rhymz: All you see is the pressure on Lagos but you forget that Lagos is a beneficiary of the large population. The fact that people migrate to Lagos and even invest there is a drain to their homestate. IGR that Lagos boasts of is largely from this huge population, so make we hear word jare! Lagos and fashola are overrated, his achievements are not at par with the amount of money that goes into the state's coffers every month, most of the meaningful projects and developments in Lagos are either PPP driven or solely private sector driven. The so-called schools he renovated are just average schools that still do not attract parents. Lagos state still has the largest concentration of private schools and patronage. The qualitity of the new roads being built are in doubt, some of them are already facing rehabilitation repair. And where are the 5000 schools? Abi na for your dreams? You call mere painting and resurfacing building blocks of class rooms. . .hahahah. .guy you dey jones.

ballabriggs:

Lagos does not need people to march from Abakaliki to Alagomeji to sell gala, how the hell does it benefit from such? Lagos does not need the Okada riders leaving Abuja to Lagos? They are not people the state cannot do without, they are a nuisance. You can also tell the British people not to worry about immigration after all immigrants pay tax. Abi no be so? See logic.

IGR? Why has Kano not raised its IGR even with its large population? Raising IGR takes vision, it takes strategy, it takes having a working information management system and that is what Lagos has achieved.

So PPP is not an achievement because state resources are not put into the partnership? Go back to your weed biko.

Abagworo: Let us use common sense and stop all these "I better pass you" arguments. Anambra State for example has more problems than Akwa-Ibom be it infrastructure, population or urbanization. Both Anambra and Akwa-Ibom got 2.7billion as statutory allocation and Anambra is expected to pay the workforce, take care of 3 major cities and higher population. Same is expected of Akwa-Ibom but there is another 11.2billion which is 5 times the income of Anambra State which comes as jara from oil. In assessing the performance of the Governors, I don't see Akpabio as doing well. He has only succeeded in road construction and painting after getting extra 11.2billion monthly for 6years. I believe he is presently Africa's richest man.

thelastPope:

If Fashola has transformed thousands of schools in Lagos, private schools will be dead just like in Edo state. You are a bare faced liar because more private schools are springing up everyday in Lagos and getting serious patronage. You should be sent to jail for lying!

Demdem:

Even here in PH that Amaechi did build wonderful schools in his first tenure, private schools still spring up in doves and in large number. peeps still prefer private schools. It goes beyond the structures lostpope. Its a matter of choice. U cant force me to send my kids to Amaechi schools when i have the financial might to take them to a better one. As it is in lagos so it is here in PH. Private schools is still big business here in PH.

rhymz: so all the pple that migrate to Lagos sell gala and do not add anything to the coffers of Lagos state, what a stoopid assertion to make. You are a joke carried away by emotions and a foolish need to win an argument.

cockyjay: hope what you're showing us is government funded o? Seems i'm seeing one hotel that is probably private. I know very little about AI.

KnowAll:

I agree with 'Abagaro's' argument, you see the 2.7 billion Naira statustory income given to Akaw Ibom can be use to for Infrastrutural development without a penny of that money stolen. But 1/2 of the 11.2 BILLION they get from derivatives might all be going to his pocket. Whilst the other Governor's of non-oil producing state would have to manage their mearge amount by stealing some, showing some development strides, and paying wages the south-south Governor's have a monopoly of un-precedented and unchequered stealing.

IS it any wonder that Odili is the man behind 'Arik' or the rumour that Rotimi Amechi has 2 refineries in Ghana, or better still Sylivia's confistiated houses hitting the headlines recently. Akapbio give or take is one of the richest Nigerians, if all funds accrued to the state are spent judiciously and with a population of 3 million people, that place would be Eldorado. You will think 'Eldorado' does not exist, but give those funds to a sefless man and see eldorado emerge from the swamps of the Niger Delta.

afam4eva:
Someone once told me that Fashola has built school ll over the state and when i asked the person to list these schools and their location, he went numb.

I don't know where these renovated schools are located and i'm sure you also don't know. I've gone round a lot of public schools in Lagos and i can tell you that they're in deplorable condition. Even Tinubu's tenure achieved more in terms of education in Lagos state through the Millenium schools all over Lagos.

These achievements you're listing for Fashola are commonplace in other states and are not things you'll use to rate Fashola high especially based on the fact that he's the governor of a state like Lagos.

That notwithstanding, i think Fashola has done well in some areas especially in bringing sanity and enforcing laws in Lagos.

BabaTony:

Do people think befor they type at all? So because your anambra has self inflicted problems it should receive more money while akwa ibom should receive less abi? Silly real silly . You are saying also that akwa ibom oil money is awuf money abi?, thunder fire ur eye there. For ur information it is just 13 percent who is spending the other 87 percent. God punish you! Leave akwa ibom alone enuf of all these jealousy. Akwa ibom is on the right track.there is no neede for the comparison. Every state should deal with its problems.

Abagworo:

I'm from Imo State. My point is that there is nothing to show for the extra 12billion he has received monthly for the past 6years. Attah performed better when you compare. To whom much is given, much is expected. None of those roads is worth 12billion.

Eko Ile: Delta state's budget for 2012 = 361.

Delta state's population 3-4 million


Delta state is 4 times richer than Lagos state, but still nothing to show from UDUAGHAN, Ibori and others combined...

rhymz: Eko Ile na wa for you sha. . .how is Delta State richer than Lagos na. Delta collects 16billion monthly and Lagos collects 10billion monthly plus the huge 23billion they get from IGR. Even with aids agency for the Niger deltan states like NDDC and co, Delta state does not get up to 15billion with all that combined besides the monthly allocation. I know you are passionate about your points and views but please stop making random statements and quotations you can't prove with facts and real figures. Lagos today still remains the richest Nigerian state, oil derivation or not. You call these other states richer because they get way higher amount through their derivations not neccessarily because they are rich per se, no need to exaggerate and make suggestive statements that do not have facts. Whatever accusations you have for AKS government should also be extended to Fashola's government, period. Enough of the Lagos propaganda machine. You keep talking about how Lagos has 20million people, do you realy believe that crap? You are so eager to quote 4-5million population given by the Nigerian census board for AKS but fail to do thesame for Lagos whose population figure they put at around 10million. Stop with the eaxggerations abeg. Lagos do not have up to 20million people, the small Land area of Lagos state seems to give the wrong impression that its population is that much, it is common sense my guy, with its small landmass, and high population figure, high population densities will be recorded in most of its area, does not neccessarily mean people are as much as exaggerated. Take that same population figure of Lagos and spread it across AKS that is like more than twice the Land area of Lagos state and you will get an entirely different impression of the actual population. So stop hinging your argument on population like Lagos is some shanghai, Mumbai or California city with both large mass and population. Again, I am going to say it, there is just as much corruption in Fashola's government as there is in Godswill Akpabio's. They have both done their bit but their is not totally the best we can get. I will rate chime higher than the both of them, seriously. Until there is a commensurate evidence of development with the huge sums the both get then tell your tales to the pope he prolly will believe all that sugar-coated propaganda.

Eko Ile:


You mean I need to go to akwa to see more than the images you people are switching over and reposting in this thread? i don't think so.

That man is fleecing that state astronomically it's unbelievable.

Let me teach you a little something about simple math in proportion to service deliver..


Lagos N497 billion/20 million with huge responsibilities and infrastructures to build and maintain.

Akwa Ibom N459 billion/3 million low responsibilities and infrastructures to build and maintain.

So do the math against what's in Akwa and the images in this thread.

djustice:

I hope you shake that your empty head till it falls off. Enemy of progress. Of course you can now see that your beloved Fashola, whose ass you've been sucking for the last few years, is actually brain-dead.

If you compare the federal allocation, IGR nko? Lagos takes in more net revenue than Akwa Ibom. Way more. And yet all we get is tired propaganda from you and your houseboy governor. Sir Werey!!
