If your accessment of his work in Lagos is as successful as you meant us to believe, why can't he continue his assumed good works in Lagos? Why do you want him to rule Nigeria that is ungovernable? Why wanting him to be vice president that means absolutely nothing than to shake hand at cocktail parties?
As the governor of Lagos, he is the guy, but send him to ABUJA as anything, he will just become one of the guys.
By the way, I thought that the Nigerian presidency is now turn by turn presidency and the south west have had their own turn through Obasanjo?

RSA:
I think when I was asking about Seun's popularity I was not refering to him being a celebrity,but I wanted to know if he is featured in current topics in your country.Like if there is a round discussions on politics,sports,entertainment or just general issues.I mean he run one of the mouth piece of Nigerian society.

But I gather that he's just an IT guy who's job is just to make sure that this site runs smoothly.

Gbawe:
Fashola for me. My choice is not based on his performance as Governor of Lagos State alone. I have looked at his general policies and ideas ,as applies to the entire Nation ,  in concluding that Fashola would be a great President.

Fashola believes in PPP - Public-private sector Partnership. This is the way forward for Nigeria. The involvement of the Private sector in Public affair aids efficiency because profit is a powerful incentive for performance. Contrast this with the current situation within which the FG , rather than involving a better prepared and knowledgeable private sector , incompetently insist on being involved with things it does not have the expertise to do well so that it can be "business as usual for some" and underdevelopment for the rest of Nigeria.

Fashola advocates the total deregulation of the power sector so that States can generate and distribute their own power. Currently , only the FG is allowed by Law to distribute power in Nigeria. This is a very sad situation as it means that even if , theoritically, Lagos Generates 2000 MW Lagosians may still not enjoy constant electricity if the FG fails/refuses to distribute what is generated.

Fashola wants State Police. With the complexities of Nigeria it is obvious that our nation would benefit from a system similar to that of the USA. The LAPD can fight crime using methods suited to the LA enviroment . Similarly the NYPD can do its thing tailored to New York's specific crime problems.

Fashola believes in true federalism. Nothing needs to be said on this as it should be obvious that, given our different regional endowment, abilities and outlook , true federalism should be the way forward.

Fashola appoints on merit. The importance of this quality cannot be over-emphasised given that 'round pegs in square hole' is one of the greatest impediment to our nation's development and what has now likely cost us a place at the first Soccer World cup being held on African soil.

Fashola, even as he is a Politician , does not dwell on playing Politics with Governance . We can all see how , to the detriment of Nigeria, Yar Adua has played politics with almost every major Government position. Akunyili as info Minister, Egwu as Education Minister, Aondoakaa as AGF and Anenih as NPA boss are ridiculous appointments for a nation that wants progress !!! Iwu retention as INEC boss when men of undoubted integrity , like Soyinka and Achebe , are still living shows the type of political expediency killing our nation. Fashola does not have time for that nonsense because he refuses to play politics that is detrimental to our nations development.

There are more reasons but I believe you get the gist. I respect Pat Utomi immensely and think he will make a good President also but Fashola edges it because , at this dangerous phase in our history , a proven performer is what we need rescue this nation from impending collapse.

Does it matters to Nigerians if man landed on the moon and drink coffee in the solar mantle of the sun.

This is politics section, we are talking about 70% of Nigerians living below the poverty line on less than $1 a day, who cares if they landed outside the milky way

vanitty:
Report has said by 2015, Lagos will be the third largest city in the world and more & more people will be using the airport
So why not plan ahead?
Solve future problems before they become present problems.
Should we wait until we actually need it before we start building it?
Having in mind it takes quite a  while to finish the contruction and actually becoming operational.
To crown it all is it not going to be privately carried out? Carry on jor and ignore the cynical folks.
