denitro: New rent law
New traffic law
The guy has gotten my vote

is that sarcasm?

Seun:
Shouldnt helping the poor (as opposed to oppressing and tormenting them) be a important component of any plan to make Nigeria better? How can we claim that Nigeria is getting better if things are actually getting worse for the poor among us? Don't the masses matter anymore?

So how is Fashola responsible for these pple's misfortune? Who you want to be is a matter of choice! At 18 and above u're regarded as adult and should be responsible for ur decisions. Or since when has okada riding become a vocation? Some even called govt names for bulldozin their houses built under a phcn high tension cables. PPle should wake up and take responsibility for their actions and stop blaming everything on govt.

Fashola is the most overated governor in the world, Lagos roads are in terrible shape, he keeps patching and repatching them,public schools in lagos are the exclusive preserves of housemaid, health facilities are in shambles,portable water is non existent, unemployment remains high, yet he keeps screaming megacity like a parrot, mega city my foot

I think dignifying the OP with factual answers is a step too far. Please let's stop denigrating this forum, finding answers to brainless posters.

remmyz:


The Fashola administration has taken laudable steps towards
improving agriculture and food security in the state in the last
three years. Amongst several others, the administration
recently introduced cages and pens fish farming techniques at
the Lagoon front of the University of Lagos, Akoka, Lagos, and
in the open water at Idale Whedakoh, Badagry Local
Government Area; Oto/Awori, Ojo Local Government; Ise,
Ibeju-Lekki Local Government Area; Oko-Orisan, Epe Local
government Area; Ijede, Ikorodu Local Government Area;
Badore, Eti-Osa Local Government Area and at Gbaji-Yeke in
Badagry West Local Council Development Area of the state.
The cage and pen project is expected to produce more than
600,000 tones of fish yearly aside its immense potential for
export and job creation.
Other key projects being pursued by the State Government
include: rice-for-job at Itoikin in Epe and Itoga in Badagry, Eko
Meat Van, Agricultural Empowerment Scheme (YES) and the
proposed cattle ranch in Epe. Equally worthy of note is the
establishment of two seed gardens in Epe with a capacity to
produce 250,000 seedlings of various types of trees,
vegetables, fruits and crops.

nitrogen: Everyone knows that you are a PDP agent, your type will never be frank and realistic for once.

If I'm a PDP agent, why did I vote for ACN in the governorship elections even though I didn't even know the candidate? And why am I recommending Oshiomhole as the better candidate? When did Oshiomhole join PDP?

... O boy, I tot I was the only one o. I lived in Ikorodu for 8 terrible years, traffic wise. Got to a time I took it for granted (Ikorodu -Ketu/Ojota) 4 times I had Okada Accident and all 4 I was miraculously saved, till I stopped and started planning my trips (leave home 5.30am on any day and return past 11 @ night. I remember one I had an Okada accident, If you say the diary I used to break my fall, you'll thank God for my life....

A-ZeD:

I was part of the people who used to enter ikorodu to Ojota

Even if he is priviledge to run as a gov in lagos state the third time he will not even get 7% of the vote talk not of presidency, let him continue to daydream! Ho my boss once told me dream is sweet even when the out come is unknown, fashola is free to dream he can even plan to contest for UN president. Ode #omotorieope# he thought presidency is like the district officer job he is doing in lagos. Mtche

but GEJ,OBASANJO,ABACHA,BABANGIDA etc were all qualified shey nitwit

bilms: I have observed that the media propaganda of the Lagos State Governor is still enjoying much relevance,especially on nairaland despite clear failure of his administration.

Many things i read about Fashola on nairaland speak contrary of the reality on ground,a little survey among the masses in your area would speak for itself.


Just within the last two weeks, the Fashola for presidency thing has made it to the front page God knows how many times.

So i ask, what exactly has foshala done to deserve a presidency?

Is it the increment of The Lagos State University fee from 25,000 to 250,000 that made him worth the presidency?
Is it the crazy Lekki toll gate fee, which when protested ordered the protesters crushed?
Is it the promise of demolishing Katangwa market,denying over 30,000 people means of livelihood with a promise of not providing any alternative?
Is it the demolishing and killing of some residence of Makoko Community?
Is it the Ban of Okada without any meaningful steps toward re engagements of the citizens?

Many crazy things just to mention but few.

What exactly has he done to deserve this inhuman promotion? A government of oppression on the masses and the less privileged.

A government of under developing the people in the name of developing the state. A government with no consideration for human welfarism.

Anyway, no matter how much this propaganda machine tries,Nigerians are no fools..

..... helping the poor should me wanton lawlessness, disregard for safety and value of life, drop in quality and values?? I wonder how some of you reason.

Please, Adams Oshiomole is a rookie where the likes of Fashola stands in terms of governance.......

Seun: Adams Oshiomhole, a man of the people. he performs but he also cares about the masses, unlike Fashola.

Two people from the south cant hold the presidency in Nigeria. The will only get 1% of the northern votes and the south south will preferably vote for GEJ if he remains the presidential hopeful for the PDP in 2015.

bilms: From your comment that you have no clue on what democracy and good governance is all abt.

Most of the folks in here dont know wat democracy really is but I dont blame them thiugh. Fashola's policies are too elitist.

Yoshi-Master:
Honestly though, I think you have to applaud Fash for everything he has done besides the toll gate.

You never toll existing roads, you just don't do it. You build new fresh ALTERNATE roads and you toll those, simple.

I don't think u know d former state of that road. The road was a dillapidated,pot-hole filled, 2 lane road, but he widened it, added sidewalks, round-abouts and markers...in short, he modernized it...and tolled it b'cos if he decided to wait for Federal Government, he might wait forever.

[roteemee]With all due respect,I think u very doll.no hard feelings but am really offended with all your point. if you can not afford lASU,pls are there no other fed university in the country?I will advice you sleep over your thought before posting them. Mutherfucker

is lasu fashola's father own school?
It is a public school, therefore it make it an open system, which should be ready to welcome criticism from the populace sometimes i wonder where you people learn. Sheooooor

He re-invigourated waste disposal and now, there are a lot of waste-disposal companies employing *the poor*,he's building housing estates and who are the labourers,carpenters,iron-benders etc?? *the poor*, there are street sweepers and who are they?? *the poor*,the gardens he planted need maintainance and who carries it out?? *the poor* He widens an existing road,complete with concrete drainage and guess whose property's value shoots up??...etc This is just a bit of what he's doin and how it affects *the poor*. There was a time u would see okadas carrying fresh carcass of cows nd such drippin blood but he introduced airconditioned meat vans, not to talk of Oshodi and other rowdy areas he's been able to sanitize,street-lights,road and street signs..........Pls, I don't want to ever go back to Pre-Fashola Lagos because i know what it was like. I'v lived here all my life so if u have no direct experience of it......just zip it.

Simply because, you had no choice and your vote wouldn't even make any difference.

Perhaps you are waking up to reality as regards your recommendation, but the man(oshiomhole) is still a rookie (as someone earlier pointed out) and freshie in politics.

Fine, fashola is a tough man, but that is needed to make this country great, we need an action man and not a dullard, that can not only form policies but implement them for the betterment of lives in Nigeria.

LOL..

Fashola for president? Nigerians are DOOMED through his tenure. The man is a dictator under the guise of democratic governance.

[mapet]..... helping the poor should me wanton lawlessness, disregard for safety and value of life, drop in quality and values?? I wonder how some of you reason.

My friend dont you do management and leadership in school? Even if you didnt go beyond ssce atleast you should take social studies as a course at the js level, what should be the first priority of anyman? Is it cosmetics? No. Face reality development is good but not to hurt the less priviledge that makes you a leader of style not to rob the poor of their belongings in the name of non existence development and mega city, i beg shine your eye fraudster at rampage and their new leader is fashola.

We've never experienced democracy before in this country. But Fashola started the trend of performance based Governance that other Governors are now adopting. He's shown a sign that he has a direction and people are encouraging him,who would you rather have and what are their track records?? He's got his Flaws but he's better than a large percentage of leaders we have.

Yeah the truth is I love that road, no difference between it and yankee roads. Call me naive, but I just believe it could have been accomplished using Lagos funds with an HONEST bidding process.

I also wish he would follow through to the end, for instance they could invest in more technology with the generated funds from toll to ease the traffic there, by opening up the barrier in front of the lanes for those that have tags. The technology would allow for cars that pass and don't have tags to be billed heavier based on tracking license plate numbers, cause right now that toll gate is really a joke and a hazzard in some ways. The ratio of lanes with tags to those without should be at least 2:1.

All in all he is a thinking man, and he has shown a glipse of what can be done with good intentions and a bit of follow through. I just hope there is somebody out there that possesses these same qualities, but also loves his people dearly, and wants to follow through to the end.

Is it not better to have a dictator who brings about positive change than to have a president voted for based on sentiment like Goodluck and not function at all? The problem we have in this country is we want change but we are not ready to make sacrifices.

i don't see the need for this thread in the first place. OP most be a paid agent

How dare you compare fashola with oshiomhole?
Oshiobaba that has been dealing with political strongmen since his days at NLC and even now in edo state.
Is it fashola that is been bullied about by Tinubu in lagos state,that is an expert in governance?
Guy abeg go hug transformer.
Comparing fashola and oshiobaba in governance in Nigeria is sacriledge.
Fashola is no fit to loose oshiobaba's shoe-strings.

you are wrong here, oshomole is smarter than fashola, no be noise, come to think of it, oshomole understand nigeria political terain even more than your so called fashola. Considering the political cv of oshiomole, he has always dine with the federal govt as a labour leader where is fashola then? Some of you children on nairaland amuses me sometime, do you know ACN would have lost in edo if not for oshomole? You may not know the underground work oshiomole did to retain his position but dont even compare fashola with oshiomole the gap is there. Fashola is only priviledge to be a governor of a ready made state by the federal govt that it.

He has rendered way too many masses unemployed by banning okada and by displacing the.poor in makoko, and he still intends to displace even more.
Again his policies only.favour the rich.

Apparently, you have no idea what "democracy" is. Democracy is nothing but a system of govt for the people and by the people...PERIOD. At least, that was how I learned back in high school.

This has nothing to do with growth and development. China is an autocratic nation aspiring to be a world power behind U.S. while in Africa, Libya was once an authoritarian govt that enriched and developed it's citizens. None of these two nations practice "DEMOCRACY". A system of govt regardless of development or not.

Lot of people's concern isn't that Fashola ain't working, perhaps he is, but the concern is Fashola DOES NOT consult "THE PEOPLE" who put him in government. Fashola, inadvertently is suppressing freedoms in several ways - if he can ban a whole lot of sh.it without consulting the public on serious issues, when he has the power - Commander-in-Chief of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Fashola is the type to suppress speech, and even execute those who stand in his way.

Regardless of how your works are, that's a serious red flag. When you cannot commune with those whom you govern, that's a problem. Ask former Mayor Adrian Fenty of DC govt, he learned the hard way, HE WILL NEVER run for any office in the DC govt because people already know him and WOULD NEVER vote for him.

Fashola is just overhyped because he's d only ACN governor that is attempting to do somethingi; the likes of Akwa Ibom, Rivers, Ondo, Edo and Imo state governors are doing far better than Fashola.
