My Observation;

Anytime the issue of performance is addressed in Nigeria, Nigerians has the very terrible habit of tribalising the issue.

Example: When obasanjo accussed Atiku of stealing PTDF money, Atiku never denied it. His defence: Obasanjo is also  a thief!
               
               When Bankole was accused of misappopriation, he has not denied it. His defence: EFCC cant prosecute him unless AGF authorise it!
               And some "yoruba elders" said Bankole is being victimized because he is yoruba man!

When are Nigerians going to wake up from this dumb conundrum!

Concerning Fashola and GEJ, while Fashola  is busy palliating the people, Even Arewa and Sultan and NSCIA have advocated the use of force to suppress Boko Haram. Why is Jonathan still setting up panel round the place?

Is he not the C-in-C?  Remember Fashola does not even has power over the commisioner of police!

Conclusion: IMO, I give it to Fashola.

""Will I still meet true believers on my return?"" Jesus Christ

why this very probing question from our Lord? or what could have motivated this rhetorical?

I am just tired of the whole ruse.

I grew up attending CAC pry school and St John Grammar school, all founded by the early christian.

If not because of St Loius catholic hospital, owo Ondo state, possibly I would have been dead and buried. A wonderful father in that church was the angel God used to nurse me back from the from the land of the dead!!!

yet i was a muslim at the time!!!

So when i grew up, i want to know the jesus and God of these these christian more. possibly these led to my conversion.

Which kind of pastors do we have these days? our churches are run like corporation than true churches.

before the "dont talk evil about men of God" advocate will reply to these observation, Why didnt Joseph Ayo Babalola transfer all CAC church properties to his family? Or Baba Akindayomi of Redeemed? because they dont have children to carry on?

What do we have now? the founder is the president, mama GO is the vice President and the children of the founder are all member of the board.

Soo funny. our modern pastors are just capitalising on the extreme poverty and ignorance of our people to fleece the miracle-seeking congregation.

Do U hear the joke about the nigerian preacher that was invited to a church in Germany. The man of God asked the member of the church that want a "car miracle" to step forward. Nobody answer him.

Surprised, he pastor asked his host why nobody want to miraculously have their own car.

His host replied that owing a car is not a miracle. You simply walk into a dealer shop and tell them when and how you can pay for any car of your choice. Pronto, You are a car owner!!!

Imagine the same alter call for a "car miracle" in Nigeria. The pew will be filled to the brim.

God save us from the men of God!!!

Will I still meet believers? i wonder why jesus asked this terribly probing question.

This was awolowo solution in early 70's

""""Awolowo, a first-class economist, exuded confidence in his country and himself because he knew his onions and how to fine-tune the engine of the nation‘s dynamic oil-rich economy.


Gowon expressed his regrets about Awolowo‘s departure from the cabinet. It is true that the elder statesman had pushed many controversial pet schemes dear to his heart there after the war when the second 5-year National Development Plan was being produced. For example, Awolowo pushed hard for the introduction of free education at all levels throughout the federation in the post-war era. He countered the figures supplied by the Department of Federal Statistics in buttressing his point that the nation could afford the free education of its citizens if the political will was there. But he was defeated in the cabinet on this crucial agenda when it was put to a vote because the will among other ministers to embark on free education was not there.


The chief had demonstrated clearly that the free-education- at-all-levels campaign was not a game to be played only to catch votes at an election by asking a federal executive council of which he was the second-in-command to embark on its implementation. Awolowo deposed:


As Commissioner for Finance in the federal military government, I was a one-man army in the Federal Executive Council fighting for the inclusion of free education at all levels in our second National Development Plan. I fought relentlessly for three long days, even though I knew the military would be the beneficiaries of public applause if my proposal was accepted but I lost.


He lost because there were few who had the foresight to back him up in the cabinet debates. Gowon was indecisive on this matter as in many others. In any case, Awolowo had tried his best to help him keep Nigeria in one piece. That was enough and he had to move on.


In a 1985 interview, Awo reminisced: ”I could have been in Gowon‘s government until we were all thrown out. But I resigned. I advocated for free education at all levels. The money was there in plenty but I lost. And I said to myself, what am I doing here? The war is over. The national emergency is over. I have made my contribution. Why should I sit down here when there is nothing more for me to do?”


In his response to Awolowo‘s resignation letter from the government, Gowon said:


I respect your maturity, objectivity, and sagacity, all of which you placed at my disposal. Your outstanding performance as this government‘s Commissioner for Finance during one of the most critical and turbulent periods of our history will always be remembered. You displayed consistency, great courage, forthrightness, leadership and a spirit of understanding which helped us to get out of our financial disaster."""

The presidency has raised a secret committee to investigate last Thursday's bomb blast which rocked the Police Headquarters in Abuja, killing eight, wounding several others, and destroying 77 cars, a security source said yesterday.

The committee, which had its first sitting at the office of the National Security Adviser (NSA) at the presidential villa yesterday, will also probe all recent explosions around the country and recommend measures that could be taken to check the spate of bombings.

The development came after the presidency ordered the Inspector General of Police, Hafiz Ringim, to call off his planned press conference on the bombing scheduled for yesterday morning.

A police spokesperson, Olusola Amore, had said on Monday that Mr Ringim would address journalists to update Nigerians on the progress made in the investigations into the incident.

But a few minutes to the commencement of the event, Mr Ringim was summoned to the presidential villa, first to explain what information he planned to divulge to journalists, and later to be part of a high profile meeting where the decision to set up the inter-agency investigative panel was taken.

At the villa, the national security adviser, Owoeye Azazi, a retired General, reportedly upbraided Mr Ringim for attempting to brief the media on the incident without clearing from him and the president.""

The presidency has raised a secret committee to investigate last Thursday's bomb blast which rocked the Police Headquarters in Abuja, killing eight, wounding several others, and destroying 77 cars, a security source said yesterday.

The committee, which had its first sitting at the office of the National Security Adviser (NSA) at the presidential villa yesterday, will also probe all recent explosions around the country and recommend measures that could be taken to check the spate of bombings.

The development came after the presidency ordered the Inspector General of Police, Hafiz Ringim, to call off his planned press conference on the bombing scheduled for yesterday morning.

But a few minutes to the commencement of the event, Mr Ringim was summoned to the presidential villa, first to explain what information he planned to divulge to journalists, and later to be part of a high profile meeting where the decision to set up the inter-agency investigative panel was taken.

At the villa, the national security adviser, Owoeye Azazi, a retired General, reportedly upbraided Mr Ringim for attempting to brief the media on the incident without clearing from him and the president.

He was ordered to suspend the briefing until he receives an order to do so from the presidency. The source said last night that top presidency officials would rehearse with Mr Ringim and guide him on what to say to the media about the incident.

The meeting equally prevented Mr Ringim from holding a scheduled meeting with police commissioners from the federation. The meeting was billed for the Louis Edet headquarters of the Police.

"The presidency was worried that the IGP might make reckless statements at the briefing that might embarrass the administration. He can proceed with his plan to brief once the presidency is clear about what he would say," another source said.

The secret committee

The investigative committee is made up of representatives from the office of the NSA, the Nigerian Intelligence Agency (NIA), the Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA), the Directorate of Military Intelligence (DMI), the State Security Service (SSS), and the Nigeria Police.

The sources were unable to provide the names of operatives representing each of the agencies on the committee. Mr Azazi's office is coordinating the activities of the committee.

Spokespersons of the security agencies were unwilling to respond to enquiries on the matter yesterday. Marilyn Ogar of the SSS declined to speak on the telephone but confirmed that she had been in a meeting at the NSA's office all day. Yemi Ajayi, spokesman of the Police, did not respond to telephone calls and text messages.

The committee is expected to unravel the circumstances that led to the spate of bombings in the country. Between October 1, 2010 and today, more than 10 major bomb blasts have occurred in Nigeria, mostly in the northern region and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, leaving scores of people dead or maimed.

President Goodluck Jonathan also had a meeting with governors from the south-south region on how to sustain the fragile peace in the Niger Delta. There were only five governors at the meeting, as Governor Godswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom State was absent. No official explanation was proffered for his absence.

But Governors Rotimi Amaechi (Rivers), Adams Oshiomole (Edo), Timpriye Silva (Bayelsa), and Liyel Imoke (Cross River) were present at the meeting.

Last night, the security situation topped the agenda of the Nigerian Governors' Forum meeting held at the Rivers State House in Abuja. Rivers State governor, Rotimi Amaechi, is the chair of the forum.

Apart from security, payment of the N18,000 minimum wage which the governors have said is impossible unless there is a change in the revenue formula, was also discussed. The governors are desirous of avoiding a nationwide strike which labour unions have threatened unless the new wage is paid by all the state governors.

Kwara State governor, Abdulfattah Ahmed, who was at the State House to see the president, said security is paramount in the country now.

"We had a private discussion on the Boko Haram. We know that it is not a good sign and a good omen for Nigeria.

"What I think we should look at is the factors that led to it. We must look at factors that are leading people to be engaging in suicide bombing. I think it is going to be more in our interest to look at it from that angle. We must look at the social problems that are leading to people engaging in suicide bombing and other allied issues.

"I think it is going to go a long way in giving us the solution. It is a very unfortunate situation, but I think it requires a lot more look from every angle," Mr Ahmed said."""

Must we set panel for everything? GEJ will soon set up panel on nominating ministers and then another panel on assigning offices to them. MARK MY WORD!

My humble observation:

Eko ile and other Fashola backers has never started any post criticising orji Uzo Kalu, Theodore Orji, Saminu Turaki, Rotimi Amechi, Timi Silva, Jonah Jang etc

Why is only Fashola that is being haranged evryday on this forum?

Lagosian gave Fashola over 80% of their votes in 2011!

Fashola was the campaign material in Acn in 2011 i.e Go and see what Fashola is doing in Lagos"

Most (NOT ALL) critics of Fashola are non-Yoruba OR even non-lagosians!

Eleko himself, Oba Rilwan Akiolu, has not condemned the young Man nor any other white cap chiefs.

Why are some people being holier than the pope?

Is there a petty jealousy simmering under all these attacks?

FINE FASHOLA IS "MEDIOCRE" BUT MAJORITY ARE HAPPY WITH HIM (1.5 MILLION VOTES) IN A FREE AND FAIR ELECTION!

Fashola became governor in 2007. Imagine if Jakande lofty achievement has been carried on by the progressive untill Fashola come in!

AGAIN, MAIDUGURI DOOR IS WIDE OPEN. POSTER RELOCATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are very right. Fashola is too overhyped especially the ungbati people.

The solution? Relocate to Maiduguri!!!!!!!
