Please where is Azeez Ramon?

rajiade: She be SHINE SHINE BABY, while the husband na SHINE SHINE bobo.

The Union would be blessed with stars

Lol.......you no well ooo.

ojdollars: Ogbeni Aregbesola....... Is the next best Governor in the Western Nigeria after San.. Fashola... Of Lagos.... This is a great concept indeed.. Like the services we enjoy abroad... The good part of it is that, it's free for all whom can Dial 112.... Not all Highways are stated owned or reach.... Feds due states 9times out of 10, for trying to repair the dilapidated roads.. Thumbs up to a man of vision...

How many states have you been to in the south west? Gov Fayemi if Ekiti is one of the best in the country, and not some fella with unkept beards.

So where is the money? God help us.

Sam Milla: Is this how you solved % problems in school? No wonder half of Nigerians are confused.
What happened to 72million times 100 divided by 5.? You could have easily come to the same answer.

Pathethic!

blink182: That charge is too much o and I am sure he will still have to settle omonile. This aspect of fashola I don't like.

It depends on the worth of the land. 72M is 5% of 360M.

Afam4eva: The people who work in whichever ministry he was appointed to head will call for sack because his disposition is not different from those of Barth Nnaji and the NSE lady. He's a stickler for due process and a disciplinarian. Let's see how it goes.

Which NSE Lady? I hope you are not talking about the SEC lady that eats 1M a day. Don't be deceived by her cry, she was cooperating wityh the reps before the public enquiry.

[quote author=@miguel]It is not having a feeling...Sanusi is behind this and it is very bad. I'm not saying you should not prosecute a criminal but my bible says something of "he who is without sin should cast the first stone. Now the question is this; Is Sanusi clean?[/quote]Don't worry yourself. The next CBN gov will do the same to him too.

planetuzor: I guess the 47man laptop have been employed by ohakim and his team to ridicule the work of the best southeastern governor Rochas... Whats in showing the world your good work via the media... Check out the Orlu and Ikigwe road and other smaller roads..Check out the freedom square, The inner village streets being tared, the pensioners who had been owed since year 2000, The Government House being rebuilt, the Ojukwu Structure etc and please note "He just got elected and imo revenue isnt like the other oil producing state - akwa iibom and port hacourt or self revenue generating state like lagos - his on a limited budget"...

But Imo is the 6th largest oil producing state, next to ondo state.

Mr Kash

I almost didn't remember him.

Adieu Mr Omotosho.

Engineer96: @OP
your post is misleading.
In different fields, different Nigerians are well respected.
In business, Aliko Dangote, Otunba Mike Adenuga etc,
in politics, undoutedly, Obj- like him or not, Raji Fashola; NOI,
in social critic, there are Senior Advocate of the People ( Femi Falana),Pat Utomi, Tunde Bakare and co, in academics, Chinua Achebe, Wole Soyinka etc, in religion, you see Jonathan kneelling before Adeboye and most northerners honouring the sultan as if he is the God and so on.
In these fields, different people have different respects for different people. E.g, in politic, Obj takes the lead while in entreprenurialship, Aliko Dangote takes the lead. So, in politics, Dangote bows before OBJ while in business Obj honour Dangote.
In academics, Obj cannot stand Chinua Achebe in terms of honour and that can be viewed, partly, why he turned Obj's national honours down. Do u know that most VCs, if not all, honours Wole Soyinka and Achebe much more than they respect any poltician and even business icon like Dangote?
In essence, it all depend on which area you are looking at.

Chinua Achebe authored a Classic novel, but I don't think he is a renowned Academic.

Most comments attribute to the "Jewel of inestimable value" are mere propaganda. This woman is old and well stricken in age. I think the son is just using his Mother to make money from these politicians.

Ngodigha1: The most respected Nigerians are as follows:
Prof Chinua Achebe.
Chief Emeka Anyaoku.
Prof Wole Soyinka.
Dr Ngozi Iwuala.
Alex Ekwueme
Dr Ezekwesiri
Dora Akunyili
Alh Dangote
Solomon Lar
Chukwudifu Oputa
Ralph Uwechue
Ebitu Ukiwe
Pepper Clarke
Pat Utomi
Tam David West

Who are these people? Even Aunty Dora!

Emperortj93: Hope say she go born twins cus dat belle big wella sha......bt dis is wat i cal child abuse cus d last tym i check martins was 45 (claimin mere 28) and d smal gurl is jst 24, if u do d math u wil knw he is old enof 2 b her epa (father)

Thats far from being true. Obafemi Martins was an ex-colleague's classmate in Secondary school. I don't know his age, but my colleague is '83.

Martins never played professional football in Nigeria, he became a hit early in life. Sport tends to make people old. I'm older than Wesley Schneider, yet you would think he is my father.

Love or hate him, Fashola's administrative and Leadership is second to non. The only thing I have against is the arrongant manner him he addresses issues, though 'All' Nigerian governors are arrogant. The Only time we had humble governors was '99 - 2003; The likes of All the Governors in the south, with the exception of Donald duke, Odili, Chimaroke Nnamani, Orji Kalu,and Ibori were very humble. The same goes for Most of their Northern counterparts. The hurricane PDP that swept the country, especially the southwest in 2003 brought with it Rulers that are bigger than the People.

Dr Kayode fayemi - Excellent!

alaoeri: 50/50 no cheating & no space for the tribal e-warlords.

Lol

bilms: I have observed that the media propaganda of the Lagos State Governor is still enjoying much relevance,especially on nairaland despite clear failure of his administration.

Many things i read about Fashola on nairaland speak contrary of the reality on ground,a little survey among the masses in your area would speak for itself.


Just within the last two weeks, the Fashola for presidency thing has made it to the front page God knows how many times.

So i ask, what exactly has foshala done to deserve a presidency?

Is it the increment of The Lagos State University fee from 25,000 to 250,000 that made him worth the presidency?
Is it the crazy Lekki toll gate fee, which when protested ordered the protesters crushed?
Is it the promise of demolishing Katangwa market,denying over 30,000 people means of livelihood with a promise of not providing any alternative?
Is it the demolishing and killing of some residence of Makoko Community?
Is it the Ban of Okada without any meaningful steps toward re engagements of the citizens?

Many crazy things just to mention but few.

What exactly has he done to deserve this inhuman promotion? A government of oppression on the masses and the less privileged.

A government of under developing the people in the name of developing the state. A government with no consideration for human welfarism.

Anyway, no matter how much this propaganda machine tries,Nigerians are no fools..

Pull him down before 2015

Foster cat: Gov. Fashola Begs Dangote To Have A Snap Shot With Him

I was watching Metrofile this morning, a TV program on Channels. The duo attended a birthday party and Fashola was practically begging Dangote for a photo shot with him. It was clearly heard. Fashola repeatedly said, let me snap with the richest man in Africa, let me snap with the richest man in Africa.

I was like wow, see my governor o. I think he should have done it in a diplomatic way, but he was screaming. BRF I bow for you o. I no know say person dey wey you fit respect. Dangote indeed you are too much.

Pull him down before 2015

afam4eva: I'm really tipping Soludo for the position but considering that he's in PDP, it's really gonna be difficult except he goes to APGA and i doubt he will get the ticket there considering the fact that it seem as though Dora Akunyili is a governor in waiting. Though Dora won't be a bad choice too. She has forresight too and is very hardworking.

Who's from Anny Okonkwo's senatorial to zone. What did he do as a senator?

let's keep the nominations coming...

The only thing I know about him is the fact that he stole money that was appropriated for erosion control

saxywale: There was a comedy I enjoyed as well, can't remember the name....It featured Okey bakassi, Osuofia and jide kosoko. Okey n osuofia were two poor dudes trying to get rich by all means.

thelastPope: Big question for these ACN trolls on NL

If Fashola is such a big success in Lagos like their media want us to believe, why did ACN loose several LGAs in the last LGA election to PDP and ACN had to rig it?

SMH at the level of propaganda from these peeps!

If you want to be sincere, then you have to talk in specifics, not this generalised successes you lot talk about.

What has he achieved in:

Education: Lagos schools are worse of today than they were 10 years ago. Dilapidated structures everywhere with not enough teachers and it isnt even free because the students still pay all sorts of fees. In Lagos, it is only the very poor who cant afford private schools that send their children to government schools. In Benin city, which is ironically another ACN state and in which the governor has done less time than Fashola, It is the other way around. People are widthdrawing their children from private schools and sending them to public schools because the public schools are great. Fashola is the only governor in Nigeria and in the history of Nigeria as far as I can recall, that has increased schools fees by over 1000%. He increased LASU school fees from 25k to 250k and as much as 300k for some courses. This is not even imaginable. It is as diabolical it gets. Then when the students protests, he sends in bruttal policemen to chase them away. Many have had to drop out from school because they cant afford it. This is the same guy who said the FG was too high handed by sending the army to Ojota

Do you live in Lagos? Lagos public Schools, especially the Secondary schools are some of the best in Nigeria. The Schools are free, and students get free text books.

Health Care: This one is just humorous. Fashola and ACN in 13 years havent built one new hospital for Lagos. Still the old LUTH and general hospital. No change. Instead, they are praising him for renovating small 30 by 30 maternity centers. centers that where even renovated by MTN foundation, with their sign post conspiciously displayed. His only achievement here was to sack 788 doctors in one day. That is one of the worst administrative blunders in the history of Nigeria. I laughed when I read a previous post that he is a great administrator! Great administrator? Someone whose solution to doctors strike was to sack the whole doctors in the state? Ha! Is that how he will rule Nigeria? The presidential guard will pursue him back to Lagos! lol! If he cannot manage such crisis in one state of Nigeria, how will he manage Nigeria? Those who call GEJ clueless forget that he has continued to manage crisis after crisis and continues to pull everyone along. Love him or hate him, he has continued to hold everything together from North to south.

Have you ever been to Lagos state owned General hospitals at Ikeja, Gbagada, and the others?

Roads: Its about six years now and Fashola cannot point to one major new road built in Lagos. I am still wondering where Lagos allocations go. It is funny that every time some credit is giving to Lagos in terms of facility and infrastructure, some of these ACN peeps quickly shout "Fashola is working" as if the facilities are built by Fashola. Lagos has become a business city powered fully by the private sector. All the infrastructures we enjoy in Lagos are built by the private sector, not Fashola. From the cinemas to shoprite to the various entertainment centers et al. I dont understand how that is Fashola working. Propaganda of course. After adding extra lanes to Lekki, he introduced toll gates to a residential area. I mean, that is a first again in Nigeria. Toll gates in a residential area? Some people go from Lekki area to main VI like 5 times daily and back and they have to pay toll fees each time they pass the road. And when the residents protest peacefully, the response, just like the LASU one, is a bruttal assault by his thugs in alliance with the police. He attacked hapless old men on a peaceful protest, yet some pumpkin heads here want us to believe he is a sane and civil guy. If it was GEJ that bruttalized people like that, these same political and tribal jingoist would not let us hear word on NL! Ridiculous to say the least!

Maybe you are talking about Port Harcourt roads

Water ways: This is just a funny one. Promises and more promises right from Tinubu's time. Nothing has even left the ground. Total failure here. Nothing to talk about

What exactly do you want. You can send a note to the Governor, because you haven't said anything.

Transportation: This to me should have been his biggest achievement, but the ban of Okada has rubbushed it. How? The ban of okada has shown that the BRT project is a failure. Totally inadequate. Doesnt even come close to solving half the problem of Lagos transportation. Now, people are trekking like real villagers that Fashola has turned them into and they are swearing for him while they trek. Lagos is now total chaos. The traffic has escalated like times 4. What Okada ban was supposed to achieve, has turn into a total disaster. 3 to 5 hours now to go from Ikeja to VI or back, gauranteed! The traffic is alraming now! No transport on the road. People wait at the busstop for 2,3 hours trying to get a bus or keke. That is the legacy of a failed administrator who knows nothing of how to manage a metropolitan city. He thinks you can just wave a magic wand and scare everyone into submission. And some propaganda crew here wants us to believe he can manage Nigeria. He tops it up with the enactment of the Lagos traffic law 2012. A draconian law that looks like it was written by arrogant baby lawyers. I have read and re-read the law and it makes for a fine comic relief. many of the laws there will not stand a challenge in court. They are as draconian as it gets and many parts of that law contradicts the constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria. The late Gani would have made a piece meal of it!

Have you ever led a group before, not to talk of managing a state of 16 million residents in the smallest state in Nigeria.

Public Amenities: Another big zero! Lagos, after 13 years of ACN rule, still doesnt have public water. I mean in 2012, you cannot open your tap and get clean portable water. You cannot even get unclean water, with all the water in Lagos. A city where you dig only 5 feet in some places and hit water, you cannot get pipe borne water in your house. Yet the state government collects all sorts of taxes like there is no tomorrow. I dont know how a government that cannot even provide something as basic as public water is considered fit to rule Nigeria. Only sychophants would endorse that!

After 13 years of ACN rule, Lagos still reminds me of the movie, slum dog millionaire! That movie should have been shot in Lagos. Would really fit! Fahosla is like a doctor who rubs skin lotion on a sore and closes his eye lid tightly, believing that when he opens his eyes, the sore would have been completely gone. That is what he did in places like Oshodi. He brought in bulldozers and task force agberos and chased everyone away and celebrated the clearing and cleaning of Oshodi. But he forgot that the dirt in Oshodi were created by a depraved and down trodden masses. So by clearing the dirt and not alleviating the plight of the depraved masses, he only rubbed body lotion over a bad sore. Now Oshodi is fast becoming like it was before. And several more Oshodis are springing up. Like Egbeda, Ketu, Ikorodu, Ojodu Berger and many more are becoming the new Oshodi because the problem was never solved. It just got replicated! Please if you want to talk about Fashola's achievements, talk specifics and we would take you serious. as for specifics, they are not impressive. They are all wash! Propaganda at its best. The strategy is simple. Do a project with 1 million naira and promote it with 100 million naira. Fashola will be a very good music artist manager in Nigeria!

I don't know what you want, but it is evident this is about 2015. Why are you spreading falsehood? We keep promoting mediocrity, yet we expect our country to move forward. Ok GEJ is best President in the world, and Amaechi/Uduaghan, Theodor Oji, and Peter Obi are the best governors.

[quote author=Ileke-IdI]I used to pronounce irohin as iroyin.

Is it me or is it an Ekiti thi g?[/quote]There is no 'H' in Yoruba alphabet.

Sincere 9gerian: It is obvious that the president doesn't even know much about the N16billion Sambo's residence contract. For this same issue, the 'retardinhos' have attacked, abused and cursed GEJ. Do we really expect one man to know everything and be involved in everything? As far as I'm concerned, there are institutions and those institutions should do their work and where they fail, all attacks should be directed at them, not an 'omnipresent' president. In this case, where the contract sum appears too high, the senate committee should do their work(which they'r already doing), the budget office, ministry of office and other parties concerned in the project should also do their work. Where foul play is suspected, the law should take its course.
But I completely understand the retardinhos. It is always convenient for them to blame everything on an 'omnipresent' president so as to score cheap political points

Another evidence of how clueless Jonathan is.

abbakacici: People in nigeria that their wife replace in nigeria are sen bola tinibu , bukar abba of yobe state and gyang fulani of plateau state

What about Zainab Kure and Mrs Ufot Ekaette.

I must confess this is a smart move by some power Muslim politicians. They want a figurehead Deputy Governer that will not challenge the Man Yero.

seanet02: Negro please remove The Mighty and Powerful Egba Kingdom from the list of kingdoms that must pay tribute to the Alaafin of Oyo.
If you check your facts right, Egba kingdom was the only Kingdom that actually Won its independence from Oyo through Rebellion, we defeated them in a war led by Lisabi Agbongbo Akala.
My forefather, Sarunmi Olowe Aseru bote, Sarunmi di kuku di kaka loju Ogun, fought alongside Lisabi in that war.
Others have it because Oyo collapse when The British came in finally. So speak for Lagos and others but not Egbaland.

I'm surprised we don't know much about our past. If you read history books, you would see our the Ekitis fought and defeated the Oyo empire. Ekiti people and their Ijesa brothers defeated the Oyo empire in the Kiriji war. The War was lead by General Fabunmi of Okemesi Ekiti and Ogedengbe of Ilesa.
