Sadly its the actual indigenous Lagosians (and some South Westerners) I pity.

By the time the immigrants from Ondo and Osun finish with them they may begin to understand that they are the trees in the quote below who thought the handle of the axe was one of them.

In the last elections many who were not bothered about voting suddenly jumped up 'slapped their buttocks' and ran to the polling booth because they heard that one 'foreign' tribe was supporting one candidate.

By the time they do you what they did to the aboriginal Indians in America, collect your ancestral land in downtown Lagos and share plots in compensation in Badagry, maybe that time una eye go clear.

Ambode should thread carefully..

Trying to please Jagaban might end up jeopardizing his re-election into office for 2nd term. He is committing too many blunders in this first term of his.

O gba ogbon.

So who are those living in Lagos Slums and ghettos, selling second hand okrika wears and made in Aba shoes all over SW?

Soon Lagos will demolish all their 2×2 rice, garri and beans shops and other illegal structures they erect all over Lagos.

G*LAND USE CHARGE: AMBODE SHOULD GO BACK TO SCHOOL*

I have watched Governor Ambode’s video where he made a failed attempt to defend the obnoxious land use charge.

To start with, Governor Ambode does not know mathematics and does not understand economics. And he claims to be a chartered accountant.

The growth in Land Use Charge from N50,000 to N250,000 is 400% increase. Current Inflation rate is 15%. How can you increase a charge by 27 times the current inflation rate?

An increase of 400% overnight is called financial shock. When financial shock to people’s income is higher than inflation rate, people are effectively impoverished

If the government wants to go from N50,000 to N250,000, it must be *graduated* over the 15 year period for which the rate should have been reviewed as shown below:
Year-0 (2017-last year): N50,000
Y1-2018: N63,333
Y2-2019: N76,666
Y3-2020: N89,999
Y4-2021: N103,333
Y5-2022: N116,667...
...
Y10-2027: N183,333
...
Y15-2032: N250,000...
...
Y16-2033: N250,000
Y17-2018: N250,000
...

If this 400% land use charge is enforced, all landlords and commercial property owners will increase their rents/fees thereby further impoverishing the people.
1. A landlord will increase his rent,
2. The event centre operator will increase his hall rental fee for a conference/symposium/wedding/birthday
3. Owners of shopping complexes will increase the rents of the shops they have let out
4. Commercial property owners will increase rents on lease office spaces
5. Business/shop owners paying a higher rent on leased office spaces will pass on the higher rent to their customers by increasing the prices of their goods and services.

This is how inflation worsens and people are systematically impoverished to fund Tinubu’s money-hungry pocket.

We must bear in mind that Ambode has already increased BRT/LAGBUS fare, Toll tariff, water rates, vehicle licence, introduced Radio tax, vehicle registration, road worthiness etc.
Now Land Use Charge!

This is the same governor whose government created and legislated monopolies —Alpha Beta (revenue collection), Visionscape (waste management).

Where in the world does government create and legislate monopoly in a free-market economy?

Ambode must go back to school to re-learn economics

Are people made for the government or government is made for the people?

Must people be taxed to death because we want to feed Tinubu’s Alpha Beta?

emmanuelpopson:
the only comment I can relate with.. others are pointing accusing fingers to one Yoruba, Igbo or sort.. maybe when the law takes off,we won't all be affected directly or indirectly... I don't understand why simple topic will degenerate into ethnic or tribal bashing... I tire ooo...

Opinionated:
ULC does not understand why the state Government will place the interest of individual organisations above that of the people. It remains an aberration that in trying to make such a law, one organisation is named to have a monopoly of collecting the taxes. This is the height of political patronage. It makes a mockery of governance and democracy and truly undermines the integrity of this government. The insertion of AlphaBeta in the Act though the LSHA has come to say that it was a mistake tells us clearly what the goal of the law is – recycling public wealth into the hands of few private citizens.

OBAGADAFFI:
The Landlords will simply transfer the LUC on their tenants.

Most Lagos landlords aren't from Lagos, that why Oniru and Onikoyi families are fighting to get their land back.

Let's face reality this is a big mess.

Elegushi Imperial smart city’s $300 million project broaches new housing deal in Lagos | By Chinedum Uwaegbulam |14 November 2016 |

A comprehensive new plan unveiled last week to reverse the growing decline in the nation’s housing stock in the Lagos area, is promising an ambitious new deal for a fresh town project within the Lekki -Epe corridor. The scope of the scheme is massive and breathtaking, as it anticipates to utilise 200 hectares of sand filled land for a site and services scheme. Other major details are still sketchy, but the promoters disclosed that construction works would start in the second quarter of next year with land reclamation.

Dubbed as the first eco-friendly smart business city in Africa, the project known as Imperial International Business City (IIBC) is promoted through a joint-venture between the Elegushi Royal Family and a private developer, Channeldrill Resources Limited.

The proposed scheme could be accessed through three locations: Freedom road through Lekki Phase 1 (Lekki Third Roundabout); Kunsenla Road by fourth Roundabout of Lekki-Epe Highway, and Oba Saheed Ademola Elegushi Road by spare supermarket before Jakande. Another access road is being planned through Femi Okunu by Jakande roundabout.

Specifically, IIBC will be bankrolled through British Foreign Direct Investment of about $300 Million and off plan sales. The city will be zoned into residential, mixed used and commercial areas. Each zone will have low, medium and high density area as well as lagoon/water view area.
