The bottom line is Fashola could still have done ten times better than He did, but the sad part is given all these same resources, most other Governors would have performed much woefully. You are talking of Lagos!, Nigeria has much more money. What can we even say Mr GEJ has done with it Instead He is removing subsidy; He is increasing import duty. If you compare the generated revenue of lagos per the population, then you would even find that the state is poorer than the Oil producing state, what can you see in those states IN THE LAND OF THE BLIND THE ONE EYED MAN IS THE KING. This is our story.

These are the kind of worthless and incompetent people they like. These are their heroes...

aljharem:
Is London not more congested than lagos ?

Shut up because you have no excuse

Ode, Dubai's budget is $10.3 billion, they have $240 billion worth of mega projects under way with the full backing of their FG with financial resources and support...

And the entire population of Dubai is measly 2.1 million..

You ignorant people should try educate yourselves before spewing your garbage...

https://www.nairaland.com/1987523/fashola-inspects-combined-high-magistrate



If any of you noise makers can show us similar projects and service delivery ijn the above link, let me know and I'll pay you serious attention... Till then, keep quiet with your few roads and 1 stadium loser and incompetent village governor who ported his own family to Fashola's LAGOS and won't even let his own Family reside in his own state..

Ajibel:
I dont want to call you a _fucktard sir. I'll restate that BRF is NOT a saint BUT he has left Lagos much improved than when he came in 2007.

That troll and nuisance is a clown with no self worth, no identity or even self of belonging...

[s]

aljharem:
Shut up jare how much is the cost of governance

[/s]


Your dumb asssss should at least educate us about the cost of governance before opening your rettarded and ignorant mouth.

What's the cost of governance got to do with me adding up the state's IGR?

You clowns just spew rubbish that you know nothing about and can not even properly explain or articulate.

[s]

aljharem:
You are sooo dull you can even differentiate what the topic is about and what you are discussing.

The allocation akwa ibom is due to the fact that it is oil producing and the extra funds are used for community welfare of those oil producing areas. It is called compensation.

You are too emotional and full of lies and propaganda .

[/s]


Regardless of the ignorant and idiotic reason you claimed they get the money for, please tell us what it is for? Is it not to develop the state and deliver on behalf of the people?

Or is it just for a few roads in uyo and 1 football pitch?

Please STFU and keep your ignorant and unintelligent nonsense to yourself and your kind...

Ajibel:
Many times, people quote Lagos having over #20Billion in revenue and I wonder if such folks know the cost of governance or how a government is being run.
They sound as if BRF should just take a large chunk of the money and turn Lagos into a giant construction site. All bad roads cant be built at the same time. BRF isnt a saint, no doubt, but he is the best amongst all. He has his shortcomings that I greatly fault buh if he's to go for 3rd term, Imma vote for him...

It's ignorance, bigotry and silly politics..


20 x 12 is 240. This is less than half of the yearly budget while IGR or no IGR, Akwa Ibom cleans out up front with allocations alone so Like I said, it's ignorance, bigotry and silly politics...

[s]

poiZon:
first who said lagos state has 20million people?
ok lets assumed thr r 20million persons n 40 percent pay tax to the state, that s huge money bros, hw u c am compare to 3million persons n assuming 40percent or less pay taxes, that is tip of ice berg compare to lagos revenue.


do u knw d meaning of propaganda, that is what fashola is doing..
akwaibom allocation is 100billion naira more than lagos state, lagos state internally generated revenue is 600 billion times bigger than akwaibom state, yet akwaibom state budget is bigger than lagos state, where are thr dumping the monies bros? diaris god oooooo

[/s]


I don't have time for senseless and illogical argument.

Budgets is what states work with at the end of the day regardless of your IGR and allocations and it determines what they can do and can not do in terms of infrastructure and service delivery.

Akwa Ibom has more budget money than Lagos state. Yes or No. Answer is YES.

How many major projects did Akwa Ibom finished with the largest budget in Nigeria? A few roads and 1 stadium. FACT or prove me wrong if you can, but I know you can not and wont even try...

Please don't quote me again if you can not use your brain, be logical and articulate with facts..

UchihaMadara:
Nah dude, I'm not talking about the bridge, I am talking about the lekki express toll.

I actually like the fact that the new toll bridge is always lit and I would score that 100% by all standards.

UchihaMadara:
@aresa, don't you think that sterling example you posted of a constantly lit toll bridge should be replicated on the lekki-ajah toll road?
These are just questions everyday citizens ask.

I'm guessing it's included in the new Peninsula Power project public lighting project, but you might want to forward your complaints to the state Electricity Board..

manutdadex:
well drop ur emotions and re read wat i wrote..take ur time..den reply!

I state again that yes, fashola did a few good things but he skillfully used the media to overhype these few deeds in such a way that it almost covers up all the embezzlement he has done. most people don't know about the funds he has access to so they believe he has done so much. all his media hyping is just a cover up. if u notice from his deeds he doesn't seem to care for the common man at all

I read everything you posted and my reply was a reflection of that you posted.

1. You argued that he has few projects on the ground and he uses the media to hype them up which was just ignorant and absurd because facts remain that the media report what's on the ground and not what's not on the ground.

If the media is talking about lekkii bridge, it's because Fashola built it and the media report his work everyday because he commissions projects everyday.

If akpabio commissions project everyday, the'll report it everyday same way they reported the only stadium project he commissioned apart from the few roads after 8 nears in office.

Tell us what he commissioned last week, last month and even last year and even the year before. NOTHING.

So, exactly what do you want the media to report or hype? They hyped his few roads and stadium and that's all, nothign more to hyoe.

No new schools to hype

No new hospitals to hype

No nee clinics and maternity centers to hype

No skills centers to hype

No state institutions to hype

No visionary projects to hype

Also places like Enugu, Anambra, Aba and that entire region did not build anything or commissioned anything so there's nothing for the media to hype and the folks from that region on NL can not show us anything from that region because there is nothing to show hence latching on to Akwa Ibom as if Akwa Ibom is their's.


I have no problem with you spewing your pointless and illogical rubbish, just push it elsewhere with the unintelligent and ignorant folks on NL because I have facts and knowledge on my side to shut you down with...

UchihaMadara:
A simple example things not done right is the Lighting on the Lekki toll road, sometimes you drive by and it's so dark because the lights are off making it dangerous for pedestrians. Really who wants to have to go through the ordeal of knocking down someone in Lagos with all the jungle justice shh around.

I know power is a Federal issue, but since the road is a tolled PPP project, I'd have expected that at the very least, they gave us constant lighting there given the speeds of the cars and the high rates at which pedestrians cross the road.

In this example alone, there seems to be no excuse not to deliver the best as I believe just 1 month revenue from that tolling both would be enough to either fit individual solar panels on each pole, have a solar farm just for the lights, of have a dedicated plant to service those lights.

Are you talking about the best bridge in West Africa shinning like diamond in the sky at night or another bridge you manufactured in your head?


Like I said, we have facts in brilliant colors on our side to trash whatever bad bele and bogus noise you people come up with...

In fact, this is obviously the best lit bridge in Nigeria and if for whatever reason you can not see while driving on this bridge, the problem is obviously not the bridge, it's your eyes and you need to have your eyes checked...


The crazy things people spew on NL sef....smh

smh...

manutdadex:
dis is d same problem wit Nigerians! because he did wat no governor is doin or has done, so he is d messiah..our past leaders were criminals, our present are high class criminal do small tin steal d remainin! Also gej has performd beta dan our ex presidents but will dat stop us frm demandin for a beta service? No!

What's saint got to do with governance and delivery on behalf of your people? The is about what the leaders we elect are able to do on behalf of the people with resources at their disposal..

If you feel like comparing Fashola with GEJ which I found very absurd and ridiculous, compare him with Fashola when he was a governor just like Fashola, not with oil wealth and federal resources...

Jonathan’s primary school in a state of disrepair


With one of its illustrious sons as the nation’s president, Otuoke has etched itself on the world map. One place that stands on the right as you drive into the linear town is the President’s first alma mater, St. Stephen’s Primary School (now State School, Otuoke), Bayelsa State. A visit to the 77-year-old school, where President Goodluck Jonathan started his primary education, was a revealing experience. Senior Correspondent, EVELYN OSAGIE, who visited the school before they vacated penultimate week Thursday, reports


http://247nigerianewsupdate.co/jonathans-primary-school-in-a-state-of-disrepair/

.


That's your own president's school back in Bayelsa even with all their oil wealth, derivation, allocations and NDDC backdoor slush fund...

Baddestguyp:
when I made my point I never intended to follow it up cos I know it'll lead to a never-ending argument just like I've been warned.

I state again that yes, fashola did a few good things but he skillfully used the media to overhype these few deeds in such a way that it almost covers up all the embezzlement he has done. most people don't know about the funds he has access to so they believe he has done so much. all his media hyping is just a cover up. if u notice from his deeds he doesn't seem to care for the common man at all.

finally, just to make it clear, I'm not into any party, I don't care what party he belongs to, but I see myself as not among d ignorant.

Of what use is our discussion especially about our own country if all we do is spew baseless utterances with no truth or facts to back it up with.

Fashola is my Governor and I back up everything I say about him with facts and even pictures.

Tell me one thing about him you think he's not doing and I'll prove you wrong with facts and even pictures..

We don't get on the internet like other folks and spew what we can not back up with facts...

I'm a Nigerian and I know what every state governor is doing and not doing and even sef, they all have whatever projects they have going on on their websites, it's in their budgets and allocations so you can not lie to us or try to pull a fast one.


Just like akpabio, with all his largest budget in Nigeria, all he has to show for it is one completed football pitch and the few toads in Uyo and I dare you or any of his supporters to prove me wrong.

Apabio budgets money for Ibaka seaport every year, but the project to this very second is not in the FG's gazette, it's not on record anywhere and even the road leading to the site is still thick bush, even fence sef no dey.

Please tell us who is pocketing the billions he budgets every year for the still invisible seaport.

Amaechi next door has less money than Akwa Ibom, but Amaechi not only built a stadium, he actually built a sports complex with 10,000 more seats than the football pitch in Akwa Ibom.

Amacehi built bridges, roads, some of the best hospitals in Nigeria, some of the best schools in Nigeria.

But Akwa Ibom with mote resources did not built one single classroom, not one single hospital, the nursing school in Akwa Ibom was shut down because of poor and unfounded facilities.

Akwa Ibom today is completely broke and can not pay state workers.

After 8 years in office with the largest state budget in Nigeria, only one completed stadium and a few roads in Uyo/One single location and the state is completely broke?

You got to be shitting me...

Akwa Ibom is Not Broke - Commissioner

Uyo — The Akwa Ibom State government has described as baseless and outrageous reports that the state is broke.

The state Commissioner for Finance, Mr. Akan Okon, in an interview with newsmen in Uyo, said: "Such misinformation is capable of undermining the efforts of the present administration which has demonstrated transparency and accountability in the management of resources."

He said it was wrong to peddle such rumour, as the state has not failed in its financial responsibilities to the people.

On the purported N135 billion federal allocation collected by the state between January and June, the commissioner said the amount was a far cry from the over N400 billion appropriated in the 2014 budget for the actualisation of key projects.

Btw, the man lied, theY passed budget was not N400 billion, it was N469 billion with the usual backdoor supplemental addition which this year's was extra N25 billion = N469 + N25 billion = N494 billion. Still the largest state budget in Nigeria..

In 2012, Akwa Ibom passed N397 billion + N125 billion supplementary budget = N522 billion, still the largest budget in Nigeria..

...but today, Akwa Ibom is broke.


Again, governors with far less resources built roads, bridges and even sports complex and still managed to build tens of hospitals, schools and many many more.

You can spew all the ignorant rubbish because of your tribal and political nonsense, but you can not spew away facts and figures...

Baddestguyp:
I have never commented in politics section but I will comment on this.

fashola is overrated. he came into power, did some little things and used the media to hype it all, after that he did nothing again, he simple embezzled d huge sum of money at his disposal especially during his second term. this man has taught many lagosians a lesson. unfortunately, some ignorant people are still being fooled.

https://www.nairaland.com/1987523/fashola-inspects-combined-high-magistrate


We'ell take you people seriously when you are able to show us anything similar by any other government in Nigeria and even in the history of Nigeria.

Luckily for Lagosians and Fashola, we have recorded proof in brilliant colors that lies and self induced ignorance can not eradicate...

poiZon:
hw is akwa ibom richer than lagos, can u explain?

so many lil dudes in d haus.

lagos former federal capital territory of nigeria for more than 5decades, housing more than 2ports, 2 airports, almost all multinati8nals hqtrs even exxon mobil, etc. u can add d rest.

With all the exon crap you listed, what states work with at the end of the day after putting their taxes and allocation together is their yearly budgets.

Akwa Ibom's yearly Budgets are larger than Lagos state's budget by at least N100 billion.

In 2013 Lagos state's total IGR/year is 240 billion and fed allocation is 168 billion = 408 billion

The budget for 2013 is 497 billion.

It means Lagos state still with 20 million people have to look elsewhere to make up the difference to get to the 489 billion budget...

Akwa Iboms budget for the same year was 469 billion + 70 billion supplemental = 539 billion


497 billion and 539 billion, please tell us who is richer and should be able to commission projects everyday?

Why is Fashola with less money than Akwa Ibom commissioning projects everyday while Akwa Ibom doesn't? Have you asked yourself the above question?

It's common sense and self explanatory, but you people for some weird reason just play dumb and clueless..

So if I get you right, Fashola feeds 20m people while Akpabio feeds only 5m ni? Only that I hav been in lagos all this while and yet to get this fashola freebies

[/s]


Shallow, ignorant and unintelligent TANoids bore me...

django1:
There is nothing in those pictures? Show us anywhere else in this country you find all that.

Lagos is better than Nigeria.

BillyGOAT is a comedian so just laugh him off..

davitogreat:
I have always seen fashola's government as a bit overrated and elitist. The fact that he is being touted as the best leader Nigeria has to offer really shows you that Nigeria still has major mountains to climb. Hopefully the next governor of lagos whether (APC or PDP) governs the state better than fashola.

sidenote: One underrated governor in my opinion is Liyel Imoke. The work he has been doing in cross river state with the limited resources and the debt he inherited from his predecessor has been encouraging. I am especially impressed with the rural road and water projects, smart city initiative and the land reform project of his administration.

davitogreat:
If APC is truly a progressive party then fashola must be their candidate.

1. Fasholais overrated, but you still want him to be your president?

You people need to keep up with your hate, bad bele and the things you say all over the place...

2. Apart from the white elephant convention center, what else is going on in Cross Rivers state?

When was the last time any governor in that region commissioned anything? Please educate us?

3. Why not just show us the so called projects? Don't bother because I know you can not and wont but instead dance around or come up with insults.

All you people have is mouth with ZERO facts to back up your claims with.

Ngwakwe:
He misspelt 3rd as 3th

You are in the same league with the man you labelled illiterate

Take a look at the topic of the thread you opened.

Illeterate EFCC Officer Spells "THIRD" As "3th". ---see Picture

You mean Illeterate or Illiterate

Illeterate is An ironic misspelling of "illiterate," usually written by a retard - or, perhaps more appropriately, by a "retart."

Your mistake is as bad as Buhari's pronunciation and worse compared to PEJ's concord (agreement)

What's this meaningless essay got to do with the issue on the ground...?

Akwa Ibom Psychiatric School of Nursing Shuts Down Over Lack Of Infrastructure By Dave Emma

[b]The Akwa Ibom State School of Psychiatric Nursing located in Eket Local Government Area has been shut down after the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria (NMCN) de-accredited all the courses of the school.

Psychiatric School of Nursing now competing
for space with mushroom churches
A source in the school told this reporter in a phone chat yesterday. He maintained that after the NMCN carried out investigation last year and warned the school management that it was going to deactivate all the
courses of the school if nothing was done in twelve months to renovate and equip the school. But after a year the body which is responsible for the regulation of school of nursing, psychiatric school and other allied health institutions in country launched another investigation in March this year and discovered that instead of improving, the learning environment of the school was further deteriorating. This informed it decision of deactivating all the causes which led to the closing down of the school in April this year
The principal of the school Mr. Asuquo Umoh confirmed the sinister development but added that the government was working round the clock to reverse the unfortunate circumstance.[/b]


Psychiatric School of Nursing EketAdmin Block inhabited by rodents
“Well, it is true that the courses have been de-accredited but we’ve made the necessary presentation to the government for steps to be taken which could lead to the reinstatement of the courses. And the Akwa Ibom government is doing everything possible to reverse the anomaly.” Mr. Umoh said.
But a senior lecturer in school who preferred anonymity countered the principal’s claim. He stated that several overtures and notifications were earlier given to the government but they fail to act promptly.
” Both written representation and delegation have been made to the government to rescue and remedy the situation for long to forestall a total collapse of school but all entreaties fell on deaf ears. Even right now as I’m talking, the students have been sent home since early this year”
He Expressed concern that the current students who supposed to graduate this year would now have to spend two more years in the school.
“This place doesn’t depict any learning environment. There’s no library, no computer, all the classes suffer leakage during rainy days, even the hostels are not good for animals. The consequence now is that, the final year students may not even graduate in the next two years” the lecturer lamented.

Adede Victor William, an activist and one of the affected students expressed bitterness over the government insensitivity on the students’ plight.
“It is really unbelievable that since the warning was given last year by the NMCN, nothing was done by the government to prevent the de-accreditation of the the entire courses which prompted the closure of the school.” William lamented
The activist took his frustration to further to the social media even as he stated on his Facebook timeline: What kind of world are we now? AKBC, ATLANTIC FM, PLANET FM AND THE REST OF THEM ARE SO, SO BUSY DOING NOTHING! Busy carrying news that are irrelevant to the welfare of the public…But things that has to do with the future of others is a taboo to report. Imaging Schools of Nursing in Akwa Ibom State being shutdown by Nursing Council for several months now, yet no broadcasting cooperation commented on it”
When this reporter visited the school, it was already taken over by makeshift pentecostal churches with sounds of loud speakers reverberating in the school compound.

The difference is clear....

Wiseoldman:
Fashola is more like a president in his capacity as the Governor of Africa's 5th largest economy. He manages a complicated structure in Lagos.

Akpabio is more like a procurement manager, that basically just waits on exxon and FG for money. His only job is to decide what to spend the money on. The state has little structure to generate a sustainable income. If oil prices crashes today, there will be no water to hydrate that stadiums pitch. Plus Lagos has pretty standard multi-sports stadiums in almost every local government were masses have direct access. Besides how many Junior sporting events, principals cup, NPL, or division II matches would they play in the Uyo stadium..it most likely would be reserved for Super Eagles matches.

what a waste..

homesteady:
na wa oh! berem said the truth and you are rebuking her with a lie!
how can you say he has only commissioned few roads? like seriously? even on NL haven't you seen pics of many beautiful roads he has commissioned?
I suggest you should listen to his speech of yesterday!

1. His budgets are always over 100 billion more than Lagos state's budget and unlike Lagos with 20 million, he has only 5 million people to take care of. Why is Lagos commissioning projects everyday and apabio is not for years?

2. With that kind of money, there should be more than a few roads and 1 non FIFA regulation football pitch on the ground..

3. Some other states with less money not only built roads and stadium, they built schools, hospitals and many more..

4. With his largest budget in Nigeria, apabio did not build one single classroom

5, he did not build one single hospital

6. What is more important to the people than their health and vitality? A stadium that doesn't get used everyday, every week or even every month? Or a hospital that people go to everyday and every house to stay alive? Of what importance is a stadium to the common man?

7. The useless and misguided ego trip man did not build one single skills center for his people to get needed skills to secure better jobs and better life..

You have a serious problem if you think 8 years in office and a few roads with 1 single football pitch is great bargain for N500 billion plus yearly budget.

Apabio's budget is larger than Amaechi next, but Amaechi did not only built a FIFA regulation stadium, he built a sports complex with all the trimmings, he built some of the best schools, he built some of the best hospitals in Nigeria, he built roads, he built bridges, he built skills centers developed the state's agric system and so on...
