Apparently Fashola wasn't being rude. Bashorun Randle actually has a criminal case against him

While we are debating and identifying our favourites for president and governors of our states, we should not lose focus on the candidates for national and state assembly legislators.
Let us scrutinise, select and mobilise support for our choice based on their individual integrity rather than blindly following party's choice that may be the wife, kid, in-law, relation of the party godfathers. It wouldn't be such a bad idea if the senatorial candidates, at least, can do a debate as well.
We can reduce the legisLOOTERS and increase the legislators who can channel our needs to the executives and make better laws for us all.

Sagamite:

Honestly, after watching this, the display by Fashola shows that he is way above and ahead of these other candidates. He is structured, clear and intelligent in his delivery and queries.

The ANPP Tokoya is a reeetard with his constant Divine rubbish.

The JK Randle is a complete cretin with his rant as a 67 year old so he must be able to see the Governor. And he rambles on insisting on his age and making stewpid claims of sacrifice for lagos, not putting forth any logic. What a foool.

The APGA ediot rambled so much and never knew where his argument was or going sometimes that the facilitator had to ask him "So what is your question". I felt depressed and was thinking these are the kind of incompetent mooorons that are in public positions in Nigeria. How the hell do you achieve goals in a meeting with such a fooool.

The PDP Dosunmu was the only credible opposition and he was full of PDP.  

Time2Think:

what brilliance did anyone see in Fashola?

Time2Think:

This is why we will never progress in Nigeria. Y[b]ou are using the performance of a few 4 or 5 people to condemn the entire country. [/b]

So sad.

Must you compare everything with anything oyinbo? Come on - say something better. MP ko, MPA ni. Senator ko, Senator ni.

This debate is all one needs to watch to understand what is wrong with our country.   It is more than obvious that most of the candidates are incapable of putting together clear, well thought out and relevant answers to the questions put to them.  It simply shows that in a country that has produced a Nobel prize winner, world class intellectuals and professionals, our leaders are our achilles heel.   Can you imagine anyone of the candidates with the exception of Fashola, and maybe the Dosunmu guy, holding his own against an MP in England, or an American senator, and responding to questions in a measured, calm and logical  manner?   I have long ago come to the conclusion that people who get to leadership positions in Nigeria, and most of Africa, are not usually the most intelligent, refined or well educated.  They are instead people ruthless enough, brutal enough, and cunning enough to push others aside and claim the main prize which is usually the keys to the state coffers and the motivation for seeking political office in the first place.  We should have more of these televised debates so that we can see for ourselves the dangers of allowing the inept and the incompetent to lord it over us.

I'm very sure everybody that has spoken here doesn't have or own a business,surely fashola is the man and he has all the abilities a governor should process ,however the issue of multiple taxation should be a concern to everybody that has a business or runs one,if also with the amount of revenue Lagos generate you guys still feel fashola is the man for doing his job then we're doomed in this country ,i personally think the opposition doesn't have a clue and issues were not tackle in this debate,so therefore my vote is not going to a party that's not helping my business rather forcing me out of business in other country federal and state government will think about how to help small business grow but here reserve is the case and you guys can even see that,i agree with dosumu on issues like the tax,how the revenue are being distributed and the state of infrastructure in the state ,if we look @ the revenue in Lagos state you should agree with me then that all Lagos street has got to be tired and not major street like we see.The issue of using money generated from this state to finance other states is also worrisome and must be addressed,to crown it all fashola is doing his job and we mustn't give him the highest props yet cause he hasn't been able to court the wing of his godfather that make our revenue not fully utilised and those are real issues.I believe fashola has the right and genuine intentions however he's surrounded by ashiwaju boys which make his job extremely impossible ,we all know the amount paid to tinubu's company every month and trust me this people are no jokes they have sold all the lands in this state,ACN IS A RECRIMINATED PARTY,SAME AS PDP ,PEOPLE OPEN YOUR EYES.MY VOTE GOES TO CPC,

Time2Think:

Fashola couldnt answer a few questions from Dosunmu

1. about the roads costing 1billion Naira per kilometer

2. the houses that sells way over 40m - 50m Naira

3. the un employment register he promised to create in 2007 - he claimed its on their website - not sure if it ever was.

4. why dont they publish the costs of their projects for others to see.

5. housing for the populace.

and a few others.

I didn't go into details but this was exactly what i was trying to say when i said Dosunmu made some valid points.( Especially the highlighted parts) Even the fact that most Nigerians cannot afford to buy a house etc. People must try to understand that other people are entitled to their opinions and views on tins. I personally do not support anyone and like i said earlier on i am not that into politics and that is why i didn't finish watching the debate. Pls note that my opinions are mine and yours are yours.
