baralatie:
the ex governor achieved a lot but it was a different economic situation back them

the economy gave the governor's room to manoveor and Lagos as at then was partially virgin (and that is a big plus) compared to now it is a totally different scenario. the economic Dynamics is different at the fg level ,the state is largely grown and Lagos has a huge recurrent expenditure.
it so require a very determined and bunch of technocrats to repeat such a great
rather it can get as close possible to achieve the above feats through sustainability and opening up

StaffofOrayan:
My friend stop making excuses for these criminals that hate you, dem curse una ni

baralatie:

what excuses!

you don't even have an idea how Jakande built those schools and estates sef

StaffofOrayan:


Look Jakande had a plan, these clowns don't have any ideology let alone a plan, remember others didn't do what Jakande did in their domains

baralatie:

all states of the federation had a plan.
what made Lagos to be different from other states is the blending of all positive factors playing into the hands of Lagos State.
a: Lagos was coming into the recovery and reconstruction period of both the military government and civilian rule.Nigeria had cash

b: the precedence has been set by the first governor of Lagos State mobolaji Johnson.

c: Lagos state is the capital of Nigeria.it must carry that respect.

d: Lagos was a partial virgin landed state

Jakande on been elected was under pressure to perform and make a name for his style of governance and political beliefs because a whole lot of things that was denied Lagos under the failed regional system of government


Compare it to this present state.

a:it is no longer the capital of Nigeria.that extra funds,facilities reflects in Lagos infrastructure well

b:Lagos is built up

c: the political ideaologies are completely different

d:it has a very huge expenditure
