na wa. Make una dey lie small small na.

Oga even before 1999, Lagos was still better than other states in terms of revenue generation. Whatever Tinubu did as regards revenue generation, states like Ogun, Delta, Rivers, Akwa Ibom etc have done. IGR in these states and others not mentioned have increased. Lagos only has an advantage of being the economic hub of Nigeria. That said whatever Tinubu did to the IGR, given same opportunities, other state governors in the above mentioned states would have done to their "bankrupt" states.

membranus:


Then, why didn't they do so before he raised the bar, even when the Obasanjo FG was denying his state its financial allocations?

Tinubu is a superman in governance, let us generously acknowledge that.

Did you say before he raised the bar? I SMH whenever I read something like this. What if I tell you Lagos is supposed to be making more than it is making if the system wasn't corrupt?

Tinubu wasn't the only one affected by federal government policies with regards revenue. Go and do your findings. Obasanjo did a similar thing to another state Governor during his tenure. Did the state collapse? The answer is NO. Rather they grew their IGR(during same period tinubu was in power) so there is nothing Tinubu did that made him a superman in governance. Some Governors did their best and would have done more if they were in a place like Lagos where it is easy to grow IGR and use it for development.

Truth be told, considering the IGR generated in Lagos, the state hasn't achieved so much.

Good day everyone, pls I'm in dire need of a bed I can be sleeping on.
I have been sleeping on the floor since I rented my apartment for like 5months ago, I was actually saving towards getting one for myself but an health issue came up on my mom and I have no option than to spend the money on that.

I'm broke to zero now and I'm not comfortable sleeping on the floor anymore cos it makes my back ache. I don't have anything in the room o but At least a bed to sleep on won't be bad to start with.

I'm pleading with anybody that has one they aren't using should please help me with it.

Preferably At Lagos.

No it wasn't Marwa left funds in the coffers.
First governor to ever do so.
But let's face it, Lagos is the most dynamic state in Nigeria.
All South Eastern states joined together cannot generate what Lagos makes in terms of annual revenue.

Karlovych:
shocked shocked So it means Lagos as a former capital was bankrupt, Lagos as a key trade and commerce city was bankrupt.

El Chapo surely did wonders in Lagos, it's no wonder he keeps running away from the wonders he created to regularly chill in London.

He certainly mitigated the effects of the bankruptcy from contents of the bullion van he keeps driving into his residence at Ikoyi

Agbado urchins like Sanwo-Olu should be ashamed of themselves

Bolded.

How could a man build a city but has to go for medical checks in London at every headache; has to go to London for every relaxation?

Ridiculous campaign - Tinubu men.

Lies! We didn't get educated to still be believing bullshit!

Below is a document from the US Department of State which shows that in 1996, Lagos GDP was $34 Billion, and it grew by 10% to $38 Billion the next year. Lagos GDP was growing tremendously before even Tinubu came into Politics.

Today, Lagos GDP is still around $34 Billion Dollars (using N700 / $1)

Some people usually ask why we agbadorians dont always try so hard in marketing Asiwaju instead we spend so much of our time countering the hate and endless lies from the oppositions; the enemies of Nigeria.

I usually say to them: Garri no get advert, not even on twitter, not on facebook, but e dey sell pass indomie smiley

What more can you say about a proven leader,
a political god, and an inclusiclve, decisive, fearless, dedicated, innovative , influential, deligent - administrator, strategist and a forward thinker.

A man who has calculated every obstacles, hurdles and misfortune that can befall any development ,by putting in place perfect, impeccable, foolproof solutions to counter them before it happen.


I have nothing to say except:
VOTE COMPETENCE
RENEWED HOPE2023
That renewed hope is not catchy like change or next level. I thought APC will come up with a catchphrase that will be easy to popularise and memorise by the majority populace.
New hope would have been better than renewed hope. I had thought it would be something like "possibilities" or "greater Nigeria"
Renewed hope sounds vague to most electorates

Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State says as governor, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), revived the economy of the state from bankruptcy in 1999.

Lies from the pit of hell...Lateef Jakande remains the best Governor Lagos ever produced.

These are the Nine(9) noteable achievements of the best Governor Lagos ever had Lateef Jakande, he did all in just 4 years...Today, Bola Tinubu did not dissappoint as a known criminal to steal and claim 4 out of the 9 listed achievements of Lateef Jakande (see number 3, 5, 6 and 7)


1. The first governor to present a billion Naira state budget in Nigeria.

2. He phased out the shift system in Lagos schools in three months. He built functional classrooms to absorb those who only attend schools for three hours a day.

3. He opened up what is now known as the Lekki Corridor.

4. He built the biggest Housing estate by a state government at Abesan, along with five other estates.

5. He built LASU, LACOED, LASPOTECH and Technical schools to absorb the products of the free education policy.

6 He built General Hospitals and Health centers in all the five divisions of Lagos. He also upgraded General Hospital Ikeja to the Medical arm of LASU.

7. He created the Agric hub at Oko Oba. He also created similar hubs in Ikorodu, Epe and Badagry.

8. His government’s strict adherence to the party manifesto of Free Education, Free Health care, Rural integration and Housing for all, along with other UPN governors, created the largest pool of human resources in Nigeria.

9. He moved the Lagos State Government Secretariat from PWD to Alausa, which he built from scratch. He also lived in his personal house and drove his personal car throughout his tenure.
