Firefire:
Mile 2 to Badagry is not part of Lagos... You cannot see any sign of MEGA-CITY in that region.

The 8 lanes are now a mirage, Mile 2 to Apapa has become a death trap.


All Local Government and Development Centers in that region are only sharing the Federal Allocation.

I understand the Federal Government Road in that area is long abandoned, unfortunately the LG & State Government the closest to the people have likewise abandoned that part since 1999.

Lagosians deserve more than what they got from ACN now APC in their 16 Years rule of Lagos.

It is time for you guys (Lagosians) to show APC the way out of Alausa.

Lagos state government has earned $40 billion plus in revenues between 1999 and now.
The money – less salary and running expenses - was partly shared between Alhaji Bola
Tinubu, and Alhaji Raji Fashola under corporate guise in the worst scam ever in modern
Yoruba history.

Last year, Lagos state floated a loan bond of about 80 billion Naira and got public
investors to subscribe for repayment with interest but once the bond was fully
subscribed, Raji Fashola took 40% of that money - about 35 billion Naira or so
- and handed it over in cash to Bola Tinubu, via a bogus corporate front.

This patently corrupt deal was ostensibly to buy back Lagos state 'concession
rights’ on the Lekki tolled Expressway, according to Raji Fashola. But what the
corrupt and clever by half Raji Fashola did not say is that the land at issue
belongs to Lagos state and was never sold to Bola Tinubu’s company in the first
place. Or did Bola Tinubu’s company invest 35 billion Naira developing the road.

In other words, by sheer fraud, Raji Fashola paid Bola Tinubu 25 years profit upfront
without any further work. A lien was then imposed on Lagos state allocation of
federal revenue for the next three [3] years to pay for this 80 billion Naira
debt by all Lagos residents. This transaction must count as the worst fraud
ever in Yoruba history since Nigeria became independent on October 1, 1960.

In fact, On May 21st, 2014, the Lagos State Commissioner for Finance, Ayodeji Gbeleyi,
confirmed that Lagos state debts, as at May 2014, stood at N435 billion -
including N275 billion in bonds - equivalent to 2.7 billion United States
dollars. Now, discounting monthly interest rates on the commercial portion of
this debt, the gross Lagos state government debt is now equal to all of the
expected federal revenue allocation to Lagos state in the next three and half
years, at $3.7 billion, without equivalent benefits on the ground to show for
it - dollar for dollar.

We are not deceived by flowers and other aesthetics Fashola claimed he has done.

anonimi: Do the following count as core BASIC constitutional responsibilities
- provision of TAP water despite annual budget of almost N20 billion.
- adequate number and appropriately staffed & equipped PUBLIC schools for all children.
- well maintained FEEDER/INNER roads.
- adequately staffed & equipped general hospitals & primary health care clinics.

anonimi: Elections are not & should not be about just being able to TALK, which Fashola is very good at.
It should be about performance and being able to deliver on your core BASIC constitutional RESPONSIBILITIES. Alhaji Babatunde Raji Fashola has been a COLOSSAL FAILURE on this very important score.
DECEPTION can only take a man so far.

LMAyedun: Bola Ahmed Tinubu - APC National Leader.

Bola Tinubu became the governor of Lagos state in 1999 and vacated the seat after 8years. The former governor and APC national Leader was first charged in 2007. He was accused of operating 10 different foreign bank accounts while in office as Governor.

The foreign bank accounts allegedly operated by Tinubu as contained in the charge sheet are as follows:

First Heritage Bank, Country Club Hills, Illinois, USA with Account Number 263226700.

•Citibank NA New York, USA operated in the name of Bola Tinubu and Compass Finance and Investment Company Ltd with Account Nos- 39483134, 39483396 and 4650279566.



•Citibank Internati-onal New York. Account No. 52050-89451952 and 52050-89451953.


•HSBC, 177 Great Portland Street London WIW 6QJ. Account Number 71253670 SORT Code 40-03-15.


•HSBC, 177 Great Portland Street London WIW 6QJ with account name as Bola Oluremi Tinubu.

EMERITUS1: please can fash(ole) look into the ikorodu road they are reconstructing. despite the tax we paid if that is what lasg can offer then that is bullshit. they promised us a dual 8 lane road with 2 lanes for brt, but with the road nearing 80% completion, that road can barely accomodate 2 vehicles adjacent each other, despite that they still intend planting flowers on the road. this project wont be sustainable for the next 5years.
