LRNZH:Pls you and Fashola should both go to Nursery school classrooms and tell this your COCK & BULL story to them.....they will find it interesting! APC, party of hate-filled folks who can't reason logically! Oh! I forgot to say this.....the recent rainfalls in Lagos have been too much for the common man who has no car. It's GEJ's fault! Vote for change, vote Buhari and he will give us moderate rainfall. Buhari will fix all our sunshine & rainfall problems in this country! ![]() |
kraftykc:....and who says the President "commissioned" the 2nd Niger bridge? What TV station gave you such news? GEJ only flagged off the construction of the 2nd Niger bridge, not "commissioned" it. .....and who says there is no work ongoing there? So you now sit in your house or where ever you are to decide what Government projects are ongoing or not? The same 2nd Niger bridge construction work i saw with my 2 eyes yesterday on my way to Owerri while going through Onitsha? Mr man, rather than spend all your life hating on GEJ and fabricating lies against his government, i suggest you go do something more worthwhile.....like playing ludo! But before then, pls take a trip to Onitsha, when you get to the current Niger bridge, look southwards and see the machinery working on site, you will also see the several piling operations going on simultaneously. Go and check it before considering yourself qualified to comment on anything about the 2nd Niger bridge! |
taharqa:1,000,000,000,000 Likes!!! |
Uteghe:Ok....so who asked you if you are a Niger Deltan or not? What relevance is that to the topic? You went to Federal University Otuoke, and all you could see was just one building, right? Clap for yourself! .....in fact, clap for yourself again!! I say CLAP FOR YOURSELF AGAIN!!!!!! |
anulaxad:Aha!! Now i see the reason for your gross ignorance. You don't live in Nigeria!! Please, when you have travelled down to Nigeria, and you have seen some of our TRANSFORMED Federal Roads around the country (start with Benin - Ore road), and you have spoken with some of our farmers to know why Nigeria does not import as much rice as we used to despite increasing population, and you have asked to know why food prices did not skyrocket during the last December/January yuletide season, and you have taken a few trips in our new Airconditioned trains, and you have seen some of our newly set up Industries (including car/vehicle assembly plants and several others) that came as a result of favourable GEJ policies..........then we can talk. Until then, we are not on the same page because even if you are not a card-carrying APC member, it is obvious that most of your "news" sources on Nigeria is from APC propaganda media. |
anulaxad:At least those of us who have our clear eyes open do not disagree with the fact that there has been corruption in every Government in Nigeria since independence, and Jonathan's Government is not an exception, but it becomes very annoying when APC employees like you try to make it look as if GEJ invented corruption in Nigeria, and that Buhari is a saint. FYI, Buhari is no saint, he is a corrupt man who benefits from corruption and claims there is no corruption in any system he is "chopping" from. No wonder he chopped from Abacha's government and claimed Abacha was not corrupt. No wonder Buhari is claiming he wants to come and fight corruption, but he is using the funds Bola Tinubu and Rotimi Amaechi have stolen and diverted from public treasury to fund his campaign. Tinubu is a personification of CORRUPTION, and he happens to be Buhari's bed-fellow. Our wise elders will always say "show me your friends, and i will tell you who you are". Mr APC, it is obvious that Nigeria has issues with corruption, but GEJ is also trying within his capacity to fight it. The fact that he is not violating human rights and throwing suspected & innocent people into jail like your Buhari does not mean he is not doing anything about fighting corruption. Buhari is not a saint! Buhari is a crook & a thief, else he will not tell us he has no money to buy nomination form, but his children school in UK universities and his wife can easily donate N137million drugs to Internally displaced persons in Adamawa state! Buhari is a rotten liar! I refuse to be deceived by Tinubu and Buhari in the name of fake change! Jonathan will win again and you will cry! Jonathan will win again and APC will bury their heads in the sand of shame!! Jonathan will be president till 2019, and APC will have to get used to that!! |
Sirniyeh:.....but I thought Buhari said Abacha's Government was not corrupt? Hmmm.......maybe somebody needs to send Buhari to school so he can learn the meaning of the word "corruption" |
chemali:There may be no video recording of the 2002 campaign because technology was not as advanced as it was in 2011 and today. But if you claim Buhari never urged his supporters to soak the streets with the blood of dogs & baboons if "elections are rigged and he loses", then i'm afraid you hold the record for the most deceived, most deluded and most blinded APC goon!! I have pasted a few video link evidences below if you care to hear the truth on the matter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGl4JrGonIE&feature=youtube_gdata_player https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcZVwA3WcZU&feature=youtube_gdata_player |
WisdomFlakes:And people like you were silent when GEJ's convoy was stoned in Bauchi. You didn't say Buhari was desperate when his supporters were busy destroying PDP billboards in Kaduna and Borno states? You didn't say Buhari was desperate when his supporters were defacing PDP banners & billboards in Lagos? APC and Buhari do not own the monopoly of violence. So get used to it and stop whinning & throwing your toys around!! |
chemali:I knew it! You would pretend as if you had never heard that Buhari's "muslims vote only muslim candidates" statement he made during his 2002 campaign for 2003 Election. You would pretend as if you've never seen Buhari's 2001 Newspaper interview where he openly said "he will not stop supporting the agitation for the total implementation of sharia, not just in Northern Nigeria, but across the whole of Nigeria". You would pretend as if you've never heard when Buhari was urging his supporters to commit post-election violence against christians by telling them to soak the streets with the blood of the dogs & baboons if "elections are rigged and he loses" Mr Buhari supporter, why is it the deceived APC employees like you that are always the ones coming out to try so hard to defend Buhari and tell us he is not a violent extremist? Has Buhari at any point in time come out to deny that he made these statements of his i quoted above? At least, he should have come up to say he didnt make those statements and that they were ploys by PDP to discredit him, but he has never even attempted to deny them or even say he was sorry for making such statements. This is the Buhari you want to come here and defend? Oga, Abeg park well joor..... |
chemali:Liar!!! Jonathan has never ever said christians should not support a muslim candidate. Tell us when Jonathan ever made any such statement. pls tell us with proofs! On the other hand, Buhari is the first and only Nigerian politician i have heard openly saying muslims should vote only muslim candidates in elections. Go and listen to some of his campaign speeches starting from 2003 elections. He did not say it in private, he openly said so. It is the desperation of APC and some "born to rule" northern elders that are creating the so-called religious division in Nigeria. Not Jonathan!! You must have heard Buhari make that statement about muslims voting only muslims, but you are probably pretending as if you've never heard it before, and you're coming here to spew thrash about Jonathan dividing the country along religious lines as if you can quote anywhere Jonathan publicly urged christians not to vote for or associate with muslims. You have been deceived by APC and you are now looking for who to deceive! |
Icekyng:Your statement above just confirms you're a typical blind GEJ-hating APC employee. You are one of those who hate GEJ for no reason! The answers to all these questions you are now asking above were all given in my last reply to you which as you clearly said now, YOU HAVE REFUSED TO READ. Lack of knowledge is not only detrimental to you, but it can be detrimental to people around you. You need to CHANGE your gross ignorance. when you start reading and making use of your God-given brain to analyze issues, it will be difficult for you to be deceived by APC liars. Until then, i pity you! |
Icekyng:What exactly is "brilliant" about his comment? Were you not in this same country 2years ago when the Army under the former COAS Lt. Gen. Ihejirika was seriously pounding Boko Haram and was probably on the verge of wiping them out before your hero Buhari and some disgruntled elements started crying foul? Were you not in this contry when Buhari openly made the statement that the Federal Government should not be too hard on fighting Boko Haram, and that they should be given the same kind of gentle treatment that was given to Niger Delta militants before the amnesty? Were you not in this country when Buhari said "an attack on Boko haram is an attack on the north"? Were you not in this country when the running dog of the APC establishment - Nasir El-Rufai started shouting that the army under Lt. Gen. Ihejirika is committing genocide against the north in the name of fighting boko haram? Were you not in this country when some northern elders and El-Rufai decided to drag Ihejirika to International Criminal Court for genocide, all because Ihejirika had come out hard against boko haram initially? Was it not too much pressure from the likes of Buhari, El-Rufai and some northern elders that made Jonathan fire Ihejirika and replace him with the new Army chief who initially took a softer approach to appease the cries of those northern elders? And that initial soft approach in addition to the false cries from The northern elders about genocide made boko haram grow into the kind of monster they are today, and also made it difficult for Nigeria to acquire more arms to fight the war because the people who should have sold arms to us refused to do so on the basis of the cries of genocide coming from the likes of El-Rufai and the northern elders So you were here in this country when all these things happened, and yet you come here to tell us that guy's comment was brilliant? I wonder who your English teacher was, that they couldn't explain what the word "brilliant" really means. |
sayemma:This is why i so hate this APC thing! They are the worst set of scammers & hypocrites! Armed robbers invade a bank in Lekki, APC says it's Jonathan's fault. Jonathan builds many Almajiri schools in the North to take care of the neglected Almajiri children roaming the streets, APC gets angry and says the schools are useless. Some job seekers unfortunately get into a stampede and die in the Immigration interview, APC says it's Jonathan's fault. Jonathan commiserates with the families of the dead job seekers and promises them they would be compensated with some money and automatic job slots for family members, he then fulfils that promise made, and APC says Jonathan is a bad man for fulfiling the promise. APC says they want to build 4million new houses for the common man within the next 4years if elected......I laugh in Chinese!! How many houses has Fashola the APC hero built in Lagos within his 8years in office? APC, please first of all, tell Rauf Aregbesola to pay Osun workers the 6months salary he owes them before you people come to tell us you will bring change to the common man. APC is a scam! And i pity those deluded youths who are putting their hopes on such a pack of liars and scammers. |
podosci:Mr APC employee, i know you have a duty to protect your principal/hero Buhari, but one question you all have woefully failed to answer is this; why can't Buhari write to Cambridge to issue him with a replacement certificate which he can then submit to INEC? Why are you all trying to convince us so hard that Buhari has a certificate, and you are using every means to convince us......except showing us a copy of the certificate ![]() US President Obama once had a similar problem where he was accused of not having a US birth certificate, and to prove his critics wrong, he did the right thing by showing his certificate to the public and that ended the controversy. Why can't Buhari follow that example if he truly has an unforged certificate Why?? Isn't it corruption for a man to try to become president without submitting all the constitutionally required documentation to INEC ![]() |
monkautos:I have very little reasons to doubt this, because even till today, it is a common practice in most Universities in core Northern Nigeria (maybe with exception on the likes of ABU) to admit students who do not have their complete minimum 5credits. I served in Niger State, and many students from FUTMinna usually registered in my school to write WAEC SSCE in order to get their complete 5credits. Some of the students I met were already in 3rd and 4th year, but they were still writing WAEC to make up for papers they should have had before even gaining university admission. This is for those who keep asking "how could Buhari have been admited into the army without his certificate"? |
frank317:If i were God, this is what i'll be thinking after reading this comment; "I created everything, created the earth, created this Franky guy, i gave him a brain to think, i gave him free access to my oxygen which he has never paid for nor does he know how the oxygen came about before he was born, i did all these and then he turns around to question me for doing what i want to do, the way i want to do it? ***well.....thank God, i'm not God*** However, you may need to watch this clip address some of the questions you have on God's existence. |
Dolemite:Young lady, i would like you to watch this youtube clip from the link below, you will hear the answers to a lot of the questions you ask: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gzpjzS2GIc&feature=youtube_gdata_player In addition to the questions that will be answered from the video clip, i will just add these few things; 1) God created man for the primary purpose of having a relationship with him. That relationship is what was lost in the Garden of Eden when the first man sinned against God. This Relationship is not like servant-master thing where the servant must obey because he has no choice but to obey. God gave us a freewill because He does not want us coming to Him as a duty, rather He wants us to come to Him because we love Him and we have seen His love. The reason an atheist like you is still breathing God's oxygen till today despite your disdain for Him is only because God has given all men the right to a free will here on earth. That is why people can insult God and it seems as though nothing happens. But sadly, that free will lasts only while the person is alive here on earth. Cos when your eyes close in death here on Earth, they open somewhere - heaven or hell! But your relationship with God here on earth is what determines where your eyes open when they close here. 2) It takes faith to believe in God, but it takes a whole lot more "faith" to believe there is no God despite all the evidence we see around us! Imagine the complexity of the human body, the galaxies, the sun, the oceans and the life in them? How could a sane person possibly believe these things all came from "nothing", or that they came from a "big bang"? How can an ordinary explosion cause planets, stars, the earth and humans to appear from no where? does that even sound sensible to you? Even common sense should tell you that if you want to create/build a new house or machine, you need to first sit down and think about it, design it and then build it by yourself based on your design. Why aren't cars and human beings coming into existence when you create an explosion bang today?? So why should the origin of life and the planets be any different? 3) God has revealed Himself to us through the bible, and any question you have about him can be answered if you go through the bible. Yes, sometimes God could reveal Himself to people in dreams and visions and other supernatural occurrences, but the primary way He reveals Himself to man is through His word written in the bible. If your genuine interest is to really know if God exists or not, you can watch the youtube video clip from the link pasted above, but if your mind is made up, and you believe "God is crap", then do not bother watching it and wait till the day you die and step into "the unknown". There are no atheists/unbelievers in Hell. Do you know why? It's because once a man dies, his free will comes to an end, and he is taken to judgement to give an account of his life, and when he is thrown into hell for not having a relationship with God, those atheist views of life while he was on earth will disappear from him very fast! |
plaetton:oh gosh!.........where did this "so-called" christian drop from? Just look at your hypocritical view of life. Go read the book of Job 1:1-3, and you will see where God described Job as the WEALTHIEST & HOLIEST man in the whole land during his time. Go and read about Solomon's dream where God appeared to him and told him to ask for anything, he asked for wisdom, but God also told him that beyond wisdom He will also give him riches. Go and read 3John 1:2 and see what it says. Go and read the story of Abraham and see how God blessed him with the greatest wealth during his time. The same God that blessed all those people has not changed, and he is still blessing more people who serve Him today! If I am struggling in life and praying to God to help me make it in life, and i have a Pastor who helps me in praying to God, and because of His prayers God answers me and i become wealthy, tell me why i shouldn't appreciate that Pastor who prayed for me with a gift!! Mr, let me tell you now, you need to open God's word and start believing everything in it. You need to believe God is good and He blesses those who genuinely serve Him You need to believe sex outside marriage is a sin and it will take you to hell if you continue in it You need to believe Heaven and hell are real just like your house is a real location You need to believe that only Jesus died to save you from eternal damnation and accept him genuinely into your life You need to know that God loves you enough to grant you your genuine heart desires if you commit yourself to serve him genuinely and without any form of hypocrisy You need to know that there are no UNBELIEVERS IN HELL BECAUSE ONCE ANYBODY DIES WITHOUT CHRIST, HE/SHE WILL FIND HIMSELF IN HELL, AND AT THAT POINT THEY WILL NO LONGER BE ARGUING IF HELL IS REAL OR NOT, OR IF JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY TO GOD/HEAVEN OR NOT, COS IT WOULD BE OBVIOUS BY THE TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE, BUT UNFORTUNATELY AT THAT POINT IT IS TOO LATE TO MAKE AMMENDS! Don't get yourself into that position, you won't like it. You still have time to believe God's word in its entirety while you are alive. A word is enough for the wise. I drop my pen here |
Akshow:Typical APC employee!! When you confront them with reason and facts, they either shut down their thinking faculty and start arguing blindly with hate against GEJ, or they just pretend as if they can't hear what you're saying and they run away. **smh** |
plaetton:I have not met you physically before, but from your comments, i can tell you are not a christian, but even if you say you are one, then it's obvious YOU ARE A HYPOCRITE!!! You probably go to work everyday trying to hustle for money so you can enjoy a good life, but you are here complaining that some people who work for God are getting blessed with the same material things that you too also goes out for everyday to be able to acquire! I see in you a type of "so-called christian" who doesn't know God! You are the type of christian who doesn't believe everything in God's word in the bible, and that is why you know it is clear in the bible that Fornication is a sin, but you can't stay away from sex outside marriage!! I mean you!!! In as much as covetousness is a sin, and God's word is clearly against greed & covetousness, but God still has His own way and time for blessing those who genuinely serve Him. Go and read 3John 1:2 to see what it says about genuine prosperity! |
AllNaijaBlogger:Mr man you better stop deceiving yourself in the name of trying to be religious. If God blesses you now with a Range Rover, won't you accept it!!! ![]() The heaven you want to go to, is it different from the heaven the Man of God wants to go to? If not so, then why the double standard? God is not a respecter of persons, and what He does for one, he can do for another! If God can bless you with material possession, He can also bless any other person including Men of God with it, and you cannot question God for it. Go and read the book of 3John 1:2 and you will see what God's view on prosperity is. Your only concern with prosperity should be how to use it to help as many people as possible when God blesses you whether as a Pastor or ordinary church member and not to stay there criticizing the fact that God has blessed some Men of God. For your information, God is not wicked and He rewards people who serve Him genuinely with blessings here on earth and even in heaven. If your boss in the office can reward you with a salary at the end of the month after working for him, is God not wiser than your boss to understand that "the labourer is worthy of his wages" Then why should you get jealous or angry when God rewards or pays His own servants with material blessings?? |
Akshow:You can explain it by understanding the fact that these Nollywood people are not unreasonable and blinded by Hate like you!! They understand that democracy is a situation of "we agree to disagree", unlike Buhari your hero who was busy locking up everyone who was seen to disagree with him for whatever reason! These Nollywood people understand and value the freedom of expression and the human rights they enjoy under the democratic Government of GEJ, and they are not willing to trade it for anything to go back into bondage under a Buhari Government. A government where if you disagree with the government you get thrown into prison. These Nollywood people are wise, reasonable and they are not blind with foolish hatred like you!! It is FOOLISH HATRED from some of you APC people that made one of your ogas to come out and say "Even if AIT shows Tinubu & Buhari robbing the Central Bank with a gun, we will still vote for them". Just because you are blinded by hate and you are unreasonable does not mean everybody has to dance to your whims and caprices, so free these Nollywood people and allow them enjoy their freedom of association as enshrined in the constitution!! |
@ OP: Why do you say "Thank you sir" to your father when you are a student and he tells you he has just sent money to your account for your school fees and upkeep? By the way, all those problems you listed are very plenty o! I'm still wondering how all those problems can be on one person's head and he is still alive? Hmmm........ |
The entire Ogudu Foreshore scheme initially earmarked for low cost housing scheme sold to a company belonging to Prince Dipo Eludoyin – a crony of Bola Tinubu? How much was this piece of real estate sold? And where did the money end up in? No newspaper would report this. Bola Tinubu’s wife, Remi Tinubu, built the massive New Era Foundation youth camp at the junction of Eleko, off the Lekki-Epe express road, with Lagos State funds. Today, the project is now her personal property. No newspaper would report this. Fashola during his electioneering campaign of 2011, in no uncertain terms, promised that he would build the 4th Mainland Bridge. Today, there are no signs of the project kicking off. No newspaper editorial reminded him of this campaign promise. The 1,000 hectares of land valued at about N75billion located at Lakowe near Abijo at Ibeju- Lekki Local Government and given to Lekki Concession Company (LCC). It is partly- owned by Tinubu and Fashola. It has been been developed into a golf course and housing estate by Assets and Resource Management Ltd (ARM) as ADIVA project. We are still waiting for a newspaper to do an editorial on this. Fashola built a bridge to connect Lekki to Ikoyi. The bridge, the Lekki-Ikoyi bridge, is described as a “suspended bridge”. The bridge is by no means a suspended bridge. Most Lagosians are clueless of what a suspended bridge is. However, they accept it as that. The bridge costs the State a staggering N38 Billion ( they creatively skimmed off N2b from N40B, to make it N38Billion, in order to give the project amount some decency). The House of Assembly’s verification exercise rated the bridge as being not worth more than N7 billion. Whatever happened to N31Billion is best left to the imagination of the tax payers. No newspaper has reported this. Still on the Lekki-Ikoyi bridge. The Lekki-Ikoyi “suspended” bridge is a 1.8km bridge. It is built on low-tide (shallow) waters. It was built at an incredible cost of N38Billion. That is over $250m dollar for a 1.8km bridge! Mathematically, that translates to about N18million per meter length (over $120k per length). In other words, N420, 200 per inch ($40, 0000 per inch). Perhaps, the bridge was built with gold-plated gravel and steel. However, this leaves one wondering how much it would then take Fashola to build the fabled 4TH Mainland bridge, a bridge that is expected to span 15km. |
Over 70% of Lagos State Government contracts are concentrated in the hands of his proxy – Dr. Tunji Olowolafe. However, this is the clearest indication of the betrayal of trust by Governor Fashola. This is against the Oath of Office he swore to. It is a violation of Sections 14(4), 15(5) and 17(2a) of the 1999 Constitution on which social objective of a just, free and equitable social order is founded. No newspaper would report this. Obafemi Awolowo Way, Ikeja, is a road of about 1KM. The contract for the supply of dissel for the generators that power the street lights was awarded to a Bale (community ruler). The Bale is a very close ally of Fashola and Bola Tinubu. The Bale is paid N16m monthly. No newspaper reported this. In a State where pipe-borne water is almost non- existent, Fashola spent over N13Billion on planting grass and flowers in just a few places that constitute less than 1% of Lagos land mass. According to them, most of the money was spent in importing palm trees from Niger Republic, a sahel region belt, when Lagos is in the rain forest. This explains why most of the trees have dried up. The news media conveniently didn’t get a hint of this news item. The INDICATOR magazine, a magazine that focuses on the activities of the Lagos State government, is falsely passed off to the public as a private magazine. It is not. It is actually co- ordinated and published by Tunji Olowolafe and Hakeem Bello, SSA (Media) to BRF with government money. Of course, no newspaper would report this. Fashola’s god-father, Bola Tinubu, while he was the governor, allocated to himself the former Strabag yard that is located beside the Lagos State Secretariat at Alausa, Ikeja. The land has now been developed to bear one of his investments – The Ikeja Shopping Mall (Ikeja Shoprite). No newspaper would report this. In six months (between January and June 2009) Fashola spent money on several faceless organizations in the form of subventions, grants and donations, A total of N2 billion was given out in the process. No newspaper would report this. The 14-hectare Parkview Ikoyi Estate foreshore land reclaimed by Lagos State Government is now owned by Bola Tinubu. No newspaper has reported this. The contract for the installation of CCTVs on the street of Lagos was awarded to one of Fashola’s relatives. The relative claimed to be acting for CISCO. The contract was awarded for $62 million dollars, while the rejected quotation for the contract was $30 million. It is important to note that this was only a pilot scheme. No newspaper reported this. Prince Dipo Eludoyin is a personal friend and proxy for ex-Gov Tinubu and Gov. Fashola. They had arrangements with him (Eludoyin) for some prime lands in Lagos to be sold to him. These lands were eventually sold to him at ridiculously low prices. Some of the lands include: : The 3.8- hectare of land of Lagos State Fisheries office in VI (beside the Institute of Oceanography), the fishery landing jetty at Badore (where the Ilubirin fishermen were to be relocated); the entire Ogudu foreshore scheme initially earmarked for a low-cost housing scheme; the Ilubinrin housing estate (which used to house Lagos state civil servants and judges up till 2007); the former Julius Berger yard at Oko Orisan, Epe. No newspaper would report this. The entire maintenance contract and management of hospital equipment at the LASUTH was solely concessioned to Olowolafe’s company by the Tinubu administration at an annual payment of N850m paid upfront. The Fashola’s government retains this arrangement No newspaper would report this. Billions of naira have been paid not once, not twice for the development of Oyingbo market for which no appreciable level of work has been done? Oyingbo market is still in the same state that it has always been. The evidence is there for the public to see. No newspaper would report this. Fashola lambasts the federal government, consistently, for its failure to provide steady power supply. No newspaper editorial has ever been written to ask him why he has failed, in 8 years, to provide Lagosians with pipe-borne water. In a State where children are sitting on the floor in classrooms, where unemployment is rampant and poverty pervasive, Fashola paid the wife of a controversial pastor over N600 million, in two years, for Xmas Decorations for about six streets in Lagos. No newspaper reported this. A 250-hectare of land valued at about N35billion and strategically located adjacent to the Ajah- Badore junction on Lekki-Epe road. It was original earmarked to build a general hospital to serve the people of Eti-Osa. However, it was stolen by Tinubu and handed over to Trojan Estate Ltd – a company owned by Deji and Wale Tinubu. Today, that property has been developed to become what is today known as the Royal Garden Housing Estate. All these at the expense of the taxpayers of Lagos. No news media ever reported this. Bola Tinubu appropriated to himself a choice public property situated along the Lekki-Epe expressway. It was on this land that he built and part-owns the multi-billion Naira “Oriental Hotels” at the “Admiralty Circle” Maroko. Media houses conveniently turned a blind eye to this news item. In 2005-2006, the Cook County Hospital in Chicago, Illinois, USA donated a set of medical equipment to the Lagos State government free- of-charge. This was when Bola Tinubu was still the governor of Lagos State. Yet, records showed that a company belonging to Tunji Olowolafe was paid for it by way of Letters of Credit for the same equipment. The payment was made during Fashola’s administration. No newspaper editorial was written about this. Mrs. Animashahun heads the Lagos State Building Control Agency. She is a relative of the governor. Also, one Dr. Mrs. Adesina who calls the shots as the Special Adviser to the Governor is equally a relative of the Governor. One Ms. Azeez, a sister to the closest friend of the Governor, Demola Azeez, heads the EKO Project and directly reports to him. There is hardly any Agency in the State today that the Fashola family or Animashaun Family does not prominently feature. This is aside from the in-laws and many relatives of the Governor who returned from the United Kingdom to populate most Lagos State agencies. No newspaper would report this. In 2009, Fashola claimed to have bought two helicopters for an unbelievable N5Billion. It was purchased without a transparent bidding process. They also claimed that the helicopter was built for emergency evacuation, rescue or to even combat urban fire. This was a blatant lie. The helicopters were of generic design. Before public attention was brought to this grand heist by the Fashola administration, the seal of Lagos State was not on it. It wasn’t even in Lagos, but in the Niger-Delta making money for some private people in government. The fraudulent purported acquisition of 2 Bell 412 EP Series Helicopters from a Canadian firm constitute a flagrant violation of Section 123(1) and (2) and Section 120(4) of the 1999 Constitution. Only ThisDay Newspaper reported this (See ThisDay December 19, 2009). However, the consequence of daring to report this, is the reason why the beautiful and imposing “ThisDay Dome”, an exquisite event place, situated along the Lekki Epe Expressway, Lekki, is no more there. Emperor Fashola literarily harassed them out of the state. The Mayegun Scheme was sold to Olowolafe and other friends and cronies of Fashola against public interest without any independent valuation by relevant agency of government? Why is the size of the scheme shielded in secrecy? Why was N5.2 billion for which the land was sold untraceable? Where is the over N2 billion loan borrowed to sand-fill the place? What is the fate of the Tourism and Art-craft sellers chased away from the place? No newspaper reported this. Former Gov Tinubu gave away Hectares of land belonging to several communities-Sirinwon, Igbekodo, Apakin etc in Ibeju Lekki local government to his crony, one Ibukun Fakeye to develop a golf course and housing estate with no regard for the right of the community? In addition, why did the Lagos State Government pay a whopping sum of N5billion for the take-off of the project which today is being singularly handled by Ibukun Fakeye as a private project at the exclusion of any Lagos State Government official? Was this project ever approved by the Lagos State House of Assembly or the amount appropriated in the 2006 or 2007 budgets? No newspaper would report this. Ms. Yinka Fashola is the immediate elder sister of the Gov. Fashola. She is the one superintending over the on-going Lagos State Residents Registration exercise. Nothing less than 7 Billion Naira has been expended on the exercise thus far. Unfortunately, more than a year since the commencement of the programme, they have only succeeded in registering 164,000 people. Mathematically, it translates to N42,682, 926.82 to register one person. Pure waste of tax payers funds. |
Scannews WHAT THE NEWSPAPERS FORGOT TO PUBLISH ABOUT GOV. FASHOLA! BY MALIK SHABBAZZ Fashola claims he spent the sum of N1.5Billion of un-appropriated funds, without approval in demolishing and planting grass at Oshodi. No newspaper reported this. Between January and June 2009, Fashola’s Chief of Staff and PAs spent N290 million in sending TEXT Messages and making phone CALLS on their lines. Of course, no newspaper reported this. P.S: Please, someone, kindly remind me – what did Stella Oduah do again? SMH. Now, permit me to introduce Dr. Tunji Olowolafe. He is the owner of DEUX PROJECT LIMITED. He is Bola Tinubu and Babatunde Fashola’s crony. He is also their biggest proxy. Most contracts that Fashola awards to himself are done using DEUX PROJECT LIMITED. For instance, between January and August 2009, 11 out of 19 contracts in the Lagos State Ministry of health were awarded to this company. Out of N5.6Billion contract in the Ministry of Health, Olowolafe alone collected N5.1Billion worth and was paid 70 percent upfront in cash. No newspaper or other news media reported this. For a State that earns averagely N360Billion, annually, from taxes, isn’t it befuddling that its state-own University, LASU, cannot boast of a hostel facility? Yet, Fashola had the temerity to increase school fees from N25k to N250K. No newspaper has ever written a report or editorial about this. Remember the Bank of Industry (BOI) building at Lagos Island that partially collapsed in March, 2006? On the 21st of September, 2008 the building was eventually demolished. Now guess how much Fashola spent to demolish it? A whooping N1.5Billion! Please, be reminded that this amount is just to demolish a building. Not to build one. Anyway, that isn’t the end of the story. The government of Lagos, a.k.a Fashola administration, later acquired the land (Layeni’s compound) adjacent to the demolished building in the “public interest”. He later resold it to his proxy Tunji Olowolafe. No newspaper has ever reported this. During the Bola Tinubu administration, he awarded the construction of City Hall for N2.3Billion. When Fashola later came on board, he increased the contract sum to N5.2Billion. This project was increased by 126%. The only input he eventually made to City Hall was to change the floor tiles to marble tiles. The news media conveniently missed this news item. The SSA (Media) to Fashola spends approximately N200million quarterly on press coverage and on news media editors. In other words, it is from this money that news media editors are paid to gag them from reporting anything unsavoury about Fashola or his administration. Note that this fund is outside the approved budget, but funded directly from the Governor’s Office. Now, you know why no news media outlets broadcast or publish anything negative about Fashola and his administration. Also, propaganda against their political adversaries is fuelled by this largesse to the media authorities. Of course, this is not the sort of news that Sahara Reporters report about. The Critical Care unit at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) in Ikeja, built and equipped with state funds, is now owned personally by Fashola’s god-father, BolaTinubu. He put one Dr. Sikiru Tinubu, (a supposed cousin of his) to run the outfit. It is run as a private unit and the proceeds are pocketed by the duo. The unit charges its users exorbitantly and most Lagosians can hardly afford to pay its high charges. Most of the revenue is derived from fees paid by the State Government for patients referred there by its General Hospitals. Oddly, this news item evaded all news media. Fashola’s god-father, Bola Tinubu, converted all the plots of land where Lagos Polytechnic was located at Ikosi, near the old toll gate. He chased away the Polytechnic in 2006 and went ahead to allocate the choice plots to himself. The headquarters of Television Continental (TVC) and Radio Continental, which is owned by him, is currently located there. He deprived the youths of Lagos of decent education because of his primitive desire to acquire every real estate that he can lay his hands on in Lagos. As to be expected,Television Continental (TVC) and Radio Continental did not report this. Lagos State generates an Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) of an average of N25Billion to N30Billion Monthly (At least, that is what they declare. It could be more). The company that is contracted to collect IGR is Alpha Beta Consultants (ABC). The company is owned by Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The company collects 10% commission of taxes collected in Lagos. This amounts to between N2.5Billion to N3Billion monthly. On what basis is this 10% commission when the same work can be done by the Lagos State Board of Internal Revenue? No newspaper has ever written a report or editorial about this. Fashola administration once spent N1Billion Naira on “bangers” and fireworks during the New Year Crossover Night. This is a state that its university – Lagos State University (LASU) – cannot boast of a hostel facility. No newspaper reported this. Between January and June 2009, now guess how much Fashola claimed to have used to fuel the fleet of vehicles attached to his office alone? Please, brace up for the figure. N135 million! This amounts to about N800, 000 per day. Interestingly, this was at a time that petrol was sold for N65 per litre, and we all know that government always gets it cheaper. But Fashola claimed to have bought it at N85 per litre. This particular revelation surfaced at a time when members of the Lagos State House of Assembly were looking for a reason to impeach him in 2010. These “Honourables”, led by the Speaker of the house – Adeyemi Ikuforiji, are loyal to Bola Tinubu. They were angry with Fashola for daring to suggest a downward review of the 10% that their god-father, Tinubu, earns from all collected taxes in Lagos. Thus, this revelation came to light. However, when the rift between Tinubu and his prodigal god-son, Fashola, was settled, the case was magically swept under the rug. Of course, this news never made the press. During the Bola Tinubu administration, the LASU IBA road was awarded for N6.2Billion. In less than two weeks when Fashola came on board, the amount was jerked up to N10 Billion. The reason for this reckless increase was never stated. No newspaper reported this. Fashola awarded the contract for the reconstruction of part of Western Avenue (Funsho Williams Road). The road is a two kilometers road (between Abalti Barracks and Costain). The project was carried out by Julius Berger. This 2 KM road costs a staggering N7.7 Billion. Mind you, the contract didn’t include the construction of any bridge. No newspaper reported this. The prime land of 157 hectares with 2.5km of Atlantic beachfront valued at about N10billion and stolen by Tinubu from the communities of Siriwon, Igbekodo, Apakin, etc in Ibeju-Lekki Local Government and given to Mr. Ibukun Fakeye (his crony) to build a golf course and luxury villa with little or no compensation to the villagers. In addition, Tinubu paid $20million (N4billion) out of public treasury to Ibukun Fakeye to commence the project in late 2006. Fashola has since released additional funding for this project, which is not owned by the state government. TVC and Radio Continental will never report this. Fashola’s wife travels abroad at least once in two months. Whenever she travels, she takes N30million per trip from the State coffers, apart from her monthly running cost. No newspaper would report this. What is the status of the Bus Assembly Company- a joint venture between the Lagos State Government and Marcopolo Bus Company of Brazil of which about N2Billion was paid to a foreign consultant and a Nigerian friend of Bola Tinubu in 2006? The objective of the project was to build a bus maintenance facility at the old LMTS yard at Cappa, Oshodi of which nothing has been done till date? Gov Fashola should update the public on this. No newspaper has reported this. Fashola awarded a contract to construct a road and drainage inside Gbagada General Hospital. Of course, the contract was awarded to his usual proxy, Dr. Tunji Olowolafe’s company (DEUX Projects Limited). Now, guess the contract amount? Over N1.8 billion! No newspaper editorial was ever written about this. The Fashola administration boasts of restoring safety and security to Lagos State. However, what is their justification for the Fashola administration, within 6 months (January to June 2009) spending N420million on hiring private security to guard him despite his heavy investment in the Police Force through the State Security Trust Fund. No newspaper would report this. |
![]() itsdumebi:Sean Tizzle knows a correct boss when he sees one ![]() |
You have not CHANGED your immediate family despite the multi-millions you control, and you are promising us you will change a country of over 170million people? APC is a pack of lies only to be believed by people who are too dull to see what is too obvious!! |
datribune:No Sir it doesn't sound more plausible! If such gaffes happened just once, then i would cut him some slack, but not when he has said all of the following: 1) APC = All Progressives CONFIDENCE 2) INEC = Independent NIGERIAN Electoral Commission 3) Professor Yemi Osinbajo = Professor Yemi OSUBADE A man who can't remember his party name or the name of his running mate for an election or the name of the electoral body to conduct the election in which he is contesting must be a very dull man. He has no iota of brilliance in him. You claim Buhari was a General, an alumni of US War college, but you fail to realize that we already know the fact that by default as a military officer he is meant to be sent to such schools by the army. The question should be WHY IS IT SO DIFFICULT FOR BUHARI TO SHOW US A COPY OF HIS SECONDARY SCHOOL CERTIFICATE? He showed us a quickly forged copy of his statement of result, but why can't he just show us a copy of his original or at least contact Cambridge for a replacement copy if he really had an original that was misplaced? In your view Buhari is incorruptuble but his closest political partner is Tinubu a.k.a. Mr Corruption himself! Buhari is incorruptible but he was implicated in a missing $2.8Billion investigation under the Petroleum Ministry while he was Minister of Petroleum under Obasanjo's military regime, and before the Senate under Shagari's Administration could publish it's enquiry on the scandal Buhari acted fast and overthrew the Government. Buhari is a man of integrity but he can lie under oath to say his original certificate is with the military, only for the military to refute his claim and then all he could say is that he didn't know it wasn't with the military. Buhari is a man of integrity but he can come out openly to say that Abacha's Government was not corrupt. Buhari is a man of integrity but he can lie to us that he doesn't have N27million to buy presidential nomination form, and tell us he has only N1million in his account, but his children school UK where school fees are paid in millions of Naira, and his wife so easily donates drugs worth N135million to internally displaced persons. So much for a man of integrity! Integrity my foot!! |
datribune:Ok sir........no problem. Buhari will solve all our problems by waving his magic wand. But please i still want you to watch Buhari's Al-Jazeera interview on Youtube and hear him call your party "All Progressives CONFIDENCE". I would have loved to see the look of disappointment on your face while listening to your great leader Buhari and suddenly realizing he doesn't even know the name of his own political party ![]() |
Arch1:See this hater will lame reasons... At least GEJ employed some people since becoming President even if he didnt employ you. Buhari on the other hand by 1984 sacked 200,000 civil servants and 30,000 soldiers as austerity measures because the economy was in a mess. Even if GEJ doesn't employ one graduate, he is still better than Buhari that sacked 230,000 people even while millions were already unemployed in the job market! You complain that University graduates were flogged by police? Maybe you should go and ask your parents to tell you how Buhari ordered his soldiers to flog not just University graduates but every citizen including elderly men and women especially at bus stops and at other queuing points. In Buhari's regime, flogging of citizens was the order of the day. Buhari is barbaric and a peddler of violence! No wonder he always ensures his supporters soak the streets with the blood of "dogs & baboons" each time he loses an election. Such a man has no place in this country! |
