@ emeka, i am really disappointed at your comments, i have been watching your comments for quite a while, you are a tribalist and i dont think the likes of you will ever grow.
Can you tell us, what kind of revenue Lagos is receiving that is more than other states in the south  eastern region? or if it is by population wise. The federal government of Nigeria declared Kano state to be ahead of Lagos state. i think by your assumption, kano state should be dictating the pace if they have what it takes to govern.
If you dont appreciate good things, you can never be good or may be you dont know the difference because of your poor background.

Why must someone be a tribalist because he disagrees with you guys?. I do not worship people, get it. Fashola is doing well but not as well as he is being promoted here. First and foremost, he generates more internal revenues than others and if you pretend not to understnd that more businesses means more internal revenues for a place, I won't help you there. Secondly, does it not disturb you that Bola Tinubu who finished Lagos after Marwa is his God father?. You think Bola has no control over him and the contracts he is awarding?. You are suffering from half a loaf syndrome. Because Nigeria has gone through ages of decay and dilapidation, anybody who tries a little bit will receive accolades. I do not celebrate mediocrity my friend and am not a crowd follower. I believe that if you look closely, you will see some skeletons. Donald Duke was praised the same way, Orji kalu was praised the same way in Abia until after they left office before their apologists realized what they stole.

I am tired of Nigerians for real, thats why I stopped going to the international section because if you say anything against Obama, you are a traitor or racist. You call me a tribalist whenn you can't even prove my tribe. How do you know the tribe I belong to? yeye.

AloyEmeka,

No mind them. Only thoroughly mentally challenged people see tribalism in opposing views. How can any sane mind attempt to compare Fasola with Fasola?

Aloy~Emeka:

Why must someone be a tribalist because he disagrees with you guys?.

You leave people no choice but to call you one because you discounted Fashola's efforts and claimed that other governors are doing better, but you failed to support your claims with documented facts.

I do not worship people, get it. Fashola is doing well but not as well as he is being promoted here.

The topic is about the best governor, not a referendum on Fashola. Making it one means you have to justify if with facts which you grossly failed to do.

First and foremost, he generates more internal revenues than others

Obviously one of the reasons many anointed him the best governor. It's one thing to have a good tax base, devising effecting means of tax collection is another. Na good managerial and professional skills.

does it not disturb you that Bola Tinubu who finished Lagos after Marwa is his God father?. You think Bola has no control over him and the contracts he is awarding?.

What's this got to do with Fashola and hen was the last time we here anything about corruption within the LSG? Why not just provide the vaguest evidence to prove your contract award crap? You can no substitute facts with innuendos,

I believe that if you look closely, you will see some skeletons.

Abeg borrow us your special Aloy Emeke skeleton discovery binoculars,  again, you can not substitute facts with innuendos. Talk about what you know, not what you don't,

Donald Duke was praised the same way, Orji kalu was praised the same way in Abia until after they left office before their apologists realized what they stole.

Who cares? we're talking about Fashola, stay focused,

I am tired of Nigerians for real, thats why I stopped going to the international section because if you say anything against Obama, you are a traitor or racist. You call me a tribalist whenn you can't even prove my tribe. How do you know the tribe I belong to? yeye.

We are all free to offer opinions, our opinions just have to be fact based, not what we think or feel, especially when other people's good name is on the line, it's always the sensible and adult thing to do.

More facts, less bull,

Fhemmmy:

What do u mean by return it . . .?

return mission schools to the missions

.Prince Oyinlola.Ask everyone up town

hey people, Fashola is the best he has done alot. let me give u are street to manage in lagos and see how u will pull that thru effectively, i think the enugu and river's dude aint bad,

the owambe governor is a joke, lol

The best Governor shall be the best. The shall receive national recognition. This is the case of Gov. Martin Elechi of Ebonyi state.

@ nchara, you said Lagos collects VAT, i proved you wrong but i never said the money doesn't get shared. I was only alluding to factor that affect the sharing and if you read other post other than yours while also getting the msg you would see someone mentioned population which is just 1factor of other factor affecting reven. allocation and thus Nig's deformed fiscal federalism. Until i notice an ounce of common sense in your post then it is bye bye to you and your foolishness.

D prize goes to Alao-Akala, no thanks to his 13 points agent

Alao Akala (13 points agenda)

The hype is too much, Fashola still as a long way to go before we can give him 50% pass rate. He as started well but alot still needs to be done. The fact that we are debating who is the best Governor shows that democray can lead to a healthy and positive competition, to be the best state in the country.  Let Enugu and Lagos plus the other states mentioned compete for the best title, hopefully more states will join the competition.

Difficult to tell who is the best cause it`s too subjective and there are too many factors to consider. But I like the competition to wanner be the best, we can only benefit from it.

I was in Enugu 14 yrs ago and i liked it, very nice place so I reckon it wouldn`t take much to make the place very nice. No applaud just yet, still a long way to go, but we are on the right track. Lets encourage but please no hero worship, yet

The state government provided a platform for ordinary Nigerians and organizations at home and abroad to make contributions to the State Security Trust Fund by launching the Fund’s website with an e-donation payment engine and the Citizens’ Contributory Security system.

The money for the Helicopters came from the trust fund. It highlights the governors foresight and great sense of administrative and communal skills.

Lagosians don't live or have to live by other states standards because we have different realities and sense of obligation.

If Lagosians wanna hype their Governor, that's their business. Go hype your governor if there's something to hype him for.

Fash for sure man

Yes we know that Lagos is the highest internally generated revenue state, as it comes he spends it on issues that affect the masses or have we forgoten Tinubu and the rest of them so soon. All the internally generated revenue during their tenure, what did they use for.

So if somebody want to work, you will know. Fashola is the man of the people.

Below links will give a clue as to the performance of Rivers State government. Couldn't get much from the net. But to be fair to Amaechi, he is really doing well in the area of education, health and road construction.

i am just sick of people coming here to say things they don't know shit about. Fashola and Ohakim are both trying, they can't satisfy everyone but that does not mean you should ridicule what they do especially when they are doing good. if you can't appreciate the good things they do, then don't also criticize them.

The best Gov. of  the year is  His Excellency Chief (Dr.) Godswill Obot Akpabio.

BUILDING A DYNAMIC ECONOMY IN THE GULF OF GUINEA

The government of Akwa Ibom State drives a policy of people focused development committed to direct support for integrated multi sectoral economic stimulation to create macroeconomic stability leading to an increase in economic growth.

To leapfrog to a greater Akwa Ibom government is embarking on massive infrastructure development, cutting edge service delivery, sustainable people development strategies, and grassroots oriented interministerial projects distributed across all 31 local government areas of the state.

The government of Akwa Ibom State drives a policy of people focused development committed to direct support for integrated multi sectoral economic stimulation to create macroeconomic stability leading to an increase in economic growth.

Akwa Ibom State Government pursues a policy of diversified investment for a convergence of multi sectored infrastructure development for rapid economic growth. Government is leaving no stone unturned in the provision of physical and organizational structures needed for the operation of a modern Akwa Ibom society and enterprise, as well as the services and facilities necessary for the Akwa Ibom economy to function optimally.

Government is desirous of an increasing proportion of private investment in financing the State's infrastructure development being critical for the state to be part of the Nation's Vision 2020.

Environment here provides potentials for quick returns on investment as opportunities remain largely untapped, and ready for investors with entrepreneurial resources to key in. The State Government guarantees investors security, easy access to land, tax relief, public power supply through Ibom Power Plant and the enabling laws to secure investments.
 
Government is favourably disposed to top grade service delivery to ensure citizens enjoy the full benefit of the state's resources. By creating distinct service handles government has deployed cutting edge service modules at all service points such as Operation Aduma on security, EARCOM for social reorientation, bureau of cooperative development for cooperative societies among others.
Akwa Ibom State Government practices best in class project management techniques to keep tasks on the critical path to secure graceful deliveries against timelines. Prudent funds management and control has also ensured nothing leaks through the cracks and enjoyment of future benefits of unrealised funds without bank financial leverage. For known issues government has been speedy in deployment of policy framework and resources for favourable resolution.

The Government of Akwa Ibom State believes that human dignity is a true measure of human development and therefore has adopted a multidimensional approach to the development the dignity of the Akwa Ibom citizen. With the governments promotion of gender equality, child rights, free and compulsory education, elevated staff welfare, improved livelihood, decent labour relations, promotion of local culture and inclusive governance the government has attributed greater respect to the dignity of persons placing them at liberty for rapid personal, community and social development.

All Akwa Ibom government institutions have been repositioned to build human capacity as a critical success factor, the level at which participation is invoked has become different to support empowerment of the handicapped, less privileged, and the aged.

Akwa Ibom State mega projects have economic impact rippling beyond the shores of the State up to the nation, the region and the international community as a whole. These are projects that will involve large scale macro economic benefits as they affect more sectors and require a larger population mix to realise.


These projects will involve technical partners who will further invest through the state's Public Private Partnership (PPP) or Build, Operate and Transfer (BOT) arrangement.

The state will plan these projects by providing comprehensive feasibility studies and ensuring sustainability, environmental soundness, and social equity by working through appropriate government agencies.
In line with his promise and avowed mission of impacting positively on the lives of the people, His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Chief (Dr.) Godswill Akpabio had on Saturday, January 10th 2009 flagged-off the inauguration of over 550 life transforming projects across the State.

Specifically, the inauguration exercise began in Ikot Ekpene Senatorial District with the newly- constructed Cardinal Ekanem Road, and other projects, including a 7-classroom block, physiotherapy block, Assembly hall, Parameter fence with Gate house at St. Joseph's Rehabilitation Centre, Ukana Iba in Essien Udim Local Government Area. At Loreta Girls Juniorate, Eriam Afaha Obong in Abak Local Government Area, the Governor inaugurated 20 units of self-contained flats for the Principal and Reverend Sisters; 15 self-contained staff quarters and a 750m parameter fence with gate house



THESE AND MUCH MORE ARE THE REASONS YOU SHOULD VOTE HIM AS THE SILVERBIRD MAN OF THE YEAR

#Aloy Emeka!

I can see that you are so infuriated by some posts!

I aint concerned about who is awarding contract for who.
Not concerned about who is the godfather.
Dont even want to know how the state generate incomes!

Though what these governors are doing now
are our rights. We are supposed to say that they aint
doing nothing.

Security, health, education, good roads and inter alia
are our rights and not a privilege.

We all know what happened to our RIGHTS long time ago.

Fashola, my best governor, thank you so much for
not forgeting the RIGHTS of you people!

More GRACE!
