Lagos state has always been lucky with working governors. From the time of Mobolaji Johnson,it's been forward ever.

With performance of Fashola as Minister of power, it is very clear that if not for Tinubu foundation, Fashola would have been worse among them all... So, I give it to Tinubu
Not Logical

performance as Minister of Power is totally irrelevant.
Why not bring in performance as husband?
It has no bearing to his performance as governor which happened BEFORE he became Minister

You cannot judge Messi for Best Barvelona player in history based on his performance at PSG is that rational?

How do we judge the performance of a Minister of power in Nigeria? What is his mandate? How much money was his budget as Minister of power?

If we are judging governors for what happens in their states and NOT COMMISSIONERS then we must judge the President and not his ministers

LegendHero:
Asiwaju Tinubu laid the framework of trying to make Lagos state independent financial wise which is one of the reason Lagos state has been on an upward trajectory since then.

Now Lagos is the only state in Nigeria that generate almost 70% of her total revenue internally. That means Lagos is non-dependent on federal allocation. A feat that was achieved through the framework of IGR system Tinubu laid.

However, Fashola exceeded expectations and if we are to be fair in this, I think he Trumps the others because he actually projected Lagos as the model state for development while building on his predecessor framework.

There are natural success factors that helped Lagos achieve those feats.

This is not to say no work was done. This is to say that Lagos is like no other Nigeria state hence any comparison would be unfair.

I do not want to get drawn into advocating for Tinubu.

all I can say is that What Tinubu inherited in 1999 was very different from what Fashola inherited in 2007

I am old enough to remember when there were Agbepo on Lagos Island so i can tell you the history of Lagos going back decades
Changing from Agbepo system was a huge step and there have been many changes since

To judge any governor you must appreciate what he inherited and what he left

without that information it is beer parlour talk

Anyways, Lagos that was handed over to you people to mess up comprises of Ikoyi, Lekki and the entire Island.

The mainland especially Ikorodu that was built with Afonjas mediocrity doesn't need evidence to tell that it was not part of the original Lagos.

As for Igboland, see what we were able to turn Umuahia and Enugu to without anybodys help.

My responses are in Red, Sir.

aribisala0:


Lagos State was NEVER the Federal capital

Semantics! Lagos was the seat of Govt during the Colonial era and immediately after independence, it continued to be the Capital of Nigeria.
Google will be of assistance in this case.


just a small part of the state and that ended over 30 years ago
You are contradicting yourself Sir. Lagos was either a Capital City (back then), or it is not. You can pick and chose.


How come the IGR was never high throughout the time it hosted the FCT?
Lagos State is much better today than it ever was when it hosted the FCT

IGR is always increasing for every State of Nigeria, but some have increased at a faster rate than others. Same thing with development but if you really ask me, as someone who has lived in Lagos in the 60's and 70's, l can tell you that THE QUALITY of LIFE in Lagos back then, was better than it is TODAY and the same goes for every other state in Nigeria. Back then, you can leave your door open overnight, back then, you can put a small child in a Public transport(LMTS) or ask him to walk to school, without fear of being kidnapped for Rituals. Back then, you can start the foundation work of your House without the descendant of Onikoyi or Kosoko bringing Cutlass to your property, asking for humongous amount, because they are Tinubu's street Urchins! Back then, there was nothing like Okada, we rode in descent public Buses, if you dont have a car and Lagos was not as dirty as this.
I presume you are not yet around in these good old days hence you may be forgiven, for not knowing the difference but please do ask around from those where were around in that age.


In 1985 in the FCT there were nighsoil men in Lagos city carrying feces in buckets,
There was nothing glorious about the governance of Lagos state under the military

The military is an aberration in governance but l can tell you, even as a dire lover of Democracy, that the worst military Govt in Nigeria (and theh military were terrible in government!), is far better than the best Govt we call "Demonstration-of-Crase" in Nigeria
If you check it out, the best things in Nigeria, even as of today, after 20yrs of uninterrupted Civilian rule (not Democracy though), were done under the military dictatorship.
How many refineries have Civilian Govts built in the last 20yrs?
How come a civilian Govt has been UNABLE to the 4th Mainland Bridge in the last 20yrs since Tinubu has been drawing it on a Video board? grin
Look at our roads today, look at inner city roads, street roads and tell me if their comatose situation was the case, in 1976? (we still have roads built in the 70's, still functional today, compared to the rubbish that these Poli-thief-cians are constructing.

I agree with you absolutely.
Ministerial appointments are done on Federal Character basis and especially under an Principal that is not progressive, Fashola can only do as much as his Principal will allow him.
The Cabals that have the ears and assurances of the President did everything to frustrate Fashola in that job, not to mention that the duo of Atiku and Hell Rufai, as Head of BPE and "Privatisation Agency", had already sold and tied the hands of anyone who occupies that post and made them beholden to the Cabals they sold "PHCN to, [b]through "Binding Contracts", after collecting their own share of kickbacks[/b]

Fashola is cranial, just like "StarBoy" PYO though, l think he is more decisive than even PYO, these are the type of guys l hope to see as President, in Civilian Govt, not all these recycled garbage that are currently fronting their selfish ambition.

I do not particularly want to hold the forte for Fashola but the perennial nature of the power problem is such that no Minister can fix it.

It is a Presidential issue . Unfortunately Buhari had no vision for the sector.
FASHOLA HOWEVER MUST TAKE STICK for saying it was an easy problem to fix

It is not a problem that can be fixed without money. Ultimately who makes revenue allocation decisions in the budget in this government?

I am not a huge fan of praising Ministers. The blame and praise should go to the President just like it is with the governors . No one is crediting the commissioner of Works in Rivers state for Wike's flyovers

I am sure you dont have an idea of how many people relocate from those places, to their Eldorado called LAGOS, on a daily basis.

Abuja is NOT a Nigerian state. You should know this. It's not a 'normal' place. It was never to/can never Jostle with Lagos as a commercial capital. So no comparisons here. In terms of planning, Abuja is /was better planned than Lagos — Oh I said no comparisons.

As for why Lagos was not better before 1999?
This shouldn't be a question as Lagos was already ahead of [most] Nigerian states before 1999.

That why we were comparing Lagos since 1999.

Wasn't it you that asked the comparison question about before 1999? I never did. You did.

I said since 1999 (even before) Lagos has (due to no magic of any) racked up several advantages that puts it ahead of virtually all Nigerian states from the word go.

Is this even debatable?

There is a difference between a plan and a dream

A plan is not a dream . Educate yourself on that
There is a Masterplan authored by Tinubu's administration that is still alive today

Are you from Lagos State?

I can proudly tell you I am

All Lagosian and even further afield acknowledge the impact of Tinubu from 1999

He implemented the BRT
The LASTMA
The LAWMA

Do you agree?

Anyway I am on record as opposed to Tinubu's presidential ambition and do not want to be seen as advocating for such

But there is no one alive that has contributed more to to the progress of Lagos State since 1999 than Tinubu.


Pls what is this "masterplan" you say Tinubu authored? Kindly share details. Is it a plan that has never been seen in the history of Lagos until Tinubu showed up?

How is Tinubu the only who has contributed more to Lagos than anyone alive since 1999?
