Chief,

Wikes open altercation with Alade and Umeahi over last few months didn't help matters...

Oga those governors made up their minds to defect and started fraternizing with APC immediately after the election in 2015 or did any of them tell you that wike chased them out of the PDP.

owobokiri:
Blame Wike and his funny attempt to play the role of an emperor for this.. if true

Oga excuse wike. Umahi and ayade started plotting their detection right from their first tenure

Good luck to him.
Soon he will start telling us that he defected so as to help buhari bring development as if he must be in same party with the president to bring development

Jimasun:
Lagos has over 100k workers. Many of these states don't even have 40k workers and have almost same same budget like Lagos (Akwa Ibom, Delta, Rivers and Bayelsa)

You talk of IGR while ignoring 13 percent and the allocation. Imao

How many workers does kaduna alone that's sacking workers have

Mooh247:
Boko Haram want a Sharia Republic in northeast, Ipob wants a Jewish state in Southeast

Government should fight both

But their is Sharia law in most northern states and who told you that Ipob wants a Jewish state

danilmo:
Leave Aregbe matter. Lol. They can never be perfect but one thing u can't take away from his breezed /adopted boys/sons is hardworking.. From Lagos to Ajimobi to Ogun to Ondo(akeredolu) to Even Fayemi the traitor to retired Comd.Oshiobaba to Mr V.P PYO..

Donald duke was an icon but who did he handover to, that is where continuity of good works comes up.. U can see how Tinubu jealously enthrone Mere small boy Fashola who has no grassroots relevance.. That's because of legacy works and thank Lagosians for accepting Tinubu options.. Lagos can revolt against BAT decision no.matter the rigging but their body language is still with his decisions..The painment of Ambode is already been getting cushioned by Sanwo Olu good job..

Thank God they learnt their lesson by retaining BUA but u can't compare that to Dangote.. The act of partnership and creating environment is Lagos backbone.

U mean Ameachi project like light rail is white project ? The light rail?? You Kidding me right??
If u say Lagos is rich, no one is denying the fact but still her leaders are not lukewarm and resting, they are making policies to make it more richer...

Ask How Tinubu was able to create platform that skyrocketed Lagos IGR from 6B to 20B before leaving office(forgot the exact figure)..Today they are talking of 80Billion monthly on d same Tinubus platform More like a regulated working scheme..
That's western world base finance policy and its working.. Talk about sustainable health insurance and co, they all seems to be well organized and working.. U think it is because Lagos is rich?? Nop, because of leaders.


We await the completion of Dangote refinery, Imota Africa largest Rice meal, Lekki free Trade Zone companies, Eko Atlantic City, Lekki Deep Seaport, Blue and Red light rail already paid for and the upcoming 4th Mainland bridge..

Trust me Lagos will soon start giving out loan to neighboring state because of leadership policies on partnership, creating working environment and nicer political method.
Lagos accepted to be ruled by Godfatherism and it's working for them unlike Niger delta who can't and that is one reason why there will always be opposition fight every time making the best politicking player win whether clueless or not,(not even abt brilliancy now but the ginger) so far he can politik and play on peoples emotion of who sabi do ginger pass.(wike, Edo no b Lagos mantra.).. Same way Lagos accepting godfather policy will make them produce fellows like fashola,Sanwo who are only coming to concentrate on getting the job done..no poitiking. So that is democratic policy in production of leaders..


When I say leaders matter, let wike rule Lagos while Tinubu, Sanwo,Fashola rule Rivers/Delta/Bayelsa .. U assume nothing will change?? Lol.. A lot..

Later jare, I don talk too much..
Enjoy brother..
Cheers..

Oga were you not taught in basic economics that companies are sighted close to sources of raw materials. Where is Lagos planting the rice or where will get the rice for the rice mill. Don't tell me that you harvest in the north and bring to Lagos because many rice mills in the north are operating below 50% capacity.

The issue with pH light rail is that it's not viable just like Lagos to ibadan rail line for users. Going from point A-B of the rail end. It's far cheaper to go to ibadan with bus than with rail.

As for rising igr, most States in Nigeria has seen their igr grow exponentially since 1999.

Please stop ajimobi and akeredolu tinubus boys ,independtly they weathered their own storm even akeredolu contested against tinubus boys forget that they started romancing towards the end of his tenure. At best they are political associates

That's good but I just hope it's viable enough to help us repay loans.
Lagos ibadan has been completed now but people still don't patronize it cos of the cost.

Rossiminku:
It is called the Eastern corridor because it starts from PH and passes through Aba, Enugu, Onitsha, Middle Belt all the way up to Maiduguri.

The western corridor starts from Lagos through Abeokuta, Ibadan, Benin, all the way up to Kano.

Then there is the East-West Coastal Line coming up that connects Lagos to PH, Calabar, Onitsha, Enugu, Owerri, Umuahia etc.

It's a fully comprehensive high-speed network that is being set up.

The Nigerian railway system will be the pride of Africa when it's fully completed.

Eastern corridor does not pass through onitsha please correct your self

danilmo:
IBO boy, so assuming Sanwo olu is the governor of Rivers he would have also built flyovers upandan??

he wouod have also abadoned Amaechi projects, He would have always being hunting amaechi,

He would also given Burna boy 10Million

Sanwo would also have donated 500Million to Sokoto


Oboy, it cost u nothing to appreciate Lagos Governors and Tinubu for always bringing brilliant mind to power cox left for people like u who are too emotional , Sanwo olu won't have won because they lack knowledge of how to attack opposition, unleash Curfew , witch hunt IPOB everywhere and forming emperor.


Likewise Okowa, Dickson, &Edo no be Lagos Governor..

When Tinubu restrategise Free trade Zone with ideas as at then you ll never know but today The FTZ is promising Lagos $1.5B... Is it because Lagos was rich that BAT brought Such idea??


Just wait till LASG and Tolaram group complete Lekki deepest Seaport in West Africa, that is wen u ll know how more riches Lagos would be.. That is the principle of partnership going on..

Enabling environment is another thing, ask yourself why Lagos gave Dangote free land assess for his refinery, something Niger delta used to chase him till he ran to see reasonable leaders in Lagos..

We may no like Tinubu backing with Buhari but brilliancy is what u cant take away from him and his godsons..

Pls don't come and worry me with Bullion van, brown teeth, Chicago drug Barron mantra cox that's the only thing you Igbo people talk and rant about all day.. But we ll keep calm with Tinubu and follow his landmarks..

Lol tinubu presenting brilliant minds. What happened to aregbe that nearly crippled his State with depths.
You are talking of lekki Free zone have you forgotten that there's obudu ranch and good initiatives from Donald Duke too.
As for dangote refinery have you forgotten that bua is building his own refinery in the same Niger Delta.
Am not really a fan of wike but he Said that the projects of amaechi are White � projects with no economic value or you advice he continues wasting resources on it Just for the sake of continuity.

Bro Lagos is stupendously rich by now its should have it's own international airport and very functional railway among other things.

Esseite:
It could be better if they could create wealth in the midst of scarcity like Lagos, they have all it takes..

Create which wealth in the mist of which scarcity.
Mind you Lagos was the former capital of Nigeria and a Port City. You have to show me a city with a Port in any country that's not doing well.
Lagos has always been ahead even since the time of the first republic and that's why it's called centre for excellence.

So that their debtors won't know and their old properties which can lead to see finish

I hope it's true.

But again I ask why are we fighting bokoharam that wants Sharia and not fighting northern governors that have imposed sharia law in their States

Esseite:
Why has Rivers, Bayelsa and Akwaibom not increased pension wages despite earning good IGR?

Is there igr as good as that of Lagos

Esseite:
Meanwhile his collegue is sacking 45,000 workers... the difference between Governors than can create wealth in the midst of scarcity and dundees occupying space.

Oga which wealth did he create, Lagos has always been the richest state in Nigeria which is why lateef jakande and even buba marwa performed among their colleagues about 30 years ago.

He did well though

NkanAkpanika:
You started well but endup taking nonsense..Next time focus on Osun and don't insult AKS

I was only telling the government of AKS to prioritize and not to insult it's citizens

FA13:
Do you even know what you are saying? How many appointees do they have....

When you add all the advisers , head of agencies and all whose take home can be reduced drastically to cushion the effect of the economy downturn, then you will know that if any worker is terminated at all it will be minimal.

As for not having anything to do, they should be put to good use and not just sitting in the office and gisting. That is still on the government to ensure

You did not tell us the number of appointees, Head of agencies aside.
Am telling you that civil service in Nigeria is over bloated and some of them have no Job description.
How can there be 5 cars and 30 drivers. A story building will have 17 cleaners.

If you owna company can you run it successfully that way. Most of the civil servants are there and adding no value and government pays them for staying at home e.g during the pandemic most workers were at home govt was running smoothly

The approach is what I don't like but downsizing is needed no matter how emotional we are about the situation.

How can a government use 85-90% of its revenue to pay salaries and you to meet other responsibilities am not saying our governors are innocent though

Balloon for 13k well I don't blame you since you acknowledged that your father is useless maybe your mom was also a baby mama.

Tinubuadvocate:
My indebted state of osun but the same of osun is better than any of your state there.

In what areas of development is your indebted state better

Tinubuadvocate:
Akwa ibow state get more infrastructure than the whole of southeast. Southeast is the most poorly governance region. No wonder they are luring the region to biafra. The fact is that igbo can't stand with their five state where they will get money to finance the birth state?

Take your stupidity to your highly indebted State of osun.
Human capacity building should be any governmens priority and not building flyovers for keke and okada while it's citizens are doing house maid or a been trafficked to do prostitution

PlayMaker14:
Please shut up... She did not overrate Lagos as you claim.

Don't be a silly tribal bigot.

Oga go and sell pure water on streets of Lagos so that you can become successful.

PlayMaker14:
Are you normal at all? How is she overating Lagos?

You are in Lagos,go and sell pure water in traffic so that you will be successful.

obembet:
When this boys were on the streets of Lagos hawking pure water sachets, you did not call Dem out o. Now God has blessed them and you are calling them biafrans. No lemme talk o

Oga kelechi was an owerri Born and brought up. Don't overate your Lagos biko

DubaiLandLord1:
That guy get mind o.

EFCC too don dey pass their boundary. Them just dey burst boys without any arrest warrant.

EFCC don cast, Everytime they will arrest and collect money.
I envisaged a day like this and they were even lucky they were not lynched

AdaugoChisom:
Photoshop

It's not Photoshop,it was analysed today on journalist Hangout on TVC

Hush puppy in government

Emerie22:
You are not Making Sense to me.
Do you know how many Political Appointee's these Governors have that are not necessary?
Do you know the amounts allocated for Estacodes and other allowances for Governors, their aides, DG's ,Head of State Institutions and Parastals?

Do you know how much they embezzle during Contracts and others?

Sacking Workers just to reduce State Expenditure without Reducing the number of his Appointee's and embezzlements is very very wrong.
How can the Governor sack over 13,000 staff?
Anyone who supports will one day become a victim where he/she is working especially Hell rufai's Supporters

Oga tell us and be specific on the number of appointees El rufai has and how much they earn.
When you get to govt run it as a Charity home

FA13:
You are funny. How much do civil servants in state collect?

Was any of his aides sacked? If he had started from people making more than enough, then it would be understandable if he goes down to the civil servants...

Relieving one of the top political appointees will cover atleast 20 workers salary.

How many appointees does his government have. You are just looking for excuses for the unproductive workforce

FA13:
I thought you wanted to make sense. So sacking civil servants is cutting cost of governance? How many political appointees were sacked? How much of his expensive spendings were reduced?

If all these has been done and it is still not enough, then can that be considered.

Oga why I understand the concerns you raised but down sizing the labour force is the sure thing to do.
How many people are in State executive council compared to some people in many sectors in the civil service that don't even go to work but are paid at the end of the month.

Imagine an agency having 10 cars but about 45 drivers and 35 cleaners.
If you are running a private enterprise can you try that

budaatum:
With no intention of insulting, please educate yourself. Every Northerner does not accept all Sharia just as not all Christians obey Christian laws.

Some laws are just used to oppress. An example is the cutting off of the hands of petty thieves but not the hands of those who steal millions, and the stoning of adultrous women but not of adultrous men.

Any body who says he practices Islam but rejects Sharia is a hiprocrite

budaatum:
Go to Northern Nigeria to see the numerous Northerners who do not want Sharia law imposed on them and perhaps you would have sympathy for the oppressed Northerners instead of assuming all Muslims want boko haram type Sharia law.

Why should a Muslim reject Sharia law or accept only the part that favours him.

Every northern Muslim must accept Sharia only christians should be exempted

Released on bail and not discharged or acquitted.
He will still face the law
