Corridon:
Tinubu looks terribly sick and needs urgent medical attention.

Brendaniel:
Can someone list 10 things these men have done to deserve these awards, if no one can't, then it's not a surprise why they are going to thank Tinubu who helped them get the awards for doing nothing other than singing his praise for stealing from the people and sharing it with them...

The devil receives praise only from evil people

TechNana:
I stand to be corrected tho, but Mr Tinubu would have out better remaining a political godfather like the likes of OBJ and Goodluck Ebele, instead of trying to jeopardize his reputation and image at his age with his presidential ambitions...

Being a presidential candidate is more like "to whom more is given more is expected" and at his age, we expect nothing more than succeeding the current president negatively...



You where noticed, I didn't say he wouldn't, kindly vote wisely, your vote matters too, at the end let the electoral commission do their job...



It's no news that Tinubu installed great names in political offices, why not rest and watch his seeds grow?

It wouldn't deny him nothing...

Well, what do I know?

Instead of you to pray for grace so that you can get to such height of recognition, you are being petty and typing nonsense. Sen. Yayi was a 2 term HOA member, 2 term HOR member, 2 term Senate member. Sen. Bamidele was Tinubu's commissioner of Sports & Youths in 99 - 03, HOR member & now a Senator. Tinubu trained & built them to such height. They went to appreciate the man who made them. You can continue *hating* that's how you'll retard instead of growing. Nonsense.

The first civilian governor of Lagos State, Alhaji Lateef Jakande, on Tuesday, said that the cancellation of the Lagos metroline project in 1985 was a major mistake and disservice to many Nigerians.

Jakande spoke in Lagos during the launch of a book which chronicled his life in politics and journalism.

The book, entitled, ‘Jakande: Leadership in Action’ is written by Dr. Bola Olaosebikan, who told the audience at the event that the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), was not responsible for the cancellation of the project.

Jakande said, “Reflecting on the metroline project, I think it is a major disservice to many Nigerians. Imagine how many people would have benefitted. It would have made life easier and changed the face of transport in Lagos. Whoever cancelled it or gave the advice towards its cancellation didn’t do right.”

The former governor asked Nigerians not to vote for unserious leaders in the coming polls, saying the elections presented Nigerians with a good opportunity that should not be squandered.

Expressing the hope that Nigeria would soon overcome its developmental challenges, Jakande said hope would be actualised faster if credible people emerged as leaders in the next dispensation.

He said, “This book comes at a very auspicious time in Nigeria’s history as we need leaders who can act. We need leaders who would not compromise the standards of good governance. God has blessed this nation the most in Africa, although we have not reached where we should be; with the right leaders, Nigeria would overcome its challenges.”

WHO SAYS 4 YEARS IN OFFICE IS NOT ENOUGH FOR MEANINGFUL ACHIEVEMENTS?

IT'S A FACT THAT 90% OF GOVERNORS IN NIGERIA SINCE 1999 WITH REVENUES AT THEIR DISPOSAL CANNOT BOAST OF A QUARTER OF THESE ACHIEVEMENTS EVEN WITHIN THEIR EIGHT YEARS IN OFFICE.

If you are a low expectations sufferhead citizen, please don't expect everyone to be like you.
Do you get that?
What is the result of all the talents Thiefnuibu hunted and built? The world capital of extreme poverty ahead of India's almost 1.5 billion people, that also has the highest number of children out of school? If you need proof of JagaBandit's thieving ways, show that he has done way more than Jakande did with shinkinni money compared to the IGR, allocation and loans available to Thiefnuibu since 1999. Can you do that
I know what your problem is but I won't share it until u discover it yourself, I have a lot of respect for Lateef Jakande RIP but this is not a game of comparison
Definitely everyone won't and can never be like me.
E dey pepper � u for body that's y u are insulting, u showed your frustration already so who is the sufferhead

harmonyglobal:

Can u also explain how a governor ran his state and paid workers salary and also commissioned projects without federal allocation from the Obasanjo government for almost 3years and there was no chaos, everything went normal as if nothing happened. U have the floor bad belle

dashkk:
A few days after President Umar Musa Yar’Adua reportedly ordered the cancellation of the controversial sale of the Port Harcourt and Kaduna refineries, he has directed the Accountant-General of the Federation, Alhaji Ibrahim Dankwambo, to immediately release to Lagos State government its seized local government funds amounting to N10.8 billion.

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo had ordered the withholding of almost N33 billion of the state’s local government funds over the creation of local government areas. Although the state later reverted to the original 20 local government areas, while converting the new ones to development areas, Obasanjo only ordered the release of a part of the money. He refused to obey the order of Supreme Court for the release of the funds.

Also, he ignored the pleas of well-meaning Nigerians.
In ordering the release of the funds, Yar’Adua said he gave the directive because he discovered, after seeking the opinion of relevant ministries on the matter, that the withholding of the balance of N10, 829, 527, 300.43 of the Lagos funds was illegal.

Special Adviser to the President on Communications, Mr. Segun Adeniyi, who revealed this in Abuja on Monday, while briefing State House correspondents, said: ‘Let me use this forum to announce that the president this morning (on Monday) directed the office of the Accountant-General of the Federation to release, with immediate effect, the withheld local government funds of Lagos State totaling N10,829,527,300.43."

Stop being a liar and propagandist.
Obasanjo could not, and did not withhold Lagos state allocation for any single month. What he withheld was only a portion of the LGAs allocation due to the illegal creation of new LCDAs. And Lagos was not the only state affected.

Meanwhile how does that even serve as an excuse for ThiefNuibu’s looting ways, which prevented him from doing a tiny fraction of what Jakande did in just four years with shinkinni change money?
