What sort of reasoning is this? So because there are many Companies in Lagos Fashola does not need to spend his revenue as the companies are there? Nonsensical Reasoning! Tell me a single company in lagos that is constructing a major road or social infrastructure free of charge to lagos state just because it is in Lagos state. Very weedy thinking. Your arguments does not water.

Who born them? If they try it, we will killed all people of Northern extract in the whole Yoruba land and i will make sure i personally killed at least 100. Dem no born their Father well.

Fresh Boko Haram bombings. Fresh Air indeed

@OP

It is a ranting of overfed rats. Until Port Harcourt is made federal capital city of Nigeria and turned into statehood, it is idiotic attempt to compare Lagos State and Rivers State or any other state in the federation for that matter. Even with time and fund federal government has spent on Lagos State, scenes of flooded streets and neighborhoods are damnable indictment of Fashiola.   

Wow! You mean a Natural disaster is an indictment of Government officers? Then Bush, clinton and obama deserve to be jailed for the Recent Floodings in US despite having the powers to stop the heavy rains from falling, Really clueless Reasoning

revolt:

as far as good governance is concerned amaechi is no doubt a better govt than fashola. wonder y seans sending me budget reviews. the diffrence bw both parties is the fact that fashola milks those 18million peeps dry with nothing truly justifiable to show. igr in lasgidi is super high n with bulk of fasholas projeccts privately financed wonder what he really does with all the multitaxed obnoxiously acquired funds milked from us, lagosians r quite a mediocre bunch they eat up eery thingy the media cooks, no wonder theyve bin fightn against islamic banking, fasholas is not doing much amaechi is definitely working harder

I gave you a good analysis on resources to responsibilities scale ranging from health, wage bill, education and lots of others by which we can evaluate their performances yet you just arrive at a dumb conclusion that he is not better than your one eyed. You said you wonder why i send you their respective budgets? Did you not tell me not to compare it as you think Fashola earns much higher and i said no, provided the reasons why Fashola is better based on Resources vis Responsibilities ala Performance yet you just keep insisting on the same thing. Boy grow up

Cluelessness of the highest order. Should we also sue clinton, bush and obama for the recent flooding that led to the death of many in America? Very clueless thread.

The type of threads Akobi Tewonde George replies to. Awon oloshi jatijati.

You are not suppose to believe everything that comes from western media. Lies abound there

I hope my Yoruba kinsmen have already started leaving the Whole North, because anytime from now the military may strike and if we mistakenly see a northerner as the new head of state then forget Nigeria.

Thanks. Cleaned!

Stop giving me unnecessary work

You have not do anything. By the time i am through with you and seun, then you will stop the shyt you like doing, just expect your workload to raise to power 50 from the present. You know it does not takes up to a minute to open a new mail and a new username is all yours, mind you, you stand a little chance of Locking me out of Nairaland. Oyi ti ri ise pelu thread to clean to so fun ileke ko ye fun ni ise se. Temi akamama gba be, emi ni mo fi ise pa ori e. ri e.

Now let me see the simultaneous equation you use to compare Fasholas 450 billion naira to manage over 18 million people with Amaechi's 414 billion naira to manage less than 5 million people. Waiting for those equations.

Here is Rivers state budget 414 billion naira

Seun and Oam4j what has seanet02 done for you guys! Why do you like banning him, i know it will surely by that brainwashed ilorin mugun or that obsessed $2 per hour drunk newbie moderator. To hell with you all. Bunch of hypocrites.

Continue with your pathetic delusioning. No weapon fashioned against Asiwaju Tinubu shall prosper. After all this clueless allegations that you can not even describe yourself, you are still deluding yourself against the man of the People. I hope Odechukwu does not lose his life for leading this persecution that will ultimately fail as usual. Nobody can jail Tinubu!

Return of the Oppressors! Cowboy with no brain

Yoruba has gotten a very rich history, culture and tradition that amazes even the worst of enemies

J12:

Haha. "Sucks to be seanet for real" now ehn?

You are the one they are talking about! The first man to be diagnosed with mental dehydration

Unfortunately that will not be possible until you stop being a consuming country.

OAM4J:

Interesting!

I only wish we can have the details of the MoU signed especially as it relates to the land ownership.

Though i have not laid my hands on the MOU, but am so sure the lands remains that of government, everybody is a tenant under the land decree

Don't worry ACN will not send you out of office in Kwara, they will only shift it from government house to your party office but this time without a state executive council to preside over.

Gej no get balls. He will soon succumb to his master.

Something is wrong with the man. Nigerian Government have no moral justification to remove subsidies on goods that have serious impact on the citizens when a legislator is collecting over 200 million a year. I am not an advocate of subsidizing goods in a mixed economy but their should be some sort of truthfulness from the rulers, did you know how much this people are spending on the turn around maintenance of the docile and poorly maintained refineries without any tangible improvement? This people are crooks. The labour congress must not concede to this. Ground the economy with strikes. Let them put the refineries in shape first before removing subsidy. By the way, is Abuja lawmakers not having free house, free cars, free recharge cards, free dinner, free foreign medical trips, free computers, free access to raw cash like 500 million constituency allowance year in year out, is our Governors not the ones i heard collecting 200 million monthly as security votes that are used to settle godfathers? The labour should ground the economy for them. Simple.

Can you list those groups and what they have achieved on the international stage.

Isi ewu continental trophy

God bless Asiwaju Bola Hammed Tinubu. Look this man is wonderful and awesome. He has been the one looking for  the Progress of this Country not those who want to have reruns one billion times and yet they will keep rigging it. Thank you God for giving us the likes of Tinubu in Yorubaland.

We have always been the best, the over age syndrome is giving the people bordering cameroon on its western side undue advantage. That is why Nigeria can never win the world cup.

The rumoured fuss within the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) over the composition of the proposed Governor •Ajomale: complainants are outsiders •It’s all about service, says Muse •Olanipekun hails governor Babatunde Fashola-led State Executive Council in Lagos is unfounded after all. DADA ALADELOKUN and BUNMI OGUNMODEDE who spoke with stakeholders, report.

LAGOS Governor Babatunde Fashola got kudos yesterday for  his list of commissioners, which has been presented to the House of Assembly.

Hours after the list of nominees fwas sent to the  House, there were rumours  that anger was brewing within Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), the party in firm control of the state. Some members of the party were allegedly not well represented in the emerging Executive Council.

The governor  on June 24, wrote to the State Assembly through Speaker Adeyemi Ikuforiji. In the letter entitled: “Constitution of the State Executive Council”, Fashola  presented his 37 nominees for  the lawmakers’ screening and approval.

“Kindly note that in making these appointments, I have given consideration to the diversity of interests and persons within the state and the cost of governance, amongst many other considerations,” Fashola wrote.
The tell-tale of those opposed to the list was that it contained  mainly technocrats and non party members. But those who commented on the list yesterday said there was nothing strange in appointing those who have the wherewithal to deliver good governance.
Besides, they are argued that former Governor Bola Tinubu was able to leave behind a landmark after his eight-year administration because of the egg-heads he appointed into positions.

In fact, the party’s chairman in the state, Chief Henry Oladele Ajomale, laughed off the rumour when The Nation sought his view. He affirmed that such a rumour could not have come from within the party.

His words: “Those who are complaining are outsiders. How do they determine a party member? If the complainants are members of our party they will know that all those nominated are card carrying members of the ACN. Who are the technocrats they are talking about? Is it Akabueze? He played a prominent role mobilising  Ndigbo before and during the last elections.

We know what he did to ensure victory for the party. Are they saying that those who dumped their party to openly declare for the ACN are not party members? No committed member of the party will talk that way.

“Of course, there are less than 30 slots for commissioners and special advisers. So, there is no way the governor can nominate every member to become members of the State Executive Council. It is not possible. So, whoever is not nominated now could be nominated tomorrow, even for other positions. It is not true that those nominated are not members of the ACN.”

His vice in Lagos West, Rev James Omolaja Odunmbaku, echoed his position. To him, the rumoured rumpus in the party allegedly arising from the Fashola’s new cabinet is not only unfounded but false.
“It is not true that there is any crack in our party over the membership of the executive council.

There is no iota of truth in it because both the party’s leadership and the governor are in an unbroken rapport over the issue. They work hand-in-hand.”

Senator Muniru Adekunle Muse, who represented Lagos Central District in the 6th Senate, said: “Making use of technocrats in governance is not a bad idea; it is all about Governor Fashola’s passion for service delivery and good governance. However, I must say that it is not out of place if he includes party men of proven service records in his cabinet because everyone in the party worked for his first term achievements and indeed, his success at the polls in the April elections.

“I want to appeal to all that what should be uppermost in our minds is how to sustain the legacy of service to the people, which the Fashola-led administration and indeed, the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) are known for. Fashola is a party man and as such, I believe he will take, adequate care of the party’s feelings by ensuring that members are represented in his administration.”

Former President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Chief Wole Olanipekun (SAN) also bared his mind on the issue. To him, the governor has done “perfectly well” by picking technocrats to work with him in order to carry the tradition of service for which he is known to loftier heights.

His words: “The governor has done what he felt should be done to see to it that he sustains his commitment to people-oriented service for which his administration is being celebrated, even beyond the shores of our country.

“We must understand that the moment he got re-elected, he became the governor of Lagos State and not that of his party. That is what our people must understand because at the end of the day, after his tenure, he is the one that will be held responsible for either his failure or success in office.

“No doubt, if he feels that they can work with him and achieve results, he can pick qualified ones from his party and even other parties; it is all about serving the people dispassionately.

United States’ President Barrack Obama nominated Kenyan-born Scott Gration as the country’s Ambassador to Kenya because he believed he could deliver; he did not consider party affiliation.

This is the trend going on all over the world. Politics has shifted from the era of ‘winner takes all.’ It is now about who can do the work well.”

As situation stands, most Lagos residents who are still basking in the euphoria of “Action Governor” Fashola’s re-election are full of hope that with the new cabinet, he is poised to take every segment of his administration to the much-desired greater height in the overall interest of all.
