Flyboy Zee: BRF constructs roads in Lagos State.
GEJ pays the bills.
Nairalanders (sorry, BRF apologists on NL) insults and curses GEJ for not performing and praises BRF to high heavens. My people, whatever happened to "He who pays the piper dictates the tune".

My people, you see its all a vicious cycle. The FG is working whether you like it or not, whether you know it or not, there are a lot of things going on under the scene which you may obviously not be aware of. So please, when you talk, be careful, because you actually do not know what percentage is being paid for by different parties.

earthgreeners:

Housefly, the thread is about LASG constructing Federal roads and the FG's refusal to pay up money spent on these road after it has been certified ok by the FG engineers....

It's not a BRF vs GEJ thing cos there is no point comparing a Lion with a tortoise.

Hope you get the point?....

Lastly, Please go read up the RETARDEEN THEORY

solomon111: was there anytime the FG said they won't pay?

earthgreeners:

The above post got me laughing..
Like seriously, solomon111, do you reason with your bu.tt?

gunuvi: Shame on Fashola and his cronies. You want to claim 50b and you only mentioned just one road and "others" na wa ooo. Which roads are the others??

J12: 51 billion naira for which road? Are they bridges, and if they're how many are they? How many kilometers? It seems the Lagos SG is trying to scam the FG. That's why the FG is withholding the payments.

solomon111: FG does not contribute its quota,yet it has;
1)Upgraded the ports in lagos,while abandoning ports in other parts of the country.
2)Ensured that lagos have the second highest federal allocation in the country.
3)it has consistently paid lagos its allocation without fail(at least under GEJ)
4)It has always favoured the movement of foreign investments to lagos,at the detriments of other states.
5)it has ensured that the bulk of Nigeria's power is available to lagos to aid industries and companies.
6)it has signed various MOUs with lagos state govt to ensure smooth interplay between both parties and to aid trade and investments.
7)The FG is about to start oil-drilling in lagos next year,which would massively increase lagos revenues.
Infact,the FG(under GEJ) has favoured lagos state at the detriment of other viable states.

Flyboy Zee: @earthgreener, sorry earthdiggers, sorry I meant, gravegreenass or is it even gravediggers, did I insult you? why didn't you just deal with what I wrote, instead of sh*ting my monicker?

All I said was simple. People praise BRF for performing and berate GEJ for underachievement. Yet the so-called high performance index of BRF is hinged on disbursements (exclusive of the monthly allocations) by GEJ.

Let me tell you what you don't know.a

1. GEJ paying the N51B is a favour to BRF and LASG, because like every other state, Lagos draws a monthly allocation from the FG for which BRF can decide what to do with it.

2. Those roads constructed by LASG are not priority roads in the scale of preference of roads in the FG's list. There are roads in this country which serve better social and economic importance than those roads in Ikeja.

3. With or without the contributiom of Lagos, Nigeria would survive very well and still develop economically at the same pace or even faster.

4. BRF who is equivocally vocal knows all of the above and many more things you and I do not know, but yet kept quiet even as the FG is yet to pay up the N51B. Unfortunately, his commissoner for works who doesn't even know how people gain admittance into Aso Rock to see Mr. Presidents sits in an A/Ced car in the traffic on 3rd Mainland bridge and begin to spew trash from his mouth after getting high on amala/ewedu/gbegiri/kpomo combination on the Island.

5. You should know better than to call people you do not know names on a public forum because you are tucked up in an office using up megabytes that have been for by somebody.

6. I rest my case.

7. Thank you, thank you, thank you and God bless. Amen.

For_Now:

Which yeye document! Is it the roads we pass and pay toll for passing. So when FG pays them the money will they stop collecting tolls on the road. Afterall, its our stolen tax monies they used in constructing the road and tolling us on top.

onatisi: lagos acn goverent is asking for 51billion naira from a pdp fg with just 26months to a general election.kobo they will not get

pheliciti:

Point of correction, the FG does not do any state a favour by repairing Federal Roads. It is a responsibility vested in the FG by the constitution and based on which the FG earns the highest chunk of revenue allocation. The roads in question are Federal roads which were repaired with the approval of the FG. One of such is the Badagry expressway project. Note that Lagos state bears the additional cost of the rail infrastructure and yet the whole construction work is less expensive than the Abuja Airport Road/ Umar Yar Adua Road Project.
The lack of FG commitment to local projects like road construction is good premise for the argument that FG should let go of such responsibilities and a commensurate share of its revenue allocation and allow the states handle it. Rgds

demsat: if u assertion above is true, then your PDP led by Jonathan must be clueless. So BRF constructed\rehabilitated the Okota-Amuwo Odofin link road and Jonathan paid for it? I laff in waffi language.

dayokanu:

How many months to an election should they have asked?
