Is it only Lagosian that are complaining.
It's not the prerogative of Sanwo Olu to feed Nigerians all because they landed in Lagos via night buses.

It is prerogative of Sanwo Olu to do key projects to better Lagos State and stop beating around the bush with unnecessary projects. Lagos need electricity and you know that. It is the economic capital of Nigeria, that is why people come whether one like or not. How many food banks have Sanwo Olu opened? You sound like Sanwo Olu give billions of naira to feed people from other states.

Do you support state of origin. Food bank? Do you think it is the responsibility of Sanwo Olu to feed 200+ million Nigerians because they are hungry?

All they need to do is arrive via Ojodu Berger, gbam food bank hampers get handed to them.

can Sanwo Olu feed 20000 before feeding a million?

atoliman:

Yes..... He has fed 20,000 but he can't feed all of Nigeria coming into Lagos.

Tell other states governors to become responsible to curb migration into Lagos from other states.

We can go on and an....but I don't have that time today.

atoliman:
You that are talking , what part of Lagos are you from? I never said Lagos is no man land, all I said is Lagos is being run badly.

See my initial question to you below

I pinpointed the problem because from knowing the problem you can prefer solutions 😏

What is Nigeria's number 1 problem . . . ?

Anybody. . . ?

. . . ? ? ?

Can you try again to give an answer?

answer: lagos state government can provide electricity, the masses will take care of the rest

Okay, so . . . Your only problem with lagos and its government is lack of electricity right?

FourQu:

it is a major issues because if you look at all the major cities or states in the world with a population of 10 millions . Constant electricity is a common factors, Lagos is lacking and as the economic lifeline of the nation, Lagos can do better because Lagos state host many businesses compare to most states in the nation. Instead of government to help business grow by at least providing electricity for at least 16 hours , they fail and focus on not so important projects. what the State need are growth in jobs, increase income and so forth. But the day you open your mouth about how Lagos is being run? they start questioning if you are originally from Lagos or talking about deporting one to their home state. Nigeria is a federation, people can come to Lagos and do business in Lagos, as long they respect the laws and traditions of Lagos State.

Do you support removal of state of origin?

No because you cannot remove citizens of Nigeria or Nigerians from another State where they are not foreigners. If it was people from Togo or Benin republic are coming to Lagos in buses, then you can remove them. I have never heard people in London removing fellow Brit from London because London is overcrowded

Oga, I know you’re not from the SE and so opened this thread to probably fulfill some Cro-magnon myopic fantasy of starting a round of tribal bashing here, so here is my advice.

A. Goan build your own State and manage it how you like.
B. Go warm Eba chop.

this is commendable- but there are more serious matter on ground

atoliman:
do you want Nigeria to grow? yes they have home state but Lagos is the economic capital, so Lagos affect all other states

Your state is your economic capital, not Lagos, Lagos is shouldering the burden of failure of other states including yours.

Lagos cannot keep up with the human population with thousands entering Lagos everyday.

The tress on the infrastructure and government services is unsustainable.

Instead of crying over Lagos everyday, shift the crying over to the other 34 states, they collect allocations and IGR just like Lagos state and their population sometimes are around 4-5 million with lower scope of responsibilities except the Northern states.


When was the last time you asked your own state and others what they do with their allocations and IGR.?

You are not doing yourself eny favors by obsessing over Lagos state while you let the other states fly under the radar.

yes Lagos deserve the most criticism because it host the major airport, many international businesses and one of busiest port in West Africa compare to all 34 states combined in Nigeria apart from Abuja. It was the former capital so yes it deserves the criticism because Lagos generate for the money all those businesses and still fail to provide light for 14 hours a day, Lagos deserve the criticism. I understand they have to use money to pay staffs, maintain facilities and other programs. All Lagos state need to do is to provide electricity for 14 hours
or try to because of the water and geographic location and leave the rest to the masses- that all I am saying. If Ondo state had the major airport and host many businesses than any other states, then Ondo deserve the criticism

What state is your father n mother from ?

atoliman:
With the amount of revenues that they tax on businesses , hotels , working.

Another definition of the rubbish this clown wrote below is I am hate filled jealous Igbo.

atoliman:
home is at Nigeria , you cannot take constructive criticism. You probably assuming I am anti APC, or hate Sanwo-Olu. I really do not care about politics, i care about the betterment of the Lagosian. Maybe you enjoy the state of Lagos, where grown men harassing you or begging you to give them your money or food are so high . All I am saying Lagos state can do better by providing electricity , give the masses a chance to grow business. Anyone that put Lagos state forward is a friend if it is APC, labor party or PDP. I really do not care

StreetFight:
Show us what your biological father has run successfully. No insults, no abuse. He may just be the Messiah that we have been waiting for. Just show us his life achievements, we may just kick out those who are running Lagos so that your biological father can help us run it well

No insults intended, why don't you show us the achievements of your biological father first since you brought fathers into the discussion?

Where is your Igbo father constructive criticism of Abia Anambra Enugu Imo Ebonyi etc ?

atoliman:
yet Lagosian are complaining about the cost of food - Lagos is the economic capital of the Nigeria- what do you expect? people are always going to come Lagos whether you like or not- Instead of deporting people to other states , put that energy to make Lagos better- Common constructive criticism

But Abia Anambra Enugu Ebonyi Imo etc can not do beta only Lagos can do beta ba ?!

atoliman:
I am not igbo by the way or from the East, all I want is for Lagos to do better that is all. Constructive criticism does not mean I hate Sanwo- Olu or APC. Lagos can do better and you know that, that all I am saying .

C. Go and get a life if you have nothing reasonable to contribute to a discussion.

What part of Lagos state are you from and what is your surname ?!

atoliman:
I am actually from Lagos by the way, you cannot take constructive criticisms. It is bad, Lagos can do better. You cannot tell Nigerians to go back to their land when Lagos is part of Nigeria. As long they respect the laws, and traditions of Lagos in general, they can stay.

You that as all the reasonable things to say asking you to go n build your state is now a bitter pill you can not swallow. Na way for all this ipob miscreant on Nairaland.

The question of which state are you from is a valid question. You cannot love Lagos more than the. Indigenes. If you are not from Lagos then leave it's development to the indigenes. Focus on your state. You are part of the problem. If everyone focuses on their state then there will be competition and the whole country will develop together instead of the fixation on Lagos. Let charity begin at home for everyone if us. You critique your Abia gov while I critique my Lagos gov.

Get something useful to do with your life instead of being a mindless troll on the internet. Are your parent and family members aware of what you do with your life online? More than 80% of Lagos is a big giant slum and I can back my statement up with facts if you have enough brain juice to understand what a fact is. Get a life kiddo!

You are wrong over 90% of Lagos is slum but the best part of Igboland will not measure up to those Lagos slum even if you were given a trillion years to develop.

I have never lived in Lagos in the past 15 years and frankly do not care about Lagos but make no mistake, all states in Nigeria are slums including Lagos. Now you can slam your head on the wall if that brings you happiness.

atoliman:
With the amount of revenues that they tax on businesses , hotels , transportation, entertainment and so many sources. Lagos State by now should have at least 16 hours of electricity, a reliable train system and even preventing companies from leaving Nigeria. The reason why unemployment is very high is because foreign investors and many international businesses are looking at Ghana and other African countries as a better alternate to do business than staying in Lagos State or Nigeria in general. Local businesses are not doing better either, tha
When visionless people or people with no business skills or never had or know how to run a business are elected, you are seeing the effect today- All Lagos state need to do is to provide electricity , maintain the roads and leave the rest with Lagosian.
So many businesses can grow and jobs can be created even if Electricity is 14 hours a day,- no one is even asking for 24 hours - just do 14 or 16 hours a day , and leave the rest to the masses.
Providing electricity is the job of the government, not the masses. They can do better, stop giving speeches and start working.

The amount of energy you guys expend fixating on Lagos state would have been better utilized in your own state of origin and it's governance.


Abi, you too wan claim Lagos ?
