Fashola happens to be one of my fav leaders today in Nigeria.
But for some reasons I do not believe that at this time he has what it takes to lead Nigeria effectively and efficiently.
Leading Nigeria is a completely different animal/ball game. We are not talking about just Lagos, we are talking about the entire Nigeria.

Fashola still can't even handle Tinubu, how do you think this dude will be able to handle the northerners effectively?
Nigeria needs a very strong leader, who has the capabilities and charisma to be respected by everybody and reach out to the entire country broadly.
I'm very sure that respect for Fashola will not pass Ogun state.

I also think Fashola as a president will struggle when it comes to making certain decisions. Lekki toll amongst many other decisions is a very good example of weak decision by Fashola.
Lagos state remains the easiest state to manage in Nigeria, therefore it will be foolish to grade him based on his performance on managing the richest and easiest state in Nigeria.
I need Fashola to be the governor of Oyo state or Kogi state for just a year. I guarantee you guys that you will witness his weakness in less than 4 months.

Our armed forces have always been poorly trained, [b]so please stop fitting crimes on GEJ [/b]and behaving like Falana.
Would you kindly address Falana's disgusting behaviour? Do you think it is normal or are you just trying to deflect from the obvious?

Aigbofa:
What kind of government would kill 10 and 12 year olds in the name of putting down a protest!

Who cares about whether soldiers stopped him or not? [s]The man has proven himself to be the unevolved sort that halucinates about belonging to a superior race.[/s]

Beaf:
Nice speech from Fashola, even though it is highly unrealistic. The soldiers are likely to be around for a week or two.

Timehin:
Now the presence of soldiers made a southwest governors to address the people.

Politricks!!!!

Abeg phone the president, am not interested in all this playing to the gallery.

What happened when your govt impose toll on lekki epe express and protests ensued?

In as much as i do not support military presence but kindly direct your complain to GEJ.

dplordx:
LI[b]AR! List about 3-4 addresses where Agberos have destroyed and looted.
I think the Niger Deltans are the most racist Nigerians. Any small disagreement with their views, you are suddenly an ENEMY.
The same Lagosians that massively voted GEJ now needs to be shot for voicing their disagreement. Such poor judgement.
Anyways, I hope the Niger Deltans vote will be sufficient for GEJ come 2015 since its now US vs THEM. Thats all theyve been claiming since the protest started.[/b]

Any attempt or group of attempts by any person or group of persons in Lagos to undermine the authority of the government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria shall be decisively dealt with. Period!

[b]I have decided to address you today in view of the very disquieting developments that occurred overnight especially the deployment of soldiers across Lagos.

I have the highest respect for members of our military, especially because they have made a contract with all of us that they will willingly lay down their lives whenever it becomes necessary to do so, in order to protect us.

This covenant is instructive, because soldiers did not sign up to stop us from expressing our grievance about things that we are displeased about.

It is not disputable that the citizens who have gathered in several parts of Lagos like Falomo, Ikorodu and Ojota to mention a few have largely conducted themselves peacefully, singing and dancing while they expressed their displeasure at the way that we have taken decisions that affect them.

That in my view should not offend those of us in Government. The majority of these people who represent diverse interests have not broken any law. If they have, it is my opinion that in a constitutional democracy, it is the police that hasthe responsibility for restoring law and order if civil protests threatens the breach of the peace.

This is not justification for sending out soldiers to a gathering of unarmed citizens. Every one of us, or at least majority of us who hold public office danced and sang before these same people when we were seeking their votes.

Why should we feel irritated when they sing and dance in protest against what we have done?

For me this is not a matter for the military. The sooner we rethink and rescind this decision the better and stronger our democracy will be.

If anything, this is a most welcome transformation of our democracy in the sense that it provokes a discussion of economic policies and this inevitably may result in political debate.[/b]

If there is revolution, who will lose ? I am very sure it will better for some regions and even Kano will be worse for it

engineerd:
Its 2012, Let anyone try that and the story will be different! This is a fact.

Beaf:
Nice! Is that also why the armies website was hacked today? You guys might be in for a serious lockdown, its interesting to witness the levels of foolishness that Nigerians are displaying both in Lagos and elsewhere. Things like this always end bitterly.

U are mixing two things together here. Nigerians have the right to protest peacefully without molestation from soldiers. Ojota has been peacefull so far so why are there soldiers there. That is the reason why we have the NSA to apprehend those responsible for those hacking (if they can) or are u suggesting that those on the street are also responsible

You are in PH, so you should be able to verify that the ND is ready to leave at the drop of a pin; we would have gone already over this crisis, if not that GEJ is the President.

Infact this is an opportunity for u guys to leave. Ask the retardeen to convene SNC fast. If you guys cant implore your son to do this please keep mute.
