They don't have a Metro rail in the whole of Kenya, what they have is a commuter railway.

All the things you listed are false representation, there is nothing like functional water system in Kenya, they don't even have enough under the ground, 50% of the people lack access to water, they drink dirty and filthy water.
. whatever that's built in Nairobi did not come from the City of Nairobi, it comes from Kenya as a country, Lagos is a state, not a country.


What you have is called fake facts.

We are talking of making people accountable you are here defending corruption.



Even your picture shows 50% of Nairobians enjoy pipe-borne water. The only area you'll see such in Lagos is Ikoyi, VI, Ikeja and some parts of Yaba Even the pipes in Surulere are all gone.

I'm speaking of African cities you're say Kenya.
I choose Nairobi because it IGR is very low compared to Lagos and you're still shamelessly defending this corrupt system.
The IGR of Lagos alone is higher than that of Kenya, talk more of Nairobi!
Metro line / Metro gauge are all semantic. Is there a rail line in Lagos ( made by with State or Federal) that can get you from one part of it to another?

While the whole of Kenya is eyeing $45m in revenue lagos is already making #418b. Convert that to dollars at even #500 and see the gap between Lagos and the whole of Kenya.

My conclusion is, it's people that think like you do that make our politicians act the way they do. Most of us aren't holding them to a higher standard .

plaindealer:
The fact that you asked that question means you are likely not a Lagosian.

How come we don't see this kind of question when Lagos state commission projects, or when we post pictures of all the wonderful projects they commission? Or the money they fund the projects with falls from the tree?

Was it not the same funds they are constructing the 2 metro rail line with? What about the housing estates, Imota the largest rice mill in sub Africa, roads and bridges, including the best and the most beautiful bridge in Nigeria, the Lekki Ikoyi bridge that Nollywood can not wait to show in all their movies and shows?

I guess people like you have selective brains and eyesight, you only see when it convenient and blind when it's time to be mischievous.

Ikoyi bridge!
You dont know jack about developmental strides.

This is not about insulting someone because you lack facts. Read and be reformed.

Even Nairobi that that has lower IGR compared to Lagos has functional water system, metro line, constant power, functional public transportation.

Which of these does Lagos have?

Dsalvo:
Why don't you name them?

Even Nairobi that that has lower IGR compared to Lagos has functional water system, metro line, constant power, functional public transportation.

Which of these does Lagos have?

Do you even know that Lagos state is the fastest growing city in the WORLD?

How are our corrupt politicians preparing for the population?
Do they have any short term and long term strategy to complement the future prospects?
Or are they just concern about continuous stay in power ?

seguno2:
Please can someone, anyone fault this excellent submission
Any volunteer?

This is my argument too but you must admit that, in Nigeria, our options of good leaders are limited.
And ironically, Nigerians are only fixated on choosing among the bad leaders.

The options we give ourselves are always between a thief and an incompetent dunce.
The other better options, which are lesser parties, Nigerians will never notice them

Dsalvo:
Have you asked what your SE Governors have done with the IGR that "ultimately" comes out of the pockets of Igbos?

Lagos you remain obsessed with maligning is good enough to be the biggest home of Igbos in the entire universe outsidey your SE domain.

Yet who wants to relocate to wretched SE that your governors have horribly mismanaged and turned into no-go deadland zones?

Please, leave East alone. If they like let them enslave their generation.
I am Yoruba and I live in Lagos. Where are all these monies?
I mean, these are recorded IGR. And you and I know that only half of what Lagos generates is recorded.
Let's ask the relevant questions and stop all these irrational argument

DOTian:
The federal government should stop giving Lagos State any sort of monthly allocations unless as relief funds for say any sort of reasonable natural disasters..
The federal government has already helped Lagos to build up solid infastructure base more than any other state bar Abuja. This has given Lagos enough headstart in terms of monthly/yearly tax incomes bigger than that of most west African countries. I don't know why they will be dragging paltry allocations with the likes of Plautue, Osun or Ebony afterwards...

Many west African States are handling mega projects bigger than whatever Fashola or Sanwo Olu have done in Lagos State. Yet Lagos earns bigger revenue but will always be comparing herself with tiny Nigerian states. If the people of Lagos State are not willing to take actions to extricate themselves from the evil grip of the Tinubu odious dynasty, they should be forced to stew in their own juice! We can't be sharing our tiny oil money with some drug lord and his platoon of rampaging evil oligarchs..
Pls..

Thank you my brother


This is what I usually say but most Nairalanders haven't been to other African cities to see real project with real impacts of the people

ALHAJI WHY DID YOU DUMB THEM

Can't you simply correct him?

Haba

It's dump jare

adamsmith914:
Mumurism shall forever exist, so we shouldn’t compare California to Texas?

On what basis and context?
Is it their earning power?

You compare things of equal strength or potentials.

With the level of fund available for Lagos government Kwara is still trumping it on the development scare.
Are you saying Lagos is fully developed?

Tokskob2008:
Out of the 36 states governors i can pick just 3 that are actually doing fine.
Sanwo olu
Zulum
Wike
The rest are just nonsense or utterly nonsense depending on which category they fall in.

Among the three, only Zulum is doing fine.

With the amount of fund at the disposal of Wike and Sanwo olu and looking at other African city with same IGR as Lagos, Sanwo olu and past Lagos governors ought to be in prison

Put Sanwo olu as governor of Kebbi state and Let's see his performance.


The comparison should be among African cities with same IGR

Dear Tiwa,

Don't assume for a second you fooled me. I know the whole sex tape was orchestrated. No wonder there was no culprit and no charges.

How will he do that?

Half of Nigerians politicians can't explain their wealth

I just hope you were nice to her when she was a nanny.

Now she's your husband's step mum you have little choice though

Well fought. Victory deserved

I knew all the votes won't be up to 500k

So says

THE LOUD MOUTHED CHAMPION OF TRANSSION

Nice review.

So, how much is it in Nigeria now.

Someone wants to sell it to me for 80k

Does it have any cons I shook out for ?

GeneralDae:
Okay statistically as we see, Poland cannot be compared to Nigeria in terms of opportunities but my point is that from my personal experience with Polish citizens in Germany, how they populate the job market, and what a few have told me, the opportunities do not abound.
So I speak from the viewpoint that even citizens relocate enmass from Poland and so foreigners may also not find it that easy. But clearly I was wrong about opportunities in Poland in comparison to Lagos Nigeria.

These all steam from the fact that what will satisfy a Nigerian as a good job will certainly not be so for a Polish.
So to a Nigerian, Poland is okay

They are giving us a glimpse of Biafra

Kissiemu:
Politics is a local thing. In local elections people look at people to vote. They consider their relationship with the candidate and not necessarily his or her party.

They're still looking at party.

If they're looking personality Maduka stands out. But his party is not recognized at all.
Igbos will even see Accord Party as a Yoruba party

kettykin:
Anambra does not do money politics is the lesson learnt , th poorest of the contestant and a former unversity don won an election contested by billionaires , Anambra electorate voted human capital above money capital

Is Soludo the poorest?

Some people can be hopelessly sensational about anything or anyone they detest.

How do praying position of sitting for someone who's just recovering from a kneel surgery culminate to an outcry?
Even in churches if you're tired you can sit while praying.

Thanks for saying it.

Tinubu is tired and need to rest-period!

Bonesbreaker:
You see Yoruba people the can lick ur ass in your front and stab you at your back never ever trust any Yoruba person. this man once abused buhari government known dude is singing kwumya song! Fear Yorubaman

You are a fool!

Your tribe licked Atiku's rashes infested butt hole even while he poos and you what did it get you- more poos

Aufbauh:
It happened to me too, and it's very common in Abuja.
It's so demoralizing and discouraging listening to people you've held in high esteem in the Christendom spilling hate, inciting congregants to be lawless and so on.

Any church that spilled hatred from the pulpit against anyone or tribe, incite people against constituted authority, lump unfounded conspiracy theory to arouse sentiment, count me out.

The conviction i have had as a Christian is that of love and not of hate, for God is love. So anything outside this is heretical to me.

God is Love but He is quick to anger against oppressor of the downtrodden.

God with certainty deal with Buhari and co

This Adesina has gone bunker.
Is Buhari God that he should not be attacked?

With all the hardships,he's lucky Nigerian only attack him verbally

Hotels and Clubs are perfect avenues to launder ill gotten wealths.

A room may be unoccupied in a hotel for a month and the owner can claim it was occupied. And since people lodging are fond of using fake names, how do you trace that?

Same with clubs, you can claim a fictional drunk spent millions.

That's one hell of a slay dad.
