So is it best to conclude that this Fashola, this great SAN and performing governor of Lagos is a fat liar ?

gbadexy: That na confirm na, lagos economy is definitely bigger than ghana's economy but I doubt if lagos economy or nigerian economy for that matter is bigger than that of U.K

I wonder how you guys misinterpret quotes. he did not say Lagos state economy is bigger, he said positive that means lagos state is expected to perform better than the mentioned countries. where UK is expected to grow at 5% Lagos is expected to grow at 7%. that's what positive outlook on economy means.

What is Maku's bizness in Lagos? The FG makes over a trillion annually from the apapa port and yet Can't fix the apapa road, the airport road is a shame..and after spending billions on third mainland bridge just to fix joints!!!! The bridge is still not stable,no Street lights and poor asphalt resurfacing..
Silly people who can't even pass a budget!

Please don't derail the thread with your usual tribal agenda because you got spotted and called out for what you are. You though hiding under people's posts with your agenda wasn't going to be detected.

You need to grown up and quit this tribal enmity and Fashola hate and obsession because you just keep looking stupid. See how you just got called out and rubbished in the open.


smh..

Lol, because I said he goofed, haha... did Fashola not goof like he does? I have no tribal lenses on me, here's my comment again... So what's tribal about my comments?

Obiora4life:

Just like he has always goofed, tomorrow, Nigeria will wanna compare herself with the U.S. and say we have a better rating than you, whereas U.S. is the worlds largest economy... lol... How about him compare Lagos to Johannesburg, SA or some other cities that are in the same rank and file with Lagos? Lol

It doesn't matter what the facts are and how many times you put it out there, they'll keep ignoring it because they have other agendas that has nothing to do with facts.

IT IS DISHEARTENGNG THAT SOME PEOPLE COMMENTING ON NL CAN NOT PASS SIMPLE ENGLISH COMPREHENSION EXAMS TO JS 1. NO WONDER MANY TOPICS OF GREAT IMPORTANCE THAT TEACH GREAT IDEAS ARE MISSED BECAUSE OF ARGUMENTS ARISING FROM MOST JAUNDICED REASONINGS COMMON WITH SOME PEOPLE HERE. HOW IS THE PHRASE 'RATED ABOVE' IS NOW BE TAKEN AS 'BIGGER THAN'. Methink, 'rated above' could mean any of the following; more efficient, better managed, growing better or faster etc.
PS: Let's try as much as possible to come with clear heads and not to allow such heads to be suffocated with past baseless opinions/arguements/defeats/anger/grief. Thank you.

Dude, please quit the charade, we both know what your deal is? It's still the same tribal anti Fashola rampage and hiding under some new ID don't mean much so you are not fooling anybody.

Hahaha Choi, what has this Fa[sh1t]la been smoking? the economy of Lagos is better/bigger? than Ghana/UK?what's the annual budget of lagos?I don't think it will be up to $4-5 billion.do you know Ghana's budget for 2013?go n find out.utter crap!

Red-Light:

Again, that I said he goofed, how does that translate into tribal words?

Obiora4life:

And your currency has achieved what exactly?

Where do you reserve stand at?

What is Ghana's debt to GDP ratio?

Please tell me how exactly your currency has achieved in positive light of your economy?

which Ghana currency? Cedi. God forbid bad thing. A Ghana Immigration or Custom officer will beg u to give him Naira or even CFA rather than Cedi. Cuz Ghana money no get value.

You're wrong. Financial ratings are not based on economic growth only but other factors

You don't want to appear like you making up stuff. Saying Lagos is rated above U.K looks like he's picking up stats from the air

Red-Light:
why are u following me around? Do i knw u?

Hahahaha.... Bros don't mind him, he is a senseless Ghana man.

Ngwakwe: Why is Fashola so proud to be dishing out unconfirmed Statistics?

Are those overrated, Photoshop and computer printed projects included in those numbers.

Gov. Fashola's performance - Average

Even if you use microscope,you can never see beyond your nose.

Goodysydney: Hahahaha.... Bros don't mind him, he is a senseless Ghana man.

Lagos economy is bigger than those of England, Scotland, Waled and N Ireland combined? Wetin we no go hear for this country. if these politicians must lie they should not be over-ambitious liars. I doubt is Lagos economy is even bigger than that of Glasgow or even Belfast.

Naaa I don't support oga fashola in this UK budget...wtf..ghana a whole nation budget ....naaaa I don't think so

When you smoke Kpoli,you think like Fashola

Desdola: Forget statistics and talks. The question is how are the citizen's life influenced. can 50 percent of families in lagos boast of 3 square meal?

[color=#990000]
HOW WOULD IT NOT BE SO WHEN YOU PEOPLE ARE LEAVING YOUR 'DEVELOPED' STATES IN DROVES FROM THE WEST, EAST AND NORTH ON MINUTE'S BASIS TO MILK-DRY 'NOT-DEVELOPED' LAGOS STATE!

Obiora4life:

Again, that I said he goofed, how does that translate into tribal words?

I don't know why all this self ignorance and pretense. You said Just like he has always goofed. The keyword is Always.



Please let it go, just watch who you hide behind to spew your hate and tribalism or risk getting called out again.

shymexx:

The Fitch ratings for the UK is actually based on budget deficit and debts.. And that's because the UK is basically a welfare country.. If it were to cut the welfare spending, UK should be back up there...

Lagos on the other just looks good on paper because of the projects they're building everywhere and some government policies... However, Lagos and UK should never be in the same sentence when it comes to economy ratings...

Fashola should compare countries with similar GDP as Lagos and stop playing on Lagosians' intelligence!! He goofed on this one, to be honest...

I honestly have to agree with your analysis, however, he took the comparison too far. #IntelligentContribution

Goodysydney: A Ghana Immigrationwill beg u to give him Naira or even CFA rather than Cedi. Cuz Ghana money no get value.

$1=1.8 cedis n $1=160 naira.so which currency has more value?u were talking from ur anu-s,as usual,huh?crap

Afam4eva: Lagos economy is bigger than those of England, Scotland, Waled and N Ireland combined? Wetin we no go hear for this country. if these politicians must lie they should not be over-ambitious liars. I doubt is Lagos economy is even bigger than that of Glasgow or even Belfast.
