plaindealer:You people are pathetic. So population us now a burden? So what do you want China with a population of 1.4 billion to do? Nigeria is not even up to 300m and we are complaining about population. What if we are 1billion? Our leaders won't even do anything again. Is it not our population that makes us the biggest economy in Africa? Is the govt feeding Nigerians or we are the one feeding them? Abeg, take a seat. |
OjukuwuHusband:Same reason Nigeria is not like S.A. But two wrongs doesn't make right |
Biafranboys:Thank you my brother. I don't know why some people can't reason beyond political party, ethnic and religion. The money being made is Lagos is not commensurate to what we see on ground when we compare Lagos to other African cities like Nairobi, Joburg, Cairo, Algiers |
And what has those managing Lagos done with all these revenue earned? Later some ill-informed people will start comparing Lagos any State in Nigeria. If you want to be objective compare Lagos with Joburg, Nairobi, Cairo, etc. These are cities earning IGR in the region of Lagos State. Look at those cities and compare their facilities with Lagos . |
We import virtually everything. So apart from crude oil and cocoa, what else do we export? This FG is just playing lip service to diversification of the economy. They don't even know how to do it or they lacked the political will |
Nigeria is the number one importer of commercial services in Africa in 2020, data released by World Trade Organisation showed on Friday. The Geneva-based international trade organisation ranked Nigeria 25th commercial importer in the world but the first commercial importer in Africa followed by Egypt which was ranked 28th in the world. While Egypt and Morocco made the list of world exporters led by the United States, Nigeria was conspicuously absent in the global commercial exporters’ list. The US also ranked first in the commercial importers’ list followed by China, United Kingdom and Japan; while US, UK, China and India topped the exporters’ list.

WTO noted that preliminary estimates were based on quarterly statistics. “Figures for a number of countries and territories have been estimated by the Secretariat,” it said. “Data for 2020 are not yet available for the United Arab Emirates. In 2019, commercial services exports were valued at US$72 billion and imports at US$73 billion.” Nigeria’s former Finance Minister, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, is the first African and first female director-general in the 26-year history of the WTO. https://www.google.com/amp/s/punchng.com/breaking-nigeria-is-number-one-importer-in-africa-says-wto/%3famp

This is 20 years late for a city like Lagos. But like they say, " it's better late than never." |
Balkan:No, it's for allow the pupils to be misinformed. Clearance had to be given before anyone can address the pupils |
Same thing happened to my elder brother 6 years ago at a College of Education in the North. He exposed the financial impropriety in the institution and he was sacked and forced out of the staff quarters. All the while he get alerts of his salary till date. Since my dad is a politician he tried to settle it for 4 years with no luck. 2 years ago he took the school to court for forcefully ejecting him from quarters. He won that case and the school was asked to pay 8m. Since the didn't, the school bus was confiscated. He also took them to Industrial Court last year on his illegal sack. The school lawyer appeared in court once, called no witness and raised no objection because evidence against them is overwhelming. The pronouncement by the judge is next month. What I'm trying to say is, don't waste time negotiating. Take them to court. My brother wasted 4 years trying to reason with them but las, las, Nah court dey settle am now . |
Nice to see a male actor do something too. |
PVision2020:Did you say Ishodi, Iyana ipaja and Berger were slum? And what are they now? Even Surulere were I grew up wasn't a slum in the 80s and 90s. What is it now? So you're now telling us that population is a liability? China must be in trouble then. I listed certain basic amenities people need like water, road, power, transport ( there are 3 major mode of this, only one is being used in Lagos ), health and security. Nairobi and Joburg have constant power, functional water system and a metro line. Lagos has none if these. I really don't expect anyone to argue this because it clear to see. The govt doesn't feed us, we feed people in govt. The last palliative they shared how many Nigerians got it? I didn't. And I didn't meet anyone who did. So what has our population got to do with it. Population is even a blessing. If not for population Nigeria, with our leaders doing nothing, will never be the biggest economy in Africa. Search yourself and tell yourself the truth. Lagos is better off without Tinubu and he doesn't deserve to be president if Nigeria |
Do her attackers touched her phone? Can't the police arrest area boys around that area and take their finger prints? At least that'll be a start |
PVision2020:You are not been fair to other states in Nigeria if you keep comparing their performance with Lagos. Take a look at the distance between Lagos and other states in terms of revenue and delete this your comment. https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/more-news/419020-lagos-rivers-fct-ogun-earned-more-than-other-33-states-combined-in-first-half-2020-nbs.html How can you compare the performance of someone earning 500,000 to a person earning 50,000 per month? That's exactly what you're doing. To be fair and objective, let's compare Lagos with other African cities earning the same IGR. That would be a fair fight, wouldn't it? Now, just to shock you and expose Tinubu for whom he really his, if Lagos were to be a country, it'll the the 7th largest economy in Africa. A huge revenue is being in Lagos. But travel to Cairo, Nairobi, Joburg, etc cities with same IGR as Lagos and see the facilities these cities have. Ambode initiated ambulance, can those ambulance be called to picK a sick person at any Lagos home? I was born in Lagos just like you so I know what I'm saying . You people don't know jack because you've not travelled to other cities in Africa and see what they have . A reasonable person will wonder where are the revenue being made going to ? This is not to pull down Tinubu but to say the truth. Apart from being a Yoruba, I've been an APC member since 2014 but that should never negate the truth if I have any conscience at all
|
RapistOnBail:You want them to go to a gun battle with knives? Moreover, these hoodlums choose easy preys. It's not like they are attacking only Lasu students. |
OneTemplate:So I want to malign Tinubu on only one point? I listed 5, but unavailability of the rest in a state you claimed Tinubu has developed with huge revenue did not bother you? This even shows you have no knowledge of the power policy. I am an Apc member but not blind to the inconspicuous facts Fasola had said states can generate their power. They only need too be creative about it https://www.nairaland.com/4071014/states-free-build-own-power https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/more-news/243825-states-free-build-power-plants-fashola.html |
OneTemplate:Do you live in Lagos at all? Which other place are you comparing Lagos with? Is there constant power? Functional water system? Good road network? Metro line? Functional ambulance service? Effective police response to crime? Lemme just stop here cos the answers to all the above are No. These are all services you can find in cities in Africa with same revenue earning power as Lagos. Obviously, a lot of revenue is made in Lagos but look at facilities around you, do they show that? You better wake up. Though some ethnic bigots hate Tinubu cos his Yoruba and his role in Buhari emergence but the facts are also there if you can only see it |
Ezemust:Take a breather. Only corrupt political foot soldiers support Tinubu. Even Buhari, the almighty clueless one can't support him. I prefer PYO too. If Tinubu knows what's good for him he'll do same |
Hmmm! Who's going to save this country from turning to the Wild Wild West? Or we should take matters into our own hands |
Ok. I like these features |
Makinde is a gentle man but deadly serpent. He made a renowned thug, Auxiliary, one of his aids. I guess he had a badass teacher in Fayose. Even the drug barons in Lagos do not publicly identify with MC Oluomo. |
Ok |
aspabay:The reason is because we have only two political parties vying for the presidency and PDP is the underdog |
Help us ask him O! |
Kzinne:She didn't say it is. She said it reminded her of that time. If you watch documentaries you see lots of recreational scenes just to paint a vivid picture |
Leun:Recreation obviously |
Amotolongbo:It's a remake. That wasn't actually when she was selling bread |
I just don't know the word to describe this Buhari. He is bereft of ideas and he won't accept advice from anyone other than those from the North. This is what happen when you have a Northerner as Minister of Finance. She is not even qualified to work in any department of a Financial institution. The sad thing is that, las las, they will steal money and go. Then the masses will suffer it |
VTJN:They can also sue the damn university. It's the negligence of the university she's asking the student to pay for. Who's duty is it to make sure courses are accredited, student or university? Who has failed to do his/her duty here? Who should be held responsible? Who should pay? |
You people should just use the University. They must return the money spend for the duration of those sessions. They'll also compensate for your time, efforts and psychological trauma. |
Which investigation again NP? Somebody committed a crime in the glare of many people and he has confessed to it. Just arrange him and stop telling us you spend so, so, so on investigation |
