You people talk for talking sake. When Wike was illegally promoting him and went all out to molest and arrest a serving house of rep member for having the audacity to contest governorship primaries with fubara, where were you guys. Fubara mate in the civil service he was before becoming governor has not even reach the level of director not to talk of permanent secretaries. He had a deal with Wike and he would have made sure he had the upper hand to fight a person like him not listening to those who were against Wike because of some reasons and expecially making him fubara governor.

So you are happy Wike now gets to keep 20% of Rivers Funds.

Pinklada:
For 44yrs of my life have seen it eligible n clear that human are insatiable.


If the Crisis had worsen than this you be among the critics

Abi oo!

We should be happy it didn’t get worse like some other places where state of emergency was never declared.

Is it a must to buy land in ikate or Lekki?
Mowe and ibafo dey there, why can't he buy there at lower price of 3-5 per plot instead of buying a plot of land in Lekki at an affordable price.
Moreover, people that has billions of naira to buy land or properties suppose to be able to the tiny roads lead to their properties....are they not billionaires? We call it community service....poor people sa no dey live there?

It is definitely not a MUST! I don't think anyone in history has ever FORCED anyone to BUY a house.

However, are you justifying OPEN smelly gutters in front of home worth BILLIONS?

Is this your idea of progress?

I was on Palace road recently and saw POO dropping out of a guys butt in the afternoon.

Like where Oba Oniru lives ooo

On one had, I did feel bad, cause I'm like I have a place to poo, but maybe this man doesn't.

On the other hand, that was totally unacceptable.

How am I seeing poo dropping from a mans butt into an open gutter in such a high brow area?

Omo, I pray for progress for all of us sha, all parts of this Nigeria, whether together or split.


We should not be having anything like open gutters in 2025.


I understand Lagos is more developed than a whole bunch of other states, but it doesn't change the fact that people should be able to complain and get their complaints heard, especially when valid.

We can't complain about an area and someone says, look at this other area.

dettolgel:
I think this line of reasoning is the reason Nigeria is where it is. Someone living in Lagos and paying taxes in Lagos has the right to question how those funds are used. If truly people living there pay the amount quoted by the scott guy, the question is does Lagos State government truly charge them rate commiserate to the value of their properties? If the answer is yes, I assume that should be be a significant amount of money and hence, they deserve at least a descent road. Don't you think so?

Have you also considered the fact, that calling out Lagos State government maybe an impetus for them to stay ahead?

As in...

Even me, as a Lagosian, if someone post bad road in Abia, Abuja, Sokoto... I will CONDEMN IT

Condemn it and shame the leaders and it will bring me GREAT JOY, if/when those roads are then REPAIRED


How can a people support rubbish like this? Oh my days


So if they listen to this guy now, remove side traders, close all open gutters and ensure the roads are pothole free, won't that be a GOOD THING?


Are they saying it's better the road is left a smelling waste?

I can't men

obailala:
This recurring metality of some Nigerians is just dumb and nauseating. If I live in a neigbourhood, what's wrong in calling out the authorities responsible for keeping the area clean?

You see the problem abi?

Like, they are saying, "Get out, we want out dirt like that, we want poo on the side of the road in open gutters, yes we love our dirt"

I just can't men!

I can't

God heal your people please.

Let them see good and call it good!

“RANKED NO 1 in WOLRD RANKINGS”

See how quickly they have come to belittle MIT!

You’d think these people are doing so, cause maybe they have someone from Harvard or Oxford or something.

No no!

Their history shows how they prefer Nepa certificates.

What is wrong with some of you Nigerians??

The way you guys reject good things, good leadership… has to be studied.

Ballmer:
MIT is the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, a private, coeducational research university in Cambridge, Massachusetts, known for its excellence in science, engineering, and technology. Founded in 1861 by William Barton Rogers.

Thank God for google you for claim MIT is feom outer spaxe.

What you talking bout brah?

BATified2023:
so what's e big deal about MIT that u village kids shout about?

Anyone with money can go there, same way anyone with money can drive Benz, so why d noise?

Anyone with money can go to MIT? Wow!

MIT?

The way you guys diminish such great academic accomplishment ehn!

One again, it seems some Nigerians are ready to bury any sign of progress.

Here we are, once again, diminishing the accomplishments of an MIT graduate.

MIT, known as the top school in the world?

Once again, the prefer Nepa certificates and people that graduated before their school was founded.

What a people.

Bandit Leader Allegedly Behind Killing Of Over 30 In Katsina Mosque Attack Attends Peace Meeting In Faskari

Barely days after allegedly masterminding a deadly attack that left 32 worshippers dead at the Mantau Mosque in Malumfashi Local Government Area of Katsina, bandit leader Babaro was seen on Sunday at a peace meeting in Faskari, Katsina.

The meeting, organised to address escalating clashes between armed herders and farming communities, drew the participation of traditional rulers, community leaders, security representatives, and leaders of herder groups.

A security expert, Zagazola Makama, disclosed on X that Babaro, who has long been on security watchlists, attended the dialogue despite being accused of leading the gruesome assault on the Mantau Mosque that left dozens injured.

The bandit leader, who has for years terrorised communities in Kankara and Malumfashi, has been linked to multiple kidnappings, extortion schemes, and deadly raids.

His ability to appear unchallenged at a high-level peace dialogue has raised serious questions about the state of security and governance in the region.

Peace meetings of this nature have become a recurring strategy in Katsina and other troubled states across Nigeria’s northwest, where banditry and farmer-herder conflicts have left thousands dead and displaced countless families in recent years.

While proponents of dialogue argue that negotiation is essential to ending cycles of violence, critics say granting violent actors legitimacy without justice perpetuates impunity and weakens public trust.

As of Sunday evening, there was no official statement from Katsina State authorities regarding Ado Alero, Isiya Kwashen Garwa, and Babaro’s presence at the meeting or whether they remain wanted in connection with the killings and kidnappings in the state.

However, for many in Katsina, the incident has deepened fears that justice for the victims of the massacre may never be served, even as leaders continue to pursue fragile peace efforts in the region.

Make it make sense

MNK that used microphone has been imprisoned for years. Each time they try to find a charge to stick to him, with no luck.

How many people did MNK kill? ZERO!

Now bandit leader that killed 30 is in peace talks?

Don't forget how before they put "repentant" boko haram and militants inside the military.

By this time, even on a Saturday, there is no way that stretch of road would be this FREE as shown on the map

To think someone wanted to bring all that suffering and problems back, uhhh, men

Instead of us to be asking, how do we solve the next RED SECTION, cause the traffic to the right of the map shown below, should be so, but I'm sure MASSIVE POTHOLES AROUND LEKKI PHASE 1 GATE ARE PLAYING A MAJOR ROLE IN THIS BUILDUP.

Sorry for resurrecting this thread, stumbled upon it and read the comment that was advocating for the toll.


Ask anyone, anyone that lived or drove on that axis about the trauma of that toll on OZUMBA.

Ask them how many years it has been since they saw traffic at the toll plaza

Simeonjoe1:
Baba for get Mumu talk, why don't you add the one lane for free...

If the government decides to toll the national highway provided there's a guaranteed maintenance and superhighway linking all states in Nigeria, you know go like am?

Better choose your poison btw, bad roads, good well maintained roads with tolls or poorly constructed roads without tolls.

Well maintained indeed.

Thank you GOD, for you showed it to us and we lived through it to see it ourselves.

Just do the math, collecting N200 per like 15 seconds. Then multiply by about 20 booths. How much are you making per min, per 10 mins, per 30 mins, per 1 hour...

Still people living at Chevron will attest to the fact that there were POTHOLES GALLOR, the area was dark at night -except for a few nights, NO ORDER, nothing.

This thing still triggers me whenever I think about it.

Imagine if the road was BUTTERY SMOOTH, all lanes were PRISTINE, with lights that make it seem light DAYTIME... then when you paid the toll, a part of your soul would be at peace

BUT IT WAS THE OPPOSITE

The trauma even, of the 1 hour to try to pass the gate because of that massive traffic and how cars just packed liked sardines, danfoes bashing people, people cutting whatever lines still existed... the trauma


It's just to collect and collect that government knew with the tolls.


There is no builder in Nigeria, no trader, no Engineer, no architect, no laborer... THAT WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO EXECUTE PRISTINE MAINTAINANCE ON THAT ROAD GIVEN THE HUUUUUUUGE REVENUE THAT WAS BEING GENERATED PER SECOND.

I thank the heroes of the ENDSARS PROTEST, may God bless them especially for all of us who had to endure such chaos, fraud and wickedness that lekki express toll gate brought.

Simeonjoe1:
Mumu talk...
No be private investment be the toll?won't they recover their money? Or na only Nigeria roads toll dey?

Some Nigerians will literally fight to be oppressed.

Then, people were paying N250. Imagine what the payment would have been like now, with Tinubu inflation; like N1,000 per pass.

Just look at how the CONSTANT TRAFFIC on that tollgate axis PERMANENTLY VANISHED.

Tollgate that would cause traffic from the gate alllllllllllllllll the way to 1004. Like you will spend 40mins just to[b] CROSS A TOLLGATE[/b]

Now without that WIKED GATE, you cross in like 50 SECONDS



THEN EVEN WITH ALL THE REVENUE GENERATED PER MIN, WITH UP TO 20 BOOTHS, YOU STILL COULDN'T FIX POTHOLES?

YOU COULDN'T PAINT ORDINARY WHITE LANES?

YOU COULDN'T LIGHT UP THE ROAD AT NIGHT?

ALL THESE THINGS ARE PRESENT ON A BEAUTIFUL FREE ROAD CALLED THE THIRD MAINLAND BRIDGE. NO POTHOLES, LANES ARE PRESTINE, LIGHTS ARE PRESTINE AS WELL AT NIGHT, YET IT IS TOLL FREE

BUT YOU AT LEKKI WIKED GATE, ARE PRINTING MONEY, YET YOU CAN'T GIVE DRIVERS THESE THINGS?

YOU WOULD THINK WITH ALL THAT MONEY PRINTING PER SECOND, YOU WOULD PUT 3RD MAINLAND BRIDGE TO SHAME, CHAI



Then you see Nigerians like this guy, that were advocating for a return to toll.

Omo men

Pompoma:
Reno Omokri abandoned his legally married wife and children, including twin boys, for another woman whom he impregnated out of wedlock.

I wonder who would want to associate with him in real life.

helinues:
What's the business of NLC with senate affairs. Hahaha

Senate affairs indeed.

No be Nigerian affair na

That is why they can buy 160 million SUV each for themselves, while they tell you 70k monthly is too much for you

Senate affairs indeed.

I never knew a day would come where this guy would become so irritating to me, like mucus

phorget:
Constitutions could be amended if need be, Nigeria has always amended her constitution from time immemorial but somehow this succession constitution seems unamendable.
But when Tilumbu wanted to change the national anthem it took him less than 2weeks to get the anthem changed...

Reno is just a lost cow.

Changed the anthem in like 24 hours ooo, bruv

They keep acting like systems can't be changed.

That's why they hate to hear anything BVAS or IREV

Reno that prefers a Drug Lord to someone that went to church

Heya

Meanwhile see Soyinkas APC people on Nairaland saying that hospitals should not have beds, and if you expose such hospitals without beds, you deserve to be arrested.

The carry their wickedness on their chest.

Softmirror:
It is still poor journalism if you can make a report of which you get arrested at the end of the day. It simply means you did not make a constructive criticism with intent for development.

Why would anyone want to come to Naija when you have citizens arguing that hospital patients should be without beds.

And those that expose hospitals without beds should be arrested.

The wickedness in Naija is seen everywhere, even with the way they drive.

Softmirror:
It is still poor journalism if you can make a report of which you get arrested at the end of the day. It simply means you did not make a constructive criticism with intent for development.

To think that having beds in hospitals annoys this APC supporter.

The journalist that took this picture below was jailed for exposing the bad state of the hospital.

A well known APC supporter blamed the journalist for the report and had this to say: -

Softmirror:
It is still poor journalism if you can make a report of which you get arrested at the end of the day. It simply means you did not make a constructive criticism with intent for development.

Ozumba has holes that are more than 20 inches deep.

This is terrible for an "Expressway", cause it means you'd be driving relatively fast >60km/h and all of a sudden you are faced with such deep holes and limited opportunities to escape the holes.

What is going on?

As I said before, the money that Sanwolu used to go and wave goodbye to Tinubu could be used for so many things, and in this case, it could be used to buy like 10 tippers of sand/gravel and asphalt.

Couple with the reckless way people drive and having no lane markings on the road, every trip on that axis seems extremely dangerous as fast, unruly drivers approach such deep holes

Still had some value.

So I guess APC is telling us that these currency notes are useless notes from a "Fake era"

I guess people will tell their kids that these currency notes are worthless now because the were from a time (just about 10 years ago), where Nigerians lived very fake lives.

Presented, is the newly unveiled statue of sycophancy in Nigeria

Also remember Buhari Nairalanders saying they want to teach others, lessons.

Always so wicked during elections, selecting the most wicked people to "teach others, lessons", not to better their lives and the lives of their countrymen.

Meanwhile, people like GRV that went to M.I.T, the TOP ENGINEERING SCHOOL in the world, were dismissed, simply by calling him

"CHINEDU"

Please no one should tell us about whites not being a superior race, no one.

Is M.I.T your mate?

Then to add insult to injury, they select the ones that don't even have WAEC.


M.I.T?


Just goes to show the disdain some people have for anything good.


Other advanced societies would see M.I.T and get excited, but here the only policy to counter the MIT grad was

"CHINEDU"

Who remembers this guy celebrating Buharis second win by entering the smelly gutters?

"4 + 4"

Was this guy concerned about FX rates? Inflation data? Tourism? 911 nationwide police number? ....

Makes you want to weep right? When you start to realize just how far we are as a race and people.

Then the nairaland warriors then calling everyone "WAILING WAILERS"
