Governor Fashola politely turned a chieftaincy title from the Oniru of Iru Land, Oba Abiodun Idowu Oniru, at the monarch's 75th birthday and 18th year coronation anniversary, which took place yesterday Saturday Sept 8th. The Lagos state governor said he couldn't accept any titles at this time so he could focus on his job as a governor. He said;
“Kabiyesi and his chiefs can continue to lead us, let them deal with all those traditional and chieftancy issues. At the appropriate time, we will come and join them, but for now, leave us in our suits, booths, overalls and helmets, because this agbada is not good for clearing refuse and tarring the roads.”
Good move Fashola, even though you deserve it, you rejected it. Just focus on your good governance.
ReplyDeleteWhat a man! He is so humble.
ReplyDeleteSwits ur ryt abt his humility but ova dis issue I think wat's screaming clearly 4 me is his focus n discipline. Guys get dis- most of dis chieftaincy title tins r not given 4 notin. Wen u take it, dey get bak 4rm u sumhow. Dats y its no longer given 2 d biological nobles of d land but 2 those who hav a lot of cash power or influence. Kudos 2 him. My respect 4 him just went lyk 10 notches up
DeleteNice, am so loving fashola, very humble man.
ReplyDeletethat's my gov

ReplyDeleteThis guy is a boss! Respect to a Nigerian political hero in the making!

ReplyDeletePresidential quality. Up fashola. Ur wife is very lucky. Just hope she converts you to xtianity. Acknowledging Jesus as our Lord and saviour still remains the only way to heaven.
ReplyDeleteFool wt has religion gt to do wit dis i guess u r d kind of pple dt cause religious conflict in dis country
DeleteI agree... And am Christian ... The comment was Ill- conceived and not well thought through but is a true reflection of the decadence of reasoning and pure straight sensibility in a stupid environment
DeleteGood one....polite no thank u! Got more important and pressing issues to deal with!
ReplyDeleteThat's an educated lad right der
ReplyDelete1 word; HUMILITY!
ReplyDeleteIf it was some selfish mugus naw, dey wud hv jumpd @ it
God bless Fashola. That's what leadership is about. Inspiring decision.
ReplyDeletePlease give it to Chief Gov. Akpabio of Akwa Ibom. He lives on awards and titles.
ReplyDeleteBro,d@s rili uncalled 4! Fashola rejecting d title boils dwn 2 his personal views. U dnt expect evri1 2 so act like him.
DeleteKum 2 think of it,is it onli Chief Akpabio d@s bn collecting awards...wot of oda Governors???
If a Governor works n ppl finds him deservng of an award wots ya own beef dude! Stop insulting ma Governor o...so proud of him!!!
#Big Boi says so#

ReplyDeleteThumbs up RBF-Gov!
i love dis man
ReplyDelete**Too much maggi dey spoil soup** #JustSaying#
ReplyDeleteAbi naa, he has priorities unlike some really power hungry politicians. I really respect Fashola, I don't know y some politicians can't emulate positive examples.
ReplyDeleteSmart Guy. Stay away from all those stuff
ReplyDeleteSharp guy.too make sense jare fash
ReplyDeleteI like this guy abeg. Its people like him that should run for presidency. He seems like a man of integrity. Its not always about titles. Infact anybody can buy a title these days in Nigeria. I've seen illiterates that answer 'chief' and 'sir'. He is right to focus on the job at hand. As long as there is life, his time of honest chieftaincy title will come. Afterall, what is the point of answering 'Oba', if he has nothing to show for being the governor of Lagos state?
ReplyDelete-Chichi.
Wise guy......diplomacy @ its peak
ReplyDeleteWell said
ReplyDeletehe\'s truly a christain
ReplyDeleteThats my Governor... Eko o ni baje

ReplyDeleteLinda no be "Turned down"?
ReplyDeleteGod will bless this man beyound every man's imagination.
ReplyDeleteMy husband was just talking about some people that must have a title in front of their names at all cost, even if it is not given to them, they'll create one for themselves.
Well said the Guv
ReplyDeletethis man is ehn MY HERO HERO...like seriously even if they accuse him of stealing throughout his career and its true he's still MY HERO...ok someone set up a meeting for me and the BOSS plssssssss :(
ReplyDeleteI love Governor Fashola he is a man of integrity and he is not after titles.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous 6:40 PM Sorry to say but you are brainless,what has his religion has to do with this people like you should not rule this country ode oshi
ReplyDeleteFashola is a candidate to beat anyday. BRF for 2015!
ReplyDeleteHmmmmm!na wa ooo! False story! Dey did not offer him a chieftaincy title oooo. D media jst knows how to twist things.its crazy mehn. They only gave him an award nd he was like "I was almost scared dat it was a chieftaincy title nd my work in lagos isn't over yet"
ReplyDeleteA wise man indeed.
ReplyDeleteSorry to disappoint u religious faggots! Fashola is a muslim to the core. What has d religion he practices got to do with anything? Pls let outgrow dis stupidity! Av we not seen so called xtians like cecilia Ibru, Akingbola and co! Are dey not deacon and deaconess in der church? Didn't dey distabilize the economy? Carrying industries in der personal accounts? Pls only an idiot ll talk about religious inclination in dis day and age in Nigeria. We need forward thinking leaders.
ReplyDeleteWise man~Gov Fashola...God will continue to direct you..YB
ReplyDeleteBRF...I jst respect n luk up to him! Wise man!
ReplyDeleteGov Rotimi Amaechi, Should learn from Fashola what they call leadership...not been too over rigid in handling issues of great interest in Rivers State.
ReplyDeleteIgbo man.he knows if he accepts it now dat community pple will rope him in and start calling him for all laucheons n Party.@ sugarbear go and open ur own blog.u 2 talk
ReplyDeleteBaba ni yen.
ReplyDeleteFashola 2015!!!!
ReplyDeleteEvery time i luk around Lagos, I say God bless Fashola. Truly God will bless him beyond human comprehension. I just love this man.
ReplyDeleteNow, this is who I call FOCU! Some opportunities are not meant for good- they derail you instead. #Keepfocus.
ReplyDeleteThank you my Honorable Guv. You are exemplary. The Lord will stay your hand. It will only take a silly person to receive a post that is presently under you... Make GEJ hand over to you.. i beg take that one o..
ReplyDeleteWell done Sir.. Eko o ni baje o.
Not a stupid man then.... anyone who knows real Yoruba culture will tell you about the traditional sacrifice(s) that goes into obtaining a genuine title. As for my lineage, there is more to say than I can divulge except that we have chosen to serve only YHWH 'The I am that I am' and him alone. No title in the form of an initiation to a false god will suffice. This is the age of true awareness and choice we live in today. Be informed and never sell your future at whatever cost. Only Jesus saves.
ReplyDeletei hope baba tinubu would learn from him
ReplyDeleteLOL at Unknown. Fashola is Muslim. What has being Christian got to do with it? FYI I'm Christian before you start to get defensive.
ReplyDeleteThat's a man in the real sense of it........he knows the right thing to do and at the right time........thumbs up BRF!!!
ReplyDeleteBad sharp leader that is what i call a man of integrity he knows he does not need such for now.it would av been a distraction besides it can sway his sense of judgement wen it comes to land issues the oiniru knew wat he was doing by extending such and baba fash knew wat he was doing by rejecting such he is the best gift asiwaju gave lagoshains eko oni baje o
ReplyDeletethis man is who Nigeria needs.
ReplyDeleteI think he got this right but misbehaves at times though pardonable.

ReplyDeleteHis principles are refreshing. May God bless and continue to strengthen him. Wish we have a president like him...hope he runs for president in future though I'm sure the evil men will not want him to win.
