Onosy: Advise to my christian Brothers and Sisters.....

We should learn to ignore certain things, and its not everything you hear that you respond to....Ofcourse nobody wants to respond to a mad man/Woman on the street, same goes here...

anybody that is a christian (Not just attending Church) will not come up here to criticize God's servant (because He/She knows the reward for that)...the Bible says we should not be unequally yoked with unbelievers.....

Permit me to share this little text with you and hope you will reflect on it.

A Tree Is Known by Its Fruit
15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

I Never Knew You
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

We need to CONSTANTLY check ourselves and those, who CLAIM to represent God to us on earth these days, that we are following to find out where they are leading us in COMPARISON to the word of Christ.

Good ECONOMIC initiative by Goodluck Jonathan's administration that is in line with his refurbishing the railways system rather than going to Canada to import de-commissioned scrap things.

There are two possibilities:

1. The first bridge was photo-shopped
2. The first bridge is in place that is NOT part of Lagos, the "Centre of Excellence" where the "best governor in the world" is in charge for the past six years.


sarcastic mode.

ba7man: Stop living in the past!!!...This is not 1960 or what not, this is not Jakande's era!!!

Things have changed since then. Population in Lagos has exploded, the urban sprawl is far larger, the social problems encountered are now immense, Slums are more and far larger, corruption is now a giant in the system, people are far more lawless, the decay of lagos has been on-going for up to 30years before he took over....Why won't he struggle??

Please, learn to be logical, if you had reasoned all these points above, you won't be saying some things u're saying.

Na wah for una eDefenders of the ACN scammers oh!
So the UK and USA as well as other developed countries have not changed since 1950s and 1980s for the BETTER despite experiencing the things you listed above above such as greater population (including socio-economic exiles & parasites from Lagos and other African places)
Why should our own change be for the WORSE after more than 14 years of Tinubu and his boy Fashola?

1999 - 2003 Tinubu
2003 - 2007 Tinubu
2007 - 2011 Fashola
2011 - 2013 Fashola

With even more money PER person than his GLORIOUS predecessors- Awolowo, Jakande and the only Lagosian military governor of Lagos, General Mobolaji Johnson (retd).
Why

You're smarter than that.

If this is an attempt to patronise and/or bribe me, no need trying.
Just tell Fashola that he has less than two years to RIGHT the mediocrity that he has passed on as excellence for more than six years so far. Particularly on free and COMPULSORY education for ALL Lagos children whose parents cough up the 60% IGR in his budget.
Understandably, he may not be able to do much in that period on potable water provision as well as feeder roads since he and his oga on the top have watsed 14 solid years doing very little in these sectors
#FriendlyAdvice.

Akainzo: Please SHOW PROOF of this your assertion, any proof at all. So LASU lecturers and workers were living off what in that 17 months (1 Year 5 MOnths) and didn't cry out to the world. You are indeed the depth of falsehood.

Because you asked for it (sounds like some old TV programme)

Idris also alleges that though the university owes lecturers and non-academic members of staff 17 months salary arrears, it has failed to engage in dialogue with the union on how the debt would be paid. He explains that the state government agreed to pay 50 per cent of the arrears, while LASU should pay the remaining 50 per cent. The state government, he says, “has honoured its own part of the deal while the management has offered to pay 20 per cent alongside our July salary, but they are not saying anything about how to pay the rest and we told them that we should meet on this. So far, they have refused to meet with us.”

On this, Fosudo, who describes himself as a member of ASUU, says the 20 per cent has been paid on Friday, together with the July salary, adding that the remaining would be paid soon. Idris confirms this but insists that the method adopted by the management is faulty.

“You cannot stop your employer from crediting your account, but what we are saying is that before part of the arrears were paid, we ought to have met to discuss how the remaining part would be paid. But they didn’t discuss anything with us. Anyway, our position is that the money must be paid this year and in two instalments,” Idris notes.

I posted the link for the above story from Punch earlier:

http://www.punchng.com/education/high-tuition-poor-facilities-spur-disquiet-in-lasu/

and wonder why we can't simply and LEARN more about issues we are concerned about

Please note that Dr. Sola Fosudo is the Acting Director, Centre for Information, Press and Public Relations of LASU while at the same time lecturer and Head of Theatre Arts Department.
That is to say Mr. Fashola's LASU is contributing to Nigeria's unemployment by doubling up functions for unpaid lecturers in a school he inherited so that he and his cronies can have more money to steal.
SMH for Oga "excellent progressive"!!!

Reference: Lagos under the Fashola led government is over-hyped, but it is making steady progress and I don't think anyone wishes a return to the past. Could it be better. Yes of course but that is left for the opposition to prove and the people to decide. If they can't then half bread is better than none. In some other states even bread crumbs are unavailable.

I guess you are speaking for yourself, which is quite alright.
There are those who wish a return to the past GLORIOUS days of Awolowo's six years (1954-1960) as Premier of the Western region, which included most of Lagos except Yaba and Lagos Island as well as Edo & Delta states.
What Awo did in those six years can simply be considered a MIRACLE compared to the mediocrity (average performance) targeted at less than 20% of Lagos STATE by Fashola in more than six years (May 2007 - August 2013) and so much federal allocation from Abuja, Lagosian's direct money as IGR and debt burden for the future generation.

Many would also wish for a return of Awo's protege, Baba Kekere, Action governor Alhaji Lateef Jakande whose vision 30 years ago Fashola is PANTING and SWEATING just to catch up.


https://payload160.cargocollective.com/1/9/312056/5505400/walkcycle_1.gif


Things like

* metro rail service before the ethno-religious bigot, Ayatollah Buhari cancelled it.
* ferry service,
* free education with textobboks up to secondary school.
* establishment of LASU with pocket-friendly fees
* REAL low cost housing
* feeder roads
* etc, etc

all these despite a MEAGRE budget PER Lagosian when compared to what the profligates in the Alausa state house have to "play" with.

So please kindly speak for yourself!!!

agbameta: Not only LASU is the best state University in Nigeria, the pictures above just called you a liar. unless you have your own different meaning for improved standard and also capable of showing us anything better including academic ratings in any other state in Nigeria.

You can no win with your usual ignorance, hate and bigotry because the facts trumps lies and perpetual negativity..

Thank you for sharing with us the GLOSSY pictures of the FEW improvements he made in his six years of governance with some N= 3 trillion (3,000,000,000,000) down his budget drain.
YET he hiked fees to 250k from 25k, which has led to drop in the number of students.

Meanwhile the vast majority of facilities in the university established some 30 years ago by the REAL action progressive governor, Alhaji Lateef Jakande who had less budget PER Lagosian, remain in a terrible state as confirmed in this Punch report.

High tuition, poor facilities spur disquiet in LASU
July 30, 2013


http://www.punchng.com/education/high-tuition-poor-facilities-spur-disquiet-in-lasu/

It is obvious that the GO has no regard whatsoever for the words of the Christ he CLAIMS to represent to the mumus who flock behind him like lost sheeple.

6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. 7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. 8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.

http://www.christnotes.org/bible.php?q=matthew+6%3A+6-8&ver=kjv

Probably the GO's devotion to the cause of the smart crooks and politicians who render Nigerians hopeless so they can seek "redemption" & promised hope from his church and other similar business outfits has made him too busy to remember the words in his Bible.

20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. 21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.


http://www.christnotes.org/bible.php?q=john+4%3A+20-24&ver=kjv

May the good Lord open our eyes to see the charlattans in cassock who are sweeping away those who have chosen to be poor in the spirit- Amen!

Touchforfree: Oga Fashola I beg remember us @ Agbe Road in Abule-Egba. The road is bad but if worked on is highly important as it serve as an avenue of dodging the traffic along Abule-Egba to Ahmadiyya. Eko o ni baje o (y).

Please why are you begging a PUBLIC SERVANT who is paid from your sweat to do his job
Is there something that I do not understand?

mbhs139: you failed to state (perhaps you didn't realize) that they had far less population and frontiers to expand.

Did you notice I used the word PER?
Please allow me to refer you to your dictionary so you can check up the meaning and understand fully what I wrote. If you still have comprehension problems thereafter, please let me know so I can help you out.
But you have to check your dictionary first. Ok

How expansive was there respective land mass coverage during their reign?

Na real wah for you oh!
Ondo and Bendel states that were part of the LOOBO states governed by UPN's Ajasin and Ambrose Alli respectively have now been broken into two states. So "THERE (sic) respective land mass coverage" was much BIGGER than what the ACN governors in Ekiti and Edo states have to deal with today.
The other three states of Lagos, Oyo and Ogun remain the same.

Thankfully for us, the late great sage Awo and the five UPN governors passed through this land earlier otherwise one can only imagine what the ACN bootlickers would be telling us today.
What a life

Eko Atlantic: I'm hearing this one for the first time o.

Your feigned "ignorance" MAY be understandable given the job you do for Fashola here.
But let me refresh the memory of those who may be swindled and confused by your baseless assertion above.

Corruption: Group March Against Obasanjo, Submits Petition To EFCC
Posted on November 14, 2007 | 3 Comments

Youths this morning under the aegis of Coalition Against Corrupt Leaders, (CACOL), stormed the office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, (EFCC) in Lagos to demand the immediate arrest and prosecution of former President Olusegun Obasanjo. The youths, carrying placards and chanting songs, alleged in the petition they submitted to EFCC that the ex-president illegally accumulated billions of naira while he was in office.

http://ofilis1234./2007/11/14/corruption-group-march-against-obasanjo-submits-petition-to-efcc/

That was way back in 2007 i.e. six years ago just as Fashola was coming in and OBJoke of PDP just finished his tenancy in Aso Rock.
Were you already employed by Fashola at that time and receiving your own largesse out of the 60% IGR raised from the parents of the children that Fashola cannot provide public schools' COMPULSORY education for?
Maybe if you were you would have been aware of the activisim of this group of patriots.

The DECEPTION of the fraudsters in the Association of Conmen in Nigeria, ACN has gone on for too long but as with similar propaganda it can not go on forever.
Eyes go dey open small, small!!!

bloggernaija: Some people are just plain stupid and innumerate
First of all let us distribute that 20 billion naira per head .
That is thousand naira. Barely $7/head.
Note that a lot of work has to be done to even raise this revenue.
What can you do with this amount of money

Let us also distribute the Kano state's monthly budget over its population, which is greater than that of Lagos. Shall we
Unlike other states, Lagos has inherited infrastructure from almost 100 years of being the capital of Nigeria funded by the federal money i.e. Niger Delta oil revenue.

Over a 1000 public schools,many of whom contain children of economic refugees from other state who have been discarded .
An extensive network of roads,bridges and drainage which has to be consistently and frequently maintained.
The massive security challenges.
The large amount of refuse generated .

The same way most Nigerians, including Lagosians, who are socio-economic refugees (but deceive themselves & others that they are diasporans) in the UK, USA etc are benefitting from the free and COMPULSORY education in the QUALITY public schools in those foreign countries.
Nor be so
Meanwhile, Fashola despite all the overhype about planting flowers has been a dismal & colossal FAILURE in terms of providing education for ALL children in Lagos whose parents cough out 60% IGR of the N= 3 trillion (3,000,000,000,000) that has gone down his budget drain along with the 57 LGAs controlled by ACN in the past six years.
Even the LASU that was built by the hardworking, morally upright REAL progressive action governor, Lateef Jakande was BASTARDISED by the Akotileta (prodigal son) who is the current tenant of Alausa house. He raised fees from 25k to 250k without any improvement in standards. Rather he owed academic and non-academic staff for 17 months.
Can you imagine that- 17 monthss by a so-called "progressive" governor
SMH!!!

ba7man: Provide a Governor whom you think is the benchmark for excellence in Nigeria and I'll understand what you've been driving at.

Chief Obafemi Awolowo
Bola Ige
Kunle Ajasin
Olabisi Onabanjo
Prof. Ambrose Alli
all late and

Alhaji Lateef Jakande

are far above Fashola in excellent performance with much less resources per citizen.

naptu2: Roads, healthcare, transport, job creation, security, tourism, agriculture, housing, urban development, etc. I'll be back in the evening with evidence (including pictures) of "nothing" (I'm going to spend my weekend on this thread).

Although nothing will ever satisfy some people, but the neutrals will be able to see for themselves that Fashola has "done nothing".

I don't think anyone will say or has said that Fashola has "done nothing". Every Nigerian politician has done something. The critical question is has the PUBLIC SERVANT done something WORTHWHILE for the electorate when COMPARED with the RESOURCES at his diposal vis-a-vis his predecessors in the same Office and other places.

I hope your weekend on this thread will also reflect Mr. Fashola's achievement in the education sector, which is the bedrock and foundation for any meaningful and sutainable development.
I notice that it is conspicuously missing in your post above and I wonder why that is so

django1: If that anonimi guy can ever be sincere in his life he would know that nothing good comes cheap. Even if you give the destitutes cheap accomodation, they will rubbish it, they'll invite more people from their villages and towns and they'll crowd lagos with some more low-lifers and before you know that accomodation will be the new slum.

We need a paradigm shift, it cannot be done by FG alone but surely it isn't the job of LASG to take the initiative in educating the masses.

I will ignore your insult, as usual, about being sincere or not so we can focus on Fashola's gross failure to deliver the BASIC services to the good people of Lagos state.

You can save your big grammar for the gullible folks and area boys who form the bulk of ACN supporters.
The RESPONSIBILITY for primary education and secondary schools is that of the LGA and state governments respectively as per the 1999 constitution. All the Lagos LGAs have been under ACN control.
The UPN governors of the five LOBOO states just 30 years ago provided free education up to secondary school with textbooks also while building state universities.
Mr. Fashola's legacy is not only to abandon his responsibility in this regard but worse still to spoil what he inherited by increasing the LASU tuition fees from 25k to 250k. Meanwhile the conditions in the schools have even become worse with staff (academic & non-academic) being owed for 17 months.

A "progressive" government that owes 17 months salary while the "not-progressive" and "clueless" Jonathan is paying promptly.
What manner of FAKE progressives applauded by CERTIFIED mumus
SMH!!!

Anniettie ufia: I was really asking myself why our federal lawmakers couldn't learnt their voices to this ASUU's matter , now i note one of the reasons,

Who says there is law in this country ?
Who says the senators are serving the people ?
Who says there can be positive growth among such spending ?
Who says vision 20-20-20 is an attendable Agenda ?
Corruption,Corruption,Corruption is smelling among our leaders.
Which Way Out ?
If not the fear of The Lord ?
Lord, we really need Your help .

Na real true you talk oh my man.
Oya make the mumus in mumuland close dem eyes(even plus including dem sense) pray to the Lord to come down and really helep us.

Meanwhile the magas go dey hammer our money dey go for doing almost nothing worthwhile to resolve the many challenges facing the country.

naptu2: It would be absolutely INSANE to give out free houses. People will migrate from all over the ECOWAS region to occupy the houses. It will lead to massive corruption.

What is possible is to have homes like the Destitute's Home at Okobaba (I posted the picture earlier) for those who can't work and to create skills acquisition centres to ensure that those who can work will have a means to earn a living and thus be able to afford to buy or rent apartments. You then create a mortgage scheme (eg Lagos HOMS) to ensure that the houses are affordable.

Or have flats rented out at minimal monthly cost for occupiers to own in say 20-30 years time.
I believe that is what Mobolaji Johnson did for those relocated to Surulere and what is done in those countries where some of our people are hiding in socio-economic exile doing jobs for which they are over-qualified COMPARED to their oyinbo colleagues on the same job.

talktimi: This is a situation i expected our so called "progressive" members of the national assembly to move a motion for a reduction in the salaries and emoluments of them & their colleagues if not they have nothing to offer we common Nigerians that we're not already seeing.

They are only "progressive" with their EMPTY words and campaign PROMISES.
They cannot compare with REAL progressives such as the late sage, Awolowo or his UPN associates.

solomon111: Government is no longer "father christmas"?
Really?
These are the same people that complain of the poverty in the country and attribute it to the FG.
Smdh.

Abeg nor mind all these ACN supporters o jare!
The same LASG that is throwing away tax payers money under the fraudulent scheme of EKOGas by giving Tinubu's company 20% subsidy on gas cylinders

Bunch of HYPOCRITES in the Association of Conmen in Nigeria, ACN
Wonder, wonder, wonder!!!


https://www.nairaland.com/1321563/fashola-launches-eko-gas-lpg

The issue of OVERpaying NONperforming political office holders and their accompanying political jobbers who also do nothing beyond organising girls for their bosses needs to STOP for us to make any meaningful progress and start placing value on hardwork.

https://en.clipart-fr.com/data/clipart/signs/sign_085.jpg

New Alfa: This is useless and won't hurt UK.

If they want to really, retaliate, they may have to start imposing special trade tax on uk companies trading in Nigeria. Like BP. That will make them squirm. But with all these corrupt 2 naira officials, I can keep dreaming.

Thanks for the mature and realistic comment.
Nothing more to add.

Arewa Peoples Congress, APC should please take note.

LFJ: The truth is bitter. You may not like this man, but when he talks, he makes a lot of sense.

Such as when he said this in private

ba7man: I developed a proposal for mass housing that slum dwellers can pay for over time but after research, I discovered that it would still end up being a better built slum and it wouldn't be profitable. Its their frame of mind that can turn "Miami-Florida" to a slum so its education they need, not free housing.

A few quick points:

1. They are not they. Rather they are we and an integral part of us, residents of Lagos and bonafide citizens of Nigeria whose fortunes and how they are treated reflects on us ALL when we are looked at by someone who is not a Lagosian and/or Nigerian.
2. I did not mention that anyone should be given FREE housing. If you think I did, please point it out.
3. Yes, WE all need education for our children as is done in most developed countries on a COMPULSORY basis and as Awo did 60 years ago with primary schools only and was advanced/PROGRESSED some 30 yeasr ago by UPN governors in the LOOBO states.

What is Mr. Fashola's achievements and legacy on education for children, more than six years in government and some N=3 trillion (3,000,000,000,000) down the budget drain

Billyonaire: The rich is always right. So, Oprah has to be right, if you think I am wrong then you are not right.

Yes the rich INDIVIDUAL is always usually right in the midst of poor INDIVIDUALS.
More importantly the rich GROUP of individuals is usually right among GROUPS of poor people.
So a rich INDIVIDUAL who is member of a GROUP of poor individuals is usually wrong against a poor INDIVIDUAL who is a member of a GROUP of rich individuals.

Eru kan ni n muni bu igba eru - One slave makes us to insult 200 slaves.

Half a word should be enough for the wise who can think & reflect.
I hope there are many who are such on this forum.

olorogun1: I think when issue like this happens we should learn or try to figure out what's actually happening on the other side,i was privileged to watch an interview granted by this so call ramond dokpesi,on the national tv, and this particular issue was raised and from the answer/respose he gave I think the guy is not totally guilty of this accusations, he said in the interview that he's an investor that invested in ait which happens to be an arm of daar communications and that there are people responsible for the management of the station who are not really efficient in their obligations to the station and there are lots of debt they are been owed,also that most of the advert you see been aired on ait is mostly done on credit.and that some of these people owing do sometimes refuses to pay and there's little or nothing they can do to retrieve this money from the debtors,he categorically said in that interview that he's not responsible for the welfare of the workers that it's the management who's responsible for that,he also talk about the none profit yielding daar communication shares that was sold.honestly I felt for the guy after listening to that interview because am also an investor in some business and I know what it's like feeling the way he's feeling,but I pray that the Lord see him through sha.as for the womanising aspect I don't have any comments on that but he's an adult he has his life to live,using my phone to type don't mind the errors just get the message.my 1cent

Only in our dear country, Nigeria!
Thank you for the long story.
The message is indeed very clear.
The High Chief Thief is not responsible for what happens in his company.
In short he is an IRRESPONSIBLE man.
Do you think such a person deserves any honour whatsoever in a society of normal people who are not mostly MUMUs
Do you think such a person will not be declared bankrupt (and even jailed) in those countries we pray and fast to get their visas and get stuck in even though we may be doing the types of work we will never consider in our own country?
Someone who sits as the ultimate OWNER of the business/investment?

How much more foolish and stewpid can we get
Oh I forget we PRAY and God will come down & save us- Problem solved!!!

django1: You can't be serious. Bawo ni eyan se ma'n roonu bi ti e na?

How can you compare a poverty ravaged country like Nigeria to UK or US? Who are those creating slums in those countries if not black africans?

If fashola should give free accomodation to any slum dweller he should then be ready to host all of Nigeria in lagos.

You are all about criticism but most often than not its just borne out of hatred, no one is fooled of your evil intent guy, quite the charade.

Please point out to where I said FREE accommodation should be provided by Fashola.
I am waiting.

stephnie44: AIT

Sharing the nigeria experienceeeeee.after all fed govt owe asuuuuu

Where did you read and/or hear that the federal government owes salary to ASUU
Any reliable source/ link?

django1: And then some more slums emerges and he'll have to do another "onile gogoro" for them. Hmmm.

You'll make a disastrous administrator.

Disastrous administrator like those in the UK and USA where they have successfully done such
And numerous Nigerians are flocking there claiming they are in diaspora?

[quote author=bashy_demy]So what your argurment now? should fashola leave those slums areas undeveloped cos of the poor people living there.[/quote]I guess I have to spell it out for you.
He should not leave the slums as they are/were.
He can destroy/demolish them AFTER making alternative living arrangements for the OWNERS of the houses there.
That was what General (ret.d) Mobolaji Johnson did with the Onile Gogoro estate in Surulere.
If Mr. Fashola wants to do the right thing he does not even need to go far for an example.
Get it

BTW, I like your signature. Very appropriate advice for the DEPENDENT babes.

Obiagelli: Make una allow this man do im job na, issokay.

Exactly.
A job for which he is very handsomely paid COMPARED to other workers in the same government!

infodollarman: May God have mercy on us in this our NAIJA

Yes, SIMPLY keep praying

https://wp.patheos.com/community/deaconsbench/files/2010/12/praying-on-one-knee.jpg

The people wey sabi sey dem compatriots mostly be mugus will be very happy indeed to continue "chancing" us.
I guess God had mercy on UK, USA etc where we now run to be under-employed in an unwelcome environment as socio-economic exile but we go dey pose sey we dey diaspora.
Abi, nor be so
