In the presence of Raji Fashola all other contestants are political migdets.

Well my brother,if youre really conversant with the polity in lagos as it exists then you will know that Raji Fashola is the true political midget in the face of the others with the exception of Femi Pedro. .he might have learned a few skills but the other contestants have a longer track record and stronger political bases. . .Publicity might favour BRF,but elections always bring last minute suprises that publicity can do nothing about. .However may the best man win

let's hope we get more entrants who didnt partake in 2007. . .but time is already running short

JIMI AGBAJE : This very promising candidate enjoys a lot of goodwill from the previous election and is one of those courting the support of Asiwaju |Bola tinubu.JIMI AGBAJE is a well renown pharmacist and business man .If the alliance between the AC and olu falae is to occur,jimi agbaje might just become the AC flag bearer for Lagos state elections positioning him strongly to become the next governor of the state. . he also has access to a lot of funds as shown in the last elections.

BABATUNDE FASHOLA :Current governor of lagos state is favored by the populace to continue in 2011. .although just coming out of a conflict with his former boss and corruption allegations still dangling round his neck ,it definitely wont be an easy return to government house. . .with incumbency and finances at his disposal and also the people's support,BRF as he is fondly called seems almost destined to remain.His achievements have being described as unpreceedented in the history of lagos.

MUSILIU OBANIKORO :The PDP in Lagos cannot afford to put anyone else at this point other than Musliu obanikoro or stand to lose the election. .Following the loss of this candidate in the 2007 elections and the subsequent factionalization of his party and arrest of bode george, chances of a victory are very slim. .M.O as he is fondly called by supporters will have to work extra hard against the formidable machinery of the AC in lagos state.Rumours of his drug activities in ghana where he is currently posted as an ambassador will not be helping his chances either. . however he will be one of the candidates sure to add excitement to the electioneering process.

MUIZ BANIRE :Two time commissioner in lagos Muiz banire has been favoured as one of those likely to take over the reigns of affairs in lagos if BRF decides not to re-contest.he is said to be very close to tinubu . .Although The legal scion has consistently said it times without number that he's not interested in the top seat,he is reportedly being pleaded with by top party chieftains,royal fathers and members of the general public to contest due to his achievements while at the transport and currently environment ministry. .Rumour mills have it that he's the brain behind most of the government's policies and is the conceiver of the BRT, LASTMA, KAI, OSHODI RESTORATION,BEAUTIFICATION and other initiatives.A candidate with his experience will definitely shake up the race

TOKUNBO AFIKUYOMI :Rumour mills have it that the guber dreams of this senator has been shattered owing to the yacht corruption deal dangling over his head. .He reportedly wants to avoid the spotlight so as not to have corruption charges filed against him. .he however has not fully dedicated his support to BRF which has made BRF's reception to him cold.

ADEYEMI IKUFORIJI :The speaker of the lagos house of assembly has reportedly been handed the guber ticket by bola tinubu. .Sources hint that the speaker is positioned to become the next governor as a reward for his loyal deeds to asiwaju tinubu since he left office. . .|The speaker has embarked on town hall meetings and familarization tours throughout the nooks and crannies in lagos in a bid to drum up support in anticipation of the elections next year. . The AC primaries promises to be tough with an entrant as powerful as this.

FEMI PEDRO :Former banker and impeached dep governor of lagos is likely to slug it out with Musliu obanikoro for thePDP ticket to contest in next years elections. . .with no base or popular support,the tide seems to be rough for such a candidate.

lagos ac is about to pick agbaje for 2011 governorship race. . .if fashole doesnt like?he can go and die. . .enough of looting,brigandry and manipulation. . .lets rally around jaykay 2011

Dr Kitaun:
I was a confirmed Tinubu boy, now a confirmed Fash boy, I belong to mainstream AC,[b]

SHAMELESS BOY. . .WHEN WILL YOU EVER BECOME YOUR OWN MAN? ?**HISSES**

What caused his feud with tinubu?

he failed to renew tinubu's alpha beta deal with the government and was being evasive about it everytime tinubu brought the matter up . .this has been since nov 2009 when the contract expired. . .

why he failed to renew?

he had concluded plans with his partner in crime tunji olowolafe to register a company and use their company to collect lagos tax instead. . .they were planning on jacking up the percentage

why tinubu was furious enough to begin impeachment?

fashola's greed and adamance has almost cost AC anambra as there was not enough funds to pump in

how they settled?

fash has apologi\ed and renewed alpha beta. . .

FASHOLA . .saint or SINNER?

ngige is the next governor of anambra state

all amounts listed are for two years?

noted. .thx for the info

Bludeville:
Corruption is CORRUPTION. There's no in-betweens. Just because a governor has brought 'immense change' doesn't give him the right to do whatever he pleases with the taxpayers money. If the allegations are false,he should prove it, simple and the matter ends. What's the use of a silly backside demonstration?? How does it prove that he's not corrupt?

Please help me tell them my brother

skyone:
David, these people dieing for FASH have been charmed

They will soon wake up. . .it's only a matter of time. .

desgiezd:
This is so refreshing to hear, I hope that by now people like "Forpeace (?)" would carry their hatred for Fashola elsewhere

my brother,im for progress and transparency. . .i absolutely dont hate anyone

My brother,you took the words right out of my mouth. . .youve said it all. . .never mind that noone is responding yet. . .NL is full of alausa jobbers and hanger ons. . .even the owner of NL wont put up any thread concerning Fashola on the home page despite all the media blitz the issue has generated. . .Some NLers have degenerated and come to accept a work-chop-cracy system of government. . .highly appalling

All of you that have spoken in this thread have a history of speaking in support of fashola passionately so im believing all of you to be familiars or unfortunate victims of his shenanigans. . .i however will not be fooled into thinking that public support on NL is entirely in favour of fash. . .you see what you pple have done is play a very old rule in the book. . .suppress the minority and litter the place with the same cock and bull fash stories so it seems like the general consensus.

most of you are either staff,family or contractors. . FASHOLA is still a crook and now i consider him a coward with the way he has been begging for non-impeachment all over the media this past 24hrs. . .something that appears inevitable when you go through his crimes again.

Trust Madam waziri to turn it into something else thereafter . .Old lady must get her recovery 10% . . .the old lady must wack too.

@ekonibaje :2011 belongs to God. .i know jim agbaje is a good candidate and there are other lots who can contest election. . .fashola can also be gullible enough to accept a ticket from pdp and if God helps him and he wins its his luck

babapupa you are collecting salalry from him so there's nothing logical you can spew

My people see this governor again at his highest heights of propaganda. . .Rather than answer to the corruption allegations levelled against him and his office he embarks on a propaganda campaign to make it look as though hes been vicitimized. . .buying up student crowds and destitute youths at the rate of 2000naira per head and disturbing the peace in the state?

they are reportedly suppose to demonstrate at the commissioning of city hall later today. . .shameless governor . . .the same city hall that was mentioned in his corruption report

Also, the Tinubu administration awarded the construction of City Hall for N2.3 billion. BRF only changed the floor tiles to marble tiles and increased the contract sum to N5.2 billion. This project was increased by 126%./quote]


There's your hero. . .clinging to power at all cost. . .disturbing the peace. . .fooling the people. .but for how much longer?

@OP
If Fashola is full of deception and criminality Pls what would you say about Ibori, Akala, Aondoakaa and others

if you are blind to realise that Lagos is becoming more known internationally than ever during fashola's tenure

[/quote]yes lagos is beng known inernationally because they have spnt a lot of our money trying to buy the international media. . .this international popularity you speak about is coming at an amount the state cannot afford. .rural roads need attention,roads need resurfacing. .

BRF recently gave a media-related Permanent Secretary, and some others the sum of N100 million to do a soap opera on himself. They are presently in London recording the film./quote]

[quote]Publishing of INDICATOR Magazine, is falsely presented to the public as a private magazine but is actually co-ordinated by Tunji Olowolafe and Hakeem Bello, SSA (Media) to BRF with government money./quote]

[quote]The SSA (Media) to BRF spent N183 million in 6 months on press coverage and on editors outside the approved budget but funded directly from the Governor’s Office./quote]

At this expense,do you still think that international coverage lagos is getting should replace infrastructure and basic ammenities for the teeming masses?

proudly9ja:
lol, lets see how dis will play out. Our prayers don dey work, the enemies have started fighting themselves. Keep it up BRF and BAT!

My brother,noone pays me. . .im only a concerned and vigilant lagosian pointing out crime where i see it

mbulela link=topic=390774.msg5429109#msg5429109 date=1265060759:
If a man like Jimi Agbaje complains about Fashola, i will listen to him but for you to make a statement and include Tinubu, misappropriation and accountability in one sentence about Fashola, diminishes the strength of your argument.
i have stated my view on this Fashola matter on another thread.i am not one of those who is blinded by his charm but the fact is that the myth called Tinubu is stifling the growth of Lagos state and the earlier he is cut to size the better fro the people of Lagos state.

Noone is perfect but fashola continually insults my intelligence with his false charm and propaganda strategy

OAM4J:
@OP, stop wasting your time. Eko o ni baje, Fashola must do 2nd term - I know that is the contention.

Even d blind & illiterates know that BRF is performing.

I use to love BRF like you till the publication that exposed him was released. . .im not deceived any longer. . .the little projects hes doing here and there are coming at a very outrageous expense

skyone:
Follow the link and you will see the projects of FASHOLA

Enjoy

I will go there now to see the wonders you speak about and at what expense they came about

[/quote]

ekoonibaje:
how will this all unravel? the battelines have been drawn and there is almost universal condemnation of tinubu's antics. however, will fashola survive if he is indeed guilty of these accusations?

Considering the authors of the revealing article that exposed fashola are not faceless and from what i understand Based on words credited to Hon Onibiyo Adelabu representing Alimosho 1,the authors are ready to come forward to present further evidence and defend their position as contained in the article. . .The only logical option is for fashola to resign now

We would get there much faster without your corrupt boss stealing our money. . .HE should resign honourably now ! !

The last few posters with the exception of objective thinkers like aloy emeka and ybab have displayed ignornce beyond measure and a very appaling level of stupidity. . .i wont be suprised to find out they are one way or the other connected to fasholas corrupt empire. . .

What always gives me the laffs is that the same pple that sing a bad governor's praises while in office are usually the first to start criticizing him a few months after he has left. . .they are the ones who have no sense of independednt ideology and are beclouded with the intrigues and mystery of the office of the governor and hence lose any meaningful sense of objectivity. .

When BRF is gone,i will be looking forward to hearing all your 'he told us so but we were blinded and failed to listen' . .and the time will soon cometh sooner or later,BRF and his corruption machine will be no more

why has magician fashola not cleared the shanties on the dumpsite? ?oh he's too busy looting and missapropriating money

Fashola the executive  governor of corruption has once again attempted to use the media in the form of celebrities and his raji fashola fans club,to attempt to hoodwink the people once again to viewing the white paper report indicting him as victimizing.

The report clearly and elaborately stating fashola's excesses and with full names and contact details of the authors is being carefully deliberated by the house of assembly. . .if after investigation fashola is found guilty not even a brad pitt rally or micheal jackson from the grave can save him. .

Instead of fashola responding to the allegations he's using celebrities who's only love and interest is money in their pockets to confuse the pple into thinking 'fashola is our person,whatever bad he does cannot be true' . .shameful for this governor. . .shameful. . .The assembly are the custodians of the law. . let them interprete. . .CORPORATE CORRUPTION IN THE NAME OF BRF MUST COME TO AN END. .we need to even further investigate how much was approved for this deceitful and misleading rally in question. .

What moral right has 9ice or dbanj got to speak in an issue as this? ?give me a rally led by the soyinka's and falana's and i'll agree. .

Fashola lacks ideas sef. . .he's so lost he needs pple of bright minds to survive this . , he obviously lacks them

chosen04:
I can you believe that Lagos state govt under Fashola has not found it worthy to even immortalise GANI!
Pls dont ask me why cos the reason(S) will shock you.

Fashola appears to be too busy squandering our money. . .his wife apparently travels with 30million naira cash as allowance for her trip even if the trip is to last only two days. . .if that isnt corruption what is? is she travelling to bring goods for sale or is she going to buy cars?

Justcash:
I have not been in Nigeria this year, but I have seen the change in Oshodi, I have seen beautiful street lights,  I have seen the decongestion of roads to make way for free flow of traffic, I have seen completed and nice roads (The fact the Tinubu didn't complete them shows his inefficiency), I have seen the intorduction of world class taxis (With functional meters) and air conditioned buses, I have seen traffic lights being obeyed, I have seen people using the fly overs more, I have seen an improvement in state police, I have seen an increase in state revenue, I have seen a gradual change of Lagos from a slum to a beautiful state, I have seen an actual step taken towards introducing an enviable rail system, I have seen a change of dirty and Notorious markets into markets with beautiful structures (Oluwole, computer village etc), I have seen construction of enviable structures and approval of many other ones, I have seen a gradual attraction of foriegners to cultural celebrations like Eyo festival and christmas carnivals, I have seen genuine moves towards changing Ghettos like Mushin, I have seen a proper global advertisement of Lagos state in good light,  See I can continue all Night.

Give that guy a Chance. Go and Fight OGD, MR Tura and Theodore Orji. Leave people that are atleast doing something!

Oshodi ,i give it to Fash. .great job there.although it took him 1.5billion naira to get it done?i could have demolished oshodi for 10million if i were governor

.As for roads? LASTMA doing their job friend. .LASTMA created by you know who. .A lot of roads were completed before Tinubu left office . .a bit too many too mention here. .there ones you see being newly completed had already reached an advanced stage before 2007 and all was already in  motion including funding. . so where is the Fashola magic here? apart from taking advantage of the uncompleted projects and using them as an opportunity to inflate already existing contracts for personal gains

The BRF government recklessly increased and paid over 60%  increase on the LASU – IBA road awarded by the Bola Tinubu government for N6.2 billion but was jerked up to N10 billion less than 2 weeks that BRF came on board.

Also, the Tinubu administration awarded the construction of City Hall for N2.3 billion. BRF only changed the floor tiles to marble tiles and increased the contract sum to N5.2 billion. This project was increased by 126%.

World class taxis? ?ok nice cabs. . .operated and financed by private entrepreneurs. .any big deal in that?anyone with money can do business with govt.

People had always used the flyovers since they were sternly enforced in tinubu's tenure . .

What markets are you seeing being transformed?in your imaginations? or the very much uncompleted tejuoso mkt which is a current subject of controvery?

till on Fashola & Lagos: Tejuosho Market Phase II is a Project Designed and to be built by MDMC for N2.3billion. The shops were to be sold for about N2-3million each.MDMC was forced by Lagos State Government to sell the Project to Tunji Olowolafe for a pantry sum of N35m (instead of their Claim of N152m). Tunji Olowolafe is now executing the project at N5billion and selling the shops at N6million each!

What are the imaginary genuine moves youve seen at transforming mushin? is it the mushin expressway tinubu awarded while in office? ?or what?

OP and his people should use their energy to fight the Governors that are busy stealing public funds instead of coming here and putting down a man doing his best to make his state better.

Im only trying to keep my governor on his toes and make him accountable so we dont fall asleep to his charms while he milks the state dry

ayettymama:
i will prefer a man doing good to swallow my money than a man doin nothing!

if fashola did absolutely nothing none of you would complain!

My brother,i dont want anyone swallowing my money at all. . better he return it to state coffers as unspent funds tilll the truly God sent person comes to use it wisely

babapupa:
Why waste my time on a couple of nuisance and illiterates?,

I know you work for the government here in lagos.i have seen your posts and pics and i can tell they are from the source. . .if you have projects to list here be my guest. , apparently you dont thats why the easy excuse.are you one of the pa's indicted in the report?

Also between January and June 2009, BRF’s Chief of Staff and PAs expended N290 million in sending TEXT Messages and phone CALLS on their lines.

skyone:
Nigerians are the creator of their own problem in fact they love to romance instability, currption etc they love it.

Forpeace rooted out how cunning this so called Fashola is and even went far as given you the opportunity to name just one project Fashola has started or completed; not a single person can name one, yet you all believe Fashola is the solution to Lagos problem. Why are some people so blind yet they claim they passed through secondary school at least or why are some people just cant reason yet they called themselves graduates, why?

FASHOLA IS CURRENTLY A FAILURE TO LAGOS STATE as long as he remain adamant  to the under-development of Lagos state. He is a silent crook.

and note he has several houses in Lagos, London and Maryland USA source sahara news

My brother,leave them to their ignorance. .i will not let a governor's charm and press purchase blind me from the truth . .as glaring as it is in the publication of last week.

aloy-emeka:
Of course every leader needs the media to strike his/her ego. I am not sure they were doing it due to sycophancy rather, I think they wanted to place him on a pedestal he can't afford to walk away from. That is the genesis of the problem he is having with Tinubu. He is trying so hard to live up to expectation but the powers that put him there could careless because they want their dividend back. Come to think of it, why should Tinubu want Fashola praised for the same job he never got any accolades for?. That will dwindle him and if care is not taken, it will also dwindle his political power and strnghold in Lagos state.

It appears to me that fashola bought the media on his own

@ Just cash:If i understand you youre saying that the likes of donald duke that performed also have to steal? ?i dont agree with you. . .but what about the case of fashola who hasnt performed and has been accused of stealing trillions?

if you say he has indeed performed while stealing pls kindly tell us the things he has done

ayettymama:
SOMEONE IS DOING OBVIOUS GOOD FOR THE SOCIETY YET U PEOPLE STILL COMPLAIN

NO WONDER THE COUNRTY IS BACKWARD AND THE PRESIDENT IS ON PERMANANT VACATION

BRF government awarded part of Western Avenue (Funsho Williams Road), about 2 kilometres road for N7.7 billion just between Abalti Barracks and Costain. And without the construction of any bridges, the project was carried out by Julius Berger. This project must certainly be investigated.

Yes he is fnishing projects but at an inflated amount. . .are you saying it is acceptable by you if a governor does a job but misappropriates funds while at it?

that is unacceptable by me

ilugunboy:
OP and his ilks,

Your paymaser surely have very bad sense of judgment to have recruited novices like you to do this silly errand.

For God sake, please get a better day time job and quit this silly thankless dirty job.

Go back to your paymaster{s} and tell them that NLanders are too discerning for this type of cheap talk.

Apparently your likes were not invited to debate here. . .we are seeking objective and independent minded people who can honestly state why fashola is over pampered and why even after five days he has not released any official statement about the allegations levelled against him. . .Like it has become a crime to speak about fashola. .are we not supposed to checkmate our leaders and check their excesses? ?is fashola now beyond checks and balances?

Your whims are stereotype ,cliche and overflogged.  .by paymaster i'm assuming you mean BOLA TINUBU. . .How foolish of you not to be able to come up with something more original. . .all the time derail the discussion and kill it by pointing fingers at BOLA TINUBU. . .such ignorance. .

Pls this thread is for people to genuinely speak abt how fashola's govt has improved society.  , what projects has he done? shikena! !


@ chosen04: youre probably right. .all the airtime they paid for on CNN and the likes are helping them

@ OP

See as people just dey ignore this your thread ! [/size]

my brother,people are not ignoring. . .im sure if they had any project to list they would have spoken. .apparently they dont have any projects to list so they respect themselves by not clogging the thread with junk unlike you

Lol I think its funny that no one ever heard or seen any post or atleast recent, in the political section by

Until this issue of Fashola vs Tinubu came up, not to mention Ive never seen anyone so much up Tinubus backside like these two or what ever.

my brother,i can not afford to hold my silence any longer as this fashola issue hurts me more than yaradua's. .the worst thing in govt is a devil who is pretending to be a saint. . .if turai and aondakaa could pretend and cajole the press as much as fashola do you think we would hate them so much?

It's amazing how people sing praises of fashola from morning to night based on what the media has fed them but right here and now when it matters,they cant name a single project in their neighborhood the governor has initiated on his own.

Fashola? saint or worst kind of evil? snake in the green grass?

BRF government awarded part of Western Avenue (Funsho Williams Road), about 2 kilometres road for N7.7 billion just between Abalti Barracks and Costain. And without the construction of any bridges, the project was carried out by Julius Berger. This project must certainly be investigated.

7.7 billion well managed can deliver schools and many rural roads. . .but instead it was mismanaged and used as a source of corruption in his constituency . .under the fraud of megacity

Fashola? saint or worst devil?

Dont worry the chief spokesperson (baba pupa will soon visit your thread)

Want you dont understand about leadership and governing is, it is not always the person that comes up with an initiative that always gets the credit,

if he doesnt deserve all this credit why all the praise singing and character assasination of the true owner of the projects?

Take example the light rail will most likely be concluded during Fashola, he wanted to build a new airport which was not approved, if it was approved will take years to complete.

Has the right of way of the light rail being mapped almost three years after he took office? and why is he so anxious to build an airport when it's not certain the FTZ will be a success?

Pls tell me a governor in Nigeria that you feel is more proactive

Tell me another Governor that has access to more funding

The BRF government within 6 months, January to June 2009 spent N420 million on hiring of private security – to guard who – despite his heavy investment in the Police Force through the State Security Trust Fund.
