What if transparency rating? Without transparency u can’t know if development and economic progression is where it should be. undecided

As it stands many are if the opinion Lagos is greatly mismanaged.

America is very transparent. undecided

Of course transparency is lacking to an extent and it’s a Nigeria problem generally.

However, no one can take away the fact that Lagos does make those numbers and we can see the increase since 1999. It could be more than that but logically it can’t be less.

Hence my thesis that Tinubu government is responsible for the vast progress of Lagos from 1999 to 2007 is still valid.

Lagos makes 45 Billion Monthly.

If it were some people whose allocations were withheld, they would be crying marginalisation. If it were their friends from the other side, they would be bombing everywhere and marrying of their 12-year old daughters.

The states will be more encouraged to grow their igr when the federal govt allows them to be collecting vats that are generated in their states.

"During my time as a Commissioner in Lagos, we started
with N600 million monthly Internally Generated Revenues,
IGRs, in 1999." For all my reservations about Tinubu based on his stranglehold on Lagos politics (I hate godfatherism!), I can't help but admit he did a yeoman's job as the governor of Lagos. Imagine, Lagos's IGR was a very meagre 600 naira per month in 1999, and now 45 billion naira per month? Wow! Kudos Tinubu and his boys Fashola, Ambode and Sanwo Eko.

90% of the revenue generated in Lagos has been stolen and invested in Lekki, Victoria Island and Banana Island. This is why Lagos can never be prosperous.



Lagos is getting there. The 5th largest economy in Africa is not a mean fit. If other states got the money, they will invest in their girlfriends Dubai trip.

BUT YOU LAGOSIAN DID NOT BOLDLY CHALLENGE VAT.

It was the bold governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers state that took up the case of Vat before the High court in Rivers state before you Lagos government sum up the courage to challenge the federal government.

ONLY MOUTH LAGOS GOVERNMENT get.

If Lagos is thinking like a sovereign state it simply because GOVERNOR WIKE has open the eyes of your politicians in Lagos.

Na so so fear fear politician dey Lagos.

But Lagos is performing better than most states financially. The biggest issue is that it is still in severe need of infrastructure upgrades.

So much progress has been held back because of politics.

You are an ignorant fool. As far back as 2008, Lagos had challenged the FG on collection of VAT. Stop typing like a dunce.

Was it a lie? The progress of Lagos since 1999 was due to his effort and master plan.is it not worth celebrating? Is Nigeria not in need of an economist administrator?

Aside age I don't see anyone better than Tinubu, u can disprove me pls.

Ure not worth replying atall. Lagos has challenged this since 2008.

That one aside, since ure from Rivers state tell us what ur Wike has been doing to increase the economic status of the state better than how he met it..

Aside flyover , how is he different bfrom Ortom of Benue who has zero impact on the state growth.

Talk to me u feel if a Tinubu and his boys handle ur state do u think Rivers would still be in this same status?? Hope ure aware Rivers get more allocation and 13% derivative than Lagos. So tell us, what exactly is he doing with Rivers money. So far I have only credited him in transport where he is not even in match with what Lagos is doing in transport.

Sanwonolu is commissioning both blue and red Intracity monorail, and has opened up Lagos water ways transit officially..
Sanwo is just 2.5yewrs in office.

Those things aren't flyover mate pls.

So tell us, what exactly is Wike doing in Rivers for 6years.
