Like other people are saying, if you measure Fashola’s success by how much he has done, it would not seem that impressive. But if you measure his success based on the state of the infrastructure on ground when he started with respect to his accomplishments, he deserves every single accolade!

Here are some examples to put the discussion into proper context.

1. Obama’s kid gets admitted to Harvard and ends up being a world renowned scholar? I would say, good for her because she could have pissed away her opportunity!
2. A kid from the Niger Delta region wins a scholarship to Harvard and ends up being a world renowned scholar? I would say, wow, what are the odds of that happening! Maybe a movie should be made to chronicle the odds he overcame!

Here’s another: Bill Gates’ kid ends up being a billionaire won’t be that impressive, at least to me but a Niger Delta kid ends up making billions of dollars, legally?

See the difference?
