The original intention was to embezzle it but for the cat and mouse relationship between the executive and legislature. No doubt, they would have invoiced a major part of it, the little returned was because they could not tie it to something untraceable. Fashola is a smart thief, they should always scrutinize his budgets very well and cut down any bogus demands.

juman:
But this apc government is a cursed government that has no direction.

Useless government that do budget just to feed themselves not for the people.

segemafia:
Lol! so funny..I do not think this calls for any argument..atleast now they have a good thing to say about the Lagos state government because it has always been different rants about their people been victimised or targeted because they are outsiders....Its actually impossible for you to construct all the roads and projects if there was nothing on ground in the first place.

Lagos is where it is today by the good foundation laid since 1999 by the Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu's administration,and continuity is the secret of the constant growth,so if anyone claims he knows Lagos very well,he or she should know this simple part.

Bottom Line - APC Change is no fluke after all.

Even if they embezzle some funds which is debatable, the common masses can still see and enjoy some tangible basic infrastructures like good roads,schools,Hospitals and what have you.Governor Raji Fashola is an Elite and one of the best thing that ever happened to this state,his great contributions and efforts are what Governor Ambode built on,Calling him a tribalist just because he could not touch your part of the state is just simply been myopic.

Its high time we stopped seeing things from the ethnicity point of view,if you are a law abiding citizen and ready to abide by the laws of your immediate locality then Lagos state and Nigeria should be a home for all...My own little opinion!

coolcatty:
Many thanks for being civil....i appreciate that.

Kindly see my reasons below:

1) Deporting of Igbos and Hausas from Lagos.....i have never heard in my adult life that someone can be deported from his own country till fashola,a supposed lawyer did that.

2)Total neglect of all projects in Igbo dominated areas like festac,okota, amuwo odofin,satellite down to okoko...you need to see what Ambode has done in these areas in less than 2years.

I can't just hide my feelings anymore when I hear government complained about allocation from the federation account.
During Governor Fashola's tenure as Lagos State governor, i'd concluded it will be difficult to see a genius like him in power anytime soon.....
With the deprivation of federal allocation to all CDAs not recognised by the immediate past federal government and free ride of corrupt money flowing through power that be...Governor Fashola changed the face of Lagos in a seemingly impossible task....
The regime of another performing governor, his Excellency Governor Ambode lives one in doubt...in the face of recession and freezing of all channels of corruption and denied federal allocation to the new CDAs, the current Lagos government lives me with curiosity....
Is governance by federation allocation or brainy personality.....?¿
Lagos wears a new look everyday....
Your take great nairalander.

SalamRushdie:
Me şha I can never like Fashola besides he is still proving me right in Abuja where the first thing he did as power minister was to find a way you increase tariffs using lies so he can be accommodated in the DISCO chuwa chuwa...that man is nothing but a corrupts smooth operator but some of us God has blessed with good judgement can see through him any day

SalamRushdie:
Is the Lekki toll bridge free , was it not built with Tax payers money yet Fashola ran it like a PPI and made people pay to use it daily

SalamRushdie:
Who is talking of pedestrian bridge ? Ambode has fixed all the bad road in IKEJA GRA, VI, Ikoyi,ogudu that your deceptive master couldn't fix in 8 years, he has built how many Viaduct bridges that your Fashola couldn't do ..He has fixed the Lekki corridor road with tax payers money a project your Fashola couldn't do even though he made us pay every day for using that road , should we talk about the Lagos Response Unit under Ambode , under Fashola that unit would have been another Agbero dumping ground ....can you see that Last mail under Ambode is even better off abi is it the revamped Lagos police ....Some officers were killed just weeks ago and already Ambode has provided their families with compensation this was something Fashola used to take years to do even though the Lagos security trust fund had the one you to pay .....Abeg tell him to go and complete his illubirin project he abandoned

saintdennis:
What monument has the civilian govt built sef?

Those with info should inform me...

Cos almost every 'decisive' project was handled by the military HOS, since civilians came we see abandoned projects only

hucienda:
Yes boss!

26 years and still standing. The 3MB is iconic. A testament to the military past.

Well done IBB. No matter your faults, that bridge is a reminder to the structures, military regimes put on the Lagos, nay Nigerian landscape. Indeed, a civil and structural engineer - and - an architect's delight.

The National Stadium, Surulere; National Theatre, Iganmu; Kainji Dam; the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport; Three Arms Zone (Aso Villa, Senate & HoR, Judiciary Complex) and so on. All built by the men in uniform!

The fourth republic (not to talk of this current confused, directionless APC administration) is yet to match the structural achievements of the military regimes.

ndcide:
Ambode had been working from day one.

The only people who attacked him, did that because of the exposure of Fashola's criminal deals.

The biggest mistake of mankind is the birth of Proph. mohamed. Imagine the world without mohamed, Syria, Afghan, Iraq, Nigeria, Somalia would have been safe.
Millions of people have died cos of mohamed and millions more will still die cos of this same evil-man.

The whole world should gather in unity and swear for the parents that brought mohamed to this earth. They will never rest in peace wherever they are.

It clearly shows you are Christian or you don't know what you are talking about. Pilgrimage to makkah is the FIFTH pillar of Islam.





- we only go to this places to boost their economy, why not stay here and spend all this wealth in nigeria?
Religion is the opium of the people.

The Akwa Ibom Government says it is planning to establish a functional ambulance services, estimated to cost about N500 million in order to boost healthcare delivery in the state.

Dr Dominic Ukpong, the State Commissioner for Health, who addressed newsmen on Saturday in Uyo, said that the envisaged services would be part of government’s emergency medical programme.

Ukpong said that the ambulance services would likely take-off as pilot projects in 20 out of the 31 local government areas of the state.

The commissioner said that the emergency medical services would help to reach all parts of the state for now, pending when the state would provide primary healthcare services in communities.

“Many things have gone wrong, the primary healthcare is almost extinct, the secondary health system is bad.

“The state has no money to revamp all the comprehensive health centres or cottage hospitals now.

“So we want to establish the emergency medical services, where people can call and the ambulance will come to carry them to see doctors,” Ukpong said.

Ukpong, who noted that the health services in the state were not efficient, promised to improve the situation.

“I have visited some hospitals at night, some have no light, some hospitals have no bedding, no security at light.

“Many people go to the hospitals and do not see the doctors or nurses and there are no drugs.

“Some medical personnel are hostile to patients, and so many citizens turned their backs on the health system, they prefer churches and traditional herbal treatment,” Ukpong said.

Ukpong said that since assumption of office two months ago, he had held meetings with different health workers’ unions on how to improve health services in the state.

The commissioner disclosed that efforts were being made to pay all entitlements of the health workers to boost their morale and ensure effective healthcare delivery.

Gradually the real truth is unfolding. The assets has increased after election
And we thought its 150 cows but now 270 heads of cattle
There's even an Abuja property
And a missing plot of land in PH..hmn that must be in the GRA

Has he been evading tax too since there's no registered company to his name but owned farms/herds of cattle/economic trees.

Interesting....

ShineuEye:
Can Buhari trace his plot of land in Dubai?
Am also trying to trace my plot of land on the moon. Buhari has only N30mil yet his wife can afford N10mil watch.

Who is Buhari trying to fooooool? Who owns that Asokoro lakeside mansion located at number 9, Udo Udoma Street, Asokoro, Abuja?




The N2.1 Billion house below is now my own since Buhari is too ashamed to declare it.

I saw this waec result from my friend cousin, I was wondering is kind of waec result possible in Nigerian. OK if it is possible, did the candidate use is own brain to write this or did the person used any expo or is it a mistake from waec.

This are the questions I do ask my self. So see for your self is this possible in Nigeria?

barcanista:
It was shocking that Alhaji Lai Muhammed, the spokesman for All Progressive Congress (APC) will come out in public to make a remark that suggests that APC leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Hon Rotimi Amaechi have no case pending with EFCC. To quote Alhaji Lai Muhammed "With what evidence will the EFCC go after Tinubu or Amaechi. What were they accused of? Why will they go after them if there are no petitions against them?". Is Lai Muhammed really asking what both men are being accused of? I think it is proper to give him a reminder of events.

EFCC's Investigation on Tinubu
In September 2006, the EFCC Chairman Nuhu Ribadu made known before the Senate that then Lagos state Governor, Bola Tinubu is under corruption investigation that is/was of "International dimension". I believe that Nigerians will want to know the outcome of the EFCC investigation against BAT that was said to be of "international dimension". Rather than coming out to ask Nigerians what "Tinubu" is accused of, it will be patriotic for Lai Muhammed to charge the President and EFCC to show transparency and leadership by telling Nigerians the status of the investigation-to determine whether or not BAT has a case to answer.
Ref:www.ocnus.net/artman2/publish/Africa_8/Looting_EFCC_Report_Indicts_15_Governors_26047_printer.shtml

For the record: At no time did ANY court acquit Tinubu of theft. He was only acquitted on the allegation of operating 10 foreign accounts during his 8years as Governor which violated section 7 of the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act, Cap C15 LFN, 2004 www.vanguardngr.com/2011/12/tinubu-floors-fg/

Petition Against Amaechi Sent To EFCC, Presidency:
On August 5, 2015 it was reported that a group known as The Integrity Group, sent a "well detailed petition of corruption against former governor of Rivers state, Chibuike Amaechi to President Buhari and the EFCC". Neither the Presidency nor the EFCC has denied receipt of the I.G's petition. I don't want to believe that Lai Muhammed made the statement of "no petition" against Amaechi out of ignorance. I will advice that he consult with the EFCC and the Presidency, and encourage them to work on the petition so as to establish the innocence or otherwise of the former governor.
(ref: www.nairaland.com/2505582/petition-buhari-efcc-against-amaechi)

Buhari's Administration Insincerity With Anti-corruption:
Recall that on July 23, Spokesman Femi Adesina made known to Nigerians that the anti-corruption probe will only start and end with the immediate past government. According to him the President won't bother to probe the far past. He further said “The far past will includes Obasanjo and others. But the president has said he will not waste time to go that far.”

However, the above statement is in sharp contrast with Buhari comment/promise when he was running for the same office of the President in 2011 under CPC. In fact, he made it categorically that he will probe from the 1999 administration. In his own words;

https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/NIgerianWorldForum/conversations/topics/100615

A Challenge To President Buhari and APC:
One of the biggest gaffe of the immediate past administration is the inability to bring alleged corrupt officials to justice (just like its own predecessors). The President should live up to his supposed tag as an anti-corruption czar and bring corrupt officers (whether near past, far past or present) to justice. He should revisit the EFCC investigation/report against Tinubu and others; pursue the petition against Amaechi; and bring every official that has stolen public funds to justice. In absence of sincere anti-corruption fight, he will continue to be seen as insincere and unserious.


May God Bless Us All

As for the political liability(atiku), tinubu is preparing him his favourite dish

Tinubu is a local champion.The events of this week has proven he is inconsequential in national politics and is in no position to undermine Atiku
