That one is not my problem if you are Igbo, I am just telling you facts, Lagos is the only place the south west can brag about and that is because it was former FCT, besides south east was ravaged by war and yet still competing with south western states.

That is why I am saying what I am saying....

BreconHills:
By the way etranzact is owned by an Igbo man Valentine. I met him many years ago when he was designing the Nigeria Stock Exchange website. A fine gentleman. Etranzact has not moved as fast as some companies that came long after it such as Flutterwave and Paystack ; this is almost certainly down to its shareholding structure and the fear of dilution. However kudos to them and kudos to LASG for showing that it works with the best irrespective of where they come from. Igbo people should be assured that in Lagos as in New York or London, the only enemy you can ever have is yourself.

Well done LASG

Well done etranzact

Thank you very much. I was going to say this before I saw your comment

. Lagos state was never FCT

There is nothing like that

Faiththatworks:
Hmmmmmmmmmm..........
This story is very nebulous and cloudy.
Without sounding too cynical,the incurable optimist I'm,this report is missing a lot of details.
What concerns a fintech with capturing data on a set back,or does set back have another meaning ni.
I saw something about using drones to capture data,another statement on generating more IGR on set backs, seriously this is very very confusing.
If the report was limited to the fintech beautifing the setback in Lagos state,it would have been a wonderful report,but generating IGR,now that's a red flag.
A set back is basically the space between where the road is located and where you should site your property,it's usually 5m as required by the Law,now my confusion,is the government trying to encourage people to start building commercial properties on the setback or want to start taxing all those little kiosks especially the many make shift mobile operators who dot all the open spaces in Lagos.
I really hope this is not another backyard tax the Lagos State government is trying to introduce with this agreement it just signed.
Like I said I'm an incurable optimist not a critic.
God bless Nigeria.......

it is actually a tax,they are looking for a way to increase their IGR, that is the only information they release, how it is utilised is very opaque, they generate so much and deliver so little, in other climes where the government generates so much ,the tax is plowed back to the welfare of the people but here the politicians loot it to become big men and then oppress the people and people will hail them and bow before them,and do their bidding, that is what happens here

Oga it is like trying to compare Adenuga's son and with a poor man's son starting the same business at the same time with their father's wealth and expect the poor man's son to just overtake the Adenuga's son, be calming down abeg, other states especially Lagos already had head start after the war....

Can you list the state provided infrastructures in Ogun, Oyo, Ekiti, Ondo and Osun that made you think that those states are better run than their counterparts in SE.

What make UK and US developed? taxes is part of their developmentYou can't have a develop Lagos without paying taxes.What make UK and US developed? taxes is part of their developmentYou can't have a develop Lagos without paying taxes....

So how far Adenuga son and wizkid, psquare, burnaboy etc has it not happened?

I'm not saying they cannot meet up, but you need to give them time, even wizkid is not still as rich as Davido, though he could get richer but he needs more time...

Believeintruth:
Oga there is no effect of good leadership there. This is pure CSR from etranzact wetin concern Fintech with maintenance and beautification if not be say na CSR. The question you should ask is if 90% of recurring projects are done by the private sector in lagos, why is Lagos owing so much in debts considering the huge IGR generated monthly?

I love the way u all love to divert a particular discussion to tally with a narrative.
So the LASG is not doing anything to show u that they spend money?

ferhyntorlah:
I remember etranzact then in 2004-2005.

They were in the same league with Interswitch back then.

It's good to know they are still in business because I haven't heard anything about them in years.

Yes that period sounds right.

Originally they were very active with the NSE and doing some middle-ware work on the old trading engine. E payment was a pivot and it made them as competitor to interswitch who dominated the industry.

Great to see they are still thriving

You are the one trying to gaslight me and shift the discussion. i said the bulk of recurring projects in Lagos are done by private sector who provide counterpart funding, which begs the question why the huge debts Lagos is accumulating?

U know why Nigèrià is this bàckwàrd?
Because most part of Nîgerià waits for góvèrñment to develop.
How many societies are successful without a huge involvement from private sector?
This should answer ur question.

Eyah! Why are you so pained and in pain because of my comment? Is it fasting or what?

Believeintruth:
Oga stop the eye service. It is simple beautification of setback, side walks and other areas. In lekki Access Bank did it. Which begs the question why is Lagos owing this much if 90% of recurring projects are done by the private sector as part of CSR?

You are trying to be half clever. The issue is not whether or not private sector should be involved, but the issue is why is Lagos saddled with the huge debts if their project cost outlays are offset by the private sector to the tune of almost 90%. That one you used unnecessary grammer to dodge.

U don't understand how a sector is run do you?
Do u have files to back ur idea that it was offset by 90%?
Are u by any chance saying the government is not making expenditure?

COMPAQ:
As an urban planner, are setbacks meant to be for trading activities? Cos what i get from this initiative from LASG is that its mainly to organize and TAX economic activity on setbacks!!

Not sure that trading activities is the essence of the space we leave between roads and building!!

Having said that, I googled the definition and rationale for setbacks, and this came up!

A setback is used to create a buffer area which protects buildings or structures from the road by mitigating noise levels, by providing a safety zone and by improving aesthetics through landscaping or screening. Setbacks are a function of the area type, land use and the functional classification of the road.

You are correct fellow Nairalander.
I support the move because it talks about curbing unregulated development, setbacks, beautification amongst others.

Except if they are trying to pull a wool over our faces.

DisGuy:
Pray tell how, a fintech company would manage open space in lagos or just help collect money from users of the open space?

That for now is what I can't tell because the MOU doesn't talk about collection of money, Sir.

baralatie:
Is etranzact licensed by central bank of Nigeria an urban planning firm

Smile: I am not sure of that, Sir.

We should be aiming to actually CLEAN-UP Lagos…
Instead, this sounds like just a money-collection venture - perhaps an Alpha Beta 2.0!

We should be aiming to match clean cities like Kigali (even nearby Accra)…
Instead, every sidewalk, median, pedestrian bridge, open space, in Lagos is a mini-market - with AGBEROS collecting ‘taxes’.

EKO O NI BAJE…
We should lead and let others follow!

NAIRALAND’S PURPORTED NEW ANTI-BIGOTRY POLICY…

mainman7:
Great!
Ndi Anambra would not like this.

Wow! Did you see the other thread of how PDP Swept Delta without anything for Elupee? Indigenous People have woken up everywhere and would never again allow the evil greedy Souls to use sugar-coated Deception Backdoor to Politically Enslave them on their Fatherland. Watch how they accuse those indigenous Tribes that resisted their evil Plan, and call them Tribalists, Rascals, Corrupt, etc. They have mastered how to Whitewash themselves as Angelic Saints and call those that become Wiser than them evil.

Yorubas at home and abroad should wake up and Write Daily too. Let the senseless ipob people home and abroad that have been using wicked Narrative to get USA Government Attention know that You are more better at Incriminating Obi and getting the International Community to ban him from ever stepping into any of their Countries. I trust Yorubas, unless they are never Ready to pay you back in your own Coin. Once they are tired of your nosense and wickedness, you are done for!

Yoruba and Northern Youths at Home should also start more severe daily Counter Protests as Fulanis did when these same Senseless Igbos rose up against Buhari's Swearing in 2015. After watching and discovering that the demonic envious Igbos are hellbent on getting USA, etc to work againt Buhari's Swearing, the Fualnis, Hausas plus some Yorubas Youths that supported Buhari started Violent Counter Protests too. The Merciless Blows and Heavy Slaps landed on Charlie Boy and others protesting in Abuja then, just like the recently Igbo Celebrities too, made him to scamper blindly as he rushed for Bike to flee from Wuse Market. The Superior Wickedness unleashed on them sent shivers down their spineless spines like the Operation Python Dance, they shocked back to reality. That was the last day they ever protested or their celebrity write Petition against Buhari. The Igbos that were for so long crying more than the bereaved Jonathan SS got their sense Reset to Factory Setting instantly.

Southern Southerners, Fualnis, Yorubas, Hausas, the Shetima Kanuri Youths and every other Supporters of Tinubu's Victory as President must Rise up immediately to give the rabid myopic incorrigibly Sad Souls called Igbos same Treatment because that is the only Language they ever understand as they are always Permanently blinded with their Demonic Greed and Cancerous Envy until the People they are trying to Prevent from Greatness rise up against them with Superior Ferocity. Q.E.D.

Bros can you show me the expenditure Lagos made that would lead to debts of almost a trillion naira?
