devil will; cos they are both doing his bid. Instead of repenting to prevent herself from experiencing the greatest pain and heartaches ever known in hell, she's wanting to go all out in committing more evil to seal her fate in perdition. The unfortunate thing with human is, after doing our own bids, and it goes awry, we turn to unleash our pain and blame on God by asking why? You traveled hundreds of kilometers perhaps to commit fornication, then later want God to fight for you. This generation is messed up all round and terrible judgement await them all.


Matthew 11:24 (KJV) But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.

.

It's so that the rebellious and the sheep can be eternally separated. The saints of God shall possess the earth, for the Lord shall reclaim that which belongs to him.

Galatians 6:7-8 (KJV) Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

If anyone truly died, went to heaven and return to the earth, the only person you'll see worshipped and adored in heaven is Jesus. He's the word of God through whom God the Father created the heaven and earth. Be rest assured you won't see Muhammed and the rest of all religious founders in heaven, especially anyone who preach even one single but fundamental doctrine that contradict that of Christ. Having said that, Let it be known that JESUS Christ is not a Christian and did not died for the Jews or Christians, but the whole world. Reason I sincerely pity Muslims who refuse to search out the truth that'll help them surrender to Christ. Without Jesus Christ entering heaven is a mere wish that'll never come through. Let's all consider our ways before it's too late. God is not a respecter of any man.

John 3:16-19 (KJV) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

This is noteworthy. But if it's Northerners they'll sometimes want to compel you to embrace their religion to occupy positions you're duly entitled for. First hand report, when Atilu was promoted to head custom I was authoritatively informed he wasn't the next in line, the next in line was a southerner and far well read than Atiku, who perhaps has only diploma certificate as his highest qualification then. The southern man was told to change his religion in exchange, but since he couldn't do that and also couldn't stand Atiku a junior officer becoming his boss and given him order, he has to resign. Northerners are more guilty, when it comes to matters of intolerance, nepotism and playing ethnic card.

Just put the road signs everywhere necessary, once this is done, violators can be prosecuted without mercy.

Lagos govt. might be caught in the cross fire eventually, on this particular issue. It's not about the offense but the procedure and principle to arrive at such conclusion. Since we are not in a banana Republic, it is left for things to be done the right way and must be seen to have been so done to gain public confidence. Otherwise one day the government might just wake up and reclaim your landed property for not paying land use charge, or take over your company for tax evasion. It will turn out a case of using illegality to cure illegality. In other words, Government or not; everyone deserves justice and reserve a right to fair hearing at all times.

This is part of what I was driving at yesterday. What are the procedures put in place to warrant clear-cut obedience and justify prosecution of offenders? You move around highly uncoordinated routes with little traffic signs and visibility, yet as a first timer driving through those routes you're expected to know some are one way. LASTMA in Lagos are not carrying out their duty with the fear of God and utmost civility. To impound cars, auction them and collect huge penalty fee shouldn't be the sole aim of doing this job. What happens to educating the public and erecting a clear signs post to give clear direction and warnings? Or is Lagos state government so poor they can't put this little thing's in place, to prevent unintentional breaking of traffic laws?

You think people like this OP want correction? You are mistaken. People like her only want validation and answers as to why people can't allow others live their lives anyhow they feel like, mostly doing bad things anyway. With little mastery of English, not physics or mathematics, they believe they have the best brain upstairs to offer solution to any problem, whereas ordinary Indomie they can't prepare to taste.
They want you to tolerate their lifestyle and swallow their opinion, but cant stand and won't take a pinch of other people's opinion. They are mostly one way traffic drivers, going places to cause disaster.
