I think he did well handling the Minimum Wage issue. He remained Presidential throughout. Quality of the FEC in core areas of the economy is also good; attracting Ngozi and Prof Nnaji and retaining Labaran Maku, who informs the citizenry about government programs without making a noise about it. He has also done well in foreign policy. Boko Haram; I'll say neither here nor there but that's an extension of the challenging security environment in the country. I will score him low on cost of governance and anti-corruption.
Overall, I think he is not a noisy president and I respect him for that. I didn't vote for him but he has done more than I could ever give him credit for.

I agree with this assessment. I however will like him to pay more attention to the power sector. They have to stop brandishing [b]targeted [/b]kilowatts and megawatts, as this should be left for the private sector - like the GSM stuff. What he need do is to ensure that stumbling blocks in the privatisation of PHCN are eliminated/removed. They FG shld offer incentives or what have you to private companies who can generate substantial electricity in record time.

Then again he need a very robust PR machine. His 'human' relations and connection with the people is on the low. He seems efficient though, and does not interfere unnecessarily with ongoing projects or policies. (speaking which I would have fired Sanusi (for over-heating the polity) and Waziri (for ineffectivness) if I were him; but would that be good or bad? I can't say)

sheyguy:
festac pple shld stick to their Local Govt. Area and agitate for better governance the right way. As for festac being dominated by Igbo Pple i totally agree with dat but festac was not created by Igbos neither was it developed by the Igbos.
and by the way how will they sustain themselves? what will be their economic contribution/means as a state? Yahoo bois or Drug dealers?

in the worst case, federal allocation like everyone else. why is that hard to comprehend?

Onlytruth:
I really think that we should pursue this Festac State with vigor.
I have wondered how we pay all those taxes in Lagos state without adequate voice.
I say we team up with all non-Yoruba groups in Lagos and push for it.
If Yoruba try nonsense, we show them pepper there.  

Wetin sef.

Ride on man; Yoruba can bark, but they cannot bite.
Soon the son of Zik will be a governor in Lagos, and heaven will not fall.

If anyone makes tries anything; there will be curfew, state of emergency, and shoot at sight.
Who wan die? Yoruba man? i laff in olodowa odudowa  

Diligence:
Lagos state is the very epitome of how Nigeria has failed as a State!

Lagos is a big disorganised local market, like Oshodi. Fashola is the gate keeper, and tinubu is the 'shiaman'
We buy and sell in Lagos, and send home money

kasiem:
One of things scaring me away from this thread is getting infected by a leprosi infected namfav. If the oil from imo, abia, delta, and rivers, u pathetic pests would've exterminated from the surface to join that coward(allah) in the dungeon. Go ask your polygamous father what he underwent during his almajiri days, before he was able to make living through killing of guests and christians. Keep deluding ursef, thinking that alhaji that u're rearing cows for will change your pathetic life, chai! I dey am por sorry, I hear? I know u must be feeling accomplished to have had your tall dream of arguing with a southerner, cos most of your relationship with them is based on gateman-oga relationship. Stop, wasting your time with me and concentrate with your underage wife. Hey! I'm sorry, i forgot to note that allah was a paedophile.

She will probably be buried by young men!

By the what has this got to do with politic?

Nairaland, where jihadist buhari won election by landslide,  does not represent the real Nigerians. You shld know this by now.  Most are here to have fun at others expenses. On guard man!  

^^^ Nairalanders if u ask me

otulak:
This is going to be a war between the SOUTH SOUTH(MEND) and the NORTH EAST(BOKO HARAM). They should hold their peace because it is the SOUTH EASTERNERS residing in the north that will suffer it. When two Elephants are fighting, the grass suffers (When North and South fights, the East suffers).

This is not very correct. I learnt most Easterner and SSners in the North have mastered the art of protecting themselves. It is the SWners who think they can blend in that normally pay the full price. SE lose materially, SW lose lives and material belongings.

But because they refuse to speak and refuse to learn, it happens over and over again.

anointed_f:
Now that the bubble is about to burst and the security guys are closing in on them with possibility of picking them up like chicken. The story changed suddenly and they are now trying to be peaceful becos of ramaddan. That one na lie o. Is it not during ramaddan that they do most of the blood shedding?.

I beg JTF press further and pick all of them up. The game is almost over for Boko Haram.

Thank u my sister.
They want to hide under ramaddan, nonsense.
Is religion no their motive? How better can they serve their purpose that killing 'infidels' during ramaddan. bunch of silly idiots. they saw superior fire power and will power, now they claim ramaddan is reason for cease fire. shm

@topic He planted grass by the roads and the real people are crying.

The Chairman, Ilupeju Community Development Association, Mr. Charles Agumuo, who spoke to PUNCH METRO on Saturday said the area lacked basic amenities.

He said, “Since we have been in this community, we have not felt the impact of the government. There has been no material impact through social amenities. We do not have either a school or health centre. We have nothing to fall on in an emergency situation.

“Our children still ask if we are part of Lagos and we tell them that we only exist on the map of Lagos State.”

Game on: 

Boko Haram will be crushed militarily!

Either Boko Haram did it the OPC. Those violent groups are capable of this crime.
