ba7man: So you can't pay 200grand to avoid a lifetime of bills?? How intelligent of you and your friend. From what you posted above, I could deduce 3 things . 1. LASG water isn't affordable hence you feel it's cheaper to drill and maintain your private borehole . 2. LASG water isn't clean hence you cannot trust it for anything other than for washing cars 3. LASG water isn't steady hence you prefer to use a private borehole where you can conveniently guarantee steady water using a float switch to pump water for storage . |

software man: Thanks for taking up this challenge! I will expect you remain civil in your comments while we argue because I ignore insults. First the questions you answered were questions I said you should answer personally with your God!! The questions I asked for your answers were for you to name particular projects Fashola solely executed with public funds within his tenure as Governor, which I believe is the main aim of this thread, I asked this because when the OP started showing pictures of projects, he was displaying many pictures of private sponsored projects and Lagos state being a business hub you shouldn't expect anything less from corporate bodies resident there. |

Rad1cal: T-Something singlehandedly shut the noise makers up . Damn !!! I am waiting for any of them to come up with proofs I raised and instead the idiot who calls himself Mafia man is asking me to prove am from Akwa ibom?? He chicken out as expected!! The other one called it a Joint Venture project, where it was clearly stated that it is a Social Responsibility project, but earlier they bragged it was all Fashola's project!! This is one, I am waiting for them to try me on their water projects!! I challenge anyone of them to name the water projects solely funded by Fashola and the Locations and I will give you facts !! I don't stay in Lagos so I may not recognize the schools they posted here, but if they are so bold let them state the names of Schools Fashola built solely with state funds and we will start from there!! This thread was created to show ONLY PROJECTS EXECUTED BY the above Governors and not some privately funded or driven projects. Remember we are trying to justify how both men used the resources at their disposal to touch the lives of their citizens!! 2 Likes |

I made a challenge here and your sensible brother are researching to get articles to counter my challenge and you are here bringing tribe and ethnicity into a development challenge!!! For information, I am a proud Akwa Ibomite, and happily reside in Uyo. So STFU and challenge me on issues not on ethnic sentiments !! Bastard!! |

plaindealer: It shouldn't be too hard to point out the so called 80% PPP projects now. What's holding you? Abeg don't run away o Name the projects whose pictures you posted here with their location and I will prove they are PPP projects for you to delete. Let's start with the Coscharis Training centre. LASG contribution was providing a moribund training centre that was established decades ago and Cosharis invested cash into it, So in other words Fashola didn't put in a dime of LASG funds into it, rather it was a wasted facility rotting somewhere that is his own counterpart fund in the arrangement. Note Cosharis is doing this as a Corporate Social Responsibility Project hence the terms would be more in favour of LASG than Cosharis.!! Now can you prove me wrong or you delete it from his achievements?? |

One out of the many posted here has been proved to be purely private sector with no dime of LASG included. I am waiting to prove more , just waiting for anyone willing to take up the challenge and name the particular project he claims Fashola started and completed solely with LASG funds !! |

naptu2: I stated the link for you to read the whole story. Some things in the story worthy of note are ... 1. Coscharis is doing it as a Corporate Social Responsibility 2. Cosharis is injecting N1 Billion into the project 3. Cosharis is to train students for LASG at no cost to the govt 4. Fashola himself marveled at the vision of the project and thanked those who conceptualized it. If you dispute any of these items, I would paste each paragraph where these were stated. Now what I want you to prove to me is to show me where in any article or document where Fashola injected funds into this project!! I challenge you on this!! If you can't, we can move to any of his next project you want to bring up for challenge!! |

naptu2: The difference is that you stated that LASG "chose" Cosharis whereas its was Cosharis who chose to do the project as its CSR. If you read the post , you will see it was Coscharis that injected 1 Billion into the moribund venture and would use it to train students for LASG at no cost to LASG for 4 years after which they will manage it for some years before returning it to LASG. Bottom line, No LASG fund nor idea is involved in this!!! |

naptu2: Eko Engineering Ventures Limited was set up by the Lagos State Government in the 1970s. It was meant to be an engineering company that would build and maintain automobiles, etc. Years of bad management under successive military regimes brought the company to its knees. The Fashola Administration decided to revamp the company, use it as a centre for its skills acquisition programme and get a private company to manage it. Coscharis was chosen as the private company that will manage it. Eko Engineering Ventures is still owned by the Lagos State Government. Read the truth here Therefore, in alignment to its Corporate Social Responsibility drive and in identifying with the Lagos State’s Public Private Partnership initiative, Coscharis Motors officially took over the Eko Engineering project for Sales and After Sales Services of all auto brands as well as managing the vocational centre for technical skill acquisition specifically to provide after sales support for Rapid Response Squad (RRS) fleet of vehicles. “ http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/lagos-bold-move-to-tackle-youth-unemployment/120551/ |

Fashola will read this thread and be happy his being worshiped and continue to scam you guys the more by cutting tape at every gutter completed by someone. Let's look at all the project and pictures displayed here, one by one... . Schools..... How many of such schools that are displayed here are in Lagos? How many of you here who worship Fashola can entrust your kids to such schools? Why don't you show us pictures of schools in use and not the ones they are commissioning? Now the big question how many of this school rehabilitation projects are SOLELY funded by LASG? Please anyone replying should do that with a list so we can verify else quite quoting cos I will ignore you. Water ..... How come despite all these water projects posted here, 80% of Lagosians still don't have public water? How many of you can be sincere to your God and say you actually use this water projects posted here or anyone at all? OK, they are only used to prove Fashola has provided water. Even at that which and which particular water works is fully funded by LASG, please be careful when listing them cos I have got the list of world bank assisted water projects in Lagos and most of them were commissioned by Fashola in his usual manner. Skill Acquisition - Aren't you ashamed that you displayed Cosharis Training centre as part of LASG project? Because he called Fashola to commission it and offered a partnership with LASG, now its termed a visionary project from Fashola. Ask how much did Fashola invest there? Name and show us skill acquisition centres solely built by Fashola . Housing - For you to even enumerate this as Fashola's project shows how ignorant you are of government. I am sure you are one of those kids who ejaculate when you see this Con man cuts any tape. The houses schemes you mentioned and posted here are private sector driven and the few with LASG participation are funded from Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria. I challenge you to prove me wrong!!! Security - You display vans and security gadgets fully provided by the support of private/ corporate bodies using the vehicle of Lagos Security Trust Fund. How much did LASG donate to the trust fund? Haba facts are sacred. Even the Police vans donated by MTN just last week, the Con man was at hand to cut the tape like as if LASG contributed a dime for even the spare tires of any of the vans. Agriculture - Like seriously , I am surprised someone could post Fashola's picture in an agric mart as an achievement!! I even saw one pix Eko rice!! Please which of you have seen or eaten this Eko rice? Which of you go to this Agric mart Fashola snapped pictures with? How many of these Agric marts are there in the entire Lagos state? How has this Agric mart helped in reducing the prices of food in Lagos state? These are questions sensible pple should ask and not looking and beautiful colored pictures. Public works - I saw pictures of a beautiful building being inaugurated and so many road construction equipments, but I would still like to ask , If LASG owns all these equipments, then repairing LASG shouldn't be a problem!! At least you can use these guys to embark on regular maintenance of roads and even construction of minor Road works. You should ask yourself why is that pothole at your busstop still there even after one year? Where are these guys being used ? Or are they just for photo propaganda? Overall if Fashola has performed as you claim, can you sincerely say your life is better? Has you travel time within Lagos improved? Have you enjoyed better healthcare services from LASG hospitals and hence quit using private hospitals? Can you sleep comfortable at night in Lagos feeling secured or can you walk at night on the streets of Lagos feeling safe? Have you been able to buy food cheaper than before? Has your business fared better under Fashola's economic policies? These are questions you should answer between yourself and your God, don't reply me cos it affects only you Let me stop here for now. I will be willing to engage anyone with sensible comments on a debate free of insults and mudslinging but purely on facts and figures. 2 Likes |

Delafruita: can you see how myopic you are?while akpabio only has to worry about building stadiums,roads etc,fashola has to pay a civil service whose budget alone will build that stadium.fashola has to think of how to connect every single part of lagos.this doesn't require major roads,rather it requires intra-city roads which are much shorter but are required in almost every nook and cranny of lagos.even worse,construction of such roads aren't noticeable because they are just meant to serve a certain area but their functionality is noticed.I wonder why fashola will need to build a stadium .before u can compare fashola to akpabio,fashola should be receiving triple what akwa-ibom receives.but in a case where both states have almost d same budget,you need to consider the population and requirement of both states then you determine who is making more efficient use of the resources available I chose to engage you in an argument despite all the numerous comments on this thread because only your comment had a semblance of sense in it though its flawed due to ignorance of some facts, hence reducing yourself to act like the numerous goons on this website by insulting me instead of attacking my points raised smacks of stupidity. I asked you a simple question and you are still yet to answer those questions yet you chose the ones to defend, especially if you can rope the FG in. I said and proved that all the social amenities provided by LASG as reflected in the budget are charged or tolled. Education isn't free , Healthcare isn't free, Water isn't available and the little available isn't free, Sanitation which has failed still isn't free, Transportation isn't free, Housing isn't free, Roads are tolled, Security is supported by private / corporate bodies, None of the social amenities yet ur governor claims he is spending 499Bill (plus 610Bill loan) on these things. So what are the proceeds from this investments used for, since you said the 499billion is used to take care of civil service, and the broken down facilities aren't even repaired or maintained. Please ask someone more educated than you to explain these things in a simple manner you brain can comprehend 2 Likes |

Delafruita: You are wrong, Akwa Ibom only has 700 people and not 3mill as you stated. Akpabio has only completed 3 roads in only Uyo city and after that nothing. Does that make you happier? You guys just rush to write things without reading to see if it makes sense. First let me ask some questions from the rubbish you wrote above. What is the budget of Lagos state in 2013 ? - 499Bill What is the budget of Akwa Ibom statte in 2013? - 470Bill From this we can see that Lagos clearly intends to spend more money than Akwa Ibom. Now let ask ourselves what do they spend the money on? In Akwa Ibom , at least we can see world class contractors like Juluis Berger building world class roads all around the state in a timely manner. We are building an international airport, we are building a world class stadium, a seaport, an underground drainage system to combat flooding and still it hasn't stopped him from providing FREE education in conducive classrooms for the 700pple in Akwa Ibom. It hasn't stopped him from renovating/building health centres and upgrading them? It hasn't stopped him from providing water to the most interior village even if its mere bore hole? It hasn't stopped him from repairing decayed FG roads? It hasn't pushed him to introduce over bearing taxes? It hasn't pushed him to introduce tolls on the roads? It hasn't pushed him to deport non-indigenes who enjoy the FREE education. In Lagos, Fashola has spent 7 years trying to complete a 50KM road, which is tolled at every 10km interval. He still unable to complete Lagos - Badagry expressway after 6 years . He builds schools with support from corporate bodies, yet education isn't free, rather LASU students have to pay 300K as school fees. He hasn't been able to provide water for even 40% of Lagosians because we all know everyone including you drink from private bore hole. The security vehicles and gadgets he donates to the police are from donations of coporate bodies. Even the so-called BRT u guys brag about which to me is just a glorified Molue, you guys still pay to use it. Everything the Govt provides for you from this budget, the citizens pay for it,. Now going back to your population argument, if Lagos state has the 15mill population as you claimed, it means recovering the investment used in providing these amenities should be faster and the burden on the citizens should be lesser, but has this been the case in Lagos? For example, how much would it cost Lagos state govt to complete a 50KM road ? Let's say at 1 billion a kM, that should amount to 50Billion, now how much has LASG collected so for from the toll plazas for 3 years now? If LASG is a responsive Govt, dedicating 18Bill annually from a 499Bill budget for 3 years would had completed that road without any resultant impact on the citizens. Besides I forgot to remind you that LASG still owes 610Bill despite all these, yet Akwa Ibom state only owes just 80Bill!! 6 Likes |

just going through the various comments from agbameta and demdem , it just proved how shallow the reasoning of these kids are. first I can't believe a reasonable person would criticise this project embarked by a state government to complement the efforts of the FG. If all tiers of government were to complement each other in development projects instead of competing, Nigeria would develop faster and we would stop throwing our frustration to the FG. Even though it's a prison facility , it looks better than most schools their paymasters built in 6 years .Just so you know Akpabio isn't as loud mouthed like your Fashola idol who goes on international TV to commission street lights. This facility had since been completed and put to use over 2 years ago and no one heard any noise. Another funny thing about your posts are where you claim Akpabio kept his family in Lagos because its safer than uyo. Are you really this dumb or your just ignorant due to the fact you have never travelled outside Lagos ? Let us even assume that Uyo isn't safe, didn't your sense tell you that he would prefer Abuja over Lagos of all places.

MostIncredible.DFirst: My brother I thought by now we should be tired of this comparison between Attah and Akpabio . Both governors reigned under different atmospheres . First we cant deny the fact that Attah was father of modern Akwa Ibom, while Akpabio pursued that vision rigorously and passionately with his eyes for excellence .Attah didn't have the money Akpabio had, but he fought for the resources of the state, Akpabio was lucky to meet this boom in funds and aggressively pursued the dream of Attah . It will be wicked to lie that Akpabio has just done few roads in Uyo. Lemme refresh your memory of few uyo roads undertaken by Akpabio . 3rd Ring Road Dualization of Oron road from Mbiabong to Airport Aka Road to Nung Udoe Osong Ama roads Ewet Housing roads currently undertaken by Mothercat Urbanization of Ikpa road junction by Ikot Ekpene road Urbanization of Brooks street junction by barracks road and Nwaniba road Urbanization of Edet Akpan Avenue junction by Nwaniba road Calabar - Itu road Dualization of Ekom Iman to Abak Dualization of Uyo to Ikot Ekpene Please let's remove hate and sentiments and say things as they are, Akpabio has completed more KM of roads than the entire 8years of Attah and we don't expect less because he has far more resources than Attah and let's not forget came in when we had a nascent democracy and had to spend time and resources stabilizing the polity. Why I appreciate Akpabio is because he hasn't spared anything to bring quality infrastructures of world standards to Akwa Ibom.

@Ujoinme : Nice work Bro for keeping the thread alive. Am sorry Iv not had time to get the pictures I promised you, I have been busy with other engagements in Calabar and Aba , besides the weather too hasn't been encouraging cos it rains all day here. I think we should also try and draw the FG's attention to the deplorable state of Calabar - Itu highway and Aba - Ikot Ekpene road. These roads are terrible especially the Aba - Ikot Ekpene road. The governors of these states should use these projects to bargain from FG whenever they come campaigning . Meanwhile I expect the governors to try and ameliorate the suffering of motorists by doing some repair works at the failed spots . We know Akpabio had reconstructed some segments of this Calabar - Itu highway, and Imoke has used his meagre resources to do the very bad spots , but T.A. Orji hasn't done anything on the Aba - IK road. The Aba part of that road has totally collapsed and its gradually crippling economic activities on that axis . Lastly this is an educative and informative thread so you will do well to ignore stupid trolls such as Eko Ile or Agbameta or whatever the ignorant fool chooses to answer . The dude is just so unhappy that despite the plenty praise and worship stories of Fashola , he's unable to compile such a thread like this with pictures , rather he takes pictures of VI and Lekki but can't show us pix of the wooden bridge he crosses at Ikola when leaving his house at Iyana Ipaja. |

software man: let me try breaking it down lower for your comprehension!!! What is the cost of construction the 50KM Lekki road?? I dont know neither do you. Lets speculate based on the rates of similar road projects within the same geopolitical zone. We know roads are constructed at an average of 1 billion per KM in south western states. Lets just say this road is to be a very very super road, hence its rate is 1.5 Billion per KM, hence the total cost of the project should be 75 billion. Now how many KM of the road has been completed? you can answer it and multiply by 1.5Billion Now how much has been generated from this road for the past 3 years. Lets be conservative and say about 500,000 vehicles pass that toll every day out and into lekki. lets say an average of N150 (this is conservative knowing most of this would be buses and SUVs) hence total amount generated daily .. 500,000 X 150 X 2 times daily = 150 million daily 150 mill X 360 days X 3 years = 162 billion How much is generated from adverts on all the bill boards? Lets just say 500 million annually so in 3years that is 1.5 billion Total amount received = 163.5 billion Total amount spent = ?? billion Total Cost of complete road = 75 billion Amount refunded back to concessionaire = 7 billion Do you now see the fraud? 6 Likes |

software man: since you couldn't answer my questions I asked earlier , let me reduce this concession fraud to the level you would understand . The concession agreement is supposed to run for an agreed period of time during which the concessioniare is supposed to construct and continuously maintain the road infrastructure for the period stated in the agreement . He is to recover his investments by tolls and other services on the road. Now coming back to Lekki road, the concessioniare isn't recovering any investment from the tolls , rather they are generating funds that would be used in constructing the road. Why am I saying this? You recover your investment if the road had been completely constructed , but in this case the road hasn't been completed yet users are being tolled. Now the Government wants to do something, wouldn't they have just cancelled the contract due to non performance / breach of contract by the concessioniare , rather they want to buy back the concession agreement with 7 billion . Ask yourself how much has the concessioniare invested so far on the road? How much have they generated by way of tolls and advert on the uncompleted road? So why are you still paying them 7 billion instead recovering money from them? My brother wake up and smell the coffee , Lagosians have been scammed by one of the greatest scam artists in Africa. By the way who tolls a road leading to a predominantly residential area without providing an alternative toll free road? 7 Likes |

How many years will it take Lagos to complete a 50Km road that is tolled at every 10km interval ? Lagos spends over 500 billion annually for about 14 years, can you sincerely point out to infrastructures worth this amount? There are current plans to reduce the burden of Lagos ports (both seaport and airport ), this would result in decreased revenue , except the Govt increases the current tax burden , how do they intend to repay the 610 billion debt if by now that things are good, the govt is still planning to increase its borrowing ?
