The fact that Lagos State has the highest debt doesn't mean that Lagos State is broke!

The now President 'Bola Tinubu NEVER left Lagos State broke. INFACT he is officially credited with increasing the IGR of his State from less than 1 billion to over 1 billion. All these was triggered due to the FACT that former President Olusegun Obasanjo seized Lagos State' monthly allocations. As of today, Lagos State is the ONLY Nigerian State over there in Nigeria that can survive without the in vmonthly Federal allocations.

Babatunde Raji-Fashola who was Tinubu's Chief-of-Staff when he was the Governor took over and continued Tinubu's legacy projects from the early 2000s using the PPP structure such as: Lekki Deep Sea Port, Lekki Free Trade Zone (LFTZ), the attraction of Dangote Petrochemical Refinery to Ibeju-Lekki and much more as the Governor.

Second, it's because of the annual revenue inflows for Lagos State that has made it possible for financial institutions to extend long-term loans to Lagos State. If a company of State or country doesn't have good cash flow, there's NO way financial institutions will grant you any funds.

Oga, I want you to drop politics and such and listen to my points

Lagos budget for this year is less than 2.5 billion dollars.

Is that sufficient for a city of Lagos size? Does it not show that tinubu did nothing to make Lagos better than it is.

Same thing with obi.

Lagos and Anambra are still poor and broke as they were before obi and tinubu took over because both governors and their fellow governor's are too timid to fight corruption, tax more of the gdp and focus on developing a economy that is attractive to investment and industrialization.

That is why I say both are equal.

The problem with Nigeria is our leadership inability to make money

Like Lagos now. 2.5 billion dollars. No wonder most of the city is a slum.

Same thing with all of Nigeria because all of you want leaders who will share money and build modern day pyramids

He's right to an extent.
Once the developed worlds shut their gate, we will be forced to hold our leaders accountable starting from sen sheu sanni

Senator Shehu Sani's post is VERY right! The resources in each country and regions of each country can be leveraged through value addition and modern technologies to survive. However, this doesn't stop those folks in Nigeria from traveling on leisure and business travels as the world is a global Hamlet already.

CodeTemplarr:
Can Nigerians wholly handle petroleum sector without help from outside? If you say No and thus agree the outsiders are helping us, why cant Nigerians also train and travel out to help fill up labour spaces where lacking?

Going there for leisure connotes growing their economy, how many of them come here to grow yours for leisure? Lets stop rationalizing equality or superiority. We can complement each other and so there is no sense in Shehu sani discouraging skilled migration. Their money is good and we have the minds that can serve them in areas they lack skilled hands in exchange for that good money of theirs. What we should discourage is criminal behaviour or rundown employment not skilled migrants who seriously add value. Look at China-USA example. How they worked in USA to gain experience while improving the USA but are back in China today rivalling the USA.

Pls stop unnecessary yelling. You have bad leaders because you have bad people in the country.
Everything else is just excuses.
Your leadership is a microcosm of the people.
Remove everyone in govt today and replace them with people like you who complain about government on daily basis, and I can guarantee you that it will even get worse.
The problem of Nigeria is the people that constitute the population of the country they have the same traits as their leaders. Even Nigerians living abroad living the western lifestyle still ha e the same mindset of greed, selfishness and total lack of empathy for others around them. It's me me me mentality.
If you change top politicians in the US today and replace them with Nigerians, the country will run down fast in couple of years.
Nigeria is made up of mostly people with inborn greed,selfish reasoning, lack of empathy for others, lack basic morals yet they somehow expect their leadership not to have these characteristics while they themselves are totally made up of these flawed traits.
This is like planting oranges but expecting Apples. It's impossible.
