Safe journey Oga Fash, sha...

Billyonaire: Sometimes I wonder why some people who don't even have shelter of their own in Lagos are more Pro-Lagos, than us Land Lords in Lagos. What PDP, Lagos State Chapter is opining is fair play and equity to PDP Councilors (In Lagos State), to develop their constituency (In Lagos State), for the constituents (In Lagos State).

The Comparison is merely and fact fully necessary because (our) Lagos Governor, seems to play politics on Party and Tribal lines against the tenets of micro-democracy in the very Microcosmic Lagos.

Can you tribal Yorubas cease to be stupid 99% of the time?

IGBO-SON:


^^^And just to add:
*He approved the construction of a new airport terminal at MMIA.
*He approved Lagos as one of the four cities to host the planned aerotropolis hub.....others being Kano, Abuja and Port Harcourt.
*He approved the reconstruction of the Lagos-Ibadan expressway (something a shon of de shoil didn't get round to doing throughout his 8 years presidency).

fabulous4u:
*he added Lagos request for a $200m foreign loan proposal demand to the mtef for 2014 to facilitate the completion of Lagos light rail and some projects in Lagos.
*he approved the construction of a fast rail between Lagos and Ibadan
*he approved the construction of an additional port in Lagos to be located at lekki.
*has been involved on some federal roads in Lagos e.g third mainland bridge ,oshodi apapa expressway etc .
*has approved a construction of a greenfield refinery in lekki by a joint venture of NNPC and ccecc.
*have attracted several investors to Lagos just like the one were currently commenting on.
he did all this despite the bias and hate the APC and their apologists have shown him because he as a person has proven that he can rise above hate .
so can u now stop been bias and truthful to your conscience .
you asked for one but I just overfed you now can u please rise above hate?

fabulous4u:
Mr man stop been a tribalist and admit that gej has been fair to Lagos.
is that so hard to admit if you're not bias

remark D: Buddy, we know how much y'all love Lagos (as opposed to Oyo or Ibadan) ... but why not give credit to whom credit is due?

You know if the president was a northerner or some tribalistic goon that for whatever reason, as Obasanjo did, seek to marginalise Lagos... do you think this news will even be rumored, talkless of having a good prospect as it does now?

GEJ aint like that... whether it is an int'l airport in Enugu... or a manufacturing plant in Lagos... improved agricultural practises in the North or sea ports in the south... why not give this man credit as the most hardworking of all the past leaders Naija has ever had.... check all the past presidents, how many of them have done half of what GEJ has done so far....? the ball has been set rolling for constant power supply, and it had to take an Ijaw man to do it... grand strides, huge developments, changes on the face and landscape of Nigeria have been mostly from a section of this so-called 'One Nigeria... '

Again, bro... give credit to whom, when and as due... is that too much to ask for?

Now can I hear you say 'GEJ till 2019!'? or take it further if you've been loving the fresh air and go 'GEJ till 20XX! where X>19 lol..)

PhenomenonVFX: Come on geeez, now u are just being petty.
The the last sentence in the 2nd paragraph in that article clearly states it is the IGR for 2012. Come on dude. Are u still gonna deny the obvious to satisfy ur agenda? If so let me cease this discussion with u then. I was expecting some open-mindedness from u.
And the whole article was being critical of the Ebonyi administration's policies. If u took ur own advice and read it, u would have realised that. The article claims that Ebonyi has a lot of potential and investor are interested in it but the state government was frustrating their efforts. So the words you highlighted in red above goes to serve the same purpose.
No matter how u spin this, u know deep within u that Ebonyi is trying in d area of IGR especially compared with Anambra and Abia that can surely generate 10 times that.

PhenomenonVFX:


@geez check this article out.
http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/ebonyi-when-politics-spurns-development/144179/

Ebonyi's IGR for last year was put around 14 billion plus. That is well over 1 billion a month. I never said it is 1.6 billion. But u best believe it is one of the highest IGR in d SE. And we should give them kudos for that if Anambra and Abia are only doing around 500 million a month.
That said, an LG that produces 60k annually is actually not doing its job well or they are embezzling d money. Or it could be that the people, like most people in the SE, are tax averse. Same with Anambra and Abia. Something is just not right there. Those guys should be audited.

PhenomenonVFX:

Dude u are d person who likes pulling out IGR factoids here. U shouldnt be asking for a credible source if u can look it up urself.
That said, Ebonyi has d highest IGR in d Southeast followed by Enugu with 1 bn naira monthly.
The funny things is that these are the two less vibrant economies in the Southeast.
That shows that the governors of Anambra and Abia are busy sleeping. Either they are under-quoting their IGR or they are not doing the needful in terms of taxation and all. Either way, something isnt right somewhere.
Anambra alone can generate an IGR 10 times that of Ebonyi. Even more so with Abia. Those governors should be investigated

Pukkah: Where was the government when the houses were being built? Who gave the approvals? Or who looked away from the buildings when they were being constructed?

How can the Commissioner now be planning to punish the house owners without including all the government officials and civil servants who either granted the approvals or looked away while the houses were being built?
