Starting with the most recent of not too long ago - the OKADA BAN. You will not agree with, I already know, and we'll both save the argument but that policy has hurt a lot of people, economically, financially, socially, mentally, than normal.

[size=14pt]Reacting to Fashola’s comment in a statement, Aturu described the governor’s comment as regrettable and condemnable, saying “it shows that the advertised democratic credentials of his government and of himself are not even skin-deep.

“It is highly hypocritical to posture as a democrat and be so patently hostile to voices of dissent as the Governor has demonstrated. The Governor should point out those who asked him not to implement laws banning firecrackers. If the State has failed to implement any existing law on firecrackers, the Governor should accept responsibility for that failure rather than shifting the blame on social critics.”

He added that: “The touchstone for measuring democracy is not opposition to the Federal Government but a holistic and consistent defence of the truth at all times no matter who may feel aggrieved[/size].

Eko Ile: You see the red highlight? (No Okada Accident in October) That's the idea, that's all we are looking for..

babapupa:



The government is not banning private motorcycle and they didn't even ban okada.

Myself2: How did this thread derail from being one about Aturu's condemnation of Fashola's hypocrisy and pretence about being democratic to off-topic tales about motor cycles??

GARRI (x7):


Noted..

Fashola should however note that critics are essential in a democracy. The major function of the opposition is to keep the ruling party on its toes at all times...

thelastPope:
You need to go back to school. Is America not debating gun control? Is that not a saftety issue? Must you make a comment on this thread?

nitrogen: @ Eko-ile, thanks for that, it is there for them critics to see, with statistics and it is even evidence based.

Eko Ile: Just today.....

babestella: Why linking ban of firecrackers with ban on Okada or other traffic laws. It has no connection in any way. No one has ever criticized the ban of firecrackers in the state. Fire crackers has always been banned every Xmas season, and no one complains. So why if our governor Fash linking the fire incident to criticism from the opposition on other socio-political matters in the state.

If firecrackers are still sold in our country during festive seasons, I think the government has failed in her responsibility to protect and to screen every item that is being brought into this country. To me, looking for the importers are way over board, the Nigerian customs should be sanctioned in this regards.

aguiyi:
can you stop tinking with ur anus? are firecrackers not used in other parts of the world.
jobs they can not create, the littles ones nigerians are able to engage in is hunted daily and you come here to tell me craps?

crazy i tell ya, crazy

Eko Ile: You see the red highlight? That's the idea, that's all we are looking for..

nitrogen:

Are you for real, so those your so called little jobs should be encouraged at the expense of the lives of the people?

I shake my head for you.

aguiyi: u are dancing round in circles my friend. what you posted up there is not an answer but a question.bro, i have seen firecrackers in display outside this country.

i expected fashola to advocate the manufacture and use of less harmful ones.

would fashola say he has never used a firecracker or would you nitrogen or oxygen say you have never

huptin: Fashola likes playibg to the gallery too much, serious issues of development are left unattended to,while trivials are celebrated, for a start [size=14pt]lagos roads are in terrible conditions,[/size] fix them sir and leave okada and fire crackers alone.

Fashola, who also spoke on the traffic congestion being witnessed in many parts of the state said, “I think it will be fair to say not less than 50 percent of us drove ourselves here, so there are more cars on the road. And we are also seeing increases in new vehicles registrations in Lagos State which is a sign of a growing and emerging middle class.

nitrogen: Who is Aturu? Abeg tell him to park well jooor!

duality: without prejudice, Aturu made a valid point and such submissions are sinequanon for our democracy. This is the only way we can get the best at both Federal , State, and Local government levels. Unfortunately what i see every day on nairaland; are bunch of ass kissers of both Federal and State govt trying hard to out do one another.
