theoctopus: [s]You know you are a nuisance in this forum. You actually think anyone takes you seriously. I dont have time for trolls like you. When Oshiomole actually apologizes, we will start from there. For now, he hasnt apologized. I pity you. That small salary you collect from Alausa is getting into your head. [/s]

Must you bore me with your gutter rant and village idiocy?

STFU if you can not articulate your views intelligently with meaningful thoughts...

theoctopus: People like you have made this worse for Oshiomole than it actually is. You are just adding fuel to the fire. You are giving people more strength to carry on this cause. Keep insulting people you hear. They will only continue to run this man down because he has messed up big time

This is a stup1d comment from him. He should have looked for the woman and apologized to her. He is a proud foool! Pride goeth before a fall. In fact, from yesterday, the simple thing most of you his supporters should have done is to simply join to condemn his actions and then ask people to forgive. But you guys kept denying it. You wallowed in denial up till this morning when he now made this statement. Now you want us to take you serious. His political career is dead.

What happens after apology? Understanding and moving on obviously, but with you people bugged down with your silly tribal and political madness, appology means nothing and this silliness should rage on non stop.


So, who is adding fuel really? Is it a must for you people not to ever make sense at all...?

Coolboi05: well in as much as I dnt support his action, bt 4 d resignation,huh?? In foreign countries,ppl lyk gej nt onli resign bt dey commit suicide honorably...

Foreign countries my foot!

I think he meant his village...

rexbuton: Many people attacking him have never been to benin city. During lucky igbinedion's regime, The state was dirty, corrupt, unruly and murderous. Igbinedion did not complete even one capital project on his own. Adams comes in, begins massive construction and rehabilitation of roads and structures. He constructed roads leading to those rural areas, even in the opposition held edo central.. When elections come What happens? These same edo central people massively vote pdp, just because they want their son to be governor.. All These development came at a cost... He banned roadside trading, illegal car parking, roadside touting and heavy taxation. The taxes are used to fund The constructions, since lucky and his pdp thugs left The state in penury. The people began to complain about tax, even When they could see development like street lights, double traffic lights on every major road, and benin has one of The largest number of roads and adjoining streets in The country.. The beautification of ring road and The linking roads was being undone by The same people he was working for. Bus drivers would reverse on top of kerbs and destroy The potted flowers, these stupid hawkers would hawk their wares and throw The garbage into The newly constructed drains, I even had to confront a woman who was disposing corn cobs into The drains.. The governor finally outlawed road side trading and car parking... If You go to ringroad as I speak, you'd still see these hawkers selling rice and foodstuff just by The road, is this right? Would You have prefered that The woman be locked up? These are The same people that Would come out tomorrow and vote pdp, just because of tribal issues.. Being a widow doesn't permit You to break laws. Oshiomhole also has his shortcomings, his traffic police have become more of a nuisance than The opposition party, he should put a leash on those goons. The man has tried, he also solved The perennial flooding by constructing a central water channel ' storm water project'... Did lucky do all these ? So When I see people come here to abuse a Good man, It hurts me.. Because we voted for him, we protested and rioted for him, we marched under The sun to attend tribunal sittings, some of us even died in The struggle! When I was still in The country, we saw his works and appreciated them, please do same. For those who do not know, oshiomhole is a widower ! ! Long live nigeria

Well said....

Swaggot00: what is this one sayin?

Going by the highlighted, you have reading and comprehension issues...

FreeGlobe: in foreign countries oshiomole would have resigned over this crude and barbaric statement. we reject this apology. oshiomole must invite her to the govt house or visit her or make a statement of apology. Its not as if he has programs for widows.

You know you are better off slitting your wrist if his apology troubles your pathetic existence beyond repair..

This is one of the many attributes of a great and stand up leader.

bloggernaija: Widow or no widow.
The instructions/rules/ law was simple enough.
Why can't Nigerians obey simple instructions?
Why do we behave like animal?

From overloaded lorries,
To drunk unlicensed driver,
To roadside traders encroaching on the highway ,
Siren blaring bigman aka stupid politicians.

The next minute ,they will start complaining about bad government disregarding the fact that the government is mirroring our own personal bad behaviour.

Poverty is not an excuse.
Neither should the law develop eyes because she is a WIDOW.

The government is doing the job it was elected to do and our
Uncivilised people are talking about MERCY .
Yes ,the language was bad
But he had to personally set an example.

MY TAKE IS THAT NIGERIANS ARE SO ISED TO LAWLESSNES THAT IT HAS BECOME THE BEW NORMAL.

NOW FOR THOSE WHO ARE IGNORANT OF THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE WESTERN REGION AND THE MIDWEST,
WIDOW OR NO WIDOW,
THIS WOMAN HAVE BEEN CHARGED TO COURT ,HEAVILY FINED AND HER GOODS SIEZED .
WHEN DID IT BECOME A CRIME TO ENFORCE THE LAW?

Very well said..


The crybabies, law breakers and slum lovers can cry as much as they want.... who cares? They all are backward, unruly, uncultured and anti social people.

lol @ villagers talking about the little and petty trades synonymous with village migrant in Lagos...

ilugunboy: Another m0ron....where exactly are these rats crawling out from this night?

I thought they crawl all over the place 24/7...lmao

McGibson: Finally, that's owned and manage by the federal and not state! So shut da furk up! I rep Anambra

Explains your ignorance and village mentality...


lmao

NewsINigeria: Lagos State governor, Babatunde Raji Fashola, has said that the two armoured cars bought at the cost of N255 million for the Minister of Aviation, Mrs. Stella Oduah, will purchase 51 patrol vehicles for the Nigerian Police.

The governor said this at the 7th annual Town Hall Meeting on Security, themed: ‘Sustaining Local Responding To Rising National Security Challenges,’ held at the Civic Centre, Victoria Island, Lagos.
“It is sad to know that the Federal Government that allocate three patrol vehicles for one state police command of 370, 000 police men, is unable to resolve how N255 million was used to purchase 2 saloon vehicles for one officer. It is a very grave irony.
“The cost of average vehicle needed to patrol the state is just N5 million. And with such fund, we will have put at least 51 patrol vehicles on the road, patrolling the streets of Lagos.”
“In spite of all this, they resist the idea of a state police. The money from the fund was in the last one year used to provide vehicles for the Nigerian Prison Service, National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, Special Anti-Robbery Squad, SARS, National Security and Civil Defense Corps, NSCDC and indeed the airport wing of the Nigerian police, is funded from this money. And it is the same aviation ministry that manage the airport that we had this very odious car scandal of N255 million.”
The governor noted that the upshot of central Government’s failure to confront security has continued for the past seven years.
“The residents of Lagos have borne the burden of that neglect, and there is no indication that anything will change soon, in spite of endless reform deliberation and proposals.”
On the crime rate in the state, Fashola said “Our crime data base now has record content of 92, 488 which helps us to keep track of all those who have been arrested, prosecuted, jailed or have any contact with the criminal justice system.”
He added that the state is preparing for a future of crime prevention, saying “it will be technologically driven, scientifically grounded and result assured.

What a grave travesty...

Not surprised to see the usual suspects with their usual emotions and sentiments getting the best of their village and slum mentality...

Then turn around and sell the same power infrastructures to their cronies for 10 kobo each in the name of privatization at the expense of poor Nigerians......


Oponuchukwu kwenu.... smh.

These cash and cary pastors sef. I bet oponuchukcwu put him up to this...

What's the military doing there? Is there job not to protect the country against external aggression.


Only in Jonathan oponuchukwu's Nigeria.

Ngokafor: It's noise like this that will make neutral citizens like me root for Goodluck in 2015...

...These APC supporters seems too daft to realise that campaign of calumny,bullying, intimidation and calling the President names will never work in their favour..infact i forsee a lot of sympathy votes for him in 2015...
....keep calling him names instead of bringing out concrete reasons why he shouldnt be voted in you hear??,,your wailings over Anambra election will be small compared to 2015..continue fooling yourselves all over the place.

negro please....lol

HNosegbe: So it took the killing of some primary school pupils to get the state government to do what was long overdue, right?

I hate reactive policies.

Since, you hate reactive policies, its safe to conclude that you prefar non reactive policies. Thank God we have a reactive government in Lagos state to react to our needs.

dayokanu: ^^ He probably has a PhD from the same place Patience Shepopotamus got hers from

Obviously competing with Shepo...


Funny enough, these incompetent do nothing isi ewu governors are somewhere parlaying over isi ewu and pami with bush meat...lmao

eaglechild: What a brainless thread
APPROVAL of a foot bridge earns a thread.
Eko oni ogbanje bleaters have come again.
After, we blame politicians for looting us dry, instead of blaming ourselves for singing senseless praises.

The ones awarding contracts for 5 pedestrian bridge, building and commissioning projects are the looters, but your tax and allocation collecting do nothing isi ewu governors are not the looters....


We know how it is with you bitter and angry villagers of course...

Boss13: ^^^^ you have said it all. I asked a close friend of mine - name 5 things you have benefited from Fashola's administration (and that's because he claimed that Fashola is better than other governors) - He could not. Same as me. Rather it is a reversal case, where we the residents of Lagos pay for public infrastructure and yet still provide for ourselves.

I cannot compare Fashola with other Governors. For christ sake, I don't reside in their states. It is where I reside in that I should be able to speak of.

For me Fashola has done nothing but to enrich himself and dance with media boys. He knows how to handle the media effectively.

I also have a forum with him today and guess what as usual, he would bamboos us with positive words and his woman leader would cajole her followers to sing praises. But I will not be deceived.

I guess I will update you guys about the forum later today.

Here we have a governor constructing 5 new pedestrian bridges like dozens he's built all over the state to better the lives of Lagosians and keep them away from danger and you still arrived at the ignorant illogical conclusion that Lagosians are not benefiting from his administration?

The pedestrian bridge is for who exactly? Lagosians or goats and cattles? Or for his elite friends because they park their luxury cars just to use pedestrian bridges?

Are the roads he's building have special elite lanes and not for Lagosians? The public schools he's building are there to educate other people and not Lagosians?

Are the Hospitals where they no longer use torchlight in the operating rooms because Fashola gave them uninterrupted power supply for Lagosians or people from Mars?

Who are going to be riding the Metro rail? Americans, elites or Indians? Are they not going to be Lagosians?

What about the thousands of graduates from the 17 skills and acquisition centers? Are they Lagosians or South Africans?...

Where is the sense and wisdom in your thoughtless post?

We all know we are not at the end of the tunnel, but to say Lagosians ar not benefiting from this administration sounds very ignorant and disingenuous...

Where is the sense and wisdom in your thoughtless post?


And please, stop the I'm a Lagosians thing because you are obviously not..

no section of the country can win the presidential election alone,” he noted.

Unfortunately, this is one concept and reality they do not understand. For now, they are happy with their local and tribal demagogues...

Talk about medicine after death. Awon oponu worthless and incompetent people...lmao...

atlwireles: We need more of this. Also, start putting really policy on the table.

Afi really policy naa... Y'all no go kill pesin I swear .


lmao..

Signed, sealed and delivered...... Full steam ahead


Sai APC

Sai Nigeria...

To the usual backward villagers, we appreciate your concerns as we celebrate another 5 solid public infrastructures to better our people and promote safety in our communities all at the same time while we feel sorry for your zero activities villages where not even bore holes gets built or commissioned.


Ndo, e go better....lmao

As usual, the ignorant dullards have nothing better to say, they are unable to articulate their views with sensible facts, all they have is the usual shut up shut up and vulgar rants..


Never fails...



Back to topic...


They paid 1 kobo for 10 kobo public power infrastructures, but not willing to engage the process with time and investments to bring their operations up to date for maximum efficiency and credible service delivery...

No surprise here anyway, handing critical infrastructures to opportunist, vultures and incompetent government cronies was dumb, corrupt and grossly irresponsible...

Lagos — Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State, has ordered the construction of five pedestrian bridges along Lagos Epe Expressway in the state.

This came a week after some pupils of Ikota Primary School, Ikota, along the busy road were killed by a truck.

Fashola disclosed this, yesterday, through his deputy, Adejoke Orelope Adefulire, at the ’2013 Be Road Friendly, BRF’ competition organised by the Lagos State School Traffic Safety Advocacy Programme, at Alausa, Ikeja, with the theme, ‘Promoting Child Safety through Media Jingles.’

The governor said: “The construction of the five pedestrian bridges for this axis has taken off, and relevant agencies have been mandated to ensure that the construction is completed.”

Fashola while speaking on the accident, said the driver of the vehicle which allegedly killed the students had been apprehended and would be made to face the full weight of the law.

According to him: “This will serve as a deterrent to other drivers in the state, to drive carefully and adhere to the traffic signs and symbols on the road.”

He appealed to officers of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, LASTMA, to ensure that students crossing where there were no pedestrian bridges were assisted.

Also, speaking at the 2013 Community Day Celebration with the theme, ‘Community Transformation through People’s Empowerment,’ Fashola noted that several challenges had been identified in various local government areas, urging the community dwellers to exercise patience as government would soon tackle such challenges.

He stressed that the success of the society and the state depended on the success of the communities, pointing out that each community is yearning for government attention according to their needs.
