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...

Aderostock:

Apart from Oil companies, name other manufacturing industries or Service- oriented companies in Akwa Ibom.

Lanrefreshkid:

you are telling me he his being hyped cos you want him to transform Lagos to Dubia...Ok

spankyflex:
will advise if you've never been to a place stop spraying lies from hearsay;how on earth will 98.5% of the population be in abject poverty in a state like akwa ibom?

Aderostock:

I didn't say that. Now tell us or list those companies I asked you since you have been to Akwa Ibom before. Afterall, World is a Global village

Aderostock:

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

Baddestguyp:
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.

nigerianvenom:
people are blinded by the fact that they rarely see good governance.

fashola's performance has been one of the blindly celebrated event/era,yet nothing tangible to show for it.

u get to akwa ibom that was a typical slum about 16 yrs ago and u see the sudden developmental stride by the government in power.u dont need to be told what d government is doing with the money, u see it with ur eye.
fashola is a celebrated rogue

JUHABACH:


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.

davitogreat:
I have always seen fashola's government as a bit overrated and elitist. The fact that he is being touted as the best leader Nigeria has to offer really shows you that Nigeria still has major mountains to climb. Hopefully the next governor of lagos whether (APC or PDP) governs the state better than fashola.

sidenote: One underrated governor in my opinion is Liyel Imoke. The work he has been doing in cross river state with the limited resources and the debt he inherited from his predecessor has been encouraging. I am especially impressed with the rural road and water projects, smart city initiative and the land reform project of his administration.

In any language, growing the internally generated revenue of a state from N6billion to over N20billion monthly over a period of eight years must spell success. This is what the scorecard of Lagos State shows as the fruit of the re-engineering of its Board of Internal Revenue.

Prior to the return of democracy in 1999, the internally generated revenue of the state stood at a measly average of N600million monthly. But the next six years would deliver a steep rise to N3.6billion monthly, the equivalent of 500 per cent jump.

Baddestguyp:
if u notice from his deeds he doesn't seem to care for the common man at all.

Timehin:


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.

How did you get to know all these? Who amongst them is holy including your president?

a foreign journalist also said some weeks ago dat lagos is d worse place to live in! Na dat one we one chop..wat happens to those in lagos mataz most! Its like u avin a father who gives alot to outsider and he is stingy at home...wat do u expect d association neighbours to say??

manutdadex:
Also gej has performd beta dan our ex presidents but will dat stop us frm demandin for a beta service? No!

Aderostock:

All these are like districts concentrated in Oshodi Apapa LG and probably Amuwo odofin axis. There are other roads in other LGs also that need attention

Aderostock:

You expect Fashola to build all the roads in Alimosho LG. if he does that what will the next government do?

lukaino:

Ayobo
Ipaja
Shibiri
Ijegun
Ejigbo
Igando
All the above areas of Lagos have no good roads. In fact some of them still use wooden bridges built by individuals for commercial purposes. This government is simply too elitist.

Aderostock:

When did you criticize your president this way?

Timehin:


I didn't 'dodged' as you claimed but only asked if those were his only achievements.

Good that you have mentioned some street/roads in your area but dont you think residents of ijegun/abaranje/ikotun and its environs deserve good roads too

mbulela:

If you call Fashola a celebrated rogue them you have to come up with a new word for Akpabio.

mbulela:


As usual the truth is in the middle.
Fashola is not all his propaganda machine hype him up to be. He has done well but nowhere as well as the APC guys will want you yo believe. The complexities of governing a place like Lagos cannot be compared by any sane person to a backyard like akwa ibom.thelogistics of raising funds in lagos cannot be compared with the routine of collecting oil money from abuja for akwa ibom and even rivers.
We must not swing from one extreme to another.
If you call Fashola a celebrated rogue them you have to come up with a new word for Akpabio.

Baddestguyp:
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.

Akwa Ibom is Not Broke - Commissioner

Uyo — The Akwa Ibom State government has described as baseless and outrageous reports that the state is broke.

The state Commissioner for Finance, Mr. Akan Okon, in an interview with newsmen in Uyo, said: "Such misinformation is capable of undermining the efforts of the present administration which has demonstrated transparency and accountability in the management of resources."

He said it was wrong to peddle such rumour, as the state has not failed in its financial responsibilities to the people.

On the purported N135 billion federal allocation collected by the state between January and June, the commissioner said the amount was a far cry from the over N400 billion appropriated in the 2014 budget for the actualisation of key projects.

Baddestguyp:
kindly reflect back on his policies, they aren't favourable to d common man/ masses. he believes lagos is only supposed to be for the rich
