We are both saying the same thing, but you just see it from a different point of view.

You said Lagos gets the highest revenue which is exactly same thing I'm saying.

Despite having the highest revenue, they are the most indebted state. Isn't that an irony

Don't think Tinubu and his stooges brought development to Lagos because Lagos has been developed far before Tinubu became a governor. He only came to reap where he didn't sow.

Talking about my state, Give my state Governor, Willie Obiano same revenue and watch him turn Anambra around.
Gracias!

If the South-South and Lagos state have had the worst governors then who do you think has the best?

I'm genuinely curious because Lagos generates more IGR than the entire North and has a GDP that is double that of Kenya's.

Beesluv:
Hope they will rebuild it as soon as possible. Man seriously needs source of income in this recession era

Seems Ambode is more concerned about beauty than economic development


So many news about demolition but few about economic development.

Lagos has never had a good governor.

In my opinion, they are _fucking over hyped... Tinubu, Fashola and Ambode can only be rivaled by south south governors when it comes to worst governors ever

Excess IGR and federal allocation. What does Lagos have to show for it... Highest debt in Nigeria

The ipob yoot below me will always see tribal sentiment in every news

TheMascot:
of course they will have the highest debt..every government runs on debt..some of them are PPP and uncompleted projects like the eko Atlantic city.. others are capital projects, wait..because USA is richer than Nigeria do you think they are not in more debt then we are? even in football real Madrid is rich but still have one of the highest debts..the point is the higher you earn the higher your responsibilities..the more servants you have to pay, the more social amenities you have to provide..it's called Government..your state creates more revenue than Kogi right? check and see who has higher debt before the bailout came

XXLDICK:


Lagos having the highest IGR wasn't done by the governors. Lagos has always had the highest IGR since when it the capital of Nigeria.

For best governors look and the core north and south east. Though they are all mediocre but look at what they do with little IGR and allocation. They are the least indebted states in Nigeria

Statsocial:

Lol how can we give you Lagos revenue. U for go take New York own sef. Lagos has the highest igr but not highest federal allocation. So admit when you are wrong

You dismiss Lagos's high IGR - can you explain why Kano's is so low? It's an ancient city that was once a thriving trade city, allegedly.

In order to acquire debt you must have assets and revenue to borrow against. Having low debt is not an achievement.

Nigeria needs roads, schools, hospitals and educational facilities - this is especially true of the core north where there is a serious problem with poverty and illiteracy.

freeborn76:


They are the least indebted because they do not have any project to execute. When a government is building a 4th Mainland Bridge, building a 10 lane Badagry Expressway, running a fully-functional Export Processing Zone, building rail projects and expanding the city through new super highways in Ikorodu, Epe and Badagry, then such state cannot but be indebted. Your state is 'debt free' because the highlight of your year is the new yam festival that gulps 30% of the budget...abeg leave us alone in Lagos and focus on your debt free state.

XXLDICK:

Which schools, hospitals and education facilities were built by Tinubu, Fashola or Ambode

For roads, I'm yet to see any state that stands Kano.

The major problem of the core north isn't bad governance but conservative religion

Lagos is the smallest state in Nigeria, I wonder why such huge amount of money spent on such a tiny land mass has little to show for it.

Most northern state are over 10 times the size of Lagos

Go to kano state and see bridges that took a short while to complete.

Lagos hasn't gone half way with her railway after close to a decade. Haba.

Go to the north and see good roads.

The 10 lane badagry express way is partly funded by ECOWAS.

Same with the railway

SexyBabe001:
The Lagos state government task force on Saturday 7th Jan., 2017 demolished the popular Oshodi market. The market has been the target the government in remodeling it into a world class market area, traders were seen salvaging some of their wares as the demolition continues. See more pictures below..

Lagos doesn't have the same education deficit that Kano or Kaduna suffer from. There are sufficient schools in Lagos when one takes into account the vast array of private schools. The same cannot be said for the core north.

AKS has much better roads than Kano, likewise southern Cross River.

Lagos has good roads on the island, the mainland is improving under this governor.

Why do you detach the bad governance from the conservative religion when the two go together? Are the state governments still not wasting money on state sponsored hajj? Could that money not be better spent on education? Do any of the governors speak out against the religious handicap that the people are forced to labor under?

Which northern governors do you believe to be 'good' and why?

freeborn76:


Why don't you relocate to Kano then and let us have one less person in Lagos?

Lagos has a population of close to 21 million people on about 4000 sq.km. Despite the fact that majority of Lagos' inhabitants are not indigenous to the state, it provides free healthcare, free education and unbiased social service to all who call the city home; unlike other states who retrench workers from neighboring states because they are 'non-indigenes'. You mention Kano, but forget to mention that unlike Lagos, its developmental concentration is in Kano Metropolis and not the entire state. You mention good roads and fail to mention the impact 30 years of military rule had on infrastructural imbalance between the North and South...

No matter what anybody says, if you are truly a Lagosian like me or you call Lagos home, you would agree that the Lagos of 1999 is not the Lagos of today...take a few seconds to playback the Lagos of 1999 and you would see how far we have come... Eko baje ti!

XXLDICK:

Virtually almost all states in Nigeria (if not all) offer free schooling and health care

No state benefited half of what Lagos benefited in the 30 years military rule and you know That.

Most development in Lagos from 1999 are private sector driven.

AbuHammaad:


Private sector will only invest if the government creates the enabling environment and infrastructure. This is a state that was denied FA for years and still managed to pay salaries

Give credit to whom it's due.

davodyguy:


Development in a chaotic atmosphere? Where's that obtainable?

With the stupid man hours wasted daily along Agege Motor due to that market, how's that contributing to economic development?
