mikolo80: UNFORTUNATELY.SW HAVE WASTED THEIR SLOT WITH OBJ SO BEST WE CAN HOPE FOR IS MINISTER OR SENATOR(SENATE PRESIDENT) AND MAYBE VP(IF HE'S NOT MADE A LAND DUCK)

abokinside: Thats exactly what I want us to address here there is nothing like "SLOT" if the best candidate after jonathan is from the Bayelsa state then why not him? Why have a second best? When are be going to see government purely from the service point?

duality: @ op please tell me what fashola has done to eradicate poverty in Lagos. Start the campaign from this point. If I'm not convinced with your answer, I will not vote for fashola if he runs for presidency.

abokinside: I asked a question in the write up which I want you to respond to. Pls tell me one public officer that you know presently serving that has performed better than Fashola, with facts please? You know anybody can accuse anybody but when you ask for facts it becomes a problem. .

duality:

Look man,I don't know fashola. Note that you won't get any honest answer to that question because people see performance from various perspective; unless you want political answers.

If I am the minister of information, I'll tell you that the president is performing better than fashola relative to the time they have spent administering their present offices. I know you won't agree with that. So, for people like me who are neutral and not emotionally attached to any candidate, I don't ask your kind of questions. I ask the type I asked you earlier.

okey let me illustrate.

Mr A says Akpabio,

Mr B says Rotimi

Mr C says Fashola

Mr D says Uduagan

Mr E says Lamido

If they all give you their reasons, and evidences to back their claims you will not be able to fault any of them looking at it from their individual perspectives; Unless you have a sentimental attachment to any of the names stated above.

Your question is too weak for the level of politics you want us to play

This is my honest take on your thread. No offence.

Gracias.
Perfect is the enemy of good. What I am simply advocating for is the best man emerging as president and not those who ride solely on the basis of ethnic and religious sentiments to attain or hold on to power. Which you will agree with me that both Gej and Buhari represent. Left to me if Prof Pat Utomi had the political clouth he would ve been my preferred candidate.

chukwudi44: The same fasholaa who deported fellow nigerians and dumped them at onitsha? The same fellow who made the infamous statements "go back to your villages",the same fellow rolling out draconian elitist policies against the masses in lagos.God forbid!! He will only win in the southwest and fail woefully in other parts of the country including supposedly APC strongholds of the northwest and northeast

masu: Honestly speaking without any sentiment "Mr. Fashola is not the best performing governor in nigeria"
I blv with proves that Akpabio beats him hands down.

Fashola is in the same league with lamido, chime, amechi, rochas, and uduagan etc.

Lets forget about media over hype from lagos.

There is too many improvement in below few mentioned sector in akwaibom than lagos :
1) education
2) road construction
3) housing
4) water
5) cleanliness and beautification of the states

Etc

masu: I hav been to lagos and akwaibom and hav draw my conclusion,

Anybody can draw a better conclusion when he visit the two state not by media hype.
Sorry to my SW friends bcus too many depends on the info they get tru media of which tinubu hav influenced.

Im not a tribalist bcus mr.suswan my state gov is not even in line.

@ st black
ok now,with all d wailing and barking, if fashola and akpabio are to come out and present themselves on who majority of nigerians will chose,tell me who?......or how many locals in ur benue state even knows who d name "akpabio" can be in nigeria?cos i just dont get this sh*it u r rapping

abokinside: Nigeria at the moment is heavily polarised along ethnic / religious divides. Gen Buhari is not acceptable to many southerners, President Jonathan is not liked by many northerners aswell. If either of these two candidates emerge as president in 2015, the nation will be further polarised and might perhaps plunge into deeper crisis. Since the religious/ethnic tension in the land now is majorly between northerners and south easterners / south southerners, I suggest that to douse the tension created by religion and ethnicity we should look away from champions of the two primordial sentiments of ethnicity and religion that has held us down as a nation for several years.
Fashola is a moderate, religion wise, he is so liberal that he married his wife as a Christian though he is a muslim and she remains a christian till date. If Fashola becomes President a lot of the tension in the country majorly caused by ethnic and religious sentiments will give way because Fashola will not patronise such sentiments.
Secondly I think the time has come when the president of Nigeria should be shosen purely based on merit, only then can we expect development. Fashola is a performer even his enemies admit this fact. I believe Fashola is the best performing public officer in Nigeria at the moment (Pls if you know any better pls state with facts ). We have been plaqued with too many mediocre leaders, this has been the bane of our under development. Fashola, Buhari and Jonathan of the trio, I strongly believe Fashola is best suitable and most competent.
Another critical asoect we have missed out lately is charisma. Nigeria needs a very charismatic leader, we have missed out on this for a while now and its affecting us negatively at the world stage. Fashola is a very charismatic leader, just imagine him addressing the UN general assembly or his first visit to the white house side by side president Obama.
Can go on and on but I am sure most people dont like to read long articles.
Lastly why I think Fashola should be the next president, because he is a man United fan.lol
But really I think its time we do away with sentiment s and vote for a competent, charismatic and courageous leaders with great vision that can change the lot of the whole country. It was not easy for the Americans to vote in a black man as preident but the did they abondoned setiments that had ruled for centuries. In closing Senegal is predominantly muslim about 80% muslim yet they voted for a christian President Macky sall. We can also break this barriers once and for all in Nigeria. If you believe in this noble dream pls click like. I have never made front page but I hope this does.

Fashola -apkabio ..............not even close. Comparing a strategic thinker to a village headmaster.
In fact apkabio cannot become a commissioner in Lagos .
You have to compare him to obongo of Equatorial Guinea or other ND governors.
What they have in common,
Too much money but without a clue of what to do with it.

Now let me summarise the strategic actions of fashola and other SW GOVERNORS in a few words

they are trying to isolate the southwest from the rigours and instability of the nigerian economy.
Basically a state within a state.
1 tourism -lekki airport,eco Atlantic ,developments on the island-as the recent video shows, you do not need to go to the rest of the country. You can visit Nigeria without stepping out of the island.the potential returns from tourism is huge. Forecasted to be the hub of african high society and business headquarters of many multinational .

2 badagry development and badagry expressway-tourism,free trade zone like Dubai

3lekki free trade zone -hub of petrochemical and other industries ,market- the west ,central and South African regions

4Ok free trade zone(OGUN and ondo) -export oriented ,value added services-dangote refinery will be constructed here.


You see , an "intelligent" (emphasis on the word intelligent) Niger delta governor would have invested some of their huge resources on building refineries and power stations thereby cornering the market. However,it seems the southwest is running with that ball already.
Like the southwest already does with poultry and very soon rice.

Dude, all these things you keep referring to are still in the pipeline, they are not yet achieved, i hail from badagry and live in Lekki, there is no such thing like badagry tourism or expressway, they are all lies and deceit, infact that expressway is noe much worse than fashola met it, and taht Lekki free trade zone stuff remains what it has always been, a political Gimmick aimed at hoodwinking the people of lagos to continue voting ACN or APC. its unfortunate we are very gullible in lagos, even the Lekki - Epe expressway is yet to be completed years after it took off.

masu:

Thanks for your question above:
Too many people know fashola even in my village in benue, without knowing realy who the man is nor figure out the truth about fashola media hype propaganda.

Take for instsnce the 700 road contract fashola claim to do 2013 without naming any as we to ascertain if or not he did it at the end of the day. How do you trust a man that is not specific.

Talk about making lagos a tourist centre in Africa, seriously i will like to see that happen but b4 then dont forget that as we speak now Akwaibom is the number one tourist centre in the country.

So manythings fashola is planning to do is still on the pipeline while akpabio has accomplished most of them,
And when you compare the quality of roads built by fashola with that of akpabio you will weep for lagosians and that is why JB park and go to uyo.

Talking about airport and seaports pls kindly visit akwaibom and stop doing arguement base on Acn media hype, mm2 is motor par to compear wat akpabio erected in uyo even the road that leads to uyo airport looks like paradise.

A trip to akwaibom will change your perspective to nigeria politicians.
