Re: Best Governor Of The Year 2009 by THEAMAKA1: 2:13pm On Dec 08, 2009
what kind of question is this?
Fashola, DUH!!
to be able to tackle on all the problems in lagos and fix things that needed to be fixed, it takes REAL leadership skills.
Lagos is not an easy task.
but that doesnt mean other governors arent doing good as well.
so poster, what are the requirements?
Re: Best Governor Of The Year 2009 by Spyker: 2:21pm On Dec 08, 2009
Poster, what is the criteria because i know that during the Obasanjo government, there were many awards that my state governor Peter Odili won, now people are abusing him and calling him names. It may be fashola today but when he leaves, people will condemn him. So, what is the criteria for assessment

i'll tell u. . .fashola just released a 20-10 budget of over N400bln. . .with capital project at over 60% of the next yr budget

meanwhile this yrs budget(2009) implementation is put at over 80%

now lets see any Gov, beat that

All he does is attend the Owambes wearing his Gold chain.

Re: Best Governor Of The Year 2009 by tarano: 6:23pm On Dec 08, 2009
I know it's not proper to judge people by their appearance, but guys compare the AKALA's style to say Fashola or Oshiomole, the difference is clear. Oyaato,

AKala is in government for himself, and Bling Bling, I must confess AKALA , Meeeeen he got some bling.

Does anyone know how bleached skin react to gold after a long period of contact?

‘You’re The Best Among Us’—Gov Jang Praises Fashola,







http://happylagosian..com/2009/05/youre-best-among-usgov-jang-praises.html


The rating of the Lagos state governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola (SAN), went up another notch in faraway Jos, the Plateau state capital, where the Plateau state governor, General Jonah Jang (retd), declared him the best among his counterparts in the country.

Governor Jang, who was speaking while receiving his Lagos state counterpart, who paid him a courtesy visit, declared that, “I must say honestly that I rate you the best among us in terms of development in the states we preside over.” The governor, who noted that there is need for state governors to exchange official visits in order to learn from one another, also requested his visitor to consider extending an invitation to him to enable him pay an official visit to Lagos at a later date, to, in the governor’s words, “take a look at what you are doing.

“We should start paying one another state visits to learn from what each of us is doing. Irrespective of our different political parties, we have a lot to learn from one another, and I believe, it is not time for politics, as the president said, it is time to work for the nation,” Jang said. According to him, to work effectively for the nation and our different states, “we should be able to exchange ideas by paying one another official visits,” adding that he has already focused his eyes on the areas of revenue generation and security where he would like to tap from Fashola’s wisdom.

“I am watching your revenue generating system very carefully and we are trying to borrow from you by asking those who are working for you to come and look at our own state,” the Plateau state governor said. Also commending Fashola on the success of his security system in Lagos state, Jang declared; “Again, the former I.G., Smith, told me that he was chairman of the security system you set up and today we hardly hear of armed robbery in Lagos state. I agree again that this is what we have to learn from you, aside from physical development.”

Governor Jang, who said he spent 12 years in Lagos during his service years, recalled how difficult Lagos was then in terms of moving from one point to another, and commended his visitor for the tremendous transformation that Lagos state has recorded in many areas, especially in transportation and the environment. Wishing governor Fashola a happy period in the state, the Plateau state governor,, who noted that the National Economic Council (NEC) also has some top military officers as members, expressed delight that, with his wealth of experience as a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, the Lagos state governor will impact on the council membership what democracy is all about.

there seems to be a lot of dust in Nigeria.

had those flooding photos been taken in the US for example, the water would appear clear, not muddy.

same goes for the roads.

Re: Best Governor Of The Year 2009 by Nchara: 10:41pm On Dec 08, 2009
Tpia, Ibadan in particular is a very dusty place.

@Topic: How do you rate best governor? If gov x receives 200 naira (by virtue of a large population and thus large taxes and other revenues) and executes  5 projects and gov[b] y[/b] recieves 100 naira (due to less population and thus less tax and other revenues) and executes only 2.5 projetcs, is there any difference between their performance?
Re: Best Governor Of The Year 2009 by Beaf: 11:07pm On Dec 08, 2009
[size=14pt]Uduaghan is the best.

I hail Warri! [/size]Warri is much more developed than most state capitals! Akure people, hold your governor to task; Jalingo people, go and hide!

Abeg leave matter jare!  cool
Does "warri_word_of_life_bible_church" maintain the roads in the pic? As far as I know "warri_word_of_life_bible_church" exists in an environment enabled by govt.
Our street lights don't go off in the night.

Abi, are you from Akure or Jalingo?! grin

most of nigeria is the same way.Dusty that is. Maybe not Jos plateau sha.

thats why the roads often appear dusty soon after paving, compared to overseas roads which always look pitch black or dark grey.

dust blows across west africa from the sahara. The winds can also blow across the atlantic from there, and affect weather in the americas.

You will be surprised that if everything is taken together (revenue available vis-a-vis development, how spread is the development, how many people are negatively affected by the development and how many are positively affected, etc), Fasola might not be the best governor
