When you tell them about the role played by Tinubu, they will downplay it and say it doesn't matter.

They said raising IGR is nothing but hogwash, to them, IGR means nothing and should not be used as a yardstick to measure the performance of a governor.

This makes me wonder why everyman including Tinubus critics strives to grow their income. Every worker wants a pay rise, and a businessman wants a higher profit, but Tinubus critics say IGR doesn't reflect in the standard or the people.

How do you raise your standard of living if you can't generate enough income to meet your needs?

They are so delusional and fancies the feeding bottle arrangement where every state depends on the FG to meet its needs. No wonder their forefathers were the ones that truncated regional autonomy while the children keep maintaining it.

How do you rationalize people that are against the state's collection of VAT?

Now we are seeing the wonders that a high IGR can do for a state. Today, Lagos is setting another record in sub-Saharan Africa by modernizing its transport system.

Let other states increase their IGR so they can embark on transformational projects, I'm sick and tired of people defending mediocre when they should be talking, a state like Anambra should be on the course if the foundation laid by Chris Ngige to generate income for the state have been kept by the subsequent governors, today, Anambra has dropped on that ladder and it would take the state 7years budget to do what Lagos will do in a year with its budget of 1.7 trillion.

Let's all charge our state governors to perform and stop celebrating mediocrity.

If Tinubu has done it in Lagos, he will do it again at the federal level.

Vote Bola Ahmed Tinubu,

The money has always always always been in lagos. What Tinubu has just done is to collate those money and made the numbers readable. And introduced relatively effective tolling and taxation. This is commendable.
The point however is that the money has always always always been their. Lagos has always been a special city.
Mind you, he can't do much if he had been the governor of Osun. There wont be enough money to make whatever tolling and taxation be really meaningful

Money is not a THING like banknotes in a vault or power in a car battery that occupies space in this case the space of Lagos

No money is confidence of capital owners it is a human thing and it can disappear overnight if not managed properly

Lagos is the one place that investors trust the most. Ask Dangote. Imagine him not putting his refinery in the Niger Delta. We must ask did any of the Delta governors work to change his mind ? Shell and others are leaving Warri

The Niger Delta has a confidence problem and if that is fixed and it can be then you would realize that money does not have a house apart from where the owner thinks is safe

The Niger Delta governors since 1999 have mismanaged the wealth that came their way. They have not ended dependence on oil or created a peaceful environment to retain and attract investment. That hostage taking mentality persists and is a huge deterrent to investment

True but billions of $ was spent to develop Abuja while Lagos was completely abandoned by FG. No significant FG infrastructure spending for over 37 years (when capital moved to Abuja). All the infrastructure developed by FG then have since decayed. Some have been rehabilitated starting the Tinubu era till date.

So the IGR template developed by Tinubu generated funds that led to renewal of Lagos. Without that fund Lagos may still be a derelict state like others in Nigeria


decayed cos they are perishable goods. the embassies and foreign companies headquarters, the ports, the bridges.
FG seized Lagos federal allocation, then Tinubu saw that with so much in Lagos, He can generate much needed funds from taxation.
it was what he did and even allocated much to himself.

did he make a master plan of turning Lagos to a world class city and implement it ?? NO.
No outstanding railway to help intracity transport, no great intracity transport, housing issue is huge, cleanness is very low with dirty gutters and mosquitoes all over.
Stress level is hell. health hazard is high too.

tinubu tapped into the resource that will benefit him and kept doing that. It has always being anything that will benefit him personally.

My friend, you seem not able to understand the situation of lagos.
Lagos will always be rich because several factors have placed it in that position.
First, lagos have before any city in Nigeria been heavily invested infrastructure wise, way back from around 500years by the Portuguese explores that gave it the name Lagos because they saw similarities in topography with the Lágos in Portugal. Then it was also further developed infrastructure wise by the slave returnees from Brazil, jamaica, Haiti, the America mainland and Europe since about 250years ago. The major port anywhere in Nigeria was already established in badagry all this time to bring in and take out commodities in human and goods.
Furthermore, the British colonisers, because of these already laid down favorable factors, chose to make lagos the capital, first of the southern protectorate then of the whole Nigeria since about 150years ago. They further continued the infrastructural development of lagos, to make it fitting for an administrative centre.
All these times, lagos naturally became the wealthiest and most important city in the whole of Nigeria because if its status, the opportunities it offers, the port and other infrastructures that was nowhere else in Nigeria. It then was attracting multitudes of people from various regions in the hinterland of Nigeria. It started more than any city in Nigeria hosting communities, from Benin kingdom, Egba in abeokuta, Ijebus from ijebu ode, rich business people from Brazil in the lagos island area and even tribes like Nupe from the far central region of Nigeria in Oshodi.
Lagos was then producing the richest families and oligarchs in Nigeria.
Then the federal government of the independent Nigeria took over and increased infrastructural development like one caught in a burst of fever. Significant national wealth was concentrated in lagos to make it a functional city fitting for a young and ambitious country.
All these factors and infrastructure that has been put in place since and continued to increase in velocity from more than 500years, naturally attracted like a magnet pull, people from all works of life across Nigeria and even west Africa. And where you see this kind of infrastructure, opportunities and people, you naturally see wealth. Lagos has from a long time, been the most wealthy and by far the most important city in Nigeria.
What Tinubu did to his big credit, is putting figures on this wealth. By collating revenue, centralising revenue collecting and collating office under a body, increasing and modernizing mechanisms for collecting and collation of taxes and then putting aggressively tollage system in place everywhere in lagos.
This is the situation of lagos. This situation wasn't created in the 8years of Tinubu or even in the about 20years after him. It's been 500years coming.
I have educated you here.

Mine is clear money has no house . It goes where its owners think it will be safe and in Nigeria today that is Lagos.
