Lagos is the 13th Largest economy in Africa and getting accolades from knowledgeable investment analysts from the Financial Times. All those achievements explained in the article was not achieved by idioticc boasting but by hard work, excellent administrative planning and visionary thinking.

ba7man: @Plaindealer. You killing em with the pics.....keep it up.

They've started babbling out of context, they'll soon start foaming at the mouth at this rate.

From what you posted above, I could deduce 3 things .

1. LASG water isn't affordable hence you feel it's cheaper to drill and maintain your private borehole .
2. LASG water isn't clean hence you cannot trust it for anything other than for washing cars
3. LASG water isn't steady hence you prefer to use a private borehole where you can conveniently guarantee steady water using a float switch to pump water for storage .

20th Annivesary Of The Tragic Death Of Samuel Okwaraji Held At National Stadium, Surulere

Aug 12, 2009 - In a year when we have elected to spend more time and resources on matters which concern young people and women, it is a welcome coincidence that the 20th Anniversary of Sam Okwaraji’s transition happens to be Y2009.

From that tragic day on the 12 August in 1989, we gather to celebrate a young man who led his peers by example. He was the model patriot for this country. He was immensely educated and truly talented as a sportsman.

Literally, Sam was ready to die for this country and I believe he demonstrated that before he died and by the circumstances leading to his death.

We gather here to celebrate him as a true Nigeria hero, as we have celebrated Alhaji Jakande, M. K. O. Abiola, Justice Muri-Okunola and many of our living and departed patriots.

In doing this, we hope that we are able to impact the values of public and national service to the present generation of Nigerian youths.

On behalf of the Government and people of Lagos State, we affirm that the labours of our heroes past will not be in vain.

Babatunde Raji Fashola, SAN
Lagos State Governor

One common thing about all the pictures is Fashola cutting a red tape!! I have thrown a challenge to them to tell me how many of them really enjoy from all these projects Fashola has been cutting red tape!!

I have challenged them to name schools they are sure Fashola solely built with state funds, rather someone is telling me "Fashola built 638 schools" . I challenge him to name only 5 with their locations and we will burst their bubble with facts!!

I have challenged them to name the housing estate built by Fashola with LASG funds and am yet to see any response,!!

I challenged them to tell me how many agro -mart are in Lagos and which of them go there to buy food?? I further challenged them to tell me where Eko rice is sold in the market and who in this Forum has eaten it!! Even Fashola doesn't eat it! Its only good for photographs!!

If Fashola has done all this they claim he has done, why are Lagosians still finding life difficult In as much as they may want to deny that fact, but deep within them , their conscience is flogging them with guilt !!!

emiye:

I understand you are embittered, pele. ndo .

"You want to burst bubble with fact" ? Does fact now mean emotional rantings?

unmask: I read through some of the posts..... And I have reached my conclusion.... Akpabio has done well but the major difference between akpabio's works and fashola's is the vision......

Akpabio's works are what you get when you have money to spend and won't need to think much on other factors.....


Fashola's works are based on when you need to create a vision of what should be while having several factors working against you

I don't know about akpabio's governance cause I don't stay in his state.... But what has happened in lagos is highly remarkable...... Just solving the transport conundrum to a reasonable extent is an achievement that most Governors won't be able to boast of even if they had to think about it for 8 years

Again he brings up another story irrelevant to the topic @ hand!! Who asked about investments?? We asked of projects Solely executed by these two Governors and your telling us of investments from foreign investors and others!

Ok, let's even analyse this your story of investment well, if truly Lagos is bubbling with investments, the LASG should be making money, and if the Govt is making money, they should be able to embark on numerous projects that would affect the common citizenry of Lagos. In summary, the citizens should be able to enjoy some kind of benefit for the flood of investments into Lagos!!
But is that the case? Taxes in Lagos state are higher than anyhwere in the whole of west africa! Roads are bad! Public schools are dilapidated! Housing is expensive! Cost of living is expensive!! Public water supply is either non existent or non dependable, Sanitation and waste management isn't working in most parts of Lagos,!! So what exactly is the benefit of the flood of investments into Lagos?? But some people somewhere are enjoying them and strategically positioning themselves and their families into these investments and the take photographs and send to you and you get excited!!

fashola has shown us that with the right people in place,things can improve. tinubu has also shown us that you can be a godfather without interfering in everything.isnt it suprising that despite tinubu's long tentacles,none of his proteges break rank?i am yet to witness a time when ACN became factionalised in any southwest state.there are usually disagreements but they rarely rise to that level.

this only shows that there can be political differences,but they should be seperated from governnace.fashola has shown that been in power doesnt mean been powerful.many a time the governor's convoy passes and people dont even realise its the governor.the wellbeing and freedom of movement of people isnt compromised because the chief executive is passing by.

fashola has showed us that there is no office of the first lady.he has showed us that his wife has no role in governance and her appearances at functions are at best,supportive or social.

fashola isnt perfect and sometimes overzealous officials and advisers make mistakes as happened in the deportation saga(an action i condemned and still do) but overall he has shown us that with the right people in place,we can move forward.
