Lagos has always been a mess. I can remember back in the 1980's that the city was a mess then, and even in the 1960's it was described as badly planned and slum ridden.

Lagos has never been 'clean' as you think it was.

I don't support tinubu, but let's not lie to oppose him.

This is Lagos in 1967 & 1977 respectively

If there is one thing people gave BRF credit for, it was cleanliness and clearing of Oshodi that was thought to be impossible. BRF was no angel but it was so bad that people foooolishly complained about him planting trees for the environment. If you take your time to listen to him, Fashola said New York, London and Dubai plant trees, he didn't mention anything about budget or revenue, he just did what needs to be done from what he saw. He didn't make silly comparisons being made here about population and revenue. If you want a longer video of Fashola talking at LSE onagos environmental plan, I can show you too. Don't trick us, this is why I call the so-called mega plan APC and the people tout as a fraud. Because if they had a plan, they will all follow it to the T. The other day, they were showing us a thread of Sanwoolu commissioning street lights and I had to remind them that Ambode did this in his first term so what happened
I digress

Abi was it not Fashola who closed Ladipo market for being dirty

Ambode came in and messed the whole system up with his failed waste management contract.

Stop giving excuses.

These are the streets of New York.

The truth is that most cities with high population are dirty and they smell. There has constantly been complaints of New york rats been huge too.

This is the same for Paris and London

When it comes to nonsense and jagbajantis, you lots are quick to mention Western cities, when it comes to basic infrastructure, you run away

Tokyo. Singapore. Seoul. Hong Kong.
Shanghai. Vienna. Zurich. Munich. Copenhagen. All mega / high-density cities. All largely clean.
New York, Paris, London have issues but they still run waste systems, drainage, enforcement. Dirt isn’t caused by population. It’s caused by poor governance and weak sanitation systems. You cannot excuse government and its policies out of this and when you cite New York or those cities, they don't sleep on the dirt and make it normal, they work on it.

"The truth is that most cities with high population are dirty and they smell"

Population size alone does not make a city dirty or smelly, it is governance, infrastructure, waste systems, and citizen behavior that matter. Smell and filth come from policy failures such as poor waste collection, weak enforcement, bad drainage, underfunded sanitation and not from people simply existing. Again, dirtiness is overwhelmingly driven by policy, urban planning, and sanitation systems, not by the number of people if you take a look at the world's cleanest cities in the world and their population and compare the data. It’s a silly argument for blaming poor sanitation on population expansion rather than population management. And a very convenient one for governments that don’t want accountability.

Wait o. I expected them to be giving him massage, instead he's giving them massage. Na who carry phone enter the place too

If this is a response to the poll that was just concluded, you guys have a lot of work to do.

As this person on the thread rightly said, the whole point of the thread was propaganda but I like how you guys love online polls when it is in your favor but when it is not, na statistics we go chop? There is no voting booth online. There is no social media president etc. Wonderful

Slippy:
Whole point of this thread is for propaganda

Can you do a chart for cost of living from 1999 (Obasanjo) till now?!

This administration is more focused on metrics that has no effect on the common man

Will this data feed the people you have impoverished over the last 11 years?

Let me ask you a question. When Yar Adua was there, people complained, worse still, they complained about Jonathan. Hindsight is 20/20 so the propaganda of comparing tinubu to the past fell flat on its face. Do a poll between Tinubu and future contestants, let's check something. It's not looking backward, shey you have won the past, Oya do the one for the future. Compare Tinubu to the candidates on a fresh poll and ask those who love his administration the most in that propaganda poll who they will vote for between him and the other candidates. Also, if you are not afraid of polls, let the people vote, put it on front page, let's get views from everyone. Don't do corner polls, be bold and do a free fair poll. A winner should not be scared of their own popularity that they want to do online polls like INEC surprise result announcement na The total number of people who voted in that poll = 393 is not up to those who voted in the election poll.

You guys really need to stay one place, do you believe in polls or not? 🤡

ekhai:
THERE'S NO POLLING BOOTH IN SOCIAL MEDIA OR NL. THE VOTERS ARE IN THE VILLAGES AND HAVE NO ASSESS TO SOCIAL MEDIA OR NL. STOP RAISING UNNECESSARY HOPE HERE.

Is that an achievement? That the voters in the villages have no ACCESS to social media or the internet 🤡

This poll is interesting to see. I remember in 2023 how polls were conducted and we know who won but magically, some people want us to deny polls as a representative of the people's sentiments. They use words like no polling online, no social media boot and those kind of uneducated comments simply because only thugs think that way. This is the importance of education. You go through the process and finish it. You take your time to make sure that the process that makes you become president is presidential. It's not about chopping statistics and making announcements hurriedly or snatching it and running away with it. A true sportsman fears no honest competition but a crooked person behaves like Morocco at the AFCON. IYKYK

Yes. You suppose to know na. When last did you see him online? He was buried last year August

Wow. So one of the posts that was on FP last year was from a Lala handle from IG. I didn't know that, so when I mentioned it the mods changed the url to remove the handle. This was the post

SixSeven:
I was waiting for the 18 skills until I saw the OP had the IG link here and our lalasticlala is lalaing

No 10 was READING NEWSPAPERS
No 12 was NAVIGATING WITHOUT GPS

People don't read anymore so no surprises. They conclude to understand instead of the other way round. I try to drive without GPS where I can. I mean, I believe reading maps should be something of survival. No wonder No 14 was USING A COMPASS 🧭

I will just correct the number 18, USING LANDLINE PHONES. Landlines are making a comeback. I think Gen Z is tired of tech addiction. If you're into business, I just gave you free intel. Wait for the market. The old will become anew

I guess I didn't have time for NL when this happened

Sonofgod1990:
Ok now you come. He's gone

Are you serious

Sonofgod1990:

Late could mean he's dead. Late could mean he's late to the party. Google is ya friend

Galadimabawa:
I think Africa should stop including Morocco as one of them, as they are preferable as Arab.

From the map, they are not even close. I can still hear Egypt but Morocco they're closer to Spain

dominique:
They're behaving like spoilt brats and sore losers. So because they're the ones hosting all the CAF competitions and events, they felt like they can do whatever they like and get away with it. Na CAF I blame

AFCON should learn from this point and never put all eggs in one basket going forward

4 people tweeting in a room to four men meeting in a room. A party that is truly confident in itself with many governors and power should not be so worried about these insignificant parties nau

I watched the interview with Obilo and I smh at how Lai was painting a very interesting image of Mr Buhari.

Kwankwanso seems to have an overestimated sense of his worth. I wrote this some days ago.

Repost 2👇

Rayzoom:
I think it's better the way it happened, at least everyone now know who has more electoral value between the two. If he had accepted to work with Obi and they eventually won, he won't be humble, he would have been on Obi's nerves like Atiku to OBJ believing that they won because of his influence, at least for now even himself knows the value of Peter Obi

You have a good point. I remember back then what he said about being a VP to Obi

Kwankwanso did prove to be a bit arrogant and that interview confirmed it for me. He overestimated his popularity and now all of them can negotiate based on data

Fact: Tinubu remains the most unpopular president to have won the Presidential elections. He is the easiest to kick out. Back then, PDP told AC, CPC and opposition parties when they were reigning that to kick us out, you need to unite as opposition. That's what they learned in 2015.

I don’t get this story again, is this the snake that killed the girl or social media people bringing unrelated videos for the girls incident?

It’s just business. Funke understands the numbers game better than most. In this industry, if you don't watch your margins and profits, you will be famous but broke. You can't pay bills with 'Artistic Integrity' alone. Profitability is the only thing that sustains the industry.

I just watched Afolayan’s explanation here and he addressed this issue as well as the profit sharing ration

I am proud of him now than before because he just confirmed what I wrote about legacy vs noise. What is your life purpose? Good one Mr Afolayan 👍

Citroen19digit:
If you read my response to Spencer who has said what you just said, you would see that i give her orgasms to the point that she tells me to stop.

However, i have just today discovered what one of the problem is, which is that we men have a higher libido over our wives and our wives cannot keep up.

I met her last night and i still wanted another action this afternoon and started but stopped because of I saw she was tired even though we were resting at home and watching movies.

And that is where I saw after discussing with her that she is silently complaining that I always want to enter her.

And this has made me appreciate even more why husbands cheat and I will now raise a thread on it for further enlightenment and clarification

I read that response. Trust me, if you let her know she has a competition today, all these things will change. That one I am sure of

Gotocourt:
You need to understand there must be pledge of allegiance after coup attempt, you need to get all loyal troops to your side. Announcing it will make the culprits run , hide evidence or carry on with the attack.
Obasanjo ran to hide when General Murtala was killed and able to assemble loyal troops to take over the government.
Major Jakolo whom was General Buharis ADC was beaten and locked up as he went to get Intel on the IBB coupist.
General Abacha drove to Bonny camp with his son to get loyal troops to quash the Gideon orkars coupist.

You know the number of army divisions we had back then isn't the same today. How many GOCs do we have today?

lionshare:
Again, we don’t want a lily livered non-reform minded candidate who thinks to stop corruption he needs to follow the drivers to the fuel station? Has no clear-cut strategy to do anything including no plan to win election—-You get my drift?

I get your drift. I like those candidates who can speak to their manifesto and don't appoint someone in their team to speak for it. You get my drift? Because when they get elected, they'd say I didn't say that, my teamship did

lionshare:
we also don’t want an economic illiterate who doesn’t understand importance of consumption in an economy.

Absolutely. I don't want a candidate who dodges debates and prefers his own townhalls. That kind of person will never feel he is accountable to you. When the candidate enters, spokespersons will be speaking for him like D'banj was speaking for Don Jazzy. I don't want a candidate that asks if na statistics we go chop then starts feeding us with all kind of statistics to prove a point that they have managed the economy well. That's double standard. I don't want a candidate who cannot accurately tell us what our consumption level is for fuel but can end fuel subsidy. I don't want a candidate that wants Nigerians to be beggars in their country who call them mama and papa for an 8 year tenure. I don't want a candidate whose family feels entitled to the office. You know what I mean?

It's what the numbers do for you that matters. Kunle made a statement that is deep there and those in showbiz or football know this. You can take in 10bn, that does not mean it all belongs to you. Sales is not equal to profit share. I was just watching TLC too talking about how they made just hundreds from the millions that was made from their art. Oliseh was also explaining the other day how football contracts work and not all the thousand pounds per week goes to the players. All we hear is contracts and deals and money but you are not there to know what the Ts&Cs are. Art and business sense must go together. Everyone also has a niche market.

Writing is a form of education and if that bothers you so much that you are so lazy to write well, congratulations on your education 🤡

I don't think any right thinking person should have problem with this process. Must you guys criticise everything even if there is no need?

But you called those who said it was a coup liars only for you to now admit it. Oh please, get a grip. For all we care, this could be a phantom coup.

You should have sorted that person

I find it annoying. The moment I notice an article is AI-generated, I just skim through it rather than taking the time to immerse myself and enjoy the reading experience. The writing always comes across as 'mechanical' and there is a lack of nuance and subtlety.

They say these AIs are going take away the jobs of writers and other people in the creative industry but from what I've seen they have a long way to go. Shey na ChatGPT wey dey gbagaun on top simple question? They can be prolific but they will never match the quality and depth of human creativity.

Every writer has a unique style, which sets them apart. Not these AI articles though, they all read the same. So generic and unoriginal.

AI can never have creative license, which humans have.

With the way this government has handled the information around this coup, first from the early denial 3 months and scaring the press for irresponsible journalism and unpatriotism to now admitting that there was a coup attempt without any apology that they lied, you cannot tell me that the reason for the delay is nothing but POLITICS.

A government of propaganda is always concerned about their image and they do this with the way they manage information. It's such a disgrace and a red card because what they have done is proof that the government cannot be trusted.

Do not forget that President Tinubu did attempt a controversial "special presidential promotion" for his Aide-de-Camp (ADC),
Colonel Nurudeen Alowonle Yusuf, in December 2025.

The apparent contradiction can be explained by three main factors:

1. Strategic Misdirection and False Flag (October 2025): When the plot was first foiled in late September, the military and Presidency denied the coup rumors to prevent panic and deter copycat attempts. They publicly reclassified the arrests of 16 officers as "routine disciplinary actions" for career stagnation and exams.

2. The ADC Promotion Logic (December 2025): The attempt to promote Colonel Yusuf just two months later was actually tied to the coup climate. The Presidency's formal reason was "rank parity" with other Villa security chiefs, but analysts suggest it was an attempt to solidify the loyalty of the President's immediate inner circle. Promoting his most trusted personal guard was seen as a way to ensure a "last line of defense" after a major betrayal within the wider military.

3. The Admission (January 2026): The government only admitted the truth once the investigation was complete and the legal process for a court-martial was ready. This delayed confirmation allowed them to secure the administration and reshuffle top military brass, including moving General CG Musa to his current role as Minister of Defence before the public admission.

The government prioritized stability through denial in October, attempted to build a "fortress" of loyalists in December, and finally felt secure enough to be transparent in January. In short, the government lied through the seasons. Happy New Year folks.

Nigerians need someone to reset their moral consciousness and someone to be proud of when you see him in international fora. At this age, I am not deceived by any politician. After all, we have seen the worst, how bad can it be anymore? One of the criteria I saw was that our moral psyche is so bad, we need someone who can help reset it with the words they say, even if they are pretending. The last person that had that was Buhari and the propaganda packaging of the new sheriff in town in early 2015 but you can't pretend for so long. The robes came off quickly and those who questioned Nigerians were right. A leopard cannot change his spots. The way he didn't talk to you during campaign, he bloddy well didn't talk to you in his 8 years. The next person was Osinbajo until they asked who is the Presidency but you saw it in the few days he was in power. I also watched his actions, one of the few things he did was to use a Nigerian hospital when he had that accident and he showed leadership by example. Those little things matter in the scheme of things because leaders inspire, the people watch what they do.

We need someone who, when he talks, you want to listen. We need someone who displays good character even in politics, someone who is careful with the choice of words he uses and does not abuse his opponents. Someone who you can point to good examples of in character and speech. Not someone you are not sure how they will manage him in the public. Not someone who doesn't like to talk to his people and go through aides. Not someone who wants all the luxuries of this world but stay far away from the common man so they can never empathise with you. Not someone who does not inspire. Not someone who feels like a god. Not someone you cannot tell your child to emulate because you don't know their virtues or character, you only know buzz words and slogans. Not someone whose family, school and work history is shrouded in controversy. Not someone who has certificate issues. Not someone who's not bothered about the process that makes him president but just wants to be announced winner. You see these little things, they matter in the long run because they say children don't listen to you, they watch you. You can't tell your child that these are my values and you can't show them in 3D. Many of the politicians and their PR people lack integrity, that's why they boast often with power. It's all about the end result, not the process but God is wonderful, you finally have power but you can't use it 😂 You can't give what you don't have.
