Duke, you're a State Governor for 8 years, please sir, what did you do in that state to prevent Lagos from collapsing? Talk is cheap, they say,so talk on.
I guess u didn't know Cross-River state before Duke became a governor, if you did I believe you would have understood his point,his transformation has since been unbeatable, if not for the morons that took over from him that allowed the state to degenerate to its present state, Cross-River should have been a London.

hmmm, why can't you children talk without revealing the kind of background you come from? there is so much hope for you from what Duke left behind in Cross River, that's why he's having orgasm over Lagos.

Tell the fg to put an international airport and seaport in the east and ss and the population of Lagos will reduce. Many people trooping to Lagos to do their business was because of lack of federal present in their region.
and what makes you think the South-southern and southern eastern governors can't form a power bloc and integrate economically,i mean jointly putting infrastructure like ,rails,roads,seaports,bridges school,why can't they what the likes of AMOSUN is trying to do, taking advantage of boxing Lagos to the sea instead of giving flipant excuses,they should all stop that silly Ego of "we developed lagos and Nigeria"and get to work,if you are not faithful with a Kobo,will you be with 10 Naira??And we shout all day.,Tinubu would have cried "yee mokuoooo" during the days of F.G'S starvation but he thought outside the box and today,now his successors are basking and improving on it,when will every villages in Nigeria be represented in In East and south-south,if given mantle of leadership today,who are the ones that will stand tall amongst those Governor to take Mantle?.less of Cry,more of WORK Biko.

Thank you dear if there is much federal present in every region for example Niger delta region all the multinational oil companies will have there headquarters there likewise the Se region and doing so people will troop out of Lagos making the state to be decongested.
Nigerdelta people chased oil companies away with their own hands!

1.Lagos traffic

Heaven knows these is one of the hellish and most annoying thing Lagosian go through daily,all the road are either bad or being in the state of comatose for more than a year due to reconstructuring and slow executions of projects by hes croonics called contractors.

how do you explain the traffic on the island and mainland,u spend most of your time on traffic,you wonder what happen to the fear of lasma we have during fashola regime,all you see is danfo drivers picking and causing traffic in all bus stops.

2.Refuse

lagos has turn to what i called a bin,no street in lagos you will pass through where there will not be gabbages of rubbish in streets,highways etc,he he is clueless on managing waste that was going on fine during fashola era,Ambode gave expatriate to manage the waste in his state these can only be said of someone who is clueless.

3. Infrastructures.

forget all the Elephant project,Ambode is looting Lagos dry,no accountable on all the project in lagos,is either those projects are over budgeted or projected in a manner that one will wonder what's going on,remember Abule Egba bridge and Ojota pedestrian bridge this is just one of those project,and someone should tell him o stop buying generators to power those street,a sensible and visionary leaders envisage and solve problems that may arise in the future not buying generators to police and adding to global warming.

4.Education.

i have not seen anything in these area,Ambode still enjoy all the policies Fashola put into place,fashola build and renovated all the public schools and created some learning and research centres for children with special attributes,but ambode seems not to understand that Lagos populace needs more and viable world class education centres to meet up with the rest of the world.

Amdode has no idea to turn the education of the state around,go to some public school today it will suprise you that some don't have chairs they sit on floor to attends to lectures.


5.Electricity

someone should educate mr Ambode that the whole body of lagos is covered with water,and there is something they called Hydro thermal energy,these can generate more than 34,000 megawatts of electricity and he can sell to neighboring state and earn more money,he should stop buying generators to power all the street light in lagos,this is 2017 for heaven sake the arctic ice is melting,there is global warming he should meet professionals,a nuclear fusion reactors that can be easily shut down by water can serve the whole nation instead of waiting for the unfortunate people at the senate to pass a bill on devolutions of electricity bill that will never see the light of the day.

6.Employment

The lagos state govermnet website advertised some opening recently i will ask how many people was able to apply and get the job,he favored hes croonics,party cheiftance favored the meneber of hes church,no JOB is thrown at the masses,he recruited LASMA recently,where are they today,now neighborhood watch,he waste so much on unproductive projects,most of these projects also take eternity before execution.

Go to street of lagos all you see are hungry and angry youth roaming the street,cos no job which has already paved way to differnet crime in the state,he should come up with idea to employ the common man on the street not all these unproductive job that add nothing to the state.

7.Health.

lagos still don't have viable health scheme,go to our various hospital you will be amazed and cry for us as a nation's,no tools to work on,no word class health equipments you buy bed space,you pay for everything,annoying thing is they fly abroad if they have malaria,lagosian should be wise and these issues of God father has to stop,vote for a sensible and visionary leaders that will add value to your life

Your assertions here are all twisted and does not represent the truth about Lagos.

I would not claim that Lagos have the best of these infrastructures in the world, but the state is doing its best based on the resources available to it and the more than 24 million people it had to cater for.

In Lagos, civil servants and teachers are well caterd for. Graduates earn about N150,000 in the civil service and teaching.

The public schools are very good and well equipped, although they are very few compared to the population. Most Lagosians send their kids to private schools.

The public health system have since been modernized, very clean and fully staffed, though more are still required because of the growing population.

New dual carriageway roads are presently being constructed to open up Epe, Ikorodu, Ibeju-Lekki and Badagry in order to de- conjest Lagos Central .

As to whether Governor Ambode is stealing Lagos money, you have no proof. So shut your mouth, and stop spewing trash.

I totally disagree with you. Population determines the size of market for any business. So it is a blessing.

What our people need is empowerment.

Empowerment comes from enlightenment and education (and not in the narrow sense of the word).

That will not happen when you have a population that is growing at a ridiculous rate - who is going to educate these children when there are too many for them to be cared for adequately?

Duke did a lot .Cross river state was among the top five in Nigeria few years back.All the infrastructure he built was destroyed by people that took after him. calabar had constant supply of electricity,calabar carnival was to bring investors,obudu cattle ranch was a tourist site.business was blooming then.Immediately he step down tinapa resort was the first thing that stop functioning,now calabar carnival is dead, his predecessor ruin everything . T he current gov just know how to speak English and he built factory for sewing uniform that was all he did.Lagos is developing because each gov want to outdo the last gov unlike other states that destroy what past government as built.

He lambasted the Buhari government for showing more interest in politics than economics. “And if you don’t get the economics right, then governance cannot work.


What does buhari know about economics kwanu,how does cattle rearing relate to economics in governance, somebody that have not written a book nor given intellectual lecture.
It really amaze me how zombies think the man can do magic in making Nigeria prosper economically.
So a man has to write a book or give an intellectual lecture to be considered economically intelligent?

There an international airport in the SE and you don't have any sea so you can not have any sea port.

Btw, other state governors are building their own airports and sea ports so what is wrong with your own incompetent and lazy governors with no vision and foresight building their own too instead of crying and begging the FG for everything?

Or the noise about the smart, the richest and the most industrious SE are just lies and rubbish?

Mr.Duke you used that word 'collapse' wrongly,population increase cannot collapse an economy rather it will mount pressure on social amenities.Check the law of geometric progression.What we need is diversification,duplicating an economic hub like lagos will release the population inflow.

My opinion.

Government is wise. Put everything in Lagos, and let us all empty our villages, towns, and other cities into Lagos! We've been asking for International Airport, Seaports, and other facilities in SE for ages, but some politicians want everything to revolve around Lagos. As far as every meaningful economic resources (Seaports, Airports, Embassies, Head Offices) are skewed towards Lagos, so would the people. Lagos may grow, and burst, but people will do as the government policy dictates; people will continue to migrate.

Hence, Chinedu and Chidi are on the way to Lagos tomorrow with their families, I'm sure Musa and Yaya are also on their way in similar fashion.

That's how successive government wanted it. So be it!

This is what donald duke is talking about.

He simply said that the FG has failed especially in the entire NE/NW/NC and SS/SE/SW hence people will troop into lagos for survival..Now as the population grows more pressure will be on infrastructure, security, accommodation, electricity etc..So at the end, Lagos will suffer for the failures of the entire government( both at federal and state level).
