Please don't make racist and tribalistic comments on this section

Some news are dead on arrival. No matter how you spin it, are you expecting the state with the highest income to receive a low deposit?

Calculate that of Katsina and north where Buhari was pampering, and don't forget Lagos feeds you indirectly and generate highest money to federal than other states in Nigeria like yours

Lagos generates the revenue because of federal investments since it was made capital of amalgamated Nigeria in 1914.

Since you don’t know anything about that, is it possible that you know what happened to all the federal funds and the trillions annual budget such that posh Lekki people and other Lagosians don’t have water?

The Permanent Secretary, Office of Drainage Services and Water Resources in Lagos State, Mahmood Adegbite, has said that people drilling borehole in the Lekki axis of the state is probably drinking ‘’shit water.”

While speaking at a stakeholders meeting in the state recently, Adegbite noted that contaminated boreholes in Lekki pose health risk and added that treatment of waste water would eradicate any form of disease that may arise from it.

He said, “On waste water treatment, I will say that everyone digging borehole within the Lekki axis is probably drinking what I will call ‘shit water.’

And they call it democracy. Just a state in the country getting more than a whole region. This is the the kind of "NADECO-Kiriji" democracy that Tinubu and Buhari foisted on Nigerians since 2015. A democracy where the resources of the whole country is used to develop a secroon of the coubtey at the detriment of others. The north would have been up in arms, if there son was not used by Tinubu to start this obnoxious practice.. They're stuck! They can't protest what they started..

Obviously, from now going forward, if you don't have your son as the president of the country, nothing for you! Tgat is the legacy of the iniquitous APC. How will that pan out in the long run What it means is that the competition for the position of the president will now become more ruthless and end up a "do or die" project. If you win, you have everything and if you lose? You get nothing! In a multi ethnic state! Now you tell me; how would Nigeria not die as a result? And this arrangement was foisted on us by the same set of garrulous people that always lay greater claims to being the most patriotic in the country!

Time will tell...

I hope Asiwaju will start restructuring of this goddam country and state resource control in his second term so that these failed States won't bite and complain about Lagos again which is the finger that is feeding them and i hope Lagos has indigenous benefit card to ward off economic Almanjiris from a goddam region. When they troop in, they claim it's former capital but when lagos get any investment from the FG they cry maginization

The question for the “awalokan:

The[color=#000099][/color] N3.9 trillion was approved for the Southwest, but the real question is the distribution. How much of this allocation is going to Oyo, Ogun, Osun, Ondo, Ekiti, and Kwara States? Without a clear breakdown, it is difficult to measure whether Tinubu’s administration is genuinely pursuing a balanced Southwest agenda or simply concentrating resources to just one state.

I’m a lagosian. This is just too much for just one state. I sense favoritism here

Go back to your beuriful Oshogbo, abi Okitipupa, and stop famzing Lagos..
Ibadam is the capital of the western region and not Lagos..
Digest that fact in peace and have peace ✌️

Lagos contributes more to federal government, Lagos is the most populated state in Nigeria,
Lagos has the least landmass in Nigeria meaning the too much population in the state put plenty of pressure on the infrastructure hence government must be proactive by rehabilitating these infrastructures before the cost lives and properties. It's not everything that is politics.

I am not a fan of Tinubu at all .... And rejoiced when the entire Nation celebrated Peter Obi's birthday. but I like the way he has packed all appointments to Yoruba not because I am Yoruba or because I will benefit from any of the appointments but he is doing payback for Buhari placing the national with so many of his kinsmen in top positions. There may be vindictiveness behind it.

I hope when Peter Obi becomes our president there may be a reset. I want Peter Obi to be our president and more Peter Obi's after him. We cannot move forward with Tinubu, Atiku or the Old breed. Let it be very clear Nigeria needs a Factory Reset badly and a Peter Obi is a good idea. Most importantly every Nigerian must change because A Messiah cannot do it all. If I was Tinubu I would make a Cow the Minister of Education and a Goat the Minister of Transportation. Maybe that is the shockwave Nigeria needs all the MFS need to know they ain't shiit

None of your never-do- well States from the potorpotor region ever rejected income from Lagos VAT ievery month where you contribute 5% VAT then get 300% return did they?

Can you please let's know where these projects going on in Lagos or it's political propaganda as usual.

IRE O.

Can you just listen to yourself.

By the way, what does your state bring to the table?

Sannisege:
Good development. When Obi becomes president in 3059, Anambra too will get 90 gazillion projects in 2 months.

Imagine! Not even Una South East as a whole but Anambra! So Obi seem to be a prejudiced person nah, that's what it means .....Some other ibos no go vote for am oh

It is Emilokan regime...Na our turn to do our own


When Buhari was doing his own and turning the country into a Fulani colony, nobody talk ...

At least Tinubu is pouring money into his state Lagos which is part of Nigeria, as opposed to Buhari who pumped trillions into a foreign railway, the Kano-Maradi Rail line

Charity begins at home...Asiwaju is doing perfectly fine...Buhari taught Nigerians a bitter lesson on nepotism they won't forget in a thousand years

Looks like this your Emilokan regime is finally making sense. Just as I’ve always said, it’s the story of Animal Farm all over again, “all animals are equal” until after the victory, when suddenly some become “more equal than others.” Now, the other Southwest states have been reduced to the neglected workhorses and forgotten hens of the farm used for the struggle, but sidelined once the feast began.

YORUBAs! You can now see that Tinubu is not fighting for any southwest agenda, but a selfish policy that would definitely affect the whole of southwest later. This I have seen.

MMA Airport is a lagos project? What king of Mpurumiri this quack journalist is writing? So the FG should ignore MMA then repair Enugu or Sokoto Airports? Can someone show the passenger traffic to those so called Airports and how much the FG has ever generated in the past 20 years from those glorified bus stations called Airports? How many people dey fly from Akure Airport in a whole year?

SarkinYarki:
Then it's not showing anywhere , Lekki Epe road is still riddled with potholes at 2nd gate , Chisco, Jakande , Igbo efon , new road and Chevron intersections ... Where was this 3 billion dollars spent ?

Lekki-Epe is a state road.

Lagos generates most of the cash that it pays into the federal purse through port related activities at the different federal sea ports in Lagos. But here is the kicker; most of the containers that come into Lagos ports, ends up in the south-east! Essentially, almost 70% of all containers cleared in the socalled Lagos Ports are moved to Onitsha, Nnewi and Aba overnight! Do your check and have some solemn moments..

And we have not talked about the percentage of the remaining containers that are cleared by south-east businesses all over the country and Lagos too. These are intimidating numbers that must never be overlooked anymore. You can't claim that the regional origins of the business owners of the companies, that paid those tariffs which generated those humongous revenues should not matter.. It should count, especially if you are going to make a lot of noise because ports built by the federal government generates so much in "your land"...

Under which state or region did you put Lagos to Calabar coastal highway project?
This project cuts across multiple states and regions like South West, South East and South South. If you have only allocated it to South West or Lagos, then your report will mislead the public.

Yes!
Lagos generates more than what Bayelsa gives to Nigeria and get almost nothing in return.

Enough of this nonsense. Tinubu should enact a referendum to split the country into 5 or 6. We will agree to share the oil wealth for the next 15 years to give everyone time to build new capital cities if they chose, airports, seaports, road infrastructure etc. with the Niger delta getting the lion share. Everyone will get their president. We cannot continue in this toxic marriage arranged by the white man ( British) any longer. It's not working and it will never work. Let's divide and see how things go.

From your initial epistle and lamentations. It's quite obvious that you're from the southeast region.
So much jealousy for Lagos. Where the containers go is not our business. Our business is... Our port generate the most revenue.
If you don't like that then use somewhere else. It's that simple.
