mercydrops:

I have lived in Lagos, and presently i am in America and i must tell you i am impressed with the work of Fashola infact i like his style and charisma , but what this poster has said is not to bad about the multiple taxation going on in lagos , though he can't finish all the problems of lagos injust one term but its really unfair to tell the poster to pack his bag out of lagos because he has raised an important issue that requires serious consideration, i love lagos and i would have apppreciated it more if things were more organised to consider some neglected issue , please this is a forum and don't cruciify him for his opinion

felele:

Babapupa, I hope you have seen the light very clearly.

As you can see, Tinubu and all the people leeching off Lagos State will not give up their easy payday that easily. They need to be blitzkrieged out of Lagos by all of us discerning Lagosians, who can see very clearly what is wrong and what is right.

By the way, Forpeace, redsun and all the other Fashola bashers, could you explain to me what the Bola Tinubu Diagnostic Centre in the Lasuth Complex is all about? Why is a private facility allowed space in a hospital funded by taxpayers funds? Who does it belong to How about the Critical Care Unit in the same hospital? Who is receiving the huge amounts of money being charged for its use (N300,000 per patient at the last check)

How about 4 Oyinkan Abayomi (former Queens Drive) Drive, Ikoyi? This particular property was a Lagos State Government Guest House as of December 2001. It now belongs to a private citizen. Who is the person?

What exactly is Bola Tinubu's interest in Hi-Tech Construction Company, the obviously inept firm who seem to have cornered the construction contract for the expansion of Lekki-Epe Expressway?

On what basis were they awarded the ownership of that road for 35 years? Jakande built the original road within a space of 2 years without borrowing a kobo, and without issuing any bonds of any kind. Why is the expansion subject to a so-called PPP arrangement, if Lagos State was really making as much as N8 billion per month in IGR as Tinubu boasted severally during his administration??

These questions and more are begging for answers. Please answer them before anybody begins to even question Fashola's financial probity in this our beloved Lagos.

igbo boy:

Na wa o, if only lagos was a country, babapupa stop crying like lagos is your country, I dont think any well meaning nigerian wishes bad for Lagos.
EKO NI BAJE O 

babapupa:

You're free to call Lagos you country or whatever makes you snore properly at night.

Lagos state is my state and good o bad, I'm proud of my state, I love my state and everything it stands for. Till that becomes a crime, the joke is on you and the rest of the[b] homeless and proud less disgruntled elements [/b].

I do sympathize with you and I understand the frustration for the fact that you have nothing to be proud of, nothing to inspire you and no local role model to look up to.

And it makes no difference to me what you wish for Lagos, the facts on the ground tells the truth and so far, Lagos state is doing just fine.

Ndo,

Like Fela said: Suffering and Smiling, most Lagosians are like that. Like Americans they have not been to other parts of Nigeria so they end up with the opinion that Lagos is the best place ever, lmao, Ignorance i call it cos i was there for a couple of years. If you can or see an apening at your workplace, queitly move to Abuaja, good roads, security , Okada free, dirt free, Glorified touts in uniform free, Traffic free, Thats not all, you still get all the kinds of clubs you want, strip bar, bowling alley, silverbed cinema, shopping malls, Night clubs (Aqua, subteranean, Aristotle, Play etc, ) No look Uche face o, explore your options

Fhemmmy:

You can only explore those options when you have choices and when you ave what it takes to do that.
How many people living in Lagos today can afford life in Abuja?

shawn123:

hmmm, Many i tell you as long as you ve got a white collar job! It beats leaving your house by 5 am in the morning and being back home by 10:00 pm. If you decide to leave in Abuja, then you dont have to live in Maitama, Asokoro, or Wuse ( Abi how many people live in Victoria Island in Lagos?) same way you could live in the affordable areas like Kubwa, Lugbe, Karu etc house rent 120k and above! like i said, Lagosians need to witness the facts themselves and not by the general rumour,

shawn123:

@phemmy: yeah , your on point . It would only work for people who aleady have a job and can get a transfer at work. However this will soon come to be as most telecom companies are transferring some of their departments to Abuja. Really its not a place to come and hustle.

Fhemmmy:

If that is the case, i will advice all that could move to do so, however, dont forget too that Abuja was developed for a certain number of people, just like Lagos was some years back, so i only hope that Abuja will be able to support the wave of the move of the people there.

shawn123:

sure, however Abuja can accomodate more people than Lagos. The Land mass is alot bigger, also if you have been there recently you would notice most of the concentrated dual roads being tranformed to 8 lanes, like the kubwa and airport road. There is still room for expansion for now.

If he has a problem with any area of multiple taxation, he can write Governor Fashola directly, and I promise he will get a response within a week. He has published his email address already, so I'm sure he won't mind if I publish it here again:

brfgov@gmail.com

Unlike Tinubu, this man is accessible to the common man. I don't know him and have never met him, but when I raised a complaint about a particular issue, he responded almost immediately, and after many negotiations with his officials, I am happy to tell you that we have reached a resolution which, even though is not everything I want, has addressed the main issues satisfactorily. More to the point, I did not have to "see" anyone to get the attention I got. It appears to be the man's style.

By the way, in case you think I'm a politician or a billionaire, I am not, even though I hope, like everyone else, to be a billionaire someday, through my honest hard work.

forpeace:

Woe betide me if I give in to the shenanigans of all these lASG pple. .I am for peace,justice and equity. .So help me God
