And this is how the "hugh" IGR is generated, where citizens are subjected to hardship day in and out.

Governance should be for the people and not against in a bid to "break records"

The majority of Lagosians enjoy their suffering & smiling under the lootership of Thiefnuibu and his 40 barawos.

Lagos is a crime scene. Extortion is the order of the day.

I thought that Lagosians are smart people. Why do they allow such extortion to happen

Lagos, the commercial hub of Nigeria, has been ranking as one of the worst places to live in the world for the nine straight years, a BusinessDay analysis shows.

Data from the 2019 Global Liveability Index published by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), the world’s leader in global business intelligence, shows the city has been within the range of 137th-139th position out of a total of 140 cities in the world from year 2011-2019.

The lack of state-owned pipe-borne water in the homes of Lagos residents has continued to be a source of concern, a non-profit group, Corporate Accountability and Public Advocacy Africa (CAPPA) has said.

At a press event to mark this year’s World Water Day, the group said its monitoring team’s visit to state-owned waterworks showed that most of them are not operational.

The group said the waterworks it visited include the ones at Maryland, Mushin, Ikorodu, Obalende, Agbowa, Onikan, Ikoyi, and Amuwo Odofin.

Only the one in Ikoyi is producing water, according to CAPPA.

LoneWolf212:
Increasing salary won't be a bad idea.

How about reducing the total package and pensions of serving & retired public office holders, like the governor, LASHA legislooters, LGA chairmen & councillors etc

There are two former governors that by a 2007 law on pension for public office holder, are paid 100 percent of the basic salary of the incumbent governor, receive a house in Lagos and Abuja, six cars every three years and all expenses paid; medical treatment for the governor and members of his family. These persons also receive 300 per cent of their annual basic salary as furniture allowance, 10 percent as maintenance allowance, 20 per cent as utility allowance, and 30 per cent as car maintenance allowance. In a country so severely short in policemen to secure life and property, a former governor will also have eight policemen and two security operatives of the Department of State Services to protect them. These are only for the governors.

Bola Tinubu since 2007 has collected 24 cars under the pension provision and is due to collect another 6 cars in 2022. Babatunde Fashola who left office in 2015 has collected 6 cars and is due to collect his next batch of 6 cars in 2021.

redcliff:
Bros even your c-in-c, Tinubu and Atiku have failed in that respect. They all did not declare all their assets.

I thought that Peter Obi is different from these rogues. Is he not

ajayiopy:
HAVE SAID IT TIME WITHOUT NUMBER THAT INSTEAD OF FIGHTING FOR BIAFRA,THERE IS A WAY YOU CAN POSITION YOURSELF TECHNOLOGICALLY SUCH THAT MORE THAN 50% OF NIGERIA POPULATION WILL DEPEND ON YOU FOR SURVIVAL JUST LIKE THE ENTIRE COUNTRY IS COUNTRY DEPEND ON NORTHERN NIGERIA FOR FOOD AND MEAT.

The bold part is a fallacy.
Stop repeating and spreading it.
Thank me later.

Kingozymandias:
You gotta give it to the igbo tribe... We have that Chinese productive and commercial spirit.

Nice one

Why is that not showing in the VAT contribution from south east?
Why are Igbos not staying home to make their place the economic powerhouse of Nigeria

Islie:
Oyo’s VAT revenue higher than total collection of 17 northern states

•South West generates more VAT revenue than other 5 zones

•North Central generates least revenue

In the period under review, the South-West geopolitical zone generated N518.856 billion, which is more than the N499.084 billion generated by the other five zones and the FCT.


North-Central zone with N19.451 billion had the lowest VAT revenue in the period under review.

The South-East had N23.548 billion, the North-East generated N27.75 billion, North-West had N56.727 billion, the South-South had N135.814 billion, while the FCT generated N235.794 billion.

PoliteActivist:
A rogue leaves clues like Atiku and Tinubu. If after years of digging all that powerful godfathers can come up with is Pandora, then the person is indeed a SAINT. See why below

Your threshold of being a rogue is different from mine, which is fine.

redcliff:
Obi only failed to declare his assets according to the report no be say him thief tax payers money unlike your favs

Did you read extracts of the 2012 thread on his lack of performance as Anamra governor?
And why did he fail to declare his assets if not to loot Anambrarians silly

emmabest2000:
At this stage it seems that both BAT and APC members are in confused state

Is he also confused about looting Lagosians and elevating his looting to the federal treasury?

PoliteActivist:
What God has ordained, no man can stop. If you try you'd just get rolled over!

#MovementPO!!!
#GenerationPO!!!

God does not ordain rogues, no matter how good they are at pretending.
That is Satan's job for its demons.

Praxis758:
He just said the obvious.

Obi’s consistent voice on his dexterity, prudence and managerial time in governance endeared Nigerians to him.

How many of our governors (both present and past) can boldly come on national television or social media and be boasting of how he cut down cost of governance or managed his state?

Obi has opened the eyes of millions of us. None of his supporters is monetarily induced.

Opened the eyes on how to be a failure and a rogue but successfully pretend to be a saint like Bubu did with Thiefnuibu in 2015 to bring us this change of calamity

TinubuDeDrugLor:
Their confusion never start.

Irresponsible old man who wouldn't respect his age.

Joe Igbokwe is a chronic liar.
Occultic man.

Joe Igbokwe is worse than a liar. He is a thief who can't even do his SSA job for gutters properly hence the perennial flooding of Lagos as the worst global city despite Thiefnuibu increasing IGR from the people's pockets since 1999.

This is very demeaning of our country.
The woman's twitter post is an affront to Nigeria.
They insult us and our president runs their to get treatment
Abeg my next life I no wan near Nigeria oh
God I am putting this to u respectfully

God is putting it to you respectfully to work hard on your own community instead of doing long throat for others who have worked and continue to work on making their own communities attractive. Got it

Chinjo2:
Why on earth would UK government sign such agreement with Nigerian government? Buhari is killing nigerians everyday through bad economic policies, bandits, iswap, fulani herdsme, Boko Haram and unknown gunmen are killing people daily. Those that have succeeded to travel out are being deported. For what? Are you bringing them back to be killed?

They are deporting them back to work on their LGA councillors and chairmen, state lawmakers and governors, representatives and senators who are responsible for the mess we created.
Do you understand that
Abi Nigerians helped Britons to fix their own country ni?

It’s well…

How is that so?
Self deception is the worst thing to do to oneself.

Herbal001:
People loves this man, however strong strategy is needed to win ground because Jagaban, Atiku are more desperate for the position he is also wooing...........

If Obi is not desperate, please why did he move to Labour Party from PDP? How are the two parties similar in ideology

Mjshexy:
Everyone should get his/her voter's card ready, that's the surest way to install our most preferred candidate. Money will fail a whole lot of them next year

Yes o, the way money failed Tinubu and Atiku on south east APC and PDP delegates, not so?
The way money failed APC in Ekiti state election

SmartPolician:
A peaceful revolution is upon us, peepz.

Even if Peter Obi cannot achieve anything, we just need him to instill discipline in public service.

Nigeria cannot continue to be used as bad examples and everything thinks it's normal.

Like the type of discipline that the crook displayed by hiding money from the taxman in Pandora?
What manner of fake packaging is that? The useless type that brought us the calamitous failure of Buhari through Emilokan Tinubu

I thought that a ghetto kid would do it for the Nigerian league players to generate greater interest and money plus jobs directly and indirectly for everything to do with our league and club merchandise.
Is that not the way to get out of the ghetto with other ghetto dwellers

richard870:
Some things are simply mysteries!

For Bubu’s lazy youths wey no want think deep

Dpharisee:
Rich have access to gym, swimming pool, cinema, boardroom scheming, money to go for holidays in a different city and wants the best of life for their kids, so they take family planning serious.

A poor man doesn't have access to the above, all they use to relieve stress is the Kpekus of their underfed wives and money to buy condom may not even be available so they keep popping babies, when you ask them why they are having more children in the midst of poverty they will wickedly tell you "na God dey give pikin, and the Lord will provide'

I dread poverty

Please how much is condom such that money for it is not available, compared with the money to give birth, feed and raise the baby that can pop up for unprotected sexx
Life is about priorities, finally.

Skyview01:
Buhari and Osinbajo would have simply forgiven them.

Is that how ThiefNuibu will also deal with them, by simply forgiving them

emerged01:
I can't applaud Lagos state for this. Commissioning of this kind of project is a disgrace. Normally,this is how all public schools should look like.

With every child in such schools with enough teachers employed. Not so

Totilopussylick:
Lagos state keeps growing rapidly on daily bases.

Kudos to governor sanwo olu

Growing on gbese, since Sanwo-Olu and his Lagos landlord godfather can’t stop stealing the people’s money

Johnrake69:
Lol... Most of you are so ignorant. More than 400 public enterprises were privatised. And today only about 10% is still functional. What happened to the rest? If you think privatisation of public enterprises is the solution to our myriad of problems then, you're completely out of touch with reality.

Please how many of the countries Nigerians are praying and fasting to japa to, have their businesses owned by the government as opposed to the private sector? Thanks

Johnrake69:
You can download labour party's manifesto. It's people's oriented. No sane Nigerian will support APC or PDP after going through Labour Party's manifesto.

In summary, the dogo turenci is a scam way of saying that LP is against privatisation, so that looters and rogues like Obi can continue the corruption that has wrecked government owned businesses like the NITELs of yore. Thanks to Atiku for deregulating the telcos sector with Obasanjo 22 years ago. Would we have nairaland without it

‎NNPC refineries are like buying a car in 1970 and retained it till 2019. It has been in use and not undergone major maintenance overtime. Since you bought the car, you gave the car to a driver for commercial purpose because he needs a job, you fuel it, do yearly registration renewals while you also pay the salary of the driver. You keep funding it because it is your asset.

A data from NNPC stated that the refineries made a loss of N132.5 billion in 2018 as well a loss of N95billion in 2017. Refineries which are huge revenue earner in some countries is a source of shame in Nigeria. What a pathetic thing to note that successive administrations have no solutions to the plight of those refineries.

I have carried out some maintenance works at Warri refinery a couple of times between 2014 and 2016. I must confess, that refinery is a carcass. With the knowledge of investment I have, I cannot buy it -even at a very low price- if I don't have modern technology and adequate finance to rehabilitate it. Take it or leave it, the refineries are long dead.   

Eleme Petrochemical Limited is back to life and producing beyond installed capacity after it was privatised to Indorama Company from India. I was  part of the team that participated in the expansion jobs  in 2015 of that once upon a time, long dead company. Take a trip to Eleme Junction, Port-Harcourt, the trailers having businesses to do at the Eleme Petrochemical company will give you headache, just to know the company has been revived. 



Finally, I still believe that privatisation is the way out.

Indorama Eleme Petrochemical Limited (IEPL), located in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria, a Group Company of Indorama Corporation, is a Poly-Olefins producer of a range of Polyethylene and Polypropylene products. IEPL was a 100% subsidiary of Nigerian Government owned Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) with the name Eleme Petrochemicals Company Limited (EPCL).

When the erstwhile EPCL was privatized, under the Privatization Program, the Indorama Corporation emerged as the core investor and acquired the Unit in August 2006. Since then, IEPL has recorded several achievements of smooth & stable operations, enhanced production capacities, winning of several global awards & certifications and has become a successful model of the Nigeria's Privatization Program

Everything in this section should be about Peter Obi. No one else.

Peter Obi the failure and lawless rogue

Angelfrost:
SouthEast is definitely locked for Peter Obi!

devnor:
South east is already lp

The same south east whose APC and PDP delegates collected money to vote against their own candidates? Abi what was the scores of the south east candidates

Fahdiga:
It is now the labour party vs others. Anyone who refused to join the ship now should have him or herself to blame when the ship sails. Fellow Nigerians, let's take back our dear country now or never.

What is the economic orientation of Labour Party on government or private sector run businesses

dreu2fine:
When time comes u people will sit at home if unknown gunmen issue directives.pls make una solve una problems first

Problems that were created by Obi's failures and looting being packaged as stingy whatever. If he industrialised the state in eight years, why is Anambra besieged by criminals

inforesource:
Make sure that the focus is on the unity of Nigeria, better economy will automatically reduce insecurity and lastly, equity. Peter Obi is like 1994 and 96 Super Eagles team, they were excellent and tribe was relegated to the background.

Were the 1994 and 96 Super Eagles failures and rogues who pretend to be performance saints like Obi?
How did superman Obi change the VAT and employment numbers in Anambra that has Nnewi industrial hub in his eight years? Do you know
