WHAT'S URS??
Thanks.
I tell you people sincerely, to your shame, none of you here are Christians (maybe good Christians). Even Righteousness isn't a Christian. A Christian will know the important prayer, the will of God and how to prioritized prayer requests. The most important prayer now is, 'let thy kingdom come' or put in another way, 'come lord Jesus'. This way of praying was taught by Jesus in the prayer we have come to know as the lords prayer. Or isn't Jesus any longer our lord and teacher? This prayer shows selflessness and reliance on God. Infact, it is when the kingdom of God comes that all our other requests will be fully met. In this kingdom, hunger, tears,worries, violence and deaths will be no more. Check your stance really. Many of you are just Christians by name. You don't know your master or how to please him. I am not judging, I have pointed out what should cause you shame and make you repent and turn around truly.
As usual the deception by supporters of terrorists is very easy to dispel. I'm going to explain it here and I'm even going to explain the excuse that they have not yet used.
Now, some people claim that there is something wrong with this news because they say that this is the third time that the police is announcing that it has arrested or killed the killers of Gulak. That kind of trick cannot work on me because I remember quite well what happened on the day that Ahmed Gulak was killed.
Ipob media warriors, eye witnesses and security agents described what happened. In fact, there were videos of the terrorists that were operating on that day. It wasn't a single terrorist that was operating. In fact, I am going to provide a quote from one of the previous arrest announcements.
Does this mean that only one person was driving these 4 vehicles, or is it that there were many people in these 4 vehicles and the police has caught various members of the group at different times?
But u dump oh. I pray to God that u don't have a PVC because u will vote rubbish. Police said they arrest a leader of the gang. A gang can comprise a group or several group of people. They may move in 4 or more vehicles. What are u then trying to point out. No dey comot for house abeg, u no too well
ItsTutsi: Lol your not talking from logic but sentimental and subjective reason
You want me to leave a competent and progressive Tinubu who has made Lagos what it is today, who has built men.. for PO who has miserably failed in all aspect of governance(Even according to igbo) in Anambra State
Tinubu beats Atiku and PO in every indices of competence, achievements and human development
The truth is PO us nothing but an Igbo candidate and I know ur supporting because of that.. I was not expecting anything different from you
I just told you of several other candidates from different tribes I have supported because I believed at that point in time they were better. But typically, you don't just understand. I tell you wholeheartedly, that there are things you do not grasp now probably because of your personality. You may understand later or even never. One way you have disappointed is to say Tinubu that did relatively nothing in is 8years built lagos. Lagos that have been the centre of everything from about 500years? Lagos that had beautiful administrators like lateef Jakande? Lagos that the federal government until just about 30years ago was sinking our commonwealth in? I will refer you to one of my posts. https://www.nairaland.com/7493731/special-lagos You need to read more. Study history especially and read about other countries and cities with similar standings and potentials to lagos to know what you should really celebrate
ItsTutsi: As a northerner, who do you want/expect us to vote?
Remove emotions, and speak with logic
I try to apply logic always. As a southerner for example, I voted for Buhari against Jonathan when I believed that Bugari is less corrupt, then when I saw how ineffective Buhari was, I voted for Atiku the last time out. Obi is better than the other 2candidates when measured by all the vital parameters. So I expect you to apply logic, for the good of the nation and vote Obi. Shikena. You northerners should start doing better. You should start behaving like a really civilised and progressive people
ItsTutsi: Kwankwasso is contesting to gain enough support for his preferred Gubernatorial candidate in Kano State
If he doesn't support Atiku is understandable, because after 8yrs of Atiku it will go back to south!
But why are u insisting his supporting PO, why not Tinubu if both are southerners?
I don't get how you didn't see where I explained why he wouldn't want both Tinubu and Atiku. I want to believe we can't have three muslim presidents in a roll or three northern presidents in a roll. I hope you understand now
ItsTutsi: Lol walahi u guys are very funny, you will just imagine things out of nowhere!
Why will kwankwasso have a better chance I 2031?
The problem with 0people like you is that you can't think outside the box. Its is reasonably clear to Kwankwaso now that he has no chance. so why do you think he is still staying put and even increasing is efforts at campaigning that we know is expensive? He knows that of the leading candidates, if a muslim Tinubu and a Muslim Atiku succeeds a Muslim Buhari then another chance of a muslim president succeeding this people after 4 or 8 years is just unimaginable
If you are hoping that Kwankwaso that just mocked Tinubu that he bedwets is going to step down for the same Tinubu at some point, then you really don't know much. I am certain I know a lot about politics in Nigeria. I predicted long time ago that Kwankwaso will stay to the very end just to spoil Tinubu and Atikus chances. He believes now that he only have a chance after Obi.
You charged Kanu for so many things but never charged him for saying you are Jubril from Sudan. That sort of made me believe he was right. That sort of made me believe you were scared he would blow the whole thing open if you charged him for that
This guy sentiments tilts towards Atiku. He has overestimated Atikus power. It is funny how he stipulated that Atiku will win Akwa ibom for example. Obi is actually winning this state. He also do not have a competitor in Delta and Edo. I also don't know how he came to think Kwankwaso will do the 10 and 15 percent he is giving him in some southwest state. Frankly, I think those figures he is giving Kwankwaso in these south west state should logically add to whatever he gave Obi in that region. Bottom line, Obi is the underrated person that will surprise everybody in this election. There is scarcely nothing that PDP and APC do that can surprise anybody, they can only disappoint.
If you are knowledgeable and informed, as a Christian it will be a crime to vote for the APC. You should just see how El Rufai has been partial in dealing with the genocide going on in Kaduna. Indigenous Christian communities are being wiped out. It as never been this bad. You are supporting APC because you don't know much. There are Islamist (not in anyway islamic) hordes that are seeing it as a religious duty to chase away Christians. They will reach us in the south here after they are done with southern Kaduna. DON'T AID THIS EVIL. STOP IT IN ITS TRACK.
MALIGNANTGuest: He's doing the right thing but because humans sat down to make Laws for themselves, they endorsed the laws and claimed God told them, meanwhile that which he did is actually NATURAL & naturally ordained.
Humans are seeing the very negative influence of polygamy on the family and society. Aside the fact that Hod do not encourage it, a logical person will see why.
codedguy1: If (WHEN) Obi wins he must make sure he strengthens the electoral process more so that it becomes really difficult to rig. Even add diaspora voting. This will ensure well meaning competent Nigerians entering the race and weeding out thugs, druggies, charlatans from the polity to a large extent.
I totally agree with u. We need our politics and national direction to be dictated by educated and exposed people. Its important people from diaspora that have gotten a taste of good countries function influence more our democracy
Racoon: By now it should be clear to any well discerning observer Nigerian who should be president or who should not. "Giving Obi a chance in 2023 would not be largesse to the bespectacled ascetic what is at stake transcends one man he is just a catalyst for the new Nigeria we desire. It is more about the things his emergence would represent: that the people come first, that democracy must indeed be of the people, by the people and for the people.
That anyone can emerge as president no matter what part of the country they come from or how they worship, as long as they are best suited for the job; that people with the sheer power to vote can sack the stale politicians with their shopworn ideas and toxicity.
Nigeria at this time needs a visionary, not an emperor. We must wrest ourselves from the manacles of those who have held us bound and have become entitled to our commonwealth. We must shun prejudices as we forge ahead to become a prosperous nation. We must make this Obi experiment now and turn the tide against the political elite because fortune only favours the brave. It is in our hands." The revolution is still loading.
You get too much sense. While obi comes across as decent and a lil different, it is what is presidency will represent that matters most. Like what Atiku represented in the last election, Obi presidency will pass the message that power really lies with the people. It will clearly show that we matter and that no government can take us for a ride and expect to go away with it. I expect your comment to have a million likes

MY RESPONSE TO @omonnakoda ABOUT HOW LAGOS BECAME WEALTHY.
My friend, you seem not able to understand the situation of lagos. Lagos will always be rich because several factors have placed it in that position. First, lagos have before any city in Nigeria been heavily invested infrastructure wise, way back from around 500years by the Portuguese explores that gave it the name Lagos because they saw similarities in topography with the Lágos in Portugal. Then it was also further developed infrastructure wise by the slave returnees from Brazil, jamaica, Haiti, the America mainland and Europe since about 250years ago. The major port anywhere in Nigeria was already established in badagry all this time to bring in and take out commodities in human and goods. Furthermore, the British colonisers, because of these already laid down favorable factors, chose to make lagos the capital, first of the southern protectorate then of the whole Nigeria since about 150years ago. They further continued the infrastructural development of lagos, to make it fitting for an administrative centre. All these times, lagos naturally became the wealthiest and most important city in the whole of Nigeria because if its status, the opportunities it offers, the port and other infrastructures that was nowhere else in Nigeria. It then was attracting multitudes of people from various regions in the hinterland of Nigeria. It started more than any city in Nigeria hosting communities, from Benin kingdom, Egba in abeokuta, Ijebus from ijebu ode, rich business people from Brazil in the lagos island area and even tribes like Nupe from the far central region of Nigeria in Oshodi. Lagos was then producing the richest families and oligarchs in Nigeria. Then the federal government of the independent Nigeria took over and increased infrastructural development like one caught in a burst of fever. Significant national wealth was concentrated in lagos to make it a functional city fitting for a young and ambitious country. All these factors and infrastructure that has been put in place since and continued to increase in velocity from more than 500years, naturally attracted like a magnet pull, people from all works of life across Nigeria and even west Africa. And where you see this kind of infrastructure, opportunities and people, you naturally see wealth. Lagos has from a long time, been the most wealthy and by far the most important city in Nigeria. What Tinubu did to his big credit, is putting figures on this wealth. By collating revenue, centralising revenue collecting and collating office under a body, increasing and modernizing mechanisms for collecting and collation of taxes and then putting aggressively tollage system in place everywhere in lagos. This is the situation of lagos. This situation wasn't created in the 8years of Tinubu or even in the about 20years after him. It's been 500years coming. I have educated you here.
omonnakoda: You are an ignoramus.mixing half-truths with imagination What is the summary of this twaddle. What is your point Mine is clear money has no house . It goes where its owners think it will be safe and in Nigeria today that is Lagos.
Do you have a point?
You see, how you are an apology of a human being? What warrants the insults? Is it that you are just irredeemably capable of taking in knowledge? You are so shallow and pitiable for you to dismiss historical and verifiable facts as imagination. You are obviously a victim of the corrupt leaders in Nigeria who have ensured you are perpetually enslaved mentally by taking history away from you in school. I have pointed out that incomparable wealth is in lagos because the enabling factors have been put in place by different factors. Wealth and fame have by providence and nature been forced on lagos.
omonnakoda: Money is not a THING like banknotes in a vault or power in a car battery that occupies space in this case the space of Lagos
No money is confidence of capital owners it is a human thing and it can disappear overnight if not managed properly
Lagos is the one place that investors trust the most. Ask Dangote. Imagine him not putting his refinery in the Niger Delta. We must ask did any of the Delta governors work to change his mind ? Shell and others are leaving Warri
The Niger Delta has a confidence problem and if that is fixed and it can be then you would realize that money does not have a house apart from where the owner thinks is safe
The Niger Delta governors since 1999 have mismanaged the wealth that came their way. They have not ended dependence on oil or created a peaceful environment to retain and attract investment. That hostage taking mentality persists and is a huge deterrent to investment
My friend, you seem not able to understand the situation of lagos. Lagos will always be rich because several factors have placed it in that position. First, lagos have before any city in Nigeria been heavily invested infrastructure wise, way back from around 500years by the Portuguese explores that gave it the name Lagos because they saw similarities in topography with the Lágos in Portugal.

envoymedia: Actress Iyabo Ojo Shows Off Her Boyfriend, Paulo, As She Celebrates Her 45th Birthday (Photos)
Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo and PR Guru, Paul Okoye, have made their relationship public, as she celebrates her 45th birthday today, December 21, IGBERETV reports.
Taking to her Instagram handle, the posted a lovely video of her and Paulo as she hailed him, while celebrating her birthday. She wrote;
duro4chang: There are many Yorùbá names whose meanings are now lost due to the fact that the words forming their roots are no longer in use. For instance, ask the young Master Ọlọ́pàádé the meaning of his name and he will probably tell you that his name means “the policeman has come“. Ask Mr. Ọlọ́paádé, his father, and he would probably tell you it means “the owner of the staff has come“. The two of them would be wrong as Ọlọ́pàádé actually means “the Ọpa (re|re) devotee has come“. The same goes for all other Ọpa names like Opadotun. Those names show that the ancestors of the bearers of the names were worshippers or devotees of the Ọpa Cult otherwise called Awo Ọpa, one of the religious cults or secret societies proscribed by the British in colonial days.
Or imagine another scenario: Pastor Ọbáfẹ́mi (re|mi|mi|re), the pastor of a Pentecostal church, is asking Deacon Ògúnyẹmí to change his name because he believes that the name of the deacon is associated with Ògún, an idol (so-called), without realizing that his own name is also idolatrous in its origin.
Even Professor Wọlé Ṣóyínká in his book “The Man Died” gave the meaning of his surname Ṣóyínká to be “surrounded by wizards“. This is far from being the case. Names like Soyinka, Sonuga etc. do not derive from “Oṣó“(wizard) but rather they derive from Òrìṣà-Oko, the Yorùbá deity of agriculture. The name Ṣóyínká in full is Òrìṣàokoyínká which became shortened by a gradual declension to Ṣóókóyínká, Ṣóyímiká and finally to Ṣóyínká. It is the same for all the other “Ṣóó…” names. If a whole Professor Ṣóyínká, a master of literature and language can be thus mistaken on the derivation and meaning of his own name, what about we lesser mortals. It is in order to put these various misconceptions right that I am publishing this little work via this medium.
This list is by no means exhaustive and others inputs are welcome so it can be in writing for generations yet unborn so that the knowledge of the meaning of our names will not die out. Also, if you want to know the meaning of your Yorùbá name, you are welcome to ask. Àgbà ò ní tán lórílẹ̀ (the elders’ wise counsel will never be scarce in our midst).
The “Okù” (re|do) names like Okusanya, Okusaga etc are not derived from “Òkú” (dò|mí), a dead person. They are derived from “Okù“, the Ijebu deity of wealth which corresponds to “Ajé“, the Ọ̀yọ́ Yorùbá deity of wealth. Thus, Okùsànyà means the deity of wealth has rewarded me for my sufferings and not dead person has rewarded me for my sufferings.
Ọrẹ̀ (re|do)names like Oresanya. They do not derive from Ọ̀rẹ́, (dò|mí), friend, but from Ọrẹ̀, (re|do), a deity. A phrase like “A kìí ọmọ Ọrẹ̀ bọ Ọrẹ̀” (you don’t use the child of Ọrẹ̀ to propitiate Ọrẹ̀) comes to mind.
Igbin names like Onigbinde etc do not derive from ìgbín (do|mi), snail, but rather from Igbin, (re|re), a drum beaten for the Òrìṣàálá or Ọbàtálá worship. The ancestors of people bearing these names were drummers for Òrìṣàálá worshippers.
Ọ̀pẹ̀ (do|do) names like Opetola do not derive from Ọ̀pẹ, (do|re), palm tree, but rather from Ọ̀pẹ̀, (do|do), an Ifá appellation.
Ọnà (re|do) Onasanya; these names are not derived from ọ̀nà (road) but they derive from Ọnà (craft). The name bearers of these names would be people who were craftsmen like sculptors etc in their origin.
Alalade (re|mi|do|do|mi) does not derive from àlá (do|mi), dream, but derives from Àlà (do|do), white, symbol of purity – the insignia of the Òrìṣàálá or Ọbàtálá deity and it means the owner of àlá has come, the Òrìṣàálá devotee has come and not the dreamer has come as many have supposed it means.
Elégbèdé does not derive from egbé (re|mí) – the supposed magical means of teleporting – and is not supposed to be pronounced as Elégbédé (re|mi|mi|mi) as Sunny Ade sang it in one of the records, on the Erelú of Lagos. The name is derived from ègbè (do|do) meaning support. Thus, the name is more properly pronounced as Elégbèédé (re|mi|do|mi|mi) – the defender, the one who will fight or support my cause has come.
Onipede (re|mi|do|mi|mi) does not derive from ìpẹ́ (do|mi) fish scales, but derives from ìpẹ̀ (do|do) – consolation. So, it should not be pronounced as Onípẹ̀dẹ́ (re|mi|do|mi) the owner of scales has come but rather as Onípẹ̀ẹ́dẹ́ (re|mi|do|mi|mi) – the consoler has come.
Baba (re|re) and Ọba (re|re) name such Babasanmi, Babafemi Obasanjo do not derive from father or king. They both derive their roots from Ṣọ̀npọ̀nná, the deity of small-pox, which used to be referred to in reverent tone in olden days as Baba so that he would not kill them. If you will recall, in olden times, the marks left on the faces of anyone who recovered from small-pox attack used to be referred to as Ila-Baba, that is father’s marks. In Chief Olúṣẹ́gun Ọbásanjọ́’s book, My Watch, he gave us an insight into the origin of the names starting with Ọba. Such names are related to Ọbalúaiyé (also calledṢọ̀npọ̀nná), the deity of smallpox. So the Ọba in Ọbasanjọ́, and Ọbafẹ́mi, is derived from Ọbalúaiyé and not from king. So, Pastor Ọbafẹ́mi, in the hypothetical case mentioned above would do well to remove the log in his own eyes first by changing his own name first before insisting that Deacon Ògúnyẹmí should change his name.
Oloko (re|mi|do) does not derive from the word ọkọ̀ (re|do) – lorry or canoe and it does not mean the owner of a lorry or the owner of canoe, but it derives from the word ọ̀kọ̀ (do|do) – spear, and it means the owner, master or lord of the spear. It is a war title which has become a name. It is the title borne by the group of warriors whose chosen weapons of warfare is the spare.
Adekogbe (re|mi|do|mi) does not mean the crown rejects excreta as the word ìgbẹ́ (do|mi) in the name does not mean excreta; rather it means a bush or a light forest. The name means the crown rejects the bush, that is to say a prince shouldn’t be involved in manual labour or farming activities. Adékọ̀gbẹ́ is a name much favoured by the Ìjẹ̀bú, as they are of all Yorùbá tribes a tribe that is more averse to farm work or manual labour than any of the other Yorùbá tribes. They prefer to trade instead.
Adé (re|mi) names like Adeboye Adebayo, Adebola are not derived from Adé (crown) but rather they are derived from the verb dé which means to come. Adébóyè means he who came at a time when chieftaincy has just entered into the family. Adébáyọ̀ means he who comes to meet when a thing of joy has just come into the family and Adébọ́lá means he who comes to meet when wealth has just come into the family.
Apart from the misconstrued names, there are other names whose meanings are now recondite as many people no longer know what the names mean. Sadare, Sadela etc, these names derive from the Òrìṣàálá otherwise called Ọbàtálá deity. Ṣàdáre is an hyphenated form of Òrìṣàdáre. The word Orisha whenever used alone invariably refers to Ọbàtálá otherwise called Òrìṣànlá. So, those names are names of people named after the Òrìṣàálá deity. Ṣàdáre then would mean Ọbàtálá has vindicated (me). Ṣàdẹ̀kó would mean that an Ọbàtálá worshipper has arrived at Èkó (Lagos). Ṣàdẹ̀là would mean Ọbàtálá has arrived into wealth. Akeredolu (re|mi|mi|re|mi) means he who reduces himself in order to become a king. He who humbles himself to become a king like the title of that play “She Stoops To Conquer” by Oliver Goldsmith. Adewuyiì (re|mi|re|do) means the crown grows honour, that is, the crown produces honour. Olofa (re|mi|do) means the owner of arrows or the master or lord of arrows. It is another war title that has become a name and it is the title given to those whose weapons of war in battle is the bow and arrow, that is archers.
Alokolaro (re|mi|re|mi|do|mi) means he who has a large farm and also has a cooperative society to assist him to do the farm work. Aarọ́ is a cooperative system among the Yorùbá whereby the members agree to work jointly in the farm of each member of the group in turn until they have finished the farm-work of all the members.
Olowe (re|mi|do) means he who has an ọ̀wẹ̀ (do|do) cooperative group. Ọ̀wẹ̀ is another type of cooperative society whereby the members assist each other to work in the farm of each other. Olowe is thus somebody who has a large number of people at his beck and call whom he can call upon to assist him any time in his farm or other work
Apara (re|re|re) is short for Apara-ogun-bí–ẹní-palé (re|re|re|re|re|mi|re|mi|re|mi) implies he who sets war at naught. It means literally somebody who gets ready for war as easily as other people get ready for home affairs.
Okoya (re|mi|re) means the hoe has torn into pieces. It is an Àbíkú name. It implies an imploration to the Àbíkú not to die again as the hoe for burial has torn into pieces.
Ọkọ́ṣẹ́ means the hoe has broken, same as Ọkọ́ya.
Popoola (mi|mi|re|mi) means the avenue of Honour or nobility. Pópó (mi|mi) means a broad street or avenue, Ọlá means honour or nobility.
Adesiyan (re|mi|re|re) means the crown is good.
Adelabu (re|mi|mi) means the crown has passed through the deep (the sea).
Banmeke (mi|re|mi|mi) means hold or sustain the rafter of the house with me. Ẹkẹ (re|re) is the underlying structure upon which the leaves used to roof the house was be placed. It served the purpose now served by the rafter as forming the superstructure of the roof. It thus a very important part of the house or family.
Falade (mi|re|mi) means the god of divination has intermingled with royalty, probably a name given to a child who was born of an Ifá priesthood parent and a royal parent, like the mother of the first
Olowu (re|mi|re) who being a princess married his father’s priest.
Oláníyan (re|mi|mi|re) means nobility has swagger, that is to say noble people have a special way in which they carry themselves.
Adeleke or Délékè (re|mi|mi|do) means he who comes to become a very important part of the house. Eke (the rafter) being the superstructure of the roof. The Adé there is not crown but is from the verb dé meaning to come or arrive.
Oluwusi (re|mi|do|do) means kingship has increased. Adebosin (re|mi|mi|do) means he that came to meet kingship. Osinbajo (re|do|mi|do|do) – Ọṣìn-bọ̀-làjò – means the king has returned from a journey. Ọṣìn (re|do) means king. Bọ̀ means to come back from àjò (do|do) which means a journey. Asaju or Aṣíwájú (re|re|mi|mi) means the leader of the van. It is the war title of the chief of the unit that fights at the head of the army. Seriki derived from the Hausa word for king Sarkin. He is the head of all the junior war chiefs. Sarumi (do|do|mi) is another war title given to the head of the Cavalry, that is the unit of the army that fight with horses or on horseback. Aláásà (re|mi|mi|do) is a war title that has now become a name. It does not refer to aasa tobacco, but to asà (re|do) the shield. Aláásà means the owner or lord of the shield, that is the shield bearer, perhaps of the king.
Sadipe or. Òrìṣàdípẹ̀. The deity (Obatala) has used this one (the newly born baby) to console by using him to replace a loss recently suffered by the family.
Sonibare (mi|re|mi|mi) – Ṣọ́-ẹni-tí–ò-nbá-ṣe-ọ̀rẹ́ – means be careful in choosing whom you allow to get close to you.
Eesuola (do|mi|mi|re|mi) means the pool that is the reservoir of honour or nobility.
Bangbegbin (mi|re|mi|do) means assist me to carry the Igbin. It is a name borne by drummers for Orisala worship. (Igbin is the drum beaten in the worship of Òrìṣàálá/Ọbàtálá deity).
Tẹ̀là (Tẹ̀llà) (do|do) – Tẹ̀ẹ́-kó-là (do|mi|mi|do) – is a name borne only by Ọ̀yọ́ princes and it means bend or bow in order to become wealthy.
Oladoyinbo (re|mi|do|do|mi) – Ọlá-da-iyì-bòó – means Honour surrounds him.

Kotoye (do|mi|mi) is short for Kò-tó-yẹ́-sí (do|mi|mi|mi), which means not worthy of being honoured, a name given to a child believed to be an Àbíkú because the Yorùbá believe that such a child if shown any love or regard by being given sweet and affectionate names would go back to his group of bad children but if shown he is despised and of scant regard and is expected by his parents to die anytime, he would stay; because Abikus have a perverse tendency to do just the opposite of what you expect them to do. For that reason, they are given derogatory names like Kòtóyẹ́sí Ajá (dog) etc. Bamgbose (mi|re|mi|mi) means assist me in carrying the Oṣe, that is Sango’s wand. It is a name given to children born by Ṣàngó Copied
Ttalk: When you tell them about the role played by Tinubu, they will downplay it and say it doesn't matter.
They said raising IGR is nothing but hogwash, to them, IGR means nothing and should not be used as a yardstick to measure the performance of a governor.
This makes me wonder why everyman including Tinubus critics strives to grow their income. Every worker wants a pay rise, and a businessman wants a higher profit, but Tinubus critics say IGR doesn't reflect in the standard or the people.
How do you raise your standard of living if you can't generate enough income to meet your needs?
They are so delusional and fancies the feeding bottle arrangement where every state depends on the FG to meet its needs. No wonder their forefathers were the ones that truncated regional autonomy while the children keep maintaining it.
How do you rationalize people that are against the state's collection of VAT?
Now we are seeing the wonders that a high IGR can do for a state. Today, Lagos is setting another record in sub-Saharan Africa by modernizing its transport system.
Let other states increase their IGR so they can embark on transformational projects, I'm sick and tired of people defending mediocre when they should be talking, a state like Anambra should be on the course if the foundation laid by Chris Ngige to generate income for the state have been kept by the subsequent governors, today, Anambra has dropped on that ladder and it would take the state 7years budget to do what Lagos will do in a year with its budget of 1.7 trillion.
Let's all charge our state governors to perform and stop celebrating mediocrity.
If Tinubu has done it in Lagos, he will do it again at the federal level.
Vote Bola Ahmed Tinubu,
The money has always always always been in lagos. What Tinubu has just done is to collate those money and made the numbers readable. And introduced relatively effective tolling and taxation. This is commendable. The point however is that the money has always always always been their. Lagos has always been a special city. Mind you, he can't do much if he had been the governor of Osun. There wont be enough money to make whatever tolling and taxation be really meaningful
See how things are done in better countries. LP has shown us we can have our dignity back by the way they have promptly addressed Okupes case. How many APC and PDP big men have resigned even when faced with significant accusations? If you want a dignified country, you know what to do. If you want things to be done differently, you know what to do. If you want to uproot our tormentors, you know what to do. DON'T PLAY
jumper524: as at 1st quater of 2014, more than 25 local government were under the control of bokoharam, infact, soldiers were restricted to just the capital city of maiduguri. as at 2nd half of 2014, the soldiers went on rampage and claimed more than 10 local govt, Bokoharam for the first time felt the heat, but the army couldn't sustain the effort, they were short of manpower as the army only started to technically recruit massively from 2012, a lot of those boys died in war front due to Ill experience, 4 months training instead of the supposed 6months and with insufficient training materials. besides dasuki looted 2l4 billion dollar meant for arms purchase that would have improved the situation. 2015, more local govt were still under bokoharam apcaptivity but today no single local govt under bokoharam. they operate in some deep forest withing some local govt and also disguise in public space as regular citizens. but they no longer control the local govt like they did in the past, they've been relegated from attacking at will to having the most casualties in their own planned attack. take it or leave, disguise it or not. Taraba is a very much safe state compared to when jonathan was there, maiduguri on the other hand has finally experienced a large chunk of peace. In the Fight against Bokoharam, Buhari did way better.
You are a liar. Taraba didn't experience much atrocities by terrorists during Jonathan's period. Their activities were more or less focused on the area around sambisa. They were predominantly in Maiduguri,Kebbi and Gombe. Jonathan in the very later years if his tenure dislodge them from the local governments they were holding. However, in Buharis time, we now have not only Boko Aram in Northeast area, but we now have bandits almost everywhere in the north and north central. We have Iswap in the northwest, BokoAram in the northeast, Ansaru in niger, Kogi, and Kaduna, IPOB in the south east and Bandits everywhere. No major interstate roads are free any longer under Buhari. You can't force your lies on everyone. We are not all suffering from amnesia.
14 LGA and not 17 was controlled by Boko Haram and not ISWAP
Lol
Is this a fact check or a further indictment on PDP
Election were postponed due to insecurity, even PDP proposed state of emergency in some of this areas and was rejected by National Assembly and APC Governors
Jonathan even had to get South African mercineries since Dasuki had share $2billion Arms deal fund to PDP members
I hope PDP goes to Brono and Yobe to campaign with this
.
Lie all you want. We are all not suffering from amnesia. Jonathan in those few weeks before the election dislodge those elements from many places. At his handling over, no local government was in their hands. Elections were held everywhere
The bible clearly doesn't encourage polygamy because these kind of things. Some people try to twist the bible. This man early life was obviously sweet, but see how he is ending
