A welcome Development

skyone:

Could this be a new begining for our political leaders in Nigeria; well 'i guess this's probably where the spirit and idea of restructuring LAGOS is coming from

Pleaase It was a political or should i say PR move.The man is a muslim.

I actually heard he attends celestial church. . . . .  .

Well you know what they say niaja needs prayers and since lagos is the center of excellence eh won't want to be left out, infact don't be shock if we see him @ the shrine lagos need prayers.

Nigeria is undergoing a revolutionary trend.
We should be glad to welcome this,

@ Topic
See nothing wrong with it! It's not like there is a place in the books which says the ground will open or the walls for come crumbling down if a Muslim steps into a Church or a Christian into a Mosque. The more the merrier. . . that's what I say!!

Let the division, us vs. them shtick go people. . .  and have a Merry Christmas!! 

Wether he attends a church or a mosque is not important, as long as Lagosians are the better for it.

The next thing we will hear is this pentecostal people giving testimony that Raji Fashola is successful in Lagos becos he attended their Holy Ghost carnival _{Did he answer the alter call? just checking}    

Not in any way surprised. We are talking about politicians here. Ready to do anything to gain acceptance among different clusters of society. Obasanjo, though openly professed Christianity, never used to miss Ramadan fasting since 1999, while he lasted as President. I see all these things as rubbish. Be a Muslim if you want to, and a christian if you want to. I lost an election in my department in the University because I was a Muslim. The Christians were the majority, but I can't stand politics of religion, having to temporarily turn to Christian to gain acceptance among them. This is hypocrisy, I believe.

God is one

Same way the poverty OBJ bestowed upon us came from the Holy Ghost events

@Lagosboy

You hit the head on the nail. People want to reap where they did not sow.

This is a very untrue statement OBJ actually did a lot to better our economy and he recorded numerous successes as such our income per capita moved from less than $300 when OBJ came in 1999 to over $1200 by the time he left in 2007. Our stock market also grew by 6000% in this same period that is not to talk of the world acclaimed Mega banks we have now. Of cousre our bountiful foreign resevres is also quite glaring not to talk of the fact that he left the country almost debt free considering the fact that we were owing over $30 billion when he came in. The man OBJ is certainly the best president this country as ever had.

Translate all this to the what the common man on the street would understand.

Power: The MW OBJ left was lesser than what he met. Nigerians even still had more power during the Evil IBB's time
Food
Transportation: No single federal highway can attest to the 300 billion naira sunk in there.
Healthcare: The Federal hospitals are still in a sorry state
Shelter: Tell us how much cement costs now and compare this to the Govts workers salary.

This are the basic things the average Nigerian has a right for.

The GDP of $1200 u mentioned makes us about the 36th country in africa out of 50. Is that an achievement? Despite all the billions made from $80-$100 per barell OBJ made.

You mentioned foreign reserve. Of what use is a foreign reserve when the infrastructure are begging for help. No infrastructure no foreign investment.

This is not the political section though i would have gone on and on!!

Lastly OBJ imposed this baba go slow that has no clue of what development is on us. This is the worst of OBJ's crime

“As the embodied soul continuously passes, in this body, from boyhood to youth to old age, the soul similarly passes into another body at death. A sober person is not bewildered by such a change.” (Bhagavad-gita chapter 2, text 13)

Every one is searching to know whom he or she really is.


In the modern age, people are so uneducated that they cannot understand that the body is changing at every moment and that the ultimate change is called death. In this life one may be a king, and in the next life one may be a dog, according to karma. The spirit soul is in a deep slumber caused by the force of material nature. He is put into one type of condition and again changed into another type. Without self realization and knowledge, conditional life continues, and one falsely claims himself a king, a cat, or a dog. These are simply transformations brought about by the supreme arrangement

God is one

Yes for those who serve Him in spirit through our savior Jesus Christ.

Let the division, us vs. them shtick go people. . .  and have a Merry Christmas!! 

Na wa oo. . .

Me thinks you are taking this seasonal thing too literally

whatever next will you suggest

Obj and Atiku should exchange presents

Whats the big deal? remember he is a governor for Lagos state not a governor for Muslim people in Lagos! so if invited he has every right to be there!

True Talk.  And let me add what Hay-seus  (Jesus pronounced in Spanish ) say "All are welcome to the house of God. . . . . .  so let not your heart be troubled"

@poster:

Politicials dont have religion.And the moore you know this the better it is for all.Cos as man ruling Govenring both Christian & Muslims (due respect to other religions), you must at any time participate.

Cos politics on its own is a religion.

Well i stand to be correctedoooo

Is it because he went to church that is why things will change? How many christain governors we have? Have they made their state better? People are myopic and blinded by religious loyalty

sherry lo:

@ sherry

You yan well my guy.

If perhaps he was unable to make it there, so ignoramus will consider him being too pompous. I believe its never a big deal, after all, he might just be there as an invited dignitary, not as a worshipper. But if decides to worship too, who cares? Hallelujah to Baba, Lagos and Politics could only get better.
Remember, either good or bad, all our political office holders, needs prayers.

Chronic hypocrisy.

Chances are that Gbenga Daniels, Alao Akala, Oyinlola and many governors too went for the Holy Ghost Congress.

Thats is why their states are developing at the speed of light.

OBJ probably got his looting techniques and inspiration from the Holy Ghost Congresses too.

ha ha, remember say this man stands for demo-crazy of the first order

OBJ was a popula figure at the camp in his days. Wined and dined with the GO so he might have gotten his looting ideas from such sessions

And so? that is no big deal, he is a free man in a free country, who cares if he eats his shoe for breakfast, it don't rub no skin of my nose. As long as he keeps doing what he was voted into office to do, i have no issues with him at all.

Big Cudos so far for work in progress.

this is why there is so much religious intolerance. what is the big deal that a Fashola went for holy ghost night. the man was probably invited by the G.O and honoured it. do we prefer leaders who will refuse to honour other people's religion. i'm a christian woman but i go to mosques when ever i'm invited for weddings or special programs by my muslim friends, does that make me less christian? let's get it together people and stop making a mountain out of a mole hill. the man went to church, good for him. it just means he is not petty about religion. if he doesn't have a problem with it why should anybody else.
