Asour:I think you have a comprehension problem. I said Lagos State hosted the FCT . You said Lagos State has natural success factors and my question was why that success did not manifest before 1999 so do not lie or misrepresent my words. The simple explanation is that Lagos has had better more focussed governance since 1999 than previously |

lexy2014:Do your own research Lagos City was the Former Federal Capital>even before states were created . The rest of the State was part of the Western Region until 1967 Lagos City is not the only city that shares a name with its state There are many others Ondo Oyo Enugu Sokoto Kaduna Bauchi Kano Katsina. 3 Likes |

aribisala0: There's no way to confirm your assertion. To do so, one has to control for the economic advantages Lagos has which most states lack. And that's a tricky one. Again what Nigerian states were better than Lagos before 1999 (safe for maybe Kano)? |

Asour:Well we know that IGR in 1999 was 500 million a month So clearly the IGR opportunities were not optimized. Optimizing IGR has been a game changer. You make it sound as if Economic advantages are something to be ashamed of? What is your point> Every state has advantages but they have not been optimized From that same 1999 Delta State enjoyed advantages in terms of Derivation ditto Akwa Ibom and Rivers .What do they have to show AKpabio and Ibibio cannot by any stretch be described as visionary The money that the foreign governments recovered from Ibori could easily have delivered a seaport to rival Lagos Same in Akwa Ibom where Akpabio decided a stadium was the best thing he could give his people 2 Likes |

Tareq1105: It is the other way round, they actually made Tinubu. If as a Leader, you assemble m0r0ns, they will serve you nonsense and ruin your govt. But if you want to succeed, you pick the best brains around. People like Fashola, PYO, etc are the best brains around and they made Tinubu's Govt. If not for them, Tinubu would have failed and not be who he is today 1 Like |

aribisala0: Advantages are not be ashamed of BUT they should be mentioned so that we don't get ahead of ourselves. Again you have failed to mention states that were inherently 'better' than Lagos before 1999. Most oil companies (well virtually all reasonably sized firms) in Nigeria have always had their HQ in Lagos. Does that count for nought? By the way, for all their sins, Ibori & Akpabio may not be saints but do you realize that seaports are an exclusive list item in Nigeria? Do you think I can go ahead to site a seaport as I choose without Oga FGN? I suppose not. Nigeria is a low Manufacturing country with huge imports. Surely a state that 'ushers' in a huge % of such imports has to have better opportunities economically than other states. No? I am not trifling what you purport the likes of Tinbus have done in Lagos, I'm just saying let's not get ahead of ourselves. There's a long way to go. 2 Likes |

Asour:Who is getting ahead of themselves and how? Are you wanting to practise the phrase? How does that come into anything I have said thus far? So what if Seaports are on exclusive List What is the relevance of that ? Is there not a port almost complete in Lekki? A private venture? Has PDP not been in control at the centre. The reality is that there has been no political will or vision to deliver that in the 16 years that PDP controlled Abuja. Are refineries also on the exclusive list ? Did Amaechi as governor not have enough money to deliver a refinery playing those peculiar "advantages" > Advantages like gas, crude oil. What industry have any of those governors established to take advantage of their own "ADVANTAGES"? Where is the Fishing industry? Where is the boat building industry? The Niger Delta should even be better off than Lagos considering the huge oil prices they enjoyed under PDP |

aribisala0: No leader has really achieved any praise worthy feat requiring special praise in Nigeria. That why I said get ahead of ourselves. It seems you're going into politics. Unfortunately I won't as I am no politician. Finally, Lagos maybe 'better' than most Nigerian states (I'm in Lagos) but it's hardly a special place. In many respects it's a terrible place. Anyone who thinks Lagos has 'arrived' as a basis to laud his/her leadership skills has limited his/her growth & has probably deceived many. Cheers. 1 Like |

Asour:I suggest you refresh your understanding of the phrase "getting ahead of oneself" Praiseworthiness is in the gift of the praise giver. You are entitled to withhold your praise but remember You have only ONE PRAISE Many others have different schemas from yous. Yorubas will praise Awolowo for eternity and there is nothing you can do to change that. There are many who praise Tinubu whether he deserves it or not I certainly acknowledge his impact relative to what went before him and in the context of societal expectation. I agree that we need to upgrade expectation but everything in life is contextual. and that is how one must appraise Tinubu; with contemporaneous contextual knowledge Tinubu was the first governor after the military and expectation was very low. In comparison to his peers like Ibori, Duke, Alamiesiegha. Odili ,Igbinedion who had similar or even more resources when you consider that Obasanjo withheld allocations. He exceeded the expectations of the voters and is perhaps the only one with a long term perspective politically. Whatever is wrong with Tinubu is the same thing doing us collectively .So we need to raise our game if we want better leaders Today is another context another time and perhaps a different set of qualities are needed but part of the contextuality is the psychology of Nigeria today |

seunmsg: It is not true that Lagos is by far more beautiful than when the British handed her over.... perhaps, you could say development has spread further away from the Island now. If anyone is to talk of a structure that exists in Lagos, which every governor seems to be following, then that structure was created by the British...not Tinubu or anyone. Certainly, Fashola outperformed all the other three, in terms of his administration's overall contribution to enhancing Lagos. Even as Works and Housing Minister, Fashola has overseen the construction of over 900km of roads across all geopolitical zones and states in the country. Imagine the whole idea around the Presidential Infrastructure Tax Initiative.. absolute brilliance!...you'd know it is his brainchild. That idea gave birth to Apapa-Oshodi-Oworonshoki Highway, Bonny-Bodo Bridge and several others. You wouldn't hear that he's being linked to multibillon# properties or imposing relatives on the populace as Commissioner, Senator etc. He is way more disciplined, charismatic and focused. I just don't like Tinubu's style at all....As governor, he created LASTMA and his wife's sister (Lola Akande) served on its board; the same sister in-law of his was a Commissioner under Ambode, and now under Sanwo-olu...his wife is in the Senate...his daughter is Iyaloja...he also installed Oyetola, his cousin, as governor of his state, Osun. That is nonsense! For me, that is destructive greed and utterly disrespectful of the sensibilities of others. 3 Likes |

aribisala0: Sure. It's my opinion. Everyone has theirs that's why we converse. However if we are indeed sincere, Nigeria (all over obviously with different intensity) has progressively worsened in terms of welfare of [the Majority] of it's citizenry. Is this also my opinion or this is a fact? Consequently anyone (not solely but collectively) who has been an active part of the political class over this period(s) would not reasonably be proud of any 'feats' as there aren't many. O well I guess I may be the 'only' one seeing things bad. Cheers. 1 Like |
