A model state of how to tax the people and steal their money
Addis Ababa got their light rail up and running in four years and for a fraction of the billions of dollars that Tinubu, Fashola and Ambode have spent with absolutely nothing to show for it in almost 20 years.

APC is corruption. Corruption is APC.

Exactly, the bourdillon slavery continues!

Our people never ask questions of their leaders!

A few days ago, AutoReportNG did an assessment of the Lagos Rail Mass Transit, we are able to see the workers were faring at the site and how things are done in order to make things work. In this post, we will be looking at the trains, what it looks like and some other interesting pictures you would not want to miss.

It was reported in 2011 when the former governor of Lagos State, Mr Babatunde Fashola inspected some H5 and H6 cars in Canada according to reports, " A company called Eko Rail has a deal to buy 255 H5 and H6 cars from the TTC to furnish a 27-kilometre surface rail line in Lagos, Nigeria." We are not sure if this is the same train or maybe the Lagos state government had a change of mind and gave the contract to the Chinese firm or what, we are yet to conclude, but no matter the case, we will keep you posted

A former governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido, on Thursday said his presidential ambition was not out of desperation for power, but for genuine service to the people of Nigeria.

Mr. Lamido made the statement in Lagos during a meeting with members of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the state.

He said his decision to contest for the number one seat in the country was out of commitment to fix the country and reposition it for greatness.

The former governor said the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) had not done well in government, and so must be flushed out in the next election.

Mr. Lamido said the country had not fared better in security, economy and anti -graft war, on which they anchored their manifesto.

He cited the herdsmen killings and the resurgence of Boko Haram atrocities as some of the failings of the present government.

Mr. Lamido said the abduction of Dapchi schoolgirls, who were eventually returned, reflected the lack of capacity of the present government government to ensure security.

He urged the PDP to put its acts together to defeat the APC in 2019.

“We in the PDP should put our acts together and ensure we flush APC out in 2019.

“God would judge us if we allow the APC to return to power,” the ex-governor who is being prosecuted for corruption, said.

Mr. Lamido urged the would-be delegates to the PDP national convention to look out for merit, consistency and loyalty to the party in choosing the party’s presidential candidate.

He said he was eminently qualified to pick the party ‘s ticket as he was consistent, committed and an avowed member of the PDP.

Mr. Lamido thanked members of the Lagos PDP for the warm reception accorded him and thanked the party chairman in the state for facilitating his coming to Lagos.

He said he once worked in Lagos and felt at home being with the PDP family in the state.

In his comments, the state party chairman, Moshood Salvador, said members were delighted to have Lamido in their midst.

He said the high turnout at the reception showed how much members loved him.

Mr. Salvador dismissed the insinuations in some quarters that PDP was divided in the state.

He said the fact that party executives across the state were at the reception meant that PDP in the state was one.

“PDP is not divided in the state. All the council excos are here. Everybody is here. The party is not divided.

“Whatever bad people are saying about the party in the state is nothing but all lies,” he said.

Mr. Salvador said he had done a lot to reposition the party since he was elected, and the spirit in the party was very high.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Lamido was accompanied on the visit by former Minister of Works, Mr Mike Onomalemen, among others.

Don Jazzy has again reacted to happenings in Big Brother Naija 2018 reality tv show.

This time around he took to his Twitter handle to retweet a twitter post that says “This CeeC hair no dey due”

This is due to the fact that CeeC since entering the house has not changed her hair do, unlike the other female housemates.

Usually when you’re up for eviction you get the chance to change your hairstlye but CeeC who has been up for eviction more than once has refused to change her hair stlye.

Minimum casualties? In one of the most populated cities in the world?

Abi for a city said to be 20 million people, and someone is saying minimum casualties, how come?

sirfemoz:
To make already bad situation worse, those trailers decided to use it as garage.

Can only happen in a lawless country and a modern-day "animal farm"

In sane climes, those trailers or trucks will be towed no matter whose ox is gored and the owners paying heavy fines as a deterrence to others

AutoReportNG2:
Apapa bridge is a major bridge in Lagos as it links people from the Island to the mainland especially those in Ajegunle, Ijora, Wharf among others. The Nigerian government is known to have a bad maintenance culture as they don't repair roads or maintain it except if they want to use it to score a cheap political point. The honourable minister of works and housing Mr. Babatunde Fashola as at 2016 visited this bridge to access the damage but it seems nothing has been done so far.

The state of Apapa-Ijora Bridge is saddening because it is a major artery to Apapa, home of Nigeria’s most utilised seaports. Because rail and water transportation have collapsed, we necessarily depend on roads to transport imported goods, including fuel, to various parts of the country from the ports. This has put more stress on the roads even as it has become a nightmare for commuters.

This is a bridge that one does not have to be an engineer to know that it is a disaster waiting to happen. Its expansion joints are broken, with columns supporting it peeling off even as the integrity of its alignment is suspect. According to a trader under the bridge, “there is always unusual vibration under the bridge when trucks travel over the expansion joints.”

AutoReportNG on his tour to Apapa saw the bad sharp of the pillars of the bridge, these are the pillars that support the bridge as they have already falling off. We noticed most of the pillars are blown off and they have started peeling, for a bridge of such magnitude then an immediate action needs to be taken as soon as possible. The bridge has been neglected for over 12 years, despite the fact that it was engulfed in a fire about six years ago, which worsened its condition. We bring you pictures from our tour, enjoy!!!

A real disaster waiting to happen!

Welcome to the so-called "Centre Of Excellence"

Notice this bridge is not in the high-brow areas of Lekki, Ajah, Ikoyi, Victoria Island and so on, hence the no attention paid to it smh

Nowenuse:
Well, I consider that to be a white intonation. Or not?

I know that generally in the US, it is offensive for whites to use the Nigga word for a black person, but very much acceptable for a black person to use it on a black person.

Yes, so true, how can one then know when said by a white man which one it is as the nigger word especially is very offensive?

Nowenuse:
Hmm, I watched that movie again few weeks ago. Seems like I don't really notice the difference.

Watch it again, the intonation alone does it

Nowenuse:
Hmm, aren't they pronounced in the same way?

No, check out Django unchained and how true Southern white man mentions that word

EsotericMonk:
The Nigerian situation can be summarised as "the more you look, the less you see"
I am really irritated by the silence from Osinbajo, PFN, CAN etc etc, are they 'studying the situation' or they wanna set up a committee to look into the immediate and remote cause of why Liya was not released?
And to think DSS , an apparatus of state negotiated the release but accepted terms to leave a xtian girl behind is maddening.
If CAN do not speak up today about this and demand her immediate and unconditional release, then I'd know that the organisation is filled with self serving douchebags.
No apologies to those of you who worship so-called Men of God

One of them "Men Of God", I call them god of man, is even the Vice-president and has refused to resign from this government of bigotry smh

Nowenuse:
What is the difference?

There is a difference, one is mentioned as a term of endearment for blacks while one is inherently racist

What's wrong with this guy. How many 22 y.o. you know have life insurance. How many Nigerians have life insurance? Do u have life insurance?

Not abroad, there is something called a family life insurance cover.

Don't ever compare abroad to here, sorry to burst your bubble, nothing works here!

Conquest? We are talking about land legitimately granted to the FG by the respective states and you are here talking about conquest. Grow up dude

With biased FG that can turn the blind eye, when the conquest is complete abi?

In this modern day and age herdsmen cannot be allowed to continue to graze freely in the open without some form of restriction, that is why some of us support the proposed cattle colonies that are being built in some of the states who've accepted the proposal. Anything short of this will only ensure the problem does not go away

Cattle colonies? What is this one saying?

So they can seize the lands by conquest Abi?

There is no difference between his children going to any university they want and having millions afterwards VS. Them selling gala on the street.? WHAT IS WRONG WITH U?

Trust me there is no difference!

Why would I or a reasonable person want to spend that kind of money in the first place?

Compensation's aim is not the money for the families, rather as a punitive action that could render the erring parties bankrupt, serving as a deterrence to others!

Life insurance policy covers compensation in case of actual accidental death abroad and their insurance works unlike here.

So why would I want to sue someone to court for compensation if not that my aim is to actually bankrupt the company or hit their bottom-line hard?

You can see now why compensations abroad are usually a large sum.

Gaddafithe2nd:
When I hear people saying, they get the kind of security they want in the US. I just laughed sometimes. The same US, where you can be shot at anytime by one unstable human being in school or public places or killed by the police. Abeg every country get him own wahala. Despite many Nigerians do complain about police brutality , I have never had issue with them. Abeg make your money quietly wherever you are and stop rubbishing your country.

Canada is still the place to be.

Gun control is very strict there, their officers even use tasers instead and that is when it is very extreme.

So, no nut job or police officer becoming a basket case and killing people there.

Gaddafithe2nd:
That word "nigga" is an offensive word.

Actually, it is the word "nigger" that is offensive, not the "nigga" you quoted

This still happens after all the Black Lives Matter Hastags? I give up on social media activists.

Anytime, you are begging people to be free, you are never being free. The price of freedom is death - Malcolm X

ameri9ja:
U r dead but your family is set for life. Vs. U r dead and your family will suffer for life.

Trust me, there is no difference!
It is poverty mentality that makes people talk about compensation.
If one has conscience, you would not want to spend that kind of money.

ameri9ja:
His family is guaranteed to get millions.

In Nigeria the family will have to pay a bribe to get his corpse, that is if they are not arrested.

THAT IS THE BIG DIFFERENCE.

But the person is dead na

She compensation dey bring dead person and his or her unfulfilled dreams to life ni?

DrRasheed:
And some dimwits are packing their hard end monies to depart there....

Only difference is that our police does not discriminate with extrajudicial killings, in local parlance, called "accidental discharge"

A 22 years old black Americans identified as "Stephon Clark" Who lived with his grandparents and siblings was shot and kill In his backyard by the California police.

According to reports gathered by Nairaplus, The police shot clark 20 times after they mistook his cellphone he was holding for a Gun.

Source:
http://www.nairaplus.com/2018/03/california-police-shoot-and-kill-black.html

Shot 20 times, is that still self-defense?

Sorry, this action should not hold up in a court of law as the number of shots were too much to be deemed self-defense.

But the jury system, which is a blemish on the American justice system, will acquit the police officers as usual smh

There were signs that this man was not okay....
Once a driver is sick and also shows warning signs about his illness,the best thing was to disembark like they did initially....
They should have insisted on boarding another cab despite the pleas from passers-by...Now their lives have been cut short simply because of our unrepentant attitude towards our own life and that of others....

We see the wrong things every day and instead of doing the right thing,we say "MAKE WE MANAGE AM" !

We see a smoking airplane or an unstable vehicle or a shaky keke.....instead of insisting that U will move with a good and functioning means of transportation,we fall prey to the usually helpless phrase like "make we manage am" or "abeg i dey hurry" or "you go wait tire ohhh"

See how "make we manage am" has claimed the lives of these students!

This should be a very huge lesson to everyone....we like taking things for GRANTED in this country!

Exactly. Me go dey for that kind situation, I go still continue? Iffahear
