If I trust and throw my weight behind a man, and then the man fails/disappoints, there's absolutely no law in any of the books of life which states I don't reserve the right to criticise the same person. This is actually common sense isnt it?

If the man was predicted based on previous track record to be a monumental failure and you still vote him and then turn around to 'criticise' him for the very same things he was predicted to do, that is nothing short of mercurial stupidity.

Really?

You hired a tailor to make a table for you and you're here complaining that the table looks like agbada?!

What did you expect?

You should have been in the forefront of campaigning for someone with capacity other than GEJ, OBJ OR GMB

Wrecking Nigeria with misinformation just for traffic & ad revenue

...... anyway na d same tin SaharaReporters / Omojuwa & YNaija dey do dey form activist...

Do the one we can see, touch & feel.

The roads you did have come undone.

Your legacy to date is Bus Stop, Lay-by, Street Light & Roundabout.

What a Governor!

Sad

Okay

Was he using a PDP ATM?

As he would.

When a person raises that he does not have the monopoly of falsehood in one's own party talk less of the general citizenry the next move is to try to regulate falsehood.

Don't tell lies. The government hates competition

Why do people use religion to manipulate others?

Let's see what LASIEC comes up with.

The State Governor appears to be privy to all the results before official release

staggerman:
As a safety professional, I do not agree with the op.
The risk of visiting a petrol station is very low.... That's why you can visit or send kids to buy petrol without first requesting for the fire service to be on standby

As long as you have all hazards under proper control, and risked reduced to As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP), you have nothing to worry about.

Most petrol stations are designed to be safer than your domestic kitchen.
Yet you freely walk in and out of your kitchen, ignite your cooker, without fear of the open flame.
You probably have your dining and sitting room close to your kitchen.
Your kitchen is also part of your house, and not detached from the main building.
As per having fire detectors, gas detectors, fire extinguisher and fire blanket in your kitchen to deem it safe, that's story for another day.

Enjoy your day

Kindly apprise which safety certification you possess to enable cross referencing with your stated assertions

greenpasture:
First off this is not a new development. There is a hotel on top of a petrol station in toyin street that has been there for over 10 years. An environmental impact assessment was carried out and the design was allowed.

Such designs are common abroad, particularly on freeways.

Such petrol stations generally have deeper underground tanks and a whole plethora of fail safe devices which makes them more expensive to build than conventional stations.

Having said this, anyone is at liberty to decide whether a particular risk is too high for them and to act accordingly. I would therefore not criticize you for not using one of such stations. I only want to correct the impression that these represent administrative oversights or errors. This is not true. These designs must comply with stringent conditions for such builds.

Have a great week.

Can you vouch with your word that this structure the OP complained about has been properly certified?

Can you vouch that ANY such structure in Nigeria has been properly certified?

Feel free to list those you know

Okay,

Why this should be an issue is somewhat of a mystery.

Why do we pay tax
Why do developers pay separate monitoring fees (that should normally be included in the standard building application fees)
Why do developers pay the ubiquitous infrastructure development levy?

All this and the government then 'allocates' land on drainage channels to people?

No excuses please, it's been the same party in power for 18 years!

Nma27:
Even abroad, filling stations has grocery stores where u can buy your chilled drinks... So your drink argument holds no water.

Grocery Store is different from event centre/eatery
Nigeria is different from abroad (responsiveness to incidents)

Below is an account by Hon. Oladipo Olaitan, the National Financial Secretary of Afenifere given in an interview with the Vanguard Newspapers,


"In 1993, I contested for the Senate in Lagos here with Tinubu, Odi Onikosi of blessed memory and Dominic. Tinubu was just coming into politics at that time.

On the day of that election, we were all filed up, you know it was Option A4. Sarunmi was the person we knew as nobody knew Tinubu then, so Sarumi stood in front. Sarumi was the head of their group then known as Primrose.

It started to rain so heavily that the electoral officers asked us to go home, but to our chagrin, some people came back, and they were counted, and the rest is history, and that is how Tinubu emerged as a senator, and we all left it. That is when also Bucknor-Akerele also emerged with four votes at the Island."

Optimistic.

See the caliber of 7 passed

How do you say someone fulfilled a promise to make something public but finish the sentence with 'but the details are yet to be provided'.

Very nonsensical deductions.

Mere presentation of a strategy makes the cut

Wash article.

Before

Okay,

Misleading headline as usual

Most Nigerians have a healthy disdain for Health & Safety!

"Everybody will die someday, it won't be today don't worry"

That's why you closed them down for two years?

I have witnessed a location where a RESIDENTIAL BUILDING was converted to a FILLING STATION.

Located in a built up residential area with poor traffic movement for trailers or normal passenger vehicles.

Accident waiting to happen.

Lives waiting to be lost

martineverest:
Will u blame govt for this?

Who certifies buildings?
Who monitors building construction?
Who provides security for the citizenry?
Who collects tax?

This, once again is a failure of the government.

A willingness to barter human lives for money

bayocanny:
With all your grammar you are still not making sense.

What language do you prefer? I can do a Google translate

If only Lagos knew how much more beautiful she could be.

Many have decided that the Lion of Bourdillon will rule in perpetuity. This is understandable if one is fairly on in years, probably gone past 60, for young'uns however, how do you let go of so much potential, so much hope, so much possibility, so much wealth, so much fun, so much achievement with so many years ahead of you?

DO YOU KNOW HOW SO MUCH BETTER LAGOS CAN BE?


DO YOU?

stinggy:
Ago Palace way road was built with drainages at both sides. People like you blocked those drainages with their indiscriminate dumping activities. Should Ambode be blamed here? Should people be taught every minute to dispose wastes properly?

Would this be Open Drainage or Closed Drainage?

obailala:
GEJ?... Tufia! Had GEJ been in charge of Nigeria in 2016 when oil dropped to $28 and everything went south, the Op wouldn't have even had the data to open this thread.

Just shows you how Low we have sunk. After 2 years of Change the OP can actually open a thread that compares the two men when instead the Jonathan era should have been consigned to the dustbin of our mediocre past.

APC/Buhari and his minions have rebased mediocrity. Congrats!

I voted neither and will vote neither still. Yes my ballot was counted as void but am happy (and sad). We should have located a much better candidate than these two men.
