Business / Re: Otedola Partners Lagos And AfDB To Start Nigeria’s First PPP Power Transmission by ibroo21: 11:40am On Jul 12, 2023
franchasofficia:
I chose to respond to your comment because of some points you raised and to clear you on some misconceptions you have.


For your info, I am Pro-Sanwo-Olu just as I am pro Osinbajo. The only person I have issue with is Bola Tinubu and its based on his leadership style that focuses more on taxing the poor to be shared among him and his staunch supporters and party loyalists which is like robbing hardworking Peter to pay lazy Paul.


Lagos is the most taxed state in Nigeria yet Lagos have the most deplorable intra-city roads, go round Satelite town, Ojo, Ikotun, Maza-Maza, Festac, Oshodi, Mafoluku, Isolo, Ikeja GRA, etc and you will be wondering if those areas are part of the big city like Lagos that ought to be moving towards competing with globally recognized megacities like Paris, Cape Town, Cairo, Casablanca, Jbourg, etc.



It is only in Lagos that they collect the so called annual land use charge from house owners. No Southeast state collect that, I doubt any collects it in the North or Southsouth or in other Southwest states. These are mega monies being made by Lagos state, count how many houses in Lagos and you will understand. On top that, Lagos generates huge IGR all thanks to its location and positioning as longest capital city of Nigeria that enjoyed several privileges even till date. Yet Lagos is the most indebted state that have borrowed the most loan from external lenders, have you wondered where all that money is? With all the huge billions and trillions Lagos generates, Lagos ought not to have deplorable intra-city roads it has all over Lagos.



Lagos is the only state that charge business owners and shop owners for rainfall water guard that extends in front of a shop to prevent water from entering the shop or house, Lagos charge all shops and buildings for that, no other state does. Lagos state charge for radio if your business is operating within an LGA, they also charge for all forms of signage unlike other states that overlook these things. These are just a few of Lagos slavish taxes I can remember now.



Many states today are copying Lagos slavish tax system, even Anambra's Soludo is foolishly copying it.


Tinubu believes in taxing Nigerians like UK citizens but refuse to work for Nigerians like UK Government.


Before you start taxing and milking people anyhow, you ought to be ready to deliver excellent services to global standard like the western countries you are copying their tax system.


Today, the same Tinubu is introducing all manner of slavish tax systems into the federal government. From withholding tax which will cripple and force businesses and companies out of Nigeria to market traders and street traders tax net he is widening to milk already suffering and dejected Nigerians struggling to make ends meet via highly competitive and oversaturated buying and selling.


It was because of Bola Tinubu's slavish tax style that made me wished for a new party to take over Lagos. Initially I was rooting for Funke and Jandor of PDP cos I never saw GRV and LP as having the clout to restle power out of APC in Lagos but behold they gained serious momentum close to the election and made me started routing for GRV. Both GRV, Jandor and Sanwo-olu are all bonafide Yoruba sons, so what is wrong in choosing to vote one of them? Must everybody follow Bola Tinubu's choice?



It is well sha.


Time will open everybody's eyes to the truth, just a matter of time
While there is no doubt that Lagos still has a long way to go, I can confidently say that it is on track due to the quality of leadership that has guided the state. We often compare Lagos to other big cities in the world, but we often ignore the fact that these cities have access to resources that are incomparable to what is generated in Lagos. For example, the city of London alone has a budget that is more than the entire budget of Nigeria. Additionally, these cities have histories that span hundreds of years, while Lagos is a relatively new city.

Lagos has embarked on some very ambitious projects that are either entirely financed by the state or through public-private partnerships. These projects are not seen in any other state in Nigeria, except when they are financed by the federal government. For example, Lagos has the Lagos Rail Project, the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge, and the Lagos Mass Transit. There are many other projects that I cannot mention here. This shows the leadership of the state clearly have the ambition and the capacity to moved the state forward.

As for Tinubu, he is a politician with massive influence. Politics is a dirty game, and a lot of negative things have been said about him, whether true or false. However, there is no doubt that he is a smart man with the capacity to identify smart people to work with him. He has set Lagos on the right track, and I hope he will replicate that success in Nigeria at large, even though this is a different ball game.

Is this bitter rant necessary? You made a beautiful post but spoilt it with this unnecessary bitter comment.


I am Igbo, a reputable man from my community is Femi Otedola's close friend and ally right from the time of Goodluck. He was among the people that mediated for Otedola when he was bankrupt and Goodluck bailed him. He visited Otedola almost monthly in Ghana where Femi was spending most of his time then until Goodluck came to power and bailed him. He is Igbo, he is closer to Femi Otedola than you that's same tribe with Femi Otedola.



My point is, only poor wretched and bitter people carry tribalism on their head like gala even when there is no need to.



I lived in Lagos for years, Lagos favored me a lot. I owe Lagos state tribute for my life's success. I cherish Lagos even more than my own state. I never wished Lagos bad, in fact I once wished Lagos could become a megacity like Paris, reason I supported a change in government in Lagos so Lagos can achieve its full potentias. I never for once disrespected Lagos and will never do. I paid all my levies and dues and even tax to Lagos state government. I contributed in my community development in Lagos because I was once a committee member of my LCDA and estate. We ensured we had adequate security. The chairman of my estate landlord and tenants association for over 6 years was an Igbo man.



Many of you go about spreading falsehood about Igbos and causing unjustified hatred for Igbos by falsely lying that Igbos don't honor or respect their host and I keep wondering how? This worthless claim only come to limelight every 4 years in Lagos that its election time that Lagos APC use the tactics to deceive bigots like you to vote for them and attack Igbos yet you refuse to use your wisdom.



Tell me categorically how Igbos disrespect Lagos indigenes in Lagos?



Don't start that Lagos is a no man's land mantra cos it was a positive slang started by a Yoruba man who was Lagos Governor and some Igbos used it to explain how welcoming Lagos is to everybody without discrimination. Never for once did Igbos contest to become Oba in Lagos? Have Igbos ever attacked Lagosians in a bid to snatch and take over their lands like Fulani herdsmen do to you, yet you never for once condemned Fulani tribe for that.



God and divinity will judge people like you. Be careful in life, life is deeper than internet fun and cruise catching cos u are causing heavy hatred and distortion of truth with the potential of causing genocide and ethnic civil war.



What crime did Igbos commit in 2023? That Peter Obi an Igbo man contested for Nigeria's President? First time Igbos massively supported an Igbo Presidential candidate after Igbos supported Presidential candidates from other tribes; Shagari (Hausa), Obasanjo (Yoruba), Yaradua (Fulani), Goodluck (Ijaw), Atiku (Fulani) yet you guys have been going on rampage just because Igbos supported an overqualified and competent Igbo Presidential candidate for once.



Be honest, if it was Igbos that produced Obasanjo from 1999 to 2006, Osinbajo from 2015 to 2023, and still insisted they must produce next President in 2023, how will Yorubas and Hausa-Fulanis have reacted to it? You guys would have told the whole world how greedy, heartless and arrogant Igbos are and how greedy Igbos are trying to dominate Nigeria by not allowing other Southern tribes to produce President.


God is watching you all, sorrow may endure for the night but joy will definitely come in the morning, you all will live to see what the Lord can do
.
If you actually have the best interests of Lagos at heart, why would you want to change the leadership of Lagos, which is arguably the best-governed state in Nigeria? And to imagine that you are willing to vote for GRV, a man with no proven record of excellence, against a performing governor like Sanwo-Olu, shows that you have something else in mind besides good governance. Why is it that the Igbos have always voted against the leadership in Lagos, from Fashola to Sanwo-Olu, regardless of whether they perform well or not? Before the election, I was open to an OBI presidency against Atiku, even though I supported Tinubu. But seeing the kind of hatred his people have shown despite the amount of support they got from the southwest, I will never consider it again.

Arewa1stSon:
Southern presidency is possible!!

But...

Dear south west... Forget anything presidency!!

Even if power is going to the south.... It will never be south west!!
You people have been canceled!!

Even if power is going to leave the north!!

It will be going to the south south!!


Just for the Records: Northerners in Oyo, Ogun etc were attacked, killed, properties destroyed and displaced in what was a planned ethnic attack.

No single Yoruba Leader either political or monarch came out to openly condemn this barbaric act.

we will never forget the killing of our innocent northern traders in the south west!!

Even most educated yorubas both online and offline justified the barbaric act!!

the NORTH remembers

Tell Tinubu that there's still time to form a political party that will bring the whole south together against the north!!

Atleast that will be a small challenge for the north... Than wasting his time and leter be kicked aside!

The north will never support a Yoruba into the corridor of power!!

Thank God that you people showed your hatred for the north on time....

I will even prefer an igbo man... My face to face enemy into power... Than a bloody back stabber!!


See, I don't need someone to build me roads or bridges in 2023. All I want is someone that will restructure this crazy system, so that North we never have to concern itself with how Southwest is govern and likewise. Be rest assured, whichever candidate the South present is surely going to put the North in place because Buhari has set a precedence.Your only option is that power remain in the North and will only speed up the desolution of this country, you leaders know this as well. I am going to vote for anybody from the south even if it's an Igbo person.

Generations of illiterates. I wish I knew earlier. Useless terrorists and Street beggars. Keep ranting, your paedophile prophet already in hell,you'll soon join him.
You are so pained that someone insulted an ordinary
Oyedapo but you are quick to rain curse, insult and abuse on a whole prophet of God and you think you are save? Anyway am not surprised by your utterance be cause the Quran has already describe you guys
At-Taubah 9:31

ٱتَّخَذُوٓا۟ أَحْبَارَهُمْ وَرُهْبَٰنَهُمْ أَرْبَابًا مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَٱلْمَسِيحَ ٱبْنَ مَرْيَمَ وَمَآ أُمِرُوٓا۟ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُوٓا۟ إِلَٰهًا وَٰحِدًاۖ لَّآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَۚ سُبْحَٰنَهُۥ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ

They have taken their scholars and monks as lords besides Allah, and [also] the Messiah, the son of Mary. And they were not commanded except to worship one God; there is no deity except Him. Exalted is He above whatever they associate with Him.

But know that you will certainly be questioned on what you said, so you better prepare your answer well because Oyedapo will not be there to save you.
An-Nahl 16:56

وَيَجْعَلُونَ لِمَا لَا يَعْلَمُونَ نَصِيبًا مِّمَّا رَزَقْنَٰهُمْۗ تَٱللَّهِ لَتُسْـَٔلُنَّ عَمَّا كُنتُمْ تَفْتَرُونَ

And they assign to what they do not know a portion of that which We have provided them. By Allah, you will surely be questioned about what you used to invent.

Onechancearmy:


The niceness of ANY Christian always has to do with the Bible. Jesus commands us to love even our enemies as much as we love ourselves:

Matthew 5:44

But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
The Quran also says
Al-Mumtahanah 60:8

لَّا يَنْهَىٰكُمُ ٱللَّهُ عَنِ ٱلَّذِينَ لَمْ يُقَٰتِلُوكُمْ فِى ٱلدِّينِ وَلَمْ يُخْرِجُوكُم مِّن دِيَٰرِكُمْ أَن تَبَرُّوهُمْ وَتُقْسِطُوٓا۟ إِلَيْهِمْۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُحِبُّ ٱلْمُقْسِطِينَ

Allah does not forbid you to deal justly and kindly with those who fought not against you on account of religion and did not drive you out of your homes. Verily, Allah loves those who deal with equity.

وَلَا تَسْتَوِي الْحَسَنَةُ وَلَا السَّيِّئَةُ ادْفَعْ بِالَّتِي هِيَ أَحْسَنُ فَإِذَا الَّذِي بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَهُ عَدَاوَةٌ كَأَنَّهُ وَلِيٌّ حَمِيمٌ وَمَا يُلَقَّاهَا إِلَّا الَّذِينَ صَبَرُوا وَمَا يُلَقَّاهَا إِلَّا ذُو حَظٍّ عَظِيمٍ

Not equal are the good deed and the bad deed. Repel evil by that which is better, and then the one who is hostile to you will become as a devoted friend. But none is granted it except those who are patient and none is granted it except one having a great fortune.

Surah Fussilat 41:34-35

This shows how much hatred these people have for Islam and Muslim, anyway It's not surprising,Allah already warn us in the Quran "Aal-e-Imran 3:118

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا تَتَّخِذُوا۟ بِطَانَةً مِّن دُونِكُمْ لَا يَأْلُونَكُمْ خَبَالًا وَدُّوا۟ مَا عَنِتُّمْ قَدْ بَدَتِ ٱلْبَغْضَآءُ مِنْ أَفْوَٰهِهِمْ وَمَا تُخْفِى صُدُورُهُمْ أَكْبَرُۚ قَدْ بَيَّنَّا لَكُمُ ٱلْءَايَٰتِۖ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ

O you who believe! Take not as (your) Bitanah (advisors, consultants, protectors, helpers, friends, etc.) those outside your religion (pagans, Jews, Christians, and hypocrites) since they will not fail to do their best to corrupt you. They desire to harm you severely. Hatred has already appeared from their mouths, but what their breasts conceal is far worse. Indeed We have made plain to you the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses) if you understand.
