chillbabe:
Stop direspecting the Nigerian woman. Maybe u should take a look in the mirror. U surely don't diserve one

If u read my post very well,i was specific that not all so i will advice that you consider yourself as not part of the bad type rather than attacking my person.

I still maintain that if i hve my way i will nver consider marrying a Nigerian lady necause MOST of them are materialistic,insatiable,flirty,disrespectful and unreasonable.

Look around and you will see how many Nigerian chic are ready to dump a sincere loving faithful struggling guy for a cocky rich dudee. Most lunmarried Nigerian ladies crying for husband had at one time or the other in the past seen a serious guy but the money factor made her refuse the guy.

From my experience i dated a lady for six years,got married legally for five years and in ten years of our togetherness i was faithful to her alone and gave her 10% of my mnthly income each month to do as she wants talking about not less than 20k mnthly as pcket mney asides from setting her up in business.

guess wat? about 3 yrs ago when i strted havn issues with my income she decided to look for a job which is ok but i accidentally stunbled on her cv and saw single as ?arital status wtf

I told her abt it she said it was a mistake that was nver corrected nd she latter told me she will leave if the stagnancy i was experiencing persists and today we are no longer married.

If you ever reply my post again implying that i dont deserve a Nigerian girl i will be tempted to be harsh with u.

If you think you are diggerent pls speak for urself.

Bosch10:
are u jealous of village girls where natural beauty exists unlike you,do you know the amount of money u spend plaiting ur medussa-like hair?or the amount you spend on make ups and provocative dressings?well u cant know that when u are always collecting the money from ur dad or ur boyfriend.To them,u are a money siphoner bt they will not tell u because of what they wanna gain from u.if u sum up all those money for the last 3 years and the next 2 years,then u will know that the richest man is rich not because of his investment but because of the way he spends.get a life in christ and ur future will be secured

Sophistication is the bane of many urban girls.

What the op wrote is very true in most cases and trust me as a clearing agent i can tell you that girls from Benin rep are a million times better than Nigeria sophisticated girls.

If i hve my way i will not marry any so called sophisticated lady in Nigeria cos most of them no be am.

over creamed body
Forming high levels
disrespectful
non domestic
terrible cook
materialistic
vague
the list is endless

typicaltemi:
Dat's true @ Op

Only reasonable ladies look out for these but the ladies with materialistic nature will not look at any of these but money.

I pity most ladies in Nigeria

Im sorry to make this obvious but if you look at most people clamouring for JK you will observe that they are neither yorubas no Lagosians so ordinarily they wont give a bleep if Lagos becomes stagnant as they can always go back to their home town.

I urge every true Lagosians to Vote for Akinwunmi Ambode. This guy have served Lagos even longer than TInubu and Fashola so lets give him the chance to consolidate on his meritorious service for years in Lagos state.

StupidMod101:
My friend, what you do not know
You don't know it
Fashola almost sack Ambode just b'coz of mismanagement before Tinubu helped him out with uper power

Someone that can't even manage the account of lagos state well is what you call experience?

APC call for change in Nigeria (not some part o) and thank God Nigerians gave them the change after 16yrs

Here in lagos also we need CHANGE after 16yrs of TINUBU's company (ruling)

Jk we know for years even before fashola
Jk we trust
Jk we want

JK you know and trust but can you please tell me just some past records.achievements of JK since you know him?

ollah1:
I can't agree more. Btw, our new president ain't GAY!

I heard that Gay rumor about Jonathan though i refuse to believe it.

askibee:
well i dont realy say much about politics but its nyc to speak out sumtimes


ehm jimi is well known in lagos yea pdp is a bad party,he seems like d man who will bring in new ideas nd work as active as fashola he also hav is pple at hrt nd he knows were lagos needs d govt d most


ambode is jus a toy or shud i say a remote dough he will continue were d prev govnor stops bt wont bring in any new ideas he will only finish wat has been started jus like wat mr fashola did,dough he made life misrable for lagosians to an extent nd nt all d key locale in lagos was touch lemme giv him 50per cent he tried....but lagos shud decide as for me wud hav love to bring in jimi

Your views and opinions are well respected but believe me, its based on sentiments.

What we need is result oriented people irrespective of who brought them.

Tinubu godfather-ism A blessing or a curse to Lagos state.

Political godfather-ism can not be exempted from politics all over the world and this should not be an issue.

What we should look at is the ability of these godfathers to follow due process in ensuring that their choice candidate succeeds in winning the elective position.

In Lagos state,over the years many quarters have held the notion that Asiwaju Bola Hammed Tinubu’s “godfather-ism” is more akin to that of unscrupulous mafia dons.

Tinubu’s “godfather-ism” to these set means candidates for public office of his political party are not elected by popular vote but selected from Tinubu’s bedroom and then imposed on the party. They are then held under a tight leash by the Jagaban and are required to do his bidding on pain of being summarily replaced or impeached.

The question I keep asking the crusader of these funny and seemingly awkward assertion is this; does Tinubu have a hypnotic power to control the minds of these party members? OF-COURSE NOT.

I think what Tinubu does is that he meticulously analyses an individual within the party based on credibility and presents such to the party and does not impose or blackmail anyone to vote for such but uses the apparatus within his reach to foster his choice into coming out tops.

I would say that the "godfather-ism" of Tinubu have come out as a great blessing to Lagos state due to his ability to recognize a credible and efficient candidate as we have evidently seen in the person of Governor Fashola who turned Lagos state around and made Lagos the envy of every other states and also raised the bar so high that APC governors across Nigeria are known for excellent performance

In like manner, I believe that the emergence of Akinwunmi Ambode as the APC flag-bearer and subsequently the next governor of Lagos state will definitely bring about even a greater and more excellent governance.

I will not want to forget the rumored rift between Governor Fashola and Tinubu and if this is true then it even gets better because this goes a long way to show that these presumed “godsons” are not just excellent executives but are not also a push over for any one.

In conclusion, I would say that the “godfather-ism” of Tinubu if indeed it is what people call it,have been a blessing for Lagos and will continue to be a blessing and until we see a reason to discredit it, we will continue to vote for APC to take charge of the affairs in Lagos state for many years to come not because there is a presumed godfather somewhere but because Lagosians have realized that the representatives of this party are result oriented.

Akinwunmi Ambode is corrupt and unfit to govern Lagos?

I would like you all to read carefully to get the real facts before you judge for yourself but before I delve on the several corrupt practices I would like us to get a brief information about the man Ambode Akinwunmi

Ambode was born June 14, 1963 at the Epe General Hospital, Epe, Lagos, as the sixth of ten children. Ambode began his education at St. Jude’s Primary School, Ebutte Meta, Lagos, Nigeria in 1969. In 1974, while still in Primary 5, he sat for the National Common Entrance Examinations and was admitted to Federal Government College, Warri in the same year.

Ambode later spent 7 years in Warri, where he completed his Ordinary and Advanced Levels and had the distinction of achieving the second best result in all of West Africa in the Higher School Certificate Examinations in 1981.

He graduated from the University of Lagos with honors at a very young age of 21 in 1984, became a chartered accountant at the age of 24 and had completed his Masters Degree programme in Accounting, specializing in Financial Management. after which he joined the Lagos civil service and meritoriously served for 27years reaching the peak of his career by becoming a permanent secretary at the record breaking age of 37.

During his service in the state he had worked in various departments as well as different local government councils In 1998, Ambode was awarded the US Fulbright Scholarship for the Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship program, in Boston University, Massachusetts, USA. His Fellowship Year was spent studying Public Leadership with emphasis on Finance and Accounting.

During this programme Ambode had professional internships at The Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, the Cabinet Office of Administration and Finance (Governor’s Office), City of Boston Treasury Office as well as with the World Bank and IMF.

On his return from the programme, Ambode became acting AuditorGeneral for Local Government. This position was confirmed by the State House of Assembly in 2001 and in January 2005, Ambode was redeployed to mainstream public service as the permanent secretary of the Ministry of Finance.

By February 2006, Ambode was given the added responsibility ofaccountant general for Lagos State, in charge of all the financial activities of the state and directly responsible for over 1400 accountants in the state service

After 27 years in the civil service, Ambode voluntarily retired in August 2012. He founded Brandsmiths Consulting Limited to provide Public Finance and Management Consulting services to government at all levels, its parastatals and agencies. Brandsmiths, in collaboration withPrice Waterhouse Coopers, has trained government accountants and finance personnel to prepare them for the cut-over to the International Public Sector Accounting System (IPSAS) which is to become effective in 2015.

CORRUPTION ALLEGATIONS AGAINST HIM.

1.The diversion of civil servants allowances and bonuses; the diversion of monies meant
for the failed ENRON electrification project.

2. The diversion of 65% of funds approved for sports festival; diversion of LG funds released by President Obasanjo and Yaradua.

3. Collection of N9Billion from LASU grants; stealing from the roads and bridges purportedly constructed.

4. Diversion of funds in the abandoned light rail project; diversion of funds in the Lekki Free Trade Zone project;

5. Collection of the profits realizable in the BRT/LAGBUS project;

6. Conversion of the Capital and Profits in the then ECONET wireless shares; stealing of monies meant for Pensions.

7. Also, diversion of funds in the pool of the Lagos State Security trust
Fund;

8. Conversion of two Helicopter Choppers now in Niger Delta region;

9. Stealing of lagos Yacht;

10. Collection of international loans using LASG as front and many more.

These are the allegations leveled against him by PDP but the question is “CAN PDP SUBSTANTIATE THESE CLAIMS?”

We have just crossed a hurdle of similar baseless accusations concerning the president elect and I keep wondering if PDP will ever get it right.

We are more concerned with campaigns detailing what you plan to offer the electorates and not baseless and unfounded accusations that at the end will always work against them.

For now we have no cogent reason to vote out APC in Lagos and until we have one,we will not experiment with PDP that failed us in the national level for 16years. Come April 11th, we will vote en-mass for continuity, we will vote for vivid and proven track record and we will vote for result oriented and focused team to move lagos to greater heights.

WE WILL VOTE FOR AKINWUNMI AMBODE…
WE WILL VOTE FOR APC.

Lagos has been in the opposition camp since the advent of the fourth republic and has consequently suffered neglect from the Federal gov't ruling party.

Now that APC is the ruling party you now want Lagos to go back into opposition? Heaven forbids

We do not only need a competent man, we need someone with a wealth of experience and knowledge about governance. Agbaje is only second to Ambode based on these criteria.

The allegations by the opposition are only normal but we as Lagosians are to ask ourselves the following :

1. Are you unhappy with Fashola's performance?

2. Do you want this path of excellence which Lagos is known for to stop?

3. Is Agbaje tested, tried and trusted?

4. Can you afford to experiment with a state as crucial as Lagos?

Permit me to say that no true Lagosian will dare gamble with the future of Lagos so I urge true lagosians to vote and also mobilize en mass for APC so that together we can move lagos forward.

Thank you.

mymadam:
Though I do not believe anyone could say this at this time, but if true, this is for you, Asari Dokubo.

Calm down, my Nigerian brother, the truth is that, if not probably handled, the end product of any irrational action - from any quarters - will go beyond June 12... all the way to 1966. However, this time the end result will be worse than 1966-70! Why & how? There will be no slang like, "no victor, no vanquished" again... THE WINNER WILL TAKE ALL. Please I advise that you quickly take a crash course in World History. Peace, brother, peace! God bless Nigeria.

Why all these sermon?

He is only a toothless bulldog and if he thinks Buhari is Jona then he must be the greatest fool on earth. Nigeria dares him and the general also dares him. FOOL

BlackBaron:
Buhari's 4 years clock starts counting from May 29.
He too would get the boot if he doesn't perform, that's a promise from the Nigerian people

Thats the point. No more room for mediocrity

BANKYBOIZ:
I would advice the person who posted this to be sure of what he's writing up about AKINWUNMI AMBODE.
Well, if we want to look into this critically, when the Presidential Campaign was on, some people were busy looking for the WAEC certificate of the current Presidential Elect. So am not surprised that people we are seeing this right now.
Let's remember that we're voting Competence and Good Service.
Vote AKINWUNMI AMBODE for Governor.
Vote APC.

Let's continue the good work.

Eko o ni baje ooo...

This is why many youths of today remain stagnant intellectually.

we must imbibe the reading culture and ensure that before we make comments on any issue or posts,we must carefully read and comprehend rather than reading news headline and hastily respond.

MichaelKukus:
Baseless allegations without litigation cannot come into fruition, and is simply insignificant. So do yourself a great service and we rode a petition if you really care.

Akinwunmi Ambode has more than proven to be qualified for the mantle of leadership of this great state. And us Lagosians love him and the innovation the APC has brought to Lagos and the country as a whole.

If you're without factual information or you simply want to know more about Akinwunmi Ambode, visit this link......http://akinwunmiambode.com/biography/

EKO O NI BAJE

How come you wrote all these but can not read first.

KukusB:
This article is completely defamatory. I'd advice the writer to verify information before uploading it on such a platform as this.

Akinwunmi Ambode has proven to be indeed transparent. A person does not simply accend to the position of being regarded as a senior accounting practictioner without being throughly transparent and accountable.

This article is a disgrace on the writer and democracy as a whole.

Come April 11th, I shall still starch my shirt, file out like a true patriot and vote Akinwunmi Ambode for continuity and good governance. EKO O NI BAJE.

Another togolese.

luknice:
This article have no ground... we lagosian are proud of APC principle.. #ambode is the man... all this are political abracadabra

You mean to say the accusations have no ground but you need to seee how gullible people can buy into unsubstanciated accusations with so much veracity. Some even say he was sacked.

Tzmilez:
Sometimes I just can't tell how stupid some people are. Fayose said Buhari can't win, and he was the first to congratulate; if you have been paid to spoil the name of a good man you better return the money, All you're trying to say is people should not vote APC, yet you can't compare lagos to your state its 50years backward in terms of development, just watch what you say because me I'm voting Ambode and there's nothing you can do about it; if you like write 1000 lies here on Nairaland it will not stop me from voting for ambode.

#Ambode2015 !!!!! Apc all the way !!!

Are you from Benin rep or Togo that you cant comprehend? please learn to read before making beer parlor comments.

Clerverly:
Hope you read the article?

Leave him. People like them are everywhere,jumping to conclusion without reading.Olodo

easytouch030:
if is d only jk to vote for, I w rather stay indoor and continue watching channels TV, cause I discovered he has nothing tangible to offer us.

That is my point. Lets leave sentiments aside, Agbaje has no vivid plan for Lagos compared to a man who have served lagos for solid 27years

WisdomFlakes:
Lagos has been in the opposition camp since the advent of the fourth republic and has consequently suffered neglect from the Federal gov't ruling party. Now that APC is the de facto ruling party you now want Lagos to go back into opposition? Ko Jo! JK is DOA.

Intelligent point.

Put your mods in order and i still wonder why they had to ban me just because i was expressing my views about Buhari's victory and this made me conclude that its either you or your mods are pro Jonathan,

I need and unreserved apology from who ever carried out the barbaric,idiotic and archaic act.[/size]

HE SHOULD PACK HIS BAGS AND SHOES AND GET READY TO LEAVE ASO ROCK

BUHARI CAN NOW JAIL CORRUPT CRIMINALS

Please lets respect President Jnathan for being an ambassador of change.

He is indeed a man of honour and integrity.

There's illiteracy in every part of the country and people from the South East and South South are also biased when it comes to tribalism.

Very very true.

If you want to know if a candidate is credible simply look at the south west choice.

We are too intelligent,educated and enlightened to allow nepotism and baseless sentiments becloud our sense of reasoning.

I hope this is for real because this is sweetest news I have read in a very long time.

This is not rocket science but simple kinderharten arithmetic.

Check the states and see for yourself. Even if Pdp succeeds in rigging Imo and Edo, twothird of Nigeria states is too sure for APC

UrennaNkoli:
Too bad

RIP to the dead.
PDP thugs everywhere and killing all in the name of a victory they will never smell. Even women of PDP are armed and deadly.
Say no to violence PDP and stop the killing spree.

say no to violence, war and chaos irrespective of your political party.

Trust me,some people can take some issues so personal and i guess several heated argument must have come up overtime on who the wife MUST vote for.

We must learn to appreciate peoples opinion no matter their affiliations to us.
