Ngwakwe: Go ask people in USA, and Europe. It is the middle class that is the engine of the economy and not big corporation.

Government that go about killing the middle class and small businesses and denying them the competitive ability is evil.

manny4life: I tell you my sister, this is pure VOODOO STATISTICS

Someone wakes up in the morning, while driving to work, they look out from their window and instantly judge that traffic accident has reduced by 95%. If I ask the man now, how many accidents to you record in a day compared to number of registers okadas, the man will begin to fumble and discombobulate figures. Other factors are not considered other than "the new traffic law", is that how stats work? I thought stats took into consideration all applicable variables? When was the law rolled out that in such short span of less than 60days, 95% reduction has taken place? Anyway, they should carry on before someone calls me bad belle

packman: are you mad for God sake this is Federal Government road not a street are you blind or you cant read.......

Boss13: Will I say Cosmas Maduka was greedy? Like he admitted his emotions got a better part of him and he felt he was helping his kinsman. Well if you have ever gone to Capital Oil at Ibafon you too would be convince at the infrastructures there. Cosmas did not do enough homework. He would have called Funke and Uju. Uju is still threatening to close capital oil down

solomon111: The day fashola will deport any south-south indigene with high political connections,is the day his political career is buried.
Then he will know who really runs this country.
Fuccking parasites.

We are parasites in our own land?

So why is the GDP of Oyo State higher than the GDP of any south eastern state? And why is it that only Imo has a higher GDP in the whole of the SE than Ogun State? The GDP of the SW states minus Lagos is higher than the GDP of the SE states. To add Lagos will be overkilling it

kutchs: Just leave Lagos out and tell us what is developed about Yoruba cities. Tell me about Ibadan, osogbo, ado-ekiti, ogbomosho, ife, abeokuta, lets see how developed they are.

adefash: This is a good idea. Since it has been predicted that lasgidi will be washed away by flood in the next 50yrs, this will make us have exact figure of those who will be washed away.(pardon me this is an expensive joke)

akigbemaru: It is only an idiot will go against this new development. In America where I live, I have gotten more than 22 state ID cards, federal says that you must declare your change of address within 11 days if you and if you move to another states, you can't even use a common library without declaring proof of resident. This is what I usually do, find somebody within the state or from another state to send a letter to me and put my names on it, once they see that at the library, they will issue you library card right away.
State ID is really good, it also help to solve crimes. Example like Igbo boys that killed that girl from Lagos Hotel , they came from other state and perpetuated their evilness and went back to their state, with ID card with tumb print, you can trace their finger prints!
For others that criticize it, Yoruba always take the lead and you follow and finally like it too. So get used to it.

oyb: works every time

who knows what the man and his other paddy aig (access) may be saying about yorubas in private

kennytidistar: will you give serving corpper in lagos separate ID card? this fashola must be a slowpoke and not sensitive at all.

Baby mama:
It is not explicit and you have not explained a thing
Do you realize some homes do not have electricity
So what bill will those residents show as proof?

Baby mama: Ok
It gets funnier
So now I can get a NEPA bill from anybody in Lagos,claim that as my residence and voila I become a Lagos resident
How about homes without electricity?
They are excluded from Lagos residency
What is the advantage of a Lagos ID and the disadvantage in not having one

CuntDestroyer: F00LS will remain f00ls.


none of you in support of this policy have been able to prove to me why this is a good idea.

The burden of proof seems to be on those who oppose this wasteful endeavor.

Rather than invest such funds into public utilities you want to waste it on card registration.

If the aim behind this is to ascertain the population of Lagos why not conduct a censor? Won't that be far cheaper?

By issuing a resident card you assume that certain individuals are entitled to certain privileges and rights and the only one I can think of for now is the right to register to vote.

I believe strongly the the Lagos state assembly would come out in the future with another Law that states that only valid residents will be eligible to register to vote.

Dont be f00led this is not to improve Lagos but to ensure power remains within the same thieving establishment.

If y'all can't see that, then y'all must be blind.

Baby mama: And if I have come to Lagos stay,I am still not a resident.At what point after I get off a Chisco bus do i become a resident based on your earlier definition
So to have resident card one must have a bank statement,so all Lagosians must be employed and must have bank accounts,I believe u are assuming that banks send out bank statements to their customers in Nigeria
Please educate us on proof of address,how does a card issuer verify one's address In Lagos and what proof of address does one bring
What utilities?
Water or electricity?
How about people that have neither of the two since NEPA bills are often just in the landlords name

You don't sound like you spent any adult years in Nigeria

coogar: there's council tax in lagos(i think) but its called tenement rate!

congestion charge is very necessary in lagos island - if you drive in the congestion zone, N10,000 flat! failure to pay that day and the value increases until lastma tracks down the car and impound it. all those yahoo boys who drive aimlessly around the island to show off their newly bought 2nd hand cars and build up needless traffic would stay put in the suburbs....

road tax and MOT should also be introduced and enforced religiously.....only the people who can afford to stay in lagos should be in lagos.......i want to stay near buckingham palace too but i cannot afford £10,000 per week to rent a flat there.....same principle should apply in lagos!
