shymexx: Firstly, how would that happen when the FG takes a whooping 56% of the revenue and shares the remaining 44% among the 36 states and gazillion of LG?

When people say what you said above I imagine they may be UNAWARE that the constitution makes the FG responsible for the:

- Armed Forces i.e Army, Navy, Air Force
- Law Enforcement agents i.e Police Force and the Intelligence Services
- Foreign Affairs, including several embassies around the world
- INEC for elections at the federal and state levels i.e.

* president,
* senate,
* HoR,
* governors and
* state assembly lawmakers

compared to SIECs that conduct only LGA elections,

- UBEC support to states and LGAs for implementation of free education.
UBEC has disbursed almost 188 billion to the states in the last eight years.
See http://ubeconline.com/Pre/Disbursememt%20as%20at%206th-December,2013.pdf

- Railways
- Sea ports
- Airports
- Etc, etc

Secondly, I reiterate: Lagos contributes more to the center than it gets back in return. Your oil money doesn't not fund Lagos!

And what has Lagos done about true fiscal federalism beyond TALK. We have had a democracy for almost 15 years now and at least two amendments to the 1999 constitution. I guess talk is cheap especially when the leader knows most of his fellow compatriots are MUMUS.
Oh maybe that is why Tinubu is so keen to have Buhari in power next year since he (Buhari) promised to DECREE fiscal federalism. The clueless old soldier is obviously thinking in COUPIST terms where as the MAXIMUM ruler he does not need the input of lawmakers to do things.

bakynes: Besides when was the last Population Census and u didn't answer my question, do u know millions of pple in Lagos sleep in the bus,container,under the bridge so how do u expect them to be counted? And did u also check the wiki I told u to check?

I do not know of MillionS who are homeless. How did you know?
Statistics and data METICULOUSLY gathered by adequately motivated workers of Fashola's Social and Welfare Affairs ministry no doubt, abi

bakynes: 2.Did the budget for road construction pass through your table? for you to know it was done for 2-3 times the cost of Federal roads.

Hereunder are the facts for your careful consideration:

President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan today disclosed that the reconstruction of the Lagos-Ibadan expressway was withdrawn from the Bi Courtney company due to evident non performance by the construction firm.

The road which is about 127.8 kilometers will cost N167 billion.

Jonathan stated this during the flagging-off ceremony for the reconstruction of the expressway.

The new companies that will be handling the reconstruction are Julius Berger Plc and Reynold Construction Company, RCC.

More from: http://saharareporters.com/news-page/president-jonathan-says-lagos-ibadan-expressway-will-be-ready-4-years%C2%A0-pm-news-lagos

Compare and contrast with LASG Chinco contract for road expansion:

The much publicised expansion work on the 13.5 kilometre Mile12 to Ikorodu Road project has begun as Lagos State government mobilised the contractor- Chinese Civil Engineering and Construction Corporation, CCECC, to site. The project is estimated to cost N30 billion.

See more at: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2012/09/n30bn-mile-12-to-ikorodu-road-expansion-starts/#sthash.ZjBsgock.dpuf

Since you sabi extrapolate 20 million population from traffic congestion it should not be difficult for you to do the maths of the two road expansion projects, abi
Fashola is a VERY corrupt man. Take that to the bank!!!

bakynes: 1.Do you think some pple in lagos have a home to be counted by the census guys,check wiki and see for yourself the population figure.Each time I go out am always stressed coz the congestion on d road, the hold up and from other states ve visited ve never witnessed such stress so that also proves lagos population @ 20million is justified.

Are you joking with that bold part of your comment or simply displaying your inadequate knowledge of demographics and population data collection
Go and find out if there was no traffic congestion in Lagos in the 70s when the population was much less than the under-10 million of the last census then come back and post here. Ok

Obi1kenobi: Lagos does have a lot of challenges. Uncontrolled rural-urban drift over the decades has created a real monster.

We should stop making excuses for Fashola's wasted six plus years.

The same migration into Lagos was there when Awo was Premier of the Western region that included a large chunk of today's Lagos STATE. That did not stop the late sage from his remarkable progressive achievements.


https://www.nigerianmuse.com/images/Lagos_State_LGs.jpg


The influx DID NOT stop while Lateef Jakande was governor for only four years and he guaranteed free education up to secondary school for ALL children resident in Lagos WITHOUT discrimination and set up heavily subsidised LASU among other mass-impact achievements.

So what exactly is this excuse that Fashola is hampered by influx of people into Lagos.
It doe not hamper him from generating some 60% (300 billion) of his budget from the same population one way or another, does it

bakynes: I don't know y pple will be comparing Uyo nt even d entire Akwa-Ibom to Lagos state. Like shymexx said a small land mass under pressure from 20million pple to a big land mass from a far lesser pressure from 3 million pple.

Lagos population is less than 10 million based on the last census.
What is your basis of the 20 million people

Think deeply Fashola is a Nigerian like everyone else and will most definitely be corrupt bt compared to other state governors in Nigeria he is a god.

Your confession is noted for future reference.
However you should understand that Fashola is VERY corrupt with LASG roads being done for 2-3 times the cost per kilometre of federal roads. Meanwhile the LASG roads are handled by cheap & cheerful Chinco contractors
That is just one example.

qhiwegh: [b]Igboland (including Onitsha, Enugu) for Igbos.
Hausaland (including Kano) for Hausas.
Bornu State for Kanuris.
Edo State for Binis.
Bayelsa (and its oil) for Ijaws.
BUT WHY IS YORUBALAND FOR EVERYBODY?
If Lagos only needed to take care of its Yoruba indigenes, it would be able to become a world-class city within one term.

How about London for only oyinbo people
Is your comment smart at all?

shymexx: 20 million people in that small land mass should be a humanitarian crises, to be honest. The population shouldn't be more than 7 million.

Which census showed that 20m for Lagos STATE

Italiano1: And yet, under his administration, Lagos has witnessed the largest influx of migrants from other parts of Nigeria?

He must be doing a good job if some people would rather stay poor and destitute in Lagos than return to their states of origin- don't you think?

Where did u pull your COMPARATIVE statistics from -NPC website

doc sholz: I still say the problem of Lagos is excessive immigration into the state even

Where is the 300 billion (60% of budget) derived from- not the tax paying population

[quote author=holly-pagan]Because they said, they are anointed men of God i believed them but the end will justify the means[/quote]Is this God's standard from the Bible

aysuccess99: I don't like to argue but I have to post this whether you believe it or not, the 2013 prophecy by Dr. D.K Olukoya, came to pass. Let's look at the issue of great spark of rebellion, ASUU strike and other strikes is a good example, also the political crisis in the nation is also a great sign of the spark of rebellion.

So na unionised workers strike na im be rebellion?
Na im be sey plenty rebellion dey happen every year, abi nor be every year workers dey strike
For example there was long strike by medical doctors in Lagos when Fashola carried his sick father abroad for treatment in 2012. Shey that one na rebellion too abi nor be so
Will you say the attempted secession of Biafra from Nigeria in 1967 was:

- NOT a rebellion
- NOT a great spark of rebellion.

Something similar is going on in South Sudan as we speak.

And other prophecies came to pass.

Which ones of the other vague, generic prophecies came to pass last year that also did not happen in previous years and will not happen in 2014
Which ones?
Let us not forget that Oluwatola5 said ALL of Olukoya's prophecies come to pass.

And Thank God that you know Christ,the Bible said touch not my anointed and do my prophet no harm. So mind what you say about pastors and prophets. Leave everything to God to judge the evil pastors, don't judge.
Happy New Year.

You obviously have not been reading your Bible.
Make it part of your new year resolution to do so in order for you to come to a personal understanding of God as presented through the words and works of Christ.

Let me leave you with one of my favourite Bible passages:

The Knowledge of God Is Man's Glory

23 Thus saith the Lord, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:
24 But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the Lord which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the Lord.

From: http://www.christnotes.org/bible.php?q=jeremiah+9%3A+23-24&ver=kjv

Happy New Year too free from deceptive gods of men.

aysuccess99: thats true and good jawe. Happy New Year to you. that guy bible recitation made me to think about my stance with God and i was challenged through his recitation. God Bless that boy. Happy New Year.

So a man's "stance with God" is reflected in his ability to recite some parts of the Bible
Interesting revelation, quite!
Which Bible reference is the basis of this your revelation

abubaka101: All what you say is true, but you are not getting my point!
US support for South Korea is so entrenched in the South Korean foreign interest... If both nations hadn't developed such bond a long time ago, they wouldn't have been able to achieve this development.

I already showed the LIE in the bold part in my earlier post here:

https://www.nairaland.com/1575731/south-korea-1964-few-years/2#20597226

A farmer who eats all his harvest (cannot sacrifice/ fast/ suffer long) will have nothing to sow in the next planting season HENCE continue to be a beggar to his other fellow farmers. He cannot even develop as he has consigned himself to the status of a beggar nation.
I hope that is something simple enough for you to understand.

Oluwatola5: I bet you dont know DR DK Olukoya one bit, he doesnt claim to represent God and he is a bundle of humility not an egocentric, over-confident, i-am-your-messiah kind of pastor that you may have come across or heard about. Besides, if you have heard him preach before, you possibly could have heard him saying it that ''MFM pastors are always at the receiving end'' and in a ministry like MFM, if you think you being a pastor is for showmanship or for feeling fly, then i bet you are playing with fire. Well, you may not understand me if you arent in the ministry, but so many strange people come to test the power of God. If you are even just an Usher sef, you know what you are in for, let alone a pastor.

Why do I need to know a fellow man when I already know Jesus as presented by His words and works in the Bible

And talking about the prophecies you asked about, i cant type out anything at all, but if you dont mind, you can clear your doubts by asking around from a friend who has it with him/her, or betterstill, google it out if it appears and fill your eyes and clear your doubts......

I knew you would not produce the 2013 prophecies as it will show up Olukoya for the fraudster that he is, humility facade notwithstanding. It was right here on NL:

Shalom!
Salam!!
Peace!!!

abubaka101: I seriously do not get your point. But hear mine: Nigeria's national interest is what guides the formulation of our foreign policy. By adopting the NAM policy, they clearly avoided being used by either the US or the Soviet Union in their offensive against each other's ideology. This was necessary, because it became obvious that the Globe was large polarised by both ideologies, and NAM was the only way out!
This was why the US supported the gorilla fighting of a rebel group in the Southern African country of Namibia (or was it Mozambique, I've forgotten), either ways, I've made my point.

So we chose to be NAM and are still complaining South Korea was protected by the US hence its development. Did I miss anything
Why are we such cry babies, always whining, forever complaining instead of working hard and making the necessary sacrifices

Oluwatola5: Nice prophecies. His prophecies always turn out to be true.

Can you reproduce his 2013 prophecies and check of if/how they all came true as you posted above

I believe the Bible says we should put ALL those who claim to represent God to us to test so as to ascertain how genuine they are, nor be so?

Gifted4all: For those of u always doubting men of God i wonder what planet u guys came frm. Believe in Gods prophet and u shall prosper

How can you know someone is God's prophet and not a fraudster and impostor?
Any Biblical criteria/pointers (with passage references) for knowing who is a prophet from God as opposed to a Smooth Operator as most of these gods of men today are

Omooba77: God will show mercy, but of what I know I tell...............

So what do u know exactly to vouch for his fasting integrity

Tolexander: How many of the predictions came to pass last year?

Na why you too like to look for trouble even for early momo of a new year
Have you not heard that old things shall pass away and everything shall become new, so why do you want us to cross-check his 2013 prophecy to see whether they came to pass as those of the prophets in the Bible.
Abeg take ya time wella oh

Omooba77: Not Daddy Enoch Adejare Adeboye that I know; if he ask you to fast 100 days; he will do at least 120 days,he will start before you and long after you completed yours he will still be fasting........................So please what you don't know don't sin ............God bless you sir

Are we to understand that you not only live with him in his house but are also with him 24 hours even when he sleeps, right

Adeboye's declaration of fasting WITHOUT SPECIFIC, MEASURABLE and VERIFIABLE outcome for the participants is simply a scam.
Those in doubt should check the FACTS from the Bible about the fasts that Jesus engaged in or recommended.

Moreover below is the type of fast that pleases the God who sent Jesus Christ here and whom Adeboye and his likes CLAIM to represent to their numerous gullible folks who wait for an helper like the impotent man at the pool of Bethesda rather than engage their God-given talents, skills, time and long-suffering pragmatic patience for personal & communal success:

The Right Observance of Fasts

Cry aloud, [1] spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.
2 Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God: they ask of me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in approaching to God.

3 Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and thou seest not? wherefore have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast ye find pleasure, and exact all your labours. [2]
4 Behold, ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye shall not fast as ye do this day, to make your voice to be heard on high.
5 Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day [3] for a man to afflict his soul? is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the Lord?
6 Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy [4] burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?
7 Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?

8 Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the Lord shall be thy rereward.
9 Then shalt thou call, and the Lord shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity;
10 And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noonday:
11 And the Lord shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, [5] and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.
12 And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.

More from: http://www.christnotes.org/bible.php?q=Isaiah+58&ver=kjv

Is the real fast described here not what our white "superiors" practice routinely and receive the divine benefits such that we are pouring out in our millions through deserts, oceans, seas to become voluntary slaves and socio-economic EXILES in their lands while we deceive ourselves that we in diaspora
Any chance that the scales might fall off our eyes and brains sometime soon?

manny4life: The service was GREAT, as I begin my 100 days of fasting, GOD grant us his grace..... This is a year of OVERFLOW.

And what was last year, 2013- year of UNDERflow

BTW, The other years before 2013 nko and the ones after 2014- years of NOflow

Anyway did Christ not say blessed are the POOR in spirit.....

revolt: especially the ojota cabal that stupidly fights policies that'll safeguard the future for our kids, Cos our generations Bern badly charred
. Nigeria's practice of mixed economy is a curse, we must bow to capitalism. say no to apc socialists and kakistocrats.

I see the scammers and fraudsters in APC have managed to hoodwink you into believing they are socialists- far from it. That is the result of their very sleek and smooth propaganda machinery.
Is their natinal leader not Tinubu, owner of

- Oriental hotel, Lekki
- First Nation airlines
- Nation newspapers
- TV Continental
- etc, etc.

Are they not promoting Eko Atlantic city while rendering many of our fellow residents of Lagos homeless
Did Fashola not hike LASU fees by 1,000% yet could not upgrade the quality of teaching AND research in the school to the extent that their own ASUU are threatening to go on strike yet again.
How many children in APC controlled states do you see roaming the streets during school hours because of the propaganda-only free education offered

Can you compare that to Awolowo's Action Group, AG and Unity Party of Nigeria, UPN?
Definitely sleep is very different from death just as original is different from fake product.

atlwireles: Right on point. South Koreans were sold Jesus Christ and the American dollar. America built South Korea without question.

Yet another self-delusion comment implicitly yearning for crutches (messiahs/ foreign aid) when we are NOT handicapped people. Yet it does not reflect the reality of South Korea's recent history:

Statistics on religion by population[edit]

Of the South Korean population in 2005, 46.5% were classified as Irreligious, 22.8% were Buddhist, 29.2% were Christians (18.3% are Protestants and 10.9% were Catholics), and the rest adhered to various minority religions including Jeung San Do, Daesun Jinrihoe, Cheondoism, Taoism, Confucianism and Won Buddhism. A smaller minority of Koreans also professed Islam.[1]
A 2010 survey yielded results saying Christian 31.6% (Protestant 24%, Roman Catholic 7.6%), Buddhist 24.2%, other or unknown 0.9%, none 43.3% [3]

More from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_South_Korea

When shall we learn to accept that we need to make adequate, long suffering sacrifices today in order to guarantee a better tomorrow for ourselves
Instead of seeking quick-fixes like some drug addict who has condemned himself for life
Where is our pride as a people?

ROSSIKE: WHAT A LOAD OF DUMBED DOWN GARBAGE. FOR YOUR INFORMATION YOU SHALLOW, NON-RESEARCHING SELF LOATHERS, THE ONLY REASON, REPEAT: THE ONLY REASON South Korea is a developed nation today is that after WW2, the victorious western allies led by the US decided to create STRONG CAPITALIST BULWARKS to checkmate the spread of COMMUNISM in the Asia Pacific. This they did by CHOOSING a specific set of Pacific nations in the 1950s to which they granted UNPRECEDENTED FINANCIAL, TECHNOLOGICAL, AND ECONOMIC SUPPORT INCLUDING, MOST IMPORTANTLY, UNLIMITED ACCESS TO WESTERN MARKETS FOR THEIR FINISHED PRODUCTS.

THE RESULT? By the 1980s, THOSE CHOSEN STATES HAD BECOME THE 'TIGER ECONOMIES' OF ASIA.

WITHOUT THOSE WESTERN INCENTIVES, ESPECIALLY UNRESTRICTED MARKET ACCESS (UNRECEIVED BY ANY AFRICAN STATE IN MODERN HISTORY) SOUTH KOREA WOULD BE NO DIFFERENT FROM ITS ASIAN NEIGHBOURS WHICH WERE NOT CHOSEN - Burma, Nepal, North Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Bhutan, East Timor, Papua New Guinea and others.

SO KEEP THAT IN MIND WHEN POSTING THESE SILLY PICTURES COMPARING NIGERIA AND SOUTH KOREA. BETTER YET, LEARN TO READ THE HISTORY OF DEVELOPMENT OF NATIONS BEFORE DRAWING LAZY CONCLUSIONS BASED ON LACK OF RESEARCH.

First of all learn to NOT type mostly in CAPITAL letters it is as if you are screaming endlessly and does not make your post reader-friendly.

Self deceit is said to be the worst form of STUPIDITY and that is what is on display in the above post.
It is such a pity that our fellow citizens who do not know any better will accept such self-deceit that makes us expect an EXTERNAL agent to be responsible for our deliverance, development and growth.
I do not know where you got the wild distortion you posted above but you may want to provide the actual "research" you referred to with credible sources.

While you are free to indulge yourself in your own delusion it will be a great injustice for me to allow you confuse our fellow compatriots into the same trap.
These are excerpts from the South Korean experience with mega-conglomerates otherwise known as Chaebols of which Samsung, LG and Hyundai are world renowned brands TODAY:

South Korea's economy was small and predominantly agricultural well into the mid-20th century. However, the policies of President Park Chung Hee spurred rapid industrialization by promoting large businesses, following his seizure of power in 1961. This was called the First Five Year Economic Plan. Government industrial policy set the direction of new investment, and the chaebol were to be guaranteed loans from the banking sector. In this way, the chaebol played a key role in developing new industries, markets, and export production, helping place South Korea as one of the Four Asian Tigers.
Although South Korea's major industrial programs did not begin until the early 1960s (i.e. some 50 years ago), the origins of the country's entrepreneurial elite were found in the political economy of the 1950s. Very few Koreans had owned or managed larger corporations during the Japanese colonial period. After the departure of the Japanese in 1945, (i.e. about 70 years ago and 15 years before Nigeria's independence) some Korean businessmen obtained the assets of some of the Japanese firms, a number of which grew into the chaebol of the 1990s. These companies, as well as certain other firms that were formed in the late 1940s and early 1950s, had close links with Syngman Rhee's First Republic, which lasted from 1948 to 1960. It was alleged that many of these companies received special favors from the government in return for kickbacks and other payments.

When the military took over the government in 1961, military leaders announced that they would eradicate the corruption that had plagued the Rhee administration and eliminate injustice from society. Some leading industrialists were arrested and charged with corruption, but the new government realized that it would need the help of the entrepreneurs if the government's ambitious plans to modernize the economy were to be fulfilled. A compromise was reached, under which many of the accused corporate leaders paid fines to the government. Subsequently, there was increased cooperation between corporate and government leaders in modernizing the economy.[4]

Government-chaebol cooperation was essential to the subsequent economic growth and astounding successes that began in the early 1960s. Driven by the urgent need to turn the economy away from consumer goods and light industries toward heavy, chemical, and import-substitution industries, political leaders and government planners relied on the ideas and cooperation of the chaebol leaders. The government provided the blueprints for industrial expansion; the chaebol realized the plans. However, the chaebol-led industrialization accelerated the monopolistic and oligopolistic concentration of capital and economically profitable activities in the hands of a limited number of conglomerates.
Park used the chaebol as a means towards economic growth. Exports were encouraged, reversing Rhee's policy of reliance on imports. Performance quotas were established.

More from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaebol

Is this not somewhat similar to the laudable initiatives being put in place and vigorously pursued by the democratic administration of Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, President of the FRN
Hopefully his team will learn from the shortcomings of the Korean experience and make necessary amends.

SQURA: shut up there.you are so annoying. now give me one contact of your rep or senator in your zone so we know you aint speaking with your dick-lips.

Give me one reason why I should oblige you on a public forum like this
Why are you providing further evidence to confirm my mistake of including you in the pool of civilised Nigerians?
If you do not know the contact details of your RepresentaTHIEF and SINator, please endeavour to find out quickly so you can channel your concerns about EFCC's inadequate funding PROPERLY.
Get it

pmc01: It's not compulsory to drop a comment if you don't understand fully what's been discussed.
Go through the piece again and check for the bolded part that said the FG failed to remit the funds appropriated for the agency, as was ratified by the lawmakers.
Civilised people?

If lawmakers ratified something and it was not done, the best thing is to scream in the newspapers, right
What is all the noise about OVERSIGHT functions of the lawmakers and the regular hullabaloo of budget performance?

Any reasonable civilised person will suspect such news story, don't you think
Especially given recent FUTILE attempts to embarrass the president with spurious LIES.

abbakacici: Lamode is being used by Buhari and tinubu to make the govt look bad

Not so long ago it was CBN's Chief Imam Sanusi with his false alarm of missing money only to recant and apologise later
The winchious elements are really gathering to distract GEJ from delivering to us, citizens of this potentially great country so they can get someone to resume the old ways of SIMPLY sharing our COMMONwealth national cake aka Niger Delta oil revenue.
