Tinubu in action.

I liked Ambode, but if after three years of stay. We still spend a lot hours between okoko and oJo barracks because of the numerous bad roads.

Ahh. On Monday, I trekked from Volks to trade fair not because I don't have transport far but because the road was so terrible and Okada riders had a free day of exploiting stranded people.

I stand with anybody not Ambode joor.
Daily, we trek all the way to trade fair... It's not fair at all

MyVILLAGEpeople:
The powers that be (Tinubu) has anointed him to be next Governor of Lagos state.

Tinubu decides who becomes the governor of Lagos state.

Our votes don't count anymore in this country.

deomelo:



Stop bothering me with your technocrat argument, if you think he is, more power to you.

Of what relevance is your technocrat headache? It made him a great or failed governor?

Find something better to argue over..

AZeD1:


A technocrat is a scientist, engineer, or other expert who is one of a group of similar people who have political power as well as technical knowledge.

Definition from Cambridge Dictionary.


So is Ambode a Technocrat?

MyVILLAGEpeople:


Are we still practicing democracy then??

Why can't the people choose who should become their leader, instead of one man deciding who becomes governor of a state of about 20 million people.

lexy2014:
that road is a federal road.

lukaino:


And what is Airport road? a State road?

PercyJackSon007:
Our votes do count. If the people don't vote Ambode, it's because they don't want him.Tinubu

lexy2014:
which airport road are u talking about? Is there any airport road at okoko/Ojo barracks axis?

Ugosample:


Good governors you say??

His own government was terrible

Fashola's govt was just above average (by Nigerian standard sef )

And Ambode is a below average governor


let's face the truth

Is it not the same Lagos I know?

And let's look ar the other governors he foisted elsewhere

most of them are useless.


This country as a whole needs help

Moukandjo:

My "neutral" friend is still here asking questions as usual but has failed to answer questions I asked for over 4 months now!
So let me remind you, in case you've forgotten: Why did you support Jonathan in 2015 election?

lexy2014:

my dear how u&how's ur weekend?(that's a question).
First of all, if u asked me a question 4months ago, it certainly wasn't on this thread. It would have been better if u had opened d discussion on d thread so as not 2 derail this thread.

Second, 4u 2 ask me d question "Why did u support Jonathan in 2015 election?" means that I had one time or d other told u( or someone else) that I supported Jonathan hence ur enquiry as to why. If u can, pls avail me of d discussion u&I had where&when I told u that I supported Jonathan in 2015. If not, u might have 2 wait longer than another 4 months

Moukandjo:

So use this opportunity to tell us who you supported in 2015! Why have you been too scared of answering that when you defend Ebelemi Jonathan allover Nairaland? It shouldn't be that hard to answer for someone who asks questions, a lot of which are dumb, like his life depends on it!

Moukandjo:

ayokellany:


Which of your governor did beta than his best ?
That will be too much, which did beta than his top three ?

lexy2014:
my darling, u are so funny. U aren't really interested in Jonathan, whether I supported him or any other aspirant. I believe this is what ur interaction with me is about



Do u no what, it seems u took some of my questions too personal. Like I told u last time out, ur ego has been bruised&u are still carrying battle scars that's y I tried 2 help u by agreeing with u that my questions are indeed dumb. That should have helped u 2 heal but it seems its deeper than I thought

Moukandjo:

Ego bruised? I schooled you in that thread, boy, & you resulted to motivational speeches to end the topic, but still refused to play your part by answering my own question which was to tell us who you supported in 2015? Or you need me to show you how you ended that thread after your initial, dumb "I got you" questions?

lexy2014:
its d same thing we are saying. This conversation isn't about "Why did I support Jonathan in 2015". U are still carrying serious battle scars from d conversation u are talking about. Pls avail urself of everything u need 2 make urself feel better.

Moukandjo:

We're not saying the same thing, boy! You jumped on that thread claiming to be a "neutral" (when your Nairaland history says you're pro-Jonathan) & trying to ask your usual dumb "I got you" questions just to stylishly push your bias against the govt, but were disappointed in the end which made you result to your motivational speeches! Other Jonathan sycophants here on Nairaland are bold & proud to support their man anytime except you! Why

The fact that you claim to be a "neutral" while still defending Ebelemi Jonathan allover Nairaland is what's annoying! Point is own up to your side of the divide & stop being a hypocrite! Nobody will beat you if you do so! Even you yourself know say you don cast which is why you're too ashamed to own up to who you supported in 2015 so we no go fit hold you wella!
It's however not too late to answer the question!

Obeseke:


Why would they run a service for an aspirant whose fate is yet to be decided by party members and even the King Maker himself, our very own Jagaban. It is in no one's interest using propaganda at all times just to skew things in your favour. Pls, be wise and stop this immature postings everywhere even if you are hired so to do

lexy2014:
These are ur exact words:

"Ambode is not a technocrat and never was, he was a an accountant."

If u knew it wasn't worth arguing about, then y did u bring up? Its not my argument. It is ur argument. One which u started but u are running away from it like a dog with its tail in between its legs cos u have been asked 2 defend what u said. Am not interested in whether ambode failed or succeeded. I wasn't into that line of discussion in d first place. If u have grudge with ambode, thats not my problem. So pls defend ur statement u made

lexy2014:



Honestly, i didn't no that "dumb questions" could b so powerful that 4 months after they were asked, someone is still feeling bruised&wounded.
I really really feel 4u. If I tell u that I understand what u going thru, I would b lying but am doing d best i can 2 put myself in ur shoes and empathize with ur situation. If after u "schooled" me, 4 months later u still feeling so hurt, it breaks my heart. After 4 months, u reeling out ur emotions & pain just as if it was yday, makes me wonder if indeed I left such a lasting impression. I feel guilty cos from here I wish i could 2 reach out&b a source of strength & support so u can find d closure u need.

Taich:
Ambode Pele. Looks like this guy is fully ready to take our Lagos State. Ambode swim or drown the decision is yours.

WritePal:
Yes, Ambode decided to chart his own path and not be subjected to the whims and caprices of the so-called state leaders like Banire and Fashola. After all, he's an elected exec governor, not their boy, and deserves his own respect too.

Yes, Ambode is not perfect, but neutrals know he's sincere, broad-minded (can't really say so of Fashola) and focused on his own vision (not Banire's or Fashola's unsolicited blueprint).

But you know the real issues why all the sudden noise about Sanwo-Olu (a man from the 'system' according to Banire)? It's the PSP. operators. They are actually not private enterpreneurs. They are members of the Mandate Group Fashola compensated with a regular flow of massive income through the PSP-Lawma arrangement.

So when Ambode decided to modernize waste mgt as it's done in Western country (He didn't get it right initially, but would eventually after all the teething problems), they revolted. How can Ambode remove their source of monthly multi million income generation?

Forget all the yadayada about potholes, bridge and blah, blah. They are all smokescreen. The real issues are the PSP operators who are the APC delegate/foot soldiers and members of the Mandate Group (some of them are here on Nairaland. I suspect deomelo is one).

They've got assurance from Sanwo-Olu that he will restore back their honey pot and continue with Fashola's policies. And Tinubu doesn't want to go against them as they're his subjects he relies on to continue his political relevance in Lagos.

THIS IS THE SUMMARY. DON'T BE CARRIED AWAY BY SMOKE.
