I read this thread, and i felt so bad for what happened. I go out everyday and this could be me or any other person that wakes up, hoping to survive and come back in one piece.

Just look at some of the comments there, from both perceived Igbo and Yoruba trolls.

I wish i had the power to dispense evil sometimes

https://www.nairaland.com/7604951/commercial-bus-driver-crushes-motorist

Those ones are insensitive trolls with sawdust in their skull.

The news itself is even my concern; a commercial bus driving against traffic causing death of an innocent motorist. Every blessed day these Yellow danfo buses always drive against traffic on Carter bridge from the Idumota end of the bridge to the roundabout that goes to Iddo. They do this cos they don't want to go and turn . As early as 6.15am sef when the day is not yet bright u will see them facing u with their full light not working o.

Yet there's a police armored personnel carrier and police patrol car stationed on the very close to where they start the one-way journey. I honestly don't know how many people needs to lose their lives before the police and other security agencies clamp down on these danfo people.

You are right and wrong in some areas, but I see your love for Russia is very strong.
Have you ever visited the country before?

no I've not.. but I'll love to

Please what was the mortal sin of Ambode who even did well more than Sanwo Olu?

Ambode begin dey over fat pass Oga na........

I disagree. 100%.

If you are bleeding to death do you want your family not to make calls to get bed space for you because it would be corruption?

You're still not disagreeing bro. you're, instead, explaining why it's understandable

Feel free to come around, I will show you the best places and meet some wonderful people.

You probably thinking... Babes eh?

Alaska, one of the 50 states in the US, is bigger than the whole of Nigeria in area.

Russia suppose collect (buy back) Alaska and add it to its Chukotska region.

TrebleChamp:
And Canada is bigger than this America ooh...

And Russia is bigger than both of them combined. Almost. 😜

Well that's debatable the Lagos I remember from that time was dirt everywhere and plenty potholes. He did well for Epe and built the BRT exchange at Oshodi other than that nothing earth shattering if you ask most people.

Ambode was removed because a lot of the Lagos APC stakeholders didn't like him not necessarily because Tinubu had issues with him well at least that's from the gist I heard, but I guess the opposition is more comfortable with the narrative that Ambode stood up to BAT hence why he was removed.

Reminds me of the plot of one Jeffrey Archer novel like that about the conspiracy around the sale of Alaska to the US.

Even his people in APC who removed him won't say this

GloriousGbola:


It takes years to make your state a viable destination for investment. And too many governors are too short sighted.

Look at the nonsense yeye bellow pulled with dangote. Now who in their right mind would set up a business in the state?

Same thing with fayose who was trying to shake banks down in Ekiti and started digging ditches to block them.

You need a long line of visionary leaders who will put money in infrastructure that will provide a framework for future investments in the state.

Which comes back to the administrator vs politician conundrum.

Maybe tinapa would have taken off if dukes successor shared the same vision.

As it is no investor even want to do anything that cannot yield returns within a governors term. Too much uncertainty

The moment yardua came in, he fked up virgin Nigeria and Richard Branson exited.

Even now Buharis admin is doing thier utmost best imho to frustrate mtn out of the country.

That's what it is about, imho

Hopefullandlord

Imagine say Tinubu signed those blue line deals and FTZ deals but somehow Fashola Ambode or Sanwo-Olu got there in a fit of bad belle and to discredit Tinubu cancels those contract, will there be anything to celebrate today?

Go and see what remains of that resort in Calabar that Donald Duke spent heavily on or Tinapa

Continuity matters. GRV is currently promising to stop or review everything in pipeline for Lagos as part of politicking, in 30yrs time we will wonder how come this red line yellow line never materialized

Melvyn11:

Is solar energy really worth the amount? At first I thought all you had to do was buy the panel for 60k to 100k and just connect it then the Sun does the rest forever. Only for me to find out a small battery is more than a million naira.

If you think about how much you'll spend on diesel.

For a mid size 4 bedroom flat or duplex, how much do you think gets spent on diesel yearly before you talk of Gen maintenance

APC stakeholders not Tinubu wanted Ambode out. All the allegations of dirt everywhere because of the botched visionscape is that not a concern?

Now what's Sanwo-Olu sin

This solar na still big man matter sha, cause whenever you try run the numbers side-by-side current cost or running a mix of gen/NEPA, gen/NEPA always comes out cheaper, although unlike running gen/NEPA, solar can give you round the clock electricity, less fumes and less noise.

Haba Bros; Ambode Tried; even as an occasional visitor, the guy was a big bold visionary kind of governor, you see that airport road work eeh; even if it just that he did is enough for me to vote him. From MMA to Oshodi previously was not a sight that any serious city should welcome its visitor, he changed that, how I wished he totally completed it and beautified; would mean you could go from MMA to VI and not be confronted with eyesores; most cities have ghettos or eyesores but it shouldnt be what you see 1st upon arrival.

BlueRayDicks:


The guy never see him relative dey in critical condition and health-workers dey do balablue. Nobody go tell am to call anybody "callable".

I am struggling to understand his point sha. Someone dropped that kind of story and what he could pick out from it was some alleged corruption.

Who mentioned Tinubu here?

Theflint1:

Review is what all canceled contracts say they are doing like Tinapa was reviewed.
In Oyo State for example all projects started by one governor once someone from another party comes he starts pulling down those and start his own. If for any reason those projects don't complete in 4 to 8yrs that's another abandoned project

My friend’s siblings schooled and lived in Russia… one did civil engineering masters… the girl is doing medicine or thereabouts

No let FBS deceive you… the skilled Russians Dey japa

It’s a typical communist state… big infrastructure but citizens na sapa

Of course with the front end expense it's going to be a big man thing

In my opinion 100% Nepa will be cheaper and 100% generator more expensive

Whether the total expense favor solar or not depends on the percentage of time you have to use generator vs Nepa in your Nepa/generator mix.

To do a side by side compare how much it costs to run Gen 247 and see vs Solar

The port harcourt metro will never be finished.
Ambode also played naija governor and abandoned the whole Badagry expressway project.
And then he took a working system (psp) and thrashed it for an unproven 1st world system (without engaging the stakeholders)

True

Yes you're right he fixed that airport road also started the Agege flyover that Sanwo-Olu completed. Like every human being Ambode had his positives but it will be untruthful to say he didn't have his negatives.
