If there's one administrator I admire most in my entire life as a patriotic citizen of this sick and problem-bedevilled political entity called Nigeria, His name is BABATUNDE RAJI FASHOLA.

Damn! If the dude decides to contest the 2019 elections, I don't give a rat's a..s..s if the constitution is altered to favour him if he declares interest to contest for a third term, because Nigeria's problem cannot be cured even by 30 percent in only 8 years.

I don't know why folks always blame the people.

Aren't the people a product of a failed system, with failures by successive governments?

Perhaps, if the government ever get it right, the people will change.

ratiken:
With the recent holier than thou attitude being put forward by Gov Fashola, It has become pertinent that we remind ourselves what manner of man he has been in the past 7.5 years.

1. It is on record that Tinubu is one of the most corrupt individual this country ever produced who went on an accumulation spree of every viable state asset. However, I wonder how a 'non corrupt' Fashola can seamlessly work with an extremely corrupt Tinubu for 8yrs without friction while they both accumulate all state assets to their personal names. Two cannot work together except they agree. It seems Tinubu accumulated more state resources under Fashola's tenure than his own tenure. One can categorically conclude that Fashola is either more corrupt than Tinubu or just a plain dummy/ foot soilder

2. There is still no justification to installing toll plazas on existing roads. The Lekki- Epe expressway that serves the fastest developing area of lagos state should have received fair and untolled attention but out of the dirtiness of heart of the corrupt duo of Fashola/ Tinubu.... it was tolled to their own company. When the masses trooped out to protest against it, Fashola's touts were unleashed on them even to the extent of death of a protester. If every state governor tolls roads which is a basic necessity like Fashola did..... ours would have been a mortgaged country

3. Till date, Fashola have refused to open up the state books to the public consistent with the Freedom of information bill adopted at the federal level. He has consistently and categorically refused to be accountable. For the records, LASG with monthly IGR and allocation of 29B and 19B respectively have managed approximately 4.5trillion in 7.5yrs. Unaccountability is the hallmark of irresponsible leadership.

4. How on earth can a sane governor deport non-indigenes within same country at the wee hours of the morning and dump them under a bridge. Every Nigerian indigene has the right to live in an part of the geographical location called Nigeria without a visa. It is also on record that this inhumane act have been carried out by just on governor in our history. .. which is Fashola. This act currently ranks as the highest breach of human rights in Nigeria.

 5. Fashola adamantly approved a 1000% increase in the school fees rates for LASU students without any corresponding increase in wage rates. It took wide spread protest and unending strikes that forced the govt to its knee. This is the record increase of school fees in Nigeria and ranks the height of insensitivity

6. Lagos roads are repaired at 2billion/ km by the crony companies of Fashola/ Tinubu. Better roads are built allover the country at lesser rates. Height of lootocracy

The ease at which he criticizes the central govt without acknowledging any single achievement by same govt makes him a mere opposition figure who stands for nothing but mere propaganda. 

Now I ask..... What are the highlights of Fashola's govt?Lagos was a federal capital and Tinubu's govt was the height of hopelessness and such any any road repaired receives lots of hype. What key achievement would Fashola be remembered for?
wha key achievement would GEJ be remembered for?

Wait a minute , so Fasola is also responsible for cleaning your surroundings

Pal , get together people in that community , arm them with brooms , dusters and buckets then march them to clean up the mess in their surroundings.

The government can't do everything for you.

Hey Bud, you can be a Fash groupie all you want but let's be truthful for once.

Is the state of Orile as depicted in the photo a simple sanitation issue?

Don't stand reason on it's head except you haveb't been to these locations. Orile is simply one of the other neglected areas which Fash and his handlers through the connivance of some compromised media have managed to deflect serious attention from while building bridges at Ozumba and Admiralty with the billions that could have found much useful impact on the lives of these 'great unwashed'.

Please, continue with your adoration of Fash but honesty is still the best policy, okay?
