La Masia is actually insane. They make sure these kids get their education, look after their health and still put them through crazy levels of training. Proper academy

All this your long epistle didn't answer the question.
Again the question is; What will it take Nigeria to have constant Electricity.?
Been hearing this thing since I was a kid and I’ve refused to believe it cause it absolutely makes no sense. Wtf 😳, are these people mad?
restricting supply to your territory (what people call “punishing” the area), or
2. The National Grid is down.
Jsyk Nigeria provides constant light to Togo, Niger and other countries

This month of November btw 😭 All the money that seemed to have refused to come my way all year, I’ve been making it almost everyday, and it’s still 10th.
I’m genuinely so grateful to God 🥺. I know he has even more beauty in store for me in the coming days 💗.

Any politician who makes promises but cannot clearly explain HOW he intends to fulfil them is simply selling you dreams.
Look at how GRV presents his ideas, explains his policies and tells you exactly how he intends to turn those ideas into reality. He is not just making promises, he is showing you the thinking, planning and direction behind them.
Is that not the kind of leadership we should be demanding from our politicians?
Dear Lagosians, APC does not deserve your unconditional love. Your loyalty should be to Lagos and its people, not to a political party. You deserve better than years of recycled promises, poor governance and excuses.
Give competence a chance. Vote for a man who understands the challenges, has a clear plan and genuinely has the interests of Lagosians at heart.
Do not vote out of sentiment. Vote for your future.
If you fail to get it in 2027, you may have to live with the consequences for another four years.
Fantastic question. The issue of sourcing land comes with very little challange. There is enough land in Lagos East to accommodate well over the 100,000 housing units that we propose.
But to the more important issue about funding.
First, my administration will curb the waste and corruption that has redirected public funds to private pockets.
For instance between 2021 and Q3 2025 alone, about ₦1.3 trillion was spent by the state government on “miscellaneous expenses” and “consulting fees”
In the last 6months, Lagos state has spent N19 billion on refreshments, entertainment, hospitality, honoraria, and sitting allowances within the first six months of 2026
More damning is the ambiguity of some of the expenses in the miscellaneous expenses. For example, total spending on “Special Duties Expenses” hit ₦601 billion in just four years,
between 2021 and 2024. These expenses are entirely different from the spending of the Ministry
of Special Duties and Inter-governmental relations, which hit ₦102 billion between 2021 and Q3 2025.
This is just one aspect.
In the same period the state has spend almost 400 billion on “professional fees” and entertainment.
I’d stop just here. The point is, we can redirect over 500 billion of government spending towards housing by curbing corruption and waste over a theee year period.
Secondly, I intend to introduce a tax on luxury developments that will directly fund social housing. My team estimates that we can raise about 100 billion in three years.
I also intend to tax vacant buildings, particularly those in Ikeja, Victoria Island, Ikoyi, and Lekki. The idea is to encourage owners to put such properties in the market or pay a tax that will directly fund social housing.
We will also guarantee financing for the Lagos state mortgage institution to provide the necessary liquidity to back affordable housing projects.
We will also significantly raise government spending on housing because it not only provides shelter and dignity, construction is a huge stimulant for the economy which will create thousands of meaningful job opportunities and improve spending in the economy.

If you guys don’t give GRV Lagos Governor I strongly nominate him for minister for works under Peter Obi’s government. All these brilliant plans can’t waste cuz we have myopic people in Lagos.
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 .

Lagos budget is small because of the limited ision of the 27 year old Tinubu government.
Their revenue generation focus has always been about extraction of TAXES, CHARGES, LEVIES, RATES and FEES of all kids and nomenclatures from Lagisians, and never about delivering even the most basic of services,Ike water or power.
We will supply reliable power and water to Lagisians via prepaid meters, and that will add $7.2b minimum to our revenue.
The immediate knock-on effect of having reliable power supply is industrial and economic growth, arising from more disposable income acruing to both individuals and corporations.
This will drive up PIT receipts as well as Land Use Charge receipts significantly.
I am of the opinion that by the end of Y2, we should be seeing revenue of at least $20b pa. By year 4, we should at least double or even triple that figure.
Our eventual goal is to quadruple the GDP of Lagos State by 2031 - without adding to the already astronomical tax burden.
Indeed, some taxes are duplicated, or even counter-productive, and they will be scrapped.
We will notmapensnwhat we don't have, because we will not spend wastefully, like the current occupants of Alausa.
Algeria did it, so Lagos can too. What you didn’t tell us is that Algeria spent about $35 billion on the 1.7 million units within that 4 years
At today's rate (~₦1,348/$), that is roughly ₦47.2 trillion.
Lagos 2026 budget is ₦4.44 trillion.
If we dedicate the entire annual budget of Lagos to building only houses, it would take about 10.6 years to match that sum.
Which brings me back to the question again, how do we fund it? I can promise to give every Nigerian a car, but the real question is how do I go about it? That how is what people are debating. Not that it can’t be done.
But with which money? Where will the money come from?

If you’re a young person in Lagos, what should concern you is that the APC administration is 26 years of governance has not delivered up to 20,000 social housing units (and this is being generous).
What should concern you is that even their renewed hope housing program has not delivered up to a 1000 completed housing units.
Algeria delivered 1.7 million units in four years in 2024. South Korea delivered over 2 million units in 1991.
But these jesters want you to believe so badly that delivering 100,000 units is impossible.
Trust me when I say this, a 100,000 units is not even ambitious enough to tackle the scale of the misgovernace in the last 26 years.
And yes, we can build enough social housing for young graduates to occupy.

I would like to know where you live, so that we can plan a key infrastructure to pass exactly the footprint of your house, and we demolish it, with scant compensation, so you know how it feels.
We could select your exact plot for a Primary Health Care Centre in your ward.

At no time did GRV say he would CANCEL the 4th Mainland Bridge.
What he said clearly was that Lagos needs more bridges than just the 4th Mainland Bridge.
He did say he would introduce cable cars, to completed a plan previously made by Ambode, and that he would build several shorter bridges, to connect the Eastern reaches of Lekki with the Ikorodu Mainland more cohesively.
I am familiar with this plan because we have discussed it extensively. Time did not permit him to me too all parts of it, but it also includes a Belt Road system around the Lekki Peninsula, linked by those shorter bridges to the Ikorodu axis, which will also be given its own grid complex, plus at least one additional link road from Ishawo to the Isheri-Osun axis.
The Badagry axis is not left out, as we plan not one, but two additional alternative roads into Badagry, besides the Lagos-Badagry Expressway.
Our plans take full cognisance ofnthenfaft that our current existing infrastructure, even if it were in good condition - which it is clearly not - is grossly inadequate for a state of 23 million people.
We will be adding many more new roads, bridges and drains to take us to a more respectable road per square kilometre ratio than the disgraceful 1.3km/km² that we have now.
By the time we add the larger catamaran ferries, bigger and more multi-function jetties, complete the existing rail lines and add more, build more multi-modal hubs/terminals, especially at the entry points of the state to reduce heavy goods vehicles traffic, we will succeed in our goal of reducing Average Commute Time by at least 50%.
If we all work together, we can Make Èkó Great Again.

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? 😳

You make a great point. But when I mentioned graduate in the debate I didn’t necessarily mean EVERY GRADUATE in the sense of everyone leaving a university but more in terms of the young working class.
And to that extent, I believe strongly that we can deliver enough housing for young working class Lagosians which will consequently bring down the cost of rent in the open market and make it much more affordable for those who don’t need our social housing.

GRV DEBATES- ISSUE: 3/5
Cable Cars in Lagos
Under governor Fasola and under KOH as commisioner, a cable car system was proposed and the then commisioner Hamzat was flown to Venezuela and Germany to see how it works and the positive impact it has on the respective cities.
The proposed cable car system consist of 218 cars with each car carrying 38 passengers and moving 55,000 people per hour.
This project was self funded, Lagos could have had this over a decade ago, instead political big wigs of the APC put aside the interest of the collective to possess the lands allocated for this project for themselves.
Lagos deserves better.

ENDSARS AND THE NORMALISATION OF VIOLENCE BY THE APC
A Government that is truly regretful about the Endsars Tragedy, would not consistency threaten violence at citizens, worse still on a solemn remembrance day.
Whilst the APC government might chose to absolve themselves and blame the military, there has been no military presence on Oct 20th every year since, yet their modus operandi is always threats of violence.
This is completely unacceptable.
Lagosians deserve better.

GRV DEBATES- ISSUE: 1/5
FINANCING OUR TRAIN SYSTEM :
Subsovering/ subnationals such as HongKong and Delhi have funded and built their own rail systems.
That said Lagos is too big to be limited by the " sub national" tag. According to Lagos Bureau of statistics, our population is 31.91 million. This is more than the entire population of Zambia , Somalia, Chad, Namibia, Benin Republic,Tunisia, Libya, Hongkong,Singapore, Ireland and Australia,and very close in population to Ghana.
Lagos has the second largest city economy in Africa, second only to Cairo, Egypt.
Infrastructure finance is not only feasible and bankable, but it will be 10 times cheaper to achieve ( by cutting out corrupt procurement pricing of the Apc government).
I have met with the corporations that can finance and deliver our train systems in 2.5 years. All they ask for is an open private sector driven procurement process to ensure competitive bidding and best value procurement to deliver the best value for the people of lagos.
The project will pay itself back over 30 years and Lagos can then use its budget to subsidize transport for the registered vulnerable in our society such as the pensioners and aged.
