We should never allow foreign bodies/publications running about with half truths take us for granted But what legacy has The Economist bequeathed to former Governor Babatunde Fashola? “Cars were terrified into order by a state traffic agency, LASTMA, whose bribe-hungry officers flagged down offending drivers.”See as the Economist blast Fashola........ lalasticlala Ambode's Response to The Economist 3 Likes |

No 'ruler' in nigeria has ever admitted his or her blunders even when such 'blunders' are visible to those born without eyes. If our village 'headmasters' are always good as they love to claim, then why are we still in this mess? Correct any of them, and you will see cobra-like reactions- National geographic vipers. They are experts in displaying pancake projects...they will photograph themselves buying roasted yam, but they won't snap themselves stealing billions. No problems...it is only in Nigeria you will see shameless individuals parading themselves as elder 'statemen'... Help me ask them where is the 'state'? A failed state with 'statemen'? Such 'statemen' are baboons...Nay, they are elderly demons. 19 Likes 3 Shares |

l couldn't believe Yorubas blackmailing Fashola because of Ambode, today they are hailing him, what a people. Today every one of you is blaming his/her conscience for voting "shine shine bobo", he will rule for 8 years and row Lagos state 16 years backward. He has to make money for himself and Tinubu, leaving Lagos in a sorry state. AM NOT A YORUBA MAN BUT FASHOLA IS THE BEST. 14 Likes |

I am a staunch PDP supporter but i would disappoint my PDP friends and show my allegiance and support for Ambode for now because of the following reasons: 1. Since he became the Governor of Lagos state, he has behaved in a very respectable and responsible way that is completely alien to the APC manual of how to be a Governor. He hasn't accused anyone of stealing money, told lies, abuse political opponents or engage in frivolous Propaganda to push his agenda to the detriment of the good people of Lagos State. 2. When i see horrible APC Governors such as controversial liars like El Rufai or Fashola that is all Propaganda but less action or Oshimole that is extremely garrulous and misinforms people or Okorocha the billboard loving disgrace to his Kinsmen and compare Ambode to this lot, then you know Ambode is a saint in the midst of the no good Governors IN TERMS OF CIVILTY AND RESPECT to his fellow humans. 3. When you hear him talk he is more concerned about fostering Unity among all Nigerians living in Lagos irrespective of their tribe unlike Fashola that tried to Deport Igbos out of Lagos. 4. Ambode won my respect when he helped expose Fashola as a Fraud through the release of Fashola's expenditures in the last 4 years. He kept quiet through out the whole issue and did not come to the aid of Fashola. He allowed Nigerians assess Fashola personally and see all the financial irregularities of Fashola ranging from the most expensive website ever down to drilling 2 boreholes for N139Million. Naturally as Fashola's successor he was suppose to cover Fashola's financial atrocities and attack his political opponents daily but he has ignored doing all those irritating things APC Governors are synonymous for and chose to face his work quietly. 5. He cancelled all the fraudulent C of Os Fashola gave his croonies illegally in choice areas in Lagos such as Lekki Scheme 1 and returned the C of Os back to its rightful owners. He did not hide this criminal act from the Public and made the whole world know how dubious and hypocritical Fashola was. 6. He is the only APC governor that has cut ties from his predecessor and wants to chart his own course. He looks friendly and amiable and so far so good he is fulfilling his promises. 7. When Lagos had the traffic challenges in the last 2 months he promised to fix majority of the potholes and ease traffic. For 2 months my journey from the Lagos Mainland to the Island took 4 to 5 hours. This week i have spent less than 1hour because he has fixed the potholes and eased traffic in congested places. 8. Most importantly he is a career civil servant so he knows most of the issues plaguing Lagos and the Alausa criminals that want to take Lagos backwards 9. He doesn't engage in senseless propaganda like Fashola that would use N10Million to Plant Flowers and use N100Million to make noise about the flowers. He is very calm and open to criticisms without attacking his opponents in a derogatory way. 10. Finally i have noticed most of his critics are APC/Fashola Sympathizers. They dislike him because he exposed their Poster boy Fashola as a Fraud and to them that's an Unforgivable Sin and has stopped the supply of free PR Money to online APC cashtivists to Abuse political opponents I Hope he fulfills most of his promise and deviates from using Fashola's Propaganda template 15 Likes |

APC are bunch of hypocrites; so all of a sudden the world acclaimed Economist magazine that they taunted GEJ with is suddenly trash? Ambode should have used the time spent in writing this long epistle into something useful like finding solutions to the ever increasing crime rate and traffic in Lagos state. And to all APC zombies that will soon invade this thread to defend the indefensible, know that you are giving this government a reason to fail without even being remorseful. 7 Likes 2 Shares |

Ambode's administration is becoming more combative every passing day. No, this isn't how to pull publicity stunt. His media handlers should remember that the Economist is a very popular and influential magazine. And they can do him in, I mean his administration, in the eyes of the International Community, and foreign investors if you may add. One fact they should also consider is that whatever the magazine published could not have been out of political vendetta or sponsored by their political enemy as they would want to claim if this were to be published by a Nigerian newspaper. The Economist, on their part, were not fair on the Governor. This story does not represent the present realities on ground. Things have changed for the better in the past few days. Perhaps that was a teething problem of newbies that the Governor went through. Things have improved. 4 Likes 1 Share |
