hbpeze: 2015 elections wil b tough but fashola aint gonna gt it*if d pdp candidtate mks sense*y shuldnt dey get it

Which Fashola are you talking about? The one who would have done the constitutional limit of two terms by 2015 abi na im wife?? In case you are not aware Tinubu's wife will be the next governor of Lagos.
PDP cannot win Lagos governorship even if [size=13pt]ACN puts up a donkey as candidate (not saying Mrs. Remi Tinubu is a donkey- at least a donkey delivers on its purpose of carrying load, unlike the "distinguished" SINator who has done nothing of her core responsibility, which is enacting laws to address issues of concern to her constituents!!!)[/size]

PDP can only realistically continue to "capture" LG chairmanship & councillorship slots as they did in the last LASIEC organised elections even in Tinubu's courtyard, Ikoyi. They can then build their political capital until Lagosians start perceiving them in a better light as an OPTION to [size=13pt]their fellow rogues in the Association of Conmen in Nigeria (ACN)[/size]

[quote author=Okiki_Oluwa]God ll judge.[/quote]Sit down and wait for God to come down and judge him while he makes away with the people's inheritance and right to good education, roads, pipe-borne water, well equipped & staffed hospitals, infrastructure etc.
I understand that was how the French people waited for God some 200 years ago until [size=13pt]He came down and beheaded the king, Louis XIV.[/size]

Can you identify God in the painting below depicting the beheading scene of the corrupt king? Probably the one holding the blood soaked handkerchief, or what do you think? Hope sey you nor mind sey I dey give you assignment so early in this new year

Yeye dey boom! Mugus fool ground remain!!!

I will give him 35%. Nothing more.
He, like OBJ, had goodwill and opportunity to impress seriously but failed to do so as they juggle for political power retention issues of re-election.

BTW, what percent will you rate your [size=14pt]LG councillor, chairman, State and federal NASS legislators[/size]?

Is it not time these loafers at these "minor" political level start EARNING the mega millions they currently receive from OUR taxes

cashmentor: These guys will tell good things about Nigeria, making others Craving to come taste for themselves.... Not bad for a Boko Ravaged Republic!

Not so sure about the bold part.
Rather, they will tell about the things, good, bad & ugly, that they experienced & saw while in the country. Those listening and in business/government can be inspired to make the required changes.

drstan: If una like make una ño belive ,T.B josh. Also say simila tin, about d death of some elite.

And in which year did elites not die

What did Christ say about the generation looking for signs and wonders?
And his saying about those who are poor in spirit?
Read your bible, especially the four gospels.

#FriendlyAdvice.

Generally good advice or maybe even economic predictions but definitely [size=13pt]NOT prophecies on the biblical standard of precision on otherwise unpredictable matters.[/size]
Anyone with TB Joshua;s 2012 "prohecies" for comparison to check their correctness now the year is over

baslone: How would he have seen you? Were you the only one at the VIP or you prolly know each other?

Just asking?

nor mind the guy jare. Sebi im na billyonaire!
na the effizy, gra gra of lagosians be dat. Eko for show even if nothing dey for backup.

oyb: bad bele

party pooper

your master was probably passed out drunk under a bed

Abeg na when the owner of nairaland go put the dislike button abi na thumbs down sef
Why black man nor dey like analysis wey go helep am improve for im life?

redsun: It is commendable,but what provisions have they made to make brand new affaordable fridges available?

Necessity, they say, is the mother of inventions. The ban on dangerous tokunbo fridges will spur entrepreneurs to fill in the gap.
Kenya has maintained a ban on import of cars over seven years old for some time now and they still have many cars on their road that comply with this rule.

j4jj: Of course Pastor Kun is a pastor bt a fake 1!lol

Why don't you post [size=14pt]your "genuine" pastor Adeboye's 2012 prophecy and show us if/how they came to pass[/size] instead of making empty statements here.

tizblink: hmmn!lagos and party..dat tiwa pose toh badt sha

na to tell you where the inspiration dey flow from!

Lanreclassic: It's no longer news that the Lagos Countdown concert is the No 1 and the Biggest New Year’s Eve Party in Africa. This year features star artist like TuFace Idibia, D’banj, EME - Wizkid, Banky W, Skales, Niyola, Mavin - Don Jazzy, Tiwa Savage, Wande Coal, D’Prince, Choc Boyz ft. MI, Ice Prince, Jesse Jagz, Burna Boy, Iyanya and more.
The series of event took place at Eko Atlantic City (Ahmadu Bello way through Bar Beach stretch until Eko Atlantic Office).

Na so you don waka waka al over Africa today for sabi sey na ya party be the "Biggest New Year’s Eve Party in Africa"
With that crowd? What is the size of the crowd? Abi nor be dat wan dem take dey compare sey party big abi small?
What is that yoruba saying again? Omo ti ko ba de oko baba elomi a ma so pe oko baba ohun ni o tobi ju - pikin wey never see another person farm go dey boast sey na im papa farm big pass.

Degis: Prophecies are not for analysis but to be believed for Fufillment. You remind me of the Man described in the Bible who said "even if God opened the windows, how will this things be". Indeed you shall not partake of this blessings when they come to pass.

Abeg nor compare death with sleep, you hear?
The biblical quote you madwe was in response to a specific prophecy of what will happen and [size=14pt]even when.[/size] Not this wish washy, jeun soke that this leading sweet talking scammer is spewing as prophecy.
He can still redeem himself by giving a prophecy on when his bosom friend, Ibori will be released from the British jail. That should be easy and straightforward enough, shouldn't it?
Anyone has Adeboye's 2012 prophecies so we can cross check how they panned out now that the year is over

OP forgot to add that Fashola is spineless in the face of his godfather, Tinubu who has him by the balls for whatever undisclosed reason.

A ban on the import of second-hand refrigerators is coming into force in Ghana to reduce energy consumption and harm to the environment.

Many old fridges contain chemicals called Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) which damage the Earth's ozone layer.

Although these are already banned or being phased out, they are thought to be commonly used in Africa.

The head of Ghana's energy commission told the BBC the ban made Ghana "a pioneer in West Africa".

The ban was first introduced in 2008 but was extended to give dealers time to adjust.

However, some Ghanaian traders have criticised the ban, saying thousands of jobs will be lost.

Energy commission head Alfred Ofosu-Ahenkora says the second-hand refrigerators are harming the country as they were not built for use in Africa and so consume too much electricity.

The commission says some two million used fridges have been imported to Ghana, mainly from the European Union.

BBC

Meanwhile the "giant of Africa" is still importing any and every waste & junk from anywhere & everywhere.

iya ayi: Pictures From Actor Ibrahim Chatta's Marriage Ceremony To Miss Salamat Mohammed

Holy matrimony today, 30th December 2012 at Ilorin, kwara state home of d bride, daughter to [size=13pt]distinguished senator [/size]mohammed sha'aba lafiagi.

Is there something I am missing?
How is Mr. Lafiagi a distinguished senator??
How many bills has he raised to address issues affecting his constituents and signed by the president
Did anyone read the story of the Nigerian student in the US with tumors who recently got a green card from a private bill sponsored by the senator for the area where he lives?
Small time we go dey yarn sey fisherman Jona is clueless when obviously is the least clueless of the more clueless 160m he leads.

Aderostock: I thought you said you are educated.
Let's take a look at some developing nations suchas Seychelles and ivory coast. Seychelles has a population of 20 thousand while ivory coast with a population of over 13 million, why is it dat seychelles is more organised, more developed and better managed than ivory coast? Please answer me

Why is the US with over 300 million ("and still counting" )with 50 states BETTER organised than Nigeria with some 160 million and 36 states

Answer your own question, please!

Aderostock: Lagos has over 20 million to cater for and still counting

Where did you get your 20 million Lagos population from?
"and still counting". Who is counting? How is the counting been done?
Yet the DIMwits in ACN will try to hoodwink those who cannot see beyond their mostly EMPTY hype that the FGN is lying.

BTW, what have the 20% or so ACN legislators done in the NASS about the alleged lies of the FGN?
What motions have they raised about these lies to correct them on the floors of the lower and upper houses? Have they not gleefully participated in all the sheenaningans going on in the Senate and House of Reps, [size=14pt]including RECEIVING illegitimate salaries and allowances over & above the RMAFC recommendation?[/size]

What is the difference between

a) six
b) half a dozen

afam4eva: People need to stop being emotional when Fashola is criticized. Instead, we should look at the crux of the argument and address them rather than result to insults.

Good start. Insults are the hallmarks and stock-in-trade of the online propaganda recruits of the conmen gathered in ACN.
The insults are obvously to scare the faint-hearted critics away. But they are failing as more and more people travel around the country and see what other governors, including those of PDP are doing.

No matter what people say, i still think Fashola has done well when compared to his predecessors.

Please permit me to amend the above to read "compared to his IMMEDIATE predecesors" i.e. the satellite chiefs of the military MAXIMUM RULER DICTATOR at the federal level such as Marwa, Oyinlola, Akhigbe, Raji Rasaki etc plus including Femi Otedola's father of the NRC era.

Media propaganda or not, people will not be praising someone who has not achieved something in office.

You may need to review the above as it is intuitively ironic. What is the whole essence of propaganda?

kingingkinging: -FREE PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOLS ARE FOR THE MASSES- OR YOU ARE NOT AWARE THAT SOME STATES PAY FOR PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOLS;

Free and COMPULSORY primary education by Awolowo -60 years ago.
Free primary and secondary education with textbooks by Jakande -30 years ago
Fashola has made NO improvement, no PROGRESS, nothing new on this crucial aspect of governance that guarantees sustainable development of the society.
Never mind the fact that as a secondary student in the 80s he benefited from four years of free education from Alhaji Lateef Jakande who also built LASU that the prodigal son currently occupying Alausa state house has increased the fees astronomically for no justifiable reason.

The only Nobel laureate from Nigeria who is also an indefatigable activist for the masses and a Yorubaman from Awolowo's state had this to say on Akpabio recently:

Soyinka commends Akpabio’s educational programmes

THE Akwa Ibom State Governor, Chief Godswill Akpabio has received commendations from Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, for his efforts in human capacity development in his state.

Soyinka, who was the Chairman of a discussion session at the second day of the South South economic summit in Asaba, specifically mentioned Governor Akpabio’s training of Akwa Ibom youths in specialised field of aviation as well as his free education to all youths in the state.

The education models, Soyinka stated, must be developed by governments at all levels.

Akpabio told participants at the summit of his administration’s investments in free and compulsory education for [size=14pt]all Nigerians residing[/size] in Akwa Ibom State up to secondary school level.

He maintained that this gesture was to build the capacity of the youths to meet the manpower challenges of not only the emerging industrial economy of the state, but the highly competitive labour market in Nigeria.

Nation

This is from ACN's main propaganda vehicle- Nation newspaper. The erudite professor did not mind that ACN is "bribing" him by making his son a Commissioner in Ogun state.
Can one not say that PDP's Akpabio is one of the true progressive sons of the late sage, Awolowo
[size=14pt]Tinubu's party is more about hype and elites than action government for the benefit of the masses who queue up & vote them into power.[/size] Little by little the eyes of the people will be open to the conmen who make up ACN.

Demdem: @ OP

Can u kindly mention one Retardeen quality as regards his past political acheivement in bayelsa that made him become the current president.
if the retardeen in his daft state can be, why not fashola?

I thought the Yorubas said esin iwaju ni t'eyin nwo sare - the leading horse inpires those behind i.e you benchmark/compare yourself with the best performance. Why would you knowing this compare your "excellent" governor with someone you have labelled "retardeen" and "daft".
Is it to confirm the mediocre (average) performance of your excellent governor?
Why not compare him with Jakande or Awolowo? That wan dey fear you?

Finally got to visit this thread.
Thanks for the write ups and the good work.
I will check from time to time to see if/how I can participate.

Moderators should look out for those who copy ENTIRE posts from OPs, especially when VERY LONG.
They should amend the post so only the poster's comment remains.
It can be quite annoying scrolling down and down through what the OP has already written.

kolokolobi: The fact that individuals have gone to jail and corporations have paid hefty fines for bribing Nigerians and gej has done nada is really an attitudinal problem. The one who has this problem is the spineless leader that has been looking the other way...gej himself. PERIOD.

He is spineless because he leads 160m people who are much more spineless than he is. Get it?
How much did you contribute to any politician's election at the LG, state, federal and in the executive or legislative arm? How much time, effort, intelligence did you volunteer to making your candidate win?
In short, he needs those corrupt people that you and I like to lambast with plenty grammar here and elsewhere to keep him in power while he makes whatever changes he can make until he hands over in 2015 or 2019.
If you can't contribute to changing the country, please zip it up and stop blaming those who are courageous (with tough spine) to step up and step out to make SOME difference.

Aderostock: Haters, where are you?

Was this really necessary?
Must you show how childish you are consistently? yet when GEJ says attitude is Nigeria's GREATEST problem una go dey halla!!!

Paul John: I think so.

Thanks.
So in short the additional thing Mr. Aregbesola has done is to give free uniforms and textbook for one subject:

He assured residents of the state that the distribution of the free uniforms and Health Education textbooks is just a tip of the iceberg compared with the dividends of democracy his administration has in store for Osun people.

And the ACN propangadists want us to pull off our trousers and pants and start screaming 7 hallelujahs, 7 hossanas and 21 allahuakbar!!!

Compared to the record of Bola Ige as governor of old Oyo state (that included present day Osun state). He gave textbooks in all subjects and did not have to raise a bond at over 14% nor receive mega federal allocations from currently high oil prices.
However to Ogbeni's credit he reduced the university fees by half from what he inherited from Oyinlola. But that is not enough based on the resources he has now and what was done by UPN governors 30 years ago!

excelsiorfarm: have u ever considered baking or making snacks eg puffpuff,akara,moin-moin,meat pie.Dont laugh,why u are selling ,your other colleagues will be making u richer(if u are focus & wont sell on credit).Dont be proud ,it wont take more than 6k to get started.in 1 wk that would at least be doubled

You don't even have to make the snacks you listed yourself.
Just engage some people, put in good management controls and make your money.
When they ask for employers of labour, you already qualify!

hisson3: because fashola has put laws in place to curb the excesses of lagosians, u tell me wat jonah has put in place to serve as check & balance?

so it is the role of the executive to make laws?
what is the role of the lawmakers in the LG, state and federal legislative chambers?
Did you read the story of the Nigerian for whom the senator from his US state sponsored a private bill for his green card

womble and fumble to nowhere (currently)

take dat: Bro, I have observed that the only way to get the best from PDP is having a strong opposition party, competion will be there and we'll do well to get rid of tribal and regional politics

Indeed the best is to have two parties as we had in the 3rd republic experiment with maradona IBB's manufactured NRC and SDP.
It was such arrangement that neutralised, to a large extent, the factors of ethnicity and religion and allowed MKO Abiola emerge as winner of June 12,1993 elections.

take dat: It is only those who are satisfied with Nigeria becoming a One Party State through PDP that'll oppose or move to truncate the merger, though the characters in the political space are almost the same but having two or more stronger parties is healthy for our democracy. It is inconsequential if Galadima and co are dissatisfied With the merger as long as [size=14pt]Buhari who single handedly controls the party[/size] is interested.

Birds of the same feather MUST flock together apparently. [size=14pt]Tinubu owned ACN[/size] merges with Ayatollah Buhari's CPC.
Just wondering how the two MAXIMUM RULERS (one military, the other civilian) will fit into one boat.
