No matter how gentle you are, how religious, how much patient you can exercise, whenever you are driving on the road of Nigeria, you tend to abuse, caution other than road user, I am talking from experience coz I do drive too, people crossing the road anyhow, Okada riders doing wan wan wa, public transport drivers chooking nose of their vehicles anyhow, just to mention a few, you be like guy open ur eyes o, no go jam me, no look for trouble dis morning, if it didn't go well with the other person, the person be like were(mad person), carry ur wahala go, o ti ka iwe ju (Over read person), from there the gbege starts.

You better go and get driver. Is it a must you drive yourself? Baba olowo commot for road.

Guys,
I am relocating my family to Lagos and i would like to live in a part of Lagos that wouldn't stress me so much in getting to and fro VI due to work. I am equally considering a budget of not more than 250k a year and i am hoping this can fetch me a 2bedroom apartment.

Your candid advice on which part of Lagos i should base my search on considering transportation stress and my budget would be well appreciated.

Thank you.

Think of Ikorodu, Agric area. Take BRT to and fro to CMS every morning and evening with cool AC all the way.

You were talking as if you Nigerian judiciary is good. Remember that no politician is in jail for one day since 1999.

seunmsg:


PMB should be reminded that he was widely elected to fight corruption, recover stolen assets and prosecute those who looted the country dry during the last administration. The case of patience jonathan will go a long way to test his resolve to fight corruption without fear or favour. All we want to see his Patience Jonathan in court to answer to charges of money laundering and corruption. If the court finds her not guilty, good for her. Just charge her to court and let justice be done.

This Taiwo Awoniyi is so smart. He called on his twin sister to celebrate the birthday together so that they can both have the same age.
Not like Taye Taiwo that was in UK celebrating his 27th birthday, leaving his twin brother in Nigeria to celebrate the 39th birthday.

I am still laughing with your comment.

Johnpaul2k2:
OSUN State hardly appear in the news for anything good, other than violent and killings
the governor is a mad man, since he decided to promote islam through school.

this is the type of thing you get when a governor focus more on religious matter rather than development.

Osun is not a state where human being lives
just another North in the making

I shake my head for you over your comment. Fear God!

Firstb0rn:
This happened today friday 15th of July,

I boarded a bus (danfo) going to Yaba. As soon as we got to onipanu bus stop, a lastma officer stopped our bus and Instructed our bus driver to get down. If it were to be America or Spain, it would have been wise to get down, but this is lagos, getting down means you are rsady to give your car/bus away. This man refused to get down (the driver). All he kept on saying was "Oga, wetin I do?" The LASTMA official told him "Come down first, we will tell you when you get down"

Everybody in the bus kept shouting and murmuring. c'mmon, this driver didn't violate any law. A policeman walked up to us and was like "Oga get down, I would talk to the LASTMA officer for you". Since the policeman assured him about his safety and of his vehicle, he got down and went to talk.


Few minutes later, the driver came back with two other LASTMA Officer and was explaining something to the officer. Out of curiosity, an old man asked the driver what really happened, the driver then said they said his Route ans Route number is not clearly written on the bus. I got down to check and I realized it was all false. The route number and all other required informations were written on the bus but it was already fading. I then told the police man 'but oga, this thing dey dere na, e just don fade small'. The police man told me to mind my own business. So I left them ans entered the bus.

The bus driver was busy talking to the officials on how and why the Informations on the bus was no longer clear, he even told them, he would re write it immediately.

A LASTMA officer entered our bus and wanted to drive us away. Other passengers were shouting and insulting him. As a blogger, I brought out my camera phone and took pictures of the scene.

One of the officials saw me snapping them and walked up to me. He was like 'You are snapping abi, oya bring that phone'. I smiled back and I was like, I'm only doing my job sire. Then he took it personal and almost slapped me. But he cautioned and called a police man to come take me away to the station. It was just like film :p. The police man dragged me with my belt like I stole something or I was caught raping. He dragged me into their police van and told me I will sleep in police cell today. I was just smiling. I'm sure the guy got confused. He was like, 'wetin dey ur bag' I showed him everything including my FAAN Identity Card. We are both working for the Federal Government I said.

I brought out my other phone so I could call a relative. The police man collected it and he was like I'm not allowed to make call... "E ma gba mi keh" I said (In my mind of course)

After a while, they promised to let me go if I delete those pictures I snapped earlier. Since they Insisted, I deleted most of it and hide some, because they were watching me closely. After I was done deleting those pictures, I showed them the phone and they left me.

The funny part was, they started laughing with me like nothing happened earlier and one of the officials promised to drive us to our destination (Yaba)

The way LASTMA frame up public bus drivers all in the name of tip and bribery ehn... God will save us.

N.B: Some of my sentences may be wrong, was rushing.

Let me share my own experience with LASTMA, although, I was luck to bit LASTMA man at the end. It happened at Okekoto junction of Capitol road Agege. I was coming from Agbotikuyo side and he told me I break traffic light. That the light is on red before I passed. He jumped to the front of my car as if I was running away. I told him I did not anyway break traffic light that there was traffic and we were driving bumper to bumper and as ta the time my eye sighted that light, it was still green. All my explanations fell on his deaf ear. He eventually demanded for ransom of about 25k. I was just laughing that if I have such amount this morning I would not even come out of my home this morning. I told that is possible to just dough out such money to u and you will collect it. I knew quite well that I did not break traffic light as he claimed but you know all their delay tactics. He later came down to 5k. I was still wandering what we happen to me to give this guy 5k. He was in the car negotiating with me till I reached Agege post office. At that spot, I told that him I respect his uniform not his person that he should get down I do not get money he is requesting for. I was late to the office already, I brought out my pause and showed him that all I have is 2k. He quickly took it and ran down as if danfo conductor stepped down of the bus on motion. This money was budgeted for a purposed. At that point, I pray to God that I do not get any power to fight this guy this morning, God should help me intervene. It was a painful moment for me because I do not even get much at all to talk of somebody would just ride on me in the name of govt. official and got away with my 2k. I put the incident behind me. But as I got to Odo Eran junction at Mobil filling station in Ogba, I notice that the filling station is selling fuel. My mind goes to that 2k that I would have used it to buy fuel. As I was thinking about it I saw two LASTMA officials on the median of the road. That instinct just strike me that I should report that LASTMA Official. I talked to them that Oga LASTMA one of your guys has collected bribe over there. They became interested and asked me to pack well. I immediately call office that I have issues with LASTMA. The superior officer asked me what was the issue. I summarised the whole story. He ordered the second guy to follow me to the scene and told him to collect my money back to me. Before we arrived at Capitol junction, the officer with me was guessing who might be the guy in question. He did not mincing word he said it would be Said that did it. As I showed him the guy he said it is Said. To cut it short, I got my money back, the same notes at that spot after much argument between Said and LASTMA officer that followed me. It was like a great miracle that my money came back to me. The main lesson is whatever u can do to avoid their traps do it to save your time, money and energy.

This one may not even have something upstairs but because of their influence in the society she scales through.

Congrats

Let's mind what we write on this forum. You may have right to write anything but do not abuse. She has been on this journey of attaining this level for years not last year her father became President.

What exactly is Buhari's offence that warrant impeachment? We have two sets of National Assembly members : One side is repentant looters and the other side is unrepentant looters. Unrepentant looters want the business as usual to continue and they are fighting back.

mkoabiola:
This Fayose is just too strong for buhari to silence.
Buhari has used all parametres to silence him but yet he wasn't deter or discourage.

He is d only oppositon leader now not cos he is enjoying immunity but cos he deserve to speak up..
Even after 2018 ,fayose may not keep silent,we all cannot continue to look in one direction even wen d ruling party is not getting it right.


Fayose is not a coward,though he may talk too much but he deserve to be heard and speak for d voiceless.

He enjoys immunity now that is why he can do anything he likes with heavy allegation of corruption on him.

larrysng:
The term Omoniles means the traditional land owners. These omoniles are mostly feared because of the many havoc they had caused to real estate investors. These set of people never bothered if the day suddenly turns into night whenever they’re on rampage.

The omoniles antics includes selling a single landed property to multiple buyers, reselling of already sold land to another buyer after discovering that the land has appreciate in value and relocating the previous buyer to a more distant place, collection of taxes and fines on land already sold, selling of dispute land to buyers etc.

Recently, Lagos state government has made moves to find a lasting solution to curb the criminal activities of these unscrupulous elements called Omo Onile on commercial activities because of the nuisances and threats they pose to the peace of the citizenry and investors. The state government has taken it upon itself to enforce its rights over land in Lagos and to also to work with all security agencies to implement state government and private property rights in the state.

But before these laws will be put in place, here are 10 basic things you need to know about the Land grabbers (Omoniles) before commiting your hard earn money into their hands.

1. Just like you and I, the Omoniles are human beings with flesh and blood running in their veins and therefore should not be feared. Rather, you should strive to understand them and what makes them tick. By so doing you would understand them and know how to deal with them.

2. Omoniles and the love for money go hands in hands. All omoniles are totally money driven and materialistic. If you have the money you would forever be their master.

3. Because the omoniles are closed to land and traditional communities they love reverence.

4. When Omoniles sale land to you, they never thought of keeping any for the future. The next thing on their mind is to marry more wives and bear as many children as possible.

5. If you bought land from Omoniles please keep some money aside because they are still going to come back to you after lavishing the money they got from the land sales on parties and fun fairs.

6. If the above occurs, they become militants and will find a way of extorting money from you.

7. For Every troubles omoniles makes, they sometimes get less because of their complex family structure.

8. When dealing with omoniles, try to show to them that you’re one of them. Play with them, mingle with them and if possible eat with them.

9. When dealing with Omoniles, don’t deal with the father alone; make sure you carry the children along as problems with omo oniles start whenever the head of the family dies.

10. When dealing with Omoniles understand and identify the power brokers (Obas, Baales,) within the family.

11. When dealing with Omoniles ask enough questions as possible so as to save yourself enough trouble in the future.

12. When making payments, make sure you documents the whole process. Take pictures with the people involve, writes down your agreements, do video recordings and collect receipts.

Please note that if we start talking about the omoniles and the ways they operate we won't leave here today. This few point were just to guide your steps so that you won't fall victim of land scam.

****

You are on points, especially the last one, no 12, which many of them do not usually agree with.

Bethelwealthy:
...............must APC play politics with everything?? And Ogoni people will be busy clapping for this scam.....

Either politics or not, has any attempt been done in the past? She needs to associate with them to get the job done.

mrvitalis:
Just take a good look at the road someone is holding a large ceremony to commission??

I will always say this, Ameachi classes ahead of wike, just Go to D line and see the beauty of underground drainage system with good roads
Everything ameachi did was world class, from schools, to hospitals, to roads, to sports Complex, to even farms
Wike ke is just doing exactly what odili did,while Rivers people prefer the money being shared than real projects

This is a sham. I stayed in portharcourt for some years and know this road quite well. I expect Gov. Wike to make this road a two-carriage ways because of incessant traffic jam on that road. It is one of the major roads in PH.

sirugos:
Lol. Delaying tactics

He will soon apply for treatment outside Nigeria. That is the brain work behind all these demonstrations.

ki02020:
When you see a motor registered in lagos

This is common

AAA which means Ademola adeniji-adele

The man get rep

You are right. That is Lagos Island Plate number tag.

Lawalemi:
Hmmmmm. And Tinubu and Amaechi are walking freely

Were they (Tinubu and Amaechi) part of Federal cabinet? The probe centered on N15billion meant for purchase of Ammunitions.

seunlayi:
... Without the above, the president is on a political vendetta mission. Only A malfunctioning zombie will believe this government fight against corruption

Let Buhari does it one after the other. He is the President and he knows what goes around. People that got money from national treasury without appropriation and much more recent. These monies, FG is investigating now, have not been invested and can be easily recovered. I am sure other thieves will be investigated very soon. Yoruba says, when you have huge of woods to pack from one place to another, you first remove those one on top. Imagine, if what EFCC discovered is anything to go by, this is a monumental loss to the Nation. We were all living witness to what happened towards 2015 election, where the former President nearly turned himself to Lagos state Gov. He started paying homage host to all who is who in Yoruba Land during that six weeks extension. Dollars reigned.

Ratello:
......we all are sinners before God. One of the few past Presidents of this Country I still respect very well....you will never see him "forming relevance" because he knew he was part of the problems of this Country. He hardly meddle in Nigeria's political imbroglio but maintain his silence at his uphill mansion only offering his sincere advice when consulted. A professional military man to the core, unlike one Ota farmer always "forming relevance and holier-than-thou" when we all knew he was the major problem of this Country. Get well soon Sir, a fine soldier with dignity.

Go and read or ask about life and time of this man called Babangida, you would be totally convinced that he is more part of the problem than Obasanjo. I am not exonerating Obasanjo at all, if you were full grown adult and conversant with Nigerian politics in the eight years rule of Banbangida, I believe you would reserve your comments on him.

kendrick9:
This Op is either foolish or insane...Has fayose been travelling 100 times a month like buhari, No... so there is no basis for comparison here.. buhari has been galavanting around the world since he took over power and has achieved absolutely nothing from those travels.... buhari is just an incompetent buffoon

Fayose is gov. of a state not president.

damton:
If there is anything I don't like about our judiciary, it is the slow pace of criminal justice dispensation .


Because how do you explain how people with heavy criminal allegations have been able to play around cases by employing some dodgy tactics through their defense team in securing freedom for their client who ought to be in incarceration for a very longtime.


Anyway, Justice should be allowed to prevail in the end.

You see what is happening now, if Metuh is still in detention and not granted bail, they would say PMB is dictatorial, instructing court not to grant them bail. Metuh is using all forms of delaying tactics to watery the case against him.

Pidggin:
Whenever a certain party looses, elections will be declared inconclusive as the masters have to be informed before any such results can be released

If INEC cannot successfully conclude only one local government election then we can rightfully predict what will happen in 2019.

This is why we keep saying GEJ was a phenomenon.

Stop blaming INEC: What about the thugs that bent to disrupt the process and the ineffectiveness of security personnel on ground?

Integrityfarms:
All these CCB Rantings, who among Nigeria politicians has a clean clear record

Let another government be in place and you will see the Sainthood of the APC demigods!

That is what we are saying that after APC may be another party take over, it will also be their turn and society will be better for it.

Obamina:
. If this man had been a floor member, nobody would have noticed all this things, Just because he says no to APC godfathers. There are many of them not only Saraki jooor. It is well

See, if you have all these evidences at your disposal as a common citizen. Do you have the gut to blow the whistle against saraki? All we need is to pray to God to fight for us as the episode is unfolding. It is a case of two powerful men have the habit of cheating the have not. Only prayer from the have not is for the two powerful men to have misunderstanding.

Eboski:
PDP ti take over....
this will be back to back to APC...
but on my own view I will advise PDP to allow APC take over the Senate since they are the majority and also the ruling party. so that peace will be..



my own opinion..........

I am looking forward to seeing any candidate PDP will present that will not have one problem with corruption so far all of them are past office holder. it is better PDP allows APC to have their way and let the country move forward. All of them in that National Assembly are corrupt.

ijebu2020:
To b frank can I ask Op and the rest calling for Sarakis head that of what particular benefit is Sarakis case win or fail to Naijas problems?
Now I if Saraki had abide by the Apcs party directive on senate president seat do u guys think Saraki case wld have come up? capital no..so I c it as a mere persecution and not a serious war against corruption..lts be serious with ourselves for once.

You as an individual, if you are have access to all these charges against Saraki. Do you have the gut to charge him to court? The people you can not fight and win; you now beg God to cause misunderstanding among them so that they can use that power to fight themselves. Thank God for what is happening instead of putting a blame game on party. More of Saraki will follow if this goes through as expected.

Achuwa1:
Why are some NL mod always happi abt the downfall of certain ppl in the country,,
instead them to be tackling NLC & TUC abt not protesting the lingering fuel crisis for over 3 months now,but they busy promoting saraki's case.
my question is,,will saraki case stop the pending fuel crisis,will it reduce the high cost of commodity in the mkt,will it bring steady power supply,will it stop the hardship apc govt.is subjecting Nigerians to,etc.
who cares about saraki & co,,if he looses his case na 4 him head & if he wins his case same to him head..
lets be more concerned abt the poor masses than dis selfish politician coz non of them is ready to give up their wealth for me & u.
a word is enough for the wise.

corruption is the bane of what you and I are facing now. There were time all these old refineries were built in line with our population forecast then in the late 70s. Since then no single one was added. It is not easy to resolve this problem because of the cabals that have been milking this nation for years.

Goke7:
Enugu never voted PMB in 2015 so how will they vote him out in 2019?

Nigerians and their emotions

Buhari does not need a single vote from south east and south south and he will still win in 2019 election if he stands to contest and his performance is welcomed by other geopolitical zones.

omenka:
Since when did calling someone an "animal" amount to criticism

Imagine calling a whole president of your country an animal, that is not criticism. It is a pure barbarian talk. It is an act of indecency.

TippyTop:
Presidiot Buhari should stop deceiving us,
he should address the nation on present state of our economy and petrol shortages.
On second thought let's hope the reason for his address is to inform us he is resigning.

After reading your submission, that last statement showed your degree of concern for this govt.
