Adieu.

I remember the Wednesday and Friday free iced creams in my Primary School courtesy of his government.

Free Textbooks, notebooks, crayon, poster color, biros, pencils, erasers, etc.

I cannot forget the affordable and accessible education he offered.

Rumour has it that Baba quite active politics when he was asked to drop money for the boys and people at a campaign rally, he boldly replied he he came not to bribe them but to serve

For Oyo State it is Bola Ige and Ajimobi, Jembewon as military

For Lagos it is Buba Marwa, Bank Anthony, Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Baba , Jakande

I have a serious feeling that Alhaji Jakande proved to us that 4yrs is indeed enough to do a lot if the leaders have sincerity of purpose and committed to good governance. I agree that we are all guilty as charged but our leaders will take the bulk of the blame because they diplomatically made the system not to work by intentionally neglecting their primary assignment of nation building but rather embarked on looting our common resources.


There will always be criminals but some circumstances made some pple more prone to criminality. It was not this bad when we were growing up, but bad governance precipitated by greed and lack of foresight of our leaders is mostly responsible for the moral decadence.


As for the UK government, the citizens were adequately taken care of. Their leaders are serving the pple, there are systems in place that make it almost impossible to be a criminal there. I strongly believe that majority of Nigerians are ready to change for better under good leadership as we demonstrated during the mamser and WAI era, then it will be easy to deal with the few miscreants left. The leaders must change, lead by good example, provide basic things for the masses and stop the sabotage of our systems. We need a lot of reorientation of the masses especially the youths, we must revive of core values.... integrity, dignity in labour, hardwork etc. So help us God.

You are very correct man,had it been we still practiced regional politics, SW would have gone far in terms of development.

And should we returned to regional government today,you won't believe how this our current politicians will sit tight because of fear


But the irony of it is the North believed they were they purest,corrupt free blabla.

Meanwhile, we know the calibres of our politicians when we were governing ourself.

The first Governor of Lagos State, Late Brig. Mobolaji Johnson was a selfless man, in fact, he is underrated because he was a military man. He laid the foundation for Lagos.



The only selfless Governor Lagos ever had.

He built home for the masses while the looters built houses for the rich.

He Introduced the best hygiene system through wolewole ( enter and search officers) purely for the health benefits of the Masses.

A true father and leader.

A builder and sustainer of peace.

A caliber of leader Nigeria should have.

Rest in Peace BABA, your good works have spoken, and will speak for you in Heaven.

The rest can carry their looted fund to hell...it awaits them all.
