I've registered in order to be able to voice my opinion so people'll not refer to me just as an armchair analyst, we'll see how this PR works out to be.

uumm, how do you know it is even real? For all we know, this could just be a ploy to get more people registered on the site

That's very very true you know, lol, probably someone involved in an affiliate marketing and using us to get some cheap traffic, nice one.

you can never be sure till you try!
I heard it will be live on LTV and other local TV stations as well soooo that way we can kno if na real or fake, anyway, am goin to register incase na thru. LETS GO THERE!!!

1) How long will the chat session last?

2) What exactly is the reason for his wanting to Chat with folks?

3) What part is the media expected to play in this?

The chat start @1;30pm till 3pm.

Its for the Executive governor to give is stewardship account in the last 600 days in office.

The governor want to connect to every one and get direct feedback from the real people, its also a unique medium of connecting with the governed.

If they say it is happening in America, these same imbeciles will never doubt it, but because it is Nigeria, they claim it is otherwise. A country that you wish so bacd for, can only return one thing back to you, the same bad wishes. plain and simple.

No Seriously, when does it start and when does it end? You have it listed as 12pm above. Stewardship account? How many minutes dedicated to getting feedback from the public? I would not want to log on only to have rhetoric and kissing up done for 2 and half hours and then only 1 second left to express my concerns.

Yes, the so called "imbeciles" would never doubt it if was in america because in most case there its so true while in naija; every single person lies like no tomorrow.

Guys, kindly register on this website. It seems the governor is going to be answering our questions but now they've said it's gonna be 3pm (Nigerian time).

Oh Please Stop @B.O.S.S.

now na 3pm dem dey talk ! Which one>>

I'm only hoping and thinking the whole thing would not just tun to a big waste of my precious time. I'm just hoping it's a mere demonstration of Nigeria's indiscipline when it comes to keeping time.

I hate the fact that we cannot send comments to the field directly though. It's always going to the moderators and people don't even get to see it. It's ridiculous. They're trying to cherry-pick our questions for the governor and it'll probably turn out the one he sees are those of people reighning heaps of praises on him because our questions would be filtered and not make it to the gov.

That's the first thing I noticed. I just sent questions now, hoping that be stopped but I guess HIS EXCELLENCY needs to be spared INAPPROPRIATE messages and content. lol

So the online event is meant to coincide or run after or parallel to the televised press event too? That's a bit silly, i mean how much time can be dedicated to the online chat session? Better to have one event with good quaetions that warrant a comprehensive and deep response that touches on a lot of areas than bite sized one liner response warranting questions. Should have perhaps made them two seperate events. Anyway, guys who are going for it, have fun and let me know how it goes .
@Kobo exactly how inapropriate was too inappropriate with regards to your message? LOL

Apparently, everything is INAPPROPRIATE. No one's comments is posted on the screen. Only the Admin gets to post comments. He just announced that the governor will be online in less than an hour.



admin: WE ARE AWARE THAT PEOPLE MAY ATTEMPT TO POST INAPPROPIRATE MESSAGES OR CONTENT TO HIS EXCELLENCY

@post
its not by force to post comments or questions to the lagos state governor and no one is forcing any individual to comment as lagosians in lagos state NIGERIA are more than grateful and enough to contribute and ask the governor objective questions devoid of pre-judgement,its an initiative he selflessly decided to support by giving his time and shouldnt be rewarded by naysayers who have no mission but to embarass his person

admin: we are awaiting the arrival of His Excellency

5 minutes to 3pm

TextCast: the governor is greeting dignatories present and taking his seat

Peeps, it's still not late to join in,

lol @B.O.S.S Kiss ass session begins. . . Lets wait to see if our questions get posted . lol

Trust me, so much ceremony all in the name of the public servant trying to show off what he's done,

My first comment since the arrival of the gov: Thanks for showing up early.

You mean I waited 4 hours for this? Lol

Lol, well, I only waited 2hrs 30mins, we'll see. I'm not predicting doom though.


I'm raising my hopes.

TextCast: hounourable memebrs of the Lagos State House of Assembly, my able colleagues members of the lagos state executive council. members of the permanent secretaries, cahiirmans of local governments who are here present, our royal fathers, present here in large numbers, the Oba of Lagos, his royal majesty, our party leaders, also here in their large numbers, and of course leaders of the party

If you don't want to post questions don't post questions and if you want to then do so and see if it gets answered. If it doesn't then you can complain. @B.O.S.S. and Kobo, the irony is that you guys are actually the people that seem to be making the biggest deal out of this "event". Must be fascinated with the guy. LOL.

TextCast: THE CHAT IS MODERATED SO YOUR COMMENTS WON'T IMMEIDEIATELY BE SEEN, AS TEH GOVERNOR  HAS A COMPUTER IN FRONT OF HIM TO SHOW YOUR QUESTIONS
@ SkyBlue, I'm quite fascinated o. Else they'll say I'm not doing my utmost for Nigeria.

You know, ti aa ba nowo, aa nora (If we cannot spend money, we'll spend ourselves).

You need to be in here to know what we mean. I have been posting questions all morning and still nothing. You can not even see your own posts come up on the screen. It is tightly moderated and there is no way of verifying if this is real. It is not a matter of wanting to post questions or not. Fact is, this seems to be highly moderated and so your posts are likely not to show up if you ask questions that are too much for him or something.

Oh my gosh!! Nigeria1 is in here. Asking for the governor's phone number . lol
