Yoruba_Omoge: Afam, is that why you tried to escape my "are you biased towards Yoruba" question?

Omo_Tier1: That rail line was completed years back and it was vandalized. Go to the NRC website and you will find details of that contract which was awarded during Obasanjo's regime and completed towards the end. Unfortunately, the steel companies it was meant to serve are moribund, and there is no major national railway line cutting across that region that you can link that railway line to to serve as a corridor.

taharqa: Abeg, add the COMPLETION of the 1st Standard Guage Rail line in Nigeria to that list. Yes! GEJ has completed the Ajaokuta-Aladja-Warri Standard Rail line. A test train pass tru it yterday and was shown on National TV. It wud be 'Keshi' all ova pretty soon.

taharqa: Hehehehe....*ilaughingarri*

Austine.E:
....for me,a governor that has recieved 8trillion in revenue and allocatn in the last 5yrs and yet his state still makes the list of the worst cities to leave on earth,is absurd and self diminishing!Fashola is a product of lagos media over-hype,partly because of his penchant for giving out brown envelops to media personels!..that also amounts to corruptn.

ndu_chucks: I also nominate olodo, Onlytruth.

Dalu o.

ikwere militant: and fashola took his from adolf hitler.cahsing d jews dat is greater dan dm out of jelusy in odar to take over

thelastPope: PPP means public private partnership. That means the government or public will have t contribute something which could be money, land, etc. Te 12billion is government's own commiment.
Fair....

And must you always use every avenue to campaign for Fashola? SMH!
No!!
I use suitable avenues and this is‎​ one...

the_ripper: Shouldn't you b more concerned about the massive robbery in Delta state, u seem to be head deep in Fashola's anus dese days. U dis pseudo-Deltan. Ask the pertinent questions without exhibiting ur servile flattery for Fashola pls.

take dat: Let Maku and his lackeys keep drowning in their own manufactured hogwash, while trying to justify their self accessed effectiveness! Oshiomhole's performance and good governance earned him his second term, Maku can continue to cheer the ballot robbers! GGT is a scam!

Dede1: It seems you lacked mental articulation. I know your backwater ethnicity does not have a leader or elder. Ndigbo may not have semi-autocratic leader but wise elders.

UYCO: Idiotic people who don't appreciate any good thing

UYCO: Garri x7, I return that curse to you. Are you angry that the governor has transformed Delta State beyond the imagination of the good governance team?

Donchris369: Boy, you are a Stupid boy that will continue to remain a slave to your masters the hausa. Buhari will do to tinubu what ibb did to abiola. When will you ofemmanus learn to mind your business and be a master and not slave.

You and that fool called garri will one day kill yourselves because of igbo matters. Slaves, houseboys, dirty smelly lazy pigs. A tribe were adultery is common. A whole speaker will use the whole house of assembly money to sleep with chief whip. Smh.

diva_tosin: Just spare a moment and reflect on how illogical your argument sounds.Hear him "who cares if you know what's happening in Edo"

Severally on this forum, we have debated on whom we tip to be the next president of Nigeria. Adams Oshiomhole's name has always been thrown in the mix by those who believe in him.
I'm not from Edo state and do not have any business there soon. so how do people like us get to see his performances and join you in singing his praise if not for opportunities like Maku's tour.
or you expect me to decide based on hearsay viz; " I hear say Oshiomhole dey try ooo"


how do you expect an APC member in Bauchi to defend an Oshiomhole candidacy before a PDP member without facts of his scorecard? Today, we readily cite TINAPA, OBUDU as Duke's legacies. But that is not his only achievements. He must have built Hospitals that are relatively unknown but which Maku's tour could have brought our attention to.

Even this your theory of "go to the state and see" is laughable because it's not possible for an individual to visit half of the state in search of projects. It takes serious effort to go round the capital of any state entirely. You cannot rate a governor solely on what you see on the streets of a state capital. There are hinterlands too for assessment.

This is where Maku's tour comes in. It bridges the communication gap between the people and their projects in each state.
Maku deserves an award for this initiative.

obadiah777: YEAH WE ARE SUPPOSED TO TAKE SOMEONE CALLED 'GARRI' SERIOUSLY. YOUR USERNAME SHOWS YOU ARE A HALFWIT

On the First Lady Peace Mission building, Mrs. Jonathan who appealed to the Senate and the House of Representatives to pass the N4 billion budgeted for the project, explained that the building was not for her, but for Nigeria, which she said would generate employment for Nigerian youths.

She explained that when Maryam Babangida and Mariam Abacha built the Women Centre and the National Hospital they did not carry the buildings when they left government, adding that she will not go with the peace mission building when her tenure expires.

According to Jonathan’s wife, the peace mission project was initiated by late President Yar’Adua, adding that other countries lobbied for the mission to be in their countries but it was given to Nigeria on a platter of gold. She noted that the United Nations and ECOWAS buildings are being maintained by Federal Capital Territory Administration.

She cautioned women to resist being used to kick against the project, as women recently demonstrated against the project, adding that if the project was for men the budget for the project would have long been passed

diva_tosin: If he has performed creditably well, let him not be scared to show it. Many of us are not resident in the state and would like this opportunity to see what he is really doing. I folllow the good governance tour on their Facebook wall. I watch the town hall meetings too. Apart from the hysteria, we want to actually know what the comrade governor is doing and at what cost. That I believe is the very essence of Maku's tour.
It is not all about the Edo people but the entire Nigeria. We want to have an insight to the projects that have earned him the hype of a performing Governor. Such information is key so that i can rate the government objectively in my mind and not based on bandwagon sentiments.

The Igbo Youths Movement, IYM, Thursday gave the Senior Special Adviser, Public Affairs to President Goodluck Jonathan, Doyin Okupe, 48 hours to apologise to Ndigbo over his alleged “uncivilised vituperations,” against elder-statesman, Prof. Ben Nwabueze, following the latter’s remark that Nigeria was becoming a failed state.
