That’s a good one from Lagos state Government.
As you join the party and get your free cowry card, don’t join the party late with FCMB iNesf, you can get N100,000 to support your dreams when you save daily on iNest. Don't sleep on the bicycle! #ATokenOfLove #iNest

If not that the government is biased and their hatred towards us, the East should be the economic capital of Nigeria
But your hatred towards us won’t let you see that




What are you doing in Lagos if East is better? Move quick quick.

Common sense should tell you that the cowry card is made to replace the usual tickets been sold at the bus stations to be at par with developed cities in the world using bus pass. And this has nothing to do with tinubu or politics.

But I'm not surprised, you are deluded by tribalism

I am currently inside a brt bus as I type this.

In recent years, Brt is the only thing I have benefited from Lagos state government. However, more dedicated routes needs to be created for the brt buses to further avoid traffic.

Just before boarding this bus, I still saw LBSL staffs selling these tickets for #200, same with yesterday.

I hope this is looked into.
Nigerians always finding ways to rip others for the personal gains
I bought it 200 naira yesterday at Berger.

It's very obvious you have never left the east in your entire life or you are just plain dumb and backwards... This is simply something they call bus pass in the western countries but you have just decided to display how ignorant you are... Tinubu still get sense pass all your leaders join together in the east... Choke on good development

Brother do you see the post I replied to?

Is it a news that the Igbos like interfering into Yoruba personal affairs?

Do you see what one of their elite said about Awolowo today?

Let’s call a spade a spade. The igbos are haters and the earlier we stop being on the gentle side while they attack our leaders unprovoked the better for us.


I understand ur anger..

and if I may ask what did one of their elite say?? any link to it?

some of the ignorant ones are interfering in our affairs because they envy us and bola Ahmed tinubu..

I must be truthful to you,most of them wish lagos is in their zone..

and I am telling you now that most of those comments are not from igbos. hausa,fulani and other minority tribe are registering new monikers everyday pretending to be igbos to further deepen the lost-love between yoruba and igbo...

Alright I understand your point about other tribes impersonating Igbos and Yorubas.

Below is what I meant by what one of them said about Awo:

My dear, it's not their fault. It's because this kind thing no dey exist in their region. As you can see they rather worship their political leaders who never see them as humans rather as slaves. Jealousy dey scatter their brain day and night. Instead for their leader to go and learn on how to govern in Lagos State they keep exhibiing irrelevances on social media

Mumu, go to top cities/regions and see how transit systems work. Toronto has got Presto, Dubai has Nol card, DC has SmarTrip, Seattle has ORCA, New York has Metrocard, London has Oyster.

Sir, propaganda against Yoruba from any source should be counterd instantly as Badorey6 did. Being Omoluabis should actually motivate us to defend our collective honor, not the reverse. Keeping silent with excuse of being matured or liberal might seem like the intelligent thing to do but it is certainly not a pragmatic approach. It is not pragmatic because in the future our descendants will mostly likely buy any propanda that we refuse to destroy today. Propaganda is as deadly as nuclear weapons, we must shield ourselves, loved ones and our descendants from it by repelling it as soon as we come by it.

This is a good development, but do they have authority to checkmate the offenders. Becuase can just hop in,tap the card on the card reader without money inside the card,,many cities that operates such buses has security to checkmate people who failed to pay,,,for example in Dubai, They have RTA official,they stop the bus any time any where and check everyone's card if they have paid, failure to do so you pay a fine of 210dhs, which about 20k Naira.If you don't pay it there you land in prison. Same in NY and UK etc.If not people will just use the bus dey cash cruise.

LASG is trying in public transport but more needs to be done. They should go learn from transperth.
Only one problem in Lagos
The city is overpopulated and the roads and infrastructure cannot carry everyone.
No matter how good the transport is, you still end up in traffic.
Solution is to start expanding the rail network and dissuade the use of cars.
London realised that their city was popular far back 1897 and quickly dug tunnels under the whole city for rail network so they don't demolish anybody's house or infrastructure.
Till, date 2021, that their 1897 tube train is saving their city from useless traffic jam..All European cities have train as well and less traffic.
America refused to put train, so they suffer traffic jam like us.

Local man from Ochanja. Your generation is not used to good things of life. Go and join your Molue at Holy Ghost in Enugu down to Abakpa.
Local village boy. Cowry is what you tap in with the electronic device in the Bus . You don't pay cash to any driver or conductor. All you need is to load your card with existing agents. While you enjoy full Ac/ Tv And a place to charge your phone in the bus with special dedicated routes / lanes without holdups
Suffer head boy from East , you are not used to good amenities
