Granted it's great to be proud of your tribe and state especially if it's prosperous but read your comment again...it is absolutely senseless.

Lawyers and threats. Why no first get a court order to prevent the government from being able to implement those ridiculous charges, and then start negotiations, instead of issuing threats like NASU and NURTW?

waldigit:


You have a point here. As an expert in urban development it necessary for Lagos manager not to throw caution to wind because they want mega city. No city can sustain itself without support from hinterland.
There is a theory we call Walter Crysterler theory of city hinterland interelationships. Unfortunately we have leaders who believe in Island of prosperity amidst ocean of poverty. This concept in us prevent us from having the big picture National development in view when making policies. This is premise for even our religious disposition of prosperity gospel.

The people supporting this rubbish ate not in Lagos.

When is Nigeria ever gonna be one. When are Nigerians ever gonna unite.
I read through all the comments and majority of them reeds tribalism. Instead of adults to proffer solution, they were busy making it seem like a Yoruba -Igbo thing.

To think that there are other tribes living in Lagos too, majority of the Igbos think they are always in competition with the Yorubas.

The common problem is the unrealistic increment in LUC, let's just find a way to get the govt to reverse it. Stop ranting as if Yorubas are exempted.

How many Yoruba get land for Lagos ? With reasonable structures
You will not believe how far your people has gone in selling Lagos to the Igbos . That's what Ambode is fighting as we speak.
Atleats if the government can not stop it let them benefit from it.

The land use charge is a valid law in Lagos. Whoever owns a landed property in Lagos is under obligation to pay. Any non Yoruba that is not willing to pay should move his/her property out of Lagos. Nobody is forcing non Yoruba's to remain in Lagos compulsory.

Na Benin get Lagos Jor...make u no dey shout Yoruba land up and down... u no go collect ilorin back from Fulani dey claim Lagos

No doubt everybody including the few Yoruba property owners in Lagos will also pay any proposed tax, but good planners like those in bigger cities like London, NYC, and even Atlanta will think about long term consequences of any plan.

You can't push for Yorubaism in Lagos, and at the same time maintain or expand your tax base that includes the very other people you're trying to exclude.

Someone should tell the mentally retarded governor that there's a reason why most World big cities have 4-5 language interpretation services at every public place, because they want to make people feel welcome.
People spend money and pay taxes when they feel welcome. Especially, since he likes the money.

The law is targeted at homeowners not some hustlers owing house rent, but you are free to relocate to
your village in protest.

LaudableXX:

Don't be silly. When a landlord is hit with an increase of 400% in his Land Use Charge, on a property he has rented out to tenants, where do you think he will recoup the increase from, if he does not increase his annual rental fees? Or do you expect him to steal to pay the increase in rates?

Ralphdan:
This is why most companies are off to Ogun state .They should make it 10000000% even.

naijaking1:
This governor is not realistic. You can't enforce Yoruba language on every Lagosian, "it's a Yoruba city", and you turn around to enforce oncreased taxation on non-Yoruba citu dwellers. That's retarrrrdwd.

xcolanto:
Good news!!
When reasonable people were speaking against this devilish bill from hell, afonjas thought we were hating on their no mans land.
The bill makes no sense and must be resisted by all well meaning lagosians.

iaatmguy:
people from the land of erosion are here again.
Lagos belongs to yorubas. Get that in your envy filled cone head.

iaatmguy:
your choice of utilizing your thinking capabilities amazes one, so you mean only " none lagosians" would pay the charge. SMH

NBA is obviously not serious. If they are so pained about the law, they should challenge it in court instead of threatening to embark on a protest that will achieve nothing.

Lagos belongs to the federal government.
The day it says all Yoruba's should leave Lagos, you must leave that place or you think APC will last till 2025?

Dumb skull

Other state governments re watching..
The worst is that your tribe are even too afraid to talk
