Demdem: Leaders that are highly focus and have the interest of the people at heart are easily known and appreciated. Among his peers, retardeen inclusive, Fashola leads the pack no doubt.

Abagworo: IMHO if this is all he achieved with 20billion Naira per month, I pity you all in Lagos.

OAM4J: So proud of my Governor.

This is when 3rd term agenda make sense. But then, I believe there are many as good as Fashola that will continue the good work come 2015.

Eko Ile:



Hate, bad bele, tribalism...

It's sometimes hard for many of them to swallow seeing Lagos state constantly moving ahead and leaving them behind while their own states stagnate to the curb.


I know we joke around all the time, but for for some reason, I really feel sorry for them.

Olalekan 0: In case you didn't know,Fashola receives way more than 20B per month and while the south-southern states receives more allocation than Lagos,their IGR is lesser than Lagos,thus Lagos state eventually has more money than any oil producing state at the end of the month when they sum up all availabl e funds

Eko Ile:

Not so fast .

It's either your knowledge of arithmetic is very poor or you are just ignorant which I think you really are and ill break it down just to show you why and also educate people like you that make noise about IGR.

Monthly IGR is 23 billion = 23 billion x 12 = 276.

Monthly allocation is 10 billion = 10 x 12 = 120

120 + 276 = 396.

Lagos state's budget for 2013 is 497 billion so they have to borrow 101 billion to cover the difference. For 20 million people .

Now. Akwa iboms budget for 2013 is 458 billion for just 3 million people igr or no igr = 6 times richer than lagos per head with just 3 million people

Rivers states burget for 2013 is whooping 490 billion igr or no igr for 5 million people .= 4 times richer than lagos state per head with little or nothing to show for it.

So, without borrowing, lagos states budget is meager 396 billion with igr and allocation while these other states are posting 458 billion and 490 billion with little overhead and responsibilities.

Now, instead of your fixation on lagos state that we see what they do with their little money and huge responsibilities, you need to spend all that energy asking all these ss states what they are doing with all their astronomical budgets apart from spending it on private jets.


Next time before you say anything about lagos state and igr, do your math and educate yourself first.

ypzilanti:

Agree with you that Fashola is trying and I am a supporter of his government. Note however, that in terms of infrastructure, the population point does not follow. Unless Lagos State is dod
ing some massive social security program which I am unaware of, Fashola, Akpabio and Amaechi can be judged and rated as peers with the same infrastructural challenges: Roads, Bridges, Transport and in the future (as deregulation begins)Power.

obailala: I just hope and pray that the bootlicking comments I'm seeing on this thread are from Fashola's version of the 40 man laptop gang because if these comments sincerely represent the true mindset of Nigerians, then we are in real deep shit.

Just like someone said earlier, 'all these for simple project inspection?... when commissioning starts, what are we to expect?

emabe: Waiting till projects are complete

GidiBuy: Why wasn't he brought to Ayobo - Iyana Ipaja Road??....the contractors suppose to finish the contract by Nov 2012 last year. As I speak the road has been abandoned and another rain is here again. The suffering this year would be massive.

Eko Ile:


The contract was awarded and taken away from Bulletin construction for slow pace of work and re awarded to another company. Relax, everything is going to NR alright.

Eko o ni baje o...
