Someone should probe Ambode's administration, now. The probe should start from the amount spent to power street lights, to the increase in Land Use Charges. Fashola achieved so many great things in Lagos state, even when the federal allocation was withheld, yet he didn't resort to this outright daylight shakedown.

Ambode is running a govt of extortion. I know someone who was paying 78,000 naira as land use charge last year, who has now suddenly been billed 361,000 naira for this year alone. Where is the difference going to come from? Ambode has the guts to say only 300,000 people are affected by this change in Land Use Charges. Really? Is he talking about 300,000 landlords or 300,000 citizens or what? Is he saying that there are only 300,000 houses in the whole of Lagos state? Does he realise that an increase in Land Use Charges, will automatically lead to a hike in rents?

All the nonsense calculations he is making about the assessed Market Value of a building, is highly subjective. A building's value is only determined by whether there is a willing buyer and a willing seller relationship in place. Who are those that even compute the market value of a building, and what are the parameters used to assess it?

I know a landlord who offered up a 4-flat storey building for sale, in the suburbs of Lagos. His estate agent placed a price tag of 30 million on it, as the market value of buildings in that same area. He eventually sold it for 18 million, because that is what sellers were willing to pay. So tell me, what was the basis of the assessed market value of such a house?

Tinubu the owner of Alpha Beta continues to bleed Lagos dry. His people won't complain about it but would point fingers at Ibori.

His Alpha Beta company also collect tax on behalf of Lagos state, don't even mention tollgate fees all going to Tinubu's pocket.

Hypocrites of the highest order. They only notice corruption when the person is not from the South West.

Just watch and see how those vultures from as far as Ilorin ans Oshogbo will ask you to go to your village if you don't like it...

I don't even see the issue people are crying over here. The language says AB or any other designated persons. The insertion did not preferences or arrogate anything special to AB, it just referenced AB because it's the company the state is dealing with a the moment and going further, it says or any other designated persons.

I'd understand if the language gave some kind of preference or privilege to AB.

This is a very silly outcry and baseless argument.

Despite Buhari's obvious failures, he has large followership in north, same way many 'lagosian elites' will die defending Tinubu even while BAT keeps converting the state to his personal property.

Mumuism isn't only due to lack of education; like Almajiris, like lagosians, former worship Bubu while the later asslick BAT.

Sagay212:


the daft followers will never question him... the animals will be chanting 'itesiwaju eko' like zombies and continue to suffer in the hands of evil politicians. Some crazy animals are already shouting ambode for second term. I don't know what the useless and 419 governor has done to deserve a second term.

You can imagine a country as backward as nigeria having time to organise award for any politician. Imagine claiming that there is a best governor is a shithole like nigeria and giving them awards. a country where politicians should be flogged mercilessly anywhere they are seen is giving stupid awards to politicians. Governor of the year my yansh.

Cold blooded crooks. They will always demand for more and more cos their ocean of greed cannot be satisfied. Awon ole buruku leaders.

The Lagos State Government on Wednesday, clarified the figures circulating in the media, on the rate for the newly reviewed Land Use Charge Law of 2018, saying many of the numbers were based on several years of arrears on the levy, not paid by affected property owners.

Speaking at a news briefing held at the Bagauda Kaltho Press Centre in Alausa, Ikeja, the State’s Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr Kehinde Bamigbetan said there were so many misconceptions and misinformation about the new law, adding that the law was a progressive enactment duly made by the House of Assembly and handed over to the Executive for implementation in the overall interest of the people.

He specifically dismissed the humongous figures being bandied about on the social media, saying many of the calculations were based on arrears of many years of non-payment.

“The second important part is that a lot of relieves have been built into the law but many people are confusing arrears with the actual figure. If you see those figures, ask whether it is for one year or arrears of several years of non-payment. The humongous figures that are being bandied around particularly in the social media relate to the arrears of many years of non-payment which are computed together,” Bamigbetan said.

..... Responding to fears of tenants that the new Law might force landlords to increase rent, Ashade said aside the fact that the Lagos State Tenancy Law 2011 was still in force, the incidence of payment for Land Use Charge under the new law is on the Landlord and not the tenant.
