I wonder what would have been Fashola's chances of winning his second term as Lagos state governor if all he did was rant about the failure of his predecessor. Agreed, the past administration didn't get it right in so many places but blaming them over and over like you're a scratched disc won't solve the problem; stop talking & start working.

So... In this Nigeria where we all live, you expect me to believe that a contractor will continue working for 3yrs without getting paid... Is the name of the construction company Mother Teresa nig Ltd?? In this day and age where contractors have more lawyers than labourers!

As Minister of power, works and housing Fashola should not be telling us about bank of agriculture, in fact this government and their tomato incompetence should not be bragging about agriculture, the last Minister of agriculture already set the bar too high for them.

I voted 4 Change. ... I have lost faith in change.. . 1 year is gone let them focus on improving the current plight of Nigerians instead of trying to divide this country.

Statements like this only divides Nigerians into supporters of Buhari vs supporters of GEJ.. .. No matter how many times they highlight gej's failures it will not improve our current economic problems.

As at last year December I used to believe they can bring all these looters to justice but the EFCC unhealthy fixation on only the campaign funds and it's inability to get a single conviction despite overwhelming evidence has made me loose all hope.

Buhari, Tinubu, Fashola, Lai Moh'd u guys should please focus on the present GEJ is receiving international acclaim for his work in this country would you all be so recognized at the end of your tenure?!

If you read stuff outside of the prisms of them and us you would realize that Jonathan is not the target of that speech. He spoke about understanding the past in order to address the future. He was in fact addressing the civil servants that clear due process. Money allocated is often not used. It is true that some of it got stolen but some simply was not released due to admin bottlenecks. As we speak 350bn is slowly going through due progress. If care is not taken, only half will be released before next year's budget.

This is a warning is to civil servants working under this administration not an attack on Jonathan. I don't blame you. Many of today's young people have been sucked into " polarity" thinking; the assumption of an extreme position in order to argue against another extreme position.

Do read it again in the light of what I have just said.

Blessings.

The second time ruler ruiner who did NOTHING for eight years on the Lagos-Ibadan road and others.
Thankfully, Jonathan came along and dedicated himself to real work that many who are not zombies saw, felt and appreciated.

I thought Buhari was sold to us as our "only saviour" who can FIX all things.
What has changed

egift:
[img]http://pbs.twimg.com/media/CAwuEsjUQAA8eTD.jpg:large[/img]

This is a man who understands exactly what to do. Has a track record of victories. And has the political will to keep Nigerians safe across the Federation.

Kidnapper, Terrorists, Militants, Arm Rubbers, Criminals - find something legitimate to do with your life. The next President of Nigeria is NOT into Military-Costume-Wearing. He is a Retired Major General. Trained in Nigeria, India, United Kingdom and the United States. He is an over performer. He is not shy of the Facts. Our Senior Military Commanders will not eat Military budget and clean mouth under his watch.

Don't mind those that tell you that Nigeria Cannot be Changed. That things can't be better. They just want to keep looting. When they exhaust their lies, they will start mocking, insulting and posting cartoons.

While PDP are hoping to rig themselves in, Buhari and the entire APC team believe you have the capacity to elect Buhari with your votes alone. Let see who wins (PDP Rigging vs The Votes of the Masses).

This Change is Unstoppable. Sai Buhari. 5days to go!

Elxandre:

Of course I saw the error in his post, but I'm not as lame as you are to dwell on his technically wrong choice of words.

So it’s acceptable for him to use wrong Technical words even though they had be easily misinterpreted right?

Elxandre:

The fact remains he passed across a blatant fact unanimously agreed by most that power supply has depreciated drastically.

Power generation has dropped because most of our plants are thermal and the renewed militancy has affected our ability to generate to our maximum installed capacity. Fashola has managed to solve the legal hurdle (inherited from the previous administration ) surrounding Prof Bart Nnaji’s geometric plant. Obviously that’s a diversification from the cheap and otherwise thought to be readily available Gas which we now know and agree has inherent supply challenges. They have published their roadmap to sustainable improvement by ensuring they consolidate on the capacity and aggressively diversify the upcoming plants they plan to bring on stream.
The mambila hydro plant
The solar plants
The various other hydro plants scattered around the country

Elxandre:

The average man on the streets doesn't give a damn what took off his power supply, all he notes is that the present administration has made him buy several rechargeable lamps and power banks, and it is with this impression he will judge the performance of the administration.

You are not the average man so it’s your responsibility to educate them so conjectures don’t appear as fact

jaybee3:


Your username is a mockery of a profession i hold dearly

The country was at no point constantly generating to its installation capacity

Besides, most of the power plants are based on thermal technology meaning they are heavy reliant on Gas (which of recent has sadly become a scarce commodity) to power the turbines

Is this the first time you are hearing of govt starting works on lagos ibadan road?... If the last admin starts work on it, did OBJ's admin not at some point also do work on the same road?.. after OBJ, how much of the job was completed?.. after the past GEJ admin, how much of work was done on the road?... Once again the present admin has budgeted its largest chunk for this same road and the budget was only approved last month, so what exactly is the big deal about starting works on an abandoned road project?? undecided
