Nigeria copying the right things but not delivering their part.

Whenever I drive into any parking in major cities in America, I’ll pay a parking ticket. You can also find places without a fee which will likely be a stonethrow from where a ticket is requested but we pay anyway because those fees are highly administrative and channel into development and other services which will eventually return to the masses.
Lagos will copy the same approach, can increase the money anytime they want, then forcefully collect it and siphon it. Even when it’s obvious that the money keeps getting stolen of part of it is going into a personal purse, no one goes to jail, everyone just moves on…

Until corruption is limited, people will continue to pay for services,will never enjoy them and will continuously question why they have to do so and they have that right.
There are no regulations in Lagos, they can just wake up one day and place a certain bill on the masses and then loot after collection. It’s crazyyyyyy

Joevics:
Yea. Just like having agberos in every junction collecting dues is constitutional.
But it's called overtaxing.

Is this what you guys want to replicate on the federal level? Then Nigeria is in trouble.

What has Lagos state government done to help businesses and residents to warrant this high level of taxation?

Even the issue of traffic, you've not been able to solve for years, instead you toll the hell out of everything.

Just like we warned you guys with Buhari, we are also warning you about Tinubu. Vote wisely.

Lagos State Government is now waking up. Apart from parking levy, lagos state must introduce congestion charges, pollution tax, high property tax for landlords who are renting houses to non indegenes and create toll gates at the entrance of the state. Lagos state is over stretched, everyone wants to live in lagos. That state is not the only commercial city in Nigeria so I don't know why people are leaving their region to move to lagos to inconvenient the indegenes . Current fines and penalties should be doubled aswell . Lagos must do everything to discourage people from moving into the state. This is why we need to go back to regional government.

Collecting levy and tax is constitional but power supply, education, security is not constitional. One sided government.

u must be sick if u think yoruba owned lagos. Isheri and ekiti people help by Prince Ado 1300 AD are land grabber. My ancestors from Benin and aworis are owner of eko not yorubas. Go and read ur history book about eko child of land grabber.

Any levy can be made constitutional once backed by law. I only fear that Nigerians may be levied for the air they breathe at the rate things are moving.

After stealing all revenues from our natural resources over the years, and allocating jumbo allowances to thenselves upon leaving offices. Now that the economy is crumbling, the next target could be to tax every human and animal heavily to sustain the extravagant lifestyles of the few politicians that made the earlier mess.

Shut up!!! There’s no country in the world where they don’t collect taxes and levies. You want good services yet you don’t want to pay for it. Go back to Anambra state where your Obi has given you a Dubai to do your business if you don’t want to pay in Lagos.

Joevics:
Lol, firstly, Lagos was developed by Nigeria and Nigerians. Also, you are very foolish. Tell me your family house in Lagos. You are obviously from some village somewhere in Osun, but you carry Lagos for head because that's all you have.

drlateef:
Just like every state was developed by everybody from NIGERIA. There’s no state that is 100% homogenous . But any foreigner to Lagos must obey the law and respect the indigenes. If you can’t do that, pack your bags and leave.

OmoNla99:
Thanks for the clarification that this happens in MAJOR CITIES. I think you forgot to add that these parking levy and ticketing only happens in commercial and administrative areas and not in residential areas. Also to add that these tickets are mostly paid during the day and working hours.
What the Lagos state government is justifying is for all car owners to pay a levy for parking on the street in residential areas. I don’t think that is done in America.

saintrow1:
Lool another fake benin and woris. Suddenly everyone online is benin and woris.
imagine this lunatic, what language are they speaking in lagos? Please you can joyfully go to hell with your story. You are deluded and doomed. All the monarch in lagos are yorubas, the traditional believes are yorubas. Till the world will be over lagos will continue to be a yoruba state. You haters can only talk thrash, you can't carry the land of lagos on your head to nowhere, that is a plain fact for you. Werey
