It's always Lagos sha! It's even more important to the Igbos that they capture Lagos than the presidency. I repsect OBJ but sir, PDP can't and won't rule Lagos

Abagworo: I personally stopped to take these pictures. Was actually going to Umudi in Nkwerre LGA. This was June 2012.I believe by now some of the roads should be complete with streetlights.

Just by mere looking at the roads, you can tell they aren't durable because what I can see is the wearing course which means its all done though not well done.

Slowly and surely, Yorubaland is advancing

This is the same governor that increased the state's IGR from N106m to over N600m within a year and has also turned the state into a huge construction yard

Well done Fayemi

[quote author=]Any nigerian born and bred in Anambra is an Anambran as well
There are hausa and igbo people who's ancestors have been in lagos longer than some yoruba there.
Almost nobody in lagos is an indigine, unless you believe the colonials ran into a huddle of 20 million precolonial africans when they go there.[/quote]Don't be silly, even at independence our population was barely 55million and there are indigenous Lagosians. How old do you think the Oba of Lagos monarchy is? And who were his subjects when the Portuguese first came into Lagos ? Population increases with time through births or migration. My point is Lagos is as much of Yorubaland as Onitsha is Igboland. There are Yorubas in Onitsha and how come they aren't saying this. How come the Hausas that are clearly larger in population than the Igbos in Lagos aren't saying this?

I believe in the intellectual power of the SW and Yoruba people to turn their region into an Eldorado. We have everything its takes and we have decided to take our destiny in our own hands. Even if we fix Federal roads and the FG refuses to reimburse us, we would have succeeded in improving infrastructure which will consequently lead to development and ultimately increased IGR for our states.

Politics › Re: FG Owes Lagos N51Billion For Roads Constructed & Certified by geeez: 3:49pm On Jan 03, 2013*

[b]And the same FG couldn't guarantee LASG's $600m (N90bn) World Bank loan which the LASG never even defaulted in its obligations in the first tranche?

I wonder what the FG does with all its income when it can't fix its roads and as a responsive state government that realizes the economic importance of certain roads, the LASG has decided to fix them and what has the FG done in return? Fold its arms, do nothing as usual but budget money for energy saving light bulbs which were never bought and now mobile phones which will never be delivered.

Instead of distributing bulbs, can't you build micro power plants and instead of giving phones to farmers, can't you buy and lease equipment and land to them at low rates.

This shows a government that thinks slowly like it has admitted but after all the time spent thinking, they still reach absurd conclusions which they smear the face of Nigerians with.

We, the Yoruba people have been advocating for regional autonomy which will give us the license to judiciously utilize our resources for our common good and not contribute to a centre which does nothing with all the funds it gets[/b]

Well I really can't tell for sure what his state of health is but observing the picture, I can deduce the following:

1. The man to his left and his wife's expressions don't match his
2. He doesn't seem to be aware of the camera or anything else for that matter
3. The food placed in front of him is half eaten, meanwhile the cutlery is untouched
4. Compared to his previous picture below, it's obvious his facial expression is a lot different from what it normally is
5. Why was the picture taken in the dinning and why is his chair different
5. There are other pictures from other angles in the hospital. Notice his wife changed her posture in the picture but he remained still with the child

Politics › Re: “i’m Not Slow, I Think Properly Before I Do Things” – President Jonathan by geeez: 11:26pm On Jan 02, 2013

danjabaluson: Nigeria’s president, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, has finally given an explanation for his perceived ‘slowness’, which has left a lot of the country’s citizens frustrated and angry.

https://cdn.informationnigeria.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/jonathan_thinking.jpg?9d7bd4

Jonathan was speaking at a church service to mark the New Year celebration in Abuja, and equally vowed to improve on the speed with which he attends to issues.

“Sometimes, people say this government is slow,” he said. “Yes, by human thinking, we are slow, but I can say that we are not slow.

“Government must think things properly before it acts. When you don’t think through things properly, or when you rush, you will make mistakes.

“It is more difficult to correct errors. You can ask those who build houses. Government will not, because of the perception, begin to rush.”

Politics › Re: What Is Lagos Doing With Its Subsidy Removal Fund? by geeez: 11:10pm On Jan 02, 2013

Sincere 9gerian: What has the Lagos State govt been doing with its share of funds saved from partial removal of fuel subsidy? This is an important question that should bother every right thinking Nigerian/Lagosian. Though subsidy removal was fiercely opposed by ACN governors and legislators, the federal govt succeeded in partial removal of fuel subsidy, courtesy of which ALL tiers of govt earned EXTRA funds. The FG has since deployed its share to intervene in several critical infrastructure nationwide through a programme it calls SURE-P. However, no one knows what other tiers of govt are doing with their share of the funds.
I singled out Lagos state because it is the nations commercial capital and is expected to set the pace for other states. The question therefore is what has the Lagos state govt been doing with its share of the funds? It is estimated that the Lagos state govt has been getting EXTRA N300million or more every month since fuel subsidy was removed partially in Jan 2011.
Personally, I had expected the Lagos state govt to deploy this UNEXPECTED EXTRA funds to complement funding and bring to quick completion critical projects in the state such as the Lagos metro rail line. What about using it to commence the construction of 4th mainland bridge? What about using part of the funds to bring back to life the EPILEPTIC and "o ti ba je" state owned media organisation (LTV)? I ask again, what is the Lagos state doing with the unexpected EXTRA funds it receives courtesy of partial removal of fuel subsidy? Or is the funds being diverted to Tinu...'s pocket?

You tell us what your home state governor has done with his first before poking your nose into other people's affairs

Till date, the report on her health is in public domain. I wonder why on earth a governor will disappear for almost half a year and no one can say a word about where he is and the state of his health.
