To Trump’s demand, Buhari pushed back, saying that while a lot of Nigerian oil was being sold to the U.S., American trade barriers also posed obstacles for Nigerian farm products seeking markets in the U.S.

In my opinion Fashola is elitist ,any monkey that does not like it can eat shitt
I don't owe any idiot my time or effort. I do what I like with them.

Yoruba4Life:
Good to know.. I thought he was an okoro 'pig'.

I got zero chill for their nonsense, I swear!

aribisala0:
My view is that Fashola and their cohort is elitist no monkey or his father will change that.
So any disgruntled monkey and his father can keep swinging from tree to tree and shrieking incoherently it changes nothing

My only concern in this NA VS Executive face off is that Nigerians know who their real enemies are. When you have a Senate where almost half the members are either under EFCC investigation or currently being prosecuted, then you know there is real trouble. These guys are trying to hold the rest of the country to ransom. The Senate deliberately refused to table the Budget today because Saraki is claiming he is being blackmailed!!! He will want to use this to blackmail the President when they eventually meet with the President. This is what has been going on since 2015!!! A senate where the members arrogate to themselves N125 billion!!!!! for nothing! They give themselves allowances unknown to law and keep it a secret between themselves. They extort heads of MDA's during budget defence and presentation.
I just hope Nigerians are on the right side of the fence here.
Saraki is not your friend!!!!!!
Saraki and his gang have refused to pass the budget since November last year because he is either busy with his CCT case or he is busy packing the whole senate into a bus to visit Melaye in the hospital. Nigeria has no budget for 2018!!!!!!
Nigerians please wise up. Saraki is the enemy!!!!

DreamersVille24:
Democracy is under threat in Nigeria right now.

The way my friends and acquaintances who voted Buhari act when they see me now, so remorseful but the damage has been done already.

So many of our youth are so intellectually lazy that they couldn't dig deep to find out this Islamic extemist of a president's antecedents.

The rest voted out of tribal and religious sentiments and I'm pretty sure they'll do same in 2019.

Can't you guys see we are headed for doom? Unless this country is restructured and every state of region becomes autonomous to a large extent, then another war will definitely break out before 2023 if Buhari wins in 2019.

It's bleak I must say but the Lord of hosts will bail his people when the time comes.

aribisala0:
I am not really sure what your point is beyond trying to earn your pay check

My opinion is that they are elitist. You cannot change that.
I do not care what you think and have no interest in changing your opinion so if you think your family members or elders at home are ranting go and tell them

For me Fashola is neither a leader nor a visionary and he and his cohort are elitist who look out for their own personal interest first.
They have not done anything to develop Human capital in Lagos state

aribisala0:
Listen I am not here to argue foolishlly or endlessly.

My view is that Fashola had some positive points but in summary the general outlook of his government was elitist that is my opinion. I remember the slum evacuation and his commissioner telling people who have been there before Fashola was born to "go back to where they came from"

It is idiotic to summarize that to say "because he did not train teachers he was elitist"

Did I say so?
Now you say I used the term elitist to insult? No if I want to insult I caan do that quite comfotably. Open a dictionary. This is the education we were talking about

Fashola did not train tens of thousand of teachers please stop talking nonsense. What training dd he give them . Does it have a name or output qualification at the end.
How many LASG civil servants can use a computer?

My point is a very simple one not just with Fashola but the governed and the governors in Nigeria and I focused on Fashola because he was called a leader. We need to focus less on so called "projects" and invest in our people. Not only do we need to invest
We need to sit down and formulate a strategy of how to educate and train those kids who are now still under the age of 10 to make them competitive in a globalized world. That is visionary leadership

I saw no evidence of such thinking from Fashola whose vision is tunneled into their "elitist" Mega City project.

Nigeria needs to invest more in quality human capital developmen that can be objectively measured.

If you train 1000 teachers what did you train them in? For how long. Who did the traning and is it recurrent or a one off? Were the teachers evaluated afterwards and how did they perform. Were they certified?

LASG went backwards in WAEC performance under Fashola and there is no objective evidence of any Human development strategy apart from noise from idiotic paid hacks and propagandists who come to places like Nairaland to make noise.

Are you even from Lagos State? Do you know Lagos State?

What dd he do to rehabilitate area boys?
Where is the output of the skills acquisition programme. This programme that had no vision ,no investment and is as good as dead

Nigeria: Now the Area Boys Are 'Born Again'! Rehabilitated Lagos Urchins Graduate


AT the onset of the administartion of Governor Raji Fashola, SAN, of Lagos State, news was all over town that urchins known as area boys were being raided by the government to rid them off the streets of Lagos and to be put in an Island where they would not be able to escape and, by so doing, would get serious with their lives.

It was a welcomed idea from Lagosians as they knew if these miscreants were off the streets, harassment, theft and hooliganism at the various parks, bus stops and markets would stop. Since that time, I had been looking for opportunity to see what exactly the state government had in stock for the urchins since it is not getting them off the streets that matters but getting them to get something doing.

Where were you when Buhari talked about 97% vs 5% ??

This Contract is in fulfilment of Federal government’s plan to complete the Lagos- Kano rail modernization Project which was started in 2006 and broken into Segments for implementation in 2008

LIE LIE GOVT.....Whata shame!!!

laudate:
In fact, I feel hurt when I think about Ogun state. By now it ought to be a mini-Lagos. Can you imagine, that Ogun state also has extensive waterfront along the Ipokia, Iwopin, Ibiade & Ogun waterside area? The state govt should encourage massive development of resorts, estates, hospitality outlets etc, along the shoreline in those areas, and invest in water transportation, to encourage people to commute by boat & ferry, from Ogun state to Lagos.

I hear there's a concrete jetty in Iwopin, and the distance from Iwopin to Epe & Lekki in Lagos Island, is less than an hour using a speed boat, and about 2 hours with big local boats.

Efewestern:
I still don't know Why the refinery wasn't sited in Ondo as earlier proposed , At least Ondo has the natural resources to run the refinery, Everything must not be in Lag.

Ogun is another state to look out for.

aribisala0:
I am not quite sure I will call them "leaders"

They are elitist and cater to their self interest FIRST. People focus a lot on "projects" but their investment in human capital development or even recognition of need for that is weak

Just like Awolowo recognized the value of education someone needs to recognxe the nature of IT, its potential for separating countries into winners and losers and invest in that. Mathematics education needs investment as do apprenticeships of all kinds. We hardly see this all we see is concrete and steel but after more than 40 years in Nigeria Julius Berger still use Oyinbo Engineers who were born after Julius Berger arrived.

The reality is Fashola did very little in terms of education and health in Lagos.He was not focused on the same people he went round throwing presents at during Ambode's campaign
Lagos State does not have a water strategy and there clearly is no waste strategy

The transport strategy is speculative

daveP:
sorry to bust your pathetic bubble.... I'm Yoruba.... so please self deflate. This has nothing to do with tribalism. You of all people that seem to know Lasgidi well should know that 42companies owned, but BAT control Lasgidi to the core. And that's cos they are the 42 the media wants us to know about. Stop hoping onto the pathetic tribal defence thing. No everyone comments that way.

STOOGES OF THE BOURDILLION LION.

THE FALL OF THE JAGABAN

NOT ALL "B-A-Ts" SEE THE FALL.

Nigeria needs a man like Ambode.

Oceannaagent:
The iconic project Oceanna is missing from your list or is it only government project you listed.

Anyway learn more on how to own or be a part of this project by checking my signature.

The Oceanna was conceived to create a sense of hope and pride for Nigerians all over the World. It reflects an inspiring story about a magnificent Nation claiming its place in history.

DeOTR:
Indeed, everyone not in support of this lawless regime must be Ibo.
Keep it up.

Adelaide2:
Besides, the present governor of Borno State made a very similar comment in the recent past. Google is free, use it to verify.

daveP:
Anticipating Tinubu to hop on as the number one private company to bid and salvage ghetto stadium to its echelon profit making largesse.

babaolofin:
IBO people said they are not interested in Nigeria but complain whenever anything happen that does not concern them. Old Federal Secretariat at Obalende that would have been released to Lagos State during Obj is now dilapidated , wasted and an eyesore. National Stadium had been in a state of ruins for many years, these people who come to Lagos to make money has nothing to say. National Theatre & his environment stretching to Ijora, Iganmu & leading to Eko bridge that would have been an architectural masterpiece & tourists destination has been decaying for years in a state with little land with lagoons & ocean. Land cannot just be wasted in such environment, it is a very scarce commodity.

Both State House Marina & Dodan Barracks are no longer suitable for the Presidency. In future, a modern State House would be built in Lagos.

In those days when FG was fighting LASG over the control of Federal roads, the same FG cannot provide street light on those roads, but now, LASG provides street light daily on major roads. Reconstruction & upgrading of M/M International Airport road long abandoned is another feat of the APC administration. Oba of Lagos was right when he insisted Lagos must not be in opposition in the government they laboured to create.

Afamed:
Don't allow hatred to becloud your sense of reasoning. If there is any FG property in your state, that's lying valueless and useless. Kindly write your Gov so they also write the FG. So your state can begin to make use of such properties. As it stands , The stadium in question has been long abandoned over 15 yrs now. No one is making use of it as most of the facilities there are in deplorable condition. The stadium had long been overtaken by hoodlums who come to smoke and use the place for all social vises. Perhaps you might not know where the stadium is located. If the place is put back in shape, definitely it's going to be for the usage of all Nigerians irrespective of tribe and religious.
