@jidesanwoolu Dear Gov, we appreciate your concern for Lagosians. I believe Lagosians know it's not a hoax but their doubts came when @followlasg and @lshaofficial remained silent when an assembly-woman allegedly misused Cacovid19 palliatives. People lost their trust in d govt's #COVID19 tale
@jidesanwoolu @followlasg @lshaofficial They found it difficult to reconcile a govt sharing info about the severity of #COVID19 and it socio-economic impact on lagosians then on the other hand giving these relief material to the most impacted in Lagos.
@jidesanwoolu @followlasg @lshaofficial While a plant producing 300 cylinders per day isn't adequate giving the fact that Lagos population is estimated at 25mill, we must commend your efforts to take some action.

I must point out that you must take action on those responsible for not distributing palliatives timely..
@jidesanwoolu @followlasg @lshaofficial When people trust you they will take govt publications and info more seriously, becos the trust the govt.

As Gvnor it's commendable to continue to appeal to lagosian to observe #Covid19guidelines, but I must point out some take aways that your office needs to address urgently..
@jidesanwoolu @followlasg @lshaofficial For Lagosians to observe Covid19 Guidelines the Govt has a big part to play and must address the following or it will just be a joke to everyone including your taskforce for Covid19.
1. Transportation
2. Markets
3. Lagos Ministry's
4. Bus Terminus
@jidesanwoolu @followlasg @lshaofficial I do not know if your situation room gives you these feedback but I have decided to give you an open feedback that should help your govt if implemented immediately. BRT buses and regular danfo buses are always overcrowded with people being lapped. Fix this
@jidesanwoolu @followlasg @lshaofficial Solution:
For BRTs: Have a compliance officer at all BRT terminus ensuring buses comply with the seating capacity in line with the guidelines. Create a whistle blower number to have passengers report defaulting drivers.

For Privately owned BRTs, govt must design a financial..
@jidesanwoolu @followlasg @lshaofficial .. support for them so they are able to pay and retain their staff. Nose mask/handwash should be make available for passengers at all BRT terminus, they won't be charged for it.

For danfo or smaller buses a financial support should be given to bus owners to observe d guidelines
@jidesanwoolu @followlasg @lshaofficial Implementation online booking, scheduling, feedback and driver rating for all BRT buses routes. This reduces wait time at terminal and queue's.

Sir to appreciate my feedback, you would have to wait on the queue, buy your BRT ticket and have your first Bus day (No Cars)
@jidesanwoolu @followlasg @lshaofficial It's sad the Markets and some govt offices don't have #COVID19 protocol in place. The Market are the height of non compliances to your guidelines.

Markets: Fix it

Govt MDA's: This is unimpressive because the govt is hoping to lead by example but it's MDA's are not

Fix it

@James40192029 @MaziNnamdiKanu @MBuhari U called me a fool for demanding that Kanu not focus his energy on inciting violence but rather find ways to better our Nation.

I was shocked when I saw, you retweeted @TracyZille tweet. Saying exactly what I said.

Is she correct bcos she is white

@NnadozieOmire @bishopwythe Image
@James40192029 @MaziNnamdiKanu @MBuhari @TracyZille @NnadozieOmire @bishopwythe If you didn't get @TracyZille tweet b4 retweeting, I will explain it to you.

The western economies of d world (US, UK, EU and now India & China) use the long found weapon of tribalism and ethnicity to keep us where we are. And Mr Kanu strategy is playing into their hands.
@James40192029 @MaziNnamdiKanu @MBuhari @TracyZille @NnadozieOmire @bishopwythe I have never claimed to have all the knowledge of the world no one does. When you insult others online it shows your character. I am open to superior arguments that helps us better understand our Nation so we can excel.

One thing we do not do as Nigerians is ask questions.

@bishopwythe @MaziNnamdiKanu @MBuhari @NGRPresident @nassnigeria I totally agree with you but the right question is how. Just off the top of my head, groups (SE & SW) calling to exit the union have 3 main methods.

1. Insurgency
2. Referendum
3. Elections

Insurgency: Create a militia that fight your cause, hitting military facilities..
@bishopwythe @MaziNnamdiKanu @MBuhari @NGRPresident @nassnigeria This means they will have to go underground, train the militia and equip them. Take over state by state till the complete 5 SE have their flags. Then they can declare themselves a Nation.

PROS:
1. Fight and die for what you believe in
2. Prove to others you are not a coward
@bishopwythe @MaziNnamdiKanu @MBuhari @NGRPresident @nassnigeria CONS:
1. Lose more lives than the Nigerian Civil war(1967-1970)
2. Socioeconomic collapse of the SE, SW and Other regions
3. A war-torn refugee nation
4. A state of insecurity for women and children (Our present insecurity will be a childs play)
5. No recognition by UN (Taiwan)

@NnadozieOmire @MaziNnamdiKanu @MBuhari Same precolonial profiling you complain about is what you are held down with. I believe the Malaysian didn't want the Singaporeans but look back in history, not being wanted may be in your best interest.

You continue to fill forms like
State of origin, LG of origin etc.
@NnadozieOmire @MaziNnamdiKanu @MBuhari Nnadozie who cares about your ethnicity when you step out of Nigeria?

Sadly No One.

No one cares about Kanu's ethnicity in the UK, only his nationality. And if his present country is tag terrorist, armed militia, prostitutes, drug cartel, 419. We all are tagged also.
@NnadozieOmire @MaziNnamdiKanu @MBuhari I want to leave the union as much as you but I am not fool by mere words I need concrete plans on how we are to achieve this. Hating others in the union isn't also the plan bcos them would be tomorrows trading partners when you exit the union.

What is the #BiafraExit plan?

@Afrikanomics @MYANC @ayittey I slightly disagree that its western style that has caused our National issues as African nations but rather poor leadership, a rotting value system and greed. Our culture's in their own right has also mitigated against our own growth. I will use Nigeria to question his position
@Afrikanomics @MYANC @ayittey D title is appealing to Africans because we naturally refuse to take d blame for our own demise rather place it on other externalities other than ourselves. But many questions arise as I consider Mr Ayittey suggestions? Let's imagine #Nigeria makes d switch before 2023 elections
@Afrikanomics @MYANC @ayittey Q1. How many persons will be elected to d National council? Will it be one person per ethnic groups in Nigeria or will it be based on ethnic size.

My take is that the major ethnic groups will make claim to majority seats in the National Council as we have it today. No change

Are @jidesanwoolu directives being enforced by @followlasg? How effective is public adherence to #COVID19 regulations and is @NCDCgov effectively building itself as a credible govt agency ?

Are govt MDA at the Fed, State & LG levels observing these protocols.

#threadPNG2050
Stopped at Domino's pizza #ikorodu to get pizza for my in-laws. Made use of the app so I only had to pick up. Got in to pick up and there was a crowd at there and at #Coldstone.

If the govt believes that #COVID19 is serious then why is it slack with enforcing it's protocol.
On my way to Ikorodu almost all the BRT's had 3 - 10% of commuters using their nose mask. In smaller buses almost no one wore nose mask. No @PoliceNG or @followlastma officer wore a nose mask.

I think private establishments enforce some of these regulation better than the govt

Dear @solomon_rep,

I saw saw the proposed bill you presented at @HouseNGR. My question is simple: How is this bill going to change the ineffectiveness of the LGA? How will further disempowerment of the LGA get it closer to the people?
Has the @HouseNGR ever challenged State Gvnors for not releasing funds to their LGA? If Gvnors do not give the funds that a constitutionally the right of the LGA, how then do you think they will fund it when it isn't a constitutional tier of Govt? These should be how we think
We should ask questions first when a problem exists, after which we can investigate one state in each region, then you have the appropriate committee brainstorm on d best cause for action that gets governance to the people. This eliminates any short sightedness in pushing a bill
