what goof? If not that our reasoning as nigerians has been so bastardized by our corrupt leaders that we can't see how the president's visit is connected to the robbery(not saying he perpetrated it).

Robbers of such calibre do not operate without solid information. How well do you think they can operate when they get info from the police themselves about how majority of their men will be at alert concerning the president's visit? Maybe these robbers have been studying the trend of mr president's visit and must have noticed how concentrated on him the nigeria police are whenever he visits any state, a thing they took advantage of.

It's just so sad that here in nigeria, we ignore little signs that might lead to the solving of big cases.

Illiterates everywhere.

Fashola shut up!!! Own up to your resonaibilities you dimwit. Did you blame GEJ for the awesome federal roads he's building? No. You kept mute leaving the impression that you were the one that built those roads. Shame on you!!! See what politics of getting oil well has done to this man. Too bad you won't get anything tho cos Buhari would never win nothing

liberty300 or what do u call yourself? I pity for unborn children. common sense are not common. don't u think the robbers made use of the situation at hand in. anyway State Govt actually push for rehabilitation of FG road within their domain before it is done. pls road is not the only thing we need. I am sure u'v never being to foreign country

arsetalks:
stating a reason why something happened is different from blaming someone. He never said it was the responsibility of gej to police the area in question did he?

Be honest with yourself. Does the constant visit of Gej to Lagos lately put pressure on the police force or not?

Where was the police while the robbers operate or is it Fashola's responsibility to provide police as well?

What has GEJ done to question Mbu the man he himself put in charge of the policing affairs of Lagos state.

Be honest to yourself please.

The questions you asked are such that need immediate answers. These are the issues. Something is wrong with the system! And trading blames will not resolve problem.

My honest opinion.

vuvuzuela I like that word so much,Na the name Wey fit bati be dat vuvuzuela

There is no need to say illiterates every where because of your opinion which can be better described as a fallacy. There were police men stationed in that zone for security purposes out of which three were killed. Assuming the president was not in Lagos, and men of the police force were deployed from Alausa, would the robbers not finish their robbery before the arrival of the police? Fashola is a serial unguarded statement maker.

Which responsibility are you talking about? Fashola does not control the police, you are busy spewing nonsense. You better go buy correct sense for alaba market...OPONU amukun meko

you prolly mistake me for an ibo man that dropped out of school to engage in bartending or a fraudulent business.

I aint no illiterate cos am a graduate and work with a marketing agency, unlike your jobless self who goes about threatening to post people's pictures on nairaland, just like you threatened desola and christyG last night.

Grow up chidozie and do something reasonable with your life cos picture posting don't scare me. I'll even post along with you.

Coldfeet:
My dear we are talking about Nigeria! Not America or the UK! And I see no basis for your comparison. In those countries you listed how many of their governors campaign like fashola did riding on top of a moving car and throwing food into the gutter like this?

as for your other assertion mister "I've been to" I'll let you reel in your ignorance.

My sister if indeed you have ever left Nigeria, it makes your views even more SHOCKING!!! Even in Ghana, South Africa and Togo their presidents do not use the state's entire police force to move from point A to B!

It amazes me when people who ought to know better actually condone wrong doing and worse still call it GOOD. So you apparently think that it is right that 2000 policemen be assigned to guard ONE MAN while leaving the rest of us helpless? You apparently believe that our politicians are GODS and the rest of us are non entities.

Are you aware that these policemen are paid with your TAX money?
Are you aware that the president is a PUBLIC SERVANT not a PUBLIC GOD?

For heavens sake call a spade a spade and stop thinking like a slave!

When Obama travels, one hardly knows he is in town, his motorcade is moderate, and the cities are safe, sometimes he walks to where he is going ,I rode a train with a governor one time, but when our corrupt leaders travel they go with a battalion of army and police officers, things have to change, how long can we continue to live like this

[/s]

You mean the creator of ISIS?

arsetalks:
It is you who ought to shut up. Did Fashola ever said robbery do not take place in Lagos? He said last 2 years. Or if you dispute that too, tell us one of such robbery that took place in Lagos in the last 2 years.

You have the effrontery to tell someone to shut up whereas you make no sense whatsoever. You lot are a disgrace to this nation. You have been blinded by sentiment that you can't think.

You even said he should own up to responsibility and apologise to Lekki residence, which school did you go to? We need to legally seek refund from your schools. It is a shame the way you turn out dumber than before you were sent to that school.

When has it become the police become the responsibility of the state government?

I think it is time you leave Nairaland and face your book ( I do not mean facebook) .

The other time it was 5yrs ago

So you need 2k officers to stop 5 people? CHAI..... Thunder fire lord luggard wherever he is

I won't insult you because you are a fellow gunner and a blogger like me too.

However note that the police were on alert for the presidency. And that took priority. Ever wondered why GEJ has been so irresponsible with the issue? How come Mbu hasn't been queried on what happened? Maybe because Gej knows his INCESANT trips to Lagos is partly the cause?

anyway what happened has happened all we need is to fix the loop hole and not accuse the president of using 2k police officers which i dont think is possible............ some how i having a feeling this people are also responsible for last 2 weeks bank robbery here in my school

The Best governor in Nigeria has replied the lousy and mentally derailed Abati....

GMB until Abati and GEJ get sense

[quote author=Glowstone post=31732896] I blame Jonathan that FFK is a bastard [/quote hey don't blame cos its not his fault blame the governor for not providing enough security

Nonsense! Did Jonathan visit when Armed robbers invaded 4 banks simultaneously at Alaba International? Did Jonathan visit Lagos when Armed robbers robbed at First bank Coker 2 years ago carting away millions of Naira? Did Jonathan visit Lagos when armed robbers operated in broad daylight at Eko bridge for over 30 mins without any police available to help?

Fashola should connect tongue to brain before he talks next time, this is so demeaning for a state Governor to say.

GenIgrigi:


**grins** Who takes the opinion of an illiterate Barman serious?**LOLS**

shet! LOL

snthesis:
Fashola should just give up and own up to his clueless unguarded,not-properly-thought-through utterance...

doesnt he understand the security implication of the President been shot/ambushed while in Office. more than 3lives will be affected. the entire country will run amok and this will be reverberated round the world. the President of Nigeria is a very very important person as he directly/indirectly impacts the lives of over 150million people

Are you minding him?

and who's fault is it? I bet you didn't know that there are certain levels of govt. ignoring the govt closest to the people and blaming the top govt is not only ignorant but foolish

But in this case, we know who to blame.....

mycar:
Fashola goofed, he should own up and apologise.

Goofed how if I may ask?Have you ever been in a town where GEJ visited of late. Fashola is very right.

Segeggs:
@bold

Are you for real? I guess you dont live lagos.

Which road did GEJ build in lagos?

Mention atleast one.

One Road GEJ built in Lagos? How do you guys get this audacious with mumulity and not get ashamed? Do even know where Lagos is?

Shattap there!
You are the bigger illiterate my friend!!.. why would fashola mention the President on issues that meant for the police commissioner of the state?? Was the president responsible for the police posting? If any one is to be blamed, it should be the gov and police com not the president.

its rather unfortunate that politics has made people lose their sense of logical reasoning....
is this the first time jonathan is visiting lagos??...or better still...is it the first time a serving president is visiting lagos??
who would fashola have credited the sucess of other robberies that took place in lagos when the president was not in lagos??
..have we considered the fact that the 2000 or more police officers might have been deployed from neighbouring states??..
people shud endeavor to reason logically and not with sentiments

i am sorely disappointed in fashola for such an unguarded and illogical statement...
but i guess it comes with playing politics in nigeria

GenIgrigi:


**grins** GEJ until you grow taller. **LOLS**

Who is this Maga?

Segeggs:
fashola did his best in providing enough equipment for the police in lagos, a duty of the federal government. He has every right to blame GEJ cos he's the c-in-c who pulled all the security meant for the state, which were mostly provided by fashola, to himself while the citizens were getting robbed.

It was said that the armed robbers came through he water ways and the security of our water ways was contracted to the militants by this same GEJ.

sleemfesh:

One Road GEJ built in Lagos? How do you guys get this audacious with mumulity and not get ashamed? Do even know where Lagos is?

you should have used this effort in telling me atleast one road he built in lagos, instead of ranting.

Fashola mad.man.

What is this one saying? Security has always been porous within the lagos metropolis,also the robbers came by boat and escaped the same way they came. The question is this the first time a bank has been robbed and policemen killed in lagos? Fashola should tender an unreserved apology to the president fo his callous statement.
