PoliticsRe: Fashola Launches Surveillance Helicopters by babapupa: 9:49am On Dec 10, 2009
Helicopter is for surveillance and relaying info to the team on the ground, not for shooting practice. They don't even do that in other countries.


Geezzz,

these people are not AGAINST anything but want to ensure that angles are covered and well planned out.

Using Heli to fly about in the air without ground forces is zero.



And if your ground forces are corrupt,  you are on your own; you only catch those who did not 'settle


And who will be using the heli? Nigerian Police or Lagos State 'Police'?
Na this kain thinking dey hold naija back I swear.


You know this because you are the state commissioner of police or you're part of the state's security team?

How do you move ahead as a credible society with self defeatist and backward can't do spirit and attitude?


What do you think the the RRS team on High power BMW bikes do? Just decorate Lagos roads.

What about the 114 patrol vehicles Fashola just dashed the police?


Do you honestly think advanced nations got everything right from day one by just snapping their fingers. How do you finish a hundred mile journey without taking the first step?


Lagos don get Police/ Thanks for sharing that.

The state government provided a platform for ordinary Nigerians and organizations at home and abroad to make contributions to the State Security Trust Fund by launching the Fund’s website with an e-donation payment engine and the Citizens’ Contributory Security system.

The money for the Helicopters came from the trust fund. It highlights the governors foresight and great sense of administrative and communal skills.

Lagosians don't live or have to live by other states standards because we have different realities and sense of obligation.

If Lagosians wanna hype their Governor, that's their business. Go hype your governor if there's something to hype him for.

What we can not afford to do is listen to backward thinking people and I'm glad these folks are not and will never be part of the decision making body at Alausa. If you do, they complain, if you don't, they complain.

The same people yelled and cried about maintenance and white elephant when Lagos state rolled out the BRT, well, BRT is a huge success and the buses are still out there and getting maintained at dedicated maintenance yards all over the state. The trees are still growing, the flowers are still blooming and the grasses are still green.

The way I see it, Lagos leads, the rest of the country including Abuja follows,

These are simply the breaks and realities,

Why must someone be a tribalist because he disagrees with you guys?.
You leave people no choice but to call you one because you discounted Fashola's efforts and claimed that other governors are doing better, but you failed to support your claims with documented facts.


I do not worship people, get it. Fashola is doing well but not as well as he is being promoted here.
The topic is about the best governor, not a referendum on Fashola. Making it one means you have to justify if with facts which you grossly failed to do.
First and foremost, he generates more internal revenues than others
Obviously one of the reasons many anointed him the best governor. It's one thing to have a good tax base, devising effecting means of tax collection is another. Na good managerial and professional skills.

does it not disturb you that Bola Tinubu who finished Lagos after Marwa is his God father?. You think Bola has no control over him and the contracts he is awarding?.
What's this got to do with Fashola and hen was the last time we here anything about corruption within the LSG? Why not just provide the vaguest evidence to prove your contract award crap? You can no substitute facts with innuendos,

I believe that if you look closely, you will see some skeletons.
Abeg borrow us your special Aloy Emeke skeleton discovery binoculars,  again, you can not substitute facts with innuendos. Talk about what you know, not what you don't,


Donald Duke was praised the same way, Orji kalu was praised the same way in Abia until after they left office before their apologists realized what they stole.
Who cares? we're talking about Fashola, stay focused,

I am tired of Nigerians for real, thats why I stopped going to the international section because if you say anything against Obama, you are a traitor or racist. You call me a tribalist whenn you can't even prove my tribe. How do you know the tribe I belong to? yeye.
We are all free to offer opinions, our opinions just have to be fact based, not what we think or feel, especially when other people's good name is on the line, it's always the sensible and adult thing to do.

Can you tell us, what kind of revenue Lagos is receiving that is more than other states in the south  eastern region? or if it is by population wise. The federal government of Nigeria declared Kano state to be ahead of Lagos state. i think by your assumption, kano state should be dictating the pace if they have what it takes to govern.
If you dont appreciate good things, you can never be good or may be you dont know the difference because of your poor background.

PoliticsRe: Best Governor Of The Year 2009 by babapupa: 1:21am On Dec 10, 2009
Funny how some folks here talk about how some states are not getting media attention like Lagos state, the fact is, these states are not buried underground or in caves. Who are you fooling? Knowing you guys, if you have something from your states to put up against Lagos, na rub you for don rub am for everybody's face. The only reason you are not rubbing anything is because there's nothing to rub.

Everything states do in terms of development and achievements is documented on their websites and you don't need the press to publicize roads and bridges  people walk and drive on everyday, schools that kids attend everyday. Lagosians don't need the press to tell them who effected the beautiful parks in lagos, the new roads with sidewalks, the new bridges, the beautiful and green environment, BRT and Lag buses, the new taxis, new freeways and construction boom including the 1st 10 lane freeway with BRT and and light rail system Africa and a well oiled professional administration. The media nonsense has got to be the silliest crap ever.

If you and your people are not seeing and talking about developments in your states, it simply means there's nothing on the ground to show or talk about, nothing for the media to report on, nothing. It's as if developments in other states are buried under ground and they need the media to go unearth them for the outside world to see and residents to discover. Please stop insulting people's intelligence and go look for some other yeye excuse.

After talking and talking about cross rivers, Aloy Emeka end up posting some ridiculous stuff about the states achievements from the states website, It read, Initiates, pay teachers salaries, elect council of elders, elect economic council, relocate, rehabilitate, Abeg give me a break.

Nigerians on NL should behave like people who are civilized and knowledgeable. They should stop living with sentiments but strive to work with facts. And in working with facts they should exhaust all the facts available and not hinge on one aspect of a body of facts. There is no complete COMPARATIVE rating of our governors until all the facts are looked at wholistically. For now, this is an academic exercise with no practical implication.
Why don't you state all the facts we haven't exhausted?

Babapupa,

Why you dey argue with people who have no substantial evidence to back up their claims. I have been following your arguments and all someone could post as development for a state is a golf course. Another one said Lagos is generating more funds from tax. What stops the other states from creating their own means of generating revenues.

For me regardless of tribes, In fact my state governor is the worst this country has ever produced. I think I will give it to Fasola. For those who said he's giving the money to Tinubu, I think you need to update yourself with recent happenings between the 2 over what Fasola is doing for Lagos. And for running to the press, if you re doing badly the press will report it and if your good exceeds human imagination they will report same. I'm not surprised at those post saying all sorts about Fasola, it is what democracy has come to entertain. Should Fasola be like our dear former governor of Nasarawa who kept the money for his state because he lacked  innovation?
Thank you and very well stated.

In my opinion, it's perfectly OK to show/display your regional pride, but at the same time you have to be sensible and realistic. Lagos is a light years ahead of other states in Nigeria in all aspects and questioning and saying otherwise is not only insanely ridiculous, it highlights a flawed sense of honesty. Just imagine, we're talking about a state administrator who is successfully managing a 20 million population state with every color and tribes from all over Nigeria coexisting peacefully and happily with almost the lowest crime rate in  the country and they're talking about some states with less than a quarter of Lagos state's population? It's absolutely ridiculous,


Even me entertaining such talks and comparing Fashola sounds like I'm insulting Fashola himself.

it would have been better to send them for rehabilitation instaed of deporting or "evacuating" them.
How many times do we have to repeat and furnish the same information to lay this to rest. The state built a rehab center in ikorodu to rehabilitate beggars, the fact is, these are professional beggars and they don't want to be rehabilitated.




Officials of the state Ministry of Youth, Sports and Social Development, assisted by mobile policemen, last week raided some parts of the state and arrested destitute, beggars and others for rehabilitation at Owutu, Ikorodu. The officials were divided into three teams. One of the teams operated around Ikeja and Maryland. Another team moved to Victoria Island, Lekki and Ajah.

But the beggars are not taking things easy with their captors. Recently, some officials of the state government taking a truckload of the destitute to the Ikorodu rehabilitation centre were attacked by suspected lunatics at Ojota when their vehicle had a flat tire.

Its either you are perpetually daft or you are from the most remote village in Ekiti state. I've told you before that I have better hospitals than that in my village and its no biggie.
And I', still saying you're lying simply because you repeat the same thing all the time, but you're yet to name the hospital and show picture, you must think your word is good enough to take to the back, especial a factually bankrupt person like you,

Trust me when I tell you that because I understand the medical equipment business very well; The equipments shown in that picture is not up to $5K[US specification].
We had this argument before and you couldn't even name any of the equipments,, infact, you mislabeled the only one you attempted to name. abeg stop, you don't know crap about medical equipment, I used to work in a hospital and those are the same diagnostic equipments you see in advanced countries.


Now, see how you just run your mouth just for the heck of it? Stating that the equipments are not up to US specks must mean that you've already traveled to alausa in lagos to check the tags and inspect every inch of the machines right? And you say you no get bad bele, lmao




If fashola built that hospital in every LG in Lagos, then you can talk but that cheap project is a no brainier. Anyway, I forgot I am discussing with BabaPupa who will pose with a bukateria built by fashola and liken it to a 5 star hotel.
lol. Hold yourself and quit the irrational talk, we both know there ain't no half better hospital like that in your village.



If you've seen the advanced world before, you will know that such hospital being advertised in the media for Lagos state is more of a dent on their image than a praiseworthy achievement. There are probably over 100 hospitals in Lagos better than that community infirmary built by Lagos state. I've told you my mind; If you think its bad belle, so be it.

What am saying is that what he is doing is not extraordinary and when measured with some other states on a balanced financial scale, he may not be outperforming them. I don't do hero worship; my own is to praise you if you do good and point out your flaws when necessary. That is the only way we can move ahead.
You're free to say whatever you want or claim that other governors are better, just be ready to be challenged and willing to come up with documented facts to back it up, something  you still haven't done and till you come up with something, it's nothing but bad bele.

I hate it when people start playing tribal card in other to prove that the other party is envious.
When you talk talk talk and needlessly criticize with no facts, it's bad bele. Abi your favorite pastime is just to open mouth for nothing?

If Fashola builds road in Lagos and I am from Taraba, will I be banned from using the road?. Wouldn't he be saving me money because my car won't be going to the mechanic workshop?. The same is applicable to other states. The moment Africans start thinking outside the box, the sooner our redemption.
In the same breath, the moment some of us stop needlessly winning and complaining unjustly  about good people, the sooner our redemption and prosperity. You do it all the time.


You complained about the hospital before, you complained again today, why? why? why? it pains you so much that Fashola built such a lovely hospital?

And you're saying it's not bad belle? what is it? You just hate new hospitals, especially the one built in lagos state by afashola?

Chime built roads, hospitals and even went further to do a 100% reconstruction of the state university.

Believe me, Fashola thrives on media hype but that doesn't mean he is not doing well after all half a loaf is better than no bread. I can't believe you added lagos bus?. why not include Akala in your list of praiseworthy gop your argumenvernors because he did that too?

I am oblivious of Fashola because Tinubu who embezzled the state put him there. There is no way Tinubu is not making serious money out of that and this media hype may be to confuse people like you who are dedicated apologists no matter what.

Going on and on about the media sounds redundant because it's one thing to drag the media around, having something to show the media is another thing, Of what use is the media if you have nothing to show? It's common sense. Obviously Fashola is doing something hence us having pictures to post everyday.

There's no need to drag the media or force them to take pictures of his achievements, it's out in the open, you can not miss it. Peop see new over head bridges, new roads, new buses, new parks, tees and flowers, street lights, almost crime free environment and sane society.
