Bigotry apart, how did u arrive at that conclusion. The fact that Fashola is over-hyped does not mean other's should believe it. The matter of good and better governor is subjective. So please let's stop the Fashola is better, fashola is best. It never helped the BB ticket, neither will it help fashola.

@jason123
really govs in the SS are really not disappointing,go to akwa ibom see transformation,rivers state have got the best puclic school system in nigeria,cross river leads in tourism,with calabar being the cleanest and most organised state capitals,edo,delta and bayelsa are also performing,only they are nt very much into publicity but like i earlier said it is their job and they are nt doing us a favour

Poverty will remain the middle name of 80% of Nigerians, but the elite section of Lagos State will continue to be attractive and unaffordable (I guess, that's enough for some of us to praise Gov Fashola and call him the greatest governor ever).

And your thieving, "Enemies of Progress" Ibo Governors woulda been hailed as reformists and progressives, right?

Man, fxcuk outta here!

Beaf:

As far as performance is concerned Fashola, Chime, Lamido and Amaechi are in the same class, but Akpabio is better than all. However, Fashola stands head and shoulders above the lot in PR. Lagos states PR is bloody good. Its one hell of an oiled machine, like sinewed sportsman, glistening with potence.

You this Akata G'ay eediot, what is your issue with Nigerians? You sniff coke, Poke latino minors and come here to pour out your frustration?
Today, you'll insult Nigerians, tomorrow, you'll claim Yorooba. You are a F'oolish, red head, akata wondering d'ick juice seeking piece of rag from a land of brainless eediots. Go watch mac and me, you'll see where your alien parents are from.
Stay off Nigerian issues, you have no business init. No let me face you, because you'll end up shitting in your pant as usual. G'ay Fo'ol without bounds.

^^^^ No offense but seriously u need to tone it down.

You asked for pictures, and he replied if it was by pictures, ibori won and you're here justifying the picture? Seriously?

Oh well, me think it's really not that serious for u to tell someone they have effed u values because they simply do not agree with you.

@OP: Fashola is the best administrator in naija, period. Governors and president included.

However, part of this is just because the competition isn't doing as well as they should. People aren't used to good government, so they become surprised when they get it.

BTW, for those claiming it is purely media hype. . . well then the hype machine has done an excellent job of bamboozling the following organizations:
1) Ambassadors (Read what the US ambassador wrote about him on Huffington Post, for example.)
2) foreign investors
3) international media
4) Other nigerian governors
5) The credit rating agency that rates Lagos State's credit as strong as that of Nigeria's

All sentiments aside, we know who is performing the best. Just some for various reasons will refuse to admit it.

@Justcash: I disagree. The hype wouldn't be there if what he were doing were common in Africa.

Frankly speaking, it is not. So relative to the governance most are able to obtain on this continent, he is doing "extraordinarily" well.

Now, how does he stack up against say Western administrators?

He'd probably be well above average even compared to US governors. I'd certainly take him over Arnold Schwarzenegger of California, for example. That guy didn't really do a good job, imo

Please don't start brother, compared tows who exactly? Is it that he did not do the job or a good job? Keep in mind that California being the one of the top 5 economic dependent states in the U.S. and financially bankrupt, please let me know exactly what he could have done and done well. It's only someone who doesn't know CA that will criticize them, I hope you're from CA and know what you talking about. CA and Lagos are no MATCH at all; population, economic wise et.al

manny4life:

Hmmm


Fashola has done a great job; however, I think he's over hyped but hey if he deserves it, then he does. What many governors need to  start doing is generating income for their states. Many states have so many potential that they could harness from.


How much does Cross river generate from tourism-under Liyel Imoke? we know how much Lagos generates under fashola, we are comparing governors right not only states
a state with 3million residents- shouldn't be too difficult to keep clean

Good things attracts investors and publicity

You rarely hear of people moving to Bayelsa cross river for job opportunities, why do you think this is?

A state of 18million people as well given the resources shouldn't be a feat to clean either. Rivers have made $2billion like Lagos did already because the Govt simply doesn't know to harness their resources to attract revenues. Good things attract investors but you have to work at finding those investors before what u have attract them; they just don't know it's there. Many states have a long way to go to generate revenues aggressively like Lagos does and that will help them in the long run.
