Lagos is the richest and most developed state because it’s the commercial hub of Nigeria. It’s like that in every country see London in UK and New York in the US. It has been that way since the British were in charge here when Tinubu was still a baby. It’s mainly because of the vibrant private sector and commercial activity that comes with being a major port city and gateway to a country. Stop giving undue credit to people like Tinubu who only took advantage of this status to enrich themselves. Lagos should be a city on the same level as Dubai if our leaders were any good.

Nicely spoken.

You'd think that for a start, all Lagos roads will be paved, but for where

You'd think they would have covered drainage, but for where, open gutters next to a house that cost $1,000,000; Only in Naij

What do you want to see in the dark video, soldiers , dead bodies? There is nothing in any video that is not already public knowledge. Tell your celebrities to provide the damning evidence they have. Since you claimed a "massacre" occur, you must provide real evidence, not rumors or deceptive narration. That is how investigation and justice works in sane societies.

The guy simply said, play CCTV video, and you are responding with an epistle

They are already congregating like roaches in the dark, drawn to the foul smell of our rotten politicians.

Some of them on this forum are willing to lay their lives down for Tinubu and the rest.

I just wish these roaches can be gone, #baygon!

TecM0:
Support who you want stop wailing about other people's choice

That your propaganda on Tinubu failed doesn't mean you can't support your Peter Obi and OC SARS James Nwafor in peace

Bla bla bla

It's like Nigerians are caught in some genjutsu

Repeating the same cycle over and over and over and over and ...

Izanami!

people are still beating drums for Tinubu

soon people will start beating drums for Atiku

and I thought Nigerian youths had finally woken up


but really, did someone curse Nigeria?

So all this protests was for nothing, sigh

I'm starting to lose hope in Nigeria and believe those who think this country will never get better.

Same youths are on here ready to mortgage another 8 years because of tribe.

Black man won't even give you a 'DAY PASS', for wheree

it's N200 g0, N200 c0me,

N200 g0, N200 c0me,

oh you forgot something at home? That will be

N200 g0, N200 c0me

Is this how these guys want to be governors in Lagos state, destroy one income generating asset for the state in the name of politics? If you do not like the toll gate, there are a thousand and one places in Lagos without toll gate you can stay in. If you even stay in Lekki axis, you can even use the alternative routes to avoid paying.

The toll gate they removed nation wide made our highway worse than when it existed to the extent that they are considering building new ones on our highways

abeg sharrap ya mat deeer, bissh

let us start with putting toll gate at your house.

I don't know why these guys will just carry rumors everywhere. Look, in Yankee that you guys like to brag about, there is ALWAYS AN ALTERNATIVE TO A TOLLED HIGHWAY, and that alternative is not a one lane new market road

spits

A thieving project that has cost Lagosians BILLIONSSSS!!....

For a 10km road that was just meant to be repaired oh

and then we continue paying BILLIONSSS for same 10km road FOREVER BA?

A road that people were already using to go to their house, wickedness.

Yet, on the road, no light, no lanes, no service lanes, chai, Nigeria

tamdun:
So u want Lagos to close one of their major source of income, e b like say old age dey worry bode gorge

Let them put toll gate in front of your own house, so that you too can contribute to Lagos income.

I'm sure you were one of the people that were saying "lekki guys can pay" when the toll gate first started.

They must put toll gate in front of your house, walahi!!

Scrap the toll gate at victoria island, leave the one at lekki phase 1 that links to ikoyi.

Reason:

The lekke-epe road was already in existence, they just repaired it and started tolling it. Meanwhile, didn't fashola buy back the license to that road

While the lekki-ikoyi link bridge, was never there before, new infrastructure. If you want to toll it, go ahead!


See ehn, if you want to build new infrastructure and toll it, I don't think people will mind. Don't just come and put gate in front of peoples houses and then start collecting toll. now they even had the nerve to increase the toll fee from N120 to N200, IMAGINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A road that was already there before....


As I said, if you want to build some new ambitious project, like say another bridge that goes straight from the island to mainland and you decide to toll it, no one will argue with you.

Very soon, when the Chinese flood Nigeria with cheap electric cars, we won't be seeing too many tankers again

Men to refill these days in a station with a "live" tanker dey fear me

acenazt:
are we building? This is what has been built.

Men so sad bro!

When you look DEEPLY at each sector of this country, it just rings you close to tears.

I wonder if our police even do mugshots and fingerprint people they arrest, but then what computer will they use to store the info?

I'm so angry at Nigeria, these are very simple things.

I'm so disgusted at those nairalanders supporting that soldier yesterday.

People can be so callous with their words when stuff doesn't concern them directly.

If soldiers were to also flog this guys, they would be the one to cry the most!!

Nigeria is full of wicked people men

and some nairalanders where already supporting the soldier yesterday.

Look at this comment that got close to 300 likes

GreatResearcher:
I'm not supporting assault but the lady got what she deserved. Watch the video very well you will see that the lady deliberately wanted the soldier to beat her so she can post it on the internet and trend. Even when people begged her to leave she thrown herself on the soldier.

Modified:
Whenever you see a soldier or officer in military uniform, it's most likely that he or she is on official duty.
These men while on duty try to steal a little time from their busy schedule to attend to their personal needs.

That is why most of them when the go to ATM stand they try to beat the queue because of their limited time.

This soldier went to the ATM stand as you can see his dressing. There's 90% possibility that he is on duty.

He tried to beat the queue. Instead of the lady to speak to him politely she started with insults.

Was the lady the only person at that ATM?

The soldier annoyance was she bringing out her phone to record the soldier.

That was when the soldier puts his wallet in his pocket and brought out his belt.

He didn't even beat her o.

She wanna trend that's all.

You can always count on Nigerians to support evil.

ALWAYS.

well thank God the soldier was arrested.

I've been to some police stations in Nigeria and did not find one single computer anywhere.

Not for their oga or for their staff!

The only things I saw running were chickens outside.

What gives? What kind of nation are we building?

Pay police minimum wage of N100,000 - N150,000, even if that means having less officers.

I'd rather have a single LION than one hundred sheep.

Tell me why some roads in Nigeria should be bad in the first place.

We are not even asking for Julius Berger contract, just hire 100 boys with interlocking stone.

Na wa for evil leaders.

Acidosis:
You have the right to call in the army. Northerners do this a lot. If the Lekki shooting is referred to as massacre of harmless civilans, then we shouldn't be hypocrites. Those guys that invaded TVC, BRT, Lagos High Court, etc are terrorists.

If Nigeria were not some banana republic, were people can defecate on the highway while police drive by, then private citizens would not be able to call the army.

Fvck all these godfathers from Lagos all the way to Delta

In Lagos, here, just one day's revenue from the toll gate is enough to fix all the roads in sattelite, festac, alakija, ajegunle...


In Delta, Just one months revenue is enough to transform a section of the state to dubai


But these leaders must have it all to themselves only, all the cash for roads, water and light, spent buying fancy cars, spending on mistresses, flexing, flying private jets...

......


I submit myself for election in any Nigerian post. I will account for every single Kobo, with each expenditure being listed on the website relative to the government position I hold.

If I were local governor, first line of business, cover all the open gutters, ALL OF THEM. Hire boys, boys and more boys, miscreants, all of them, because we are going to be building roads, roads, roads; All inner roads. We can save awon julius berger for interstate roads.


WE YEARN FOR GODLY LEADERSHIP AT ALL LEVELS IN THIS COUNTRY.

Acidosis:
Your analysis is wrong. As a citizen of Nigeria, I have the rights to call the Nigerian Police Force to shoot at sight anyone that threatens to take my life or destroy my property.

It is your right as a citizen to call the police or the army. Tinubu said he did not call the police/army even though he was alerted prior to the attack.

I wouldn't do that if I were in his shoes. That's my point.

I see the way you cleverly snuck the army in there, mtcheew

of course every citizen has the right to call the police, duuuuuuuuuhhh!


We are talking about if citizens have the right to call in the army.

JoeEeL:
FFK, I never believed one day would come that I would be on your side. Chai, Naija you must good! Because he behaves silly at times, I used to think FFK was a mere noisemaker and rabble-rouser until I heard a full speech on the growing menace of terrorism in this country and that is as far back as 2014.

All what this man had been saying was quite true menn. Since then I give him respect, even though he's still quite stuupid.

Here's the link:

What a video bro, almost crying now!

We will win the war against these baaaastards

Acidosis:
You people should be realistic with your analysis. If E-money could order 4 police escorts, why can't Tinubu do the same?

What Tinubu said is 100% correct. If I have the kind of money and influence he's got for himself, none of those vandals would return home the same way.

This is the corruption sane Nigerians are fighting against, yet you see nothing wrong with it.

Why should a regular citizens have the power to summon the army?

Even Amazon and Facebook CEOs don't have the power to summon the U.S army.

But of course in the corruption capital of the world, 5k will get you soldiers with arms at your beck and call.

walefresh3:
I pity my igbo people. I don dey tell them make them commot mourt for tinubu matter. the campaign don change hand. tinubu don dey gain symperty from grassroots. so 2023 dey very sure for him. but make you naa no use you naa head carry wahala for Lagos. make you naa stay clear from Lagos politics

Igbos should remove mouth from Lagos politics?

Look at this rif-raff

BeLookingIDIOT:
You guys will still talk nonsense... soldiers that even ordinary citizens use
He owns TVC, what's his connection with the Lekki toll gate?

You are just admitting to the ills of this country.

What other country can regular citizens summon the army?

Rich4god:
Tell us how the Igbos are giving other tribes headache.

Last I remember I haven't seen Igbos attacking people for the fun of it.

that is ehn!!!

Everyday you read the news of people being killed up north, to the point that we are almost numb to such news, which is sad by the way. However, with all the killings, it's still igbos that are the problem, na wa

Oya igbos are the problem, let us divide the country and vote for new countries, they say no!

Okay, let us restructure, they say no!

Na wa for black man sha

Yet the country you all are fighting for was created by a white man!

Chai, Physical slavery may have died (for the most part), but MENTAL SLAVERY IS STILL ALIVE!

DenreleDave:
Agreed. Infact eliminate all

But attacking ours and keeping ur is a big No No.

We will rather protect him.. Since u Wana protect urs

lol, you are protecting your criminal?

and you said it with such force and power

na wa for naija, it's just sad.

On one had you admit that someone is a criminal, then you still support him because of xyz

Do you also support evil because of xyz...

The way Nigerians reason is the reason the country is the way it is. Or do you think it's a mistake that all these negative qualifiers are attached to Nigeria?

#PovertyCapital, #CorruptionCentral #ExtremePoliceBrutality #PoorElectricity #419...

It's because of people like you who will always support evil for whatever reason and then turn around and expect that evil to somehow transform your society. MADNESS!

Now you will start asking for my tribe. This is why I pray Nigeria separates, so that the majority tribe can at least convict their corrupt leaders without using other tribes as an excuse.

Disgusting really!

Next, you will tell me to also condemn some other evil politician, like I supported them in the first place.

Left to me, you can put them all in Jail! Are you happy? NO! Because no matter what, you will still find a reason (xyz) to support evil.

God forbid.

lathrowinger:
U bring out your leaders too. Let's treat them equal. Tinubu is not even handling any government project, he is not on power. Channel your energy to buhari, osibanjo, hammed lawal and so on...

Which one is bring out your leaders to?
You see how your brain is wired to think that any criticism against a leader in Nigeria is influenced mainly by tribe.

I was telling someone that Nigerians always forget.

No matter what you do to them, they will forget by the next day.

I opened a thread on Tinubu and was shocked a lot of people are still supporting him. Only in Nigeria!

abbey621:
He's not going to contest because he makes more money sponsoring those in power. Let's just say, as long as he does not contest for political office, he does not have to declare his assets and he can keep people guessing just how much billions he makes in a year. Furthermore, let's not deceive ourselves, this man will play a major role in who becomes the next governor of LAgos state, the next president of Nigeria. He don talk am, he remains the jagaban!

So after all the deaths and protests, it still falls back to supporting your tormentor

Sigh Naija, what is wrong
