mabelly:Like i said, i'm not holding brief for Fayose. But i don't see how he's different from atleast 30 governors in Nigeria who just want to maintain the status quo of been spoon fed by the center. Not as if the center isn't supporting that ideology anyways else it would have released more powers to the constituent units. The only reason why Fayose is a topic of discussion is because he's always in the news for the wrongest of reasons. 1 Like |

Afam4eva: I agree with your submission here. And that is why we need to start stoning our leaders, at least the northerners have started. Instead of waiting for one non existing judiciary to apply the Constitution, let us start stoning them just the same way we pass instance judgements on people who are caught stealing Maggi and yam without us waiting for their conviction so why can't we do same to these bunch of criminals in Prado jeeps. 2 Likes 1 Share |

jconsulting: He took the bullets for Lagos and Lagosians under OBJ and he's still taking the bullets for them at the national level, this makes it easy for governors to concentrate on governing instead of engaging in political fights.

Afam4eva: And you still don't get it, money has nothing to do with it, visionary leadership is about finding the means. Maybe you need to check how much debt Lagos has rather than banging on about IGR. 5 Likes |

Afam4eva: Nwannem, Lets tell ourselves truth. Lagos was not built as pan Nigerian. Lagos was built as Yoruba city. Through the humanity of Yoruba people they opened their hearts to everybody and accepted all and sundry. We should thank people like Macauley, Oba Adeniji Adele, Mobolaji Johnson, Adeniran Ogunsanya, Awolowo. Guy let me tell you, if Hausa owned Lagos and we and Yoruba were Northerners I promise you Lagos will be exclusive and hell for non Hausa to live in. We should not dismiss the Yoruba big heart when talking of Lagos. 12 Likes 1 Share |

Afam4eva: I did not judge Ekiti state by Lagos or any other state's standards, I specifically stated the man's incompetence, irresponsible ways of governing and lack of ideas to move the state forward. And saying Fayose is the typical or average Nigerian governor is a disservice and blemish on other trying state's in Lagos especially since other states are not lining their people up on the side of the road while dishing out cups of rice and stipends for internet show just to cover and distract from is failure and incompetence. Other state governors in Nigeria are not roaming around wasting time riding okada all over the place, showing off at this and that buka eating amala or obsessed with the president and federal issues with silly and ignorant rants every day. No, he's not like the average Nigerian governor. Again, if you are going to defend or make excuses for Fayose, at least show us any credible economic policies or actions he's taken since his first day in office. I don't have to belong to the APC to see what the man in Osun is doing and have done in terms of projects, initiatives, and infrastructures. Only Lagos state commissioned more projects than Osun state and I see Osun doing more or even better than Ambode with the kind of resources available in Lagos and we have records and facts to show. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Afam4eva:If you say MOST then you do not know Lagos State or its Geography or history. The greater part of Lagos is in the three divisions of Ikorodu Epe and Badagry and its waterways (Lagos State has FIVE DIVISIONS R ) so only you know where you get your 80 % from .Maybe you are talking of the LAGOS YOU know( Ladipo and Alaba) .Real indigenous people don't even use that word Lagos because it has little meaning.every community has an Oba and so when describing anywhere an indigene is well aware or boundaries and terminology. It is NOT a PanNigerian city 2 Likes |

I am gong to join the conversation now . Yes , Ambode is average and 2 notches below another average governor , Fashola . They both score C6 in a class full of F9 failures . I rank Amosun in ogun state above Ambode . Eye candy for the unenlightened like flyover and motor parks are no substitute for strategic thinking . When you see a typical Asian developing country , they govern in such a way to build up their local capacity . Even Pakistan where over 80% of the men are illiterates has built-up local capacity in the remaining 20%. This is why Pakistan build jets and nuclear weapons and Nigeria cannot make toothpicks . Go and check , the bridge was probably built by a former Lebanese 4 x 4 shop holder or a Syrian plumber who happened to touch base in Nigeria and bamboozled the so called leader . Awo was a strategic thinker who touched all base ( education ,infrastructure,fiscal accounting , culture ,justice ,environment etc . Fashola and Ambode are not strategic thinkers . They are C grade administrators in country full of ,and government by lowlifes ,delinquents ,half-literates and thieves 2 Likes |

Afam4eva: Do you want to tell me we dont have a landscape and seaside in East better than Lagos? Let us start something, however little, just something to kick start a future and better Lagos, in Biafra territory. We have the sea, we have rivers, we have the means...but our leadership is cursed. Right now we need someone who can tongue lash our leadership like Sanusi is doing in North. Im really surprised we worship Orji Kalu but ignore Charles Soludo. We have deep sea port we have free trade zone but are all non functional because we are hooked to Lagos and believe it belong to every Nigerian. Somebody don lie to us. Very soon Lekki free zone will be operational, Badagry deep sea port will be commisioned but we will be first to rush in and buy shops because we want to prove with our cash that Lagos belong to all Nigerians. Why Hausa no dey pour millions for Lagos, why Edo no dey pour millions to buy shops in Lagos, why Ijaw no dey build mall and plaza in Lagos, why Nupe, Tiv, dont sink their wealth in Lagos? Are Igbos the only ones that know Lagos used to be capital, others dont know this? Yorubas are using our sweat to live large. This Lagos is pan Nigeria rubbish is stale. Lets go spend millions and open shops in Ibaka and redefine East. There is only one thing that get Yoruba attention and that is when we say we want Biafra and will return home with our investment to develop our region. Dont you see Obasanjo patronising Aba shoes, Aba wears, he even declared that Igbo should have turn of presidency in 2019. My brother, anything to keep us within Nigeria and slaving for tax income to Yorubaland. Why dont these people come to our land and spend like we spend on theirs? This thing tire me abeg |

oduastates:What a rant You add 2 and 2 and come up with 7. There is simply no information given to tell us about Ambodes lack of strategic thinking. That information is unavailable in your rant. The Pakistan story is wholly irrelevant. So building a flyover equates to a failure to build capacity. Ambode is now responsible for national strategy? 1 Like |

The small money politician no take , no foreigner dry reap the harvest. I will like to know what the government has done in terms of the environmental impact of opening Epe up (the destruction of the Fiona and Fauna like you have in Lagos city). This is the only pristine place left in the state . Are we going to get another Mowe and Ibafo or they are going to get serious and start administering urban and regional planning ? |

Gap2020: Who is talking about money or population here ? A substantial chunk of the population is unproductive .per capita , 1 Lagos get the least allocation from the FG 2 Has the most responsibilities 3 and is most responsible What you have is an unconventional structure that works . Lagos ,because it was well admistered (Nigerian standard) , has perfected the way to recycle money like big American or U.K. corporation . Lagos borrows against expected IGR and allocation . Instead of waiting to generate and accumulate 2 naira or 20 billion , the state borrows the lump sum now and while using the revenues generated to pay down the capital and interest. This further improves the State's credit rating (which means they can borrow larger amounts in future ) Fayemi used the same system in Ekiti . You need intelligent people to run such systems. 4 Likes |
