macjive01:
@ekt_bear, in wat way do u relate Lagos state with other states?
No other state has financial potentials of Lagos
No other state has investment potentials of Lagos
No other state taxes their people.
No other state has the magnitude of laid down infrastructural investments as Lagos (all thanks to being formal capital territory)

@Egbe nak, it shdnt b wat other marginally poor states or infrastructural devoid states has done but WAT HAS FASHOLA done in four years?
Mmmm. . . Cleared people n kiosk from oshodi road side ?
Abi Na one, one story old people's home he built?
I forgot he repainted some secondary school.
I that it?

Rivers n Enugu states has built totally new massive, over 2000 housing schemes with, ESP Enugu, marginal resources.
Building totally new amusement and shopping malls.
Providing good roads, laying massive stretches of asphalt, marking and providing road traffic, pedestrian walk-ways, greatly beautifing their cities.

Yes, a number of spanking new malls has sprang up in Lagos but is wasn't from the government. There re all private.

The question is what is he doi g with all the internally generated revenue, all the massive federal allocation, all the hefty taxes on on residents ?
since he is taxing us, we re strongly, n rightfully demanding wat he is doing with our money since we are now meant to believe the FED n internally generated revenue is not our Buiz.
fashola is trying to be honest, rivers and enugu is a 10th of lagos population

and people keep flooding in everyday to lagos, now how do u expect him to cope with that

lagos state is about 20 million (nigerians smallest state)

c'mon

[quote author=emeka_gh link=topic=693248.msg8541935#msg8541935 date=1308390487]Aboki alj_harem,

I will really appreciate if you concentrate your effort on how various governors in the north are working with the FG to curb illiteracy, ignorance and poverty in the Northern enclave.

Your fixation with Igbo/Yoruba unity (or lack of it) is very infantile and portrays you as very insecure, and a possible sufferer or inferiority complex.
Contrary to your wish, one day, and very soon - perharps - in 2015, the Igbos will work with Yoruba and Middle Belt (yes you heard me well Middle Belt) to move Nigeria (or Southern Nigeria if that's the option we are left with) forward.

So aboki, starting thinking of how to eradicate polio, and almajiri from the North. When your are done, try your effort on the developing crack between the NE and NW, last time I check, NE is already complaining of the domination by NW. That is the new frontier. And forget the Middle belt, they have sussed out the way of the core North, and are not ready to be used as willing pawns in the Norths power games. Tiv, Igalas, Idomas, etc are not northerners - they share more in common with the south.

If Nigeria were to split today into North and South, dont be surprised that they will pitch their tents with the South.

Aboki, you frequent attempts to continually sow discord between SS/SE and SW is very much noted. Well done my friend alj_harem , the chameleon.
Now that the glove is off, what is your next play?[/quote]guy this man is a SE leader and he is clearly happy that the SW lost out, a i lying

Politics › Yoruba Leaders Didn’t Speak For Us- Yoruba People Femi Adesina by aljharem3(op): 2:37am On Jun 18, 2011
You may call this a disclaimer, but the South-west leaders who spoke against the election of Hon Aminu Waziri Tambuwal as Speaker of the House of Representatives last week, didn’t speak for me. But they are Yoruba leaders, and they spoke for that ethnic nationality, some people may say. Yes, they are leaders, men of timber and calibre in their own rights. And I am Yoruba too, thoroughbred, but then, they didn’t speak for me. I differ from the position they held.

Oh, he’s about to insult Yoruba leaders, he’s an impudent young man, maybe his roots can even be traced to the North, some other people would say. Not so. Disagreeing with a position is not tantamount to insult. You can interrogate the submission of your elders as a properly brought up Yoruba man, you can put it in perspective, it does not mean you’re insulting them. So, here we go.

Hon Mulikat Adeola-Akande, from the South-west had been anointed to occupy the position of Speaker by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in consonance with the party’s resurrected zoning formula. But when the coronation was to hold Monday last week, Hon Aminu Waziri Tambuwal from Sokoto State, in North-west, accepted nomination to also run for same post. After voting, he scored 252 votes to Adeola-Akande’s 90, thus upsetting the zoning applecart.

For most part of last week, some Yoruba leaders screamed blue murder, saying their region had been duped, swindled and fleeced. Whether they belonged to PDP or not, they lamented what happened at the lower chamber of the National Assembly as the short-changing of their region. Chief Reuben Fasoranti, leader of Afenifere, the pan-Yoruba socio-cultural group, said Dimeji Bankole, the immediate past speaker, “should have been replaced with somebody from the South-west to retain a balance so that we can have the fair share.”


Alhaji Lateef Jakande, Second Republic governor of Lagos State, said the Yoruba nation must go back to the drawing board and re-strategize, “if it is to be reckoned with in the Nigeria project.” Chief Ayo Adebanjo, octogenarian and notable Awoist, submitted: “What type of politics are they playing? When the PDP said they were giving the speakership to the South-west, it was a bad decision for the ACN to have supported a northerner.” Former presidential candidate, Olu Falae? “It is a very strange and unacceptable development… I think it is unwise and not sustainable,” he said.

Many other Yoruba leaders expressed umbrage, but I think the prize for the tomfoolery goes to the trio of Shaibu Oyedokun, Tunde Adeniran, and Oyewole Fashawe, all PDP chieftains, who said in a statement: “With the outcome of the House of Representatives election, the mood in the South-west has been dark, subdued, bitter, volatile and very sober. We are almost in despair and we are a people that feel betrayed and cast aside.”

True? False. Very, very false. They claimed the mood was dark, subdued, bitter, volatile and very sober. I’m Yoruba, and live in the South-west. All through last week, I was in a gay, convivial mood because of what had happened at the House of Representatives on Monday. In fact, I was in a rambunctious mood, boisterous, bouncy and rollicking. So where did the leaders find the “subdued, bitter, volatile and sober mood?” Must be elsewhere. They said the Yoruba people feel “betrayed and cast aside.” Really? Not so. I’m Yoruba (t’okan t’okan, full blooded) and rather than feel betrayed and cast aside, I was full of thanksgiving to God who without delay has begun to recompense those who played duplicitous roles in our national lives some few months past.

When leaders of the PDP were playing Russian roulette with the zoning policy of their party in the build-up to general elections, Yoruba leaders who were non-PDP behaved like the ostrich, burying its head in the sand. Instead of admonishing the double-dealers to stand by verity and integrity, they maintained studied silence, and the North was wangled out of the power game. Remember, Olusegun Obasanjo could not have spent two terms of eight years in office, if the North had not voted for him. In fact, when his own people forsook him in the South-west, the North took Obasanjo up, and rallied behind him. But how did the South-west repay the North some years later? You saw it in April. So, who should feel “betrayed and cast aside?” Not the South-west, definitely.

In Yorubaland, we are taught from infancy never to appropriate what does not belong to us. So, how could the region have ever accepted and rationalized the zoning of the Speaker position to it, with just five PDP lawmakers in the House of Representatives? Does it not run contrary to every principle of fairness and justice? If South-west had got the speakership, it would have been like obtaining under false pretence, just like the Amalekite who wanted false glory in the Holy Bible, claiming before David that he was the one who slew Saul, when he was not. Well, we know what happened to that impostor.

Rather than pillory and excoriate the lawmakers who voted Tambuwal into office, particularly those of the ACN, I expected the Yoruba leaders to celebrate and praise them for behaving honourably. When Goodluck Jonathan was to run for president, the PDP said he could do so, that there was no zoning, only for the party to make a shameful volte-face after the presidential election. As lawyers would say, you cannot approbate and reprobate at the same time. If there was no zoning at the time of the general elections, there can’t be zoning now. As far as PDP is concerned, zoning is dead and buried. Final. So, the lawmakers from the other parties who helped in voting Tambuwal merely drove the nail much deeper into the zoning coffin. Rest in peace, or if you like, in pieces, Mr Zoning.

See a form of poetic justice that is now emerging, rather unwittingly in the country. In a classic case of politics of vendetta, the South ganged up to ensure that power does not return to the North in the April polls. But did the South live happily ever after? No. See the current power configuration. President, South-south. Vice President, North-west, Senate President, North-central, Speaker, North-west, Chief Justice of the Federation, North-central. Numbers 2, 3, 4 and 5 in the protocol order are now from the North. Add the Inspector General of Police to it, and many other positions. All northerners. Is there equity in such? No. But can anybody do anything about it? No. Why? Because zoning is dead. And may it remain ever so.

Politics › Igbo Have Sense Of Belonging Under Jonathan As Sw Loses Out –ebigwei by aljharem3(op): 2:13am On Jun 18, 2011
President-General of Aka-Ikenga Sylvan Ebigwei, believes that there is hope for the Igbo in view of recent political developments in the country. He said that much in this interview with Asst. Politics Editor, Daniel Kanu.
What is your assessment of the April elections?
For me it was a commendable exercise. My happiness is that President Goodluck Jonathan promised Nigerians without mincing words that he was going to leave a legacy of credible election. He also said that he was going to use himself as a sacrificial lamb for that. Having promised Nigerians and the whole world a fair and credible election he went on to appoint a Nigerian not much known in the political arena or in the area of conducting an election but a university professor, an activist who is not from his geo-graphical zone and asked him to pilot the electoral process. Prof. Attahiru Jega, Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) did his best with the members of his team. Today, I can comfortably say and affirm that this is the best election, most credible, most authentic, free and fair, which we have witnessed in recent memory in this country. I have been through the process of election before, where election results were known on Thursday before the election held on Saturday. I have witnessed ballot snatching, falsification of results and various forms of electoral malpractices. Even though this election was successful, well organised, well managed and well delivered there was still a high-level general apathy because less than 60 per cent of the population actually came out to cast votes but what has happened is a step in the right direction. The beauty of democracy is that it is self-correcting and self-cleansing. I believe that the next election will also be an improvement upon this one. Jega deserves kudos just as President Jonathan deserves commendation.
Jonathan will soon appoint cabinet members, what will he be looking out for as criteria?
Yes, the president by now, must be under severe pressure. If you put yourself in his shoes there are pressures from all corners of the country. He should try and satisfy all those that supported him because of tomorrow. There is a political tribe from where he emanated, good or bad, he must allocate certain positions to massage his political interest. But while massaging that political interest he must get credible people, good technocrats, people who are morally obligated and patriotic enough to deliver the goods to this country. He has to look at the geo-graphical entity of this country and give good consideration. There are also people who are very good to him, those that he can trust. It is said that a crowd is never a company, he must look within himself, know his close associates who are technocrats and who can deliver and involve them in his administration. He should look at the many social groups, clubs, and interest groups and get them represented in his cabinet. Also, from the business class he has to satisfy and of course not to forget the women of Nigeria. But in all the appointment he must not sacrifice credible people or merit. We know it is impossible to satisfy everybody but Nigerians want programmes, projects that will positively affect their lives.
Do you agree that the Igbo are still marginalised?
Well, those crying that Ndigbo is marginalised are living in the past. For example, in Aka-Ikenga and also in Ohanaeze-Ndigbo we are no longer lamenting, rather we are taking the bull by the horn. We are marching towards the road an average Nigerian is marching towards. You do not sit down in your home and people will bring food to give you. The days of the manna falling from heaven are gone and you have to feed yourself. Looking at the political equation today in Nigeria for the first time, Ndigbo is having a sense of belonging especially during the Yar’Adua/Jonathan and Jonathan/Sambo administration. For example, today after the election, the South West is politically matured but in the protocol of today’s Nigeria it is not there. Some areas in the North are nowhere but look at the South East today. They have second in command in the Senate, second in command in the House of Representatives, Secretary to the Government of Federation, the Army, the Immigration, name them all under the control of Ndigbo. Has it ever been like this since after the civil war? We should be thankful to God because from here we will go higher. The problem is that of political Oliver Twist, the more you give the more they will continue to ask for more. Gradually we are going in and through merit. Nobody sits down and gives it to you, it’s like an animal kingdom where the stronger animal tend to devour the rest. The truth is that Ndigbo is making great progress. Although some people still go on to carry campaign of calumny against Ohanaeze-Ndigbo leadership and that of Aka-Ikenga but the truth is that our leadership is focused and poised to get enough of the share for Ndigbo. That is our resolution and we will not compromise Igbo interest. We now have sense of belonging in national politics. Ndigbo is not the only zone in Nigeria, there are others too, you take some and leave some for others while still planning for the future.
Are we saying that Ndigbo today is no longer marginalised?
The question arises as to who is marginalising whom? To me, nobody will set out to marginalise Ndigbo. I will say that the problem of Ndigbo is within Ndigbo. In the first place, you have to be united. No matter how you quarrel in your backyard when you leave your backyard you become one. The northerners are doing that, the South West is doing that but Ndigbo will battle their brothers, their own from the backyard to the national stage. In doing that, don’t forget this is politics and others see that you are quarrelling with your brother they will penetrate and divide you because they know you are not united. If you are united nobody will be able to break your ranks once a position is taken. Ndigbo is better united now and that was why we were able to deliver our vote to President Jonathan.
The last election saw the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) sweeping the entire South West, is there any lessons?
The lesson is very simple and it is that the South West has gone back to what used to be in their brand of politics, which I see as ethnic politics. I do not think ethnic politics pays now given the nature of our country and playing that sectional card has now brought South West politically low in terms of protocol. In the scheme of things aside from former President Olusegun Obasanjo being the Board of Trustee chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), which he will relinquish very soon the South West is no longer in the first five. To me, it is like it has lost in trying to say to your tents oh Israel. Nigeria is practicing a federation but not yet a true federation. If it were to be a country where we are practicing true federalism, playing this type of ethnic card will be beneficial but when everything is located at the centre and you want to get yourself out of the centre then you may be hurting yourself. So personally I do not support such politics now because of the type of federation we have. If you are not at the centre no one tends to remember you.
But don’t you think it will be better for Nigerians to advocate for true federalism rather than this quasi- federal structure?
Exactly. If Jonathan’s administration can continue to listen to Nigerians and the call for National Sovereign Conference (SNC) it will be better for all of us. For now, it appears we are sitting on a keg of gunpowder and it may explode if we are not careful, as nobody knows what is going to happen. You saw what happened during the last election. The present administration should have the courage to convene a conference of ethnic nationalities so that Nigerians can decide how they should be governed. What is happening now cannot bring peace and unity to this country. What we are looking at now is a patched up unity. If President Jonathan completes his tenure the unity we are experiencing today in Nigeria may not continue to exist. Jonathan epitomises the unity and peace Nigeria is enjoying today, if he is out when his tenure expires nobody can predict what is going to happen, therefore this is the time for us to talk about this knotty issue relating to how we are going to relate to one another. When you look at how things are being shared in this country it is to the advantage of certain group and to the gross disadvantage for others. For example, from the last census you will know that Lagos has the highest population in Nigeria today, look at the voting pattern, look at the number of registered voters but the same Lagos has less than 25 local governments, look at Kano State, we have almost every street as a local government and up to 40 LGA’s. Look at the South East, it is the only zone in the country today with only five states and this also translates to representation in the National Assembly. So, if we want to balance this equation in the country today there is the need to talk on the nature of our existence. There is a lot of falsehood and injustice in terms of allocation and all that. So a conference must be called to address this imbalance that abound.
What do you really see as the problem with Nigeria?
We have multitude of problems within Nigeria among them is ethnicity, tribal affinity to the detriment of nationalism. This is one of the biggest problems that we seem to have that is tearing this country apart. If we can address that issue the better for us. Another problem of Nigeria is corruption. People get to office not because they want to serve but because they want to use that office for their selfish aggrandisement. You know tribalism engenders lack of patriotism and this breed’s corruption. Also we need to strengthen the judiciary and the judicial process and allow the judges to do what is expected of them. They must visit crime with severe punishment as a deterrent to people that are in the business of stealing public funds. There is also the problem of depending solely on oil, if we can diversify our resources and accommodate other areas of wealth creation the better we will become.

Business › Enugu To Build Coal-based Power Plant by aljharem3(op): 12:36am On Jun 18, 2011
By Tony Edike
ENUGU— THE Enugu State governmenthas signed a Memorandum of Understanding(MoU) with an Indian Power Company, ESSAR Group for the construction of a Coal Power Plant capable of producing 600 Megawatts (MW) of power.

Governor Sullivan Chime who signed the document in Abuja on behalf of the state Government said the MOU was the climax of extensive research, consultations and negotiations between the state government and ESSAR Group adding that the project will give birth to a new dispensation of advancement in the state.

He disclosed that the plant to be sited in Enuguwould use coal sourced from mines in the state to generate power, stressing that it would help in no small measure to alleviate the sufferings of the people occasioned by poor power supply.

The governor further expressed confidence that ESSAR Groupwas well-equipped to perform its obligations under the MOU, adding that the partnership between the company and the state government was bound to yield the expected returnsfor both parties.

Responding, the leader of the ESSAR Group delegation, Mr. Ranjit Matharoo commended the state government for its vision in accepting the proposal to establish the plant saying that it would further encourage private foreign investment in the state.

Matharoo who is the Vice President (Business Development) of ESSAR Group assured the Governor that the company had requisite experience in the development and operation of coal based power plants,adding that it had been running similar operations in many other countries.

He observed that the state stood to reap tremendously from the surge in business and commercial activities that significant improvement in power supply was bound to trigger, stressing that the abundant supply of coal available in the state would ensure that the plant’s continued operation for many years.

Politics › Nigerian Jailed For Stealing Fake 100 Pounds. This People Have Gone Internationa by aljharem3(op): 12:30am On Jun 18, 2011
London – Ifamuyiwa Callisto , 52, a Nigerian resident in the United Kingdom, was on Thursday  sentenced to six months imprisonment for stealing a fake 100 pounds note.

The trial Judge, Daphne Wickham, in her judgement, sentenced Callisto to three months on each of the two counts of theft after he pleaded guilty.

Mr Tom Cockroft, the defence lawyer, said the father of three had resorted to crime owing to financial difficulties.

The sentence would run separately, with a further three month term running concurrently.

According to a local newspaper, an undercover operation was launched by the City of London detectives after lawyers complained that mobile phones, cash and wigs were missing from the robbing room in the court.

It stated that they rigged up cameras and left 100 pounds of photocopied dummy bank notes in a wallet as bait.

Callisto, an old Bailey security guard, was caught stealing the fake notes.

“They  watched as Callisto entered the changing room for lawyers and rifled through lockers and suit jackets and took the fake cash,’’ it stated.

It also stated that when Callisto was arrested, he confessed and said “it was easy pickings’’.

It also stated that 1,900 pounds worth of fountain pens belonging to Mr Michael Wolkind, the Queen’s Counsel, was also found in his house during a search. (NAN)

In lots of places it is handled by private contractors. . . for example, there is this famous company called Waste Management (dunno if you heard of them) that handles a lot of trash collection in the US.

But I guess the point you raise is more subtle. . . whether people should negotiate (and pay) to have their trash handled individually or whether the government should just provide it for everyone (and pay for it by raising taxes.) In other words, is it a private or public good. I guess you are right, it should be available for free to everyone.[/quote]thanks dapo

Your assumption about Lagos will only be true if the ground can never be saturated. Even on a sandy beach, there will be a point in time when the water or rain on the sand will saturate (stop percolating) the ground, even if only momentarily; otherwise, according to your logic, Bar Beach or any other beach should never overflow.

Again, even with the best drainage system in the world, if the ground is saturated and the rate of rain fall is very high, you will have flooding. Water can only move so fast and if it collects in a certain saturated area, it will be there for a while even if it has a place to go (downhill).

[quote author=ekt_bear link=topic=692914.msg8538829#msg8538829 date=1308335163]Very silly response.

Is it the government's job to provide refuse pickup? Surely there is a private firm you can pay to pick up your trash even if the government doesn't provide it.[/quote]why should private firms do it, when the state government can do

that is how it is done all over the world

Have you asked yourself why the drainages are used as garbage dump? Maybe if the govt provided a good refuse pick up system, people would be less inclined to put their trash in the drainages.  undecided
now someone is talking sense

Eko Ile:
Look at this olodo saying well said. Was I not saying the same thing? Like I said, you are even worse that a freeking troll, your clownish and clueless behavior is really nauseating.
kq:
Guys(Eko Ile, alj harem) please lets make this discussion as interesting and intellctual as possible lets stop all this sentimental insults we are hurling at ourselves. Whether the government is doing anything or not we are all agreed that Lagos is prone to flooding not just because of drainage but because of the states topography and environment. Like it was mentioned it is not an easy feat even in engineering terms to solve the problem, because of the nature of the terrain coupled with the heavy rainfall, Lagos will likely still witness flooding even with all the engineering designs in place. Instead of bashing or praising the government lets not forget that development is a continuous process and does not have a stopping point. because as you are solving one problem another problem rears its ugly head. "there is chaos in order and order in chaos"
@gare3th ekt_bear and satani22 thank you for your discussions so far.

you are a living testimony of everything wrong with igbo, best accept the truth
