I know a lot of people will cut my head for this.
Before you throw insults, I want you to care fully survey the Lagos terrain and make the comparisons.

Today people still respect Fathshola a lot for all that he did in lagos.
From the federal roads he took up and repaired, to the bridges and bypasses he built some of which include Lekki-Ikoyi link bridge, Okota-Ijesha bridge, Isheri oshun-Ijegun bridge, Opebi bridge, etc and several roads across the length and breadth of Lagos.

In the education sector, rebuilt and repaired countless schools; rebuilt almost all the General Hospitals, expanded the Ambulance services; consolidated on the BRT system and improved on services to the citizens.
His job was made easier because Bola Ahmed Tinubu had laid the foundation for development in most of the areas where he excelled. Today we still appreciate all he did.

Since Fashola has done a lot of worl so far, One will expect that Ambode's work should be even better and smoother to be able to concentrate on the outlying parts of Lagos since Fashola had done quite a lot on the Island and Ikeja axis of Lagos.

Alas he has chosen specific "cosmetic" projects to cover our faces. Oshodi transport interchange, Abule Egba Bridge, Ajah jubilee bridge and the road works in Epe and some other areas are all we have gotten from Ambode so far.
Considering that the state now generate more IGR per month than ever and still increasing, Ambode has not articulately affected the lives of LagosIan with important projects.
Areas in the Festac-Ojo-Shibiri axis up to Oko Afon and on to Badagry are in shambles. Little or no amenities to identify the presence of government.

Alimosho seem to have been abandoned. I carried out a tour from Igando through Akesan, Egan to Ayobo,Abule Egba and all those areas before Sango Ota, and I only came back angrier at the lack of adequate government presence considering the population and relevance of Alimosho LGA. Also areas behind Agege.

There are quite a number of important roads that link these major areas that he should look into to cut traffic along the major roads.
▪ Ago to Jakande Estate
▪ Ije Ododo to Aspamda/ Trade Fair
▪ Ijegun to Lasu-Ibadan Road
▪ Akesan/Igando to Ayobo... etc these are places I know well. I know there are other important areas all over Lagos.

Ambode need to go into these areas and begin serious works there before I can accept that he us really ready to work in Lagos State.

So now, the uncontrollable migration is causing the gov a severe pain to ignore construction of roads that will ease up stress n decongest traffic that are wasting productive timing?

Your arguments is not solid enuf to criticise op point.

If you are going to make assertions about ambode and his great achievements, shouldn't you first list his so called achievements and let's compare with Fashola con artist?


Fashola con artist commissioned schools, power plants, hospitals, roads, bridges, water works, skills centers, clinics, health centers, largest court building in Nigeria including the best bridge in Nigeria, housing estates and so on in his first 2 years, so why not just list ambode's competent achievements in his first 2 years.

What is this one saying now ??
The Bola Tinubu bridge In Ipaja, AIT road expansion is what??
Did you call Abule Egba bridge Cosmetic A bridge better than all the non tolled bridges built by fashola.
Please dont even mention the lekki Ikoyi 34 Billion Naira Tolled bridge. Funny thing is people like you would not condemn fashola and his failed tenure as a a minister with no significant achievement in 3 years

How can you compare Fashola as a minister that failed as a minister and is still failing. Fashola with no single achievement as a minister

Fashola did 8 years, Ambode has only done 2 years. And yes, even though IGR is up, the value of Naira is down compared to when Fashola was in power.

Unless the OP has stated projects Fashola completed in his first two years, this is an unfair comparison.

Ambode is clueless and useless

I thought you are from Ebira in Kogi state?

I migrated to work as a professional in Lagos in 2015, in all sincerity, Lagos state is not getting the world class leadership it deserves, comparing a Lagos state governor to any Nigerian governor is ridiculous, aside the pool of the best African human and material resources the state boast of, the exposure is also unmatched. The Lagos of our dreams should be compared with economic capitals around the world, a Lagos of 999.6km^2 that you have to spend a minimum of five hours on the road daily is bad, a Lagos whose trunk C roads are worse than those in Somalia is not desirable, a Lagos that can not guarantee Water, light rail infrastructure, optimal security, affordable water transportation is overrated, the Lagos we see today will collapse if all federal infrastructure is deleted, Ambode needs to put maximal efforts in governance, not by building cosmetic projects in strategic points in the state, Lagos is very marketable and will attract huge private investments, the governor needs to sit up if his vision 2020 is not a myriad.

Keep quiet, if you are going to criticize of discount anybody's achievements against another, common sense says show what each man has done or have on the ground within the same period instead of ranting illogically and spewing meaningless nonsense.


Spewing hate or trying to prove to us how much you hate Fashola is not criticism, showing us what he's done and why you think it was nothing or rubbish is criticism.

On the other hand, I can prove with facts and pictures that Fashola is the most accomplished and productive public official in the history of Nigeria.

New Lagos Governor Ambode Incompetent - The Economist


Safety concerns are mounting as armed robbers pillage stuck cars while police are far away. Security experts reckon this is symptomatic of a broader increase in organised crime under a new and less competent state government.

Lagos is a hub for investors in Africa—it is a bigger economy in its own right than most countries on the continent, so this is of serious concern. The state’s former governor, Babatunde Fashola, who left office after elections in March, was lauded for improving traffic and security. He curbed dangerous motorbike taxis and brought local “area boys” (street children), under control. Cars were terrified into order by a state traffic agency, LASTMA, whose bribe-hungry officers flagged down offending drivers.

His successor, Akinwunmi Ambode, is full of excuses, but few solutions, for the worsening gridlock. Traffic is always bad during the rains, he says. Nigerians are migrating to Lagos en masse in search of work in a worsening economy, his office adds. Yet the root of the problem is in policy: Mr Ambode cut the powers of traffic controllers by banning them from impounding cars. In retaliation, officers have refused to enforce the rules.


Reform in a culture riddled with corruption is never easy. Mr Ambode’s office says the measure was intended to create a more “civil society”. Less fastidious types think it amounts to weakness, and would prefer that he focused on public transport instead. The biggest concern is that the gridlock is a sign of a breakdown in relations between security forces, government agencies and the new governor. If that is the case, there could be worse to come. That is bad news not only for Lagosians, but all Nigerians too.

Even the Economist noticed Ambode's gross incompetence.

How sad and pathetic....

When did you come to Lagos?
I'm sure your migration here was recent.
If you had been here through Jagaban's 8 years in government and then Fashola's 8 years too, you won't be saying this bullcrap.

You want to compare all Fashola did in his first 2 years with Ambode's chain of roundabout statues and a few roads and bridges here and there?

You only need to go around and see what waste management has become in Lagos. Heaps of pungent trash even in supposedly business districts. He disrupted the already successful PSP arrangement for a shambolic Cleaner Lagos Initiative which seemed to have worsened the situation after the PSP operations were cut back.

Street Lights in Fashola's time were not everywhere but the few major roads that had it were always fully lit. Ikorodu Road was as bright as the day. Agege Motor Road was same too and LSEB was always on hand for maintenance to fix the faulty lights.

Ambode has extended street lights to more parts of Lagos but what do you get?
They were fully lit for a few weeks after commissioning and now just few poles of light come up each night.
What is he doing woth the almost 50 billion Naira IGR every month?

Ambode keh, Lagos deserves what it got, zombism
