Lagos most probably makes more money than say Togo or Benin, yet her governors are compared with governors from states like Anambra and Cross Rivers. . , states that make in a year what Lagos makes in a month. It is also striking that over the last 15 years or thereabout, Lagos administrators can only boast of increased reveneu generated through aggressive taxation without much to show interms of massive infastructural development inspite of the ever buldgeoning reveneu accruing to an over pampered state..

Lagos governors from Tinubu through Fashola to Ambode are grossly over-rated. Pure and simple. If you make them governors in Kebbi or Ebonyi, they will easily disappear in the thick of their massive underacheivement. The noise boils down to the fact that most editors of the media houses live in Lagos and are in bed with the APC political structure there. Otherwise there is no spark nor fire to excuse the deafening propoganda being churned out at the speed of light from Alausa.

How come all Lagos State Governors from Marwa to Tinubu to Fashola and now Ambode are considered WONDERFUL governors, and yet Lagos is considered one of the smelliest, ugliest, most underdeveloped big cities in the world? Aside Adisa that destroyed Maroko or so, all are legends. If they were all so so good, why does Lagos not have common pipeborn water and why is she the "PURE WATER" CAPITAL of the world?

Is it because of the power of the press wherein they as governors control the media and then perception?

Is it because Yorubas are very loyal to their leaders and while "dobale"ing lie too low to the ground to be able to see clear theft?

Is it because in comparison to say Kebbi, or Ebonyi, the Lagos state government's civil servant to population ratio is the lowest in Nigeria, perhaps the world?

Is it because Lagos state, unlike Delta state and many others do not even have to build hostel and such for their higher institutions? Yes LASU has no hostel.

Is it because private companies help the government employ her people unlike say Edo state and Osun who must create civil service jobs or die?

Is it because salaries do not take over 80 percent of entire revenue of Lagos state unlike Osun or Adamawa?

Is it because every spit by a Lagos governor gets maximum visibilty unlike a Peter Obi that had to bite a lion to death present it to his people to be recognized as the best governor in Nigeria?

Is it because governors of Lagos are Yoruba or Northerners as in Marwa's case and they are allowed to be thieves without consequence?

Is it because a Lagos governor like Tinubu and Fashola cannot be asked where is Lagos two helicopters or Floating hotel?

Or is it because Lagos state governors can do personal website for 78 million and build garages for themselves with Lagos money and MIRACULOUSLY DO NOT BENEFIT FROM THE PERSONAL GARAGE as Fashola opened his mouth to tell BBC.

Do other states have the National port, airport and all the factors that develop a state. Do you know what an international port can do for Warri or Port Harcourt or Calabar?

Maybe it is because with Lagos population, BRT becomes big business while Edo Line is a drain on govt pocket

Or maybe it is that the Lagos governor can seize any market, even get people to burn it and whatever investment made by the state to rebuild it, upon offering it to traders, it will be oversubscribed and profit made, unlike a Kogi governor who to build a market is not profit but drain on his finances

Or is it because just to employ people as LASTMA and KAI is big employment of the people earning praise cos of Lagos population and traffic congestion, while an Oshiomole employing people as KAI must throw away people's akara or else no kpaje for them.

Perhaps if Fashola is judged by his inexplicably and unforgiveably large loans and what he used them for, from TRAIN (he and Amaechi, no difference. Unlike GEJ they wasted money on trains that has no future. DUMB) to road to Benin Republic, and the interest that will accrue, perhaps they will not be so venerated. But of course, no papers dare do this or the building your printingpress is in wil be sealed for environmental sanition reasons.

Perhaps if Yobe governor has Lagos budget, and few civil servant per population ratio, perhaps if all the headquarters of companies can help Delta state employ her citizens instead of creating DESOPADEC and having the state employ asmuch of her graduates themselves, perhaps if Second Niger Bridge was already built by Federal Government using Niger Delta oil money, as so many bridges and fly overs and third mainland bridge was built for lagos by Fed Govt

Perhaps like Marwa, who retired from Lagos governorship and bought an airline.. JANKOLIKO LIKE HE,

Perhaps like Tinubu who removed a higher institution and seized the land and built TVC and shared the rest to APC chronies and with Fashola. And who now owns the nursing hostel belonging to the nursing school,

Perhaps like Fashola who is rewarded with three ministries, after making Lagos the most indebted non-sovereign state in Africa

Perhaps other governors can be heroes too.

Surely there is something deeeeeppllyyyyy deeeplyyyyy wrong when ALL LAGOS GOVERNORS ARE HEROES when common pipeborn water the poor do not have. It means something is wrong with the ratings and yardstick.

Judging Ambode by the bikes and cars he bought and using that to rate him is not the best yardstick. Like Akpabio, Like Donald Duke, what has Fashola or he done that shows vision for Lagos in thirty years? What would be the debt profile for the loans taken to achieve that? Is buying cars and bikes so difficult? At what price even? Was it above board and receipts shown to the public or just another thieving avenue for Godfather Tinubu and Ambode?

So cool down with the praise for Ambode. Like Fashola has proven as minister of DARKNESS, ruling Lagos is like boiling egg and claiming to be a good cook.

@ Topic, it's all about competence, vision, sense of duty and purpose which you can not buy with money hence richer states with less than 5 million people falling short.



Delta state with less than 5 million people busted all their IGR, allocations, derivations and all the extra funds like NDDC is the largest debtor state in Nigeria. They owe N700 billion with ZERO to show for it and they still owe salary all over the place.


It has nothing to do with money, it's all about the individuals you put in office to rule you.


Obiano has all the media in the world and he doesn't leave home without camera men, large delegation, microphone and loudspeaker, but it's all noise and cover because there's nothing to show for it..


Fayose is in the media everyday, he gyrates around town everyday with camera man and microphone and loudspeaker, but it's all empty noise.


Aregbeshola with all his money challenges still commissions more projects than all the states in Nigeria apart from Lagos state.

ba7man:
The best minds from all tribes are based in Lagos..... I believe.

They definitely can identify the right kind of leaders to protect their interest..........


Picture Fayose trying to gain popularity in Lagos with his stomach infrastructure...... he'll probably be sued to court and impeached eventually with such mediocre actions.

mhisbliss:
in as much as I'll love to standup for a fellow lady against police brutality or army brutality i know theres two side to every stories and the girl must have done something out of arrogance, and because she thought the man was a nobody, had it been he is on uniform the girl would have obeyed and avoided what happened

yedidiah:
Everybody will tell the story in a way that will present them as innocent victims.

We need to hear from others to authenticate her story.

Person no knw wetin to write sef. Anyway, he wants just sex from you. [b]If u need a serious rltnshp, go for a guy in his late twenties or early thirties. Most guys @ 23 just want to have fun and enjoy life. [/b]Shikena

funnynation:
To be sincere! From this girl side of story, it is very difficult for me to conclude that the soldier is completely wrong, trust girls especially celebrity, when the guy approached her the first thought will be that he want to toast her, so she may be doing all dis their ''like seriously, i mean doooor'' and the soldier man is not in mood to play. I don't support any form of beating a lady but untill I hear from the guy.

I could not have said it better. Nigerians were presented with two grossly incompetent fellows, while one had no idea how to move forward, the other was busy amassing 16 SANs to defend the fact he had no basic qualification to contest (SSCE or its equivalent) which further confirmed his inability to deliver on the people's mandate. To make matters worse, there was no debate and Nigerians gleefully accepted that and today, this is where we are and we have as yet not started.

Tosinayoko:
I noticed alot of Biochemistry graduates are out confused, some are even considering the option of going for a second degree in Pharmacy or Medicine. While some are considering the option of Masters, known that master program do not guaranty employment but increases the hope of getting employed.
The course seems not marketable.

beautyerhu86:
Did you read this part in my comment: Have you heard of Kafkas and Skinheads before? You see why I said you should do your investigations and research well before writing what you don't know. Just come to Russia and see how Nigerians are everywhere some are even married to Russian women for over 20 to 30 years and have never complained.

A typical Russian citizen will never bully or even abuse you, maybe there are some I haven't come in contact with but the ones I know have business with wealth and money. Yes there is racism in Russia but not by the real Russians. A typical Russian has "blonde hair" and not dark hair or skin heads. Look at the video very well and you will see that those guys are dark headed guys (kafkas). These kafkas are everywhere in the middle east causing troubles. You will also find them in some parts of Germany, Ukraine, Belarus, Turkey, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan etc. Funny enough these people can't have a seat of power in Russia. It's like Africa where we have fulani scattered all over causing troubles for us, that's how kafkas and Skinheads are. Many of them are illiterates compare to the real Russians.
Let me pause here for a while.

Tunami:
Hmmm, an adage says, " A man whom the gods want to strike dead they first make him mad". I don't know if i'm correct someone should please correct me if i'm wrong. And i know God works in a mysterious way. Lets just watch as events continue to unfold itself in time to come. And as for the zombies i think your zombie disease would have been cured by now, except you love the president more than his wife.

Bugatie:
Nice write up, aptly put and smartly delivered, but bros what makes you think man who doesn't listen to a woman he supposedly shares the same bed will listen to you here.

Let the outcry continue, Buhari must amend his ways and come back to the main business of making Nigeria better!

Mummy Aisha's outburst is typical of a frustrated mother who has the best intentions for her family, and I see nothing wrong in that.

This is a night/weekend of solidarity in support our amiable first Lady and wife of the president.

Pidggin:
This is when you will know those who are paid to defend the government.

OP, I dey follow you collect Buhari money every month?

Truth234:
To be honest, there are no valid points here except the number 2. When Obama administration appointed Hillary Clinton as a Secretary of State, it wasn't because she was the only qualified candidate for the job, but because of the mutual understanding Obama and Hillary share in terms of ideology to move the nation forward. I put this to you, if these set of people are passionate about Nigerian situation, how come they don't have common voters card? Hence, there is need to know your ministers reasonable enough, not just based on recommendation of some powerful inner cabal.

Again, she is not arrogant, she seems to be an honest person that is ready to call a spade a spade. If you are supporting Buhari anti-corruption stand, I see no reason you shouldn't respect this amazing woman for risking everything to safeguard the nation from certain set of people.

lajoshua:
lol..but seriously all these big stores affect the sales of the local market, any city they are located the local market suffers and the irony is the import even basic things such as fruits,pathetic. lalasticlala what do you think??

blackpanda:
Where is the insult in what I wrote?? Like I said, nigerians are fond of always nagging. System is not fair? Life is not fair! If u think its easy then go and contest. If u cant, allow those that can and[b] stop making noise[/b]

blackpanda:
I never said u shld be quiet. On d contrary, I said if u dont like it then go and contest. If u no fit contest then stop nagging at people that did! If u are hungry thats ur choice
