Senseless.

Your FATHER, GRANDFATHER and all your forbears before them are SENSELESS, you worthless maggot. May the fingers you used to type that nonsense atrophy and rot.

May maggots eat you from your eyes down, and may you die a slow and painful death.

You think this is some kind of joke? DO YOU?

YOU THINK IT'S FUNNY THAT BOLA TINUBU SHOULD APPROPRIATE LAGOS STATE GOVERNMENT PROPERTY TO HIMSELF, AND THAT FASHOLA SHOULD BE PAYING FOR ITS RE-DEVELOPMENT WITH STATE FUNDS, EVEN THOUGH IT APPARENTLY NO LONGER BELONGS TO THE STATE?

What kind of a slowpoke are you exactly I quoted the firm to whom the contract was given. I even quoted the exact contract sum and what has been paid so far. If you were not such a verbally incontinent nincompoop, you would make half an effort to investigate my claims and determine their veracity, instead of coming here to spew balderash.

MIND YOURSELF very well, lest the wrath of disgusted Lagosians with the right means should fall on you. What's going on is bigger than you or your hired gun colleagues. If you put yourselves in the line of fire, well, you'll just have to face the consequences, won't you

OLOSHI, AKOSHIBERO OMO!!

Tpia, how is your post contributing to this debate?? In what way is your written English better than his? Must you actually respond if you have nothing to contribute other than insults?

The man asked how we can get rid of Tinubu and his criminal gang in Lagos. My answer, Dosman, is to vote his surrogattes at the Governor's Office and
the State house of Assembly OUT OF OFFICE.

What you do not know is that Bola Tinubu and Babatunde Raji Fashola are now jointly the 4th largest landowners in Nigeria!! Of course, most of that land is in Lagos State, and used to belong to the people of Lagos before all their dodgy acquisitions.

Check out 4 Queens Drive Ikoyi, which used to be a Lagos State Government Guest House. It now belongs to Bola Tinubu and is being rebuilt into a massive palace by Lagos State Government at the cost of N80 billion. The contract was given to Messrs Cappa and D'Alberto, and Fashola has already paid them N40 billion mobilization.

If you think I'm lying, check out the place and see if there's no construction going on!

FASHOLA MUST GO, TO JAIL. And so, by the way, must his godfather, the man who calls himself Bola Ahmed Tinubu, but who's real name is actually Yekini Amoda Ogunlere!

SEEING THEY SAY IS BELIEVING. I don't need to be reading
any of your cooked up blogs and catalogues. I'm talking reality
here not those silly links.

The last time I passed that road, there were heavy machines on GROUND
and serious work was already going on channeling of water . And this was
before Fashola became the governor of the state.

If you are confused, would you say the Permanent Secretary of Works
and Infrastructure Ministry is also confused.

You can check out the link below.



The five-man ad-hoc Committee set up by the Lagos state House of Assembly to investigate the recently collapsed LASU-Iba road has ordered the Ministry of Works and Infrastructure to forward the project’s contract documents to it.

Chairman of the Committee, Hon. Mudashiru Obasa gave the order yesterday at the maiden meeting with officials of the Ministry, Chairman State Tenders Board and the contractor, CCECC, handling the project.

According to Obasa, before the committee can embark on investigation it requires documents and other relevant agreement papers on the road.

He stressed further that it is only when the committee is in possession of the documents that it can employ the services of consultants to take a closer look at the whole arrangement.

He disclosed that the state government would not fold its hands and watch tax payer’s money being mismanaged.

While debunking insinuations that the House was witch hunting anybody, Obasa said, "as lawmakers we are here to protect the interest of Lagosians and to make sure that taxes paid by them is justly expended. If within a year or two the project has failed, it behooves the House to investigate to forestall future occurrence".

According to him, the LASU-Iba road contract was part of the reasons True Face of Lagos petitioned the House, "so we are back to the same spot, this is strictly the business of the House and I can assure you that we have good intentions", Obasa told journalists.

He also said that if at the end of its investigation the company is found guilty it would be made to shoulder the cost of repairing the road and the House would also instruct the ministry to stop giving the company contract.

Another member of the committee, Hon. Dayo Fafunmi chided the contractor for doing a shoddy job, accusing it of using substandard materials.

"The road is supposed to last 50 years if it is properly done and now less than a year part of the road has collapsed due to substandard materials," Fafunmi said.

In his response, the Permanent Secretary of Works and Infrastructure Ministry, Mr. Wasiu Olokunola said the ministry awarded contract for the road in 2006 during the tenure of former governor, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu for N6billion which was reviewed upwards to N10billion in 2009 when the state government considered the scope of the work on the road.

He however, promised that contract agreement on the road would be provided to the committee, adding that, "the ministry did what ought to be done before awarding the contract to CCECC and soil sample was also carried out".

I have got better things to do. You are simply a waste of time!!

I mentioned earlier that someone's stupidity is on display in the marketplace for the whole world to see. I apologise for the inaccuracy. It's the stupidity of an increasing number of people. Mr. Baslone, please, please read the document in the attached link and see when the road contract was actually awarded, according to a Lagos State government document. Siddon there dey listen to some yeye overfed and overbribed permanent secretary, who was most likely a member of the AC gang before he was appointed to that position. READ IT O, ESPECIALLY PAGE 41, AND DON'T DIE OF IGNORANCE. ODE!!

Is the same with lagos investment, if the names of the owner do not show lagos state, someone is in trouble.

This is precisely what I'm talking about. Moreover, Lagos State Government already has LTV 8, which they could have put the $25 million for a complete turnaround, maybe even put them on a satellite platform. But the lazy gits had to pocket the cash and use HITV to launder it. They'll probably be scrambling around now trying to forge the paperwork to make it look like they bought shares for Lagos State Government in HITV, when actually the reverse is the case.

Somebody must go to jail for this. They actually gave Toyin Subair his initial seed money of more than N1 billion, again from Lagos State Government coffers, without declaring Lagos State's interest in the firm, or buying any actual shares for Lagos State.

desgiezd:
I know of the collapse of a section of the LASU/Iba road, could you please tell us the other newly constructed roads that have failed?

You call the Lekki Expressway a sale? Definitely, you are speaking from a strong point of ignorance. Even at a time that the Federal Govrnment allowed Bicourtney to build MMA2, to operate it for a number of years to recoup their money and then hand over the structure, right now, Lagos/Ibadan Expressway has been given to the same company to rebuild and moderninse, can we now say the FG has sold these two entities to Bicourtney?

I advice that you go and get some knowledge and stop displaying your pathetic ignorance here all in the name of pull-Fashola-down at all cost.

It is your ignorance and arrant stupidity that is clearly on display here for the whole world to see. Let me ask you a hypothetical question:

If you buy a lease in a flat for 30 years, and are able to collect rents on that flat for the duration of 30 years, are you exercising a right of ownership for those 30 years or not

If you're exercising a right of ownership, does the said property not belong to you for the period of 30 years?

In the case of the expressway, the consideration allegedly supplied by LCC is the alleged expansion by one lane on either side of 23 km of an over 60km road at the cost of N2 billion per km.

Their ownership of the road arises from their exclusive right to collect tolls on said road for thirty years. I make bold to say that they would have recouped N50 billion within 2 years, going from the fact that they have provided no alternative. What am I saying sef "They" is actually Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Babatunde Raji Fashola.

And some buffoons will come here to come and chat rubbish about what they know nothing about. Yeye dey smell for all of una nyansh!!

So

baslone:
Tinubu's Administration awarded this contract and it was started during is tenure!

Why must you LIE SO UNASHAMEDLY? Can you not READ ARE YOU SUFFERING SO SERIOUSLY FROM COMPREHENSION DEFICIT THAT you cannot understand the first sentence in the quoted article Let's say the journalist was lying, did Fashola lie against himself when he caused a Prospectus to be published in 2008 which stated that the contract would be signed on 3rd December 2008?

SO THAT YOU AND THE OTHER BIASED FASHOLA RENT-A-CROWD CAN SHUT UP PERMANENTLY, AND FOR YOUR FURTHER EDUCATION AND EDIFICATION, PLEASE FIND ATTACHED HEREWITH A COPY OF SAID PROSPECTUS :

AWON OLOSHI AKOTILETA OMO!!!

xterra2:
Yes the road collapsed as you have shown here again, thats good providing your argument with facts .excellent
But the company that built the road would repair the "collapsed" road FREE OF CHARGE without alausa paying a kobo and it is actually to the sum of 150 million naira exactly $1million,
And to be perogative, last week in one of the print newspapers i saw roads that collapsed in china about 5 and also roads collapses in US even bridges you cannot blame US or China,
But about the Hitv scam i didnt see a source with your post and if i see this in 2 or 3 newspapers or their online edition i will have to believe 100% and condemn Lagos and its gov

Sorry to burst your bubble, but did you read the allegations of Steve Ayorinde? This is the only medium now (internet) that is relatively free of the corrupting influence of the AC criminal gang, of which Fashola is the deputy leader. The conventional media houses have been compromised, with the exception of one or two media groups, therefore, you will wait long before you read this stuff on their pages. This is HOT, incontrovertible inside information, and we have EVIDENCE!!!

Let us see if the EFCC ignore this, and we will know if they've been compromised too. Mr. President, I know you visit this site too once in a while. I hope you will take action this time and let your people at the NIA investigate this. It is not hot air sir. It is VERY REAL and undeclared. The initial seed money to start off HITV was also sourced from Lagos State. Unfortunately, this one, they've covered their tracks. But the EPL $25 million is fresh. Just contact J.P. Morgan and you'll get the information, through the usual channels sir.

PapaBrowne:
No Mr Labalaba! It's obvious your hatred for Fashola is compounding your ignorance to a point of surreal bliss. Everybody knows the HiTV bid was real! What I don't get is what makes it a scam in your thinking??
[size=20pt]Plus it isn't news and there is nothing wrong with Lagos state Govt investing $25 million in what should have been a profitable venture[/size]. That is on the silly premise that your story has any form of credibility.

Labalaba, the people love Fashola. There is nothing you can do to stop him. No amount of smear would change opinions!The man is here to stay. Deal with it!!

The highlighted sentence demonstrates clearly that you are one of those alleged by Steve Ayorinde to be on the payroll of Fashola to help launder his image:

Emmy Boy:
@ Labalaba ", the issue of collapsing multi-billion naira roads, and alleged, "
  please where are these collapsing roads? I'm a bit confused here.

Please click the link below: http://pmnewsnigeria.com/2010/06/22/lagos-n5-billion-lasu-iba-road-collapses/comment-page-1/#comment-8539https://pmnewsnigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/LASU_road_colapse.jpg

Less than two years after it was built, a portion of the over N5 billion LASU-Iba road built by the Lagos State Government has collapsed, leading to heavy traffic gridlock in the area.
A portion of the road from LASU towards Igando at Agboroko and Nigerian Army Officers’ Village bus stop had collapsed after a heavy downpour at the weekend.
Heavy traffic gridlock was noticed to and from LASU all throughout the day as motorists groan and spent hours in hold up occasioned by the collapse of the road, thus, making the lane from Iba to Igando impassable.
Officials of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, LASTMA and the Federal Road Safety Corps had a harrowing experience in controlling traffic on the ever busy route.
The contract for the road was given to the China Civil Engineering and Construction Company, CCECC and the construction of a bridge.   The road was barely two years old before it collapsed on Sunday night.        Motorists who took that route were trapped in the traffic for hours.
Those who could make a u-turn had to do so at every available place to escape from the traffic jam that  lasted throughout yesterday, while motorists who could not turn were trapped for several hours.
Hundreds of Lagosians gathered at the failed  portion of the road, wondering what could have happened to the newly constructed road to have collapsed so soon.
The road collapsed, leaving  a gaping hole across it.
“It happened not too long before I got to the place and luckily there was no vehicle at the spot or commercial motorcycle,” said an eye witness, Mr. Tunde Sulaimon.
Another resident in the area said that “The heaps of refuse and used plastic bottle water inside the hole indicates that the road has been wearing at that portion for long. When it could no longer withstand the pressure of the torrential rain on Sunday, it caved in.
“The fear now is that we do not know whether there are several other places like that on the road that can fail in the nearest future.”
P.M.NEWS observed that many commuters resorted to trekking as  the vehicles they boarded was stuck in  the traffic gridlock.
They called on Governor Babatunde Fashola to do something urgent about the road in order to alleviate the plight of the people.
In the next few days, many Lagosians will still experience traffic gridlock in the area as the failed portion had not been fixed by the state government.
As a result of the traffic gridlock, transportation fares charged by commuter bus drivers  went up. The drivers now charged between N150 to N200 from a trip from Ikotun and Iyana-Ipaja to Iyana-Iba instead of the normal N100 fare.
LASTMA officials, the police and the Federal Road Safety Corps were mobilised immediately the incident happened and they went to the scene to control the chaotic traffic situation

PapaBrowne:
Labadaba or what is the name again. . . . Don't you think you sound pretty pathethic! HiTV scam Abeg go and eat pupu!

Mr browne, or whatever it is you call yourself, your blissful ignorance is what will kill you in the end. This is a statement of fact. As we speak, some REALLY senior Lagos State government officials are running from pillar to post like headless chickens. This money is real. The HITV bid was real. Their loss of the rights was real, and Fashola/Tinubu's FINANCIAL support for HITV is equally real.

The money REALLY IS GONE, and I'm not trying to make anybody unpopular. In the next few months, the whole thing will become public knowledge. I really hope you are not a Fashola supporter, because this issue will give you cardiac arrest, because it will prove what some of us have always known: Fashola as an insider in the Tinubu government, helped Tinubu to perfect all his corrupt scams, and arranged for himself too. Mr. Clean is actually Mr. Stinky!

Toyin Subair, Fashola Involved

The loss of the English Premier League viewing rights is threatening to sweep away the Fashola administration from office. Indications are that some prominent members of the State House of Assembly are about to initiate investigations into allegations that HITV was established with N1 billion of Lagos State government funds. Further allegations indicate that $25 million of Lagos State funds have been lost through JP Morgan, the international investment bank.

It could have been worse. Some senior officials in the government are alleged to have made the money available to HITV to help their recent failed bid for the rights to broadcast English Premier League games in Nigeria for the next three years. It was part of a deposit of $40 million made by HITV, which they cannot recover because they failed to pay the balance of $60 million within the stipulated time. Lagos State was also prepared and had in fact made arrangements for the balance to be paid, but due to delays in the banking system, it did not get there on time, and DSTV stepped in with the full bid amount, thus executing a major coup in the history of African broadcasting.

It would appear from the foregoing that HITV have an uphill task in the years to come, in their struggle to retain their existing subscribers and indeed, recruit more.

For Fashola, the urbane and suave young governor, this may be one scandal too many, following on from the issue of collapsing multi-billion naira roads, and alleged involvement in the sale of the popular Lekki expressway to companies in which he and the previous governor, Bola Tinubu, have financial interests.
