O'boy you now well ooh, you still dey ask for state of origin @ this time? Cv for your front.

pleasse where did you complete your NYSC

Ngwakwe:
It is not in my character to pull people down nor do I find pleasure in absolute antagonism that blinds critical and intelligent reasoning.

I only comment on threads that need critical analyses and also tend to correct misconceptions and obfuscation.

I am in the service of saving gullible Nairalanders.

Summarise it by calling me a Statesman with a class.

smh!!! So so disrespectful

nokingasgod:
Not only born in Lagos 51 years ago, he schooled in Lagos all his life except some graduate courses abroad. He has been living in Lagos ever since he was born. He worked in Lagos Civil Service and retired leaving behind indelible marks......Yet some shameless nitwits said he is not a Lagosian. Perhaps his giant feet on the Lagos sands of time is alien to those of the so called Omo Eko gangan who presumably are Liliputians!

I hope you will retain this sentiment when an Igbo man produces evidence that he was born in lagos and spent his whole life here and wants to contest for the position of governor.

just2endowed:
pleasse where did you complete your NYSC

Was there anything like NYSC in his time?

JAMB records for Ambode
Did he or did not claim Lagos state as state of origin now?
[size=18pt]Nobody asked for his CV[/size]
[size=18pt]He is answering a question that wasn't asked[/size]

Keneking:
No NYSC?

Lol! was about asking that too! Anyway nice CV but how come the guy never served outside Lagos state?

this excellent profile does not mean he would be accountable in office. Most of our failed leaders have excellent profiles too.

Impressive CV, Lagos is truly a metropolitan state

incredulous, A ready made leader, EKO O NI BAJE O

"What is your State of Origin Sir?
Lagosians want to know.

Born in Lagos, schooled in Lagos, worked for Lagos state government and paid his taxes to the Lagos state coffers. He's a Lagosian simple and therefore qualifies to hold any elective post in Lagos.

funkiebully:

A CV should have state of origin, why is d crook silent on that

even if he's from another state, that cv is only perfect for logos . he's overqualified for ondo state shikena

Eko 4 show, Lagos 4 excellence, check out dis candidate, a man dat truthful grew 4rm d ranks, not some brought 4rm abroad 2 rule over a state without having experience in public administration and development. Good 1 4rm APC. A party 2 beat in d next election, i cant wait 4 d governorship aspirants debate on TV. Goodluck 2 u AMBODE

like who?

Na so it's

sexyedjutto:
First to comment 4 d 2nd tym 2day.., topic-pdp shud rule abeg,we r tired of tinubu s ownership of lagos

You know not what you ask for.

ok it seems lindaikejis blog and nairaland are in some kinda agreement but its non of my biz#charitycomment

NewNigeriaMind:
This is perhaps the reason APC will forever rule Lagos:

"stickler for high performance and my decisions are never
based on race, gender or religion"

wouldn't it be nice if the same can be said of the clueless one in Aso rock.

you can call Tinubu names but one thing he has that you cannot find in another is his ability to identity the smartest and finest amongst his people. He has built a reputation for APC as the party for the sound mind and technocrats, while the technocrats do the governing he handles the politicking.

Sai Tinubu.

Sai APC.

Eko o ni baje o!!!

How clueful is sai buhari, if it is by qualification, why has APC not fielded people of such intellectual acumen rather down a mediocre and a sub-sub like buhari. am still yawning at what APC has got to offer to the nation, if there is no better change, the old remains. GEJ till 2019

Na by like that?
Let Buhari also release his own CV

Very true, he rose through the ranks from local government level. This is a man who knows Lagos well, no wonder he was the only one who toured all the local governments in Lagos while campaigning. He knows the importance of the connecting with the people
