BEAUTIFUL STATES WITH HUNGRY AND UGLY PEOPLE

My elder sister called me yesterday morning and narrated the robbery incident which took place in their house over the night. The armed robbers didn't take it slow,they are young,sound educated but brutal. In the course of the robbery,they shot her husband twice in the chest and catered away with valuables resources.

My sister was devastated,confused and disturbed as she speaks with tears,she explained that she was spared because she was not inside the room when they came in as she had gone to the toilet when they arrived. She explains that as they came in,she was unable to move a bit from her position as she was so afraid,she lye down flat praying inside the bathroom since she could do nothing about it.

According to her,the robbers came in through the window numbering abut 4 with locally made guns.

After the departure of the robbers,she ran out and seek help from their neighbors who assisted her. Her husband was rushed to the General Hospital and undergone a surgery yesterday night.

The insecurity is getting out of hand as the youths have no jobs,they rely on crime like robbery,419,yahoo yahoo and many more to survive whereby inflicting pains on others.

Virtually every state government today in Nigeria is concentrating on beautifying the state,doing flashy things to attract passerby,thing that in reality didn't positively affect the lives of the people as much as it is destroy it. They busy creating more hardship,demolishing people's houses and place of business without making alternative option. Even the people who should condemn such governance would praise the government because the negativity of the policies didn't affect them.

The champion of such policies are the FG,Lagos state government and others who take pleasure in making people go jobless in the name of beautifying the state. But i ask, How does a beautiful state affect an hungry man or woman positively? Why should we commend a governor beautifying a state without beautifying the people living in it? why should the people go hungry because the cities want to be developed? Infrastructure would fade,but the people would always remain. The Lagos State Government currently announced its banning of Okada Riders,what a government. What do you expect the riders to be doing? Join the Robbers. Nigeria currently have million of unemployed youths,those who helped themselves by riding Okada to make a living are about to be made unemployed again.

Stop celebrating mediocrity as good governance,Stop justifying wickedness as available option,Stop supporting the government when destroying people's mean of livelihood,Stop creating more hardship in the Land. If You can not provide jobs for the youths,stop taking the one they created for themselves,they deserve a life just as you Mr Governor.

Thank God that the surgery was successful and it was reported to me that he his recovering this morning.

so in short Government should be blamed for armed robberies?

Majority of Nigerians have at one point in time gone through some sort of hardship. What we are seeing is a failed society and misplacement of role models.
These yahoo-yahoo boys don't do it because they are hungry, if that was the motive they could get a job in a fast food restaurant.
These armed robbers don't rob because they need to pay school fees, they could easily get a part time gig going on selling air time. No these low-lifes do it because they want to be reckoned with.

everybody in today's Nigeria has a misplaced sense of entitlement which you can blame those prosperity pastors to their delinquent upbringing. After all charity begins at home

Guy, you are fond of all these indirect attacks on Fashola. Let the PDP-led federal Government be sincere for once in it's wretched existence. Let it acknowledge the real population of Lagos, for a start, and treat the State accordingly !!! Let the FG grant Lagos special status , as many non-partisan expert are demanding, and stop treating her like a leper merely because she is in the hands of the 'opposition'.

You love simplistically blaming Fashola for everything yet how about being fair to the man for once? Why will there not be hungry youths and unemployed folks everywhere when the FG officially put the population of Lagos at 9 million while we all know Fashola, in reality, is trying to cater for the needs of at least 17 million people!!!! Come on guy, this sort of self-419 and self-sabotage is not done anywhere else in the world. Give unto Caesar what is Caesar's. If our politics was not full of feudalists and opportunists with no vision, then Lagos should be getting far more support than it currently does. It is good , in life, to appreciate that what is fair is fair.

Giving Lagos a special status
on AUGUST 4, 2011 · in VIEWPOINT

LAGOS is presently experiencing such phenomenal population explosion that it is being projected to be the third largest megacity in the world by 2015.

Many are of the view that despite the 10 million figure declared by the National Population Commission in the last census exercise, the city’s best possible population is 40 million. Whereas the annual population growth in the developing world is three per cent and Nigeria’s is 2.7 per cent, that of Lagos stands at a stunning eight per cent and is likely to accelerate.

The state’s landmass is rather small by Nigerian standard (Kano State which officially has about the same population is about four times in landmass). As if to aggravate the situation, a considerable part of the metropolis is covered by water, a situation that complicates its infrastructural needs.

The Lagos transformation project needs an enormous financial requirement, far beyond the capacity of the state government. Governor Babatunde Fashola recently revealed that a sum of N6.14 trillion is needed to build and upgrade infrastructural facilities in the state in the next 15 years! This, then, is the significance of the call for the state to be accorded a special status by the Federal Government.

Lagos, with over 128,000 workers (representing various ethnic groups) in its employment, apart from the Federal Government, remains the greatest employer of labour in the country. Ironically, many of the states in the country with lesser population and infrastructural needs receive same monthly federal allocation as Lagos.

The special position of Lagos as the commercial nerve centre of Nigeria, and indeed West Africa, has its peculiar infrastructural challenges. Its sheer human density driven by an increasing population due to endless survival and economic driven immigration, its ports and waterways, its border with Benin Republic, its high concentration of banks, industries, companies, and other commercial enterprises makes it a very complex state to govern.

Being the pane through which the whole world views the country, granting a special status to Lagos remains the best possible way to drive Nigeria’s development as Lagos is the country’s most industrialised city with needs that align with its growth.

No nation grows by treating the needs of its golden geese with discomfiture since the future growth of the country’s economy is tied to the development of Lagos which hosts over 85 per cent of Nigeria’s industrial hub, over 65 per cent of its financial nucleus and over 75 per cent of its active workforce.

With each day, the population and needs of Lagos continue to increase to reflect this important role. As the economic capital of Nigeria, Lagos has been the first port of call for eager millions of youths from all parts of the country who long for means of survival from the uncertainties of a struggling economy like ours.

Presently, it is obvious that the monthly allocation it receives from the Federation Account as well as its internally generated revenue is not enough to meet the developmental needs of the state. Regrettably, the Federal Government’s inability to discharge its infrastructural responsibilities to Lagos, over the years, has further worsened the situation.

The National Assembly Complex at Tafawa Balewa Square, the National Stadium, Surulere, the Federal Secretariat, Ikoyi and the Apapa-Oshodi Expressway, to mention just a few, laid credence to this.

When the FCT was moved from Lagos to Abuja, there was a subsisting agreement that the city would not be abandoned. Indeed, the late General Murtala Mohammed acknowledged the onerous nature of the responsibility of leaving Lagos alone to deal with the burden of infrastructure the FG were leaving behind then, bearing in mind that if Lagos hadn’t been the federal capital, it probably would not have been having these problems.

In fact, five cities; Enugu, Port-Harcourt, Ibadan, Kaduna and Lagos were later designated as ‘Centres of Excellence’ by the Murtala Administration as part of a plan to make them cities of pride by the Federal Government.

However, successive Federal Governments have refused to take a cue from countries which relocated their national capitals without abandoning infrastructural development of the former capitals. It is now time for Nigeria to imitate Germany, Brazil, Malaysia, Australia and Tanzania, which, after relocating their capitals, did not hold back developmental programmes targeted at the former capitals.

From 1954 to 1994, the capital of Germany was Bonn. It was moved to Berlin, following the endorsement of the ‘agreement of movement’ which spelt out the responsibilities of German government for the maintenance of the old capital and which it has been meeting conscientiously. Also, Brazil moved its capital from Rio-de’janero to Brasilia. Till date, all federal roads, buildings and other infrastructure in both cities are maintained simultaneously by the central government. Malaysia has also maintained two capitals.

Its old capital, Kaura-Lampur, has been retained as the legislative capital, where the National Assembly operates. Its new capital, Putrajaya, which is the most computerized city in the world, is the administrative capital. In Australia, the old capital, Sidney, still enjoys special recognition. Although Campera is the new capital, most activities of government, international conferences, party conventions and meetings still hold in the former capital city.

The former capital of Tanzania is Dar-es-Salam. When Dodoma became the new capital, the old capital did not suffer neglect. The Federal Government should take a cue from these examples by according Lagos a deserving special status.

The Lagos State government, in the last 12 years, has invested a huge amount of money on infrastructural development, especially construction of drainages, durable roads, beautification and restoration of parks to forestall the negative impact of flooding, erosion and other environmental hazards.

However, these efforts are not enough for obvious reasons. Today, Lagos handles about 9,000 metric tons of refuse daily, more than what the whole of Ghana is generating. The branch networks that some banks have in Lagos outstrip what they have in the whole country. A recent study reveals that over 25,000 people from across the world move into Lagos for various reasons on a daily basis.

The need to accord a special status for Lagos is a non-political project. An investment in Lagos is a necessary blueprint for the development of the country.



Mr. TAYO OGUNBIYI works with the Ministry of Information and Strategy, Alausa., Lagos.

Government can only create a limited amount of jobs. Unless they want to employ people to do nothing. The beautification employs many lagosians who tend the gardens as you might notice. That said, good government policies will attract investors. Truth be told, without constant electricity, employment generation in Nigeria is a pipe dream. Also access to cheap capital for investors.
If you want to know the truth, poor access to cheap capital and power issues is what is causing unemployment in Nigeria. Both are out of the hands of the state governors.

Gbawe: Guy, you are fond of all these indirect attacks on Fashola. Let the PDP-led federal Government be sincere for once in it's wretched existence. Let it acknowledge the real population of Lagos, for a start, and treat the State accordingly !!! Let the FG grant Lagos special status , as many non-partisan expert are demanding, and stop treating her like a leper merely because she is in the hands of the 'opposition'.

You lagosians are so myopic and self absorbed that you think the rest of Nigeria revolves round you.

Without oil money there wouldn't have been a Port and every infrastructure you boast off.

Why should Lagos get any more? Isn't it the same ACN that is openly trying to decongest Lagos with harsh anti-people policies?

The minute you realize that all of Lagos problems are not from the central government but from 13yrs of failed ACN leadership which is ever ready to point the finger to the centre, the sooner you will begin to let the scales fall from your very eyes.

who said Lagos state has 9million population? common.. stop this...the number of registered voters in Lagos before the 2011 election was 9million or 11million, i cant remember,and if 9 million or 11 million people could register to vote,Lagos would have around the 17million you said or more,due to the fact that we have more young people in the country..

I am not attacking Fashola, believe me, i am only not in support of most of his policies which is circled around inflicting more pains of the poor in the name of beautifying a state.

This is not a question of "Nigeria revolving around Lagosians". It is about a basis sense of equity and fair play in federal Governance. You obviously don't get that. Read the article.

Lagos has had her own share of resources and all of it was wasted and what we have now is obviously the most insecure and ugliest city in the world.

Go and find out what the last National population census of 2006 produced as the official population of lagos. I don't know why folks are so scared of basic research to the extent they are happier to speak ignorantly in suggesting others are wrong. Lagos is officially 9 million approx according to our last census. In fact, let me help you out.

we are no longer in 2006.. the number of registered voters in lagos in 2011 is 9 or 11 million.. how will government use the 2006 to conclude.. and besides, did Lagos Government complain about that? the number is not any problem,but the management which is not based on equity,equality and justice...

i am not blaming Lagos state alone from the post,it include the federal Government aswell as other states.. So why are you guys making it seems as if i am talking about Lagos.. i only made reference to Lagos because of the ongoing ban on Okada as a current example

Lagos did complain ... vehemently at that too. They are still complaining today and trying , legally, to put things right because of how important to the state this issue is. When you don't even know that much, is it not time to admit your perspective is faulty by default? I followed issues closely back then. You are also wrong to assume the 2006 figures are not being used. Why do you think Government spend so much on General census? To discard the figurses within a year? Government plan and base decisions/policies on the latest demographic figures available. There are no provisions for using unofficial estimates in Statecraft in place of latest official figures !!!! They can only include figures of estimated population growth but that too will be wrong since the original figure of 9 million is wrong. When the FG makes decisions about Lagos, they will use the 2006 census figures and they may loosely factor in population growth estimates. Many of us followed issues back then i.e 2006 to note OBJ deliberately endorsed false figures he knows will cheat Lagos till the next census. It has always been so. Simple as that. Please argue along another line.

I hope you will read the article below to get a sense of perspective. I have produced excerpts to give you a hint as to why Kano is ludicrously "counted" as more populous than Lagos in the Arena of cheating and protection of vested interest called Nigeria.

Fair Distribution of Resources

Another reason the census results stir up emotions is Nigerians' history of arguing over resource allocation. Census numbers in Nigeria guide political redistricting for each of the country's 36 states, the distribution of federal funds, and even civil service hiring.8 However, historically, southerners tend to think resources are not distributed equitably. For instance, more than 90 percent of the country's revenue comes from oil in the south, but the north controls about 55 percent of Nigeria's revenue. 9 Visitors notice that it takes longer to travel the same distance in the south than in the north, where roads are in much better shape, says Newby, who spent eight months in Nigeria.

2006 Census: Lagos Raises Fresh Evidence to Dispute Figures


From Tobi Soniyi in Abuja
04 Oct 2010


Lagos State has raised fresh evidence in support of its claim that the population of the state is more than the 9,113,605 recorded for it by the Nigerian Population Commission after the 2006 head count.

The state has also recruited the services of six leading law firms in Nigeria to prosecute its complaints before the Census Tribunal sitting in Abuja. The law firms are Simon Coopers, Elias and Co., Femi Okunnu, M. A. Bashua, Kola Awodein and Sofunde, Belgore and Osakwe.

The fresh evidence which Lagos has since filed before the tribunal showed that the population of the state should have been within the range of 13 million to 19 million.

In its complaint before the tribunal, Lagos said, "After the release of the report of the census exericse Lagos State Government engaged the services of Romis Consultants Limited a reputable Statistic, Data Analyst and Demography company to analyse the result returned for Lagos State on local government areas basis, which it did and submitted its report to the state government.

"That the report of the consultant revealed that, the result released for Amuwo Odofin Local Government area is inacurate, false and inconsitent with the actual figure of people living or counted in the local government area as well as all known demography indices."

It said that NPC did not create adequate enumeration areas and that the enumerators sent to the state were inadequate.The state said it had discovered that 90 enumeration maps which contained relevant data of many houses for thousands of lagosians were missing from NPC's records, with the effects that those houses in various parts of the state were not marked or listed for the enumeration exercise and thus the people inhabiting the houses were not counted.


The state said that NPC did not take cognizance of the megalopolis status of Lagos by which international organisations have described the city and expressed the fears that in the next five years, it would become one of the most thickly populated cities in the world.

It relied on a report of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) released in 2001 which put the population of Lagos at 13.4 million at that time.

"Given the visible demographic, biological and social parameteres on ground in the state, the population was expected to increase to well over 17 million in eight year," it added.

It said, "A lot of researches have been carried out globally that associated high demographic value to the population of Lagos State.

"By its 1999 Revision, World Urbanization Prospects, a respected International Publication of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs Population Division, it asserted that Lagos is the only Mega City in Nigeria with a population figure above the 10 million mark."

The new evidence being raised by the state may have come a little too late as the NPC asked the tribunal not to allow it because it was filed out of time.

NPC's counsel, Chief Mike Ahamba SAN said that the amendment which Lagos was seeking was caught by the provisions of Paragraph 15(1) of the 3rd Schedule to the National Population Commission Act which forbids substantial amendment to a complaint once the time to file a complaint has lapsed.

But Professor Yemi Osinbajo SAN, who argued the state's application to amend the complaint said that the amendment was not substantial.

He also argued that NPC did not have anything to lose if the amendment was allowed. Rather, it would allow the tribunal to do substantial justice to the state's complaints.

The tribunal which has as its chairman Mrs. Ifenyinwa Obegolu has adjourned ruling on whether to accept the amendment or not to November 17th 2010.

One thing is clear, Fashola needs to slow down with his beautification Policies. There is no doubt about the fact that Lagos has been and is being cheated, but in terms of utilization of what is available, i think he should slow down with his pursuance of policies and projects that seeks to beatify Lagos at the expense of better standard of living of its inhabitant.

While the Lagos State Governmet Complain,it should not inflict delibrate pain on the people in the name of fixing te problem... Beautify the people not the state.

i've said it before that Fashola's policies doesn't necessarily favour the less privileged majority. his dreams of a state-of-the-art megacity sometimes conflict with the true needs of the populace, majirity of who are living below poverty line. i still rate him higher than some governors tho.

bilms: who said Lagos state has 9million population? common.. stop this...the number of registered voters in Lagos before the 2011 election was 9million or 11million, i cant remember,and if 9 million or 11 million people could register to vote,Lagos would have around the 17million you said or more,due to the fact that we have more young people in the country..

I am not attacking Fashola, believe me, i am only not in support of most of his policies which is circled around inflicting more pains of the poor in the name of beautifying a state.

6,108,069 people in Lagos registered to vote in 2011.

It's called window dressing...No government wants to invest in people because they think if they do, p0eople will not notice that they've done something. Instead they plunder the state resources by building outlandish white elephant projects that have no bearing on the ordinary citizen.

danjohn:

those are the people that voted

@Gbawe, is this thread about an attack on Fashola The op in his post mentioned the fg, lagos and other states on how bad our society has degenerated to cos of visionless of our leaders. Don't let fanaticism and bigotry get to u cos dats what destroyed an intelligent and an otherwise sound mind like beaf here on nairaland.

The OP is well know for singling out Fashola unreasonably. Shortly before this thread, he started the thread linked below.

https://www.nairaland.com/1082606/fashola-reasonable-atleast-once

.... and this other one which demonstrates his disposition for linking Fashola with negatives. Why not simply urge Mimiko to keep up the pace without mentioning Fashola?

That is incorrect. 1,945,044 people in Lagos voted in the presidential election.

Too many long comments on this very thread. Hush...

@gbawe,dont mispost. If you want to comment on the issue i raised about fashola,do it on the right thread,you can't turn this thread to fashola's thread cos its not. And if i raise an issue abt him,it is not an attack,but to state the obvious.

What's the op saying?

He seems disjointed.

Are you complaining about the menace of armed robbery in nigeria, or are you annoyed about the environment being beautified and cleaned up?

I can conclude the OP is dumb.

His assertions are majorly false, even the ones he can get at the press of a button.

If you can not get facts and figures right, how then do you analyse it?

I like the way the Yoruba people like Gbawe believe that oyel money stolen from us should be dashed to them because according to them there are a lot of people in their states. All the while saying things like " resource control is not necessary". Is it not this same need to steal oyel money that made gbawe, tinumbu and co so desperate to remove Mimiko?

bilms:

so because of beautification and okada ban, you went that far to say your sister or na anty's husband was shot twice in the chest. Haabaa!!! Be carefull what you wish for.

I guess that the flowers and the green trees planted in the enviroment is what you are refering to, if so please go and read about it's inportance in our enviroment especialy city like lagos which emite large amount of CO2, SO2, CFC and lead compound from our outdated cars and equipments before you display your ignorance publicly.

No wonder peaple used to call Nigerians educated illitrate, i guess it's because of peaple like you.
