It's an amazing country. How some people blindly still support it (the government), I don't know.

what did you do? @B.O.S.S roflmao!!

The gov was trying to dodge so many of my questions so I kept pestering them and that was why they posted that response. 

You're welcome Reese1 but I doubt the Q & A thing would happen that often because it's just a trial and error thing on the gov's path and to be honest, I think it'sbeen a success as far as I could say as he didn't really get hit with most of our bombshells.

Reuben Abati s yet to clear the air and it's been 4months since these allegations have been levied against him. Before he addresses the issue of corruption anywhere, he needs to clarify the one dangling on hishead. Ignoring it like someone wrote earlier on this page might not be enough sir. It's even more important to let the whole world know if you bought the land with your own sweat.

You would have lost your moral right to comment on anything in this land if you were indeed as corrupt as others you like to write about. Let's hear it from you whether or not you are being accused wrongly Dr. Abati.

All in all though, I think I could trust this guy. I think he's honest.

I've nnot been ableto properly read through the questions due to my service to humanity (Nairality), I'll go through now and see if I could predict the gov.
hahahaha

Kobojunkie:

you are the one to talk. I have been awake since 5 am looking to get my questions answered.

BOO HOO!!! Now I sit and contemplate what to do next with my day !! Boohoo hoo!!

Awwww, what a shame,

They posted the question (that was why I said courtesy you (must_a_phar) in bracket but I guess "His Excellency" dodged it. However, they sais they'll still answer all these unanswered questions and probably publish it publicly, somehow.

admin: THE GOVERNOR IS TAKING QUESTIONS FROM THE PANEL MEMBERS

admin: he is talkign about micro credit programmesm and the need to generate more jobs as tehre are people looking for work where none exists

admin: WE ARE HOPING HE WILL TAKE MORE QUESTIONS FROM THE CHATROOM BUT CAN'T GARUNTEE PLEASE POST YOUR QUESTION

Kobojunkie: Millions of children/adults are in need of education and skills training. That is the only way I see us ending this culture of having expatriates coming in to do jobs that should ordinarily go to people in the community.

Kobojunkie: And when I say training for adults, I mean training to get them adequately able to compete with their counterparts from other countries around the globe.

B.O.S.S.: How about the prison service. Would you please look into that as well as this is a shame on the Nigerian human right (though I know you're just the LagosState Governor)

TextCast: THANKS AGAIN EVERYONE

Kobojunkie: On the issue of security and CCTV in Lagos, I am still not convinced how, with the current situation that exists in the police force, how CCTV is the solution to the problem. The police force is not only inadequately trained but not adequately compensated. How does installing CCTV help improve security when we have yet to train our forces on what it means to serve as policemen in society?  Technol

YUSSUF: pls your excellency,we the residents of festac town need you to help rehabilitate our roads

B.O.S.S.: Could Fashola say hand to heart, I've changed the standard of living of Lagosians? - Prove it!!!

@ SkyBlue - there's no live video streaming. We just base it ll on trust to the gov. It's based on the hunches and feelings of the person asking the question. LOL

admin: THE GOVERNOR IS TAKING QUESTIONS FROM THE PANEL MEMBERS

Sky Blue:

How do you know he has been asked the questions in the first place? LOL.

Responses seem to have stopped coming

You've answered that for me.

Jan: Hello your Excellency, the clothing industry is a viable industry which also has verious spin-offs interms of generating employment for our youth, is it possible to ask such global leading stores to establish their presence within the Lagos Free Trade Zone so that our local fashion designers can have access to training and also be able to design for these global clothing stores?

Jan: I ask this question cos it will place upcoming young designers on an international platform comparable to what is obtainable in South Africa right now

My Question (courtesy must_a_far) : where is my house of assembly rep in lagos. this is the first bill we want in the lagos house in 2009.
I also asked the question about the Kosofe School students sitting on the floor

KRISS: Fashola, when you look around lagos and its environ, u will get to see alot of uniformed person either stopping okada, taxi, buses and the rest, wut can be done to harmonise these people and thereby have a means of collecting the so called levy they are collecting publicly?

B.O.S.S.: My friend told me they have to transport their bin from the boot of their car (in Gbagada) to Lagos Island where it gets emptied. What could you say about this?

[b]Dude is dodging questions[/b]

KRISS: How do u intend to checkmate the menace of the Area boys some of which have gotten uniform, is that a recognition of their entity ?

They are filtering the questions hence not all questions are getting through to the gov himself howver they keep requesting for more questions, This is like JAMB.

TextCast: JUST WANTED TO ADD SOMETHING THAT HIS EXCELLENCY SAID ABOUT THE CCTV CAMERAS THAT I DIDN'T GET TIME TO TYPE

TextCast: Falola: We thank you for rehabilitating the roads in Yaba especially for the quality of jobs. But the contrctors have no respect for the people of this area. 1st it is taking them too long and they block acess roads to places in Yaba and Ebute-Metta without any respect, warning or time frame and it causes a lot of discomfort. We  enjoin the governor to do something about it

Kobojunkie: I don’t believe the “We” approach is going to fix the system if the government is not willing to work at changing the situation ASAP. What do you intend to do in the area of Education in Lagos this year, and can we hold you to it?
NICE ONE - TEL EM KOBO -

Kobojunkie: The Freedom of Information Bill has been stalled for years in the National house but, I don’t believe that there is anything in the Lagos State Constitution that prohibits Lagos from enacting a Freedom of Information law at the State Level. A Bill like this will go a long way in checking corruption in the state, long before you are gone as governor. You speak of a democracy, but are you willing to
