Any sensible person elected as Lagos State governor will perform, and you know why?

1. Lagos is the economic hub of Nigeria and Africa, and as a result, it has the highest IGR (Internally Generated Revenue), which makes huge amount of fund readily available for the governor and government of Lagos State to embark on developmental projects

2. Majority of people living in Lagos are economically productive and pay direct/indirect tax to Lagos State government unlike South-south states that generate majority of their fund from Federal Government allocation, but with huge wastage, infrastural/human destruction, increased security cost, etc resulting from militancy that's peculiar with any economy that's dependent on natural mineral resource.

3. Less oppostion. All thanks to Bola Tinubu who made frantic efforts in the past decades to kill every emerging opposition party in Lagos State. This makes it less stressful for any Lagos State governor to initiate and execute developmental projects without much delay from the state assembly.

4. Unique tribe and culture. Leading Lagos State is easy because Lagos is a homogenous tribe; Yoruba, unlike other states in the north and south-south were you will have more than 6 different tribes in one state speaking over 10 different dialects, making it difficult for there to be unification because each tribe will be fighting for their tribe's interest to the detriment of other tribes in the state.

Take Delta State for in stance.

This is the same challenges Nigeria is facing today, and Fashola has now realised that being successful as a Lagos State governor is not the same with being a minister of the federal republic of Nigeria.

So in conclusion, any sensible adult can perform as a governor of Lagos State...to test that person's ability to excel, give him or her a national leadership role and watch the outcome.

Football fans have also argued in this same direction in regards to Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi who has only played in one club; Barcelona, compared to C. Ronaldo who has played and excelled in different clubs in different European countries.

God Bless you... The best response so far for anyone who really studied the video and has observed the situation on ground
This proposed idea wont still work or improve the situation in anyway. A quick study of that video on the 5th Roundabout would show you anyone from the Lekki - epe expressway willing to take a left turn toward the road / street beside the new Stoprite mall can practically make no turn at all

moufan:
crap,crap,crap, just absolute crap rubbish that made no iota of sense

Oildichotomy:
People should just soft pedal on heaping praises on Lagos governors and have some deep retrospection on what they are supposedly touted as doing. Like this is just a roundabout for petes sake

It is pretty easy to get any Lagos governor to seem like he/she is working because of the way Lagos is strategically positioned within the media, intellectual, creative and economic sphere.

During Fashola time, it was as if BRF was the best thing in Lagos since ewa agoyin and bread but immediately the chips are down the reality of the hype and incompetence came bare.

Abegii!

Oildichotomy:
Brother Can you imagine the mindset some Nigerians have?

I give up on this country

ammyluv2002:
Governor Ambode is working! The only man who has truly brought "Change" in this time of "change"

ogunsj:
my brother if you want to give up on Nigeria please do. for those who live in alagbado end of Lagos will ever appreciate the abule eba over head bridge that is on going. empty barrel always make the loudest noise.

moufan:
pls stop writing absolute gabbage,it's vert clear you know absolutely nothing about the design.

It's also a government that thinks .This kind of junction is presently at Civic center, VI and the oniru junction just before the pedestrian bridge at the Admiralty tollgate and it's working fine so I kept wondering why about two plots of land is being used for a useless roundabout. These roundabouts should be phased out all over Lagos even the Falomo round about.They are constituting traffic nuisance in my megacity of Lagos

ednut1:
for the past three weeks d traffic from lekki to jakande has been hell, journey of 7 mins without traffic now con be 2 hours plus. contractors speed up work we don tire. Ambode is really working Fashola is all about media hype

comrChris:
this people keep spending money on some few selected developed place in lagos while many places are death trap, Ambode is working is only here on nairaland, go round lagos n see how people are condemning this man, so many places in lagos are terrible

awelekiti:
