Is Dele Momodu a PDP cheiftain? If Yes, then that political party is second largest congregation of dullards anywhere in the world

Lagos is by far the most industrialized State in Nigeria, The population is like 1/10th of the total Nigerian Population which makes it the best sample size to experiment whatever hypothesis and project u believe in


If a former Lagos designer should fail, then there's no hope for one Adamawa tourist with a golf-club head

He's done it before in Lagos, He will do it again in Nigeria

Yesterday, Governor Sanwo-Olu inspected the progress of work at the stations along the Red Line Rail in anticipation of the commissioning.

It's crucial to emphasize that the railway tracks are designated for transportation and not for commercial activities or as a market space.

The railway tracks are NOT a market place for you to display and sell your wares.

Average Cost Of 1GB Of Mobile Data Worldwide.

"Average in the world" means you add them all together and divide by how many there are.

Track records speak more than words, I voted him based on his past records that outshine that of other contestants

If tinubu could b struggling like this, I wonder what would have become of other candidates

DeLaRue:
During Buhari's government, Nigeria, through the CBN, was spending according to some estimates, more than $12billion per year to maintain 2 exchange rates N440, and I think N570 to a dollar.

That $12 billion dollars was effectively a subsidy.

By the time Buhari left, Nigeria had just about $3.5 billion in its account. It is from that amount that we have to pay our debts and pay for imports of goods.

As you can see, Nigeria no longer had the $12 billion dollars required to keep naira/dollar rate at less than N600. So the current government had no choice but to give up on trying to subsidise the naira.

If Atiku or any other candidate had won, they would have had no choice than to follow the same path.

It is like buying a BMW when you had money. If you no longer have money to maintain it, what do you do, you give it up. No be so?

Your friends and neighbours who see you taking Okada will call you stupid for giving up such a beautiful car. But, younno longer have know what they don't know - you no longer have the money to maintain the car.

This is exactly where Nigeria is at present.

From who

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arraigned the former Minister of Power and Steel, Mr Olu Agunloye, before Justice Donatus Okorowo of the Federal High court, over allegations of fraud.
Mr Agunloye was brought before the court on Wednesday where he pleaded not guilty to the charges read against him.

The Judge ordered that he be remanded in Kuje Correctional center, pending when the bail would be granted.

The EFCC in December 2023, declared Agunloye wanted on an alleged case of forgery and corruption. In a communique shared by the Commission on X and its website, the former minister’s image was displayed with a message urging the public to provide information that could lead to his arrest.

Shortly after the EFCC’s alert, Agunloye was apprehended and detained.

Digging deeper into the case, it was discovered that the minister who served under President Olusegun Obasanjo’s government (1999-2003), was being quizzed in connection with the Mambilla project.

Obasanjo had accused him of fraudulently awarding the contract for the project without the Federal Executive Council (FEC) approval. But Agunloye denied the accusations and claimed the former president was distorting facts.
Rights, and the pursuit of Justice

Agunloye’s travails generated a lot of reactions from Nigerians. Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka while weighing-in on the matter, questioned the EFCC’s action.
In his statement titled – “In pursuit of justice, productivity, under the rule of law,” Soyinka argued that the practice of citizen detention at the whim of either religious blackmail or secular arrogation demands curtailment at source, most especially when exercised in defiance of the law, and the pronouncements of its agencies.

“The immediate provocation for these reflections is the ongoing predicament of a former Minister of Power, Dr. Olu Agunloye, currently detained by the EFCC, in total contempt of sense and justice, or indeed, basic humane considerations. We shall not go into the merit or demerits of the charges raised against him over a 16-year-old project that bears the name Mambilla. –that is the business of the law courts,” Soyinka wrote.

“Our concern at this moment is however only partially on the basis of individual fundamental human rights. Most fortuitously, the detention of any former public servant under circumstances such as Agunloye also provokes the question: how is public interest – such as the pursuit of justice – served by such an arbitrary exercise of power?’’

The Lagos State Government has assured that its Rail Mass Transit Red Line is on course for the planned unveiling in March with all of its infrastructure nearing completion.

Giving an update in a video obtained by The PUNCH on Monday, the Managing Director, Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority, Mrs Abimbola Akinajo, said the agency was “confident and comfortable that we will meet the deadline that Mr Governor has given us.”

Akinajo said the tracks for the rail system were 95 per cent completed while the eight train stations being built as part of the Red Line infrastructure were “literally completed.”

“We are implementing eight stations and that is all the way from Agbado. We have a station at Agbado, we have a station in Iju, we have a station in Agege, we have a station in Ikeja, we have a station in Mushin, we have a station in Oshodi, Oyingbo and Yaba. Now, all those stations as a point of update are literally completed. We have most of them, except Yaba, 99.9 per cent completed.

“Yaba, at the moment, is about 89 per cent completed. Now, from where we’re sitting, that means that we are confident and comfortable that we will meet the deadline that Mr Governor has given us. In terms of the track work, we’re done. If you remember, this is the one line that we’re sharing with the NRC tracks,” she said

The LAMATA MD added that Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu had procured two sets of trains for the Red Line operations, saying, “So, we’re very confident that it will be completed by the first quarter of 2024.

“Now for us, if you will also remember, Mr Governor had procured two sets of trains. Those will be ready for the testing and operations that will start immediately after the unveiling of the rail system.
“So, we expect that to start come the beginning of March, the middle of March and that will allow us to begin to test and also to work the interfaces between NRC.”

The PUNCH reports that Sanwo-Olu had said that President Bola Tinubu would unveil the first phase of the Lagos Red Line rail in the first quarter of 2024.
