I hope you know that the rail project is not new? it started under Obasanjo but somehow it got delivered under Amaechi. You can make excuses for Fashola all you like, bottom line is that he has nothing to show. For a man who likes to talk like he is a repository of wisdom and the only person who thinks outside the box, you would have thought that he would have found innovative ways to get things done.

The irony of Fashola, is that ever since his period in Lagos, he really doent have to make excuses for his failures because people seem to have been jazzed by him.

The reality of Fashola is that a developed a reputation while presiding over a citizenry that were eith inttelectually deficient, used to mediocre services or both.

Finally, the reality of life nobody cares what your excuse is, people only recognise those who delivered or achieved. Whe world is full of potential billionaires with bright ideas who all have excuses why they didnt make it. The world only recognises those who did.

Whatever your excuse Fashola so far has been a failure as a minister. Considering some of the buffoons in the cabinet, the best you can say is that he is average/mediocre


i also just remmembered that apart from rail Amaechi is also doing waterways, dredging river Niger, revamping airports and sea ports. Is it not the same federal funding he is using for those? Fashola cannot think outside the box le he is prone to pontificate and come up with innovative ways to fund his projects? Abeg yeye dey smell!!

How much do you think Fashola needs to provide for the whole country. His portfolio is far more challenging than the transportation ministry. Ameachi is performing excellently but it doesn't take anything away from Fashola.

Awol1:
They are working so hard to gather points they'd consider enough to curry the Eastern votes in 2023.

But hey, I think I need to remind us that the Second Niger bridge was commissioned as Public Private Partnership Project.

What that means, as I remember president GEJ saying then, is that once the govt pays it's counterpart fund for the project, which Jonathan did, the project will go on irrespective of who is in power.

That's the truth they don't want us to remember.

Absolute nonsense. Give us a link to the speech where Jonathan said the project will go on regardless of who is in power.
He spent 8 years using the bridge as a bait to get SE votes even though he didn't need to do that. SE was already in his pocket as the "pillars" of his presidency.

farady:
This is so sad, so unexpected. I am certain everyone there including the culprit never bargained for this in their heart sincerely. Now him body don cool now.

But why do people take pleasure in seeing others fighting (especially we Africans) instead of separating the two? The death of the one that died could have been triggered by some medical conditions like high BP etc.

Hmm RIP to the dead.

High blood pressure? Even when he was struck straight up on the head?
Ipobs kill each other more than any other group in Nigeria.

Guy what are you saying na. U just sayin rubbish since and refuse to be educated, Who cared if trump grandfather is from Germany, Trump was given birth to in America so that makes him an American citizen by birth, stop disgracing urself pls. Trump is arrogant, rude, blunt but he says the truth at all time and he’s scared of no one, no body can intimidate him easily, u only hate him because of how well he described the miserable conditions Africa is.

Obama was born in America but did it stop Trump from lying that Obama shouldn't be president because he was born in Kenya?
If your parents or grandparents were immigrants what made them different from people who are migrants today? A lot of dumb people around here. I see most of the trump supporters are frustrated ipob dolts. Zero sense.

Chris1987:
paying tax isn’t the problem, and trust me majority of people doing so aren’t happy about it...when you start earning six figures here you start looking for an exit plan on how to avoid it you start feeling a distaste for those unemployed people....trump was and still is a business man he knew what it felt like paying more taxes as a rich man for someone that decided not to work because he feels he can get a pay check at the end of the week for having more kids and food stamps....And what’s stopping them from working and earning money ?? Because they decided not to do so....America is built on immigrants ....you said trumps ancestors moved to America was it illegally? Or legally? He’s against illegal immigrants am sure you would do the same if you become president of Nigeria or any country stopping illegal immigrants was his campaign promises if Americans weren’t happy about the policy no one would have voted him btw I have a lot of Hispanic friends they support his policy because the illegals are making the legal ones look bad talking of stereotyping...because illegals are majority not law abiding they can get away with any crime because they are not documented I don’t expect you guys to understand till you live in America and work not just vacation or visiting

If Trump is against illegal immigrants why then did he place a ban on Nigerian immigrants who are applying through the right channels and who will certainly be scrutinized like there's no tomorrow. The reason he gave was security reasons but he didn't ban visitors who are less scrutinized and therefore poses greater security risks. What does that tell you?

Who told you "undocumented immigrants" doesn't work? How did you start in the U.S? Did you get your green card from Nigeria and started making six figures the moment you landed in the US? If that is your journey, that is not everyone's journey.

New immigrants work in different industries like construction and many other menial jobs that Americans themselves doesn't want to do. I bet many of them would have worked for the trump family's construction businesses in the past.

This is not about taxes,

Very true, he is talking as a regular visitor to both heaven and hell.

Chris1987:
i have been reading your comments I just have to say that most people that hate trump don’t actually live in America and the ones that lives there that hate him are mostly undocumented immigrants liberals drug peddlers criminals and people that get food stamps....I live in America why would I be paying tax only to be used to feed people that feel is there right not to work and feed off my tax that doesn’t make any sense, why would I work my ass off and pay more taxes than someone that decides just to work 4 hours a day and 3 days a week , why would I be paying for health insurance for an undocumented immigrant that decides to be smuggled into the country ....trump came in and changed the rhetorics there’s no reasonable American that chooses not to like his policy except the ones I mentioned above....his policy is to make America great again why would someone decide not to go work and receive unemployment benefits when you can work you leave off other people’s taxes and collect food stamps....why would someone decide to receive obesity benefits because you decide to just be fat by your own self and not to mention the ladies that decides to sleep around and have the right to abort any baby whenever they seem fit...this man is bringing back sanity into the American society again...anyone fighting his policy is a devil incarnate sent to destroy America....democrats are evil , there policy is do whatever you like no one has the right to judge you....they founded KKk they legalized gay rights abortion,drugs prescription, a lot of other things so when I see nigerians talking about American politics I just laugh....I also read people praising Buhari for closing the border and laugh at Ghanaians when they beg and turn around to curse America for restricting visa movements like your destiny is tied to America ....nigerians are the biggest hypocrites I’ve ever come across in my entire life....I am a doctor and a proud republican since trump came in our wages have more than doubled that’s all I can say for now

You are a doctor and you are saying democrats founded the KKK?
Trump's grandfather did not come from Germany with a green card. He emigrated to the US and later became a citizen. Trump's wife was born and raised in Slovenia, today she's is the first lady, she too didn't come to the United states with a green card.
If you are indeed in the US, some people were there before you and they also worked and paid their taxes.

Temple1288:
Yes he did! Just the same way he sponsored the lying and ungrateful Omarosa.... Omarosa the lying monkey who's in the same category and league of monkeys..

How do y'all manage to live with animalistic brains??

Why don't you just tell us all the wonderful things Trump did for the black folks.
I am not interested in your drivels.

Temple1288:
I would've listed how positive Trump's been towards the black communities. But of what use will it be to a monkey

I guess the blacks in your neighborhood. Perhaps he built a basketball court for the people in the projects where you live. House negro.

" What's the matter boss, we sick?"

Temple1288:
Improper reasoning from a monkey. If only your monkey brain filled with dirt will open up to you!

I had to bring up Ben Carson because you said "Omarosa, the only black person in his cabinet, she left in disgust." But of course your animalistic brain won't let you think and reason properly before making up things...

Very unfortunate! I feel like throwing a banana at you now!!

You sound like the house negro. Oh, look at Ben Carson therefore Trump is not a racist! Which school did you attend?
Little education can be dangerous.

Temple1288:
A full fledged monkey calling me a dunce. Your brain didn't tell you Ben Carson is the United States Secretary of Housing and Urban Development?? Having people like you scattered all over Africa makes it easier for totally useless leaders to litter around Africa..

You're just daft!

Your education is wasted. This is what happens when people are poorly educated.
They think they know things when they are in fact completely ignorant.
Why would a sane person bring up Ben Carson as evidence that Trump is not a racist? Do you actually believe the US government is the personal property of Donald Trump? Trump needs people like Carson to provide a veneer of impartiality and confuse people like you.
You need a refund my friend.

GamalNasser:
When they tell them to mention one single racist act of Trump they can't .

Is lowering unemployment amongst blacks and Hispanics racist?

Is fighting against drug smuggling racist ?

Is standing against illegal migration racist?

Is refusing to fund ISIS like Obama racist ?

Is agreeing to sell weapons Obama denied Nigeria racist ?

Is honoring the Tuskegee Airmen racist ?

Is providing more support and funding for black colleges racist?

The little black girl he offered a full scholarship last week , was that racist?

Is being Pro Life Racist ?

Did Trump refuse blacks tax returns ?



The truth is the that Trumphobia is real and many Trumphobics have no reason whey they hate Trump other than a dark satanic agenda they have against the man ..People like Farooq Perogi hate Trump because of his support for Isreal and his subtle declaration that America is a country of the Christian Faith .. I dare any Trumphobics to mention just one instance where Trump made a racist statement , just one please

Uncle Tom, more conservative than than the real deal "What's the matter boss, we sick?" " Stomach turning stuff.

TheApologist:
I support Trump unapologetically and I consider it an insult of the highest order for anyone to compare him with our Nepotist in Chief A.K.A Mr Spineless. Trump deeply has the love of Americans and America at heart and is working assiduously to keep America great while the spineless one is bent on dividing us further than we've ever been while showing in no disguise his loyalty only to his kinsmen

And Trump is working tirelessly to unite Americans? For example his recent decision to ensure some Americans for no reason at all cannot bring their relatives to the US while some other Americans are free to do so without any problems?

Temple1288:
And Ben Carson? You're a complete fooool!

Uninformed dunce, what of Ben Carson! You people are easily fooled. I am no longer surprised why African leaders are the way they are. Most of their followers cannot distinguish their left from their right.

Look at supposedly educated people defending a liar, and a racist who doesn't hide his disdain for them.
Your education is a completely useless.
What of Ben Carson? So having Ben Carson as housing secretary means Trump is not a racist? I give up on you people.
Housing secretary! Wow such a powerful position.

StaffofOrayan:
How can you be so ignorant and accuse others of such?
What Trump did to Obama is it more that Buhari and Tinubu did to GEJ?
It takes a lot to like Trump, you have to go against 90% of main stream media and form your own thoughts & opinions.

I swear you muslims are puppets and irrational

Another ignorant one. What is the correlation between what we are discussing and Buhari? Is Buhari the president of all the other countries selectively targeted by Trump?
Abeegi. I guess Buhari is also the president of Mexico, that is why Trump is building a wall to keep the Mexicans out.

GamalNasser:
Trump has a lot of gay supporters with a clear mind that I even follow Them , Milo Yiannopolous is gay and also conservative .

The end game of Islam is total adoption of Islam across the world and the words of your prophet have never hidden this so it natural for Muslims to hate anyone who is a stumbling block to this agenda .

When it come to the Acquittal of Trump so you expected the Senate to remove a man whose only crime was win an election from office and from day one the democrats never hid their intention to impeach Trump even before he was inaugurated , we all watch hours of the house hearing and their selected withnesses and it was an embarassing sham of one withness who had either not even met Trump before or those who claimed they heard about the call from another person that heard from another person it was a total sham of trying to label dog bad so it could be killed , what kind of house allows a partisan impeachment if not a biased one .

Guestlander you want Trump to be impeached because of a phone claiming to investigate a political opponent but before the 2019 election you supported Buhari as he used state powers to weaken his political rivals from illegally blocking all their source of fundings , arresting their campaign finance people and even closing down their businesses because he wanted it win an election and I remember then you supported those actions but being the HYPOCRITE you are you want Trump to be removed because you claim he made a call calling for the investigation of Biden

His only crime was winning an election? In the article of impeachment presented to the Senate was it written anywhere that he was impeached for winning an election?
His crimes were presented without any ambiguity but the spineless senators were not able to defend him or allow witnesses. All they had was trying to convince the American people that throwing him out will be bad for the country.
The people who wrote the constitution did not make any exceptions.........until now.
The America president and his Republican senators are just as spineless and corrupt as their African counterparts.

Let me see, you are not;

A Muslim
A Homosexual
A Socialist
A Pained liberal
A Illegal immigrant
A Drug dealer
A Health care cheat

What are you then? A brainwashed African who doesn't know what is good for him? An African who now view his oppressors as his saviour? An uncle Tom?

GamalNasser:
Token indeed? So Ben Carson that's in the cabinet is a white person ko ? I told you that you know nothing about Omarosa , are you aware Trump gave Omarosa her first break in life in the first edition of the Apprentice in 2004 and again in the Celebrity Apprentice and then again both of them both co produced another show together using Trump's finance and then he let her have her own reality show sponsored by him !!!! Name one black person that has had an impact on the life of Omarosa more than Trump , her life is about him , even now she knows the only way she can make any money is sell a book about him ..Even Omarosa says Trump has been a great blessing in her life the kind of helper most Nigerians pray for in churches and Mosque Everyday .

Take any issue you have with the travel ban to Buhari because he caused it 100 percent and trying to blame Trump for it shows how mischievously misguided you are , If small Chad could do the right thing and scale what stopped the Buhari govt from not acting on it for a whole year till the van was effected and now you want to come here and lie that Trump banned Nigerians because they are blacks , ohh so Chadians that were not banned are white ko?

Admit it it's Islam that makes you hate Trump !!! You are just pained he put a drastic stop to leeway Obama gave Islam to expand quickly under his watch by allowing chain undocumented migration into the US from wahabist nations in a bid to attempt demographic replacement and his sponsoring of Al Bagdadis ISIS to topple moderate regimes in the middle East and instal a caliphate . Anytime anyone hates Trump I put them against my checklist to see who they are

Muslim
Homosexual
Socialist
Pained liberal
Illegal immigrant
Drug dealer
Health care cheat

And for you and Farooq Kperogi I know it's the Islam in both of you speaking .

You post is dripping with ignorance, hypocrisy and more. Go online and see how many Republican politicians who are gay.
Why would all muslims hate Trump? Does it have any connection with the fact that he hounded Obama albeit falsely that he was a Muslim from Kenya? Does being a Muslim makes you automatically a criminal?
Does it have anything to do with the fact that any country with a sizable number of muslims is on his radar?

You cannot be a supporter of Trump and not be either ignorant or spineless like all the senators who acquitted him.

MONIKERREVEALER:
These guys' hypocrisy beggars belief!!!

I just cannot wrap my head around it!!!

Thanks for the total smackdown!!!

Another sidekick who would rather let others think for him.
Smackdown? Ignorance is bliss.

GamalNasser:
Another Yoruba Muslim on the prowl .. so because Donald Trump's election was hailed by the KKK that makes him a racist? Was his elections not also hailed by some black and Hispanic groups ? Was his election not hailed by evangelicals ? To call Rush Limbaugh a racist shows you are ignorant , I bee la listener to rush Limbaugh's podcast for years now and there is nothing racist about him , he is simply just a pro conservatist and supporter of traditional American values , I am sure you just heard about Rush for the first time last week and you took the CNN angle of him as the truth , I am sure you will soon say Ben Shapiro and Tucker Carlson are also racist because they stand for American conservatist values .

He didn't place a ban on them for no reason , since March last year his govt had informed your stupid Buhari that Nigerians will soon face a travel ban if our traveller KYC process was not updated and your Buhari did nothing about it , both Chad and Nigeria were informed in the same month , Chad put in the effort and improvement and we're not banned but your foolish failure Buhari did nothing as usual and now you want to blame Trump ..if I was Trump I can't even allow any Nigerian come to the US under Buhari govt , a govt that is protecting 3 Terrorist groups within it's borders ..

Omarosa? You clearly know nothing about her ? Who is Omarosa without Trump? If Trump was racist would he have allowed her in the apprentice and after that kept lending her support so much he sponsored and produced her own reality show Ultimate merger for her .. without Donald Trump there will be no Omarosa in the first place and today you want to say he is a racist ? Who on Earth has helped Omarosa more than Trump?

Guestlander you are all you accuse Donald Trump of , I see you here practice disgusting tribalism , I have seen you support Buhari when he practices tribalism and Nepotism , you supported him when he murdered over1000 Shias in their sleep and today you suddenly what to turn around and blame Trump ...abeg keep quiet

You have been listening to Rush Limbaugh for decades, any wonder why you are completely brainwashed?
You are sure I just heard of Rush Limbaugh this week!
How ignorant of you to say that. Don't make me laugh.

You cannot be a reasonable human being and think Rush Limbaugh is not a racist. Some of you black folks are so brainwashed that even if they put a noose around your neck you will call it a harmless tradition.

Omarosa was used as a token black person in his cabinet and was dumped or forced out when she was no longer needed.
As for you trying to rationalize his ban on Nigerians, it shows how much you have been brainwashed. Who are the most vetted people in the US? Immigrants or visitors?

Where and when did Buhari murder 1000 shias? You and the folks you support are well known liars anyway.

You are one of the uninformed people he was talking about.
A man who gave the medal of freedom to Rush Limbaugh, whose election was hailed by KKK. Who said " why do we allow people from these shithole countries to come to the US instead of people from countries like Sweden"
He just placed a ban on Nigerian immigrants for absolutely no reason, even though Nigerians in the US are not doing anything to single them out from other immigrants.
What of Omarosa, the only black person in his cabinet, she left in disgust.
Trump supporters in Nigeria surely need their heads examined.
PS: He spent eight years propagating the lie that Obama was born in Kenya. His own grandfather was born in Germany.

Who are the legislators who will impeach a Nigerian president? Many of them have no idea why they are in the Senate to start with. As long as they collect their unearned income every month they are alright.

Jesse25:
Trump is so arrogant and he hate blacks I still don't know why stupid Nigerians support him

If there was any doubt that Fani Kayode was ignorant that doubt has been erased forever. All the major newspapers across the world lament the debasement of the American democracy by Trump and his spineless supporters in the Senate. He even gave the medal of freedom to Rush Limbaugh!
I laugh at Nigerians who support Trump thinking he is a Christian. Ignorance is indeed bliss.

He wasn't there long enough to be called the best president. If Babangida had died within his first two years in office he would have been regarded the best Nigerian leader ever.

.. . And take it or leave it, some of them are still ready to sell the entire South of Nigeria for a morsel of pottage. They pride themselves in these, they call it political sophistication, and all the self arrantly arrogant names. Just, beware! !! That's all I have to say.

Why do you even think our destinies are tied together? If the Fulanis want to overrun Yorubaland then let them go ahead. Words are cheap, anyone can make threats.
If you also think Yorubas will betray you then face your problems and leave Yorubas out of it. Abi na by force?

Fragility6:
Sure but dere are some criticism that are baseless while some constructive. I prefer the latter. I can neva be right always but the way some of you point out flaws wit insults as if there is a medal for insulting somebdy for airing his/her opinion. Imagine calling somebody cynical for wat exactly?

Saying someone is cynical is not an insult. I get cynical sometimes as well depending on the subject.
