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? 😳

A NEW DIMENSION OF TOXIC POLITICS IN NIGERIA
The new dimension of toxic politics that Nigeria has developed since 2025,
I arrived at the airport at 7 a.m. this morning to board my flight to Enugu. There, I saw the Nigeria Under-17 girls' team, which had just arrived and was preparing to board its vehicle into town.
With genuine joy and enthusiasm, I asked my Protocol Officer, Jackie Wayas, to find out whether I could greet and welcome the team. I was informed that officials of the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) had refused and had requested that I not approach them because, if I did, they would all lose their jobs.
Regrettably, this is not the first time I have been subjected to such treatment. On March 25, 2025, I was in Uyo for the World Cup qualifier. The governor warmly received me and welcomed me at the VIP stand. Following the match, other government officials went to greet the players, but I was again prevented from doing so. I was told by the officials that they would lose their jobs if I proceeded.
It is deeply troubling to witness the extent of toxic politics into which our nation has descended since 2025. Each year appears to bring further deterioration. This reflects how deeply Nigeria has been affected.
The new Nigeria we aspire to build must have no room for hostility, intimidation, or discrimination, regardless of political affiliation. It must be a Nigeria in which unity, mutual respect, and our shared humanity take precedence over political differences.
A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

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.

One of the biggest reasons it is so easy to fool people on this issue, is because most people do not realise, that Trans Rights are highly compatible with Islam while Gay Rights are not.
Because Transgenderism is highly homophobic and misogynistic, just as Islam is highly homophobic and misogynistic.
Both Islam and Transgenderism do not respect the exclusive same sex attraction homosexuality of gay men or lesbian women.
Both Islam and Transgenderism rely on regressive stereotypes of masculinity and femininity, and in an Islamic worldview, being Trans will always be more useful than being Gay because the trans framework allows Muslims to push effeminate men out of maleness (see Iran forcing Gay men to transition), and to further qualify masculine women for harsher punishment for not staying in the designated social place for females.
It's also incredibly useful for surveilling females (prior Muslim dynasties used an adjacent idea of Eunuchs to surveil cloistered females in intimate spaces using nullified men)
So is it surprising that a Muslim man supports Trans ideology or Trans rights or Transgenderism?
BIG FAT NOOOOOOOO
U.S Senator, Abdul El-Sayed defends trans rights in new interview:
“I believe in rights. And even though somebody might use rights that you don’t understand, you never mean to use yourself, you still got to show up and fight for those rights.”“The minute you ascent to government taking anybody’s rights, whether you use them or you don’t, you are assenting to government taking everybody’s rights.

Yesterday, I joined His Excellency, Mr Peter Obi and many others at the Trade Fair Complex to honour and celebrate the life and times of Chief Okey Ezeibe together with his family and the business community.
While the loss of Chief Ezeibe is deeply painful, I encouraged the family to take consolation in the fact that he was a highly respected pillar of several communities, and that his impactful contributions and towering legacy will be remembered and felt long after his passing.
May His Industrious Soul Rest In Peace. Amen.

Are you a mad man?! Vote my candidate? No vote for a better Nigeria. God go real punish you. – at Oke Mosan, Nigeria
I just love how this election thing is turning out.
Instead of winning people over with love, you're all cussing out the people whose supports you need to vote your candidate. OK now

The affluent lifestyles, expensive cars and sheer opulence they enjoy. Yet, we are all expected to accept a “hard reset” and “endure” for the sake of the long term.
There are always resources for all these nonsense. Zero sincerity of purpose!
Oya nau.

🇳🇬 DID YOU KNOW?
In 2014, former Minister of Environment, John Odey, credited former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi with playing an instrumental role in the creation of the Nigeria Erosion and Watershed Management Project (NEWMAP).
The project was established to address severe soil erosion, land degradation and related environmental challenges across Nigeria.

Since I woke up this morning, I've taken my time to go through the comments, quotes, and advice people have shared. Trust me, I'm going to take every single piece of advice seriously. However, there's one advice I will not take, and that's people telling me to stay away from politics and focus solely on my business.
I think I responded to someone's comment suggesting that we should vote for Peter Obi, and I noticed that quite a number of people dragged me for it. But honestly, why should I be told not to talk about politics and just concentrate on my business? Who do you think put me in the situation I'm currently in? Is it not the government? I shouldn't talk about politics, but politics is talking about me. Do you understand how badly government policies have affected my business and my livelihood?
I'm genuinely grateful to everyone who came through for me, but the truth is, I'm still going to bear losses. And who created the economic conditions that contributed to those losses? The government.
Let me also address those who believe I made a financial mistake by opening the shop in the first place. Yes, perhaps there were things I could have done differently, but let me give you some context. My shop is strategically located between two major universities in Port Harcourt: the University of Science and Technology (UST) and Ignatius Ajuru University. These institutions have thousands of students. Do you honestly think these students don't want cookies? Why do you think I chose that location in the first place? The idea was simple: students from both universities would make up a significant part of my customer base.
Interestingly, since this whole support campaign started, a good number of the people who have shown up to support me are students from these same universities. They have always been my target audience. But the problem is that the economy has destroyed their purchasing power. These students, who ordinarily would patronise my business, are now more concerned about paying school fees, feeding themselves, and meeting their basic needs.
And somehow, I'm being told not to talk about politics?
You're telling me to focus on my business, post my products, and leave politics alone. But why can't I do both? Why can't I promote my business and also speak about the political leadership and candidate I believe can bring about the change we desperately need? Why shouldn't I advocate for someone I believe can help change the circumstances that have made running a small business this difficult?
I was fortunate that my situation gained attention and people rallied around me. But what happens the next time? Will I have to depend on a viral post before I can make meaningful sales? Is that how a business should survive? Absolutely not.
I appreciate every single person who has supported me, advised me, encouraged me, and shown me love. I will take the business advice, learn from my mistakes, and make better decisions going forward.
But please, don't tell me to stop talking about politics. The economy is affecting my business. Government policies are affecting my customers. The political decisions being made in this country have direct consequences on my livelihood.
I cannot separate my business struggles from the politics and economic realities that contribute to them. I have every right to speak about both.
PLEASE VOTE PETER OBI!!! ✌️

DEAR CRISTIANO RONALDO,
I honestly don’t know where to begin. My hands are shaking and my heart is heavy writing this.
I hated you when you played for Manchester United, not because you weren’t good, but because you were too good against my team. When you moved to Madrid, I realised I never hated you; I just hated seeing you play for my rival.
Growing up as a little girl, I dreamed of becoming a footballer and you were my inspiration. We had a box television and I would sit and watch your games. I loved your football, your confidence and goodness, that smile! Your pictures were everywhere, from my bedroom walls to my notebooks.
You were more than a footballer to me. You represented hard work, resilience and the courage to stand against the world and still win.
There was a time I almost dropped out of school, but watching your journey kept me going. I am here today, and a part of my story has you in it.
When Portugal crashed out of the 2022 World Cup, I broke down. I cried so much that I collapsed and was admitted to the hospital. I kept wondering how you were coping. I wish I could have hugged you that night.
Today, I am a mother and I have named my son after you. I hope he gets to watch you play before you finally hang up your boots. I want him to know that his name belongs to a man who inspired his mother long before he was born.
You made millions of people fall in love with Portugal without ever visiting the country. You gave us memories, sleepless nights, arguments, celebrations and a lifetime of emotions.
I don’t know how to accept that I may never watch you wear that Portugal shirt again. But I am grateful I lived in your generation.
I know there is no marriage in heaven, but I sincerely hope there is football. I hope we get to watch you play again in Abraham’s bosom.
Thank you for making my childhood beautiful. Thank you for being my childhood hero.
Happy retirement from international football, IDOLO.
You may never know me, but you will forever be part of my story. ❤️🇵🇹
SIIIIUUUU!
