Ikengawo: The ignorance of this man is so steep that it's hard to gauge.

So he believes that Nigeria can do with 1/5 the oil of Saudi Arabia and 500% of Saudi Arabia's population what Saudi Arabia has done 500% the oil of Nigeria as a population the size of Lagos?

aresa:


1. Is your population the reason why your leaders for decades with hundreds of billions of dollars and since independence failed to provide electricity and common basic necessities?

2. Is your population the reason why you have decayed, rotten and worthless infrastructure?

3. Is your population the reason why your corrupt and incompetent leaders spends %80 of the country's wealth on themselves with nothing left for capital projects?

4. Is population the reason why your president commands 10 jets and still trying to buy one more to make it eleven?

5. Is population the reason why your leaders prefer for you to have power generators and fuel burden instead of stable electricity even though they've swindled tens of billions worth of lies and promises to give your stable power?

6. Is population the reason why your leaders killed your refineries and prefer for your oil to be sent abroad to be refined and return back to you at many times the cost?


Population and lousy leadership have nothing in common, population doesn't prevent you from doing the right thing...

You are the slowpoke here..

gymer: Fashola is also a failure in Lagos state na.

- No portable water,
- bad roads all over the places,
- poor drainage system,
- armed robbers and touts on the increase, etc.

why can't he faces the business of governing Lagos instead of always looking for platform to attack the FG? Despite the huge burden of multiple taxes we are facing in Lagos, we don't feel any government presence, yet the man in the helm of affair is running his mouth everywhere. Attacking the FG is not what I voted him for.

For example, it is no coincidence that only 2 (two) States, Lagos and Rivers, governed by APC Governors are executing rail projects on their own as a mass transit solution. (Anonimi: what is the status of these two projects- nor be Amaechi dey way us with photo magic last month and Fashola wey go Canada go buy second hand train since 2011 never still complete for Lagos Meanwhile Jonathan/Sambo continue to make progress with the Nigeria Railways so tey Aregberascal take am do 419 for Osun state people claiming N1 billion to renovate just one Osogbo railway station, chai )

The party in power has lied about when there will be stable electricity for 16 years, and an APC state, Lagos led the way in showing what is possible with its power initiatives in Egbin, Akute, Lagos Island and Alausa. Ikeja and Lekki will be commissioned this year.

ratiken: Fashola remains a political non-entity and does not deserve any attention from Aso Rock.

The game plan is simple, PDP will recover lagos state from tinubu come 2015. Jimi Agbaje will expose all the atrocities of Fashola and Tinubu; Fashola will end up in kirikiri.

No amount of balderdash and propaganda will save them.

boladez:


Errr Sir, I disagree with you and know you have the right to your own opinion.....right or wrong.

Just a few points;

1. You did not know Lagos Pre1999
2. Are you sure you reside in Lagos or neighbouring states? tell me your area and I will list out the lasg projects there
Security is the work of FG not the state but despite the inability of the FGN to provide security LASg has taken bold steps with the Security trust fund. Google is your bro
3.He is simply stating the facts and which one of these do you disagree with.

gymer:

Thank you for your civil response. I I know Lagos pre 1999. I voted Fashola in 2007. Due to his performance in 2007, myself and family voted him in 2011. But since he started his second term, he has not live up to my expectations. I live in the mainland. Kosofe LGA. I am telling you that a city like Lagos should not have problem with the provision of portable water in any of its part. But in today's Lagos, that is a big task. There are no good roads in Lagos. Don't forget that Lagos is not just Island, VI, Ikoyi and Lekki. Even the so called VI and Ikoyi, they don't have good drainage system. When it rains, the whole place will turn to a lagoon. Am saying we have a lot to be done in Lagos. I do not belong to any political party though I voted for AD and ACN in the previous election. I want Fashola whom I voted for in the last election to tackle the problem of infrastructural deficit in Lagos instead of dinning with ex PDP thieves.

boladez:

I agree with you that in terms of roads in Kosofe, yes LASG should do more but within Kosofe let me draw your attention to the following roads that the Fashola administration has fixed and repaired....I confirm I use these roads.

.Remember how that Agiliti (Opposite Mile 12 market) used to be . A huge refuse dump inhabited by criminals ...see what it is today

.remember how it took almost an hour to pass through the mile 12 market those days with traders selling on the medians and road check out how it is today

.remember all the side roads around Ketu bus stop were unmotor-able and now motor-able all the way to oladogba street, eleha and even the resurfacing of CMD avenue.

remember the resurfacing of Oluwakemi street and most of the adjoining streets. That is the major road that turns off at alapere

the ketu busstop has been transformed

Ogudu road and Ogudu ori oke road are there for all to see

Ketu toll gate road and many adjoining streets


On the issue of security , this is the work of the FGn and unfortunately Lagos state can only do so much. Can you believe that Ketu station has just 1 (yes ONE) patrol vehicle? and guess what , that is the vehicle given to them by LASG.

Water flows on the Ojota side of Ketu all the way to Magodo... the problem with the other side is the dense population and the extreme difficulties on running the water lines without major damage to property....again, these pipes are being hit by our people just for them to fetch water. My personal opinion is that portable water is one of our nice to haves in lagos. Almost every house has a borehole. Water is important but when we solve the issues of roads, power , security them we can tackle the wahala of pipebone water.

With the foregoing , fashola may be called upon to do more but cannot be said to be a failure.

Which ever way you look at it APC is well ahead of PDP in terms of real development I only pray things get better but its important for us all to register and vote for the right candidates in 2015.

anonimi:

You have really tried in your attempt at justifying Fashola's FAILURE.
However it remains an attempt and a very poor attempt for that matter.

Thanks for your specific comments;[i][/i][b][/b]

On the issue of security, you are looking simply at the SYMPTOM, rather than looking at the CAUSE, which is rampant UNEMPLOYMENT and even for those employed their INSUFFICIENT wages based on the miserable N18,000 minimum salary. Fashola and his LGAs are mostly responsible for the cause of insecurity in the state. If & when he employs PROFESSIONAL teachers, doctors, nurses, school/clinic/hospital cleaners, administrators and pays them a COMPARABLE wage with all those political jobbers in the SAME employment of the LASG, including himself, Speaker Kuforiji, other legisLOOTERS etc, you will see insecurity reduce as it is in all those oyinbo places where Fashola's FAILURE along with Thief'nubu in the past 15 years have chased many able-bodied & intelligent Lagosians to hide

Sir, I boldly say to you that if minimum wage goes up to 100k there will still be insecurity. Unfortunately you have not identified the REAL CAUSE of insecurity which is a total breakdown in our social system (lost values) . I say so because in the past Govt wages were low and yet the young ones would either learn a trade or go to school. How many young ones today know that hard work is the key to success? Are you then insinuating that government workers who are paid poorly are the ones stealing and robbing? They make be bribe takers but not generally thieves.

The real cause of robberies in Lagos is NOT poverty let no man deceive himself - there are many people who hustle every day in this town despite the odds and have not resorted to crime. Go to Olusosun refuse dump and see young boys trying to get a life, go to Lagos island and see young women trying to hustle and get a life, go to mushin, oyingbo and alaba see young men whom this system has let down trying to eke a good means of livelihood. Many of the younger generation want to drive big cars , wear designer clothes and flirt around with women , they join gangs and end up using the short cut i.e crime.

Do you know the number of people who troop into lagos every day because of the opportunities this state offers? are you telling me LASG should employ them all? comon.... the solution to crime is to fight it and make sure people do not get away with committing crimes, second thing is to fix power and basic infrastructure to enable local businesses thrive.

Finally,Minimum wage used to be a federal affair but even as at today the states draw their own min wage from the centre. You seem to be hard on the wages and that makes me suspect you work for govt. If you work for govt you should bury your head in shame because civil servants including the police account for 90% of our problems in Nigeria!

It is very sad that [b]you will say that installing pipes for [color=#990000]TAP water provision will damage properties and roads YET you go on to say that the same roads should be done first before your smooth talking governor deals with a very BASIC and FUNDAMENTAL utility as TAP water
Why are you so confused

Well I am not confused about this and the gentleman I responded to knows the area and the challenges I have enumerated. Permit me to educate you;

1. Public Water supply is not piped with the domestic pvc pipes you see in your home they require planned major supply lines that will go into major areas for distribution.

2. The ketu area i was referring to is densely populated. Its practically impossible to put supply lines in those areas because our people have built as usual without common sense and regard for any town planning laws. Have you heard of the Lagos state urban renewal projects and the agency? do you know what they do? Pls use google

Then when you excuse him because of population density, you forget that is the basis of collecting plenty Niger Delta oil revenue national cake every month from Abuja like some god-forsaken almajiri

I hope you will understand how to administer. Obviously you have no experience in managing , you are likely a good grumpy follower. I have no response to you on this comment because you have no understanding of how to run a business not to talk of a state. Have you seen the accounts of Lagos state ...NO, do you know how the money is spent....no......Pls check something called cost and benefit ; inflow and outflow . If you understand these basic concepts you will understand population density and the cost of managing it.

While this is not about comparing APC with PDP, just to indulge you why not check out what is going on in Akwa Ibom and Enugu state.

Ttalk: With this speech, Fashola has proved to me that he knows what governance and development is all about, he is a man visionary man with passion for development. He is one of the few impeccable mentor in Nigeria that one should look up to.
Kudos, BRF you are highly inspiring
