Is Fashola the only leader in Nigeria?[quote author=How Far?]On one hand you're asking someone to hold our leaders responsible, on the other you're absorbing Fashola of his moral and legal responsibility.

Is it too much for tax payers to know how much is remitted to Tinubu monthly?[/quote]

We already know that your brains are programmed to see, think, dream and live Fashola to the extent during election most of you will vote in Fashola by mistake instead of gej if he's on the ballot, because to you he's everything, Fashola is all in your heads. I'm sure most of you will say Fashola subconsciously if asked who is the president of Nigeria.

Only 3 states in Nigeria passed FOI, and guess what, they are all from the feared APC states. So what exactly is the problem now? The state that is doing something is berated while the ones doing nothing are giving passes.

Those shouting they pay taxes to Lagos here either post their tax infomation or shut your criminal faces forever cos you are all tax evaders anyway or btter still move your business back to where you won't have to pay taxes.

Ibos or these atounrinwas are not demanding things from a place of love, but hate. None of their home state governor has adopted the FOI, yet they are demanding it from their host state. Can you imagine a child going to the next door neighbor to demand what he/she can't think of asking at home.

Omo Oodua, well done oo!!! The strangers among us are so comfortable that they now reject our existing laws and dictate how and when laws should be passed.

Our leaders made mistake by not controlling who came in. Now are we going to start doing something today?

Stop selling properties to ibos.

Can you post what your home state governor has done about foi. I know Fashola is like the only governor in Nigeria, but common!!! Don't always expect him to set the stage for every damn thing and stop comparing Fashola to the president of Nigeria. Fashola is only accountable to Lagos while gej is to the whole country. For once in your life, start holding your leaders responsible.

taharqa: Can Smone shld tell this CLOWN to SHUT d helll up??.... The FOI was passed in 2010, this is end 2013; what is still keeping Fashola and oda APC Govs from sending their own version of d FOI to their rubberstamp State Assemblies for d necessary 'domestication' and subsequent passage to law, so that their State Citizens wud be able to freely demand info from d States and hold their Govts to account. Do you reali need a Citizen to do so like this HYPOCRITE suggests, If d State Govs, like Fashola, are reali interested in Transparency and Openess in Governance... All these just makes a point even much clearer: Politicians like GEJ are rare in Nigeria. It took GEJ Personal promise and a fulfilment of same to hv d FOI passed and signed in Nigeria (the ONLY President who hv agreed to so do since b4 Independence); the States wud refuse to pass d FOI and open themselves to public scrutiny, same way they all (without Exception) hv continued to rig their LG Elections they way it always hv been...

Your father is a dog

ROYALD: Fashiola is a criminal

If anyone can be a governor of Lagos, how come you ibos can't be the governor or you just don't want to be the number one guy in Lagos? A state you would in a drop of hat choose to have in an exchange for all your 5 states combined?

You should check the forbes to see the richest Nigerians. The only place ibos have money is in their mouths. Ibos dont have money, all you have is mouth. Ibos are into petty trades of used and sub standard junk yard spare parts. Yoruba and Hausas are the real business icons of Nigeria when real money is involved.

The culture of Lagos and the ruling class alone should tell you who owns Lagos



[quote author=me_for_you]u are a very fuulish man to say money fashola and tinubu steal is Yoruba money. How much does Yoruba have? What trade are you people good in?
Lagos is a no-man's land. Has been so and will always be so. Even a boko kanuri man from chad can be elected as a governor of lagos state.
Lagos has no identity, anybody can claim it, just like abuja.
And Igbo will never leave lagos and will always dominate the economy of lagos, because we built that city-state[/quote]

The money Fashola spends is presumably from Yoruba and Yoruba generated. Lagos does not need oil money even though most of the off shore oil wells are closer to Lagos than any state in Nigeria and can be claimed by Lagos when the time comes. Money from Lagos funds many states in Nigeria including yours.

Lagos is a Yorubaland, ruled by Yoruba leaders, law and culture, and until we have an ibo governor, your cry will remain a call of the wild.

You ibos will rant till eternity, but won't be able to touch my Lagos, you will remain the irrelevant, lousy, never do well squatters that you have always been.

ketoprofen: The money fashola gets from Lagos citizens are not majorly from yorubas.
Aviation ministry is funded by oil proceeds and oil does not come from Lagos.
Lagos allocations are from oil proceeds
Lagos was developed in the 70s with oil money.

Yorubas are insecure because if u touch the cosmopolitan Lagos, u have walked over the whole Yoruba race.
What a shame

Can someone list the makes and models of cars the SE governors are driving. List those with Jets too, so we can compare them with Fashola. Comparing apples and oranges will not cut it. Let put Fashola side by side with these governors who have much less responsibilities.

Ibos are commenting from places of pain anger, envy, obssession and wish Lagos is in their region.

Stop trying to fit round pegs into square hole. List your governors who have way less job than Fashola and lets compare their vehicles.

The money Fashola spends belongs to Lagosians, but the money the thief oduah spends belong to the whole Nigeria with the large chunk of it from Lagos.

Got to go jor!

Hey sugar pack! How is iya charlie?

These biatches are crazy, I tell you. You will find yourself going in circle trying to make them see that nothing revolves around them except their imagination.

shymexx: You're dumb! Where am I right now - fool?

You can't say you are succeful when there is no proof. Lets see what forbes say. How many firsts do ibos have(not even one) compared to Yoruba atleast ten. So where do we start the comparison. All outstanding Nigerians abroad in 2013 are Yoruba. The only glory you brought to Nigeria is robbing and getting beating and hanged all over the world, save for your contribution to soccer. You suck and you know it.

Decryptor: yaribas made ibos what they are today? This is the biggest joke i have ever heard in my entire life! If a man makes another man successful and he is not successful himself, then that man is cursed! So which means your tribe must be cursed. Just reacting based on your own theory.

The tone was set for it to be this way, only if you can read between the line though. You are not going to fire cheap shot my way or bring it over here.

doc sholz: Guy it's enough, for once let there be a non tribalistic debate on nairaland

Did I stutter? I said your mother gave birth to half human.You guys need to stop asking me question and do something about it.

[quote author=mr_born_todo_it]What has name calling got to do with the thread . You also said something childish on Igbo not buying anything in Lagos . I am sure you must have grown up with bitter people . I am Igbo and I support fashola . I don't expect you to do the same but please save the name calling and referring to people's parents simply because you are hiding behind a phone or computer. Can you challenge him to his face? Come on, stop these bull crap and learn how to socialize . This is a social network and not an anti-social one . Are you a learner?[/quote]

You biatch are crazy. You do both married and single, and still screw goat too. Time to get help

[quote author=me_for_you]what will it benefit me to make anything up here?
I have a lot of Yoruba friends. A lot. And even your ladies. I take advantage of them being treacherous to do my thing with them whether they are married or not.[/quote]

How can you call the person who made you what you are today lazy? If we are lazy then you must be dead. Ibo reasoning at work.

Decryptor: @the bolded, a lazy man can never lock his door against someone who comes to his house to sweep it clean and sanitize it! Think about that. Oke ohia!

And who is going to make me shut up? Hey I said that and what are you going to do about it? What about he lends it to you first since you ate yours in your mother's womb. You need it more.

GentleMimi: Shut up,child! You do not have to bring in such lousy statement into this discussion.Leave his mum and her womb out of it. As i said earlier,u sound juvenile. Grow up ! You do not have to resort to degradatory comments to get ur points across! Sheesh.

You are making shitt up. You don't sound like anyone with Yoruba friends. You are just crazy.
[quote author=me_for_you]then pls tell me. Why was my colleague who was from ondo state and was even working in abuja and died in abuja buried at ikoyi cemetery?
I have a friend in Ilorin, who's actually from kabba. 4 girls and 3 boys, all married in Ilorin. None has ever stepped home. I don't even think their father knows the road to his ancestor's home.
Yoruba doesn't have culture joor, you marry anywhere and get buried where u are residing.[/quote]

I'm sure you are scared and thinking could this actually happen, yes it could, so be very afraid.

GentleMimi: *Yawns*
Kiddo,engage me in a more intelligent brawl of words when u grow up.I feel like i'm communicating wif a child.Did u even read ur comment?
*rolls eyes,sneezes and farts*...excuse me.

Is your mother still alive? If so you need to go and quickly grab that thing you forgot in her womb it will make a whole lot of difference between what you said now and what you will say when you screw the mixing nuts back into your head.

niyitogun: Wow! Am impressed! Seeing such constructive posts and comments on NL (except the childish go back to your state, who is your own governor posts)...Nice one UYI and also the moderator who moved this to the front page, couldn't agree with you more going by the amount of internal revenue generated and federal allocation to Lagos. Happy 2014.

We dont need ibos to buy anything in Lagos. We can always sell to the Hausas or other nationals who want to do business in Yorubaland. But first we must clean the ibos out and let others come in. You must stay in your states whether you like it or not. You do not have up to 1 million people left in iboland and yet you can't keep your mouth shut. You will have no choice than to face what is driving you out of your land since the only part you are now welcome is being trampled on. You will soon engage in your road running race when the north get super hot, west will lock its door, lets see where you vagabonds will head.

GentleMimi: Oh keep mute already! Why wldn't they keep up wif the shiit we dish out? We pay them to do so! *sorry,uncalled for*
But the truth of the matter is that if the yorubas decide that they will not do business with other tribes,they will suffer it. Who pays the bill? ''Dn't rent out to igbos''...indeed. Una go tire when poverty don kiss u small.Even after buying their lands,we still pay their jobless ''omonile'' for every phase of the building process.
Business men who are successful do not involve sentiments....u will make a very poor business man.You are too emotional in terms of tribe and culture.Free your mind and learn to appreciate constructive criticism!

You just have to lie to make sense. Any Yoruba that's buried in Lagos is from Lagos and the ones you see taken to other towns are going home too. Yoruba culture demands the dead be buried with their ancestors. Ibos only send their dead home for consumption. Spot the difference?
[quote author=me_for_you]Fashola is a failure in capital letters. All these osundefenders should go and sit down. Typical Yoruba attitude - suffering and smiling.
Worst is that yorubas don't have culture. That's why an ijebu man from Ogun state will live in lagos, marry in lagos, die and get buried in a lagos cemetery. Shame.[/quote]

I know that the below was typed to console yourself and no way you Atounrinwas actually believe you have the same right to the land. What is still working in your favor is Yoruba have not stopped selling land to you people like other parts of the countries are currently doing. I know it's just a matter of time before that too will go the way of " don't rent out to ibos". Just pray that Yoruba will keep putting on with your shitts. Yoruba hold the yam and the knife and when they choose to use it, even the drunken united nation won't be able to save you.

GentleMimi: This topic is a front page material,and i admire some matured,well srtuctured and coincise comments here. The childish ones are those ''hinting'' at the influx of other tribes into Lagos. How many of u are from Lagos.You are not a more qualified Lag citizen than the igbo man from across the Niger,nor the hausa man from the north.The fact remains that these same ''immigrants'' have contributed tremendously to the economy of Lagos...and also the slums and degradation.(You cannot seperate the assets from liability in this package)
Fashola did a great job during his first tenure.But truth be told,he has floundered so far. I was opportuned to be at ikotun.That area needs divine intervention.Fashola is only interested in the ''big man'' part of Lagos,not where the common man lives.Its disheartening.I remove my cap for him at his achievements in the first four years as governor.But now,i just SMH!

The answer will be very, very difficult, cos they believe Lagos is the only state in Nigeria

Ephramed: In a class of 36 pupils and a student get in an exam 1/100 in a subject.who is the best student in that subject @OP?

It's the natural constitution tied to your tongue on the day you entered this world.

You know your people are not working their butts hard enough to pay enough taxes cos I know some of you slip through the crack. Fashola should make you pay taxes through the nose

jmoore: Which constitution gave you that information?

Lagos Government collects taxes from only yorubas too?

smh

I do not need your validation, so you can ignore my comments just as I did. She came out loud and clear with a message to rubbish all Fashola is doing to carry burden that the rest of the world is running from, and tries to backpeddle just because she couldn't stick it does not make it any better. Foreign investors know exactly what they are doing, how I wish I can say the same about us in Nigeria. Or how much is a gala hawker paying in taxes? that they are being compared to investors who have rules.

ba7man: Your opinion is wrong. No city can become truely great if they don't encourage diversity in its population and external investors in it.

Do you know how much money the Saudis and Chinese have invested in the USA?? Or how much Germany, USA are currently investing in China??

That's why i pity some Politicians that campaign along the religious/tribal divide and the people that support them.

Soon they start to wonder why Dangote ignored investing in their region or why foreign investments isn't pouring into their region like it ought to.

I don't know where in the blue hell you were born, but you have no stake in Lagos if you are not Yoruba. I can see your attempt to slurp on your puke, cos those who will open cans of asswhooping on you are not here yet. You should focus on your state governor. You are squatters in Lagos. It can never be your home. Your obsession with Lagos is not making you hold your home state responsible. Wake up, you always get soaked whenever you are out on smear Fashola parade. Get over Lagos.

Uyi Iredia: Are you from Lagos ? And why I have every right to be concerned as one born and bred in Lagos. I am concerned about my state, and by extension the country, but the part of Lagos I stay is my home in every meaningful sense of the term. Get used to that.

You sound so much like

Last name A
first name G
Pet name S B
Lives in Atl
I called and left you a message at 2am this morning and you called me back 5 mins later.

Am I right?

Afenifere is a clown of a group no one listens to any more. Though not a Yoruba, it is obvious to any sane political observer in Nigeria that Afenifere died with the death of AD following their ignoble romance with Obasanjo that saw them loose control of the South West and allowed incompetent mofos to draw that region back to the Stone Age.[/quote]

Cos many people have not bought perfumes in a long time. I have not bought perfume in close to two years. Those big bottles last long, and you get free samples of tiny bottles all the time.

Depend on the mood and occasion.
But my all time favorite is Tiffany, followed by treson and Channel no 5 in distant third.
For bedtime/bottle time, you can't go wrong with Channel Christalle.

Who says you can't get drunk and sleep with that person of your chosen today and have your greater half bring in a friend to turn that bed a wild field if it's your birthday.

I really don't know what she is working with to be honest, but one thing I know is, if a girl is not dating or playing, she is hating, and when boys want to play they the look the right way. I for one did not play in high school or college, it's always been one monogamous relationship after another, so I found away to make sure I'm not left in the sun to dry.
