pinky21: Who is O. J. B

Adex097: nomoreloss wants to donate too??
Make I no talk.
@ojb get well soon

utumunta: A
NB: Anyone that wanted to mention Fashola or Akpabio as doing well, should stop and marry the level of development in those states with what accrues to the state from the FG and revenue.

Firefire: Where are the DEFENDER of Lagos Action Government?
Showing us pictures of elaborate places of less than 2% and nothing done to the rest 98%.
Lagos is indeed working. ( Omaa seee ooo)

Mile 2 to Badagry road is terrible
Come to Agbara up to Badagry and into those areas, forget you are not in Nigeria; maybe Congo or worst place in Africa.
And the ACHen are busy carrying out Lagos and other western state money to expand their bogus territory.
Time shall tell. Nigerians and Lagosians are no fool again.
I hate PDP with passion (Party of Blood sucker)
In fact ACHen in Lagos under Fashola in this his second time is worse than Jonathan government.
We dey wait for those useless and good for nothing lawbreakers called lawmakers to come and get vote in my area under ACHen. You shall surely be STONE TO DEATH. I promised you.
ACHen Local Govt Chairmen? Bundle of nuisance with nothing, I mean nothing attached to their nomination by their useless godlesfather.
Time shall tell. – 2015 is round the corner.
ACHen or whatever you turn yourself into I dey laugh una in Spanish.
PDP IS DEAD ALREADY.
I Think we need Military to take over this country of we ask the colonial master to come back.

“ALL NIGERIA POLICITIANS THAT FAILED TO Deliver dividend of democracy but take please in stealing our money, shall die untimely and with no one to bury their dead bodies.”

naptu2: Yes. The governor said that Julius Berger, in their bid document, identified things that were underneath the road that even the government did not know were there. That's why they got the contract. However, this time, they want CCECC to finish their own portion of the rail project (piling, etc) before Julius Berger begins phase 2 of the road project (Mile 2 to Okokomaiko).

ballabriggs: Labaran Maku, a failed cattle rarer, with zero sense is Jona's 'Minister for Misinformation', one can not but pity my country Nigeria.

Is the man on drugs? What does he smoke?

SLIDE waxie: pls, except for d subsidy buses d govt gave to all states, how is BRT related with d FG in lagos? Are u insane or jes out of senses? Don't u knw d start of the buses in lagos? You assslicker!

Abeg fash, relax, we undstnd. The source of the ministers dullness is not a secret.

illustration:

A person wey get k-leg carry load for head, the load come tilt sideways. You come dey abuse am say make she carry d load properly.

Her response: bros, no be my fault na, una no see my foundation? I get k-leg na!!

Dear fashola, the president(foundation) whom these clueless ministers work for, how will u rate his senses?

U dnt need to feel for the fool, they've gotten a clueless president!
Simples!!

Although his reason for such inflammatory remarks is still hard to discern, he would have done himself and the nation much good by limiting himself to his brief rather than dabbling into issues he knows next to nothing about.

as Lagos State had just done while marking the 6th anniversary of His Excellency, all Maku would have done in his remarks was to concentrate more on the achievements of the Federal government if there is any and if there was nothing to report ( as is clear from his vituperation) he could still have done himself a world of good by keeping quiet (as journalism dictates) than exposing himself to such ridicule through the unguarded statement credited to him.

silat: Maku said brt lanes belong to fg.is that not true? He said Fashola' main challenge is traffic control and environmental sanitation. Is that totally false? Hope truth is not now bitter.

Reptyle: Hear! Hear!

Channels TV need to refrain from casting sensational headlines and exposing their guests to undeserved public ridicule. How could they have cast such a controversial headline after an interview that spanned over 30 minutes and featured 3 guests? That is the stuff we would expect from soft sell tabloids and not reputable TV stations like Channels TV. They really need to watch it.

Certain things happen so that we can put certain phenomena into perspective. Before perspectives though, stating the absolute truth is necessary especially considering the misinformation going around. The worst enemies of the late Chief Gani Fawehinmi would not have the effrontery to say in their private bedrooms that they did more for humanity than the late human rights activist did. I doubt any sane Nigerian would dare say that on national TV. The Channels TV headline that ascribed that blasphemy to me has since been corrected but I wish such headline never happened. This is a country where the headline is the whole news, where even the real news when read or watched doesn’t get put into perspective and essentially where biased hearts get to dictate the direction of the head. I never at anytime said, insinuate or suggest that social media was doing more than Chief Gani Fawehinmi did. The video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SZ1-ktGyvQ says it all but I should say a bit more.

Some have analyzed and intellectualized their bias into the video to suggest the previous Channels TV headline was true but such people cannot claim to be respectful of the works of the late Chief Gani Fawehinmi because if you care so much about bringing another man down enough for you to debase the legacy of a legend, you would have essentially betrayed your claims of respect for same.

Chief Gani Fawehinmi in the argument has been erroneously reduced to the word protests, which was the crux of the argument. He was more than protests. He was a philanthropist who used his money and profession for the cause of the poor. I grew up reading Tell magazine’s reports of his efforts and activities with the likes of the late Dr. Beko Ransome Kuti. These men were not known for just protests they were known for more. They achieved more engaging the military intellectually and strategically than they did just protesting. Kudirat Radio was not your conventional protest but it set Gen. Abacha up against the world powers. I said, “change is not just about protests, it is about everything. You put everything on the table when it comes to change.” I went on to say whatever achievements social media was attaining it could do a lot more and in fact went on to say a lot of what was happening on social media was a kind of “masturbation on nothing.”

This is Nigeria, where you don’t have to be wrong to be seen to be wrong, the wrong headline along with your name makes you wrong. As at the time of writing this piece, less than four thousand people had watched the videos altogether but over three hundred thousand people had an opinion. It is not hard to infer that most people, who passed their opinion on the issue, trusted the erroneous headline, which was bad enough for the otherwise respectable news platform to correct.

Did all the dead heroes of Nigeria’s so called democracy die thinking the fight was worth it? When we had a semblance of democracy, did Chief Gani Fawehinmi celebrate it or did he wish it was not a “civil rule” like he once even called it? I remember him in tears during one of the presidential debates. That was not enough for Nigerians to vote for him. That is not to say we are hypocrites or sycophants, may be to say we are just a special kind of people. If Chief Gani Fawehinmi was alive today, would he depend solely on street protests to salvage our dear country or would he consider other possible options to go with them? Did he use arguments on television, radio and the media of the time as other tools of change or did he stick solely to protests?

Why are we the way we are? Why do we pretend to worship people in death yet never considered them worthy while alive? How many times has Chief Gani Fawehinmi trended on his birthday or death day on new media? How many people even remember to tweet “RIP Chief Gani Fawehinmi” on his remembrance? How many even know his birthday? All of these noises about the video many have not seen are essentially not about these people’s love for the legend but the intent to hurt, an act to make another person look bad.

I’d never in my entire life compare myself to Chief Gani Fawehinmi. I am not writing this because it is the right thing to write even though it is, I am writing this because comparing myself to Chief Gani Fawehinmi is what I don’t have the ability to do. If I were his son, he’d pray for me to do bigger things than he did. If he were alive, he’d pray for me to rise above his successes. That is the way in Yoruba land where I come from. Older people pray for younger people to do more and do better. It is of course not in the place of such young people to claim they did if at all they do. Someone I considered a friend said I’d never be half the man Chief Gani Fawehinmi was. I took solace in the fact that Chief Gani Fawehinmi in death would desire more for me and were he alive would pray for me to achieve more.

Lessons have been learnt. Ours is a tiring society where those you assume are fighting a cause with you are only looking for you to get hit by a bullet so they can finish the job i.e. kill you themselves if you survive the hit. It is a funny society where those you take as enemies are actually friends who want the best for you. It is a society where people do not care about the memories of great men who have gone to the beyond as long as those memories are used as tools to take other people down. It is a society where a part of the press decides to take you down if you don’t pay or pay enough. It is a society where saying the press can do better, rise above junk gets reported as saying the whole press is useless.

We can do better as a people. We can elevate issues beyond looking to make others look small, disrespectful or unkind to the works of others. If protests alone could bring change Spain would not have one of Europe’s highest unemployment rates because they had about 3000 protests last year, Egypt would be a paradise today, Syria would not be in war and Tunisia would not be in a fix. There is nothing that cannot be improved upon. The essence of life is to get better and do better than the past. Suggesting to improve on the ways of the past is not saying those that lived in the past did less. It is saying those who live today can do better.

I have not written this for those who believed I made such a blasphemous statement about Chief Gani Fawehinmi – they will believe any evil about one anyway. Some were born to only hate on others who were born to be successful. Those ones had their opinion about me long before the erroneous Channels TV headline. I have written this to put it into the history of the truth; that I respect the works of the heroes of Nigeria like Chief Gani Fawehinmi. Some of us are able to do what we do because of what he did. If there is any radicalism in me, I derived from the living energy of the likes of Chief Gani Fawehinmi. I believe that as a people and generation we can improve on their works. Not essentially as activists because I’d personally not be one but as active citizens. I respect their memories and would never do or say a thing to denigrate such people’s works and memories. Anyone who continues to say I did is not out to respect Chief Gani Fawehinmi’s memory but only out to make one look bad. For these ones, they can say and do whatever they like, the most important thing is my conscience, my faith and my strength. You cannot bring down a man whose place at the top is not rested on your palms but God’s. This is for those who need to know the truth and this for me is the truth. Thank you and God bless.

Ajibel: I read that article last night via google and one thing I remembered Fashola said during an interview was that Lagos never banned okada but only restricted their movements. Same with keke napep. I think the mistake we are making is that the govt is thinking of middle and long term solutions while we masses are mostly concerned about now- the short term. Stats are there to show that crime rates and accidents have reduced. But it's always expected that policies of government MUST always be criticised. That's the spirit in most Nigerians, yet we want a better society to live in- an irony!!!

aged: I quite agreed with Maku,Lagos state Governors has always based their achievement on Federal presence.I always wonder why Lagos Governors from Jankande,Maruwa,Tinubu and ofcourse Fasola has always been a performer.I think the adevantage they have has always been federal presence and the size of the state.Let fashla go manage any other state and u will be surprise he will be a failure.

osaxx: He drives on a toyota sequia jeep with faces of tinubu,awolowo,soyinka on it.
He says festac is federal government property but yet he collects all kinds of levies frm FG property.

At a point he was the one destroying the festac roads with just potholes with tractor,he will snap it and send the pics to abuja for approval of big money contract, because he is tired of eating small potholes money.

I drive in festac I know what am talking about, I lived in festac for over 30years. I love festac with all my heart. But AYO has introduced all kinds of tinubus agberos in festac intimidating people.

Before AYO came festac remained the only City without agbero and OPC in the whole of south west nigeria. Festac was a place you go into and have sense of belonging.

FG should take over festac, cos it requires the kind of attention given to Abuja.

berem: Thanks for your advice. your can as well tell your unmarried sisters to do the same. They need the advice more than i do.You should also await their demise on Channels TV.

berem: I don't live in festac anymore but i visit trice a week. Festac is still my hood anytime any day.

aadetoyin: Did u say misinform? Abegi! Its either u have been closing ur eyes wen u re in festac or u re related to Ayo that why u don't want to say the truth. Pls tell me which road is good asides from 21 extention and 41rd which is usually Ayo's route. Wat happened to all other places. He should keep chasing waterfalls instead of facing what he was elected to do. Mschew!

kemifemi: Which festac are you talking about! Is it not same festac where major roads have become a death trap.
I've lived in that place all my life so I know if the guy is performing. AYO fixed the bad portion of the road ( btw choicest supermarket and 3rd avenue junction) and left the bad portion by GTB unattended to).Same thing he did at 2nd gate and left the pothole btw 208 nd 209 rd. And you are here telling us what is not. 4th avenue is bad, 22 nd is bad, 2nd avenue is bad, 23rd is ridden with potholes .Potholes are getting worse on d festac link bridge(inwards apple junction) and he has not done anything.
Whenever Fashola is visiting the local govt, he passes thru 21rd to the LG @ 41rd and would make him believe d roads are good.
I've lived all my life in festac , so I know wetin I dey talk.Abeg no vex me o
Maybe you are living in another festac o

berem: I can say 22 road is the worst road in Festac Town! I was born ,raised and lived in one of the closes on 22 road. My anger is that 22 road which is the most busiest road in festac where the 95 percent of all commercial activities in the town is found, starting from 2nd gate market, TFC, The FHA lawn tennis, Hospital, petrol station, The Catholic church,Post office and finally Nitel,cannot boast of a quality road! The LG chairman cannot tell me he doesn't use that road.

About his rascality, he should better be careful or else Festac boys will deal with him ruthlessly!

tunzyrock: I think at dis stage in our lives we must invetigate b4 we write to avoid mis-informing pple. Those who are castigating Amuwo Odofin Chiarman are not serious. Those who are hailing d dpo without knowin dat d culprit only sign undakin dat dey wil not liter d environment again and go. Ayodele Adewale is working in festac and his type is wat d maffians in festac need

~Bluetooth:
What sort of journalism is this ? Orange sellers were arrested,a vulcanizer had his machine seized,a shop was hurriedly closed (by who ? ) And also illegally sealed (by who ? ) And you concluded that 3 people suffered in the hand of the council boss because a bread seller committed an offence that doesn't concern the 3 people.

And another 3 other shops were locked because another orange seller was seen beside the shop. Did he lock the shops because the orange seller came close or what ? This is a one-sided story filled with sentiments and doesn't even make any sense except to those who want to bad-mouth Lagos as usual.

bloggernaija: You walked 1km and u dey complain. Try 3km one way walk ,every morning at 4 am and evening in the depth of winter, truddling on snow, for 4 yrs just to catch a "one an hour " bus to Uni . You miss it , you wait in the cold for an extra hour.Do you know how that "stressful" one km will benefit your health .Nigerians are spoilt brat. No wonder many will spend $50000 on a wedding,buy a $20000 car but still will be living in a rented apartment .
Many seem not to appreciate what Lagos was and what it is right now. It was a refuse dump. Do you even know how much effort is required to even maintain it . We are not talking about improvements . Just maintenance .i guess you want those carbon monoxide belching okada and buses back on the street.you may as well go to ojota refuse dump and inhale the smoke , if that is going to make you feel better.if any one can afford those tricycle, that person can afford a car. After all , many towns in the southwest use cars rather than those eyesores okada , molue and tricycle
