#Thread
That’s not all that’s been done in Lagos State. For many years LASG tried to get the Presidential Lodge in Marina transferred to Lagos State, PDP, hell-bent on sabotaging Lagos on every angle, said no. Until Buhari came to office. channelstv.com/2017/12/12/20-… @DeleMomodu
Just in November @AsoRock secured funding from JICA for an upgrade of the Apapa Transmission a Substation, serving the Port Complex and environs. Tens of thousands of Lagosians will benefit from improved power: jica.go.jp/english/mobile… @DeleMomodu
Meanwhile what’s the PDP legacy of 16 years in Lagos, @DeleMomodu ??

- Lagos LG Funds seized/SC disobeyed
- Critical approvals delayed/ignored
- Boasts about ‘seizing’ Lagos
- Lagos-Ibadan Express left unfixed
- No new Rail Line for Lagos
- Major Lagos Roads left unfixed
Egbon @DeleMomodu, I’m sure you’ve seen this video... Is this what you’re recommending for Lagos State?
Dear @DeleMomodu - more for the thread. For 16 years PDP was obsessed with undermining Lagos. #NeverAgain

Spending the morning on a Rice Mill in Kano. They’re reporting a massive increase in quantity (and quality) of available paddy - a lot of people have gone into farming, & milling capacity also growing fast. This rice revolution is real, people google.com/amp/s/amp.ft.c…
#PMB4Plus4
Local production is up significantly, but we still have some way to go until it meets all of local demand. That’s the simple reason why it’ll take some time for prices to come down to levels Nigerians are anticipating. Demand is still ahead of supply, but supply is growing fast.
MD of one of the Rice Mills in Kano tells me: “A lot of people have gone back to the farms. People are now struggling to find land to farm. Places that were uncultivated before have now turned to farms... It’s not just rice, it’s beans, maize, etc.”

The Co. is struggling across what should be its growth markets of Africa & Asia. Doesn’t have to have anything to do with Buhari, LOL. You know that -but you must pander to your audience. Companies face competition,struggle to adapt to changing times etc. Not everything politics.
.@Chxta - There are such things as business cycles. There is also competition (look at how Molfix ate Pampers’ lunch), changing consumer tastes, changing industry conditions, changing corporate priorities (such as when GE decides to globally quit the rail business), etc etc.
What’s interesting is that the macroeconomic conditions in Nigeria have actually improved rather than declined over the last 1-2 years. Inflation down from 18% to 11%, currency stable, Manufacturing PMI has seen 20+ consecutive months of increase 🤷🏾‍♂️

#Ibadan today was #PDPSouthWestRally and the mobilisation from the states of the SW was massive.

In order of size: my dearest Osun was number one. They were everywhere - seems the rivalry between Senator Ademola Adeleke and Akin Ogunbiyi is making them both work hard for Atiku.
Ogunbiyi brought in like ten campaign vehicles all branded for Atiku and filled with people. Demola Adeleke also brought huge numbers in buses and one particularly funny limousine branded in campaign colours.

Akogun Lere Oyewunmi was also massive everywhere, Peter Babalola too.
Osun took over #Ibadan as though it was their territory - I can comfortably predict that PDP will win Osun for Atiku massively and win at least two senatorial seats.

Even House of Assembly candidates like @faruqabbas mobilised down there for the #PDPSouthWestRally.

Everything this present govt has done is to suffocate Igbo's and their businesses, I spoke with an Hausa man I met yesterday, he said to me that the crisis in the North has driving most Igbos out of their business, for that there is no more jobs that's why he came down to East.
He said to me that it is the igbos that is moving Nigeria forward in terms of business, I was startled upon his confection, I know many northerners know this, yet, those in power wld not give us a soft landing ground to continue doing what we know best.
They plan for standard gauge rail and dry ports linking Southwest to the North, they plan international cargo airport all for the Northerner's, what happened to the Southeast? Election is coming and they are talking about Igbos will get more, more what? More exclusion? #

President @MBuhari Administration is getting Nigeria back on track with Rail revolution. #PMBProjects #RailUpNg👇🏾
Nigeria’s Narrow-Gauge Rail System was conceived in the 1890s and built between 1898 & 1926, with a total length of 3,500KM. It consists of two primary lines; Lagos to Nguru and Port Harcourt to Maiduguri with spur lines to Eleme, Baro, Kaura Namoda and other places. #PMBProjects
These critical economic assets have since become decrepit, having suffered significant decline due to lack of investments in infrastructure maintenance.

2/ Conceived in the 1980s, construction commenced in 1987. Subsequent administrations failed to complete it and put it to use. President Buhari takes it as a priority project and is committed to completing it by 2019. #RailUPng #GovtAtWorkNG
