Ayekotoo:
Asking me out again after last nite show of disgrace. I will put you to where you belong until you come to your sense that these people they wish to have leaders like Fashola, Aregbesola, Amosun, Ajimobi et all but fate couldnt but gave them T.A Orji, Elechi, Obiano et all.

Atouke: unborn children of the five debt affected states.

ISpiksDaTroof: Patience Jonathan alone can pay this chicken change debt from just one account she has held in the name of her proxies.

aljharem:

The level of debts corresponds or make logical sense to the level of infrastructure they have in the state. The same cannot be said of Lagos.

Atouke: Fate of citizens of the five debt affected states in Nigeria

Ayekotoo:
Wait till he twists and throw the questions back to you. he's called Mr. crayon for nothing

aljharem:

Debts is not the issue after all the most powerful country in the world is in great debts. The issue is the use of the debts.

Was it just paid into Tinubu's, Aregbesola and co account or was it use for development

and if so, why do we still pay tax if we are indebted and yet still collect Federal allocation and IGR.

There is no logic behind that.

Ayekotoo:
Now I know you have no iota of sense. So you could spew this garbage? List them start with Abia, Anambra, kogi, benue, bayelsa, Ebonyi, Katsina et all and let's see if there debts truly correspond with infrastructural developments

Ayekotoo:
Trying hard to sound intelligent. Hahaha! keep consoling your Igbos friends

APContherun:
Can you tell us how much Patience Jonathan is worth? Your contribution on nairaland should reflect your age but I'm guessing you are just a kid trying to play adult's game.
I hate that the op made it a South West thing, I would have appreciated it more if he had included all the states so we could be better informed. The question sane minds should ask is about the sustainability of those debts. Have the states the means and ability to repay such huge amount of debts and what will it costs poor tax payers in the process. What are the projects on the ground to justify such huge debts, it's painfully obvious there's not much. Nigerian states governors just mortgage the future of their states and we foolishly praise and urge them on.

Abraham Lincoln once said that “if you would
win a man to your cause, first convince him that
you are his sincere friend”. That, perhaps, is
what has kept Lagos State together under the
governorship of Babatunde Raji Fashola. At first,
it was like a very difficult pill to swallow for
Lagosians – his style, the need to change Lagos
State and make it a mega city, the demolitions,
the new rules he created on how to operate and
govern; the apolitical posturing, sometimes
bordering on the stiff-necked – because the old
style, the affable, politically induced aura of
inclusiveness and tolerance that his successor,
Bola Ahmed Tinubu, had created, was seen by
many as a template for success in governance.
But here was a man, a gangling lawyer, thrust
upon a polity of clashing socio-economic-
religious and political interests, in a manner
most shocking; and pushing an agenda that was
considered alien and finicky! It was so bad that
even between Fashola and Tinubu, there was a
disagreement on matters of style.
However, today, because Fashola took Lincoln’s
admonition to heart, that there was need to first
convince Tinubu and Lagosians that he is indeed
a sincere friend, he has been able to win many,
very many, to his cause. Decisions thought to
have been rash and anti-people appear to be
yielding results. The catch-phrase in Lagos is,
Eko o ni baje (conditions in Lagos will not be
allowed to degenerate)

aljharem: The performance of Lagos State Governor Babatunde Fashola is exaggerated (“overblown”) and does not “match the revenue accruing to the state on a monthly basis,” says Executive Chairman, Coalition Against Corrupt Leaders (CACOL), Mr. Debo Adeniran.


“[b]Though the state government is said to have done a lot for the state, CACOL found out that the government has not done as much as it has been portrayed.

“[size=18pt]The budget of the state is in excess of N20bn monthly without substantial proof of what it has been used for. We have undertaken an assessment of the 57 councils in the state and it has proved that the LASG is over-hyped for doing very little.[/size]”

He said the group’s hypothesis had shown that the budgetary impact on infrastructural development in the state was not accessible.

“However, we have yet to come to the conclusion as regards how much money had been spent on infrastructure; we would not just say corruption has set in. Maybe, the money is being kept somewhere, but definitely, it has not been spent on what they claim,” he further said.
The alleged ‘secrecy’ of the Lagos State Government was questionable, he said, stressing that it could have engaged in ‘monumental corruption’ more than anyone could ever imagine.

“[size=18pt]Through propaganda, the LASG has been able to cajole Lagosians[/size] to believe that Fashola is, at present, the most performing governor in the country.[/b]

“[size=18pt]It is unfortunate that Nigerians easily believe anything.[/size] There should not be secrecy in government; it should be open and transparent. Let LASG prove that their hands are clean,” Adeniran said.

Just so unfortunate

aljharem: ^^^^^^

Has this answered anyone's question ?

Level of infrastructure VS debt profile VS IGR.

aljharem:

I am not a PDP member but will say the truth when I see one.

Lagos has been under AD---APC since 1999 so you say fashola has improved Lagos is based on the individuality of Fashola and not APC.

Apart from this, OYO ( Spent some time there recently), Ekiti have not shown any sign of improvement. All we see is more poverty.



It is a statement of fact

The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) at the weekend said Sokoto State is the poorest state in the country.
According to information obtained on NBS website by an online agency, The Citizen Platform, the state has 81.2 per cent poverty rate.


The information disclosed that other states on the list include Katsina, 74.5 per cent; Adamawa, 74.2 per cent; Gombe, 74.2 per cent; Jigawa, 74.1 per cent; Plateau, 74.1 per cent; Ebonyi, 73.6 per cent; Bauchi, 73 per cent; Kebbi, 72 per cent and Zamfara, 70.8 per cent.


The state with the lowest poverty rate was Niger with 33.8 per cent, followed by Osun with 37.9 per cent and Ondo with 45.7 per cent.
Others include Bayelsa State with 47 per cent and Lagos State, 48.6 per cent.


The average poverty rate of the states in the North-west geopolitical zone remained the highest at 71.4 per cent followed by North-east 69.1 per cent and North-central, 60.7 per cent.


The record showed that poverty was least prevalent in the South-west, with an average of 49.8 per cent, followed by South-south, 55.5 per cent and South-east, 59.5 per cent.

Ayekotoo:
Ok! they are not responsibilities of the federal government. Are they also not your state government responsibilities? Mr. crayon, you are a disgrace if you can't hold your leaders responsible for your sorry state.

aresa:

Why do you borrow money? To service your government or to fund infrastructures. I won't waste my time going back and forth with you about projects and infrastructures in Lagos state because I'm sure you see what we post here everyday so you questioned that either because of intentional ignorance or intentional deception and deceit..

If you really are concerned about debts, you should be more concerned about states with little or no means, not Lagos state with more than enough o payback and also with too many things on the ground to show for all the spending..

Enugu is a poor state with meager and one of the smallest state budgets in Nigeria. Their budget is N93 billion while their debt is N66 billion with almost zero means to make payments...

People like you I can not take seriously because there is no truth to your concerns...

ISpiksDaTroof: Nigerians from a certain part of your country are about the most ignorant animals on the planet. Not fit to be called 'humans' despite the fact they walk on two feet and have mastered the art of speech for communication, these beings are so backwards because they can only see logic through religion and the opposing arguers tribe.


Just so you know, your Patience Jonathan is worth between $4-7billion... and those are conservative estimates.

Pray to God with all your might---and hope the Devil answers your pleas---that Buhari doesn't win the next elections the revelations on how much of the country's wealth is being drain will definitely cause you a heart attack.

Western Govts already have the info ready to pass on to a new Government to ensure GEJ and his allies go to prison after his tenure is over.

Moreover it is a known fact that Lagos generate more revenue than Akwa Ibom and the level or should I use RATE ! of infrastructure in Akwa Ibom is farrrrr greater than Lagos.

aljharem:

Debts is not the issue after all the most powerful country in the world is in great debts. The issue is the use of the debts.

Was it just paid into Tinubu's, Aregbesola and co account or was it use for development

and if so, why do we still pay tax if we are indebted and yet still collect Federal allocation and IGR.

There is no logic behind that.

aresa:


1. What you generate or don't generate is irrelevant, what budget you passed to work with determines how much you have and how rich you are.

2. Akwa Ibom pass higher budgets than Lagos state and their population is almost 1/4 of Lagos state's population. Almost N100 billion more than Lagos state.

3. The only thing they have in Akwa Ibom are just the few roads in Uyo, the rest are 1 uncompleted hospital, 1 uncompleted stadium, 1 uncompleted airport, 1 uncompleted tropicana.


Still, Akwa Ibom has N60 billion debt with the largest budget in Nigeria and one of the smallest population.


Find another state to formulate your example baseless rubbish on..

Atouke: Each time you see anyone from the south west tell him or her that they are each owing N8,480 courtesy of their borrowing governors.

Every citizen from the five states has a debt burden of N8,480 hanging on their neck courtesy of their state governors.
