Awesome. Looks like the learned colleagues have done the right thing again

These are the set of people that will feel the backlash of these laws the most (the rich)

So would you expect them to agree to a law that lets them pay more and stress more?

On the other hand, the poor don't care cos they are busy arranging their rent for Mr Land lord (Last day of the month again)
[b] mr landlord is the rich
his land charge goes up
rent follows
poor become homeless
land affects everyone
So they cant even afford a their monthly rent not to talk of 1/8 plot of land.[/b]

Ambode should be a little bit sensitive to the present economy hardship and not dishing out laws whenever he feels like. Good intention Bad decision,

As in.. too painful... Government in Nigeria always wants to collect, collect....

In fact, when you mentioned vegetables, my mouth just started to water. Add fresh fish and pepper soup to the mix, and you have just made my day! Can you imagine that Ondo, Ogun and Lagos have extensive shorelines with access to the sea and different rivers, yet they have failed to develop an efficient water transportation system with a fleet of boats, ferries and hovercrafts? I hear that from Ogun waterside to Lekki area in Lagos, is just about 2 hours, by boat. Can you imagine if there was a good ferry service on this route?

My brother this country is a big surprise, it won't cost the govt a dime to execute these projects under a PPP or Concessionary arrangement, but greed won't let us,I and an elder Bros brought in some investors into the country since 2015,one was Humanitarian Grant and the other was from a Financial Institution affiliated to the World bank,I tell you Nigerians messed the opportunity up,from greedy civil servants to selfish individuals that wanted to circumvent us,to house of rep members asking us to pay 10m naira before they even consider moving,my brother a grant that the state won't pay back oh,our partners were like 'What kind of people are these" a program that's suppose to help develop the state,Nigeria's problem is broad and we need an holistic approach to solve it,so many investors want to come but there are too many bottlenecks in our system,we all really need to rise above tribal and ethnic sentiments so we can salvage the future for our unborn generations.

Wha-aa-at?? So you mean corrupt people messed up such a good opportunity for investment? Chai!! Why are people like this? I thought they said this govt was fighting corruption? Can you see how our public and elected officials mess things up in this country?

macaphan007:
Na so we see am oh till one of the Investors pulled out,after we've invested a lot of money, time and effort,I even left my job in abj cos I felt it was a better opportunity for me,The level of corrupt in this country is mind bugling,The country is run by a cartel.

In fact, I just weak ......what kind of backward mentality do some people have in this country? If your grant had been accepted and utilised for your planned project, do you know how many people would have benefited from it? How many citizens would have been employed and how much taxes would have accrued to govt, to boost their internal revenue, from the work done on that project?

macaphan007:
The funders had a range from a minimum of $300m-$$900m depending on the. State meeting all necessary requirements, Lagos for instance could access close to $600m-$700m cos of the viability of the State,our partners told us how South Africa and some other African and Asia Countries like Indian had benefited from the Grant,aside that most people in Govt don't know the world is observing everything we do,mostly our religious over zealousness.

$300m-$$900m... wetin?? $600m-$700m?? No kidding! I feel like swearing for these useless public officials that have been put into positions of authority! Meanwhile, many states keep complaining that they lack funds to carry out major projects! A neighbour of mine who works with LAMATA the state agency trying to establish the Lagos rail project, has complained about the huge lack of funds that is stalling the completion of that project! Do you know the huge potentials that would be unlocked in the state, once that rail project is finished? Or the massive reduction in travel time across the city, once the train services kick off?

There are public hospitals in Lagos and other states that lack equipment, modern diagnostic devices etc, and cannot run run public health intervention programmes due to lack of funds.... and some jerks are messing up chances to utilise such foreign funds for the overall benefit of the citizens, and even improve public infrastructure to reduce travel time, across board? May God punish them big time! Chai!

Na dis kind thing dey make me vex!

if I start to talk or swear for people I won't stop till next year,I focused on Lagos cos I felt for any investment opportunity Lagos is always the first call for any investor, the first meeting we had was on the 30th is September 2015 with the then Perm sec of the ministry of oversees investment And foreign affairs, the building just directly opposite the Lagos House within the same premises,Mrs Arinola the perm sec wasted our time for more than 5 months before she was forcefully resigned by Gov Ambode in Feb 2016,even without signing a non disclosure agreement with us and our partners a lot of documents were made available even when it wasn't suppose to be so,its a long story.

This country is a mess I tell you.

Wow! This is really sad! Have you thought of trying other states?

n 2001, the average rent of a 3 bedroom flat in Gbagada & ilupeju was N300,000. today (2018) the average rent of this same 3 bedroom flat is now N1,200,000 and above. This tells you that the income of an average land lord in Lagos has gone up by 300% or more, yet the same land lord is not willing to pay more as tax. is this good? Can anybody try this in the UK? how can you be earning more money yet you want to keep paying the same tax amount?
