It's as real as white on rice.

Same thing I have been saying that Nigeria should have pulled out a long time ago..., why would an organisation be dictating how to sell your product?

We don't have the production capacity to dictate anything.

They did the same thing with Zambia.

nedekid:
Do you even understand who pays the debt?

What's this one saying?

Lagos GDP is $259 Billion Dollars.

Here you are crying about $2 Billion.

Clature:
As we have a national comprehension problem, let me help you understand what he is trying to say.

All the man is saying is just do even the barest minimum of small ordinary light for a few hours (not that they should not do better) but even at that, the leadership is still failing. And he is right. Let’s listen and read to comprehend, it’s not hard.

You can imagine the number of people that misinterpreted what Deji said.

Nigeria, we have a problem.

How was Ambode able to do all he did without taking loans? It is on record that the debt was that he met from previous administrations. Note also he stopped lastma, vio etc from generating revenue for government, despite that it is glaring he did more than any other. Revenue generated by Lagos of preduntly managed makes the state not to require any loans infact it should run a surplus. Are you not aware Ambode cut all the excesses of Fashola time? I know because I had a customer who worked in Lagos ministry of finance. I knew the day he started work there. I saw the spending curve within a short space of time, Oga dude will say hello to a babe and give her 50k just to appreciate her beauty, I am not talking of now ohh when naira has spoilt, I mean during Fashola time when naira was still valuable. This guy it was alleged dropped 45m cash for his house to be built on turnkey basis, young man back them.
Guess what? Immediately Ambode came in, he knew all the loopholes and blocked it ensuring more revenue for government(abi why do you think civil servants hated him and did not want him back). Within months that guy's lifestyle changed, no more money, he has so struggle to adjust his lifestyle to his salary.
The issue is because loans are available to be taken, must government take it?
We see people here on this forum in their personal life will take sokoloan, take opay loan then start complaining when it is time to pay, if those facilities were not there wount they survive without the loan? Someone on this forum showed his opay loan limit of 2.5m few days ago, even me that does not use it have 1.3-1.5m loan offer on opay yet I live my life without taking it by cutting my coat according to my seize. What is wrong in Lagos or any other state living within its means, save for 2 years while doing only essential capital projects then saving or accumulating billions then singing the money to fund infrastructure in a sustainable way?
Two siblings got 100m each. One took 20m and bought a car, used another 10m to fix one or two things in his life, he further used another 10m to fly abroad for good time. 40m done go, he is left with 60m
The other sibling placed the whole 100m in treasury bills or FD at Eg 20% for 1 year and got 20m cash upfront. He then buys a 10m naira car, uses 5m to sort pressing issues and 5m for his own good time travels, after 1 year he still has his 100m complete while his brother has 60m.

Continue crying.

2 billion dollars of debt is not extraordinary for an economy the size of Lagos.

cyril10:
This guy has really lost it, i don't think he knows what he says this time. This hypocrite is systematically supporting Tinubu, he doesn't want to come out open.

Not sure you read what was written.

If you did, you probably applied bias.

If anything, he was lampooning the government.

nedekid:
Wount it have been better without debt?

You're nitpicking.

Is a 2 billion dollar debt by Lagos state unexpected?

A total of 2 billion dollars is by how much Lagos is indebted.

With all this Caplux on her face, how would I recognise her ?

Not a big deal for Lagos.

And yet still remains one of the top tourist attractions for westerners and Asians ....regions regarded as the safest


And yet the migrant magnet of Africa .

And yet hasn't gotten so scary and helpless to the point that we beg we'll known terrorists (US Army) to come and save us from ourselves

The joke is on you

Yes, Nigeria is experiencing a steady increase in tourism as of early 2026, driven by a "booming" domestic market and a surge in cultural tourism. While international arrivals grew by a modest 2% in 2024 (reaching roughly 1.3 million), the broader African continent recorded a 12% increase in tourism in the first half of 2025, with Nigeria remaining a key player in this regional
Key Growth Drivers.

"Detty December" & Diaspora Tourism: [/b]The festive season has become a major global cultural event. In December 2024, Lagos alone generated approximately ₦111.5 billion (~$73 million) in tourism and entertainment revenue, with hotels reaching over 90% occupancy.

Domestic Expansion: There was a recorded 20% growth in domestic travel recently, as Nigerians increasingly explore local attractions like the Lekki Conservation Centre and the Lisabi Festival in Abeokuta

Lionessza6:
I love it,but are you now safer after your saviors landed?

Yes, South Africa has a very high crime rate, including high levels of violent crime, carjacking, and assault. It ranks among the top five countries with the highest crime index globally and has one of the highest murder rates in the world, with many violent crimes taking place in residential areas, often involving firearms.

Key Facts on Crime in South Africa:
Violent Crime Hotspots: Crime is not evenly distributed; it is heavily concentrated in specific hotspots, making some areas safer than others.
Types of Crime: Common violent crimes include aggravated robbery, murder, sexual offences, and armed home invasions.

City Rankings: Several South African cities, including Pietermaritzburg, Pretoria, and Johannesburg, have been ranked among the most dangerous on the continent.

Precautionary Measures: It is strongly advised to avoid walking alone, stay in well-lit areas, and be cautious with valuables.

I embrace it but you don't seem to think they'd be safer under the protection of the mighty American chiefs?

Has a ring to it.

They should flee to Ipobland or the Middle belt. I hear it's safe for black Africans

Lionessza6:
I think the likes of Elon Musk have already been successfully repelled from South Africa, so thanks for the concern.

But it’s interesting that you’re talking about recolonisation while your own country is already struggling with external political influence and internal religious and tribal divisions. Your government now spends time and resources hiring lobbyists abroad just to counter IPOB’s smear campaigns, while ordinary citizens continue to suffer and migrate in large numbers.

Meanwhile, there are already foreign military interests operating on your soil.....and history has shown many times that once those boots arrive, they rarely leave a country better than they found it.

So instead of predicting South Africa’s downfall, maybe focus on rescuing your own country from the pressures it is currently facing. Migration patterns don’t happen by accident....they reflect deeper problems at home that statements and threats cannot fix.
✌️

I'm talking about deliberate policies to recolonise countries.

Do you even pay attention to the news, or you just jump on Nigerian forums to instigate fights?

When Lagos aims for something, you know it would achieve it.

👏 👏 👏 👏

Lionessza6:
That peace loving Africans like Nigerians can't seem to stay away from.....I can't stop laughing

If I recount my episode in Cape Town, it's very shameful of you lot.

I've only decided not to speak about it as a few friends might sus out my identity.

You lot need to grow up.

If the likes of Elon Musk have their way, you'll be recolonised, and you'll not be able to do anything about it.

You've ticked off allies and you'll bear this strain alone.

Another FAFO moment.

Kukutente23:
What is this one saying. When did Trump say anything like that
Abi you don high ni

You have no agency of your own.

Just a serf.

Kukutente23:
Yeah

They want peace by declaring death to US

Why didn't you say this before Trump said it?

Follow follow.

No agency, just a serf.

Helinuse:
Eyah!

They are no more the country that “is demystifying the American myth?”

What had US gained?

Rebelutionary:
US wants same but they will the term of that "peace"!

If peace for Iran means going back to Uranium enrichment...that blockade will sit for as long as possible as America profits of it. Let's watch how the cookie crumbles!

Graa GRA no dey pay!

Iran would enrich Uranium and there's nothing US can do about it.

Man wey sabi business.

Money na water.

Iran wants peace.

Can we say the same about US?
