Kobojunkie:

No, that is not what he is saying.

Take a lesson from Americans. Many of those who LOVE OBAMA, and already plan to vote him back in office in November, readily admit that he is doing good but there is still a whole lot of improvement needed, and a lot of misses too. And they can go at length with you on these. This is why I admire a lot of them.
Even the celebrities(I know we like to think that many of them are out of the touch when it comes to the concerns of the average man), they are educated on the issues enough to give you details on what Obama has done wrong, and what is he still doing wrong and where he needs to change but at the end of the day, they are still wearing there "Vote Obama" teeshirts. And this applies to the ordinary Americans out there too. They criticize even those they support, OPENLY too, and would readily jump boats if their choice decides to take them, or Americans, for granted. They are not puppets. They are intelligent beings who are do not have their tongues stuck to the arse of politicians.

These are the kind of people Nigeria needs. We don't need puppets for the Politicians or arse-lickers. We need real Nigerians, not afraid to criticize even when they choose to stand.

bayooooooo: In as much as I detest looking to the West for validation (what's good is good irrespective of the source), I rate the performance of Fasola as excellent. He is a good administrator and equally good at managing the unquenchable appetite of political jobbers hanging on his neck. He is one of the reasons why all hope is not yet lost for Nigeria.

mbhs139:

I agree with you totally. But mind your use of language next time.

all4naija: Is anybody against BRT or just the quality of works done around the project? Like the roads, the bus stop and the surroundings of the entire Lagos state.

Please, let not allow sentiment to becloud what we can do better and accept less. We can be as good in development as any other developed nations. Some third world countries are doing it clean and better. So, why can we do the same?

Katsumoto:

Your post ignores a few things

1. The effect of extensive migration on scarce resources. A project may have been commissioned to cater for 100 people but by the time it is finished, 150 are using it leading to significant deterioration.

2. Resources are scarce and many infrastructure have been left to rot for many years. If a new administrator focuses on a few of many, he/she will be seen as a failure. However, if he/she tries to use scarce funds on many projects, the likelihood is that the end project will not be top notch. But you can at least put it in a state that makes the job easier for the next administrator. Its simply a case of lose either way.

Expecting Lagos to look like Dubai when Lagos has 5% of Dubai's budget and 1000% of its population is asking too much. Just my opinion.

Kobojunkie:

Get over your idiocy already . . . your arguments on that thread made no sense. And yes, I get it, according to you, sending email, even to the IRS online, to receive information is PAID Access.

Akanbi_edu:

These things are generally relative. Before you judge, you need to ask how was Lagos before and how is it now? What are the resources available to Lagos, what are the challengesetc?

What you are comparing are not the same in the real sense of it. Just like counting numbers, a man that counts from -20 to zero(0) has done more than the other that counts from 0 to 10. Yet if you compare 10 to 0, 10 is definitely bigger. So it is largely unfair and unreasonable to compare Lagos now, to those places without considering other factors like the budgets, the population and even the rate of increase in the population.

Akanbi_edu: It is regrettable that kobokobo(a m-o-r-o-nic fence sitter like that) is actually trying to liken defending Fashola( A man with known achievements) to defending GEJ (A man of no known achievement with uncountable broken promises). How can you even compare death to sleep?

This is the problem with neutralists, they generally don't understand.

Kobojunkie: See reasons . .. . excuses .. . insults flying . . ..

same elements you find on your typical Goodluck Jonathan thread . .. same tactics used by the Goodluck Jonathan jobbers. Na wa ooo!!!

afam4eva:
If you rate Fashola's administration as excellent then it means we don't have hope as a nation. Let's be careful with the kind of words we use.

Kobojunkie:

See what I mean . . . The same tactics

EVen T.A Orji don join their ranks . . .

Akanbi_edu:

Kobokobo, now that you got the foreign link to this piece of news, what is your opinion about the topic "Lagos Mass Transit Model Good For Africa - US"?

Kobojunkie: ** digging into the box of tricks that I know these political jobbers are known to use ****

I see the "ONLY CRITICIZE IF YOU ARE WILLING TO PROFFER SOLUTIONS" line coming next . . . and the trick is if you DARE to engage, you will be told your solution is foolish . . . even though the whole exercise is meaningless at the end of the day since the Government doesn't really come to Nairaland for SOLUTIONS . . . ROFLMAO!!

bayooooooo:

It's called constructive criticism.

You don't just label a government failure because your instincts ask you to do so. You base your judgement on facts and tangibles that are independently verifiable. If you can't fault what a fellow has done and you can't proffer a better alternative, there is no basis for criticism.

all4naija: Every country know what neatness means,and better works stand for. Indeed, there is no excuse to do a great job as the BRT and left the areas looking shabby and making the whole work looks poorly done.

Look,really a neat job can make a difference in all of these projects going on in Lagos state. It is a simple secret to all the hard-works he has been doing.

Akanbi_edu: Rewind,
If you have nothing to contribute, GET THE F=U-CK OUT OF THIS THREAD FOREVER.

Kobojunkie:

So you assume you are talking to someone who does not know what the phrase "Constructive criticism" means right?

Sorry, but it has nothing to do with PROFERRING BRAINLESS SOLUTIONS . .. that one is wholly a silly exercise that many Nigerians like to engage in to, I don't know, convince themselves that they contribute to development by doing so.

bayooooooo:

Tell me what do you think Fasola should have done better or in a different way?

afam4eva:
It's not about what he should have done differentely but about what he has not done. Do you know how many bad roads there are in Lagos? What about execiting people oriented projects? If were to rate Fashola on a scale of 100, I'll give hime 60%. Mind you I'm judging him based on Nigerian standard. Btw, it seems you don't live in Nigeria because I find it rather preposterous for anyone to score him excellend except the person is an ACN member. Are you?

all4naija: No! You're missing the point. Doing a good work is not going to look like counting-numbers analogy. Every country know what neatness means,and better works stand for. Indeed, there is no excuse to do a great job as the BRT and left the areas looking shabby and making the whole work looks poorly done.

Look,really a neat job can make a difference in all of these projects going on in Lagos state. It is a simple secret to all the hard-works he has been doing.

bayooooooo:

I am not an ACN member but if I were to join party politics in Nigeria today, I would not hesitate to join ACN.

But I know all roads in Lagos are not state roads. In fact, many strategic Federal roads in Lagos for instance Oshodi-Apapa express way among others are in a deplorable condition and Fasola can not take blame for such. So when we ask "Do you know how many bad roads there are in Lagos?", we should put it in right perspective. Besides, I don't expect one administration to fix all the bad roads in Lagos before the term excellent can be given to such a government.

When you said exciting people oriented projects? What exactly does that meant? If a project is useful to the generality of Lagosians and can help reduce a burden, that to me is exciting.

Take a closer look at the extreme top right-hand corner of the image where there are people walking on the poor pavement. Jeez! Nigerians are good with incomplete work. It is annoying though!

TheShopKeeper: With all the hatred towards the Fashola administration, how many of the other state governors' during their first term did what Fashola managed to achieve within a short period of time with regards to the transportation system in Lagos.
We know how bad it was before the BRT system and at least it is working, although not perfect, but we will get there some day.

afam4eva:
I'm sure this your statement was produced out of ignorance. Now, i ask you. How many states in Nigeria have you visited in Nigeria? Do you know that Enugu state had a similar transport system as at the time Lagos launched theirs but you won't know because you don't travel round the country, so your statements will be laced with ignorance.
