SmartMugu:In aso rock you spend your time tip toeing around issues that need affirmative action. You don't want to offend the ND, the SE keep shouting marginalization and the NE and NW have their mountain of issues. I have decided to leave out the SW because it seems to be the only sane corner of this country |

God had been good with lagos.....God always give them good govenor even during the army time |

wadetaw202:If Ambode is good, then the instrument that brought him should equally be good. I dont need to emphasize that |

Lagos should emulate Norway, where all its oil proceeds are warehoused in a sovereign wealth fund and saved for the raining day. http://oilandgasrepublic.com |

kenex4ever:How come delta and Akwa Ibom with 13% derivation + all the ministry of Niger delta monies have not even done half of what Lagos has. Why are Rivers and Bayelsa still backward |
| Re: Lagos State Becomes The 5th Largest Economy In Africa by sweetgala(m): 7:57am On Dec 03, 2016 |
kenex4ever:Because it works harder at earning that money and keeping its society healthy for business |
| Re: Lagos State Becomes The 5th Largest Economy In Africa by sweetgala(m): 8:06am On Dec 03, 2016 |
bakynes:The igbos don't even do that much business in Lagos , that idea is a myth advanced by the fact many of them congregate in same location. Major business players that drive the economy and provide employment would be the ijebu and egba people who have been doing this in Lagos for years. They are not artisans but rather professionals in different fields. Importation and resale of substandard products is not what builds an economy. If it were why is onitsha aba and enugu not as big as Lagos |
| Re: Lagos State Becomes The 5th Largest Economy In Africa by kenex4ever(m): 8:07am On Dec 03, 2016 |
sweetgala:lagos has a very high internally generated revenue, total money dat lagos gets is 4 times the total akwa ibom gets. Not to talk of bayelsa and delta. . Am not saying he is not doing well but it's is easy to do well with d kind of money dat lagos generates. He can steal half of the income and still perform well. |

bakynes:Their taxes are spent by the state to relief the burden of their presence and activities |

sweetgala:I didnt dispute that. |
| Re: Lagos State Becomes The 5th Largest Economy In Africa by sweetgala(m): 8:13am On Dec 03, 2016 |
kenex4ever:Abeg leave this nonsense , do you people ever say the truth Delta has been looted dry by all its previous governors , rivers and bayelsa are same when are it's citizens going to ask more of it's leaders rather than shout federalism at FG |
| Re: Lagos State Becomes The 5th Largest Economy In Africa by kenex4ever(m): 8:35am On Dec 03, 2016 |
sweetgala:I dont talk with lousy people. I only stated facts dat lagos earns well. Even if ambode steals 2times what delta gov steals, he would still perform very well. Am not saying other States are not stealing but lagos is fortunate to have much more than other states. . Let ambode go and rule osun state then u will understand. Even Aregbesola would perform well with lagos. Hope u remember his history in lag b4 he went to osun |
| Re: Lagos State Becomes The 5th Largest Economy In Africa by sweetgala(m): 8:54am On Dec 03, 2016 |
kenex4ever:Aregbe is doing a novel job in osun,however he is punching above his weight he has initiated projects that osun can not support financially. If Aregbe was getting the 13% derivation like delta it would be competing with ogun state for industry . I've made an effort to address the lack of good governance in delta especially and the fact all the citizenry are content with it |

sweetgala:ok bro. Tnx for ur time |

sweetgala:With due respect not all the citizenry are content, very many are disgruntled.. |

Realhommie:Says who?. |
| Re: Lagos State Becomes The 5th Largest Economy In Africa by Realhommie(m): 2:28pm On Dec 03, 2016 |
7lives:How do you generalize such, how can all it's citizenry be content with bad governance?? Do you know that since 2003 elections have been rigged massively against the will of the people? Most especially in 2007 and 2011. |

seunmsg:You are not 100% correct my brother, if hatred and jealousy doesn't kill IPOB youths, Malaysia, China and Hong-Kong will kill them when they push their generational hard drugs. Italian mafias will also kill IPOB women doing pros-titution in Italy. Fake drugs will kill the remaining ones while Lagos reckless drivers will kill the IPOB youths selling Gala and LaCasera in Lagos traffic. |

kenex4ever:Where were you 16 years ago when Lagos was in a big mess? Owing civil servants for months. Where were you when Federal allocation to Lagos ceased? Lagos is a model other states are ashamed to imitate. Osun is another messy state that almost got economically liberated before nemesis of previous poor governance caught up with them. Talk about the South-South states, their leaders are skilled in looting common wealth. So, stop the excuse of Lagos being tge state with the highest IGR as an excuse for your state not doing well because your IGR is not like that of Lagos. The major difference is that Lagos has a dream while most other states don't. But watchout for Anambra and Ogun state. |

seunmsg:all you said doesn't change the fact that Lagos is a NO MAN's LAND housing properties belonging to FG,foreigners, Nigerians and igbos. it has no 100% Yoruba property. brag with osun,ekiti,ondo ,owo,Oshogbo etc to show your true independent wealth and wisdom. |
