^-- Nothing wrong with that. Technically speaking, he is not an indigene of anywhere in the SW. So why should he take a slot that is reserved in the constitution for indigenes?

Practically speaking of course, he is essentially Yoruba. He even went to this somewhat famous secondary school in Ado-Ekiti that has also produced lots of great Nigerians 

But that doesn't mean he should take a slot reserved constitutionally for someone else.

I don't like Tinubu as a person.

But I like his  strategic dexterity and  political wizardry with which he dusted and frustrated Heavyweights like a 3 times President Obj, a disgraced Police Henchman Akala, A former Vice President/ Custom Boss Atiku, 3 times Governor/ Military Administrator/Minister Agagu, 3 Times Governor/MILAD Oyinlola, 2 times Senator/Gov Hopeful/Murderer Omisore, Mr-Fix-It/Old stubborn Man Tony Anenih etc etc

But why are you s/w people keep treating edo people like these

his name is shegu aganga for me his Yoruba as someone said if yoruba blood flows in your veins that means you are a true son yoruba,why denying them?

Fashola is not a product of Tinubu. Fashola is a product of ACN. Obanikoro and co are not to replace fashola when Jimi is there.

Funny girl, when last have you lived in Lagos and I am not talking about holiday

Ose egbon mi. The best quote so far
I am glad south-westerners are waking up to the reality on ground. We the people on ground most especially in lagos will/would never allow Tinubu to be our leader. I don't care if he is Ekiti, Osun, Oyo, Ogun etc allow him to be their leader but Lagos it is a "no no" situation. If other south-western states are happy with Tinubu, then by all mean let him rule them but Lagos he can not rule. ACN stands in lagos now because of Gov.Fashola who majority of us love. Even fashola is not doing enough for the money he collects from the states. Between Fashola and Tinubu 2 trillion Naira has gone down unaccounted for with in 1999 to 2011. Tinubu borrowed 150 million dollars in the name of Lagos state during his tenure. He planned to build a railway project in the state with this money which as of today Fashola has also borrowed a similar amount in the name of this project. Eko Atlantic is not Fashola's doing but banks donated money in other to pay back in good will to the state. Fashola has nothing to do with eko atlantic.

So the question. What has Fashola and Tinubu done for the state which happens to be the commercial capital of Africa.

Dapo my brother, Please do not be deceived with what some fake south-westerners are saying here majority of them are only looking for what they would gain(money) from Tinubu. As I speak now Tinubu is not loved in Lagos at all !!!!. Do not let like of Eko/Iragbji ile deceive you. You need to come to Lagos to know what is happening on ground. You would be disappointed.

Ystranger:

You are an ediot. You want to give tinubu all the credit?

Well, maybe we should give Adesanya and Ogunlewe credit for Tinubs's 'achievements' including Fashola, since they falsified the results that paved way for Tinubu's emergence, after Funsho Williams had already been declared winner. After all, Tinubu isnt the un-moved mover. Something/people preceded Tinubu's emergence.

So lets think with our head okay. Fashola gets credit for his achievements.

When Tinubu was there, what did he do, besides sending thugs to harass his adversaries

So Tinubu supported Lagos state with his personal money when OBJ starved it of funds? He took part of his drug money to pay salaries?

He repaired roads with money from his Swiss account?

You are really dumb.

First of all, OBJ did not starve Lagos of money they way you portrayed it. The money we are talking about is mere N10 Billion meant for the new LGs Tinubu created.

A copy of the case report is here:

http://www.nigeria-law.org/Attorney-General%20of%20Lagos%20State%20V%20Attorney-General%20of%20the%20Federation.htm


So simply put, the money was meant for the new LGS, and OBJ still gave Lagos the money that was meant for it if the LGs had not been created.

And, even if your erroneous post was true, which isnt, this is how Lagos survived:

1) The money was supposed to be extra money accruing to the State Government. It isnt money that was deducted from what the State was earning in the past. Tinubu, media savvy as he is, blew the case out of proportion for effect.

2) At that point, Lagos was already earning more money, mostly from corporate tax that hitherto had not been collected. Simply stated, Tinubu at that point was already following Jimoh Ibrahim's play book, making sure that state taxes from companies were collected as at when due.


So lets use our head when posting Ok. Ki gbogbo sorosoro ma ranti eni to mo'o gbo

It will be hard to forget how throughout his eight years in Abuja, president Obasanjo completely neglected the south-west in terms of key projects and infrastructure. Lagos - Ibadan Expressway, considered as the flagship highway in the southwest became so deplorable that hardly would a day pass without ghastly accidents that claimed lives. Even the road leading to his Otta settlement was neglected. And then there was his defiance of a clear court order to release local government funds he had withheld from Lagos State over disagreements with the state's decision to create new local government units. If nothing else, these drew enough animosity from his kinsmen. As if that was not enough, Chief Bola Ige, a prominent Yoruba leader and Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) was murdered in broad daylight with government complicity. Till date the killers have not been found

"THE DECEMBER 10, 2004 SUPREME COURT JUDGEMENT



There were two major aspects of the Supreme Court judgment made on December 10, 2004 in respect of the suit filed by the Lagos state government:



1. The Supreme Court held that the federal government had no right whatsoever to withhold allocations meant for local councils in Lagos state or any other state for that matter under the relevant provisions of 1999 constitution of Federal Republic of Nigeria.



2. The Supreme Court also held that the 57 local councils purportedly created by the Lagos state government are "inchoate", that is, inconclusive because specifically, the national assembly has not passed a consequential act as provided by section 8(5) of the 1999 constitution and that for this reason, this purported councils are not entitled to and should not be funded with public money.

Are you kidding me? There wont be a Fashola without Tinubu. Tinubu imposed fashola on every aspirant and till today fashola is still Loyal to the kingmaker of Bourdillon.

Why I don't like Tinubu as a Person
My personal reason is that I have supervised a Lagos State Project under Fashola's First term in office.
The unforgiveably Non-performing Contractor got the huge Contract on the caprices of Tinubu.
I had several confrontations regarding the laxity with which he attended to the project.
Because of this, the Government agency under which the Contract was awarded got a query and my MD gave me scolding of my life.
I later resigned from that company due to this.
Till now the work is FAR from being done.
Me am cooling off in my new job flying like bird over 9ja with much time to waste on Nairaland.

I don't subscribe to tales and rumors, give us credible facts to base our judgments on, not your made up stories.

Sebi you were in the middle of the whole contract thing? What about stating the exact project, what it was for, the name of the contractor that scored the project, if the project still exist and where, was it completed or not.

Also, with your stated personal knowledge, in what way was Tinubu involved? What exactly did he do.

We are not mumu abeg. I ask you to tell us what exactly you do not like about the man, not to make up 419 stories.

I didnt beg anybody to believe me.

This was what I experienced personally.

He has a great tendencies to settle political supporters with Contracts that are very critical to people. You don't play politics with what can make hundreds of people to die.
I'm an insider in this case plssssssss.

Tinubu is a great politician, but fashola is by far a people-oriented person. Take it or leave it.
