I hope you guys read the comments made by mark very well.
He only insinuated more fund from ecological funds to be released to parts of Lagos state
that were flooded in the past few days[b] for rapid development and amelioration.[/b]
He was not asking for total state of emergency in terms of anarchy.

Please let us read articles well before criticizing.

ONE NAIJA = ZERO TOLERANCE TO BOKO HARAM + MEND

Maybe you reading with your 2 legs up David Mark move motion of State of Emergency While Ganiyu Solomon move motion of Fund from Ecological is David Mark and Ganiyu solomon the same name read again and respond

N.B that David Mark is a disgrace to National Assembly

It sadden me when i see people contributing as if the are kids. state of emergency in this context is for FG to help and not to interfere in the governance of such state. remember the senate president president even talked about ecological fund. saying the state involve should inform the central govt in time. mind u, the discussion was opened by an ACN member. let us always talk as enlighten fellows

People should stop exhibiting their ignorance on this thread. David Mark's call for a declaration of state of emergency in flooded areas in Lagos, does not mean the Governor will be removed. A state of emergency in this situation means that an urgent and focused attention should be given to those areas in Lagos by the Federal Government in order to avert similar occurrence.

Just like GEJ announced on assumption of office last year that he is declaring a state of emergency on power sector, though after all said and done not much was achieved.

oldtime:

Foolishness,  He wants to speak for Lagosian, As if he really cares, When it comes to Flood, which is not our real problem, they want to be heard, as though they care for the poor who has been at the receiving end of their Un-parliamentary representation Visionless men, band of men overtaken by fraud and moral turpitude, Myopic Politician, Irresponsible adolescent, irreligious clerics, the Pain of our contradictions, the cause of our woes, zealous errand boys who regard not their Lords (The People)
He must speak for us on Flood,
He would not, for Bad roads,
He must be heard because God sent rain,
But they will not correct the anomalies of their abnormal affluence in the face of national poverty and collective embarrassing shame called Nigeria
They will be quick on flood because they really would do nothing about it
But they will not talk of “Nepa” or “Power Holding” 
They have not made any tangible marks on “Boko Haram” Yet without shame they want to comment on Flood, from Abuja
Or maybe his concerns are his Mansion at Ikoyi or Lekki and not really about the people in Ijora or Ikorodu.
Now that he has spoken, are the roads repaired, are the drainages ensured?
All they do is talk………………………,  Since I was born in this shame
A house is indeed not a Home, Nigeria is still a house with these confused men
Medicines after death, whereas, the death was caused by their negligence,
Thank you our lawbreakers 

Sometimes, some men should just keep queit

wow, you waxed poetic on this one. i like!

well as for Mr David Mark, I am rather suprised at his speechlessnes on boko haram then sudden flash of insight on the flooding in far away lagos.Priorities, Mr Mark. Or you dey fear dem boko boys face.

This is why often times I don't understand politicians(even my older bros and uncles that are core politicians),I find it hard to understand what informs their thinking,ideas,decisions and actions.

Now why on earth will anyone be asking for a state of emergency in some parts of Lagos?Is it not more rational to declare one in Borno state first,then Bauchi and all the other Boko Haram infested states?

Mkpotu:

A state of emergency in this situation means that an urgent and focused attention should be given to those areas in Lagos by the Federal Government in order to avert similar occurrence.

Such focused attention tends to be at cross purposes with the efforts being made by the local autority and it hampers their effort,the result is mostly confusion and disagreement that will not allow any reasonable work to be done,especially as Nigerian oppostion parties are involved

who will declare a state of emergency in the National Assembly?
the stupidity and greed there is a man made disaster of gigantic proportion.

Hohohohohohohahahahaha

LWKMD tears are welling up in me eyes from xcessive laughter

Instead of calling for state of emergency in Borno they are only concerned about Lagos and Kano,what manner of leadership do we have in this country?

N.B that David Mark is a disgrace to National Assembly

The Senate President, Senator David Mark on Thursday pushed for the declaration of a State of Emergency in areas affected by last weekend torrential downpour[b] in Lagos[/b] and other parts of the country.
The Senate President, who spoke at the end of the motion on Flood Disaster in Lagos State, moved by Senator Ganiyu Solomon, said the Federal Government should be ready to use the ecological fund to assist the affected states in their time of needs.

YOU are the one reading with your dull brain down-turned in a sinistral orthogonal direction.

may be you should read the article again. i dont know why NL if full of retards

The flood in Lagos state should be the least of the problems the FG should attend to for now. Fashola has been able to show us that he is capable of attending to/solving the problems Lagos is having.

The Presidency/Law makers(breakers) should concentrate on solving the teaming problems Nigeria is facing, you guys should wake up, there is fire on the mountain in Nigeria, yet you guys are still thinking of taking over Lagos state from ACN.
In short Nigeria needs to break like South Sudan.
The Muslims don't want the Christians mingling with them, and they will kill and maim for this, they have demonstrated this countless times.

Boko haram doesn't want western education,they cant tolerate alcohol ,yet alcohol is a normal thing in the south, especially SS, so why are we still together?

Socio-cultural and Religious differences is what we are experiencing in this country,coupled with incompetency and embezzlement/misappropriation of funds.

Incompetency in the sense that majority of our politicians does not even know what they are doing,they lack the ability to solve the problems we are facing, they are not fit for the exalted positions at which they find themselves.

Why not declare it in the whole of Nigeria?

@ jimmyho and Mpkotu, you may both have a point, but, pray tell, how much better does declaring a state of emergency in Lagos make the situation better, taking into consideration the Federal Government's reputation a regards disasters. When has declaring a state of emergency ever actually made things better in this country? As you, Mpkotu pointed out, we have not witnessed much of an improveent in the power sector since bros J declared a state of emergency in thatsector last year. So why not leave thoughts of declaring states of emergency in places where the government is known to actually work and focus on borno that is much, much closer. If the federal government wants to render assistance to Lagos state, they should do it already, instead of wasting time in panel and sittings and filling our newspapers with ridiculous proposals that reek of misplaced priorities.ear.

Is dis true?

There should be a state of emergency for d amount of money david mark andhis cohorts are legitimately stealing from nigerians

This man sef,
Why has he nt said anything about Borno where lives are being lost everyday as a result of d bokoharam menace ? Which of d 2 states needs a state of emergency declaration ? We all knw dat Fashola is capable of handling d issue alone even if all d PDP governors are askd 2 leave their respective states & concentrate on Lagos, they can not do better than him(Fashola).
Senate presido pls declare d much needed state of emergency in Borno & leave Lagos alone.

A case of buttocks messing and the head recieves the knock

They adhore d efforts Fashola is making for a change.They want to bring him down by all means

Fasholla may not be perfect but he is about d only politician in nigeria with practical vision.ANYBODY THAT CAN RESHAPE LAGOS

MUST BE FROM D OUTER SPACE.From a planless slum to what is beginning to emerge as a city

Even orgarnized and well drained cities flood in england with a quarter of rain taht fell in lagos

foolish People Doing foolish Politics. i can't blame him,u know most of them have properties around those areas.what did he say last year when ikorodu and co were flooded . state of emergency in lagos and cool bombing in borno.what a f***ked guy. :

talk without correlation.

useless david mark , useless pdp, useless state of emergency. unless we find a way to dethrone this pdp, we will never see the nigeria of our dream.

Why is Mark always calling for state of emergency? Is that the only solution he knows? During the kidnap saga in Aba, he called for state of emergency in the whole SE not just Aba. Is this guy for real?

He is just a fcking nigerian soldier,a dicckheaded zombie

Boko Haram has striked in most of the northen states including Abuja, i think these states and the FCT deserve the state of emergency.
I hereby declare a state of emergency in Abuja and as such, declare that GEJ should vacate the Aso Rock. He should hand over to the CJN. LOL

Those who voted PDP enjoy your fresh air

Mark is right, a S.O.M should be declared in lagos ASAP. Fashola is a flop

no where in this world, have i ever heard, about state of emergency because of flood
IT is a natural disaster
tell nigerians not to throw death on the way no more
when fashola was trying to get people away from lagos, ppl condemned him
lagosians are stinging, when ur house dnt have proper plan, dnt build it on water

LAGOSIANS LANDLORD ARE STINGING!!
