Lagos state PDP gubernatorial candidate Jimi Agbaje, has promised to pull down the Lekki/Epe toll gates, if elected next governor of the state. He said this at a peaceful protest, tagged March for freedom, organised by Freedom Group in Lekki
"I am here to show solidarity with you on the issue of the toll plaza for which you are marching today and assure you that when we get into office, these toll gates will come down; I will demolish all of them. The public/private partnership, PPP, arrangement behind this project is not transparent.
Look at the BRT and Lagos light rail projects, they are collapsing because the PPP arrangements they have on ground are not sustainable. The light rail which was supposed to have been ready since 2012, is grounded and this is because of vested interests of a few people. The PPP arrangements are skewed to favour only a few people, so for me, I am in solidarity with you and a vote for us is a vote for freedom, a vote to bring down the toll plazas.” Mr Agbaje said (source -Vanguard)

Linda Ikeji

Linda Ikeji has broken the internet by officially becoming Nigeria’s number one news/gossip content website after overtaking the almighty ‘Nairaland;’ a website that had remained Nigeria’s number one website for a stretch of years. For the records, Nairaland, while it was Nigeria’s number one website, (and because it was number one) had an offer of $5 million to sell  and smile to the bank but guess what, the brain behind Nairaland refused to sell for any price; to show how valuable the website was but as at the time of writing this, Nairaland has lost the number one spot to Linda Ikeji; who now owns a website we estimate to be worth over N1.1 billion judging by the $5 million offer Nairaland once turned down; with the current exchange rate pegged at $1 exchanging for N220. This offer came years ago and by implication, if the offer were to be made today, it would by all means exceed the earlier $5 million offer, which points to one irrefutable fact – Linda Ikeji’s blog is presently worth much more but we’ll sit and have a drink with the aforementioned figure for the time being.
