Apparently you have not read the original thread, the trains are being bought by a private company, why is it difficult for you to accept that, there are many threads where Eko Ile has straightened that part out. Fashola went to inspect the trains because this is a mega project for the state.

Lagos state is not even the ones buying the trains, it is being bought by a private company, can we ask the people shouting to tell us when most of the planes flying in Nigeria were built?

The Nigerian President wields enormous powers, it is not different from the powers of a Military dictator, OBJ leveled Zaki Biam and Odi and nothing happened, Buhari would have smoked out all these BH people long time ago, ask the Chadians, ask Maitatsine, he dealt with all of them.

Judaism has more affinity for Islam than Christianity, if Israel comes to naija, they will see the Emirs as being more pliable and easy to deal with than the heady southerners.

Dayo it is enough, let our brothers from the east have their discussion, we all know that Akintola was a brave man who died a real man's death, how can he not be brave when he was the Aare Ona Kakanfo.

That is all I have been trying to say, the BH guy is just saying Nigeria belongs to God and people are saying all sorts of things. @ekt, you say your Bible tells you not to kill another human being, have you read your bible lately?

@Ezeuche

The north contributes agriculturally to the nation, oya spin another one about the north being a parasite. Jonathan can not do anything because he is spine less, how can you compare a common fisherman to a General who fought in wars and has fought extremism before.

@ekt

Jews, Christians, Muslims and Yoruba traditional guys all worship the same God, just different medium.

Any other person can speak via their spokes person, the President should speak to us directly, he is the commander in chief for goodness sakes.

I believe the Sultan should release a statement on this BH menace, but, he has not spoken out of turn here as he was addressing muslim youths. GEJ should come for harsher criticism than the Sultan, your CinC is failing in his duties.

Islam is not in support of violence, oya ekt send your slap.

You guys are funny, you call a General in the army a fool, he was talking to muslim youths about Islam, what do you guys expect him to say? Abeg you guys should stop being emotional jare.

@enyhss

Your comparison is bad as per the computer stuff, what you should have said is buying a used pentium versus a new one, you do know that used stuff keep computer village and the auto guys in business.

Yes he would have, reason being that the military will respect him more and the bad guys will also know they are dealing with a bad as.s president who takes no prisoners.

@ekt

You are intelligent enough to know that Allah means God, Oluwa, eledumare, Olorun, that is God in different tongues, we have Christians saying Nigeria belongs to Jesus yet you guys are up in arms when a guy says Nigeria belongs to Allah, the same God we all worship in our different ways, if he had said Nigeria belongs to Mohammed nko?

The trains are not being bought by the Lagos state government, Fashola just went to inspect the trains because they are going to be used on the rail track paid for by the government.

@ekt

do you recognise the authority of an entity called God? I hope you do know that Christians in the north and middle east call God Allah.

GEJ sends his spokesman, it is the President talking, Buhari sends his spokesman, he is too arrogant, maybe you guys are not aware that Buhari considers all Nigerians as his people whereas your president was more concerned about a carol than those who died.

May God bless superego, these are the real cause of the violence, those guys are just hiding under religion, now, the fuel subsidy removal is going to be done and the situation will get worse, GEJ had better handle these things creatively.

@phreak

You need to expose yourself a little bit, Buhari will rather tell you to your face that he dislikes you than follow BH, direct your anger at those PDP goons who felt they lost out in the primary elections.

Buhari crushed an islamic sect in the 80s, now beaf says he is a terrorist, beaf had better told his oga to face the true enemies within his party than attacking an innocent man.

ideally they should speak, but, how safe are they, the guy OBJ met with got killed, former governors have apologized to BH out of fear, until the government can provide proper security, they will keep mute. It is also possible some of them are sponsors of BH but most of them are pro establishment and have sacrificed a lot to have GEJ in power, it is not in their interest to back BH.

@mike

Bone that thing jare, the West have always felt comfortable with northern leaders, they see them as being amenable, they will back whoever they can control and the British will alway have the backs of the feudal leaders in the north.

May those who lost their lives RIP, until Nigerians realize that this is not a religious war but a political one, muslims and christians are being killed by Boko Haram, they do not differentiate among religions, they are pushing an agenda and that agenda is not religious, they are just using religion as a smokes screen. I marvel at those who say Nigeria should break, what will happen to christians in the north if we break because of boko haram, will boko haram not have won?

He is worse than Dizeani who is really really dumb.

I stand corrected on tolling of the bridge, I thought it will be as the state needs money, to johnie, the lekki bridge could also be tolled at #50, the residents should have engaged Fashola and LCC on that instead of turning it into a political thing, the important things are, the residents get a good road, the private guy makes his money and everyone is happy.

I expect the bridge to be tolled, government must make money back from it, we live in dangerous financial times, what people should be fighting for is a reasonable price, say 50 Naira.

Sanusi actually called the government incompetent, he said with the present crop of people we have, the refineries will not work, what we need to ask is what is the government good at doing for the benefit of the masses.

See long turenchi on capital and recurrent, we need infrastructure to drive the economy, let government put more emphasis on infrastructure that will drive the economy (very important) while not neglecting that part of recurrent that will provide a better future for our people. Oyo state should be making far more revenue than it is making, as far as I am concerned, if the infrastructure is in place, those who pass through Ibadan to get to Lagos will stop in Ibadan to do their businesses, same goes for Ogun state, those guys are in a good position to feed off Lagos.

Just making a point with Fash, oya back to the topic, I do not trust Okonjo how can I trust that Fisherman from Bayelsa.

She is applying to sentiments, let us have tangible things that we can hold on to, she is brilliant but what she is preaching is not acceptable to us.
@dmain
Sanusi just called OBJ, Yar Adua and GEJ incompetent, he does not have to say it literally jare. Fashola is building infrastructure and most of those pot holes have been filled, at least on the main roads.

@dmain

Forget that story, Lagos politics is not easy, Fashola is building infrastructure and maintaining them, let the president act presidential. GEJ is not our best president because we can talk freely, that is our human right, everybody negotiates, it is the term of negotiation that differs.
