help dear lagos state govt as never claim to have finished renovating the entire schools within the state.there are more pubic schools in lagos than manystates put together. This means a lot of spending. Lagos have more newer public schools than most states, more mega school than most states.the total of schools is enormous.even my former school has just been renovated.

mrmetoo1:
What's your point? Does it really matter who took the pictures? The airport is an embarrassment to us all. That's the airport I'm sure 70% of foreigners come through to the so-called biggest economy in Nigeria. ACs don't work, you have buckets to catch water from leaky roofs, you can't get off the plane and dare to use the toilet, etc. Now if Jonathan ignored it, it'll have still been bad but for the fact that they claim to have spent billions on the airport and it's still like that is disgraceful and fraudulent.

Some of you guys try to defend the indefensible. There are some things that you guys should just admit to and move on. Go see the Kenyan airport that got burnt, search for the new terminals, how much has been spent and in how long they used to get to where they are.

I don't think you got my point. Let me oblige you an answer though,

My position is never trying to defend anybody's incompetence or whatnot, My only grouse was simply attributing the blame to the wrong quarters, Our problem has always been maintenance and if he is wise enough as a "patriotic citizen'', He would have known what to do at the circumstance.

Not politicising petty airport issues that can easily be fixed to score points. Why didn't he show us the pictures of the whole airport rather than finding toilets faults.

We will never develop with this negative mindset of faults-finding.

So the dude in Ghana (Whether he pays some hypocritical tax-i have no idea) touched down in Lagos during the election period heads straight to the Conveniences takes pictures of the Conveyor belts, and ceilings, upload them online

And that's your idea of highlighting absurdities when the both of us know quite well that he did that for political reasons?

With all due respect, you're more stupid and bias than I think -- You're really a product of those people!

Shame on YOUR brains, I'm so ashamed of you

Gbawe:
It is ironic you are talking about the intellect of others when your argument is moronic and childish. What if Momodu posted the pictures for political reasons? What if he even posted it because Oduah is a friend who will not return his calls? Any perceptive adult will know that those considerations or any other do not invalidate the conclusion those pictures present which is that GEJ is a failure !!!! For the Flagship Nigerian airport to look like that is an absolute disgrace and I don't even get what you are trying to do on this thread.

In case you do not appreciate it, because you revel in the aberrant ways of Nigeria, citizens worldwide engage in overt and covert whistle-blowing to secure the change they want. Even if Momodu's motivations are political, he has not lied and he is right, as a responsible citizen who wants a very bad government booted out, to take pictures around election time to show Nigerian who do not travel another evidence of the failure of GEJ which means he should be voted out. You have contributed nothing sensible here and you only seem to want to argue about frivolities while Nigerians and foreigners have to use the appalling MMIA that was "renovated" for a lot of money and one of the touted "transformation" of GEJ. You clearly are a very egotistical and unreasonable person.

May God have mercies on your cerebrum,

Wisdom is definitely far from you my dear.
Take solace in your "ego" and relish the foolishness it brings forthwith.

It's obvious your need a mindset overhaul of some sort sir

With all due respect.. It seems you didn't get my point

That is because you have no point and are obviously , from your use of coloured fonts for every post, another intellectually empty attention-seeker who talks for the sake of being noticed and not because you have anything sensible or intellectually stimulating to contribute. Put the effort you use to produce coloured fonts, for every single damn post you make, into thinking about issues and you would probably see things clearer.

You are not even bright enough to understand that all your noise here does not invalidate the fact that those are real pictures of the number one airport in Nigeria that many have to use daily and is the 'welcome' point to our Country. Like a brat child who insist on talking with adults, you continue making non-existent points and ignoring the substantive issue which is that our flagship airport that GEJ claims is one of his major 'achievement' is a pathetic and abject disgrace.

And who is the brat child here?

Judging from the fiery epistles you keep posting after my two sentences suggest who is.

And to think you have said anything sensible with the long disjointed writings of yours?

Bigger shame on the inSANe lawyer whose tenancy at Alausa house ends soon.

Despite $90 million World Bank education loan.

Despite increasing IGR over 34 times from N7.2 billion in 1999 to N246 billion in 2013.

This is the pathetic state of Lagos schools.

Shame on you too bro for supporting a picture that pick holes in an establishment where he could have easily tailored his grievances if not to score cheap political points.

I won't condescend to trade words with you because I have seen the level of IQ

mrmetoo1:
I'm not exaggerating when I say taking more pictures will only cause more embarrassment. My thing is this, GEJ has advertised this as one of his great achievements so there is really no way you can take him out of the equation. The airport is a federal asset and GEJ can't tell me he doesn't know the state of the airport despite the money spent. Now if we start to blame organisations we won't get done today. However, he's the leader, he hired those people that are not doing their jobs. He's basically the main supervisor. My site supervisor can't blame carpenters for a bad job because they didn't use enough material or bad workmanship because I'll ask him what he was looking at when they were working. It's the same way I can't tell my clients that it's the fault of my subcontractor for the bad job constructing their building. He awarded the contacts, if the airport turned out well it'll go a long way in building his legacy as a transformation president. He has a lot more to lose.

People blaming the president is not unreasonable at all. Going back to my profession, I have a building project I'm doing for a church. Churches have a lot of members which means you have a lot of clients. Truth is you can never get on the good side of everybody, not possible. Now if your clients have a cause to complain about quality of your work, they don't go to the mason, not the carpenters, not the iron benders/welders not even your site engineer, they blame the main contractor because you're the one in charge of the project and if we're completely honest because you're the one that has the most to gain.

You are wise, Builder Metu -- Nice illustration
but Who is the main contractor here in the airport scenerio?


The Presidency or NCAA?
If you understand the rudiments of budgeting by government parastatals, it will be clearer who the main contractor is, But that is a story for another day.

My take is pretty simple, If we can blame GEJ for plumbing faults in an airport for a country as big as Nigeria, we are really in a shocker because this man won't be able to fix all the files landing on his desk per minute.

Why don't we tailor the blame to the right quarters where due diligence can be done quickly rather than Abuja if seriously we citizens are "patriotic" and "love" our "flagship airport"?

If we continue with this follower-ship mindset
Nobody can effect any change!

All these pictures is still one school Awori college you are refuse to show the renovated place where students receive classes pending the time the Government come to fully renovate it. You are always showing the abandoned part of the school. That school is where I read every weekend during my days in LASU. And besides Fashola didn't said they finished all schools in Lagos yet but I can bet over 70% has been renovated to new structures. Why not show other renovated schools?

Have you been to the airport or utilize any of its services? I do not know how to describe that airport, but it embarrasses me all the time

Gbawe:
Just shut up cretin and spare us your garish and attention-seeking fonts that is actually the brightest part of your contributions here. I just wonder how Nigeria can produce adults who think and talk as you do while other Nations have productive citizens who think correctly and agitate for the right things all to the glory of their nation. Someone produced factually accurate pictures of the dilapidation bedevilling Nigeria's flagship airport and you are here pontificating senselessly in confirmation you are a highly irresponsible citizen totally worthless to his nation. You are pathetic and pitiful.

With all due respect to your feelings... How old are you?

Your post is riddled with cuss words, Your mum didn't do a good job
Because I am beginning to doubt your maturity.

You're an attention-seeking fool so why will you not accuse others of what you exemplify the most? My friend, the reason I dislike people like you is that you are a disgrace to Nigeria with your 419 support of what is plain wrong. Whatever happened to saying nothing instead of speaking senselessly in support of what cannot be defended?

When GEJ and his fans are all running around and claiming "airports renovation" as one of the major achievement of this government why then should Jonathan not then be judged by a set of pictures which shows that his "renovation" claim is a scam? You are the one whose mother did a very bad job raising because you are very dishonest, duplicitous and totally incapable of upright/honourable conduct. It would have been better to say nothing than to come here trying to extricate GEJ of blame when the desperate President you worship has already claimed "airport renovation" in his re-election bid.

You are really trying hard to sound smart young man!

But sorry to burst your bubble, you are as dumb as they come.
Like seriously, attention seeking ??

Negro please, I will pass

Again you're either missing the point or trying to make light of it. It's not a burst pipe, its that you can't use any toilet in a whole international airport. Its that the AC doesn't work, its that the conveyor belts don't work, its that the airport looks like some backward garage. Its that an investor coming into the country is greeted with a very horrible welcome, it sets a very bad precedent already. I left Naija 2002, didn't come back at all till Dec 2013, I got the airport and I wanted to turn back, I felt like I'd made a horrible mistake and I'm Nigerian.

All that aside, if we say GEJ is not blame and we say he's not the main contractor and then even worse he's the client. You give a builder millions/billions to build an estate that you intend to sell/rent. What you're saying is your customers should be looking for the building contractor after they've signed an agreement with you for a brand new house only to get there and find the foundation barely laid.

GEJ told us he was renovating the airport, GEJ was the one that awarded the contract, he was the one that advertised it to us as one of his crowning achievements.

Oildichotomy:
And the fact that you almost turned back solved the problem?

I get your perspective clearer now!
