It's actually a Federal road

It is not! It was constructed by jakande.

Let me give you some advice for the future. When someone counters you, spend a minute to verify before you respond. Google is free.

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

This is where you make a fundamental mistake in terms of appropriately discerning the political undercurrents that dictates APCs vindictive approach to governance at the federal level. I will explain...

Tinubu is NOT paying back the north on anything. That is the kind of wild tales that are craftly manufactured by the Lagos ibadam express way mercenary press houses to create a fake "Southern solidarity", just to prop up Tinubus wobbling administration. Rather, He is actually protecting the north also. Tinubu and Buhari formed the APC mainly to do what they are doing at the moment; "turn by turn lootocracy "! Nothing else.

The North has looted to their fill under Buharis regime, it is now the turn of the southwest. All their political elites are aware of this and are all working hand in hand behind the scenes to ensure that this framework lasts.. Tinubu will hand over to the north to continue with the lootocracy when he is done..

To paraphrase Fashola; "some people won the war and some people lost the war. The people who lost the war can not be enjoying more than the people who won the war"... That was Fashola after a caucus meeting of the groups that formed APC in Lagos around 2023/14 or so..

Do your research..

Where did we mock Dangote refinery, infact the govt is the only one that doesn't want Dangote refinery to work so they can keep importing fuel

The Obidient with their journalist hudenyin always claiming Dangote refinery will not work.
Now they're trying to switch side.

I may not like PBAT'S style of leadership but don't take it from him when it comes to identifying his root. The man is an enigma of yorubanization!

Shentaa of hecelenci kee u dia..
In the morning you are the hosts that must be worshipped.
In the afternoon, you are bul-ldozing peoples houses out of frustration.
In the night, you are bu-rni-ng down markets.....
Then the next day, you want to ne seen as the shentaa of hecelenci...

That's what happens when you think that being cunny is the same thing as being smart

More houses will be bulldozed and more market reconstructed or moved.
It won't make any state worthy enough to lace Lagos State shoes in Nigeria.
It's just a fact.. or which state do you think is worthy enough?

tollyboy5:
Yes!
Lagos generates more than what Bayelsa gives to Nigeria and get almost nothing in return.

In 2023, Lagos contributed N815.86 billion (33.6% of total states’ IGR). So tell me where did over 3trillion naira approved for Lagos state come from? From Iragbiji I guess.

google is wrong , those of us that know know it's a Federal Road

tollyboy5:
It's better you keep shut than delving into things you know nothing about.
But the revenue federal government gets from us is not too much bah?

Is it only Lagos generating more revenue among all the states. I guess you’re new to the system in politics

anonimi:
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?

As at 1914 there was nothing like Nigeria. And our ancestors were doing their normal business while the British continue to use Lagos as their port.
So it's not our business that Lagos was more fortunate than the others.
The others don't exist to us as at 1914.

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

Seun, thanks. Hope your anti Yoruba and anti Tinubu moderators will not delete this post and suspend me as USUAL? I saw this information on Daily Trust. I also saw it on their Facebook page which means it is on their Twitter (X) and Instagram pages. Definitely, it would have been on various Hausa Radio channels.

Another interesting Social Media news media is Oriental Times, an IBO news media.

In South West, we don't have any News media dedicated to South West, rather in Punch, they dedicated their editorial against Tinubu.

When Ministry of Finance Incorporated (MOFI) gave Lagos a loan for Light Rail Project from CMS to Lekki Free Trade Zone it was Mallam Nasir El Rufai that raised alarm thinking Federal Government is financing the project as Federal Government project. I will stop here.

Yesterday, passing through the bridge from Doyin (Orile) to Ijora heading towards Costain and coming from Apapa from Police Station to Surulere and coming from Ijora to Costain you will observe the dilapidation of those bridges and roads as a result of trucks moving heavy cargoes to the ports.

How much is NPA and Customs generating from the ports? How much is NNPC and DPR and NPA generating from NNPC jetties in Lagos?

If Lagos were to be New York or Dubai or Addis or Cairo or Jo'borg would there have been any editorial on money spent on infrastructure in Lagos by Daily Trust? During the Military era, apart from the completion of 3rd Mainland bridge by IBB, there was no any developmental project in Lagos while projects were going on elsewhere. During Abacha, Lagos was abandoned to become a jungle.

We need to analyze the projects under Military, the projects under Buhari and the contributions to the national cake before taking decision on the allocation to projects under Tinubu.

Nigeria has spent billions of dollars prospecting for oil in the North and still spending millions of dollars till date while private investors use their money and loans to prospect for oil in Dahomey Basin .

During the Military, while Federal Government was spending billion of dollars to prospect for oil in the North and steel in Ajaokuta, Baba Yinka Folawiyo staked out his life struggle on AJE Oilfield in Dahomey Basin offshore Lagos to prospect for oil.

Daily Trust needs to do editorial on contributions of Lagos to Nigeria before coming out with this propaganda.

I strongly recommend taking WAEC for a second time. And this time choose government and economics.
So you won't end up like this again.
Every state got project based on what they bring to the table

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 ✌️

The so called Lagos federal territory is Lagos island. Ikoyi, Victoria island, yaba, and Lagos island. What you call Lagos today (Epe, Lekki, oniru, surulere, badagry, Ikeja, isolo, ikorodu, badagry, agege and so on we’re never under federal Control. They were never called Lagos or part of Lagos. The were part of the Western region and developed by the western region.

What was Lagos federal territory is only 8% of the land mass of Lagos state.

All the industrial estates from ilupeju to isolo to Ikeja to Ogba to Apapa were all developed by Awolowo not by the Federal govt! Lekki express way was constructed by Jakande not federal! I can go on.

MMA, 3rd mainland bridge, ikorodu road, the bridges connecting the island, the Apapa and tin can island ports, railway etc are federal, Festac, Ikoyi, Ikeja GRA. Besides that most of the development in Lagos was done by Awolowo or successive state govts.

People have taken Lagos the small island that was the federal capital and ascribed Federal money to the state that. Was later created with the same name. They are not the same.

I know one day Nigeria will have a president that will probe all these thieves and recover almost all stolen funds and seize their stolen assets, it's very close not far. I know only thieves support these government and soon their pots will turn to baskets and Nigeria will be saved and great again.

You lie. No state in Nigeria gives more to FG than Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers and Akwa Ibom.

You just need too be educate first before talking about politics and everything around it. That’s what you think but politics is not something you take emotionally. Cuz favoritism is the first in every politics

Jesus wept! Lagos Epe was constructed by Jakande! Some of us were alive at the time when it was being built!

What do you mean by favouritism? Carter bridge should not be fixed?
Rehabilitation of the most busiest airport in Nigeria is favouritism?
Or what are you saying?
Maybe you should type in Yoruba if you don't comprehend English text.

Outright balderdash,lagos did what you can tell it to the blind,niger delta oil money is what had sustained the economy of the false nationhood for over 50years and still counting,mopping up resources all over the country to develop lagos is what you’re descending to telling gullible about lagos,money deposited with banks are all over the country culminating in burgeoning lagos economy for Alphabeta tax conglomeration,pushing a large chunk of national resources to develop lagos is on whose interest.

You need education seriously.
Below is what Lagos generates in 2024 which not even related to the topic in question.
Igr is revenue for state and not federal government.


Lagos State generated an Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) of ₦1.3 trillion in 2024, marking a significant 45% increase from the ₦895 billion recorded in 2023.

What was the exchange rate when Buhari was the president?

I just hope this is not another teenager I'm wasting my time on.

Findings by Daily Trust revealed that during the period under review, FEC approved projects worth N5.97trn for the South West, N2.41trn for the South South, N407.49bn for the South East, N1.15trn for the North Central (including Abuja), N2.7trn for the North West and N403.98bn for the North East.

“This is my problem with the niger delta region and the political errand men and women”,if a self claimed politician from the south south region(political applauder)could openly vomit on a national television “live”,if you support Mr president I will support you and vice versa without such personality hiring economic advisers to educate him on economic gambling Mr President has clandestinely engaged on with his tribal conmen and women,the implications are so glaring,productive failures,niger delta is blessed with resources but dwarf mental individualism and individuality caused extensive and significant economic losses to the region.

You don't know what is fact. I'm learned while you.. you just have access to the internet .
That's our differences

owobokiri:
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 two sections of the country at the detriment of others. The north would have been up in arms against this, 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! That is the legacy of the iniquitous APC. How will that pan out in the long run for Nigeria 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. That is a recipe for disaster! 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...

https://www.thecable.ng/nassembly-inserts-n400bn-light-rail-projects-for-four-states-in-2025-budget/

but in democracy,one state can generate revenue that will be used to feed your whole region…if anti spam bot ban me for this comment,that means you and anti spam bot no get sense together.

Oga, stop harassing me with your mumbo-jumbo.
I am not part of the indomie generation. Been around for a while.
When I talk of Lagos I mean the Lagos that was HANDED OVER TO TINUBU BY THE MILITARY. No part of that Lagos was solely built by the people of the south west. Una don build ibadam finish?
Lagos as she is today was developed by federal Nigeria and ALL NIGERIANS. That's why it is OUR COLLECTIVE PROPERTY!
Deal with this without committing murders and tearing down markets/buildings...
Ahbegi..

OlujobaSamuel:
Lekki epe Expwy isn't FG project na
It's LASG project

most of this guys are illiterates. Before Tinubu presidency, are we not be hearing about lekki epe express way and the ongoing construction. Craneburg own by the wife of late Herbert wigwe is the major contractor. They are using the concrete technology on the road.

How much as Anambra contributed to Nigeria in comparison to Lagos ?

franchasng:
Yet tomorrow they will sit in their cocoa farms to tell us how Tinubu built Lagos and how Peter Obi could not turn Anambra to Dubai, but they forgot that Lagos is whatever it is today and tomorrow by the political favours and policies of Nigeria's federal government starting from the colonial era.


Lagos is located in Yoruba region, so Lagos is a Yoruba state. But nobody built Lagos. Lagos was built by Nigeria's collective wealth.


Lagos is Nigerian people's collective project and sweat.

The day the Atlantic reclaims Lagos, everyone will finally realize that it is foolishness to put all your eggs in one basket.
