It is no longer news that, the Lagos state Governor, Babatunde Fashola has again banned keke marwa & Napep from plying the lagos state secretariat route via Awolowo way. This latest developed was in addition to the suffering he had already posed in the state, by banning Okada(commercial motorcycles) from important roads to link our various working places. According to information, this report reached us in Allen Avenue/Aromire avenue/Adeniyi jones avenue/Oba-Akran Avenue etc today...wen we have so many commuters queued for Marwa, but to no avail. The question is, if this is not for selfish reason by Fashola, of whose interest is he doing all this crazy things that looks like a totalitarian & capitalism actions? If u re a government student anyway, in a state where we hav over 20M pple working & non-working classes, moving from one destination to another & the Nigerian system of government does not concur/correlate with dis wicked but business minded decision/Law of the BRF Administration.

Action point: 1. Fashola shud stop taking some actions & decisions that will negatively affect the good pple of the state & shud learn how to swallow pride by reversing some peak decisions reached by him & his cohorts... after all, he reversed his statement & decision wen he was going for second term.(He said ''its only dull students that repeat class'', wen they asked him if he would love to go for 2nd term), i still remember then.
2. his government is too expensive & making a lot of things go high on a daily basis. so he shud cut down its planned & proposed expenditures on projects
3. he shud learn more from Lateef Jakande(past Governor) concerning governing a large, heterogeneous & diverse pple like lagos state
4. he shud learn that all finger are not equal. if he is saying they shud go back to their village, then, he shud contribute to the village because, we all suffered & contribute to lagos state development
5. he shud ask majourity of lagians(pple who work & live in lagos) for forgiveness 4 all the wrong languages he has used on then.

MY PRAYER: ACN WILL NEVER RULE NIGERIA, because ITS A CAPITALIST SET-UP PARTY CONTROLLED BY ONE PERSON(JAGAABA)

thank you

Are you saying he has banned keke marwa too?

OP, are you sure? If yes, Fashola is making life difficult for Lagosians day by day. ACN can never rule Nigeria, that is very clear.

ACN has never made it's economic theory secret. What I want is for people to be developed so they can compete well. That's the only thing we can ask for right now.


I hate capitalism. It is too exploitative and leaves the wealth of people in the hands of a few.

I want an hybrid economic system that will fit the SW which is the biggest market in West Africa.

Natural resources belong to all people not private investors. Investors can be given 10% profit for management. i.e, We get a situation whereby the government forfeits 10-20% of the resources to investors for developing, exploiting while the people get 80%. The government can hands off other man made investments like Telecom, power, etc.. but will regulate such sector or even compete to keep the price balance for the people...

Capitalism is too raw and jungle to be practiced. If it wasn't for credit, Americans will be revolting right now. Capitalism is evil!!!!!

Natural resources should be used by all the people and not auctioned out to the highest bidders.

I don't think fashola knows the aftermath of what he is doing. he should better be careful not to tarnish the image of ACN. this is getting too much o!

Heavens did not fall when okada was ban in Abuja in port harcourt in owerri in caliber or in yenagoa why should it fall in Lagos, we all love okada but it's time we faze it out of our life because it's doing more harm than good sometimes we should think before we say things, we are quick to say they will not rule Nigeria yet we tolerate the stupid policies of the pdp

Ask yourself one bi question, if they dont ban okadas now, then when?...........Imagine what lagos roads will be like in ten years time if this okadas still remian on the road.

true talk...u re a gud economist student

youngmonie: Ask yourself one bi question, if they dont ban okadas now, then when?...........Imagine what lagos roads will be like in ten years time if this okadas still remian on the road.

in developed nations, they re using train instead of okada 2 transport pple 4rm 1 place 2 anoda, what do u hav 2 giv back in lagos 4 banin okada & marwa? Nofin!

See dem paid agents.

Instead to discuss how your home State will progress, you want to bring down progressive States.

afam4eva: Are you saying he has banned keke marwa too?

yes, from secretariat & its environs.

geez*:
What really is the essence of this post? Even the US runs a capitalist economy. Have you ever thought to yourself that even if there was a total ban on okadas, people will still move from one place to the other? Meaning there will still be opportunities in the sector for those who embrace the acceptable means of transportation in the state. Ever since the ban, I've identified more than four businesses that the restriction has created

somtimes some pple talk out of point. I dont blame u though, u ve been mesmerised wit fake picture u re fed wit. Nigeria is 1 indivisible country wit diverse culture, language & tribe, so his newly introduced capitalist system of govt can not work 4 us...otondo like u

History has taught us that capitalism is the most successful economic system the world has ever known. All countries that have made success in modern times did so on the back of capitalism. America built the biggest middle class known to humanity on the back of capitalism. China's rise can be attributed to the incorporation of capitalism into its economic system.

The beauty of capitalism is that it gives the best and strongest entrepreneurs the opportunity to create solutions that would in turn create employment for the rest of society.
I believe in Conscious Capitalism. One that brings out the best tenets of Capitalism and uses it for the betterment of the totality of society including upliftment of the weaker class. A good exmple of Conscious Capitalism can be found in Social Entreprenuership.

As for Fashola, I think he is a core capitalist. But what currently obtains in Lagos today is Plutonomy or Plutocracy if you like. Tinubu is the Achilles Heel.

America created the biggest middle class with credit!!! America's debt is bound to grow bigger than her economy.

Each American you see on the street rich or poor, owes $52,000 + personal debt. While JP Morgan Chase has a 2 trillion dollars assets..

You know nothing about capitalism bro. You are just repeating the same thing Americans repeat when they mention capitalism.

And stop the misconception of China adopting a little capitalism because China has state owed companies that they don't allow to compete with multi nationals by law. What this means is that, you can not come to manufacture a product already produced or can be produced by a Chinese firm as a multinational firm in China..

Stop the hype of capitalism, it's not working! Everyman owes the community they do business in but capitalism lets to go anywhere, acquire license, make money, get out with your money. Like shell has been polluting the Niger Delta for decades while.

Capitalism is going down and the ever expanding gap between the poor and rich proves just that!!!

History has shown that idealists are dangerous to humanity. Yes Ideals are the height of socio-philosophical virility. We must be careful not to become blissfully ignorant of present realities of life. It is like wanting to make Heaven on Earth. with the decadence and natural selfishness and individualism of man, it simply won't work. Capitalism ensures that the fittest (smartest) survive and this is quite important if societies and cultures will continue to flourish. where this is absent you get phenomenons like North Korea, former soviet union and china flourishing in human rights abuse, economic distortions and turbulence from being fairly isolated from majority capitalist nations.

But really this is not what Fashola is doing. He is simply ruining ACN from the inside because he intends to jump ship come 2015. with the confidence of Lagosians totally in tatters.. no one has to look to far to see Jagaban as the true cause of the ills in Lagos. it is already happening and as long as the 1-eyed oracle of bourdillion continues in his selfish and greedy quest for a kingdom without loyal servants.
