bla bla bla. what're you 15? i'm still waiting for you to tell me what "emphasy" means.

go ahead. impress me with your art of language.

Muize is currently Lagos state's Commissioner for Environment. He's great administrator and all around good guy. I know Fashola is fine but we're OK either way it goes.

slap1:
^^ would you rather believe he is fit?

kosovo:
Tergiversation by ElRazur has become more egregious and axiomatic by the day. . and his inability to Pooh-Pooh in the section has made him not to be taken seriously. His fuddy-duddy is also palpable.
  all his allegations tabled against me is completely apocryphal.

Pifa:
This is quite a long list of serious allegations. Even if some of them turn out to be baseless, as I expect (e.g. the commotion over the luxury yacht that fizzled no sooner than it bubbled up), the allegations need to be investigated by a non-partisan investigator who is not an employee of the state. The Lagos press, too, must pursue vigorously every of these allegations to unearth any veracity to them, if there are.

One troubling part is the frequent mention of a Mr. Olowolafe and his success in repeatedly scoring contract awards from the state government. Is he really that good? And why should questions not be raised about his coziness with government officials? If Lagosians are not seeing the two recently-purchased helicopters in the sky do what they were purchased to do, shouldn't the government be compelled to tell the people why? There is a long list concerns about state expenditures and wasteful spending that need to be brought out in the open.

I would expect the Fashola “Amen Choir” to come out and challenge these allegations as witch hunt by Fashola’s distractors. But no one can dispute the fact that transparency is missing from governance in Lagos. Even the little community where I live in the US could not buy an ordinary fire engine without fielding questions from taxpayers about the procurement process. Fashola cannot talk up the game of democracy without following its script. 

The Fashola government does waste funds and will continue to waste funds until erudite taxpayers are given the opportunity to peer through government processes and challenge ineffectual projects. This is not to say that people should expect perfection from government; that will be unreasonable. What matters though is the magnitude of those “imperfections” and the frequency with which they occur.

There is a lot of money in the coffers of Lagos state – well, relative to the Nigerian standard of wealth – and no doubt, many of these contractors see the state as a springboard to business success and wealth. Reliance on government for business should never be a sin. The issue here is the quality and value of goods taxpayers are getting in return.

Nigeria the PRAYING nation.

If Nigeria Wins, this would be our 8th Bronze in the Nations Cup. No other team even comes near.

It still beats me hollow how Shittu makes the bench regularly at Bolton

mike oscar:
Is possible that Kanu may have won us most of the matchs we lost or struggled with? It was His pass that created that goal!

henry101:

I believe the great mistake obasanjo made was endorsing Yar'adua instead of Atiku Nigeria would have experienced continuity and at least we would not be in this mess.

Come 2011 Atiku seems like the ONLY Northerner that can put Nigeria back on the right path

babapupa:
See cry babies, good to know Fashola effectively blocked Egunje alleys, lmao

blacksta, it doesn't matter how many times you repeat it, you are not a lagosian, you're not a Tax paying lagosian. Maybe in your dreams but you're not.
