Face you brown roof republic of ritual cannibalism.here we decide what happens in our land.afonja, keep waiting for sultan of sokoto to sight the moon for you blind Yoruba.no election in biafra land.

Thanks for your kind words sir. It was expected.

They are practising what they accuse the Nigerian state of doing.

You believe in freedom yet disrupt those who chose to gather together and participate in the upcoming election.

This their Biafra is going to be one hell for the opposing voices or minorities if ever achieved.

Which status did he lose? He has even gained more by standing up to the House excesses.

Fashola commands more respect than most of those Reps and Senators.

I really want to see him accept the summon given to him by the House of Reps.

And I know the Acting President has got BRF's back too.

Otiwaikuku:
Who built the schools,check the history of the schools,Sir Peter Obi returned the schools to its original owners for efficient management. Peter Obi still remains the best governor Anambta State have had.We know what Barr Chinwoke Mbadinauju did in the state.Pastor Mbadinauju was a disaster in Anambra State.Let us learn to appriciate good things and works.

Well I left Anambra just before Obiano came in and Obi did his best though while in office but I dont know if I should agree with you that Obi is still the best governor Anambra has ever had because I've been seeing pics of good projects executed by Obiano.

As for Mbadinuju, is that man still alive? That man was a terrible governor and good thing he didn't further his political career afterwards like T.A Orji

I almost forgot Ngige. I will rate him above Obi in terms of road infrastructure.

true2home:
hello, how did Eko Atlantic fair off with flooding experienced in the Island?

The great wall of Lagos protects the EAC.

Catholics dominated schools during his reign to the extent that they invited some sisters to come and co-manage the affairs of our school with the principal. That was CMF

Abeggi! This is an just an opportunity for those who were against the EAC from the start to spew rubbish.

Year in year out, so called experts would write articles on how EAC is causing flooding in Lagos.

Watch out and see this same repeated report released next year when it floods again in Lagos.

EAC has come to stay. It's left for LASG to find a lasting solution to the flood issues.

And someone please tell Ambode to concentrate more on the Light rail project than his ambitious 4th MB biko!

What do we still need aids for in this country? As rich as we are! If Yari had used the money he stole from Paris refund to cater for the IDPs in his region, it could have been better.

franfumu:
Mr minister of darkness, Nigerians have already judged you..remember your statement..a serious government will fix power within 6 months....How much did this guy use for borehole, website and pedestrian bridge again? And youths, pls stop defending these politicians, they are all thieves. .Fashola, Goje etc.

Keep quiet there. A minister is making efforts to bring the country out of recession and all you can mention is fix power within 6 months.

It's very obvious you have no iota of what is on ground. Please go read up on the initiatives of Fashola in boosting power supply and stop spreading your ignorance on cyber space.

aolawale025:
Am with NASS on this. #20b as petty cash is a no no.

You can see that the NASS has achieved their aim by successfully misleading you

The 20billion is not an actual cash. In fact, budget is not a cash. You need to go read up some more on how budget works and not allow this half baked legislooters to deceive you.

Do this folks realise Fashola is in charge of 3 ministries and the contingency I believe is for his 3 ministries.

Do they realise that the 20billion voted for this is not an actual cash and may end up not being used at all if the need doesnt arise?

They are now more concerned about talking about the 20 billion naira vote without mentioning the other capital projects they reduced for borehole, town hall projects.

What then is the need for state and local government if the FG includes in its budget plans for boreholes and town halls in rural communities?

I really want Fashola to go engage the Reps and school them.

Wow 10 years ago

What a sensational headline

I fear Nigerian journalists ooo!

They can lit a house on fire with their writeups.

Did I just see a _porn picture on the front page?

Kyase:
lol he should arrest all

Then he's going to create so much enemies for himself. My fear is that he might be too peaceful or soft to a fault. And that's what Nigerians don't need now.

I remember when GEJ said he can't go after Boko Haram members because they are our brothers. Look at what BH end up doing to his government. It's because GEJ was too nice and wanted to appease everyone and maintain peace.

PDJT:
Lack of Equity, Justice and Fairness leads to Unrest, Violence and even War.

Agreed, but we can't use the Arewa youths as the scapegoats here for very obvious reasons

Please next time OP try and pass your grievances without name calling.

Ambode isn't the one who designed the bridge. He contracted the bridge out to professionals (Engineers) who after taken a study of the area and it's traffic issues came up with a solution for the Ajah bridge and other adjoining roads. This had inputs from the contractor Hi-tech to the Ministry of works in Lagos and other consultants.

If their design is wrong, all you have to do is present your case to the governor or government of Lagos using any social medium and it'll be looked into if it reaches the right quarters.

We are still waiting for the pictures. The last time I passed Ajah, the bridge was still under construction.

three:
You sound like a better ACTING PRESIDENT

Lol. Let's just embrace peace now. There is so much tension in the land now that a wrong move could spark a chain of violent reaction that could snowball into what the FG may not be able to handle effectively again.

I'm glad it's the Acting President going about doing the meetings. With Buhari, it would have been force and show of military strength

aolawale025:
So are you saying we should throw Equity, Justice and Fairness out the window because we want to be seen as avoiding "serious political consequence"

Of course sir. Anything that could bring about violence or unrest should be avoided. The FG shouldn't exhaust the options of dialogue. One region is just waiting for an unrest to begin to capitalise on it. The FG should just avoid being provoked.

As it is now, no one would mention Equity, Justice and Fairness if his tribe is at the receiving end. He'll point out to the other tribe.

Kyase:
what about ipob youths that started the whole thing

Lol I don't wish to be in Osinbajo's shoes now.

If he arrests IPOB youths, Easterners would react. If he arrest Arewa youths, some Northerners can become violent

*sigh*

jpphilips:
Some actions have very serious political consequence especially when the VP's boss is a northerner, a smart man takes cognisance of consequences a rare skill missing in the IPOB youth league.

I thought about that too. They'll turn it on the head of the Acting President that he is coming for Northern youths.

Unfortunately, right now in Nigeria, any action or inaction taken would be viewed from either a religious, tribal or political angle.

I guess the best thing for the Acting President to do now is to hold meetings.

I think the presidency should start by arresting those northern youths who gave the quit order. They are not faceless. When that is done, that would send a strong signal to others to mind their utterances.

Yes, I agree that in Yoruba land, the youths prostrate to their elders when greeting. But I haven't seen anywhere that after the greeting, the youth remains on the floor kneeling or prostrating to talk to the elder except under punishment.

So, those guys in the picture kneeling before Kanu, are they under punishment or is there no seat around for them or can't they squat/ sit on the floor?

Please, dont insalt me biko, because I am very emotional

https://guardian.ng/news/activists-lagos-government-disagree-over-abiolas-fawehinmis-statues/

Civil society groups have condemned alleged plans by the Lagos State Government to replace the statues of the late Moshood Abiola and civil rights campaigner, the late Gani Fawehinmi at Ojota.

This is coming on the heels the 24th anniversary of June 12 being celebrated today.

The Lagos State government had brought down Abiola and Fawehinmi’s statues for the purported construction of new structures at Abiola Gardens and Freedom Park in Ojota.

But civil rights group, expressed concerns over the development that the statues may be replaced with other those of other individuals and have vowed to challenge the state government on the issue.

However, a top official of the Lagos State Government told The Guardian yesterday that the removal of the statues was in line with the beautification policy of government as it is being witnessed in other parts of the state.

Some of the groups also alleged that the Lagos Government was planning to replace the statues, particularly that of late Fawehinmi’s with that of the National Leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Convener of Save Lagos Group, Adeniyi Sulaiman who spoke on behalf of the groups, said information at his disposal suggested that the state government was planning to replace Fawahinmi’s statue with that of Tinubu.

Sulaiman stated however, that several rights groups across the country have been mobilised to protest attempts by the government to rubbish the legacies of the late human rights crusader.

He listed those already mobilised to include the Centre for Human Rights and Social Justice (CHRSJ), African Masses Voices for Survival (AMVS), the Veteran Group for Operation Clean Crusade (VGOCC), The Conscience Mainstream (TCS) and the Gani Fawehinmi Memorial Foundation (GAFAMOG), among others.

It said the park, which the state government plans to remove, was symbolic to civil rights activism in the country, saying the group will resist the plans with all the forces it can muster.

Let's see how this unfolds. And let me believe LASG is not so _silly to erect Tinubu's statue please!

Op please do better justice to this thread. Anyway Fashola is still the boss

Akpeyi is a basssssssttttttaaaaaarrrrddddd

fuckingAyaya:
no he was pecked in the eyes

By a wood pecker?

Was he shot in the eye Ni?

If you want the LASG to do a good job in that area, please get ready for demolition. See how close the stalls are to the road. Where would the drainage and street lights be?

hopefulLandlord:
of course this is what they call fallacy of circular reasoning, you're using the bible to confirm the Bible

that's like assuming harry potter is real because the book said so and therefore whatever is written there is valid

pure nonsense

I wanted to know what fallacy of circular reasoning meant but I got more than expected in the example below

…Mulls partnership on trade, capacity building, manufacturing, others

…To sign MOU in Johannesburg by September

Lagos State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode on Wednesday said that the State and the Province of Gauteng in South Africa both possess the capacity to drive the desired industrial and economic growth in the African continent.

Governor Ambode, who addressed Government House Correspondents shortly after a meeting with the Premier of the Province of Gauteng, Mr. David Makhura on a possible partnership on advancing trade and industrialization at the Lagos House in Ikeja, described both city-States as the economic powerhouse of both Nigeria and South Africa.

The Governor, who disclosed plans to enter into a bi-lateral relationship with the Province of Gauteng, aimed at boosting the economic capacities of not just Nigeria and South Africa, but the continent of Africa, said it would be a win-win situation that would grow the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) that would be beneficial to the citizen of both countries.

Disclosing that a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) would be signed in Johannesburg, South-Africa by September 2017, Governor Ambode said the benefits of the partnership on the long run could not be over-emphasised.

He said, “The essence of this relationship is that between the Province of Gauteng and the State of Lagos, we actually have the powerhouse of commerce and the economy of the two countries so you can imagine a relationship that strives to bring that economic comparative advantage bloc force into a synergy. So, that’s where our focus is; the powerhouse in South Africa and the powerhouse in Nigeria coming together to now do something instructive and also constructive to the benefit of their own people. That’s the framework with which that MOU will be driven.

“We see this that it would not only increase the GDP as we start to operate together. It would also increase the benefit that would be derived by all the people that are confined in those communities. So, it’s all about commerce, it’s all about economy, things that relate to good governance, we are going to exchange human capacity, things that make us to learn from each other and also improve on the things that are challenging and common to both of us.”

Also speaking, the Premier of Gauteng, Mr. David Makhura who expressed optimism that the partnership would enhance the industrial capacity of Nigeria and South Africa, said that it was high time for both Lagos and Gauteng Province to rise to the challenge and utilise their strengths for the benefit of the continent.

“One of the important areas of the economy that we would focus is mainly manufacturing. Africa has to manufacture goods for Africans and we have rich natural resources in our continent, both in South Africa and Nigeria, the State of Lagos and the Province of Gauteng would like to build on our experiences and how we can enhance industrial capacity including building advanced manufacturing capabilities of our continent,” Makhura said.

Alluding to the fact that the African continent would be left behind if Nigeria and South Africa fail to step forward and drive industrial revolution, Makhura said that the responsibility was for Lagos State and the Province of Gauteng to lead from the front.

“We believe very strongly that Lagos State has got some industrial capacity that we can bring our business people together to check up that capacity. There is lot of innovation happening, the ICT industry, the creative industry, here in Nigeria and particularly in Lagos has got youths, professional services and financial business capacities and the economies are more or less compatible.

“So what the State of Lagos has in terms of sectors of the economy, we think if there is better synergy, better coordination, we can also look at how the two governments can support more inclusive growth,” he said.

Also speaking, the Special Adviser to Governor Ambode on Overseas Affairs and Investment, Professor Ademola Abass, said the partnership would look into the area of capacity building and possibly to exchange ideas and knowledge transfer between the two countries.

“In terms of benefits, we must understand that it is high time the African countries began to show that they could actually do trading among themselves and it would be surprising to know that a lot of African countries do more trading with non African countries than they do with one another. So, this is going to showcase Africa and it is going to signal to the world that African countries can indeed trade among themselves and be able to improve the lot of their people,” Abass said.

I think Ambode should take the opportunity of Buhari's absence to disturb the acting president to grant the remaining approvals like handing over of the national stadium to LASG, national museum and theatre and some other FG infrastructure no longer maintained by the FG. I believe LASG are more than capable to maintain those edifices.
