The final solution to prevent ocean surges at the bar beach was conceptualised and was completed. wasn't it?

When I was in Naija in March 2007 bar beach over flow abi e get another bar beach we de talk about here. Nothing has been conceptualise neither has anything been completed, the only thing that has been completed is a healthy bank balance for Tinunbu.

To be fair to Tinunbu BRT Buses were his idea, and he had already bought the buses from Brazil, was about to embark on the bus route thing when he handed over to Fashola. Fashola now tackled it as if his life depended and brought it to fruition. it took Tinunbu 7 1/2 years to come up with a brilliant Idea. I will have to agree with u that is a moumental failure in anybody's book. Fashola should not let the fire in him die or else those ideas of his will die.

KunleOshob:

Even though the BRT scheme is a good idea it was very poorly and stupidly implemented. apart from the fact that the buses he claims are new are actually refurbished tokunbo ( half of them have broken down a year into BRT operations)

desgiezd:

To say those buses are tokunbo is being economical with the truth.

KunleOshob:

Is it now not very obvious that tinubu was a colossal failure in Lagos? what he could not achieve in 8 years his boy as achieved in less than two years. And all the excuse the idiot keeps giving that it was OBJ that with held funds is just a bunch of lies that only the most ignorant morons would believe. the funds witheld were local goverment funds and NOT state goverment funds as tinubu and his stupid supporters would like us to believe.

debosky:

Like Knowall said (making sense for once ) Let's not turn this into a pro or anti Tinubu issue. For avoidance of doubt, he completed major roads in Lagos, Ikotun-Igando, Lawanson-Itire, Adeola Odeku, Akin Adesola amongst others. He led and completed the redevelopment of roads in Lagos CBD, facilitated the establishment of AES Power amongst others. That said, he did have his shortcomings as well.

I don't really know what a 'colossal failure' implies, but I don't think it is an apt description of Tinubu's administration.

The truth is, whatever Fashola has achieved in his short time is due in part to a large portion of the planning stages taking place before he came in. The Eko Atlantic Project started as a signed agreement back in 2006, which we are now beginning to see in the construction phase. As the video shows, Tinubu is integral to the project.

Eko Atlantic City will not happen. Fashola wants to do all these things in 4 or maybe 8 years


1. Eko Atalntic City
2. Lekki Free trade zone incorpoating an airport in Lekki
3. 10 LANE Motorway to Badary so that development would move from the Lekki corridor to the Badagry corridor.
4. 4th Mainland Bridge
5. 2 Light rail blue and red line
6. New Lekki City

The man should just do one and leave the rest, he has not got the time to do all these projects and I doubt if he has the money, which means all these projects might be a pipe dream.

When there is clash in the federal law on benin area, the benin law takes over.since they are a full countries. but joint law would still be there and benin can over ride any law it want. Benin shall keep its military. The military shall be separate. benin shall keep its capital and embassy.

I dont know why many Nigerians have narrow minds.
Is it not in Dubai an african city that the tallest building on earth is been built? Because of such giant developments, foremost world firms are relocating from america to dubai. A good example is Halliburton.

is that what your geography teacher taught you or did you pick that out of thin air?

Just understand with the guy. You know, NL is a place were you can be provoked to the extent that even your subconscious mind will overtake your conscious mind. Na mind virus cause the error.

father ab:

@ Mustafar, Everyone else
Sorry for that mistake
However dubai doesnt have to be in Africa for Nigeria to achieve such giant strides.
Besides, this Eko Atlantic is a 'small' project compared with what is going on in other small Nations in our economic cadre.

@KunleOshob
All your comments are anti progressive. I thought u are more intelligent than this.
So you could not see anything good done by Tinubu Govt.
Pls How many o the former governors have a solid achiever like Fashola as their successor?
Kunle, you are a pessimist who may never recognise a good thing even if it's at the tip of his finger,
learn to appreciate an achiever.

First and foremost, UNILAG is a federal university.!!!!!!!!!!!
LASU (which is owned by lagos state has seen a facelift in recent yrs). Their teaching hospital has been heavily equipped.
Enough with all these unnecessary rants. If you're not sure of whats going on in Lagos, don't make any unnecessary statements.
Who told you that education and the other things are not being addressed.
Eko atlantic city is just the icing on the cake. Last time i checked, it's a freaking Private initiative so what the heck.
Roads are being built everyday in Lagos, solar streetlights are being fixed, u hardly see dirts littering the streets anymore.
Even cases of armed robbery have declined drastically. There was a time when you couldn't drive good cars in lagos due to robbers.
There is construction going on everywhere in lagos. This has led to a lot of people being employed. LAWMA employs people as well.
I think we really need to shut the f up and realize that steps are being taken to improve lagos. It's a gradual process.

Granted Tinubu as one achievement, and that is fashola that apart he was a collosal disaster and noise maker. if you guys have the faintest idea of how much the bastard looted Lagos state you would not be talking like this. Just think how come Fashola is able to achieve so much in such a little time with the same resources( discounting inflation) tinubu had. The moroon just did a few roads and spent billions on advertizing his under achievement, yet some of you are gullible enough to give him credit. Compared to the resources he had at his disposal his achievements pale into insignificance

This should not be turned to a case of pro Tinubu.
Who started the projects has no juice in this case. What the people want is that the projects are initiated and completed.
I believe there are enough signs to show that these projects will be completed.

To the poster that doubts the completion of the projects :

The 10 lane lekki-expwy will definitely be completed. Its a private project. They've already started building the toll booth right before lekki phase 1 roundabout. (i'm in the country now so i should know). They've cleared roads all the way from mobil house to VGC. This is a done deal.

The light rail/badagry expwy will be completed. They've already marked houses for demolition along this route. The only thing that can stop these projects is the current financial crunch. Nothing else.

Work is already in progress at the lekki free trade zone. You need to be there before misyaning. They're building another sea port there as well.
Why do you think they are keen on the Lekki - expwy project. Of what use will the lekki free zone be if people can't get there in 4hrs of lagos traffic.

Work will also soon commence on the Lekki International Airport- a completely private funded consortium.

This is ridiculous. If Fashola indeed takes your advice, people will accuse him of stream lining government money into a particular project he desires. They will say he's closed minded and not open to ideas. One can never win, can one?

Besides this, every lay man knows there are about 6 stages of project planning and management. Even if Fashola brings these projects to life, there's still the tedious and sometimes overlooked task of maintenance. Just thought to mention.
