GRV DEBATES- ISSUE: 2/5
Connecting Ikorodu and the entire Lagos East:
The benefit of having interlinked belt roads to connect Lagos East far out weighs a 4th-mainland bridge.
1) It is cheaper to achieve.
2) It opens up the entire axis for development
3) It improves the interconnectivity of the eastern foreshore by giving people more options for movement .
#Ourlagos
Mr Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour says that, if elected, he will cancel the Fourth Mainland Bridge project and introduce cable cars from Ikorodu across to Ajah instead, alongside 6km bridges.
But Ikorodu currently has only one major outlet connecting it to other parts of Lagos, apart from travelling through the Lotto axis towards Berger.
Dr Kadri Obafemi Hamzat, on the other hand, says he will deliver the Fourth Mainland Bridge within his first term, as it is a major priority in his manifesto.
The project is an expensive one, estimated at $2.5 billion, and will therefore be tolled to make it financially viable and bankable.
For context, this is a 38-kilometre bridge project, designed with nine interchanges to connect several major corridors and communities across Lagos State:
• Lagos Island/Lekki-Epe Axis: Starting from Abraham Adesanya in Ajah, passing through Lekki and Langbasa.
• Lagos Lagoon Crossing: Spanning a 4.5-kilometre section across the Lagos Lagoon.
• Ikorodu Axis: Traversing Baiyeku, the Igbogbo River Basin, Itamaga, Itoikin Road, the Ikorodu-Sagamu Road, and Owutu/Isawo in Ikorodu.
• Lagos-Ibadan Expressway Axis: Connecting towards the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway around Ojodu Berger.
Thoughts? 😳

GOOD DAY, MR PRESIDENT: NIGERIANS DESERVE ACCOUNTABILITY
Good day, Mr President.
I congratulate you on spending a night in one of Nigeria’s states outside Lagos and Abuja. I hope you enjoyed the warmth, hospitality, and delicious cuisine of Akwa Ibom, which I am sure is even better than those of the destinations where you have spent over 260 days outside Nigeria since coming into office.
I sincerely hope this visit will inspire you to travel to the remaining 33 states of the federation, spend time with the people and, more importantly, explain what your administration has done with the ₦15.8 trillion saved from the removal of fuel subsidy, the over $100 billion you have borrowed, the increased revenues accruing to the government from taxing Nigerians, and the additional government revenues which your administration celebrated last year as having surpassed its target.
Nigerians deserve to know how many that were pulled out of poverty within this period, how many out-of-school children were returned to school, and how many functional primary healthcare centres you have built. They also deserve to know how much electricity supply has improved, especially given your promise that if you do not fix power, Nigerians should not vote for you. They deserve an explanation of how you have secured the country, which still ranks among the most terrorised countries in the world.
Mr President, Nigerians deserve answers. They deserve to know what has been done with the resources entrusted to your government.
The New Nigeria we want to build will be based on accountability, transparency, and the physical, measurable impact of our public resources on the lives of citizens.
A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO
Hell nah
I’m not working to take care of another grown human
Tf is this
Jokes aside, there are certain girls you date and immediately realise you need to take your life more seriously. Not necessarily because they’re materialistic, but because you recognise the kind of life you want to be able to give them.
You naturally feel motivated to become a better man because you don’t want to watch her suffer alongside you.

Such a beautiful thing that I don’t have to worry about recording on Pewnote while being minimised
