Don't mind them. They don't know that the idea to build the bridge came from Peter Obi.

Guess where Peter Obi got the idea from

Hahahahahaha!

I love this clap back.

Very good project powered by Niger Delta oil money. Lagos was being developed as our federal capital with money from Nigeria's main source of funds, crude oil.

There are federal projects all over Nigeria regardless of where the capital is or was sited.

Lagos is also a state, with a state government and a state budget that is expended on infrastructures too.

If your state is barren, then do not blame it on the lack of being a federal capital or former federal capital.

Lagos state was built by our money hence why we refer it as a no man's land. 😀

Lagos State like every other state in Nigeria receives federal allocations.

That does not stop the siting of federal projects in the state as with any other state.

Most importantly, that does not stop every state in Nigeria from focusing on internally generated revenue like Lagos state has excelled.

You mean your state has no federal roads or projects?

How does all these answer the question that Obi domiciled Anambra funds in his own bank when he was Governor?

Or that he invested Anambra public funds in his own Brewery?

Or how does sitting in Economy class explain the fact that it was when Obi had access to the state treasury as a public official, that he saw the need to create secret offshore accounts under his daughter's name to hide stupendous wealth?

Wait till 2027 election.

That is the only power the Constitution recognizes.

Any other attempt will be crushed.

Typical.

Same strikes, delayed payments, waste of public funds etc.

Then the extra crime of investing state funds in his own Brewery, while also domiciling state funds in a bank he was the previous chairman, thereby acting as a great marketer for his own bank.

This is useful information for the general public to assess their vehicles before knocking their engines.

However, he expressed his intention to return to his national service roles once circumstances allow.

“I look forward to returning to full-time national service when time, healing, and fate permit,” Ngelale added.

Spoken like a patriot.

I pray his family receive healing.

Make e no be cancer sha.

That monster has destroyed many happy homes.

Exactly....no matter who is doing the removal, subsidy eradication in what ever guise was going to be tough on the people ...there is no easy way out to changing a life giver of the people without causing pain.

Exactly!

Being the first state to attempt to break the monopoly of the defunct National Electric Power Authority (NEPA), with the initiation of the Enron Power Project on August 1, 1999, coupled with the recent inauguration of a transformer manufacturing factory, Lagos State has maintained its pioneering role in power projects in Nigeria, Ejiofor Alike, writes

Enron Experiment
At the peak of the abysmal performance of the defunct National Electric Power Authority (NEPA), now Power Holding Company of Nigeria(PHCN), Lagos State under the then Governor, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, became the first state to attempt to break the monopoly of the ailing power giant by initiating a giant Independent Power Project(IPP).
On August 1, 1999, the Tinubu-led administration, Yinka Folawiyo Power Limited and Enron Corporation of the United States signed an agreement for an IPP, with the Federal Government as the guarantor.
The barge-mounted electricity generating plant was to be located adjacent to the NEPA’s Egbin Power Station, Nigeria’s biggest power plant.

The generating facility was originally designed to consist of nine barge-mounted combustion turbines with a total net output of 290megawatts of electricity...


“...In June 2001, the IPP began commercial operations and NEPA began to purchase capacity and energy under the BPPA.
‘However, in clear breach of the BPPA and the spirit of the Contribution Agreement, NEPA failed and or refused to devote any or all of the electrical output of the IPP to customers in the areas designated in the BPPA submitted for its contribution by NEPA,” the state said.

Very impressed that this project began operations less than 2years from when it was initiated.

The current Power Minister employed by the same Bola Tinubu who achieved this as Governor, should employ this model all over the country.

This should be a throwback topic. Very informative.

Stable electricity is a direct substitute to fuel that was why Obi traveled himself all the way to Egypt to get a solution for our epileptic Power supply.

Obi had it all planned out how to go about it because he was with Jonathan's economic team that wanted to remove the subsidy your Tinubu removed without a template.

So Obi would have done better and Nigerians won't be suffering like this.

Your misconception is to think any candidate that won election in 2023 would have provided Nigeria with stable electricity by 2024.

Will the funds drop from heaven like rain, and would the infrastructure just appear and start working like an imagination?

Tinubu as far back as 1999 with only few months in office as Governor, already understood the need for improved power and the means to get it done, so he appraoched Enron in the USA to come to Lagos and set up an IPP.

But you are talking about a Peter Obi that went to Egypt to get campaign talking points in 2022.

Why did Obi not go to Egypt when he was Governor?

OVH is 100% owned by NNPC.

I did not want to believe I was reading a Kperogi topic.

Terrible misinformation all round.

I read a lot of ignorance on this topic.

Israel's success in life should be his priority for now.

Marriage is not necessarily a successful venture for everyone, including those who stay married.

I reckon those whose institutions were irresponsible with their applications have finally become responsible.

Keep buying fuel at 1200 and rising inflation every minute. Keep defending this calamity as well. Funny enough, the worse the economy the more some of us earn. still, we ain't defending the dullard. Your types are already coming out in regrets.

Some of you also include those who voted for the winner of the election that became President, and they are earning better than you.

Defense or support for a government in power, has nothing to do with the election that produced that government.

MEEVEET:
You can't do the right thing and get bullied online that's a big lies.. Because there must be people to defend you

Once you start locking your account you know dee down you have done bad job

Because online majority carry the vote...

What is the right thing to an election loser?

That the loser must have been declared the winner?

What then is the right thing to the alternate loser?

No matter how you dice it, a loser and the supporters would always be angry.

Donald Trump has proven this to be a global phenomenon with his behavior after he lost his re-election in 2020.

Agungi road leading up to Milverton Estate is always an eyesore due to flooding and poor drainage.

It is only in Nigeria that even those driving RangeRovers are living inside filth.

Is September 2022 more recent than January 2023 when it was just 1month to the election he lost to Tinubu, and he made the below vow to remove subsidy immediately?

The day Nigerians decide that they cannot live without fuel subsidy, Peter Obi who believes in subsidy removal on the 1st day in office would not be their choice, so stop trying to force it.

No consumer would deliberately purchase an expired product that Peter Obi represents.

Unlike Peter Obi, Omoyele Sowore vowed not to remove subsidy, but only about 14,000 Nigerians voted for him, the least of which came from the SouthEast who preferred to vote their tribal brother at almost 100%, so no votes left for any other candidate to score in the SouthEast.

22million Nigerians voted for Tinubu, Atiku, and Obi who all vowed to remove subsidy, instead of Sowore.

Elections do have consequences.
