Aburo, see me as your NEMESIS henceforth! If you are confused, cursed from birth I, Tomakint will shape you up! Trust me, you can't go on like this in life, and you MUST not die in this present state (state of bitterness and extreme hatred for your fellow human beings) you put yourself

Desola:

... But it has gone far beyond the imaginary igr now, hasn't it. Clearly, the revenues generated is not sufficient to cater for the teaming population and the constant daily influx is becoming alarming. Lagos is the smallest state in the country yet it houses so many people and all these people though not invited to Lagos are now dancing rights to basic amenities and infrastructures which is impossible to be met by the state government.

The sad part is come census, these people return to their states to be counted which translates to undue revenue allocation for their state government yet return to Lagos to encroach us, the bonafide citizens .

Katsumoto:
I am for controlling the growing population in Lagos but not along ethnic lines. The best way to accomplish this task is along economic lines. Lagos has to reduce the size of the underground economy; Fashola has made good progress in this regard.

Then it should introduce taxes intended to discourage immigration to it's borders. For instance, residents who have been paying taxes for 10 years should pay 25% income taxes while new immigrants should pay 35%. This can also be applied to all other consumer and business taxes. The additional revenue can be used to maintain recurrent expenditure, which would be higher given the burden on infrastructure by new immigrants. Mind you, this tax would apply to all, including those from other SW states. Residents can also be issued cards which can be used to consumers at source. Again 10 plus year residents can pay 12% VAT while new immigrants pay 17%.

Lagos can also enter into a partnership with Ogun to build residential estates in Ogun and provide rail between Ogun and commercial centers in Lagos. Businesses can also relocate plants and industrial parks to Ogun leaving Lagos with just office space.
