His father late chief Elliot was a politician too in surulere,aguda.
A very good man I must say,
Btw jimi won't be a bad idea to replace oga fashola,the passion both of them have for Lagos is way beyond the
The ppl trying to succeed Fashola.

Sincere 9gerian: Dis na dem say, dem say report. No substance whatsover. No names, everywhere na "source". Dis source no get name? Even the report is contradictory. The first lady met with only one governor but the title says she threatens PDP governors. I tire for 9ja media houses.

if its reported by thisday,then I choose to believe the source.

APC......the new clueless.....they all know the antecedents of Atiku and Obj and they want them in their party,smh......seriously I give up on all these people.
Its just like visiting a babalawo,who is a poor man for money rituals.
The devil might be powerful but no salvation.
Obj and Atiku are Nigerian political Devil,Gej is just a demon.

VICTORCIZA: AMAECHI STOP BOMBING RIVERS IT WONT HELP YOUR DWINDLING POLITICAL CAREAR! We know you too well you are a dramatic queen who likes to wipe up emotion.shame on you

please ASUU has suspended the strike,go back to School.

Ehmmmmm,lemme help you guys,you all forgot that quite a number of people that worked with obj are still in Gej cabinet,of you want people to believe a lie,just add a lil truth in it,its called fallacy.

Av got no doubt in my mind that the letter was written not just by someone in the presidency,but someone in the Intel unit,they are the only one with detail information about the first families.

BTW am not a fan of OBJ and GEJ.....pot calling kettle black.

Thank God finally this country will break.Gej is surrounded by his enemies,it doesn't make sense.

bloggernaija:

We are not getting rid of any omo onile or agbero because they are the only ones letting those clannish expansionist know their place and remind them of where they actually are at the moment.
These guys simply conjure up all sorts of stories and lies.
They have gone as far as telling these lies overseas.
Yorubas are bad but the bulk of expatriates in nigeria are resident here.
Heck there are more foriegners in Ibadan alone than most regions put together.
Area boys may be evil, but they are a necessary evil for now.

On the port issue.
Gazetting a port is one thing.
Have the southeast leadership (when they are not busy ethnic baiting and stealing)done the heavy lifting of reaching out to those down river?
Especially that they are very wary of Igbo expansionist and imperialist tendencies.
They are known to have objected to this in the past.
daewoo is building a proper port in bayelsa but jonathan gave the Igbos a warehouse and 2 cranes.
And yes, they are happy with the warehouse and 2 cranes as long as their brothers are eating in Abuja.
Ondo and OGUN are building a oil and gas free trade zone (dangote refinery,petrochemical ,otudeko refinery and power plant are here already) and this includes a port.
Now the question which is

With
5 states
5 governors


Why is the SE incapable of doing the heavy lifting themselves?

The diplomacy
The design
The implementation
The strategy
Search for investor and partners .
etc

Fashola asked the same question to the think tank who did not see the irony of holding their meeting in Lagos .

The day this question is answered is the day they SE will be able to give the FG the finger,regardless of whom the president is ?
And that is the day nigeria will start developing.
At the present moment,
With half of the population elsewhere and having exported all the misery and poverty to other states, Igbo governors and politicians are simply have no responsibilities, are guns for hire for AGIP and are robbing their own people blind .

Peter obi alone must have donated a zillion cars this year alone.

you really need to give this up,
Av you travelled the lenght and breath of the SW and SE?
If you have,are you comfortable with the level of poverty in the SW region?
Are you comfortable with the army of yoruba men playing Baba ijebu everyday?
I know you are aware of the stats transportation have in the GDP of Lagos state,please can you imagine the impact it will have on the state economy if we get rid of area boys who are agents of Olu omo and co?the price of food stuff will drop 20%,
Do you know the meaning of Afenifere?there is nothing wrong with Onitsha having a port that will compete with Lagos,its development,
The Us have new York,Los Angeles,Brazil have sao Paolo and Rio,Germany have Berlin,Hamburg,even SA have jo burg,cape town,why can't we have another great commercial city like lagos in Nigeria?

berem: Interesting! Please when is the part 2 coming out?

lol....couldn't stop laughing,the problem the SW have with uncle Jonathan is simple,they want him to deliver on his electoral promises and not give excuses,he was aware of boko haram before he asked for their votes,Jonathan has ruled them for 6 years nothing has changed,Awolowo was in office has a premier of the region from 1964 to 1960 yet no Nigerian president,dead or alive can match his legacies.
Most Nigerians,especially southerners,yoruba,edo,itsekiri,egun,urhobo,ikweris,ogogonis like uncle Jonathan for his personalities but they don't like his government.
BTW osun state was the only state in the southwest he didn't win in 2011.
Gej has being in power for six years and yet we can hardly feel his achievement in any sector,another four years will make it ten years,the longest serving President,pls he should make too, for another let's try someone else,he is just like IBB,Jimmy Carter a lot of people like them, but hate their regime/government.

The two weeks Mr President gave Dasuki committee report back to him is still on or its indefinitely,

Well of he refuse to drop her,he shouldn't be surprise of the house refuse to pass the budget on time again.

An appeal to my fellow yorubas,
Can you all please stop posting on threads that having nothing to do with the SW?
people from SE always think anything you say about anything there means you are Jealous.
Truth be told we must concentrate more on how we can develop the SW more than what we have now,yes its the best region even if you remove Lagos state from it,but it can get better,pls let's channel our efforts on how we can have more industries,get rid of agberos,omo onile syndrome,make our legion of less educated men major importers like Igbos do rather than play Baba ijebu all day with Iya bola's money,which she made with her petty trade everyday.
I see this everyday and I shake my head.
We have a sea port,they don't why can't we take advantage of it?
Why can't our men also travel to china and import goods into the country?
China goods are everywhere even in Europe,
We need to look inward and leave them alone,if we stop patronising there goods,trust me its over,LG and Thermocool has taking a large chunk in the electronic business from alaba,even though am not proud of it,we can't we do same?

Rev Elisha Ogundiye should stop disgracing other christians of the sw,
I watch this man on channelstv and he wasn't convincing,yes those schools have missionary legacies but now they are public owned,if a Muslim girl want to attend the school in hijab according to her believes so it be for the good Lords sakes,
If anything we christians will others over through love,compassion,tolerance,education,not the other way round.
Pls let them come to school with hijab teach them about christianity and allow them to make a choice if they still want the hijab or not,sending them home would not help.
Ps someone should pls find out who the family head of the rev is and let them talk some sense in him.

Maybe the state government should just change the name of those school and make it more secular,may be they should stop making morning prayers christian/Islam on the assembly and then everyone will be happy,
Pls don't bring religious intolerance to the sw.

O lord almighty,Mr President pls do the needfull,you can't Cow ASUU,and a former member,you should know better.,you guys should just do it right,both the FG and ASUU.

Btw if both ASUU and fg does not get it right now,pls ASUU should never go on strike again,now that they have one of them @ the helm of affairs.

Afam4eva: if this actually came from INEC then we'll have to take their word as gospel. But what i want to know is if they were truly found with pump actions like alleged cos i don't understand what election observers and weapons have in common. Are they there to observe a war or what? #JustAsking

afam,NPF fall my hand on this one,how can find two pump action with only TWO cathridges? A pump action cathridges is the same just a bullet.

The op is being mischievous with the title,all they said was that pupils will be promoted or admit on merit,abi una no merit una degrees in your various schools?

Maybe that why we end up with Gej &co

dondiggy:
most of them really look under 17

I don't think so ,more like 19_21

Are this guys really under 17? Secondary school boy?

Ooh yes I do,you don't get loved if you don't show love,we need to show more compassion towards our police men and women,they are Nigerian too,I use to hate them before until I met uk police,,they were so nice and cautious even with the way they talk to their people,I observed that the citizens actually appreciate their police more than we do,we need to be more nice to them,not only by greeting them but also making donation of some basic needs your neighbourhood police station might need,pls visit Ilupeju police station and seer the way it is done,you won't even believe its a nigerian police station.

@ agbameta,please you need to objective with this your post,the court suit was instituted by a private citizen not the fg,truly inland water ways are control by the fg,take note that both the AGF,FIWWA and lasg are respondents in this case,those FG guys are just trying to save their asses,that all,I dnt think there should be bad blood about the project.

Desola: Forget Oduah for now, we know she is a thief on a grand scale.

What I am however interested in is the current status of those 300 vehicles. In whose possession are they now and what are they currently being used for? Were these vehicles contracted on a lease or were they outright purchases?

Lagos state is not gonna go Scot free without answering some hard questions. Just because we have caught one thief does not make you angels yourselves.

An inquiry must be launched into the purchase or lease of those vehicles too.

All of una na thieves!

madam desola,the vehicles were returned to the dealer,he had the same deal during coja games and chogum,he normally get waivers for such events,the sad part is that the guy use the waiver to bring in more cars than he requested waiver for.

0monnakoda: At the moment it does not seem to have moved from concept to plan. I believe it will but LASG has a problem with communication and carrying people along. In that regard it is typically "Nigerian". The recent "buy back" of the concession rights to the Lekki Road is a good example. One that leaves a sour taste in the mouth. Now we have another example of PRIME land "ACQUIRED" by government for "Public Use" which ultimately will end up as an "Asset" on the Balance Sheet of a private company. While one supports the idea of additional airports in Lagos I am afraid that this government of Lagos has too many secrets on how it runs its affairs

yes o I support you totally,the only way for us to know what is going on there, is to vote in people that APC can not control in the house of assemble.

Is the Muslim calendar same as Indians?the Indians my area couldn't let me sleep yesterday with their fireworks.

Can you guys please go and open your own nairaland and stop accusing seun and the mods of being pro can or pdp?some of you don't even want afam and oamj4 Abi wetin be that one moniker sef to express them selves.
Btw we all need to hear from the people on the ground to know the real cause,just heard from Gov Obi that some people in the congregation where calling someone else's name when he was about to address the people.
I can't phantom how fire outbreak will happen in that crusade.

But which party are the youths decamping from?

Slizbeat: We can all see how it is going down.

If we say "let the south unite", the yoruba's wont agree because they want monopoly and to their greatest surprise, they will be betrayed by their hausa/Northern counterpart.

Isn't it too clear to see that the North are trying to control all things except for the collective growth of Lagos??

Ever wondered why Kwankwaso should be training graduates on piloting, whether their studied course relates to it or not??

Southern Nigeria should be wise enough to decipher all these. Why now that the minister is having problems?? Why was it an hausa man that. gave the information?? Keep on playing the BMW game while they divert our attention and carry out their evil acts.

which southern Nigeria?abeg if this is the way you guys want to be defending corrupt politicians pleased we are no longer interested in the southern Nigeria project,
Throwing up sentiments about kano and lagos won't work either,let the minister give landing rights to all the foreign airline and let them land anywhere they see passengers so that we can all rest bikonu.

Trail ii: mayb we should start with obi of onisha nd your village igwe. Do d needful or port back to your hamlet in alaigbo. D choice is urs

am lagosian by origin...not an Igbo,Nigeria is a republic,by that am not a subject to any Oba,Obi,Sultan Emir or whatever,I own my sovereignity,if the place is a private estate and the have their rules cool,but if not I will drag "mr"oba oniru to court for assault.

Kponkwem: Rochas Ibrahim Okorocha and Chibuike Rotimi Mukailu Amaechi: should ndigbo ostracise these loafers?

ostracise Amaechi who is not Igbo?
Btw why didn't you guys ostracise Zik for joining forces with Ahmadu bello?or Ekwueme with shagari?

Gej should please for the love of God change the way he plays politics,Nigerian political scene does not favour a arm twisting head of govt,he still have to stoop to conquer 2015 or else the opposition might get rid of him before 2015,with this 7 gobs joining that means they will control the senate and the house of reps,they will get rid of ,mark,tambuwa is already an ally,heck they might even impeach both the president and the VP at the same time and have one of their own,the new senate president has a transitional president all this without a single bullet being fired or election being held,he is so unpopular right now even with oduahgate,he have to do a rethink,soft pedal with the G7 governors and still get what he wants.

realsui-generis:
*leaves the thread* both Davida and wixxkid have gat no tallent. Both are just usual Lagos hyping........tubaba amd Psqaure 4 life
