davo3286: Fashola is saying trash, in my opinion, and should quit saying it. Since when has 'we' become 'I'!? Those involved in the fight to ensure Ebola didn't escalate are Nigerians and did it selflessly for love of job and country. So, I don't think it is out of place for any one who to say we conquered Ebola (even though he wasn't directly involved) to mean that he is taking the credit to himself. When GEJ addressed the UN few days ago about Ebola he didn't say 'I conquered...' But 'we conquered...' So did the minister of health when he addressed the press. Because which ever which way you look at it, we all contributed to the success. I think what Fashola is trying to say, indirectly, is that the credit should go to him and not GEJ. Period! So, let him come out in black and white and say it instead of trying to argue about who should and shouldn't be credited

Had it been Lagosians and indeed Nigerians were careless and didn't follow the laid down precautionary steps to forestall the spread, do you think Fashola and his Lagos would have been able to contain it? The answer is 'No', and Fashola won't be saying this gibberish. Had it been the FG didn't swing into action to assist financially, materially and otherwise, what do you think would have happened? If Fashola knew his government could single handedly fight the disease why then was he making so much noise about not haven gotten Ebola funds from FG? Why did he eventually take the money from the FG? It's not about Lagos alone...it's about Nigeria and Nigerians fought and conquered Ebola. In a nutshell, therefore, credit goes to Nigeria, ultimately, because was a collective effort and nobody was a super star. So, Fashola, please keep quiet!

Rilamaka:

Why are you talking like a little child? So you want to tell me that in all honesty, that the election was not rigged?

And that you are blissfully ignorant of the fact that the only free and fair election held was in 2011?

Why would you stoop so low because of tribal hatred and sentiments? Or degrade your knowledge? Or are you really that ignorant?

taharqa: Fashola shld keep his fucckin mouth SHUT. WTH!!! I kinda like Fash but I just find frivilous peeps disgusting! If d ebola outbreak had become an epidermic, wud Fash not hv been amongst d loudmouths callin Jona's name and askin for his head. Wait! Weren't dis same Fash and Co already blamin him for 'allowin' Sawyer tru d 'national' airport wen they thought it might get outa hand.... Who provided the facilities and personnels at d National Disease Control Centre, d very body in charge of coordinating the onslaught against ebola? Who provided d framework for d tracing of suspected 'contact' persons? Who servd as d link bw critical international bodies like d CDC, World bank and Doctorswithoutborders? Who provided continuous and effective screening at our Airports, Seaports and border crossings? Who provided d protective gears, drugs and oda equipments to most states centres across d country? Who coordinated Info dissemination during d period, a very critical part of disease control anywhere? Who fucckin gave both Lagos and Rivers state #200m each to fight d disease? Who in their read senses wud even questn d central role of a national Govt in any sort of disease control sef??

lakpalakpa: It will be very unfair and a great loss to Nigerians if Fashola doesn't rule as President. He shows in very clear terms how well he understands the basics of good governance.

Eko ONI baje oooo!!!!

davo3286: [/b]

@ the bolded. And who said credit was not given to them?

Mbediogu: I see Fashola as a reincarnation of Awo - good enough for his people but not half as good for the nation. He must remain the examplary tribal leader that God destined him to be.
Awo is a major contributor to mess Nigeria is now. I love and adore Awo and Fashola for what they have done for their people. On a national scale, put Fasola beside Gej and you will find that Fashola is a midget.

ROCKJ1: Lagos state tried, the federal ministry of health also tried. It's a collective effort. The most important thing is that Ebola is gone.

Acidosis:
Lol only a scum bag like Fashola

He expects the president to mention all the names of health workers including the cleaner, the cooks and gate men in his speech.

I want to believe the Governor also mention the names of Julius Berger ceos and engineers each time they build a good road.


Hate can kill - thats my independent message to Fash.

Who let Ebola into Nigeria and exposed us to Ebola?

Who to Nigerians that Nigeria was ready for ebola with vaccines?

The same scumbags claiming credit for what they didn't do...

FastShipping:

Are you satisfied with what we've got from PDP since 1999 at the national level?

Akainzo:


You are quite deluded!

So to you, the reason Ojukwu lost in ALL South East and South South states to a Northerner was because the elections was rigged by a South Easterner for the Northerner. And all the South East and South South faithfuls sat meekly and celebrated the election of Yaradua? Your lack grown ass reasoning is even worse than that of a child.

And to top it all, you believed that the 2011 elections was not rigged even with the South East and South South returning a >97% voter turn out! That must be the joke of the century.

Sincere9gerian: Very petty state governor with his petty attack dogs.

The Americans only few days ago recorded the first case of ebola diagnosed on American soil. The debate in that country is not about who should take credit and for what but it is centred on what they COULD HAVE DONE DIFFERENTLY FOR A BETTER OUTCOME. It is about why the healthcare system didn't suspect ebola and isolate the index case on the first day of presentation rather than on the second day.
Africans have a long way to go.

Josh316: Sometimes, when people try hard to politicize peoples efforts they end up sounding silly.

The National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), is it run by Fashola or the LASG? Is this NOT an FG agency of the Federal Ministry of Health?

Is LUTH suddenly a Lagos state owned hospital? Is this not a Federal Government Owned Hospital?

The truth is that NO POLITICIAN should claim credit for anything and try to discredit the other. What Fashola has said is just to score some political points, which is sad to say the least.

Demdem: Fashola spoke exceedingly well. Jonaadaft was just being foolish and insensitive.

FastShipping: Well said Governor............

It is a disgrace for anyone (Jonathan and PDP faithfuls) to claim credit for the success against the spread of Ebola in Nigeria. Ebola came to Lagos and was curtailed in Lagos. Good job by the Governor, commissioner for Health in Lagos and the medical team in Lagos.
