Enjoyment1:
He said. “The group that made the publication was faceless without any known address or location other than an email address and no documents were published in the advertorial to support any of the allegations. They were bare allegations and above all, the allegations were not contained in a petition addressed directly to the House of Assembly but published in an advertorial. The group has not been known or associated with the struggle for good governance and probity in government expenditures in Nigeria.”

Why most of you fall mugu for thse religious sentiments is that you don't know how it all started for real.Take your time and go back to history with open mind to see how draconic amd manipulative christianity ii or has been.

Islam understandable is the very crude version of christian but they are both the same ball game of mind and physical conquest of the gullible and the weak by all means possible.
Well, I will not want to derail this thread, but no matter what you say, Christianity remains GOD's given way of life, and not a religion.
CrimeRe: Pictures From Jos Massacre (viewers Discretion Advised) by Hardtalk: 8:25am On Mar 09, 2010
Christianity has never asked any man to retaliate for any crime or offence. Christianity has never asked any man to kill for GOD, rather GOD has always told man to leave revenge for HIM. That is Christianity for you.

People only take laws into their hands when Governments don't do what they are supposed to do.

If the government can

1. Arrest and try the masterminds behind the scene including those directly involved, try them in court and punish appropriately.
2. Send a very strong warning that this kind of behavior will not be tolerated and will never go unpunished.


3. Also, we have to be careful about inciting religious arguments/fights especially here on Nairaland
Then this will never happen again.
My Dear, when it happened last month, even VP said, it will be the last time in the history of Jos. Has it not happened again?

Please what are you trying to dohuh
Nothing my brother. I am just trying to make people see the need to value human lives. GOD has not plagued us with Tsunami and other natural disasters, why the ethnic and religious madness, then?.

@ Shoot2kill; It is really painful. Just imagine any of these to be one's brother or sister. If we say it does not concern us, after all, none of our relatives is there, then someday, it will definitely happen. What shall we do? What shall others do?

Deep down,it could just be another form of internationally sponsored terrorism capitalizing on the porous security system in nigeria to terrorize the people.
Yes, you must be right here. Something tells me, these guys are mechineries. They are paid to destabilise this nation. Even Nigeria Army, is now called "Islamic Army" in this picture and scenario. GOD will deliver us from Nigeria and the evil spirits invoked in by Islamic fundamentalists.

@ Blackman,

You can make your point with facts and figures but those who Allah will ,will know better. Education forms the major obstacle to those who kill in the name of Religion. How can one kill ? for who ? and for what sake ? I have not read that from any scripture. May Almighty Allah forgive us all. And those who judge without caution,those who conclude without caution, God will forgive us all. God is all knowing.
I see this comment to be too harsh, but in it, remains the fact; Islam is a killing religion. There is nothing good about it, and the founder.

How heartless can man be because of man invented religion call Islam. All Muslims should bow their heads in shame. This is what their so called "Mohammed"left for them. Tufia (spits out!). Shame on all ye sons of Ishmael and Mohammed. He is a disgrace. GOD weeps, for ever creating him (Mohammed).

All of you fools saying because Fashola is "performing" he should be aloud to steal us blind. Read the new story of how Fashola bribed punch editor to write positive stories for LASG and how he paid N25million to several journalists to win the SUN's Man of the Year award. These are not Fashola's father's money but our hard earned tax money. Last time i checked, i paid N350,000 last year as tax. So i should keep quiet and let this guy waste my tax money,

Fashola is corrupt and possibly worse than the likes of Ibori and Tinubu. It is very sad that rather than fellow nairalanders to be objective and listen to these voices that have posted several stories of Fashola's corrupt practices, they will be throwing abuses at those bent on exposing corruption

Let's face reality, we accept that Fashola has done some good things for Lagos just as other governors have done some good things for their states. That's what they are elected to do. No big deal. But this does not give Fashola the right to pay journalist with our tax money to influence positive stories. This is immoral, unethical, corrupt and unprofessional. He is indeed not as decent as he is being portrayed.

Fashola has been accused by some people in "The True Face of Lagos". He has not responded. Another group came out with a new set of allegations in "The Other Face of Lagos". Still grave yard silence from Fashola and his government. Now this new allegation from a journalist and former editor of punch. Let's wait and see if he will respond.

The truth is that his political days are numbered and sooner than later he will be exposed and be made to face the music.

T. J.:
First of all, i want to commend the Nairalanders on how they have been tackling this issue raise by Hardtalk becos u (Nairalanders) did not allow an infedel like hardtalk to destroy the reputation of a pious man like fashola.

Hardtalk, why are u bringing this at this present time that is very close to d next election (2011) because from all your evaluation, u didnt even mention single thing about all the good work that mr fashola as done becos Akala (my governor) in oyo state that have not done anything, u bother not talking about.

Perhaps, u should start campaining for your candidate in 2011 or better still, who is your candidate? Mr Fashola is not a man u can destroy his reputation so that u can win even if he has made some mistakes. May be u should tell me any governor in Nigeria thai is better than him (fashola) or that have not done anything wrong?

I'm not saying Fashola is a saint but he is the only one good or excellent among the bad governors.

Nigerians and Lagosians have seen a lot than to be deceived by destructive post like this. we all know what is good for us and u dont have to tell us. Desist or face the wrath of GOD
finally i find it hard to beleive that Hardtalk is not Oboma1.

What’s this fuss about Fashola?
Viewpoints Feb 18, 2010
By Moses Iloh


GOVERNOR Babatunde Fashola’s model of Lagos, the mega-city in the making is miniature Nigeria and the only haven where all and sundry, even beggars run to for respite. Lagos does not belong to the Yoruba, or to Muslims, or to Christians, or to the Action Congress (AC).
The present members of the Lagos State House of Assembly are the least qualified by any standard whatsoever to represent the greatly endowed and sophisticated Lagos State. Lagos State is, therefore, most unfortunate to have the present crowd of “Honourables” who are unable to read the times. They are the product of the Nigerian ingenuity in notorious political elections rigging and fraud.

What is the meaning of “investigating Governor Babatunde Fashola of fraud” with the intention of impeaching him and ruining his very bright political career at this material time? Governor Fashola is a Muslim whose testimony of good governance elates the spirit of Nigerians of all faiths and beliefs who had for years suffered under nefarious governance.

Governor Bola Tinubu in injecting Governor Fashola into Lagos politics virtually swore to an oath testifying of the sterling qualities of Fashola. Fashola has superseded the testimonies Tinubu gave. Fashola’s performance as Governor of Lagos Sate so far has shown up Tinubu as a man with the right vision for Lagos and a leader who wants his record maintained and obviously superseded.

Public opinion states loudly that Governor Fashola has more than justified Tinubu’s testimony. AC is daily growing in stature as a dividend accruing to it from Fashola’s enviable performance.

There is only one other governor in Nigeria that doubles with Fashola.He is Governor Mohammed Danjuma Goje of Gombe State in Northern Nigeria. They have both set phenomenal standards that challenge regenerated Christians to dynamically get into partisan politics and surpass their set standards with the introduction of righteous governance for it is written: “When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked rule, the people mourn” (Proverbs 29:2).

Bravo! Bravo!! So the Action Congress wants us to believe that she epitomises the long sought after holy and innocent political party in Nigeria: Our political maiden virgin who has not been violently raped in the public dustbin by Mr. Corruption.

I see they are very anxious to preserve their sanctimonious virginity. I wish them well and hope that if the military takes over a chaotic Nigeria, military surgeon-gynecologist with their scalpels will find the AC truly a virgin. Let the Lagos AC not inadvertently invite these gun-totting military crude surgeons by angering the ordinary Nigerian folks who are happy and grateful to God and to Tinubu for injecting Governor Fashola into the Nigerian polity. The AC should not provoke the already very aggravated Nigerians.

I have always crusaded against fraud and corruption and this is why I coined the word “Corruptocracy”. Wait for Governor Fashola to end his phenomenal first term and start your investigation aimed at depriving Nigerians of his second term and you be the ones qualified to cast the first stone.
Western Nigeria had an enviable reputation of raising the best among Nigerians but it has now earned for herself the notoriety of being the killers of her best.
They murdered ex-successful governor and legal luminary, Uncle Bola Ige; they murdered youthful and brilliant governornorship aspirant, Engineer Funsho Williams; they have just murdered an aspiring hopeful governorship candidate, Dipo Dina. Northern Nigerians are notorious for killing Southerners and Christians but they never kill their best.

I call on all Nigerians to stay in fervent prayer for divine protection of Governor Fashola of Lagos State, Nigeria and a member of the Action Congress.
I salute all of you on this occasion and for a time like this. I pray that you vividly draw attention of all Nigerians to the brewing fatality that might occur through the threats of Lagos Assembly plot against Governor Fashola.

Leave them until they succeed in doing what they are planning that is when they will know that Fashola belongs. Let them impeach him, he will join another party and still win Lagos for him to complete the good work he has started. I thank God he has started knowing his enemies who are even working in his cabinet. During Tinubu’s time what he could do was to create Agberos here and there, now that some of those things have been kept to bay, I know some people are not benefiting, the agberos are now hiding, no more street parties, in short, their action against Fashola will prove them wrong.

James Osato says:

Fighting Fashola will destroy Action Congress and erode the accolades and widespread national acceptance Tinubu now relishing. No one is talking about Tinubu’s skeletons because his successor is doing great. If AC kills the goose that is laying the golden eggs, that’s it.
