Your submission is another example of a small mind
at work.
Federalism is not about being concerned ONLY
with your own state or region of the country.
Have you ever wondered whether there could be more
people from Agenebode and its environs living and working
in Lagos state than there are from Ilaro, your own hometown?
This is the reason Joe Igietseme takes interest in Lagos state
affairs. The interest is well placed. Lagos state, under Fashola might be
pointing to the future of Nigeria as a whole, if more governors decide
to work for the people rather than for their own pockets.
Bye,
Ola

Jo-Jo-vin,
Why don't you save your spit for Lucky Igbinedion to do up the hospitals we saw after your kinsmen met in Texas?
That is the reason for federalism so you can hold your governors accountable.
Go and donate to fix the crumbling hospitals in Edo State - LASUTH - Lagos State University Teaching Hospital in Ikeja is becoming a better centre of excellence than the old and federal government owned LUTH now.
Fashola gives all Pensioners in Lagos free medical, and they get it. He is touching lives already, and he will touch more. You go and stop Lucky Igbinedion from using your money to live in obscene opulence while Edo citizens are dying.

If Lagos State Governor Fashola accomplishes the Lagos Metro-TRAIL his Legacy will be carved on the Rocks of Time!!!He should QUIT Ship/Boat hotels, Amusement parks and other "show-me" projects that dont support the bottomline and dont take the AVERAGE Lagosian anywhere. Lagosians need regular water supply, road networks, waste/sewer managment systems and educational facilities. Take care. JUI

The governor of Lagos State, Babatunde Fashola, on Monday, flagged off the World Bank-assisted Lagos State Rail Mass Transit project at the Orile tanker terminal on the Lagos-Badagry Expressway.The project, which is being executed by a Chinese firm, China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC), has a completion deadline of five years.Mr. Fashola expressed joy that the project, first conceived by the Second Republic UPN government in the state, had become a reality."This project which was attempted 30 years ago but was truncated has finally taken off. "The project when completed will transform rail transportation in the state and bring a lot of relief to the people," said Fashola, who was represented by the Managing Director of the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Agency (LAMATA), Dr Tayo Mobereola.Mr. Fashola promised that the government would ensure that the rail project which started a year ago was completed on schedule.The Deputy Manager, CCECC, Shi Hongbing, promised that the project would be completed within the stipulated period of five years.Mr. Hongbing said: "The CCECC Nigeria promises to perform its best for the Lagos Rail Mass Transit Project having been tested and found capable in other areas of construction.'' The project's engineering consultant, Robert Searth, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that the project, which is in two phases, would require five years to complete because of the elevation of the rail tract from Marina to Orile-Iganmu.He said that the project, which would cost more than 500 million dollars (N75 billion) would include the construction of a bridge to connect Lagos Island with other parts of the metropolis.Mr. Searth said that the construction of rail tracks from Iddo to Okokomaiko would take three years to complete while the Iddo-Marina axis would take two years.![Yahoo!
