MrTeymee:

Well, I wasn't aware of that buh wat I know is d lcda swindled our money here. We dunno hw dey did it buh dey did....

If true residents in your area should file a complaint against your LCDA chairman and never allow such people contest any election again.

I have never commented in politics section but I will comment on this.

fashola is overrated. he came into power, did some little things and used the media to hype it all, after that he did nothing again, he simple embezzled d huge sum of money at his disposal especially during his second term. this man has taught many lagosians a lesson. unfortunately, some ignorant people are still being fooled.

poiZon:

hw is akwa ibom richer than lagos, can u explain?

so many lil dudes in d haus.

lagos former federal capital territory of nigeria for more than 5decades, housing more than 2ports, 2 airports, almost all multinati8nals hqtrs even exxon mobil, etc. u can add d rest.

With all the exon crap you listed, what states work with at the end of the day after putting their taxes and allocation together is their yearly budgets.

Akwa Ibom's yearly Budgets are larger than Lagos state's budget by at least N100 billion.

In 2013 Lagos state's total IGR/year is 240 billion and fed allocation is 168 billion = 408 billion

The budget for 2013 is 497 billion.

It means Lagos state still with 20 million people have to look elsewhere to make up the difference to get to the 489 billion budget...

Akwa Iboms budget for the same year was 469 billion + 70 billion supplemental = 539 billion


497 billion and 539 billion, please tell us who is richer and should be able to commission projects everyday?

Why is Fashola with less money than Akwa Ibom commissioning projects everyday while Akwa Ibom doesn't? Have you asked yourself the above question?

It's common sense and self explanatory, but you people for some weird reason just play dumb and clueless..

from D perspective of Lagos IGR and d debt of State.. Fash score 20/100 .Fashola is not a saint... is also a polithiefcian.. APC&PDP are d same but d diff is just logo.. Tinubu stealing since 1999.

We'ell take you people seriously when you are able to show us anything similar by any other government in Nigeria and even in the history of Nigeria.

Luckily for Lagosians and Fashola, we have recorded proof in brilliant colors that lies and self induced ignorance can not eradicate...

Arch1:
I am not a tribal bigoy neither am i trying to derail the thread.

Just tell us about Taraba state. Taraba is a PDP state. Tell us what the PDP Governor of Taraba is doing. We'v heard enough of Lagos tell us about Taraba

if you wish to discuss the feats of pdp governors in other states, then make your own goddamn thread. we are here to discuss fashola.

Fashola is slightly better than tinubu, but with d kind of revenue at his disposal a smarter money man would do wonderous and mouth watering things unfortunately Fashola a smart 419 lawyer has only succeded in duping lagosians in his second term.

chronique:
Well said. When they talk about development in Lagos,they keep showing us Ikoyi and Lekki. There are several places in Lagos that hasn't changed one bit in Fashola's 8 yrs. Sometimes,I park my car at the office and walk home because the road to my house is terribly bad. Driving through it would only destroy the vehicle. It's only when I'm using an SUV,that I can drive to and fro work regularly.

In as much as I would have love just reading comments,i believe we all should let the public know if or not any impact from the present government is felt. I can categorically say that we have well constructed roads right here in Ifako Ijaye LG of Lagos done by this present administration. SO for those claiming mainland is yet to feel the present administration impact,i will encourage you to do proper research before spilling lies on public sites like this.

The story makes it seems Fashola has been generating 400 billion annual IGR from 2007. Truth is, it has been an annual growth. 185 billion in 2010, 202 billion in 2011, 219 billion in 2012 and 384.26bn in 2013 - a testament to an improved Lagos business environment and visionary leadership of Tunde Fashola.

The article also talks about replicating Dubai in Lagos. Dubai has an annual budget of $12 billion and debt of $60 billion with a population of 2 million. Compare that to Lagos with an annual budget of $2 billion, debt of $2 billion and population of 18 million and you will see the foolishness in the comparison. There is no way Lagos on its own can be a Dubai in 8 years with the level of funds available to it - yet Fashola has delivered and built institutions with what he has.

The writer talks about LASU and forgets that qualitative education will lift people out of poverty faster than quantitative education. The students of LASU demanded for £100 University school fees and it is not visible with the vision Lagos state sees for its school. I won'tbe surprised that the writer is one of those who pays over 2 million naira annually for his kids foreign education. I do not support Fashola for taking the fees down!

Regarding the bridge, I'm not an expert on bridge cost. However, I have passed that bridge and I give kudos to him for building the bridge. I guess it won't be rocket science to find comparative figures for bridges. If he built the ramp with 2 billion, it shows consistency if the Ikoyi bridge costs 27 billion.

What is hypocritical about questioning the reasoning of electing a man with corruption and murder case over his head? Is it hypocritical to be baffled why people will vote for stomach infrastructure over development projects?

This article is hogwash and it's amazing how the TANoids have jumped all over this thread in celebration. The achievements of Fashola in 8 years of governorship cannot be destroyed by ill thought articles. Fashola is not a saint. The media's story about him is no hype. He is a leader far ahead of the crop of PDP leaders in government including the president. The article strove for a balanced view by starting with some of his accomplishments but ended showing it wasn't written by an objective writer.

luvinhubby:
Interesting.
The hypocrisy & lies of Fashola's 8yrs regime in Lagos stinks to the high heavens. The other day, he said $1 billion borrowed from world bank was spent on street lights from Jibowu to Iddo....imagine!
Private schools are springing up daily in Lagos due to inadequate schooling structures in.Lagos.
$3 billion per year as income to Lagos yet no new schools, no new hospitals, commercialised public infrastructures, commercialised waste disposals, burnt low income markets rebuilt for elitist owners only.
Fashola & his oga Tinubu are the most clever crooks in the history of this country.

I LL PREFER WE HAVE MORE OF PRIVATE INSTITUTIONS .... BASIC INFRASTRUCTURES RUN BY THE GOVT DONT WORK IN NAIJA.

To my fellow Nairalander who argue without facts and only are champions in insulting and calling other people who have critically made good analysis very debasing names my response remains that you all should drop sentiments, travel a lot to see things first hand and lastly get wise.

1 I am a non partisan Nigerian and support no party

2 I don think party developes or gives good governance, I think it is the individual who is in a poistion of authority

3.Tinubu did not do much to fix Lagos as he was only interested chiefly in consolidating the stronghold of Alliance for Democray (AD) on the largest city with a symbol of developement to the yoruba Race from Obasanjo led PDP. It was Politics of Ego that Tinubu played and held Lagos.

4. Tinubu might not have achieved anything but he is to a great extent a succesful politician.
Now as AC later ACN and Now APC the party has made more inroads into the nation by embarking on Populist Agenda and Development which Tinubu hadn't time to embark on, The BRT was Tinubu's Brain child for example.

5 Yes Brother with all the Billions coming into Akwa Ibom, Hunger, prostitution, kidnapping, menial jobs and other demeaning jobs haven't left the Akwa ibomites. They are allover, Port Harcourt, Aba, Calabar, Umuahia, Lagos and so on and few of them live well.

6 My observations aren't based on hearsay.

7 I really see those who can't argue without insulting or calling names as immature and they need to grow up.

The intelligent ones have so far read and understood the angle I was coming from and it doesn't make me not to be at some point wrong in my view which makes me stand to be corrected anytime.

Luckily for Lagosians and Fashola, we have recorded proof in brilliant colors that lies and self induced ignorance can not eradicate...

when I made my point I never intended to follow it up cos I know it'll lead to a never-ending argument just like I've been warned.

I state again that yes, fashola did a few good things but he skillfully used the media to overhype these few deeds in such a way that it almost covers up all the embezzlement he has done. most people don't know about the funds he has access to so they believe he has done so much. all his media hyping is just a cover up. if u notice from his deeds he doesn't seem to care for the common man at all.

finally, just to make it clear, I'm not into any party, I don't care what party he belongs to, but I see myself as not among d ignorant.

dridowu:
My take : I will agree with point that most house hold don't have access to clean and potable water, i want to believe that the issue of water is not peculiar to Lagos alone, almost all the states i have visited have this problem.
On the issue of lekki-ikoyi link bridge, Lekki toll gate e.t.c i have liittle to say about it because i am not an engineer i have little or no knowledge about it, but anyone that feels their is some underground tone about it should make use FOI to dig it out.
LASU: Wow, what can i say than to say Fashola oversurprised me, i can't believe he can increaase school fees to such amount . I know of some that was affected because of the school fees, the guy just have to settle for tailoring and part time course in Yabatech.
Oshodi: This place may have been cleared of hoodlums then but with the current situation in Oshodi right now, it is gradually returning back to is old horrible days.
My last point for now : If paradventure PDP takes over Lagos next year (may God forbid) and they fails to probe Fashola successfully, then i will say Kudos to Fashola for a job well done in Lagos .





Time to sleep

YOU ARE CONFUSING ME, are you having second thought? AS FOR THE foi bill i don't think you know that all the apc states refused to sign the bill! IF NOT DISCONNECTION FROM REALITY WHY WILL A GOVERNMENT THAT REFUSES TO PAY 18K MINIMUM WAGE TO PARENTS IS EXPECTING THE SAME PARENT TO PAY 300K PER ANNUM AS SCHOOL FEES?

I really don't like giving bad mannered people like you,the dignity of a response but I'd post this link to a topic I created sometime around 2013,about this same issue so others can see. Note: the roads have gotten worse than they were,when I took this pics. I don't know what the state of the Ejigbo axis is.

Not everyone is a low-lifer like you;I don't need to tell lies in public. Just take a trip to the afore-mentioned places in the original topic.

No one is saying fash did nothing but with the federal allocation and igr he could do way better than what is on ground, people have the right to good roads, electricity and water these are basic amenities that each government must provide for it's citizens
most state government are below par when compared to what fash is doing in Lagos .If only we can look beyond party affiliation and critically analyze each state government then you will comprehend that each of them have totally failed the people

I can't talk about places I haven't been to;I'd only talk about places I've been to. Anyone who expects me to praise Fashola when my immediate environment looks like a junkyard,needs to go get His or Her head examined.

Okay we'v heard you. Now show us the projects in Taraba state and Kebbi state. Both are PDP states, show us what their PDP governors are doing.

The media attention and criticism on Lagos, Imo, Rivers, Edo and other APC state is getting too much and boring. Tell us about PDP states too. Lets know whats up in Bauchi, Bauchi state is also a PDP state

I BEG YOU TO DISAPPEAR IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING MEANINGFUL TO SAY, YOU'VE BEEN SHOUTING TARABA, BAUCHI FROM THREAD TO THREAD YOU SUPPOSE TO GET TIRED BY NOW, TALKING ABOUT HEAD YOU ARE TALKING TAIL!

Lagos Emerges Africa’s Most Innovative City
The rapid transformation of Lagos metropolis in the last five years has caught global attention, as two renowned international bodies, Citigroup and Urban Land Institute, ranked the metropolis as one of two most innovative cities in Africa. The other city is Cape Town in South Africa.
Citigroup and Urban Land Institute, which assess cities worldwide in terms of sustainability and livability, ranked Lagos and Cape Town the most innovative cities in Africa in the list of the world’s 25 most innovative cities.

Those pics aint different (even some are worse) from what i saw within ijegun/abaranje axis few weeks ago. And some people on nl will expect everyone to hail fashola.

poiZon:

what u mean is that once u enter lagos,u automatically becomes fashola responsibility. fashola feeds n clothe u, he pays ur rent n when u are sick the fash govt take care of ur medical needs, adonbilivit. bros abeg stop exagerating the population of lagos state, the last we heard kano is more populated than that small city. uyo is even bigger than lagos interms of landmass. stop crying for these thievery politicians abi fashola na ur papa?

No! Fashola doesn't feed them but they make use of the roads, schools, hospitals, state institutions, environment etc hence they stretch the infrastructures.

Don't mind them. They expect everyone to support blindly even when there are overwhelming evidences that Fashola hasn't done well in some places.

Dubai with 2million people owes over $80b and was bailed out by Abu Dhabi only a few years back. Lagos with 20m people owes $3.8b. If Lagos was as spendthrift as Dubai, it should be owing $800b. Lagos has been prudent. Dont believe the Dubai hype!

Are roads the only thing government should do? I listed some projects in Alimosho earlier that will benefit the masses but you dodged it. Now read, Fashola builds Alimosho road, Tijani street, Oyewole, street, Kola Ogunjale street, Ishajimi street, Ekoro road, Oyewole road, Moshalashi- Egbeda road etc
