WE HEAR!

lookwonder:

the guy has made his comment but you all interpret it the way you like. even in advanced democracies, politician have mentors , nothing strange about it but a mentor should know his limit, when he begins to interfere with the smooth running of government, then he should be whipped into line which in Lagos State is obviously not the case.

A mentor simply put is a person one emulate and desire to follow in his footsteps in terms of value sysyem and ideology. to equate godfatherism with mentoring misses the point but because we like to believe what we have predetermined in our heart, we convienently adopt our pre-disposition. Fashola is doing well, no doubt that. To say that Lagos receives more is begging more. What has Bayelsa, delta, Akwa Ibom and all the oil producing state done with their huge allocation including 13% derivation in the last 12 years.

And is this going to prevent Fashola from commissioning another road, another school another bridge, another transformer factory, another water work, another hospital?

Very well said. Too bad many of the posters in this thread are known ignorants and illiterates, they read, reason and think from under their feet.

As usual, BabaPussie will always resort to calling people illiterates in order to prove his point. It is a little surprising he didn't call Emeagwali's detractors ignorant and illiterates even when there were no clear cut reasons to call him a fraud. Yes, there are no reasons to believe that Fashola has a God father apart from speculation but calling others illiterates when they think otherwise is unbecoming of you.

This bully tactic-politics gotta stop in Nigeria. Fashola hired these goons to troll websites in his defense and BabaPussie is rather doing his own unprofessionally. If BabaPussie can get this irritated online, he wouldn't hesitate to assassinate any detractor in real life on Fashola's behalf. You wonder why we have political assassinations in Nigeria?. As long as he is not paying y'all with tax payers money, keep on defending the sleazy crooked governor who is incidentally the best of the bunch in Nigeria

Tinubu was his Godfather but he yari for him in an omoluabi way, Tinubu wanted to deal with him but with the reality on ground, he decided to be his mentor. We need to demand more from our leaders, unfortunately, the politics of our country is structured in a way that Tinubu seems genial when compared to others.

Have you collected your kickback for this month from Fashola yet?. N50K abi?. I can afford to pay you that every month and all you need to do for me is to stick by the truth and desist from defending any lie even if it stands against your interests.

I suggest you find the meaning of illiterate/cy and ignorant/cy  from a dictionary instead of constantly throwing the words you have no idea what it means around. How illiterates manage to type on nairaland beats me.
Re: I Don’t Have A Godfather – Fashola by drmoney: 8:22pm On Oct 26, 2010
To those mouthing that Lagosians deserves more with the 17Billion IGR: it takes both political and managerial savvy for a state to make that much monthly. How many of the present governors, or even GEJ, can make that much monthly for Lagos?
Dont start an arguement that will consume you abeg.

This is an example of your ignorance and illiteracy,

Aloy+Emeka:

Yes, the real owners are richer than Dangote because I wonder which Nigerian or foreigner who will spend $40M on a project like that only to abandon it entirely. The deal has NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT written all over it. No matter how much Fashola and his cronies deny it, that deal was a fraudulent buy and they are stuck with it. All these private investor story is akin to Redeem private jet bought by the friends of Adeboye. Go preach to the choir with that forged story.






Aloy+Emeka:

And you are entitled to sheepishly live a fulfilled life in ignorance.


Ode ignorance is running your mouth and making up your own story about what you know nothing about.


The owners of the Yatch are still in court fighting against themselves. They are also fighting the state for trying to move the Yatch out of Lagos state.

Educate yourself before shooting your illiterate mouth all over the place.


N4.5b Sunburn Yatch: Court Restrains Lagos From Moving Vessel – Daily Independent

October 20, 2009 by Bunmi Awolusi

A Federal High Court in Lagos has restrained the state government and Multi-Purpose Infrastructural Development Company (MIDC) from moving the vessel containing the Sunburn Yatch Hotel out of Lagos pending the determination of a suit filed by Loneseed Nigeria.


Justice Binta Murtala-Nyako made the order while ruling on an experte application brought by Loneseed, which sued the Attorney General and Justice Commissioner, Supo Sasore Tourism Commissioner, Tokunbo Afikuyomi and MIDC alleging breach of agreement on the N4.5 billion Yacht Hotel deal.

Loneseed averred that Diamond Capital and Financial Markets Limited (a subsidiary of Diamond Bank) acquired 99.9 per cent of its shares to buy Yatch Hotel, and that Ugo Otuonye owns the remaining one per cent.

According to the plaintiff, sometime in 2007, MIDC approached Diamond Bank to fund the acquisition of the floating hotel, and the initial concept was that MIDC would work with the state government to participate in the project by contributing equity in the form of infrastructure and land.

My friend, I probably like Fashola more than you do but he lied by saying he don't have a God Father.Tinubu single handedly make him the AC gubernatorial candidate, causing a lot of disagreement among AC supporters.Ask the former deputy governor Femi Pedro he will enlighten better.

Really?
Canyou give any reason for saying that?

Fashola just said what I believe is the truth.
Whoever thinks otherwise should substantiate it with proof.
That Tinubu supported Fashola's candidacy doesn't neccesarily mean
Tinubu is his Godfather.More known names decamped to other parties buy still
lost to Fashola.Lagosians voted for Fashola NOT Tinubu.
The onus is on anbody who doubts Fashola to come out with hard facts and discredit him.
For all I know,Fashola is the best around and I hope the whole governors will have "mentors" like
Tinubu to lead and direct them.

My point is, this is really irrelevant. We have a good governor and I thank Tinubu for picking Fashola, for his foresight and judgment, the consequence of the same single handed decision is the good governance we are enjoying now and also the bright future we are looking forward to.


There's always going to be disagreement in politics, but Tinubu made the right call and the state is reaping the benefit of his actions.
Re: I Don’t Have A Godfather – Fashola by Hardtalk: 11:07pm On Oct 26, 2010
I dont like topics like this, because everyone knows his godfather!.
Re: I Don’t Have A Godfather – Fashola by dayokanu(m): 2:48am On Oct 27, 2010
He said Tinubu is not his Political Godfather but Political mentor?

Whats wrong with having a mentor? Obama probably has a mentor would that translate to Godfather in that context too.

I heard Fashola is doing good, keep up the good work
Re: I Don’t Have A Godfather – Fashola by freshcvvs: 7:05am On Oct 27, 2010
so what?
Re: I Don’t Have A Godfather – Fashola by honeric01(m): 7:08am On Oct 27, 2010
Godfather, Godmother, Godsister or whatever it's called, does that change his name from being Fashola?

He chose to call Tinubu his political mentor and not the traditional Godfather all Nigerians are used to (even the ignorant ones), so what's wrong with him choosing that word rather than the latter?


As long as he's doing well, all you ranters are nothing but wastepipes, you can go hug a wet transformer, who care? undecided

Re: I Don’t Have A Godfather – Fashola by ud4u: 10:43am On Oct 27, 2010
What do you people want Fashola to say? to say he has a godfather?, but we all know that he has. So what ever english he uses for it, it is called godfather.
