Elueme: In a simplified term, can these bootlickers state emphatically what Fashola had done? Agreed, he had made some tough policies which are futuristic though pseudoactivists would have grounded the country had those policies been made by any pdp government. If an ACN govt comes on board and remove fuel subsidy, nigerians will assume it's a right policy. We need to have a rethink and stop being biased so nigeria can grow.THE QUESTION IS-NAME ANY GOVERNOR IN NIGERIA THAT HAS MADE MORE IMPACT ON THE STATE THEY LEAD THAN FASHOLA?...I PITY YOU ALL,BETTER START HARRASSING YOUR INEFFECTIVE GOVERNORS,COS WHEN THE BUBBLE BURSTS ALL MAN WILL RETURN TO HIS LAND.JUST AN ADVICE,STOP LOOKING AT ANOTHER MAN'S STATE. |

Nigeria is a place where enough people voted for a man to "win" a presidential election because "he had no shoes". The next President may well be elected because "he didn't understand English". No matter how much we might want to praise Fashola, he got to power on the back of godfatherism. It is that same godfatherism that might frustrate his presidential ambition. |

dederocs: Fashola will be a much better president than this sham we have now.Goodluck is just basking in the euphoria of being a president,he has no vision.Fashola has balls,he has the decisive nature of a true leader,much more intelligent and articulate than Goodluck,and he understands the aspirations of the majority.FASHOLA FOR PRESIDENT. Indeed. Such a huge ball that he cannot confront his godfather Tinubu who steals huge chunk of his Lagos State resources via various schemes, but would rather chase hapless okada riders all over the city. Balls indeed! 1 Like |

People should stop building castles in the air. If we go by achievements, Donald Duke ought to be our President, I beleive it was during his tenure that Calabar became the capital city of Nigerian tourism. Akpabio should also be a contender for his infrastructural revolution in Akwa-Ibom. Rochas for his educational reforms, we could go on. I repeat, Fashola's impact on Lagos is lope-sided. He is being hyped because he attacked the main problem facing Lagos. |

In Nigeria,who votes for a leader based on accomplishments?Very few! Even if Fashola transforms Lagos into Dubai,it won't be a yard stick for him to win the presidential election,with the kind of rogue politicians and 'invincible' Cabals and Mafia of this country. But things could change if the majority of masses know their rights and are ready to protect them,then remove ethnic and religious sentiments from our minds. But I don't see that happening for now. 3 Likes |

Gbawe: The article makes simplistic assumptions with how it wishes to relate Nigeria to Nations where you go from A to B and then C. Nigeria is simply not at the stage where people are ready to cast aside sentiments and entrenched biases to go with merit. I may be wrong but I think Fashola has no hope of becoming President in 2015 but that is not really a big deal for the man himself considering he is someone who just loves to keep busy providing solutions. There will be plenty for him to lay his hands on home and abroad. If OBJ, a crude tool, is junketing around the world in all manners of roles, then Fashola has no worries about remaining fulfilled beyond politics. Fashola will surely be coveted immensely even if not by Nigerians. I agree with you 1000000% Nigerians will reject a Fashola presidency, because most of us are not sophisticated or educated enough to vote strictly on past performance. On the other hand, the west loves people of his experience and credibility. Since we Nigerians refuse to use such people, they will always find an appointment for them in Development Agencies. Ribadu, Oby Ekwesilieze, and Okonjo Iweala (before GEJ debacle), are examples. For our peculiar politics, the man to beat is Adams Oshiomole. GEJ cannot win him in a free and fair election in Nigeria. Never. 3 Likes |

maclatunji: Nigeria is a place where enough people voted for a man to "win" a presidential election because "he had no shoes". Is it not unfortunate that even the so-called performing governors in Nigeria all got to power via godfatherism? This means that with the exception of Oshiomole, no Nigerian governor got a first term mandate by name recognition. I welcome challenges to this assertion. |

401kk: Being a state governor is very different from being a president. Though I'm not trying undermine or downplay his achievements and pedigree, but I honestly believe he will not perform to our expected yardstick if he becomes president. He should endeavour to engage in other meaningful political activities after 2015.THEN WHO DO YOU SUGGEST FOR PRESIDENCY? AN UNTESTED HAND WITHOUT A TRACK RECORD? 1 Like |

aryzgreat: Fashola ko fashy ola ni, mtchewwwwwwwwww I'm from the East, and I do not see how the statement that 'if you cannot abide with the laws of Lagos, you should go to your village' can be intepreted as a tribal statement. Anyway, my IQ is above the average Nigerian, sha. Let me ask you: does the statement not cover Ogun State residents of Lagos and Oyo state residents of Lagos? They said he deported Igbos to the East, the guy said he never authorized such, yet you guys still say he did. What da f@ck is wrong with Nigerians, sef. My only problem with Fashola is his close alliance with Tinubu. But then, if made president, Tinubu had better watch it. The President of Nigeria is the most powerful executive in any democracy in the world. Nigeria's presidents always fall out with their political benefactors. 4 Likes |

dederocs: Forget Okada issue. Going by general appraisal, in recent time Fashola administration has deteriorated. His CGP has dropped to pass in fact edging to fail. He is not fix to be Chairman of any Local Government in Lagos State where he had gotten mouth not to approach 36 state & FCT. Even his benefactor (Tinubu) is not there all at this time. Before now, easily Tinubu can push in Governor but now ordinary Local Government Chairman has been a difficult task for him to achieve. Do you know that more than 3 CDA/ LG in Lagos state had been taken over from ACN through court injunction? |

One thing you people fail to understand is; the people that has been ruling Nigeria from onset are the not human being  Lets put sentiment aside, they are some fact we need to know about Nigeria: Nigeria is an ethno-religion state which you can find in Lagos as well. For someone to rule Lagos sucessfully i believe if the person to rule Nigeria he/she will perform above average. 2 Likes |

dederocs:I shake my head @ your nauseating ignorance but so you won't continue at this level of dimunitive thinking I will take a little painstaking effort to help you out of your primitive thought. First, development is measured in relativity. Lagos was a developed colony before 1999. It had all the industrous and road networks. It had all the institutions in place and had been the hive of Nigerian economy. Put states like Calabar, Akwa Ibom, Rivers or even Edo in perspective and tell me how many roads fashola had built, how many schools, industries etc he had brought to lagos. If you are familiar with Akwa Ibom in 1999, compare the Akwa Ibom of then and now, then you will understand what performance is about. Take a look at the Tinapa, Obudu cattle ranch innovation of Dukes, then you will understand idealism of leadership. Fashola is charismatic and articulate agreed and I have argued countlessly that even the worst of a leader will succeed in lagos.To your question- Akpabio, Amaechi and even late Yar Adua and former gov Donald Duke had made more impacts in their states than Raji Fashola 3 Likes |

Yay! I made FRONTPAGE! Back to topic. To all those criticizing Fashola. If in 2015, you have the opportunity of choosing between Fashola and GEJ, kindly choose GEJ. As for me and my family, we are making plan B arrangements to relocate to a country where they allow reasonable people to rule them. It's a pity. I love my country, but I am giving my country one last chance. If we do not get it right in the next election,I am migrating...finally this time. 1 Like |
