PapaBrowne: Lagos is a capital of Nigeria and more money accrues to Lagos than to any other part of Nigeria. Lagos has more than enough potential but Fashola did not do anything to unlock that potential. Go to Nairobi and see what is happening there. Even Addis Ababa is experiencing some good development in comparison to Lagos.
The truth of the matter is that Fashola doesn't understand financial engineering. If he did, he would find more innovative ways to access capital than the meagre income that comes from taxation. Taxation is for social services. If you want real development, use your potential of both today and tommorow to buy debt and spread it into the future. Utilize that debt to create critical mass, your society blossoms, you get credibility plus increased credit ratings , acquire more debt, pay the old one and execute more projects, you society blossoms futher and on and on and on. Thats the secret and its working accross the capitalist world. Just be wiser enough to know the boiling point when to stop acquiring debt.

Eko Ile: Back to the topic while I ignore these nuisance villagers.

Even with a very unless federal system and leadership holding lagos back, lagos is still the fastest developing and holding its own and I'm just so proud to be a lagosian.

Even the positive feedbacks from the international media and the new respect for lagos and its leadership is so heart warming.

Eko o ni baje for sure.

Eko Ile: These NL illeterates sha. Mention lagos and see them rush out to put down their own country for another country.

Do we now have to tell these ignorant people that Angola is a country with 100 billion oil money to burn while lagos is just a state within Nigeria with just 2 billion.


Shouldn't you olodo people be comparing with abuja which is a country capital like luanda instead of lagos?

If lagos is making so much moves with 2 billion imagine What we fit do with 100 billion.

I just wonder why you people don't weep and cry over your backward stone age villages.

scopusng: The Governor of Lagos State runs a country not a State. Lagos is a country.Baba Tunde Fashola in you I trully trust and not GEJ.

ebere1712: Lagos is country
ojota is a universe
ikoyi is also known as milky way
ikeja is a house
oyo is a galaxy
USA is a satellite
Nigeria is a space craft
and VI is an anthill.
Get off your cheap dope.

nagoma: Obey the law ! The governor is right, don't come and pollute Abuja with irresponsible anti establishment behavior.

sweetcheecks: Ooo you sound very affected dear. Did they do this too you as well? Sorry!
