Facts and figures.

Successfulben:
God bless you my brother. I am an alumni of the great university of Benin. I was born and brought up in Lagos and used to think that Lagos is actually the best state. Of recent I came to agree to the fact that Lagos is just over-hyped. There major source of revenue is the functioning sea-port. I love Benin city and I plan to relocate sometime in the future.

Look at this stupid child of kerosene drunkards. Your children will still hawk gala in Eko Atlantic.

sanerugwei:
The big question is what was the IGR when he left in 2007.
The rest are not his work, the other three governors(Fashola, Ambode, Sanwa-Olu) after him did contribute their quotas to raise the IGR, so also the FG and even ordinary hardworking citizens of Lagos who came from all over Nigeria and beyond and made Lagos their home since the last 24 years or more.

Aren't they?

Have you done yours to checkmate the fact?

Honourable1901:
all this fact check people are just dull...the only thing verifiable is the 3rd largest economy..but the rest are just mere political talk and paparazzi..how can you say a verdict is wrong when you can't access the document supporting the claim..
I have read over 30 documents stating lagos was earning 600 to 700 million as IGR in 1999,as well as gazettes from lagos state government.

Anyways they are only telling us what we want to hear,as far as the election is concerned peter obi has told more lies

Hotfreeze:
Those slaves whose parents are drinking kerosene and their parents are being owed 30 months salary are happy that the IGR of Lagos is 45 Billion and not 51 Billion.

Obi was at Eko Atlantic on Monday to tell lies as usual. Atiku was there to sound dumb.
Same Eko Atlantic built by Tinubu.

Peter Obi ruled Anambra for 8 years. Can Peter Obi attend a talk show in Anambra on a Monday?

Stop disgracing yourself please. You are far too young to talk about such issues like this which you did not physically experience.

“ Who fix the security challenges in lagos”
Lagos had a serious problem with armed robbers and agberos in the 80s and 90s. Armed robbers were very brazen and daylight robbery became the order of the day with robbers prowling everywhere. Lagos became very lucky when a certain Brig Gen Buba Marwa, the current NDLEA chairman became the governor. He swept aside armed robbers and chased agberos off the bus stops. Infact “operation sweep” shot agberos at sight and they vanished speedily from bus stops. Tinubu restored agberos in 1999 and gave them rights. Today they have become uncontrollable.

Maybe you were not told that herdsmen and cows were menaces all over Lagos. In the area called Mobil/agbo malu, Ajegunle, there were always clashes between herdsmen and tanker drivers. Cows moved about Lagos freely. Marwa gave them a 7 day ultimatum and chased them away to the present facility in Agege.

If there were no investors both foreign and local, how then did the economy of Lagos develop? Tinubu enforced duties on factories and large organizations to drive his IGR deeper. Today, who benefits more from it? Is it Lagosians or him?

A lot of you youths from the SW are foreign to Lagos, just like people of other tribes, Igbos inclusive. The only affiliation you have with Lagos is the Yoruba language. How come you want to get US, Canadian and European citizenship and think other tribes in Yoruba land must not lay claim to citizenship or property ownership? That’s completely hypocritical.

It is baffling when you say Tinubu “built” Lagos. Surely he did not build Lagos. Lagos was built by its original founders, developed by people who migrated to the city. Long before Tinubu we he an Alhaji Lateef Jakande as the governor. His performances are all over the place for you to see.

Tinubu simply contributed his quota in his capacity as the governor. The Igbos, just like other tribes who reside in Lagos, own properties, pay their taxes, etc. All the charges paid by them are used by the governors to make the city better.

We have had several well performing governors in Lagos, including an Igbo man, Commodore Ndubuisi Kanu. The major problem that the entire nation faces is the wickedness, greed and selfishness of all the leaders.

Vote the leaders who can move the nation forward, not on the basis of tribalism or sentimentality, but on the basis of honesty and integrity. BAT is certainly not that man.

You are still doing the same thing shettima did.

Saying things that are not verifiable.

How many investors did Tinubu bring to Lagos and how many were there before him?

How many local governments did Tinubu create and how many were there before him?

What are the names of the independent power stations Tinubu built for Lagos that made Lagos independent of the national power grid?

In what ways did Tinubu enable businesses in Lagos prior to other previous administrations? What were those policies?

What was the revenue before Tinubu, what was Tinubu's revenue growth and what was the revenue after him?

If we can mark a significant jump in the differences, then we can talk about growth but if every other government is experiencing growth then he did nothing special.

Everything you typed there are unverifiable.

For number 1, where is your credible source to say otherwise?

2. Where is your credible source to counter his claim?

3. While there is a discrepancy between #600 and #700, are you saying the IGR/month in Lagos stood exactly at #600million before 1999?
Well, I guess he should have said "about/around" #700m.

Also, why are you quoting the 2021 stat, when the man said "now" which is 2022 for the #51bn per month?

It baffles me how old people dish out concoct lies and people swallow them hook line and sinker.

You can't separate an average Nigerian politician with lies... They eat, drink and breath lies!

Premiumwriter:
Lolz. But you didn't ask shettima for any evidence.

Secondly, the IGR wasn't anywhere close that's why it's false not because he didn't get the figure right.

None of his claims are verifiable just as none of Tinubu's claim that he built Lagos is verifiable.

Both are lying because of people's short memories.

If Tinubu thought he developed Lagos then we should also agree that Igbos develop Lagos as they claimed.

See how you're defending something above your pay grade.

Now you know how it feels with all the bogos fact checks against Obi.

What goes around comes around

ALOL, FIY I wrote ssce in 2003 and as at 2005 I was driving my papa benz round lagos, nice to meet you ancestor now to the topic

I am glad you admitted lagos was faced with so much insecurity way back, as a child then every night was horrific in my area cos of house to house robbery... Truly Gen Marwa curbed lagos insecurity with operation burst buh it's also a known fact Tinubu sustained and upgraded lagos security, despite reinstating agbero lagos security never dwindled below the standard Gen Marwa left.

In the 90's how many foreign investment where in lagos? you wey be ancestor tell us, you forget the emergence of broadband & mobile service opened Nigeria to the world for opportunities & investment..which Tinubu keyed into, bro it's not a coincidence today lagos is the tech hub of the country
Between 1999 & 2007 igbos population in lagos is not even up to 30% of the populace, and if you genuinely agree all tribes in lagos paid there taxes & contributed there quota why exclusively attribute Lagos development to igbos. If igbos are so sure they make lagos let dem go to calabar nd replicate it, the energy an igbo depense to claim lagos you will think it's heaven.

Like I said before, no country regardless of her resources can attain economic development without good governance and policies that will create enabling ground.. Whether you agree or not Tinubu brought that, Tinubu also brought fashola, ambode & sanwo olu, and if all these men could give credence to their principal why should your opinion count

My brother, Benin City only lacks infrastructure, but then many major cities in Europe don't even have skyscrapers. No be tall buildings dey determine a liveable city.

The noise, confusion, pollution of Lagos cannot be found in Benin City. You can plan your life here, plus the Bini people are very hospitable people. How many times you don hear Hausa dey fight with Bini people. Or Yoruba and Igbos dey fight for Benin, such thing doesn't exist.

There's a functional domestic airport, Universities, good hospitals etc. It is just a matter of minutes on air or about hours through road transport and you're in Lagos, you run your stuff and you're back.

I was waiting from r the biased nairaland fact checker ...I gave him 72 hours but nothing ...it's obvious to all he is a tinubu supporter not fact checker

Shettima lied shamelessly and yet was praised by tinubu supporters

Don't blame them shettima is the smartest person in their League
