Lorax:
I don't know why people keep praising Ambode, the only roads he keeps fixing are those In the high brow areas. Have you gone to Apapa, Olodi-Apapa, Festac, Satellite town just to name a few? The roads there are terrible. Just pass through Oshodi-Apapa express way and see things for your self.

browniex:
please don't reason like this,fashola transformed lagos from a ragtag dirty,chaotic,and crime ridden place to a livable city,his performance was holistic and commanding, the results are everywhere, Ambode is just applying the paintwork to the beautiful sculpture put together by fashola.

Ambode's budget is N813 billion, 2 times larger than Fashola's budget, but Ambode is still preoccupied with road patching and overhead bridge when Fashola was not only building roads and bridges, he was at the same time building hospitals, schools, housing estates, power plants, maternity centers, water words and so on.

Ucheosefoh:
So if you did not curse you will never make a point abi? Ambode working rate dwarf Fashola, take it or leave it.

Ucheosefoh:
The state governor is fulfilling the promise made to the town Ogbunike in Oyi local government area on road construction.

Here is how a young man from the town shared the good news.
Oyibo ababatago Umueri.

#Willie_is_the_man.

They said there is light at end of every tunnel. For long we have been l glamouring for road. We got much promises but no fulfillment but #Gov_Willie have done something different in history of Ogbunike. It may be late but what matters is emekwa ya ka odimma.

You are free to channel your votes were you like but my vote is for #Willie.

Coming from ipob villager wey dey celebrate village footpath you call road by a governor with no meaningful achievements apart from the same MOU signing that jokers like you celebrate on NL.



Nna, abeg face your village and ugly village roads.


These ipob villagers sef.

you really had to go through my profile to bring out a post from a different topic to an unrelated issue



really


immature minds on this forum r too many


if you r used to ojodu Berger youll simply applaud the job well done n then stfu


instead of spewing trash n condescending to hatred



if ambode is performing below per n yet remains the best working governor currently then it reflects how miserable the society is n in turn how fellows like you are

[/s]


Your ipob mentality reflects on your posts on NL hence me highliting it to show people where you are coming from.

Like I said, worry more about your village abeg.

Bobby4090:
How much has Fashola paid you to articulate all these lies. If he Fashola was that good why hasn't he transformed the power ministry which he kept blasting Jonathan for. Shows he was just over rated. The truth is that two years of Ambode has impacted Lagosians more than 8 years of Fashola. To the extent that even PDP and Bode George acknowledged that the young man's achievements has totally swept them off.
Fasholas incompetence and his jealous of Ambode has made him not to do a single work inside lagos state as the minister of works and housing. All the delapidated federal roads in lagos which Fashola kept begging the federal government to do before has now been purposely abandoned by him. Shame on Fashola. Ambode is a gift of God and the best thing that has happened to Lagos recently.

[/s]



Please state facts and not sentiments and emotions.

Fashola can not pay me to say anything good or bad about him simply because his achievements are there on the ground in form of facts.

Fashola remains the most accomplished governor in the history of Nigeria and we have facts on the ground to prove it with.

If you really have your own sets of facts to challenge me with or compare with any other governor, bring it on and if you feel like comparing Fashola's first 2 years with Ambode's first 2 years, bring it on or move on.

shinel:
Most Fashola's achievements are on paper.

Ignorance.

Light up Lagos. More than 365 streets across the state was light up including my area.

Ignorance didn't let you know that Fashola lit more streets and on top of that, Ambode is lighting streets with the powerplants than Fashola built.

Educate yourself abeg.

Roads. More than 114 roads projects, at least 2good roads in each 57 Local councils.

Fashola built more roads than any governor in the history of Nigeria
.

Security. Bought armoured tanks, helicopters for aerial surveillance and policing, Gun boats, armoured personnel carriers. Don't forget new police cars in hundreds.

Fashola did all that and more.

Ignorance also prevents you from knowing that the funds Ambode is buying all the gear from came from the Lagos state trust fund Fashola created.

Educate yourself abeg.

Revenue. He has generated the highest revenue in the history of Lagos State N289billion.

IGR was N500 million monthly before fashola, but it was almost N30 billion monthly when Fashola left and what you are crediting Ambode for came because of the strong tax collection system laid by Tinubu and Fashola.

Educate yourself abeg.

Food. Don't forget he laid the foundation for local rice production in Nigeria with Kebbi partnership, which the FG is now picking on, and about to produce it in mass to cover local consumption.

Fashola built rice mills and Lagos was growing more rice which is what Ambode should improve on instead of importing and rebagging rice from another state.

Improve on your own capacity to satisfy your people instead of importing. This is common sense, but your type won't know.

Salary. He pays workers salaries without seeking any bailout from FG. And also paid the money the state was owing pensioners since 2010 including Fashola's tenure which he didn't pay.

Stop lying, Fashola paid billions to pensioners.

Lagos pays N45bn pension ON AUGUST 2, 201212:25 AM

http://www.vanguardngr.com/2012/08/lagos-pays-n45bn-pension


Lagos pays N14.48 billion to retirees


http://lagosindicator.com.ng/2014/01/13/lagos-indicator-lagos-pays-n14-48-billion-to-retirees


Educate yourself abeg.

Emergency. 36 Mobile Intensive Care Unit ambulances, also provided additional 26 Transport Ambulances deployed across all General Hospitals. The ambulance service can be reached by calling the Toll-Free Line 112.

Fashola did all that and even built hospitals too

Where is Ambode's hospitals?

Power Generating sets ranging from 350 – 500 KVA as additional back-up sets across all our General Hospitals to ensure 24-hour power supply. In addition, 26 Mobile X-Ray machines are being installed at all our general hospitals across the State.

Fashola built 5 power plants and this one is talking about generator. Is this a joke

Housing. Have you not heard of Lagos rent to own scheme?
You can be a landlord or landlady in one of the estates across Lagos.

Fashola Introduces 'Rent-to-Own' Housing Scheme


http://allafrica.com/stories/201407090149.html


Abeg stop the rubbish, Fashola intri=oduce that and even built housing estates too.

Show us the housing estates Ambode built.

I can go on and on, not to talk of the countless ongoing projects across the state.

Ambode is a true reflection of what democracy is all about, bringing good governance to your door step.

Not to hear alone but to see with your face and be a partaker.

I give it to him!!!

Just rubbish

You know nothing about Lagos so keep quiet.

isick:
True about fashola tho, but at least will have to give Ambode some praise, even tho we voted them in to do that.

Ambode is trying per maybe other poor state's standard, but not par Lagos state standard.


Fashola's 2nd-year budget was N430 billion

Ambode's 2nd-year budget is N813 billion, almost doubled Fashola's budget.


If Fashola was able to do so much with almost half of Ambode's budget, why are we seeing just roads and overhead bridge?

sirconfidence1:
Abule-Egba is being speedily turned to Victoria Island by Ambode.

https://i1.wp.com/www.ilovelagos.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/wpid-maxresdefault.jpg




That was good for Ambode, but Fashola built the most beautiful and sophisticated bridge in Nigeria and West Africa.

LogicStatement:
All sectors are important & not be overlooked but no man can do them all. Ambode has set a target for himself ever since his administration came on board on 3 areas which are: infrastructure, security & employment creation. This will also form the basis on which he would be judged after his tenure. So far, I think he has not derailed from that focus & I believe he has a pass mark on these areas. This is just the beginning, more are still expected, he needs all the support from all of us

Yes, no man can do them all and we are not saying this man or that man can do everything, but we expect you to do better than the ones before you especially when your budget and income almost doubled your predecessor's budget.

He should be far far ahead if he really has substantial goals and vision instead of roads and overhead bridge after 2 years in office.

We should be seeing more housing estates, more power plants, more water works, more schools, more hospitals and futuristic developments instead just roads and overhead bridge.

janellemonae:
Are u minding these idiots here dt know nothing. Always spewing hate towards fashola. Some of them don't even know what Lagos looked like before. Even lagosians dt hate buhari wt a passion have nothing bad to say about fashola. He did a LOT. And those maternity centres are even better dn private hospitals.

When this country eventually gets restructured, fashola needs to be the first minister of the western region. True story.

They hate Fashola because they are still seeing red and mad and upset because Fashola deported their nuisance constituting people from Lagos.

One thing they can not do is show you anything meaningful their useless village governors are doing with their money.

Omofunaab2:
Besides Amosun can't cover every place at once. .Ogun state is big mehn, ilaro, abeokuta, sagamu, ijebu ode, ijebu igbo, ifo, ewekoro, aiaiyetoro, Ota, igbesa, sango etc..

But the good news is that work has resumed at alagbole, Akute side. .that place is very close to Lagos too. Ogun needs more development so as to benefit more from its close proximity to Lagos

Amosun was doing great, but the economic downturn slowed him down. Ogun state is just too big to reflect the government's efforts.

He's still not good at tax/revenue collection considering the state's huge tax base.

Good that all his projects are back on track.

stainlessnature:
why should Ambode build what Fashola had already built. Can't Someone look elsewhere that needs attention . Is governance now meant for competition? Bros think

Very shallow and backward thinking.

Do they have enough schools Lagos, hospitals, power plants, water works, maternity centers or is Lagos more developed than America where after almost 300 years of development and steady power supply they are still building new schools, hospitals, power plants and so on.


Please stop thinking like a 2-year-old kid.

LogicStatement:
Comments like this are unnecessary. Ambode does not need to build any of those things u listed there again since his predecessor has provided them, that's what is called continuity of governance. There are a million & one other things to be done & Ambode is trying his best just like his predecessors to add meaningfully to what he met on ground. Etesiwaju Eko lo jewa lo'gun

Lagos with 20 million people and thousands still trooping in every day doesn't need more schools or more hospitals, more waterworks, more power plants and so on?

Even inAmercia where they have everything that we admire, they are still building new schools, hospitals, power plants and so on.


In Fashola's 1st 2 years, Fashola was building power plants, water works, hospitals, maternity centers, bridges and building state institutions, he was creating valuable agencies and so on while Ambode is still lagging behind with almost nothing in form of visionary projects.


Continuity means doing better than your predecessor, not lagging behind your predecessor especially when his budget is the largest in the history of Nigeria and over N200 billion more than Fashola's largest budget. We should be seeing more than roads, but so far, what we are seeing is what we expect from poor states in form of basic projects lie roads and overhead bridge.

Ambode is trying per poor states standard, but not per Lagos state standard or like his predecessors.

mykelmeezy:
youre are the hater and ignorant folk here



you should know leadership is supposed to mean continuing from where your predecessor stopped and not erasing old progress to seem like the better person



grow up

What's this one saying?

When Fashola was leaving, he said he'd love to see his predecessor do better than him, this is what sensible and credible leaders say and hope for, but we have a situation where the new governor after 2 years remains far behind his predecessor's first 2 years.

If Fashola's first 2 years, he was commissioning multiple projects per week, he commissioned power plants, housing estates, water works, hospitals, maternity centers, skills centers drivers institutes, bridges, countless roads and so on.


And what is Ambode doing with his first 2 years? Overhead bridge, one bridge, and roads.

We are talking about facts and realities so stop bothering me with irrelevant emotions and tantrums.

mykelmeezy:
Biafra land of the rising sun



what a country it could have been


too bad we never got a chance to find out

And please, focus more on your biafra village where you have nothing to show for the taxes and allocations they collect from you.

IrradiatoR:
you didn't even mention Mowe, Ibafo, magboro, wawa etc

that Amosun should be ashamed of himself, being older and in government for much longer time than Ambode

Amosun can not be like Ambide because the financial realities and revenue in Lagos and. ogun are not the same..

The budget un Lagos is almost 3 to 4 times larger than the budget in Ogun.

By Ogun standard, Amosun didn't do too bad.

And by Lagos standard and available resources, Ambode is performing poorly and below average. Unlike his predecessors, he doesn't have any ground breaking projects or anything futuristic. After 2 years, he's yet to go beyond roads and over head bridge.

Oildichotomy:
You must be swallowing frog shiit to say that, You think I'm into the political ish you guys display here.

Who cares about Jonathan and his ilk?

Baba, be guided

Oildichotomy:
This guy is finally free for doing something treasonable in Bubu eyes. Since in Buhari's administration, almost everything is either Kwaruption or treason.

Your rant was meaningless simply because people are free to highlight and recognize the work of their elected officials regardless if you fancy same or not.

There are dedicated forums all over the internet where they showcase and appreciate roads, bridges and what you call crumbs so what's so different here apart from the fact that you are allergic to people recognizing what their elected officials are doing.

And going by your quote above, you are nothing but another hateful and bitter ipob. We know your type.

salford:
if you only knew the importance of ojodu berger. This area is a transport hub that connects people in a short time you to many places within lagos...its in a very strategic location. I grew up in that area and traffic was hell? There were countless loss of life on that part of lagos/ibadan express way. What has FG done on that expressway to prevent traffic accidents. Do you not pay federal tax too?

Like seriously, you comparing politics/developments in an advanced country to that practiced in Nigeria? You know the difference is like day and night.
In Nigeria, there are many governors that dont give a fuuuck, so if there is one or there are two that gives a fuuuuck. abeg let us praise him or them before he stops giving a fuuuuck too.

Can you kindly tell us the governor of your state of origin? it would be nice to know if he is one of the useless ones or not in the country

Well said.

zoedew:
Does he collect security votes? Did Oyinlola collect salary while he was Governor#weareprofligate

Security votes ends up in the state's account and not personal account.

This one na common sense.

Fashola's work is enough to fill more than 10 pages on NL, but Ambode's work can not fill 1 single page.

Fashola's work goes beyond overhead bridge and basic roads which so far is Ambode's preoccupation which is very basic and non ground breaking per Lagos standard, but no governor in Nigeria past or present can overtake Fashola's achievements because his body of work was very comprehensive and across the board.

I know hate and ignorance are the foundation of your comment so I do understand.

Chukwuka16:
I think we should look at this statement from a different perspective.

Is the governor trying to tell us subtly that they have developed a means of thwarting the BVN requirement for operating a bank account? Knowing fully well that the governor earns salary and other allowances and other 'allowances', it is imperative to begin to investigate how holistic the BVN exercise has been in curbing fraud. If EFCC has been able to hound a couple of folks by tracking their account balance using their BVN, then we need to know how certified 'thieves' with residences in .... have been able to stay under the radar. Let's not forget that these politicians have access to the bank hierarchy and are capable of anything. It might also be that the governor has succeeded in converting his loot to forex and storing it in a shack deep in the village somewhere in Osun State or wherever and so is no longer afraid of roving eyes.

People with inside knowledge should please enlighten me on alternative reasoning perspectives to the governor's statement.

In addition, I would want to finally admit that the operation hypnotize them exercise embarked upon by politicians on Nigerians (through delayed salaries and allowances to bring them under control, break their will and intimidate them) is becoming successful. If Aregbe could spew that nonsense before a cross-section of indigenes and people could not stand up and walk out or drive him away but swallowed the rubbish hook, line and sinker, then we should not expect much during the 2019 general elections. In fact, I make bold to say that we might even have worse leadership in 2019.

Are politicians now this bold in Nigeria that they have no fear of the populace again? When did a minute few become so powerful as to subjugate the will of tens of millions of persons with no consequence? What is happening to Nigerians?

Funny saying knowing fully well when in fact you don't know anything.

He doesn't collect any salary.

donmalcolm21:
Eleyi ti ya we re

You don't have to narrate to other people what you see in the mirror every morning.

mmsen:
Where does your salary go to if not your account?

Or have you been intentionally flouting the CBN's cashless economy policy?

In the age of the internet, data breaches and hacking these useless Nigerian politicians still do not know how to stop lying.

Isn't this how Obi was found to have lied about 'one watch'?

I’ve not received salary since I became governor – Aregbesola

The governor of Osun State, Rauf Aregbesola, says he has not earned salary since he assumed office six years ago.

He said this during the launch of Oodua FM in Ile-Ife on Sunday.
“When people complain about our financial state, I begin to wonder if they think I am spending people’s money. Some of you do not know that I have not received any salary since I became governor- of Osun state, why will I take that of others,” said Mr. Aregbesola, who became governor in November 2010

http://www.premiumtimesng.com/regional/ssouth-west/217773-ive-not-received-salary-since-i-became-governor-aregbesola.html

He's not collecting any salary.

The man challenged you to prove him wrong and you are sitting here talking rubbish instead of proving him wrong by showing us his so-called bank account if you really believe such exist or that the man his lying.


The burden is now on you if you don't believe him.


People/ipobs can be lazy and funny sha.

emmykk:
EFCC is too dumb...NIA DG said the money belong to his agency and you are saying fortfeit to FG.is there sense in that. seize govt money by govt mumu EFCC.

stop media trial dasuki media trial yield no result.just seize the money and the apartment let everybody hear word

Was the money stored with the FG or was recovered from private hands in a private property?by the EFCC?


Be smart and intelligent with your reasoning.

denko:
It is hate that kept Buhari in that state, He came for revenge and nature kept him in prison.

Stop narrating what you saw in the mirror this morning because we know many of you were raised with hatred and bitterness and this is what you project against other Nigerians.


If seeing another man alive is killing and destroying your soul, then maybe you should start questioning your own state of mind and existence.

topgear:
Continue believing in buhari

Who and what I believe is not the point, the point is how the man being alive is tormenting your existence and making you sad and unhappy.


Deal with the hate, bitterness, and anger in your heart because it's bad for your health.

MaziOmenuko:
Its quite unfortunate, yet they attend church meetings and pray for goodness and mercy to follow them all the days of their pathetic life!

Pathetic!

To tell you the truth, I actually feel sorry for them because this is what many of their parents passed down to them so this is all they have in form of social and communal interactions with other people and perceived enemies.

When you raise kids with hatred and bitterness, this is the result.

topgear:
I pity you. Your president is alive and every body is saying he is very sick and u see hin for 5 seconds and you are happy. You will suffer in poverty

So what he is sick? So, seeing the man for 5 seconds brings you sadness and sorrow instead of happiness?


We should be glad and happy like you people because another man is ill?

You people are just too evil and mean spirited.

This is what you get when you raise your kids with bitterness and hatred
