Okay

Bad belle, talk about Anambra or imo economy. Idiot

trutharena:
The Cable themselve admitted that Lagos is the fourth largest economy in Africa.

So what is actually the difference between 3rd and 4th? That’s just a slip by 1 position.

So much for fact checking.

Read Well they said the state itself claims to be the 4th Largest.
This is the actual position; No 11.
TheCable compared Lagos to other African countries using the 2021 data. Using the official exchange rate in converting the GDP numbers provided by LBS and NBS, Lagos ranked 11th in Africa and 16th going by the parallel market rate. GDP figures above are from the World Bank, with the exception of Lagos, which was extracted from the LBS."

Damn right, but sometimes, you just gotta show these lying urchins that no one here is anybody's fool though.

It is what it is.

If lagos is not the richest economy then which country or state is the richest in Africa?we are here to learn

Na wa o
Even as Op paint am red you still no see am. It's true that if you want to hide something from some people, put it in a book.
Oya take
Cairo with a GDP of $212 billion was the biggest city economy in Africa followed by Johannesburg ($131 billion) and Cape Town ($121 billion).

Good morning to zombies. Work dey here

Lol, for people that wants to know, they knew Lagos state was receiving allocations but the local government weren't.

But let's ask some questions.

Who has the highest numbers of employees between state government and local government in Lagos?

Were the salaries of local government workers paid during that time they weren't getting allocation?

How were local government health center financed during that time.?

Were local governments road maintained during the period?

All Primary schools teachers that happened to be local government staffs, were they paid?

Were responsibilities that were solely for local government abandoned during the period they didn't receive their allocations?

Every right thinking fellow will know that, this mode is a glorified idiot. You can't be turning the truth to lies just to score some useless political scores. IPOB can never become realistic no matter how far you went to dig about Lagos and it's economy.

APC should look for another lie to campaign with...This one don cast...

The word Zombie is a trademark for Obi supporters. They own that name. But they are still close.
They said 3rd, fact said 4th just one
They said 50b fact said it's 44.5 appr 45 just 5b
No single local govt was paid for 8 yrs! is it not LG that made up the state.

Money should be withheld in all LG in the yeast for just 5month. And let's see if ur flesh will still be intact as UGM would have made a nice Nkwobi with ur head

This one has started his own lies. Where did you see LG not paid for 8 years?
Most of these Tinubu supporter are just brain dead!

Scroll back and read from the beginning.

Racoon:

It is hoped that with this clarification, no zombies should ever peddle the lie that Tinubu ran Lagos govt without federal allocation for 8 years because it was allocations for the illegally created LGA/LCDAs that were withheld but even @ that it returned when the SC ruled on the issue.

No,it wasnt.
It was returned during HE Fashola reign.

butterfly777:
It is absurd how governments in Nigeria overtax the people and will be using that wickedness as if it is a positive way of generating IGR.

lol..We should be thankful to God for what we pay as tax in Nigeria. Go and veLify what other countries pay, you will probably understand why we are this backwards till date (corruption aside)

Brother no need for insults please. I believe they want to be lectured and that can be done peacefully. Just ask them if local government worker were paid or not when they were receiving allocation or were there any local government responsibilities that were not met during that period. If none, then who was paying for it then. I believe their mind will open a bit after that and those that still have a closed mind will look for another excuse and rest on this flimsy one. Thanks

At the end Obi will only labour in vain. Obi is just a flash in the pan.

I don't know the Economist who came up with the ideas of GDP and GNP, but I think those figures are just another useless estimate that government officials use to measure wealth.

If you really want to know the wealth of a state, do proper census and develop a robust database to capture everyone in it. Track what they do, give a social security number, make it illegal for people not to have one, and track their earnings and divide it by the population of the state. This is called Per Capita Income (PCI).

For me, PCI is the most convincing technique for measuring the wealth of the nation or you use the $2 per day benchmark to measure poverty index, not some useless GDP or GNP.

Lagos is not 3rd but 4th. What is the difference?

Meanwhile, see as Festus Keyamo is just hyping and tweeting fallacy even as a SAN. Senior advocate of nonsense indeed. "Governance is not for smooth talkers. Most smooth talkers are the 419 people who talk their ways into power...." - Festus Keyamo

Jonathan was a smooth talkers buh he lead Nigeria very smoothly more than your great-grandfather buhari and many other people

Of course there is spin everywhere in politics.

For one I know that of revenue is not true because I knew that private sector led revenue drives aka tax consultancies started during the dying embers of the Babangida years and really took off during the Abacha years when government allocations nose dived on account of low oil prices and international sanctions.

And by the time democracy emerged most states including Lagos had viable private sector led revenue streams.
No doubt the Tinubu led government and others have successfully widened the tax base but Lagos was earning close to 4 billion when he assumed power in 1999 and took over the consultancies through his proxy company Alpha-Beta.

LAGOS HAS GROWN EXPONENTIALLY UNDER TINUBU AND HIS DISCIPLES WITH ALL THE DISCRIMNATION AGAINST IT.NIGERIA WAS/IS RICH BUT SUBSEQUENT RULERS INCLUDING OBASANJO,JONATHAN,BUHARI HAVE BROUGHT IT DOWN WITH CORRUPTION AND BAD MANAGEMENT.
LAGOS CONTINUES TO GROW EVEN WHEN ZOMBIES SHOUT OF CORRUPTION.

TINUBU IS OLD BUT WHAT WE NEED FROM HIM,IS HIS IDEAS AND MIDAS TOUCH.
TINUBU IS TESTED,TRUSTED AND GUARANTEED.
BUHARI HAS TAUGHT US LESSON TO LOOK AT ANTECEDENTS OF INDIVIDUALS BEFORE VOTING FOR THEM.
TINUBU COMES A DISTANT TOP AMONG OTHER ASPIRANTS.

​1. JOHANNESBURG (SOUTH AFRICA): $276 BILLION
Fittingly, Africa’s richest city was built on gold – on the Witwatersrand Gold Rush of 1886, to be exact. It’s the commercial capital of South Africa and the wider region.

2. ​CAPE TOWN (SOUTH AFRICA): $155 BILLION
The city with Africa’s highest prime residential rates, at around $6,100 per square metre (similar to DC or Berlin) also is an important hub for financial services, retail and tourism.

3. CAIRO (EGYPT): $140 BILLION
Real estate, financial services and construction are some of the key sectors in this city of 9 million, the biggest metropolis in the Middle East.

4. LAGOS (NIGERIA): $108 BILLION
It may no longer be the country’s capital, Lagos still is the gateway for 80% of Nigeria’s exports – and the centre of the burgeoning film industry, a.k.a. Nollywood. At 21 million inhabitants (2016 est.), it’s Africa’s largest metropolis, as well as one of the world’s fastest-growing cities.

5. DURBAN (SOUTH AFRICA): $55 BILLION
Subtropical Durban is South Africa’s third-biggest city (after Johannesburg and Cape Town), second-biggest manufacturing hub and biggest port, as well as a major tourist destination. Durban’s Gateway Theatre of Shopping is Africa’s biggest mall. It has 12,000 parking slots, 390 stores, 90 restaurants, more than a dozen movie theatres (including an IMAX theatre), a skate park designed by Tony Hawk, and the highest fountain in Africa.

It’s laughable what your username says and how you want to make 4th and 3rd one!

Shettima!!! The Boko Haram number one sponsor, hyping Lagos like he was the governor of Lagos, let him give us an account of what happened in his state when he was governor for 8years. As for the Hand shaking kleptomania, the Chicago Drug Lord, your defeat shall be well befitting and deserved.

That is the difference between truth and politics.
Lately other politicians have been called out about facts v spin.
This is just another case.
Politicians lie a lot. That is why democracy is not all about what they say but what they do.
The former is what ignorant citizens put their hopes on and will always be disappointed, the latter is what informed citizens work towards by advocacy.
In practical terms, that Tinubu has raised revenue profile in Lagos does not translate to it happening in Nigeria unless Nigerians work it out for him. That Peter Obi will be fiscally disciplined as he was in Anambra does not mean it will happen in Nigeria if Nigerians will not team up with him to resist the establishment which is traditionally known to be profligate.
We should all understand how democracy works.

And by the way, biggest economy does not in anyway translate to any tangible benefits if the average Lagosian is not better off than citizens of other States. And I have not seen this in basic indices of living because the structure of the country does not permit independent economies.

This clearly shows that Tinubu and his supporters are thieves and liars

Na lie full their mouth.

Apc and lies ..,is well known and documented.

Lagos State?

You clearly rushed to comment and didn't read the article.

The so called withheld money started when Tinubu illegally created new local government areas in 2004 now lying formation has changed it to 8 years.

Oh my God.
tinubu brain's was/is working perfectly.
lagos(state) is now competing with countries in africa in term of economy.
lagos is 11th or 16th okay fine.
what's the anambra position during peter obi era when comparing with countries in africa.
i think anambra will be in 1000th position. Lol.
