2mch:
You dont want to be seen as supporting a PDP candidate from your region but you support a PDP candidate from another region behind your people's backs. The candidate that is fond of sharing money with your boy boy in the nass? does that make sense to you?

Seriously what are you blabbing about? That crap up there certainly makes no sense to me.

2mch:
If you dress a pig (PDP) in a dress (another region) it is still a pig. The fact remains that they supported PDP which they were supposed to be fighting against. So definitely PDP is good enough to come back into the SW. They also have good people in their party.

Very simplistic view. Since when has politics ever been black and white.

Your suggestion was that ACN members abstain?

[quote author=EzeUche! link=topic=685136.msg8473355#msg8473355 date=1307462625]I pity those who believe in Tinubu. He only cares about his own interest and not the interest of his own people. ACN controsl the South-West and everyone has to pay homage to Emperor Tinubu. Welcome to the new South-West.[/quote]You have to realise we (Nigerians) are still evolving our democracy. Perhaps Tinubu is after his own interest perhaps he isn't. The SW had PDP majority leadership for 8+ years and went backwards. It's time to try something different and hope.
Tinubu or not, ACN or not, the PDP's time was up in the region. Now we wait on time to see if the vote was right.

It is the same group of people as before. They simply sign on with new user names. Until Seun makes new user registration complicated enough so that it exceeds the short attention spans of these i.d.i.o.t.s, I'm afraid the ethnic c.o.c.k stroking will continue.

And as long as they see the 2 million barrel on the other side. they will never agree to leave. So that why i need to show them why they need to leave , so that nigeria can have peace.[/quote]Yes Sir!

We will "Becomrich or die trying."

Odunnu:
That thread is a laughter tonic. Musiwa is a bot.No?

Musiwa na Kabiyesi Baba. How dare you address his royal highness as a bot. Don't you know he has a lot in common with Oprah, Hilary Clinton, Robin R. Sanders, and of course Michelle Obama.

Musiwa don't mind these people. The SW, Edo State, Delta State, and Benin Republic will "Becomrich, or die trying."

All incarnations of Becomrich, Musiwa, and matemate are the same person. Becomrich where are the maps?

What happened to 'true face' of Lagos? Now it's Lagos Progressives Movement. What will they be called next year?

Becomrich! Or die trying.

This was probably due to the crisis in the Ivory Coast.

My Goodness! That is sickening.

Becomrich! Or die trying.

Kanto:
I think nairaland should be scrapped because it serves no purpose other than being an outlet where cowardly scoundrels use fake handles to pollute the space. I have gone through threads in nairaland and none of them really makes any sense beyond giving an opportunity to the usual hypocrites and cowardly loudmouths to self-service their sadism.

You need to read some of Becomrich's(Musiwa) threads and posts. The man is pure entertainment.

Man I need to visit the technology section way more often. This thread rocks.

Jimmy Boy:
Beind indebted is not a permance measuremetn index, America is the most indebted country at the moment with about $14trillions dollars, are we now suggesting that Oyo-State is better managed than United States.

I can't believe the lies he's been typing in this thread. Extremely remarkable.

This sub-urban train running from Accra- Tema(a distance of about 35 miles) cost the Ghanian Goverment $35 million Dollars, How much is the Ojo -Marina line costing Lagos State Goverment- $500 million dollars. I am not glorifying Akala's reign, I am only saying the guy said he left no debt for the in-coming Goverment. It remains for the in-coming Goverment to refute his claim.

How do we reconcile Fashola's deceit over an inflated and bloated contract with those of Akala,  are they not birds of the same feather the only difference is Fashola is a " lovable rogue" and Akala is not. Are we not talking of the same Fashola that built Lekki at N1 billion per mile, abeg u people let us be objective,

You are a pathetic and untruthful snake.

Wow now that is interesting.

The ability of Nigerians for the dramatic never ceases to amaze me. Sometimes I feel like I'm watching a Nollywood movie in 3D.

playmode:
I know what the OP is talking about because i have experienced something similar in my youth.Though the OP did not specify but common guys we all know what He/she was talking about.The word "falling apart" does not need any analyses before we understand what he/she means.Someone or a group of people need to notify Fashola's Government to do something about this otherwise the BRT will collapse after a few years and a new project similar to it will be initiated only for it to collapse again.

I disagree. We don't know what she's talking about and we don't know what she means. She needed to specify what the problem actually was. Blind criticism is just as bad as blind praise. If one were to act on what the journalist wrote, then one would need to inspect all buses. That doesn't make sense to me.

@Eko-Ile

Are you reading others' responses and taking note? I was not asking for the politically correct PR-machine generated opinion of Fashola. I wanted to know how ordinary Lagosians are feeling about his policies. And that is the kind of reply I have seen in the past 10-15 posts.

@others

More of your personal experiences on how Fashola's policies have touched you positively or negatively.

What is the guarantee that the responses so far in this thread are from people based in Nigeria not to talk of Lagos state?

Kobojunkie:
Lagos State government now taking this on after we have been told, over and over now, that the same Lagos State CANNOT, I repeat, CANNOT rebuild any of the damaged Federal roads running through the state? If this is true, I would like to know what changed. How much is the state really investing in this? Is this really a State Project or the State handling it on behalf of the federal Government?

Extremely irrelevant and pointless. Send that question to the Lagos State government. The answers to your other questions are on the state government's website.

I see you have forgotten to take your pills again.

beejaei:
^^^^

I do not understand. Is my question strange?

Your question is not strange, but asking it on nairaland and expecting some kind of accurate result measure is a bit of an oxymoron. What you should be doing is standing on the streets of Lagos and asking random people this question.

The results of the recent elections are the best measure we have at the moment. And they favour BRF massively.

chamber2:
you are missing it, Indian poverty is somehow concentrated in certain areas like Calcutta, but the Nigerian situation is widespread with varying degrees and manifestations.The Indians have told the world their story and the world is ready to help them.This is evident in the quantum of outsourced jobs going to India and foreign aids/grants.But Nigerians see theirs as western propaganda.

Until we understand the extent of poverty in our land only then can we be able to proffer workable solutions.If we continue to think that we are better than our neighbours, then our salvation is still far away.This ''better than my neighbour'' mentality is obviously tying us down.Apart from a few African countries and very few also in Asia, we are lagging behind and we therefore need urgent help.

Nigerian poverty is disturbing, this is better told when one experiences it.Textbook, magazines, newspapers and the internet cannot exhaustively explain the degree of poverty in Nigeria.

No it is not.

Stop with this "special Nigerian poverty" talk. There is nothing "special" about Nigerian poverty. Poverty is poverty so there is no need to apply some sort of Nigerian factor to poverty in Nigeria. The way forward for Nigeria is to reduce the power of the center (Federal Government).

chamber2:
No! The Nigerian situation is complicated.I[b]n other third world countries as you mentioned, the poor still have access to the basic things of life such as light, good roads, security and food.The only thing is that they cannot afford the luxury of the rich and the middle class.
[/b]
But in the case of Nigeria the situation is heartbreaking.A typical poor person in Nigeria lacks almost everything imaginable.

No they don't. I have to say that statement is 100% untrue.

Just two examples from India. I chose India because poverty there is well documented and these videos were easy to find.

I haven't even mentioned other countries in Africa. Then you have places in South America, South East Asia. Poverty is bad everywhere.
