Buhari na bad market as far as Nigerian politics is concerned especially as he plans to rule this great nation. I would rather advice him to nominate someone more youthful and dynamic for the 2015 presidential elections than for him to drag the CPC or any merged party back with his guaranteed failure at the polls and subsequent rigmarolling for years at election petitition tribunals.
The ACN is already prepping Fashola for 2015 (as VP whether anybody likes it or not) it would be unfair and unwise to make him serve under someone old enough to be his grandfather/ancestor . That's if the merged parties win the presidency in 2015 sha, people make your votes count pls.

CPC is a confused party, they practically killed themselves in the 2011 elections and yet cried wolf for their self inflicted problems.
How do you intend to rule this country with only Northern votes, you don't even bother to campaign in other parts of the country yet you want to rule evrybody ? Silly. If the CPC kne their onions, how many core Northern states did they win in the last governorship elections ? I dey laugh
The CPC should better BEG Tinubu and the ACN for this merger to work so that they can have a slightly national spread if not they will be amongst the parties that INEC will have to de register. Nigeria has passed the stage of tribal politics and elections are becoming more transparent that's how our comerade governor got into power in Edo state a supposedly PDP stronghold while the PDP was able to win some LG seats in Lagos state.
CPC should stop their tribal politics if they want to be accepted by Nigerians.

For security reasons peculiar to this country, convoy especially those conveying political appointees are meant to be on high speed but personally I don't think it makes sense driving at such crazy speeds especially with unstable vehicles like SUV's, sedans and sports cars are designed for such speeding purposes. I remember last year when I was invited to join a former governor's convoy to inspect some projects nobody told me before I pulled out of the convoy when my honda pilot started weaving. If we had good roads in this country, most people wldnt need SUV's which as I state again are highly unreliable at breakneck speeds.

No matter wetin una talk, I love my bb havnt changed my bold 2 since last year because its efficient enuff for me besides I havnt even paid subscription since june yet I hav unlimited downloads and I dey ping steady. Tell me one iphone or android phone wey fit do the same

seunajia: I'm not Fashola's P.R.O and thus there is little I can/should say in his stead. You know its possible you have been walking around without your eyes or probably your brain is not sophisticated enough to process what your eye "sees". Get help bro.

If "street cred" is chop and clean mouth, I want to have none of it. I don't hate you, I hate to be in my car and see beggars all over, I hate to see unemployed youths roaming the streets, I hate the sound of generators, I hate driving on bad roads, I hate nepotism, I hate corruption, I hate injustice, I hate hypocrisy.

You keep assuming, a thief has no respect and deserves none. A man that feeds #1billion/year deserves no respect, a man that approves a building, a building for #19billion in the midst of all the austerity deserves to be dragged in the streets. I can go on and on.

. I repeat from the onset I never said Fashola isn't working if you read my last comment it is stated clearly there so your idea of me walking around with my eyes closed or not having a sophisticated brain, well as I've said before your insulting me won't affect me in a positive or negative way.
Maybe your idea of getting jobs/contracts is 'chop and clean mouth' that has never been my style and I won't start now. I am not ashamed to go outside looking for my daily bread instead of sitting down in the house waiting for non existent jobs from our already over saturated labour market. I won't apologize for that in fact I'm praying for even better opportunities to expand.
As per your hatred ofthe sorry state of our society, we are on the same page on that subject and it is our duty as citizens of this country to make things better in our own little way wherever possible not just waiting for the govt at any level all the time but the little we can do to teach our fellow youths how to fish and fend for themselves. Thank you

CFCfan: Then it is safe to say that Osaze has been punked. Lol

. This na expensive punking o because Osaze has confessed everything in his belly

seunajia: You are not my moral compass. If anyone should counsel anyone, the moment you typed that isht you typed, you lost that right. You're asking us to discard objectivity and agree with you that Fashola has not done anything at-all, NO? I shouldn't even be discussing with you, with the perfidy you have exhibited.

If the Nigerian youths were not as docile as they are now, you and the nepostic idi.ots awarding contracts-- which you may not deserve --to you would be in jail.

. Number one I have never said Fashola didn't do anything in Lagos state, I am a born and bred Surulere guy and I know how Lagos was while growing up and I know how it is now as for your aspect of me being in jail by now because of the supply contracts I managed to get, I doubt your street credibility in Lagos because one thing I was taught while growing up in Aguda was how to be independent so in the worst case scenario, you might actually be a mummy's boy eating daddy's money which makes you hate those that learnt the ropes the hard way so I won't apologise to you for any reason whatsoever.
It seems the main reason why you hate and insult me the way you do is because I asked you to stop insulting your elders and those in authority I don't think that's a bad advice because even your pastor/imam would say the same thing. I owe you no apology and as I've said earlier I won't tell you not to insult me as your doing so won't affect me either positively or negatively I only ask that we have matured arguments on this thread without invectives.

sshalom: This is a heated and well debated thread I must admit. For anyone who cares to know; Fashola has done more in terms of health care than most. I had a first hand experience of his determination to improve that sector when my wife had our second child at the ISOLO General Hospital. At the time of her delivery, the new hospital was being finished. By the time I drove her there after two months, the massive edifice was ready and fully equipped.

I was taken aback by the quality of the work, facilities and the sheer magnitude of equipments on display. I was forced to ask a senior nurse who works there to confirm whether the Governor actually started the project or if it dated back to days of former Governor Bola Tinubu and she confirmed that it was Fashola that started and completed it.

One could also go to Gbagada, Surulere and Ayinke House to see major projects in this regards.

Now the question that should bother all of us is: Has he done enough to justify the resources at his disposal? While the jury is out on this, my take is that he is doing his best. We should however not shy away from raising questions on the performances or otherwise of our leaders. This is the only way we can keep them on their toes!

Oga thank you very much I like your objectivity although my own argument on this thread is that Fashola is over hyped but I can never say he didn't work at all, this is a thread that needs objective arguments like yours without invectives.

anulaxad: who is this what an insult who do you think you are look don't let me curse you. jonathan is more than a corrupt bast ard a fockhead a suckmysillmothercoker he is heartless who do you think you are what disrespect are the roads you drive on paved in fact do you even walk on pavements or in nigeria as the are called side walk do you no because they don't exist. Nigeria is a rich jungle that wants to help its people but the leaders are not only enriching the rich there killing the poor and this heartless cun.t badluck places subsidies on oil prices when things were not already bad enough. you want evidence have you seen the news headline 5 trillion stole under jonathan have you seen the removal of the subsidies have you seen the Niger delta where the people live in the gutter the place where that bast ard is from his own people from his own state his own village are suffering.


you are evil and heartless so what if your little useless company got contracts is that going to help everyone you really have put in and angry mood >:
let me stop before I insult you.

I'm in a quagmire here as I don't know whether to keep silent or join you in your gutter. But you're very funny sha, its obvious you were not properly brought up by your parents hence your lack of respect for elders and those in authority its also obvious that your educational foundation is very poor hence your bad placement of words and malapropism making it slightly difficult to understand your rantings. I can't tell you not to insult me as its entirely up to you to do what you will I only asked that you show some modicum of respect for those in authority.

pheesayor: I was in akwaibom for a Conference in July and the deputy governor was there baosting that there's no single lot hole in the whole of Uyo, I told someone that 'take the population of Lagos, human and vehicular to akwaibom and watch those infrastructures crumble in a few months'. I've said that here before.

Never ever compare Lagos with akwaibom, except you take the population into consideration.

. Point taken but you seem not to understand where I'm coming from. I'm not comparing the state of roads btw the two states, I said Akpabio is also a performer compared with Victor Attah the former governor who performed miserably in Akwa Ibom. So Akpabio should be on the same par with Fashola if not higher because of the humongous task he met and the fact that he had to practically build the state capital for example from scratch but you've made your point. Thank you

Serendipity: The girl is fly.
But in the interview below:
http://thenetng.com/2012/05/exclusive-genevieve’s-daughter-unveiled/
It was stated categorically that Genny had a daughter already in her twenties and a corper at the time the tidings were reported. They said she is called CHIMEBUKA.
I doubted the authenticity of the above report, because it was nigh impossible for her to have given birth to someone of that age.

THE PRESENT REPORT DOESN'T TALLY WITH THE INITIAL ONE.
Some say her daughter is 16 and in the UK, yada yada yada.
So I have qualms and misgivings as to its veracity too, having heard a lot of fabricated bunch of gibberish before.

Genevieve got pregnant while in secondary sch 'Methodist girls high school' yaba Lagos I think 96/97 it caused quite a bit of a scandal then. I knw because my elder sister finished from the school and Gennie was a class above her. Shortly after that stress she went into acting and God has blessed her talents.

seunajia: The OP is sick, I'm sorry I don't apologise for telling it as it is, this is being plain.

I don't care what your party affiliation is, what tribe you belong to, your religion, your conscience, whatever. But I know your modus operandi; you trade in deception. I have been here long enough to know you and your ilk.

I did not vote Fashola in 2007, I instead voted Jimi Agbaje not only because he had a track-record, showed sparks and spoke intelligently, but because Tinubu was to impose Fashola, because Fashola was relatively unknown, because I wanted something pristine, something away from the status-quo.

He came and showed his mettle. It smacks of tomfoolery to say he has done nothing, Lagosians know and testify. Fashola is by far the best administrator we have in now. I do not need to harp on his achievements, the sincere know.

Albeit, Fashola shouldn't be our performance ceiling. Enough of this mediocre crap in this country! That aside, I have my grudges against him.

1. The traffic law (Okada restriction), however NECESSARY is ill-timed. He should have upped the BRT alittle bit before implementing it.

2. The Lekki-Epe expressway toll project is expensive and he knows it. The supporters of the project would say the private investors need to repay loans. Why is it a PPP in the first place, if the government won't hold stead for us? There other ways of financing the project, alas subtle ways e.g indirect tax on drivers license, fixed temporal increment on tax paid by residents etc.

3. The influence of Bola Tinubu on him is overwhelmingly annoying. Tinubu's ways brings him no favours. He needs to wriggle-off Tinubu.

The Okada restriction, his "go back to your village" talks and his PERCEIVED presidential ambition is the why we are having this discussion, not necessarily because the OP is concerned.

On the issue of presidency, AFAIC, he's the best the SW can present. And I still maintain he is not ripe, unless maybe when he forms an alliance with Ribadu or Buhari.

Oshiomole should go in Edo, his time will come. Quit mentioning Rochas, he has absolutely NOTHING to offer. Go to Owerri, go to Oguta, go to ideato, Orlu, Mgbidi, the guy is a joke. Akapbio? I don't know him, maybe if we see his work, he also needs to bring a formidable running mate.
Jonathan again? Hell no! He shouldn't be there in the first place, he was deputy to Alams, he later became governor, what did he achieve? He has been there since Yaradua died, what has he done? Apart from consistently breaking his own record of being the most corrupt president in our history. EDUCATION? NNPC? POWER? HEALTH? TRANSPORTATION? SECURITY? What has he done?! I am ashamed someone so useless as GEJ is my president.

For those of you that think he's slow, he's not slow, he is the DEVIL. Conning, wicked, corrupt ba.stard. He called Azazi uncle, but killed him! He worships satan and revels in alcoholism. He claims to know BH but has not moved them. But Fashola is the talk here today.

In summary the OP is on a smear campaign. His claims make this apparent. The good people of Lagos state should continue to "berate" Fashola, if necessary, to keep him on his toes. Million Naira question, who is going to succeed Fashola?

first of all you were making good points but I'm surprised at the level of immaturity you decided to delve into, really shocking. In all arguments it is always important to have empirical evidence of all statements made so as not to be called a liar or even sued for libel as the case may be. Besides I have this unshakable belief that if you were one on one with the president now, you would never insult him so let's keep things straight here.
You called GEJ a devil, conning wicked and corrupt basta.rd who revels in alcoholism and also accused your president of killing general Azazi. If you are called to a court of law, will you be able to defend your statements ? I agree you are bitter with the president but that doesn't mean you'll heap unfounded allegations on him. You also claimed gej didn't do anything as dep governor and governor of Bayelsa state WOW. As dep gov maybe he did nothing but as governor he really worked well in the short period of time he was in office I know that because my little company got some supply contracts in the state making me actively involved in both private and government contracts. All I'm asking for is please argue with verifiable claims and have a little courtesy for the office of the president if for nothing but the fact that he's old enough to be your father/uncle. Thanks alot

abysirius: What do u want to gain from telling lies? If you think this' fun then u're making a big mistake. It's far worse than u're thinking...trying to soil another man's good work (even when u'll admit in ur closet that he's d best) is like calling for a contest between u and God and I'm not interested in watching the match. Of course the result is obvious...u're a waste!

well it is a fact that 788 doctors were sacked in a swoop by gov fashola and also LASU fees were increased by over 1000%. I'm not saying Fashola didn't work in Lagos since there's a complete difference btw his impact and Tinubu's administration, all I'm saying is that the lagos state governor is just over hyped when you compare with states like Niger or Akwa Ibom. Its just my opinion based on facts and pls stop the insults to others on NL and the blasphemy here. Thank you

Its so sad when I log onto NL to have a nice conversation and the next thing I come across are tribalistic slurs like 'omo igbo'. Please and please I'm begging you all NL is a place where people are to have interesting conversations and FUN not to be insulted because of the tribe they were born into.
Secondly, from OBJ's tenure till now I have noticed that Nigerians have formed the nasty habit of actually INSULTING their president instead of constructively CRITICIZING selected policies he makes. It shows a crass lack of moral upbringing on the parents side. Please let's respect ourselves here.

ballabriggs: I am not from Lagos and I am not a yoruba man so please stick that your tribalism yarn away abeg. What I want is to reduce the pressure on Lagos.

The more Lagos does, the more problem it gets. Why? Because as it improves social infrastructure, more and more people flood into the state in search of that which is not available elsewhere.

Roads in the SS and SE are nothing to write home about. Why? Because Jona and Ngozi dey chop N5 trillion.

from your comments so far, its obvious you're a tribalist or at the least you have a very poor opinion of people from otueke or ogwashi uku.
I can't say anything about your intelligence but your maturity level is also in question because proper arguments in a public forum such as this demands that you have respect for peoples you might come across instead of using derogatory languages on their places of origin and argue with proper facts that can stand up to proper verification eg when you say roads in the SS and SE are bad because Jona and Ngozi dey chop N5 trillion that really even puts your intelligence into some doubt. So please let's keep it clean here and stop the mud slinging.

Ogbuefi_Negro: anytime any of our leaders in west take step in the wrong direction we jump on their case and demand correction. fashola is a bright star, he is not the first and wont be the last. Herbert Macaulay, Awolowo, Ajasin, Fawehinmi, Jakande, Obasanjo .....and many in past, yet many to come. We love them but we also scrutinized them. It shall remain so.

anytime a leader in North fvk up, Hausas cover him up and treat him with patriotism.

when Igbo leaders go looney and do opposite what people want, yanmiri start venting anger meant for this leader on Lagos and its governors instead.
for example, Obi said ndigbos are too difficult to govern.

if that was their governor yoruba would have attacked obi for his statement. hausa will use it in friday sermon and preach to people to respect leaders.
what would igbo do? they are upset but would not say anything about obi, instead they will start complaining about lekki toll gate, about motor park fees at mile 2, about tinubu mansion at ikoyi.

....fvkd up baboons!

you're a fool o, what concerns igbo people with what the OP wrote here ? Mr man better face the topic and give relevant arguments or gwan sleep peacefully.

gidiMonsta: Its obvious you haven't bought a land in lagos before. I just hope when you eventually do, you have enough common sense to check with the relevant authorities before making payments to them omo oniles, if not you're on your own.

hahahhahahahhaaaa ewu congo meat Mr land owner how many plots of land have you bought in lagos by your own self ? Mumu one gallon. You haven't answered my own questions, why weren't adjascent structures near the church demolished ? If you can't answer that then you have nothing to say. I have this feeling Fashola's boyfriend Tinubu is screwing your yan/sh too.

BodyKiss: How about taking down the vehicle number and impound it later? It's reality sad how low we value lives in this country.

thank you o jare better person. Fashola's lapdogs on nairaland are always talking about civilized societies as if in those societies an outfit like lastma that is little more than a glorified boys scouts outfit will have the effrontery to arrest anybody. Even the police will get your licence plate number and send your ticket fine to your company or residential address. If una neva trave before just talk so. Fashola just has touts on the streets of lagos and nairaland spouting trash.

gidiMonsta: LASG is right on this one! You don't buy land from omo-onile in Lagos without knowing about the status of the land first from Alausa. Most of y'all are only whining here because its a church.

That said, I blame the LASG for demolishing during their service, they could have least waited till next year after january. The govt also needs to do something about these omo-onile boys especially in the Lekki-Ajah axis, they have duped too many people for too too long.

Mr man use your head abeg. All over Nigeria land is sold by family members to new owners with a clear delineation of whr the relevant authorities have interest in. If the structure were built in the right of way of the proposed lekki airport why didn't the lasg demolish structures adjascent to the church ? We can't be deceived Fashola and his boyfriend Tinubu are land grabbers and certified thugs unleashing their mayhem on the good people of lagos state most of whom don't know they are being molested. I dey really laugh una in Japanese

olabukola: This report is a lie, read this from our american trianers "Eko o ni baje"

https://www.nairaland.com/1139673/lastma-kai-operations-classic-models

American trainers ko puerto rican gangsters ni. What else do you expect from people who were trained by your tyranical boss ? When you see something wrong admit that its wrong you stupid fool I just can't imagine what you would have said if this had happened in a pdp state. Your oga Fashola is a tyranical dictator I'm can't even wonder the relevant cash he's paying you for your stupidity. The great Fela sang something about 'suffering and smiling' now I know what you people are going thru. Don't get me wrong I'm a surulere guy so you can't deceive people by saying I'm not a lagos based individual. Even Timariv in Rivers state hasn't killed anybody till date.

Hahahahhahahahaahhhahahahhahaha Fashola the dictator even worse than Abacha. I gues his lapdogs on Nairaland will justify this injustice; foolish people. If the church was on the right of way of the airport why weren't other structures near the church demolished knowing that airports need a wide expanse of land. That aside why didn't the state govt wait till no one was in the church before demolition ? Fashola just keeps confirming himsel as the worst tyranical dictator Nigeria has ever come across with his puppet master Tinubu as usual screwing his Ya/sh in the required direction. Hahahhahahahahahahahhahahaha

slim fit :
We don't need to praise any one here it's not like we beg him to become a president. People are talking as if is role as a president is to come and do us a favour by solving primary school puzzle when fash is thinking big in Lagos like an educated man. Seating down getting praises from those that don't know what being governed is all about. I'm tired of reading text from people who want to settle for less good night.

Another sad Fashiola lap dog.... Enemy of progress

Nairaland is filled with people who aren't relevant on their streets insulting GEJ. When you see something good, congratulate the person who made it possible. Why are you people so sad like this ? GEJ and the minister of transport must be commended for a work well done with time definitely we shall migrate from locomotive engines to speed trains but first of all the power problem has to be solved because the bullet trains need a steady electricity supply to work.

Impressive, can't wait to see the masterpiece when finished...Boss, I asked your opinion about the 2004 Audi a4 1.8t Quattro and you promised to get back to me with the pros and cons but havnt heard anything yet from you.

onitshaigbo: Fashola is not just fit to govern in Yorubaland, but all of Nigeria. As an Igbo living in the Southeast, I appreciate his efforts in Lagos State to make things better for business (better roads, better public transportation, more areas to do business) and I think most Igbos and indeed Nigerians regardless of ethnicity would want that.

Fashola is by far the best governor that we have here in Nigeria. May he succeed in Lagos, and may he bring that success to all of Nigeria!

I dey laugh you. This Fashola and other yoruba people call you 'omo igbo' not as a compliment but in a derogatory manner. They see you as less than a nuisance that should be kicked out of their domain preferably with your properties and investments left intact for them to share. I have said it before I will rather vote a boko buhari than a tribalistic fashola who has his puppet master Tinubu screwing his yan/sh. No need for me to shout sef, if GEJ doesbt contest in 2015, the presidency will swing btw the north and the SE because its too soon for anotha yoruba presidency...

Jonathan worked very well in Bayelsa state but you don't just come into power in Nigeria when the North thinks its still their turn and have a peaceful reign especially if fuel marketers and subsidy theives are at your throat. Then you mix in a corrupt legislature and a very powerful governors forum. Even Buhari will get weak at the knees at this prospect considering the fact that he needed Idiagbon to do the dirty jobs for him back in the early 80's. This Fashola ticket will be hard to sell, we all saw people protesting angrily after the last lg elections in lagos saying they didn't vote acn but pdp instead not to mention the fact most people outside the south west see the acn as a tribalistic party a problem the acn caused for themselves bringing ethnic sentiments into politics.

ekt_bear: Or what? Better not hold your breath waiting for this to happen. . .

sharap there. Are igbo people not part of nigeria ? With this una nonsense behaviour I would rather vote a northern terrorist than a yoruba tribalist. Fashola ko fashion designer ni

enyojo: What are u actually saying??
I don't think u urself know what u r saying.

that means you're worse than a dunce

Fashola the poster boy, Tinubu owner of the poster.... Hahhahahhahahhahahah these TRIBALISTIC nincompoops want to force feed us with their sh/t. If he's goin to contest come 2015 & he has the balls, he SHOULD come out and campaign like his mates, tell us his manifesto instead of his internet lapdogs insulting our sensibilities here with their tribalistic tendencies. As it stands, I would rather vote a boko Buhari than Fashola who Tinubu controls like a b/tch... Hahhahhahahhahahahhaaa

I'll put that into consideration sir thanks a lot. I've saved your number already & will get back to you.

Photo of the car...

Fashola/Shekarau ticket can never happen no matter what anybody wishes here. Most of you psychophants touting this ticket now would not recognise Shekarau even if he stood on your heads. If Fashola decides to contest in 2015, his job is to campaign to ALL Nigerians and sell his manifesto and plans to us not you lot comming here and forcing us to accept him hook, line and sinker as if there are no other viable options. Is Fashola the only governor who worked out of the 36 ? What is wrong with you people sef ? Now there Eko Atlantic busy calling everyone opposed to this ticket 'omo Igbo' is that how her principal wants to win votes across all borders and tribes ? Nigeria is for everybody and so if anybody wants to rule over us, he should come out and sell his ideas to we the populace instead of this tribal nonsense you people are doing here. What stops me from voting for Buhari or Okotie or even GEJ sef ?
