Attorney1Lawz:
Well for those who dont havent gone through our legislation and are claiming right over a well established wrong am sure some time out with the Nigerian Evidence Act, 2001 AND Section (5) of the NIMC Act No. 23 of 2007 would be sufficienct guide for you in case u in any position to advice these politician parties and persons who think they are above the law.

THANKS ALL
I have just browsed through the Nigerian Evidence Act 2001, It has about 230!! sections and it seems to be focus strictly on court administration ........i am not a lawyer oooo but sir with due respect can you draw my attention to the relevant section that has to do with the Biometric data being discussed. im trying to see the angle you are coming from.


S5 of the NIMC Act no 23 of 2007 defines the role of the National Identity Management Commissions and please permit me to copy and paste as follows

"5. Functions of the Commission
The Commission shall-

(a) create, manage, maintain and operate the National Identity Database estab-
lished under section 14 of this Act including the harmonisation and integration
of existing identification databases in Government agencies and integrating

(c) carry out the registration of non-citizens of Nigeria who are lawfully resident in Nigeria;

(d) issue a General Multi-purpose Identity Card to any person registered pursuant
to paragraphs (b) and (c) of this section;

under this Act and reproducing such information as may be required, from time to time;

(f) assign a unique National Identification Number to any person registered pursuant to
paragraphs (b) and (c) of this section and the National Identification
Number shall be incorporated into or made compatible with other existing
identity related databases or registers in respect of which information or data
relating to the registered person has been registered, documented or stored;

(g) ensure the preservation, protection, sanctity and security (including cyber-

(p) collaborate with relevant bodies and agencies in the setting of standards and
technical specifications for ICT links between organisations and for the devices

I am trying to relate this to the legality of taking Biometric data by APC....please educate and enlighten me

PS: A Fed high court has asked the SSS to open the Data centre and release the detainees....but the items seized were not mentioned

Can you kindly quote the portion of the Nigerian constitution that forbids other bodies apart from the census commission from taking biometrics?

I know banks, network providers and schools collect biometrics everyday, I can almost say such law doesn't exist but I will wait for you to quote or post here the relevant sections of the constitution.
Thank you sir,

You took the words out of my mouth...I saw the Attorney1lawz post yesterday but i held back in order not to derail the post but his post of today seems to point to the fact that taking Biometrics is illegal. I am also not aware of it is so we need to be enlightened. Attorney1law over to you. Please share the relevant portion of the constitution with us. Maybe the SSS acted on that

Banks , service providers (GSM coys), States, embassies , MDAs are all taking the biometrics

In my opinion that is the age of technology to provide next level security. Computers are now using finger prints to access data etc etc It will be counter productive to be illegal

How can you eradicate mutiple registrations easily without biometrics?

I did not say you must vote for Buhari....but I only advised that he can help you be something in life judging from your present predicament. Buhari is Socialist and he can take care of the mentally challenged.....You will be in a better place where you can drool and be happy under govt care.

There is a difference between force and advice! Consult that primary school they will help you.

There you go again ranting on about religion and politics in a civilised society when you know nothing about being civilised or stand for any values[color=#000099][/color]. Raiding oposition party's office is civilised abi? without investigation and intelligence?

Which educational institution did you pass through? If the DSS press release were to be an exam comprehension, is that how you will fail woefully? Did you read part of that DSS statement where it's clearly stated that court warrant was obtained before the search? Did you also read the part that says no inscription or signage of APC was conspicuously placed at the entrance of the office at the time of the raid? Why was APC discreet about the office if lawful activities were actually taking place there? It's even a criminal offence for an office or a premises to be designated as party property without signage or any other evidence of such. What further legality were you pontificating?
To answer your question ...many schools!......

But did you read the APC statement where in they mentioned that no one showed them a court warrant and indeed surfaced after the search. I do not believe the SSS at all as they are now purely political . Recall they accused a politician of offering them money in the last Osun elections....offering bribe as I know is an offence. Why did they not arrest him if it was true. The same SSS set up a politician who tried to collect bribe money from Otedola.

They slaughtered innocent squatters in Abuja the other day and lied that they were Boko haram, they claimed they were shot at!

The SSS has expanded its work scope to include all other govt agencies and this is making them look very bad

bottom line i don't believe them and there is a moral and political side to it. The court warrant may have come after the fact or they should publish it.

What you say about APC being discreet about their office is a matter of choice. The data collation centre is not meant to be a public place, one of the requirements of data collation is being in a secure environment.....not open to unauthorised access. It is not Illegal for APC to be discreet about its data centre. If there is a provision of the electoral law or constitution against it let me know I will read it up and revert.

Would you arrest a man because he is wearing dark glasses on the streets and looks suspicioushuh?? or a man who moves at 3am should be automatically regarded as a thiefhuh?

The SSS is one of the last powerful and professional institutions we have left and it used to be the pride of our nation but they have been taken out by our politicians same with the army. If the police carried out this raid I would say ok because police has lost any capability of intelligence gathering and professionalism. They are the official tout and thug arm of PDP pas displayed at the national assembly last week

SSS should work with intelligence and I wait and watch as they have the burden of proof to show the nation that the Voters cards were being cloned.

Oh you called the register a mere internal document of APC which does not have connection with 2015 elections? You are wrong. Have you forgotten how Aregbesola and Osun State chapter of APC boasted of their membership register which they used and are still using as evidence of their popularity and electoral success in the last elections? Do people of Osun need to begin to question such register? Is that themembership register APC is arming itself with to accept or reject outcome of 2015 election? Is that why INEC discovered ghost voters of about 1.5 million voters in Lagos State register?
Sir, I followed many of the electoral cases in the last election and I want you to go and consult a lawyer.....membership register in the law has nothing to do with electoral results and actual voting.

The State (in this case the FGN as the lawful tier of government) has the responsibility to ensure voters are registered and registered once. They are required to deploy the needed technology or process to make this happen and ensure one man gets to vote once. In 1993 ,when we did not have the current day technological capabilities, the government adopted option A4 to curb multiple registration and voting took place simultaneously nationwide and it was by physical counting of people.

Based on the foregoing if a party boasts of 300m members out of which 100m are doubles ....the INEC should ensure that the biodata captured screens out the 100m from going near the polling booths. Even if a party has 300m registered members there is a very slim possibility that all 300m will go and vote on election day.

My point is that membership of parties only stops at the threshold of bragging and campaigns. Hence membership list of a party has nothing to do with the outcome of votes / elections. Afterall ACN delivered Jonathan's presidency in the SW state except osun in 2011. Unfortunately Ribadu was used at that time. I think party registration is strictly an internal affair and all the SSS has said is consistent with party membership registration.

I disagree with your so called Ghost voters because I am one of them and i know about 100 other people in my pressure group who voted at the last elections and we suddenly could not find our names on the register and our cards consequently. Strangely we were all Buhari supporters. I am suspecting that some of us may have been deliberately disenfranchised but it is still a suspicion. However I am really worried that SSS has developed interest in APC membership list. We will see the drama unfold and see where it will take us.

I used to respect the SSS as an agency that stood out but unfortunately politicians have killed them. There is something called intelligence gathering and infiltration.......why have they put these in the back burner and now use brute force?....in the past SSS was faceless but effective even as NSO....now they have seen the benefit in politics and joined the band wagon.


This democracy as we have it offers no hope but a bleak future.

Illegality can never be legal even though we already have security challenges. What APC has done is illegal and no amount of selfish interest will erase their senseless mistakes.

APC as a party isn't stable,so are there supporters and candidates,you, boladez , have an instability issue as well,I guess that is why you belong to the wrong side . APC is filled with envious and greedy candidates likewise supporters. Better seek for the truth from wise people before potraying yourself as a janjaweedian.

Ordinarily if the government were alive to its responsibilities it should have made a law to support children with psychological disorders and down syndrome. People like you should be in a special home for down syndrome and have a right to be well taken care of and protected from a intellectual discourse on Nairaland. You should not be allowed to run loose like this otherwise you will end up dancing naked for kids in your area one day......

Seun I think it is unfair to allow the mentally handicapped, junkies, low lifers and NFAs to debate and discuss in the main politics section they should have a special section created for them so that they can rant and exhibit their prognosis on the key board as we have seen in this guys post. They have a right to express their illness when the effects overwhelm them.

Send me a PM I will help you get an internet modem and pay the subscription so that u don't have to make your family suffer again.

However its the shallowness of mind and lack of coherent thoughts that is the problem.

Of course the unintelligent and irresponsible will continue to dominate our political landscape because the process can rarely accommodate Upright, intelligent, resourceful and productive people.....

Voting is tailored to be inconvenient and a do or die affair , elites will find it very difficult to vote during the upcoming elections. Why can't we just walk in register and similarly vote to encourage all to vote? I assure you all only the political class who will walk straight to the voting tables and people who have been paid to vote will have the strength to vote. This will give room for manipulation and godfatherism.

A big shame indeed that such an intellectual state will end up with a Governor and political class that stand for anything but intellectualism and order.

Our current democracy is headed for the rocks, unfortunately there is really no end in sight.

johnxz: HACK ATM AND BECOME RICH TODAY!!!!

Hello everyone. There is a new way of making cash, although it is illegal but also a smart and easy way of living big. I used to be a barrack girl until i became eager and decided to change my life one way or the other. I got opportunity to register for the militant amnesty through connection thereby taking me out of the country for training in the United States for a period of 3years. To cut the story short, during my training i made some white friends who were geeks and also experts at ATM repairs, programming and execution who taught me various tips and tricks about breaking into an ATM. with my knowledge gained from my white geek friends, i have been able to counterfeit and programme a blank ATM card using various tools and software's. I have ready-made programmed ATM cards; I am just 29, my family are in USA and i have cash, i have a car, i live in malaysia and i travel all around the world. i do my things on a low-key to avoid suspicion. Some of you will wonder why i am selling this out if truly i am already living large. It is because it is hard task doing it yourself, i wont lie to you, its not easy to hack ATM talk more of to reprogramme the card alone and be able to get $40,000 each day. It takes days and sometimes weeks. Some of you will want the ready made card to avoid the stress of doing it yourself and i don't give the ready made card out for free because i spent days trying to make it available for you. e-mail me. janeashley333@gmail.com for request of the ATM NOTE: the ATM card has no pin, no registered account number. It has no limit for withdrawal and it is untraceable. janeashley333@gmail.com
OP , you have succeeded in waking up a two year old post and also successfully proven that the Amnesty programme was a bad Idea not well managed.

You have proven that a man with a criminal mind remains a criminal, you have proven that some youthful Nigerians are on the path of destruction irrevocably and will contribute nothing to the future of Nigeria.

I support Capital punishment for crimes like stealing, robbery, fraud and not to talk of Militancy and killings. Ordinarily you should have been 6 feet below causing problems to your hosts in hell rather than to those of us in Nigeria.

Moderators , Please take action .

Politics › Re: The Full Text Of Gov. Fashola's Inspiring Speech That Rattled Aso-rock by boladez(m):
anonimi: Again you show plenty of CONFUSION in your post, which I will try to address a few salient ones.
In the past when wages were low, how much were the political office holders & appointees like governor, LGA Chairman, state legislators and LGA Councillors receiving as their own pay. If you do not know go and find out then compare with the situation in Nigeria today. What I am talikng about here is not just increasing minimum wage for workers.
No!

I am talking about having COMPARATIVE wages for expected productivity and relative value creation by all CATEGORIES of workers for the SAME government, whether they are civil servants or political office holders.
If you still do not understand what I am talking about go and find out the minimum wage in the US and the salary of a Senator and Congressman compared to Nigeria's N18,000 vis-a-vis N29 million shocked


Sir, I have checked and the min wage in the US is roughly 18kusd to about 180k usd, but what does that have to do with Insecurity? .....Maybe if you can express your thoughts coherently I may be able to follow your line of thoughts. Pls don's loose sight of the discussion. Can you coherently detail the effects of this disparity on the state of security in Lagos pls?

Your talk about comparative wages for expected productivity and relative value creation is big grammar hanging in the air. I suspect you are a government employee or career politician and I ask you.....are civil servants giving value for the current wages? You need to think big as an administrator and a leader before you can understand what I say in this regard. Remove your mind from the worker and slave mentality. I think civil servants current earn too much for the value they give at the moment.


You must be really shallow in your thoughts to give example of people sorting out refuse and "hustling" for hard work yet you talk about absence of values in the society. What kind of "hustle" do you think those guys are doing? - borderline crimes huh Such that they are willing tools for political THUGGERY and murder when needed for some crumbs out of their own cake thrown at them by the likes of Fashola and his party's "field agents" angry


I have given the example of the lower echelon of the society who fall well below the poverty level to demonstrate that crime is not the only way to survive. Ask any grassroot person around you. The boys who break in sweat to eat will never be found in political thuggery and note recycling of refuse as I have mentioned is not borderline crime, there is dignity in Labour and that is the message most youths of today do not understand. The political thugs consists of lazy youths who most times want to sit and wait for manna from Alausa. They are ones you see on street corners at working hours smoking and drinking and womanising. The labourer in ketu market has no time to get involved with politicians.


Please tell us why any RATIONAL person will want to go to university pay Fashola's 250k tuition fees for four years to start "hustling" on Olusosun refuse dump when he can be a party "field agent" till he becomes LGA Councillor with almost 300k salary guaranteed for contributing absolutely NOTHING of value to our society's well-being. In case you do not know the eligibility requirement to be a LGA Councillor is "attended Secondary school" and 25 years of age.
No more! No less!!
So you see where the problem is huh

Think of it , the private and informal sector accounts for the highest number of our workforce.......not government. The are a million and one ways to eke a living outside government. Not everybody is bent on living off government hence who cares what the Councillor or political office holders earn? It is not a contributory factor at all in the current level of insecurity. Not all of us aspire to be field agents and political appointees. you can make better money in the private sector (aside the money they steal in political office). The US you mention does not have career [/b]politicians as we do have in Nigeria. Only a civil servant or career politician will be moved by the disparity in earnings of political appointees and it just shows the deeply rooted resentment you have for them....are you a civil servant or a career politician?

Where did I say LASG should give everyone work? Again displaying shallowness of your thoughts. Go read what I wote here and elsewhere again and quote where I said government should give EVERYONE work.
I go dey wait oh sad

[b]Sir, that was an analysis to buttress the fact that Fashola cannot be blamed for Unemployment you mentioned in your post. As we go through this discussion try and keep your mind focused on the issue of Fashola being a failure or not. Try and keep it between the lines, focus now I know you can do it!


Do you understand the meaning of the word MINIMUM huh
Is LASG a minimum income GENERATING state? If not why should it stick to the minimum wage RECOMMENDED by the federal government based on the legislative work of senators and representatives, including those from Fashola's party shocked

Without a shadow of doubt you are either a failed civil servant or politician. Think like an administrator not a worker! still on the Income generating capacity; do you know the Akwa Ibom you talk about got =N=260b against 168b of Lagos (excluding IGR). how many civil servants do you have in akwa ibom and Lagos? The minimum wage of lagos state has no effect on the largest employer of labour (private sector). I need you to think outside the parasitic box of government.



And those buildings are invisible and have been so invisible for the past 15 years plus that Thief'nubu & Fashola have been in continuous charge of "their progreTHIEF" administrations? LASG obviously has not EMPLOYED enough Town Planning monitors to ensure adherence to ITS own laws. Don't you think so huh

First there is a human face to government and secondly there has been inefficiencies on the side of the town panning authorities. I agree and that buttresses my point that this country gets little or no value from civil servants


Let me throw your advise back to you and ask to google how the old town areas of European big cities such as London, Paris, Frankfurt were fitted out with TAP water despite being heavily built up like Ketu.

This is Africa and Nigeria, Lagos for that matter not Europe. Lagos is getting it right and will continue to improve with time to address the obvious areas of slack. People dont build senselessly in europe, here in africa , you can sell your setback for gains

Meanwhile your idol realises his COLOSSAL FAILURE on this count hence he his TALKING about water provision to ALL Lagosians by 2020 i.e. five whole years after he has packed out of Alausa House shocked shocked

He must really think we are all MUGUS like you taking excuses and collecting priviledge CRUMBS rather than asking that our BASIC RIGHTS be dealt with first.

I insist you cannot call BRF a failure except you lack knowledge and information. However there are lots of room for his administration to do more.

Thank you sir

However it remains an attempt and a very poor attempt for that matter.

Thanks for your specific comments;[i][/i][b][/b]

On the issue of security, you are looking simply at the SYMPTOM, rather than looking at the CAUSE, which is rampant UNEMPLOYMENT and even for those employed their INSUFFICIENT wages based on the miserable N18,000 minimum salary. Fashola and his LGAs are mostly responsible for the cause of insecurity in the state. If & when he employs PROFESSIONAL teachers, doctors, nurses, school/clinic/hospital cleaners, administrators and pays them a COMPARABLE wage with all those political jobbers in the SAME employment of the LASG, including himself, Speaker Kuforiji, other legisLOOTERS etc, you will see insecurity reduce as it is in all those oyinbo places where Fashola's FAILURE along with Thief'nubu in the past 15 years have chased many able-bodied & intelligent Lagosians to hide embarassed embarassed

Sir, I boldly say to you that if minimum wage goes up to 100k there will still be insecurity. Unfortunately you have not identified the REAL CAUSE of insecurity which is a total breakdown in our social system (lost values) . I say so because in the past Govt wages were low and yet the young ones would either learn a trade or go to school. How many young ones today know that hard work is the key to success? Are you then insinuating that government workers who are paid poorly are the ones stealing and robbing? They make be bribe takers but not generally thieves.

The real cause of robberies in Lagos is NOT poverty let no man deceive himself - there are many people who hustle every day in this town despite the odds and have not resorted to crime. Go to Olusosun refuse dump and see young boys trying to get a life, go to Lagos island and see young women trying to hustle and get a life, go to mushin, oyingbo and alaba see young men whom this system has let down trying to eke a good means of livelihood. Many of the younger generation want to drive big cars , wear designer clothes and flirt around with women , they join gangs and end up using the short cut i.e crime.

Do you know the number of people who troop into lagos every day because of the opportunities this state offers? are you telling me LASG should employ them all? comon.... the solution to crime is to fight it and make sure people do not get away with committing crimes, second thing is to fix power and basic infrastructure to enable local businesses thrive.

Finally,Minimum wage used to be a federal affair but even as at today the states draw their own min wage from the centre. You seem to be hard on the wages and that makes me suspect you work for govt. If you work for govt you should bury your head in shame because civil servants including the police account for 90% of our problems in Nigeria!

It is very sad that [b]you will say that installing pipes for [color=#990000]TAP water
provision will damage properties and roads YET you go on to say that the same roads should be done first before your smooth talking governor deals with a very BASIC and FUNDAMENTAL utility as TAP water shocked shocked
Why are you so confused huh

Well I am not confused about this and the gentleman I responded to knows the area and the challenges I have enumerated. Permit me to educate you;

1. Public Water supply is not piped with the domestic pvc pipes you see in your home they require planned major supply lines that will go into major areas for distribution.

2. The ketu area i was referring to is densely populated. Its practically impossible to put supply lines in those areas because our people have built as usual without common sense and regard for any town planning laws. Have you heard of the Lagos state urban renewal projects and the agency? do you know what they do? Pls use google
[/i]
Then when you excuse him because of population density, you forget that is the basis of collecting plenty Niger Delta oil revenue national cake every month from Abuja like some god-forsaken almajiri angry

I hope you will understand how to administer. Obviously you have no experience in managing , you are likely a good grumpy follower. I have no response to you on this comment because you have no understanding of how to run a business not to talk of a state. Have you seen the accounts of Lagos state ...NO, do you know how the money is spent....no......Pls check something called cost and benefit ; inflow and outflow . If you understand these basic concepts you will understand population density and the cost of managing it.
[i]

While this is not about comparing APC with PDP, just to indulge you why not check out what is going on in Akwa Ibom and Enugu state.
Sir, Pls also compare the Revenue, land mass, population and topography of the states.

I maintain that the LASG should do more but its quite unreasonable, wrong , biased or totally uninformed to call Fashola a failure.

the areas of improvement as mentioned by the other poster includes

The lighting of the ketu to ojota axis
4th mainland bridge
speedy completion of projects - Mile 2 badagry, light rail, ikorodu to ketu etc etc
value for money on projects the stealing is too much.

victor08: How on earth will you buy shoes online without seeing and even testing it. Nigeria's and their dumb behaviour. That is why you get scammed.
Sorry to dissapoint you, I have been buying my shoes from Laurens online for the past 2 years, good quality, prompt delivery and returning the shoues that did not fit was as easy as possible.

The fact that Jumia is a scamming site does not make all online stores in Nigeria scammers.
Business › Re: My Online Shopping Experience With Jumia by boladez(m): 9:15am On Aug 18, 2014
Jumia is the worst online store in Nigeria today.I have been with Jumia since 2012 and as at today I will not advice anyone to shop with them for the following reasons;

1. They have now become experts in selling substandard products
2. Dont ever imagine that the things you purchase on their website will be delivered as is...its likely to look and seem better than what they deliver to you e.g if you see a Polystar TV X111 they will take your order and deliver a cheaper model X011 for the same price.
3. Most time what you purchase will not be in stock they will market you to buy a higher version
4. Delivery is always sure to be delayed , that is a given!
5. if you even pay them before delivery be sure there will most likely be a story to follow and refund takes forever
6 Once they deliver and you sign and pay , you can never ever return the goods , you will get blamed for anything that occurs thereafter.
7. their customer service is equivalent to NITEl's. They dont understand customers
8. Your best bet ...avoid them!

Mark my words Jumia will go the way of Virgin Nigeria, HITV and Starcomms very soon . Corporate arrogance and lack of customer focus.
Politics › Re: The Full Text Of Gov. Fashola's Inspiring Speech That Rattled Aso-rock by boladez(m):
gymer: Thank you for your civil response. I I know Lagos pre 1999. I voted Fashola in 2007. Due to his performance in 2007, myself and family voted him in 2011. But since he started his second term, he has not live up to my expectations. I live in the mainland. Kosofe LGA. I am telling you that a city like Lagos should not have problem with the provision of portable water in any of its part. But in today's Lagos, that is a big task. There are no good roads in Lagos. Don't forget that Lagos is not just Island, VI, Ikoyi and Lekki. Even the so called VI and Ikoyi, they don't have good drainage system. When it rains, the whole place will turn to a lagoon. Am saying we have a lot to be done in Lagos. I do not belong to any political party though I voted for AD and ACN in the previous election. I want Fashola whom I voted for in the last election to tackle the problem of infrastructural deficit in Lagos instead of dinning with ex PDP thieves.
I agree with you that in terms of roads in Kosofe, yes LASG should do more but within Kosofe let me draw your attention to the following roads that the Fashola administration has fixed and repaired....I confirm I use these roads.

.Remember how that Agiliti (Opposite Mile 12 market) used to be . A huge refuse dump inhabited by criminals ...see what it is today

.remember how it took almost an hour to pass through the mile 12 market those days with traders selling on the medians and road check out how it is today

.remember all the side roads around Ketu bus stop were unmotor-able and now motor-able all the way to oladogba street, eleha and even the resurfacing of CMD avenue.

remember the resurfacing of Oluwakemi street and most of the adjoining streets. That is the major road that turns off at alapere

the ketu busstop has been transformed

Ogudu road and Ogudu ori oke road are there for all to see

Ketu toll gate road and many adjoining streets


On the issue of security , this is the work of the FGn and unfortunately Lagos state can only do so much. Can you believe that Ketu station has just 1 (yes ONE) patrol vehicle? and guess what , that is the vehicle given to them by LASG.

Water flows on the Ojota side of Ketu all the way to Magodo... the problem with the other side is the dense population and the extreme difficulties on running the water lines without major damage to property....again, these pipes are being hit by our people just for them to fetch water. My personal opinion is that portable water is one of our nice to haves in lagos. Almost every house has a borehole. Water is important but when we solve the issues of roads, power , security them we can tackle the wahala of pipebone water.

With the foregoing , fashola may be called upon to do more but cannot be said to be a failure.

Which ever way you look at it APC is well ahead of PDP in terms of real development I only pray things get better but its important for us all to register and vote for the right candidates in 2015.
Politics › Re: The Full Text Of Gov. Fashola's Inspiring Speech That Rattled Aso-rock by boladez(m): 9:42pm On Aug 17, 2014
ratiken: Fashola remains a political non-entity and does not deserve any attention from Aso Rock.

The game plan is simple, PDP will recover lagos state from tinubu come 2015. Jimi Agbaje will expose all the atrocities of Fashola and Tinubu; Fashola will end up in kirikiri.

No amount of balderdash and propaganda will save them.
...........and you imagine registered voter in Lagos or registered riggers as the case may be will watch lagos being handed over to a party of killers? Naw
Politics › Re: The Full Text Of Gov. Fashola's Inspiring Speech That Rattled Aso-rock by boladez(m): 9:39pm On Aug 17, 2014
gymer: Fashola is also a failure in Lagos state na. No portable water, bad roads all over the places, poor drainage system, armed robbers and touts on the increase, etc. why can't he faces the business of governing Lagos instead of always looking for platform to attack the FG? Despite the huge burden of multiple taxes we are facing in Lagos, we don't feel any government presence, yet the man in the helm of affair is running his mouth everywhere. Attacking the FG is not what I voted him for.
Errr Sir, I disagree with you and know you have the right to your own opinion.....right or wrong.

Just a few points;

1. You did not know Lagos Pre1999
2. Are you sure you reside in Lagos or neighbouring states? tell me your area and I will list out the lasg projects there
Security is the work of FG not the state but despite the inability of the FGN to provide security LASg has taken bold steps with the Security trust fund. Google is your bro
3.He is simply stating the facts and which one of these do you disagree with.
