I watched the debate live and couldn't believe my eyes. The debate just proved that there is no alternative for Lagos other than ACN for now.

There is a gulf between BRF and the Dosumumu guy.

Dosumumu is so clueless that even when a little school child asked him what his plan was for the improvement of public schools in Lagos. The guy just looked into the camera and said something like, "I shall do something"

As for Mr. Randle, it was clear that he is living in the past. The moderator tried his best to wake him up to smell the coffee.

I do not reckon with the rest, they were just there for entertainment value.

Fasholar All the waaaaaaaayyy !!!!, He already owned it before they came !

Definitely Fashola. The debate was no contest AT ALL!!!! The other contestants were simply clueless. Dosunmu is a disgrace just like his PDP ilk. No vision, plan or agenda.

Considering the experience he's had for four years running now and position as incumbent, I do not rate Fashola high  based on the debates. He shied away from issues that if the opposition had planned well, may have floored him on easily.

For instance, on the issue of the tolls and cost of road construction in Lagos State, he only refered us to a website which (correct me if I'm wrong) only support the arguements of the opposition i.e. the costs are way too high.
If I was Dosunmu for instance, I would have come to the debate with those costs and also cost of building such roads in about five different countries and tendered it for the viewing public to see. That's what you do at a debate not to make allegations. (I remember the Abiola/Kingibe vs Tofa debates in 1993).

I also am not happy at the way he responded to the question from Mr Randle. I think he was unneccessarily rude. Maybe its the way I was brought up but I know you don't disrespect people older than you especially people who have paid their dues.

Overall though, I'm sad for Lagos. Fashola has done a good job over the past four years. But the level of opposition is saddening. Opposition are meant to keep you on your toes and bring out the best in you. The ones I saw at that debate seems to me like they are only there for a share of the cake. Fashola can only be there for another four years. What happens in Lagos after that?

you are truly right, no opposition and since there is none, Fashola all the way. They all came to ridicle fashola a SAN but unfortunately things dint go there way.

FASHOLA FOR PRESIDENT 2015

Brother, I disagree. The onus is on the opposition to plan well, they all had the same timeline.

For instance, on the issue of the tolls and cost of road construction in Lagos State, he only refered us to a website which (correct me if I'm wrong) only support the arguements of the opposition i.e. the costs are way too high.

You see what I am saying? You don't come to a gun fight with a matchete. It means you are clueless, Dosumumu is as clueless as the rest of 'em. The onus lies on the opposition to be well prepared, even ambush BRF. Dosumumu ought to have been persistent with his demand for answers.

I also am not happy at the way he responded to the question from Mr Randle. I think he was unneccessarily rude. Maybe its the way I was brought up but I know you don't disrespect people older than you especially people who have paid their dues.

Again, I disagree. Mr. Randle appear to have come to the debate with only one thing in his mind - to ridicule BRF. But instead, he got served! Respect they say is reciprocal. Permit me to quote "It is not about their age, it is about the age of their ideas" . . . BRF 2011

@ Moderator
Oyo State gubernatorial debate is on for Tuesday, 10am, Trenchard Hall UI. Organized by Splash FM(105.5). We would it appreciate if you place a similar pole on nairaland for us to have a feel of things, after the debate.

Should BRF present himself for 2015 presidential race and Ngozi comes in as VP,we shouldn't pay the latter with USD oh.

Me I fear Aunty Dora these days tbh. While I don't doubt her intellectual capacity one bit, I don't rate her high in the area of loyalty. But Ngozi Okonjo should be a good candidate.

Ofcourse I agree the opposition did not plan well. Even if the plan was to ridicule Fashola, they executed it like touts at a motorpark. You don't make allegations just like that, you table your facts.
Considering that the opposition has had 12 years to prepare (Tinubu's 8 and Fashola's 4), if this is the best they could do, its worrisome. BTW, what happened to Jimi Agbaje? He did very well at the debates 4 years ago.

As for Randle and Fashola, I don't know what beef they have for each other, I still think Fashola was rude. I can assure you that someone will quote that adage for Fashola when he gets to that age someday.  I also do think Fashola would have won more admirers if he had handled the matter maturedly.

Let's not get carried away though, all we've seen is on TV. These guys will prolly be somewhere this weekend drinking and sharing jokes after giving us (the 'masses') something to 'forget our sorrows'.

I like the venue of this debate. Such debates should be held in citadels of Learning. Kudos to the organisers.

I hope Akala will be there?

Randle is an historian.

history wasted is time.

FASHOLA ON TOP

RIDE ON JOOOO

Maybe it's me, but I don't think that Fashola was rude. Mr. Randle came with an attitude that was very condescending not only to Fashola as a person, but also to his office. Fashola's responce was very apt and direct. There was no insult.

Don't forget that Mr. Randle went further to insult the person of BRF, when he was asked about the literacy statistics of Lagos. He went thus: "I am not sure what the figure is, but I know that in the last 24 hours another figure has been added to illiterate Lagosians in the person of Fashola" Right there on live TV  

Ofcourse I know that they may be somewhere this weekend sharing the same lap dancers.

I actually said a big 'ouch' when Mr Randle made that statement. lool.
Im not absolving Randle, don't get me wrong. He was childish from the start and didn't handle the situation well. I also agree he 'invited' the response from Fashola. I just feel Fashola could have handled it more maturedly. But then again, maybe Im comparing the man with my own age. He may just be old enough to be Fashola's brother but he's old enough to be my Father if not Grandfather sef. So maybe I'm biased in that respect.

We can 'loan' her again nah and pay her in dollars, lool.

As for the Oyo debates, Im sure the organisers can make room for interpreters.

lwkmd. I will volunteer to do that if at all he needs one.

At least, i can go for a BSc in Yoruba Engineering becuz of him. Cuz i fear his conc. accents.

I am sure he will agree to see Mr Randle soon.

I am not really worried about the inability of Akala to communicate effectively in English

I will like to see an articulate Akala give an exposé about his achievements in the last four years, and also marshal out his plans for the future for the good people of Oyo State.

He may choose to speak in pidgin which I understand very well or Yoruba, I can get Dayokanu to translate and transcribe for moi

lool, true talk

I only hope that unlike Lagos state, Oyo state opposition will be able to provide better and more well informed candidates.

This post is gone.

Yeeeeeee ! I feel embarrassed for Bashorun J.K Randle o !  

This fashola no get respct o ! the guy finish the old man mehn . . . .  (Part 5 from 6:00)

Thanks for sending the Youtube links. . . God bless.

9ijaMan:

In fact there was an instance when Dosumu insinuated that Lagos is not benefiting from the FG because the state is being controlled by the opposition. Meaning FG is deliberately starving Lagosians off funds required for infrastructural development because ACN rules the state. This is the same PDP that wants Lagosians to vote for them!

If he really said this, then he is a reetard!

So are people being threatened that you have to vote for the ruling party to be treated right!

Ediot!

^^
Dosumumu was just behaving all night like someone who just got off a pepper soup joint and gbam into Muson center

Who else. No other person than BRF

Honestly, this ChannelsTV introducer/moderator/facilitator is irritating the hell out of me with his reetarded, wannabee fone accent.

Gawd! What a fooooooooooooool, I have belly aches out of disgust.

Furthermore, the cretins at ChannelsTV did not know how to write names of candidates on TV screens and they have no sound Editor to synchronise actual on-screen speech with sound of speech.
