are we 'developed'?

my illinois state id card looks better

Face important things like good roads & infrastructure in the state & not some card. Okay we now have Voters card, National I.d card now this?

seriously dis is a waste of public fund..we already have voters card and National I.d card, wot is d usefulness of dis one? is it to distinguish lagosian from other states or wot? ##spit##

Firefire:



I could not independently verified who will or have gotten the printing contract, but base on the trend in Lagos and the secretive style of ruling the project would be hyper inflated.


A case study of : 1km Road = ONE BILLION NAIRA ONLY!

Lag-ibadan exp way is constructed at 2billion per KM....

Oga o even though u are trying...this ur project is nt. making sense....ur garagara too much.This act is not helping national integration.

National ID don come, go...e no do una
Lagos State car plate number come en own...e no do una
Now na Tenant Identification card! Na wa for this APC and their useless innovations o

I have mine , though in paper

englishmart:
APC and useless innovations sha!

Sharap! If you don't have wat to say, den keep shut!

That's a governor that delivered much to his people than the president did.
It has nothing to do with APC, but the man himself. He's a true leader!

The resident card would at least help in verifying the legal residents of lagos state. Aliens would have to think twice before coming to lagos. A good security measure!

My friend in USA told me the importance of resident ID card which I think it's merit is beyond measure.

I hope the objective of d residental ID card is achieved.

This innovation is okay.

Fashola did a gr8 job by introducing this.

Nigerians are adamant to change sha.. Y?

Am telling u lagos is really improving.

For all the info & good things that the internet could giv to us, it hurts to see so many brainless pple commenting on something they have no idea about.
Some1 just did something no Nigerian govt have never done & u are here using ur fingers to type rubbish.
To all u is haters, don't be surprises when u see other state govt following is example on this yet again cos he is who he is. A visionary leader & (the man that teaches other governors how to govern)

My brother it is not the card they are afraid of......it's the fear of being asked to leave Lagos. as baseless as the fear stands, you can't help but wonder why igbo people have this fear.

Nice development, but from my point of view I guess a gradual process of segregation is gently brewing. Because a residential card is more like a "residential permit card" which I find on called for. If the remaining 36 states decide to follow suc development ........ You can just imagine.

Just saying doh.

Bros, don't start throwin tribal sentiments around... It's not good for ur health.

People are talking about National Id Card, Voters Card etc. But can some1 answer these lingering questions.

The new National Id Card that people just registered for, when is it going to be out?

The voters card that many Lagosians registered for 4 years ago (including the governor), how many Lagosians have gotten theirs?

Does the use of a State Id card clash with that of a National Id card?

Do the States in this country have access to unfalsified data from the Federal government about residents in the respective states?

Until someone answers these questions, I'll gladly label this as a good move from Fashola

I hope say those wey dey live under bridge go get 2 cos na residence naaah...rubbish

Well done Fashola, good project.

You are wrong. This is the most important thing because it determines what you do, where to spend and what to spend on.


ID system makes it easy to determine how many people to budget and plan for, how many schools to build, how many hospitals you need, how many clinics and health centers, what infrastructures you need, where to site the infrastructures and how often you maintain the infrastructures, determine the number of teachers you need.

Not having accurate data and demographics for proper planing shortchanges you, you either waste money in one area or shortchange and deny other areas because you don't have data, it's like walking blind folded in the dark.

What other nations do to facilitate development and adequately plan for their citizens shouldn't be a bad thing when it comes to your own people.

You people's level of thinking, dark and backward mentality spells doom for your people and unborn generation...

WELL SAID

My friend you see why some of us are offended with the way Lagos & other SW states are been run under APC ?

Just like a SECRET CULT. FOI that suppose to help me ask questions from them was never domesticated.

APC have a lot of dead bodies, skulls & enough skeleton in their cupboard.


kick them OUT NOW!

Obviously, you don't know what the Igbos suffered before the civil war. If some of them feel insecure, they have every right to be and justifiably so too.

Thank you my brother. I shudder at the things people type sometimes.

Seems you're not well informed. Residents of various states here in the USA have their own Id cards. Seek knowledge!

lol...they don't know anything that's why they talk rashly... I remember my cousin telling me he can't study outside Oregon his city of birth cos they charge what they call "out of state fees" which is almost the same as what an international student will pay... I think it's a welcome idea cos it makes things simpler, easy to catch thieves with all their thumbprints and all...now I see why Lagos state university started the forensic undergraduate course...

The national ID card should also be a resident card. It should include where u reside, that's how it's done elsewhere. We just like duplicating n complicating issues in Nigeria. We have national ID card, voters card, residents card very soon we'll have religious card too, no be Naija

It's not a baseless fear at all. If u read the story of the Nigerian civil war u'll understand.
Let me even talk about the one I experienced "oso Abiola" meaning "running cause of Abiola" I was only a child then but I could sense the fear in my family, we had 2 run 2 my hometown cause Lagos became dangerous 4 non-yorubas. It was rumoured that we were going 2 be killed cause d yorubas were angry that Abiola's election was nullified. I remember when we were travelling the roads were very busy cause all igbos were running home out of fear.

Frenchkiss564:
So we will now need a resident card to live in lagos but lagos is no man's land nah

Mumu stay there and don't go and develop your own town, A state with over 100years of traditional leadership,culture,customs and indigenious political structure a no man's land.... Keep living in delusion!!!

So now, person go carry work id card, national id card. Voters id card, drivers license, student id card, and state id card.. person wallet no go fit carry everything o.. na to buy Ghana must go

This is a very good development and is a step closer to irradicating the whole "state of origin"/ indigene/non-indigene" backwardness in Nigeria.

There is value in being resident in a particular place. That is more relevant.

Many places have state I.D's . I have a proof of age card from Western Australia as a state, other states in Australia have their own.

It gives you credible numbers for population, that state govs can work with.

I dont think you understand what a residents card is and how you are determined a resident. It will not be about tribe, but residency, not along the lines of your forefathers or your village or the state that your family is originally from.

It is much more of a reflection on you as an individual. Contrary to what you believe, it will actually officially underpin the belonging of residents in Lagos, regardless of tribe.

Lets suppose (for example), Lagos State determines that you must have been domiciled in Lagos for 1 year to qualify for a resdents card

An Igbo man who has lived for 3 years in Lagos, for example will get his residency card, but a Yoruba man from Oyo state that has just been in lagos for 10 days, will not qualify for a residents card.

Residency cards actually levels populations out and gives equal access to recognition by the state based on factors other than tribal sentiment. Other states should follow suit at some point.

I have noticed most of you commentators on NL don't read to understand most times or rather you think most time with your emotions and hence you reach a predetermined response based on that and then you just comment.

Like I said earlier, the fear most Igbo have about this resident permits is unfounded. I don't see this as a means to chase anybody out of Lagos, as such your rhetoric up their should be directed at them.

The only people who should be scared are the people that actually don't live in Lagos or have residency in Lagos.

I am sure I don't need to state the importance of this project to a state like Lagos.

AS SUCH THIS YOUR REPLY SHOULD BE DIRECTLY TO THAT PARTICULAR GROUP OR TRIBE IN LAGOS THAT SEES EVERY POLICY AIMED AT ASCERTAINING THE TRUE RESIDENTS OF LAGOS AS A PLOT TO CHASE THEM OUT OF LAGOS THEIR OBODO OYINBO.

Fashola is doing the right thing.......i just dey shame for some nigerians...kai!
