Tinubu hands need to be taken off Lagos state coffers because he is holding that state so tight by the jugular...

Cityboil he calls himself, but his acclaimed city is no match to the regenerative cities of Africa talk more of the one outside the continent undecided


Can Lagos as a city boast about having a good cityscape or lifestyle as comparative to Dar El Salam, Luanda, Casablanca, Gaborone or even Harare?


I'm not even camparing it with Johannesburg, Cape Town or Cairo yet embarassed because Lagos no reach.

If it's for infrastructure development that generates revenue and betters the lives of the people, then It's good debt

...but we both know in whose bank accounts most of the money is ending up

Nice one Sanwo-Olu.

350billion is still within range in Lagos for a full budget year considering the size of the budget and the infrastructural spending the government is currently undertaking.

Just give us the light rail by first quarter of next year and complete the rest of the lines.

I can see the children of hate gnashing their teeth up there. Soludo borrowed 100billion within his first few months in office and yet we cannot mention one solid thing he has achieved in Anambla.

But those inhabitant of the failed state will come online to abuse Lagos daily when their area cannot even be compared to a local government in Lagos.

Anambra Agbero receipt.

But some guys on here said that borrowing is only for Anambra because PO left the State in ruins.

Let the guy above me justify this and blame PO for Soludo's borrowings.

Borrowing is not a bad thing so far you can account for what you borrowed for.

Soludo is just overhyped and even some of Obi comrade on Twitter are starting to call him out. He borrowed 100billion and there’s little to show for it.

Even if Sanwo-Olu borrow 500billion, at least daily we can see all his stride in Lagos with the biggest infrastructural project embarked in Lagos like the light rail. They all cost money and etc.

Even for rich men, they will prefer to borrow from banks for a project rather than use their cash to finance it which explained why you see the likes of Dangote borrowing massively for his project even tho his net worth is more than what he’s borrowing.

Lagos has no business borrowing money if not for Tinubu's greed.

The man is choking Lagosians & taxpayers to death. We need to be liberated from him cry

Sadly, the liberation would be difficult because opposition parties in Lagos are inside his pocket, else how do you explain PDP presenting Jandor & Jennifer (clowns) as candidates?

Well

Most states rely on allocation from government

Most of the money that government uses for allocation comes from oil money

Oil money is very unstable. The problem is oil price. Today, 150 dollars per barrel, tomorrow, 30 dollars per barrel.

Nigeria needs oil at 133 dollars per barrel on a consistent basis, otherwise we would end up with huge debts.

That is why Sanwo-Olu, Soludo et al...BORROW.

(Unless we tax everyone, including farmers, unemployed, herdsmen, armed robbers, etc heavily).
