Rad1cal:
Why should we leave Fasola alone when he hypocritically critique the FG on this regard.

But going by the discussions on this thread, no one has been able to state for a fact that this government has constructed or even rehabilitated 25,000km of roads across the country.

The link you posted for instance points to a presentation on the power sector reforms and most other respondents have only reacted emotionally with no attempt at concrete proof.

See why a Fashola would speak the way he did?

Rad1cal:
havent you perused the link i provided here ?

I have sir.

The link actually pointed me to a presentation on the power sector reforms.

But there was another slide deck by the Ministry of Works on road projects in 2012.

Do you have a more recent presentation to share?

That would help us verify the statistics.

Rad1cal:
so rehabilitating dead roads doesnt amount to construction. God have mercy

I give you "rehabilitating dead roads."

Now, plus rehabilitation, reconstructions and construction, HOW MANY KILOMETERS OF ROADS HAS THIS GOVERNMENT ACTUALLY DONE

Immune1:
Being lazy or uninterested in doing proper research and probably a little maths doesn't warrant spearheading an attempt to cast doubt into the minds of people, WHY NOT YOU RESEARCH WELL AND DISPEL THE FACTS ALREADY!!!

Beyond your emotional outburst WHAT FACTS EXACTLY HAVE YOU PRESENTED

Immune1:
[s]So are you now suggesting that old roads that were constructed as far back as the days of Gowon and have been forgotten by successive governments before now should be allowed to rot further? Do you even know the history of Lagos-Ibadan,Lagos-Benin and Abuja-lokoja that Obasanjo literally messed up?. After Gowon, GEJ has built the best quality of roads ever in Nigeria and the revival of the railway system will ensure these roads last even longer..........if u wanna still wallow in deceit and denial just keep believing Jonathan hasn't done anything.......i really don't have any words for you......whether you like it or not GEJ is winning this elections. So better start licking your wounds already!!![/s]

Answer the question directly!

Has GEJ constructed 25,000km of roads across the country as claimed in his campaign speeches??

torhuke:
don't be silly Op especially with the last line of your post. How old are you? Were you traveling by road b4 2011? Have you been travling by road since last year? Are the roads the same as they were b4 2011.
Don't just sit in your village and cast aspersions. Move out of your mischievous cocoonery, do some travles across major roads and then come back here to tell what you see.

Why don't you present a logical basis for your argument like the OP has done instead of this obtuse attempt at bullying as usual.

The simple question is: Has GEJ constructed 25,000km of roads during his tenure as claimed in his campaigns??

If Lagos - Ibadan express way is at least 140 kilometers, has this government built 179 of such roads across the country?

If it has, can you please list at least 20 of such roads and their lengths? Or is there a web page where we can access a list of these constructed roads?

I would be greatly surprised if OBJ has only one mole within the Presidency...the Baba I know probably has a number of sleeper agents embedded within the Presidency.

janus05:
It is becoming more and more obvious that Obama's campaign firm is really at work with APC. The way and manner these APC cyber nymphs attack people with alternative ideas speak volumes. The problem with this strategy of theirs is that less than 5% of the voters are online. Like Lamido recently pointed out, in the social media APC has won. But the results of March 28 will disintegration this fragile anti-Jonathan alliance called APC.

Point out just one of the "ALTERNATIVE IDEAS" mentioned by the OP in his post.

customized13:
They have turned into a tribal thread just because igbos are protecting barcanista. NAwa ooooo

Hear yourself...

Here2BustnScrew:
I promised to continue in exposing these evil men and their plans. Jonathan has proven to Obama that he is nobody's puppet. USA and Britain wanted him to legalize same-sex marriage but he refused, they threatened to sanction NIGERIA. next Obama planned to spread to Ebola using the man from Liberia, he wanted Ebola to spread through out Nigeria so that Jonathan would have to sign the bill in exchange get cure for Ebola. But GOD intervened and his planned failed. next USA and British refused to sell arms to Nigerian to fight Boko haram. now their plan is to frustrate Jonathan because he refused to do their bidding and then support BUHARI who will be their puppet and legalize gay marriage... Nigerian Beware.. Do not be deceived by these evil men's false promises. They have evil plans, but GOD will disgrace them.

Musiwa, is that you??

barcanista:
Well, let this thread not be about me. Just concentrate on the content. It is Nigeria FIRST, isn't it?

Wow! It is sad to see what you have become my friend. SMH.

In my opinion, you have a right to be bitter about whatever you are bitter about. (because I still do not understand the root cause of your angst) But if I were you, I would retreat for a bit and allow my system purge itself of the bitterness. Then you can return to Nairaland and post objectively even if it is against the APC.

Right now, all of your posts are petty attempts to get back at some people. In one voice, you claim to believe in Buhari but you have overnight joined the ranks of those who are intent on tearing him down by any means.

I am surprised there are members of the PDP here whop rejoice over you like a long lost brother...in saner environments, you would be treated as a pariah by both sides...seen as a traitor by the one and treated as a rank outsider by the other, never quite gaining the level of trust needed to be inducted into the inner caucus.

You and I know there are no fences here so claiming to be a dispassioned political commentator in this here Nigeria is a fallacy

Let me reiterate that I am not the sort to knock you for your personal choices. But been someone I held in high esteem, I believe I owe it to you to tell you exactly how your current position appears to an onlooker.

Take a random sampling of all those who have "welcomed" you to the PDP fold. Don't you see a common trait in them? Does any of them strike you as people who would cross over to the other side just because they have a personal difference with one of their comrades? Isn't it then strange that this rabid supporters are quick to "celebrate" you for being a turncoat?

My brother, use your tongue to count your teeth.

Tranquill:
Yes you are right. Just as Babangida and Abdulsalami brought Obasanjo out of prison, arranged pardon for him and made him president with financial support from Orji Uzor Kalu despite opposition from his fellow yoruba people. and these same people did not make personal demands nor dictate to him how to run the country when he became president.

Are you sure they didn't?

25,000 Kilometers? Where

Dude's album was not the worse o. Matter of fact I still have and play it quite regularly. I just wish he would pay more attention to his art.

This picture could have been snapped at anytime. It is undated and could have been a file photo. It doesn't prove that there were no soldiers at the man's gate.

chukwudi44:
Bros continue to whine here on Nairaland, whether by hook or crook GEJ must win and rule till 2019

To think that someone made someone like you a mod on this forum....SMH

luvinhubby:
Those allegations are true, linking Fashola personally to it may be exaggerated, but APC party members are surely involved.
I know someone by the name Okechukwu, that got a call from someone asking which party he supports, the man said none & the caller told him that if he will vote APC , he will tell him where to come & collect his PVC.

I thought PVC's were been collected from the PU where you registered? I got mine from the polling unit where I registered on a Sunday...and it did not even take me 5 minutes.

So someone called your friend Okechukwu and asked if he will vote for APC. If your friend Okechukwu, says for instance that he will vote for APC and gets his PVC, will the APC caller be there when Okechukwu cast his vote? Or will he be made to swear a blood oath before collecting his PVC?

Do you see how illogical these rumours sound

@ OP

There are some on Nairaland that would describe a thread like yours as pointless, foolish and idiotic. I am sure if you give them enough time, they would even go further to call you a cretinous retard who has noodles for brains for taking your time to type this silly post....and one would be tempted to agree with them.

I think it's all a matter of perspective.

It is this clown that looks like he will suffer a coronary any minute now that is threatening to divide Nigeria. We are waiting for him to do his worse if Jonathan loses the election.

By the way, I have not seen any of those "my crowd is bigger than yours" threads opened on Nairaland to show off the PDP's Bayelsa crowd o!

arinzeuba:
Dear Brethren,

A Pharoah will take us back to the land of Egypt, where we will become slaves again (apart from the few who will be his associates and collaborators), whilst all others will be whipped into order, slammed into jails without due process and will have to bow down to the Pharaoh. 

The Pharaoh's tribe and religion will be super-imposed upon all, as the born to rule superiority complex will override all other tribes and religion/s.

Some slaves may want to go back to Egypt again, to be slave masters, as they see gains lording it over other slaves, but the majority of the other slaves want their own freedom and will rather take their destiny into their own hands, serving their own living GOD.

A Moses is no Saint and has his faults, but like Moses, he is leading the slaves to cross the red sea and then take the slaves into their promised land, a desert, flowing with milk and honey.

To be able to get to the promised land, the slaves have to first cross the red sea, and need Moses.

However, we are at a cross road and need to decide between a Pharaoh who will take us back as slaves into the land of Egypt, or a Moses who will help the slaves cross the red sea, into the promised land.

Spiritually, we all have to decide if we want Pharaoh and to go back as slaves to the land of Egypt, or we can chose Moses, who has his faults, but who is already taking us to cross the red sea and is trying to help us cross into the promised land.

"Us" here meaning you and your family abi??

Faibuhari:
APC and propaganda, I've told my staff that anyone that talks APC trash in my office will go on. Indefinite leave.

Borrowing a leaf of intolerance from your political party aren't you?

How can you suspend your employees because they hold divergent political views from yours?

Are you related to Asari Dokubo?

Atleast Obanikoro did not say the meeting did not hold like his senior agbero of a friend Fayose.

Now let's wait for the gospel according to Omisore.

Maybe he will claim he was no where near Ekiti on that day and it was juju that was used to put his voice on the recording.

Awon agbaya ole oshi!!!

Fayose oleeeeeee!!!!!!

Instead of him to hide his head in shame, he is still trying to defend the indefensible.

Ole oshi!

lurther:
Please, why are they denying igbos their Permanent voters card in lagos?

[b]As I type, lots of igbos have not been given their permanent voters card in lagos. [/b]Is APC afraid of something? All this while, they have been shouting that Igbos are inconsequential in lagos, why now sieze their voters card?

Besides, Apga is just a joker in the lagos gubernatorial elections, It's between PDP and APC. So, let the lagos state electoral commission in collaboration with the independent national electoral commission release the permanent voters cards of igbos in lagos. What is even their fear self, after saying igbos don't have the numbers and are presumably inconsequential.

We all had to go request for our own at the PU where we registered...not on Nairaland.

Try that approach and stop raising false alerts where there are none.

Gboliwe:
All I see is that this man Buhari likes breaking protocol. Very annoying man indeed!

Or could it be he is just too full of himself and considers himself better than others? Still dangerous.

Or he has the mind of his cows, he must be herded at all times? Still disturbing

Or he is just above the law? Na wa!

Sour grapes...

I think what worries you is the way Buhari, with the active support of every fair minded Nigerian, has circumnavigated the expansive minefield that the PDP has carefully laid out to prevent him from contesting the coming elections.

You are disturbed that a Buhari presidency this year is looking more and more realistic with every little victory he wins.

Don't fret...there are the numerous court cases to contend with still. Maybe you will finally get him there...or maybe not.

One thing is clear...Only God can stop this change now...and from where I stand, it is not looking like he plans to.

biafranqueen:
Why does he have to wait until he became President?
Where has he been all these years? Why now only as President he can stop them?
That is blackmail do you know the word?

We hear and understand that Buhari could not stop them without the platform of the presidency.

But what then do we say to our President who has been unable to stop them even with the platform and power that comes with being the President and Commander in Chief of the Nigerian Armed Forces?

That is FAILURE. Do you know the word?

Is CAN the name of a new political party

Trash!

In these day when religious and political leaders are transforming into closet politicians, I think the Oba of Benin's decision not to see either candidates is the best.

No one can claim the Oba of Benin's achievement as a trophy as it stands.

Which political party is called "CAN" ?

Mtchewwww!!!

tonytony208:
i intentionally shunned any intended insult in your comment.

Fashola said he would deliver the project in 2012. But 3 years running, here you are talking about slow and steady.

No insults were intended.

Deadlines were set and reviewed for various reasons. I do not deny that the deadline for project completion has changed a couple of times.

It still does not justify you calling a project that is ongoing even as we speak, a "moribund" project. Work on the project has been going on steadily in the last year and much progress has been made.

rozayx5:
which rail project is on course

the one Fashola's relative used to buy penthouses in dubai while their gullible followers shout change in urine smelling slums in jakande

Na you sabi..

I pass that route everyday and I know the project is on course because I see the workers on site and I see the pillars that are been erected. Towards the Marina end, they have gotten to the Ijora Olopa area.

If you live in Lagos, you can go to that axis and see the work going on for yourself.
