The ₦282.6 Billion IGR Lagos State Transport Sector Ceded Out Illegally by Newway2(m): 8:10am On Jan 10, 2019 |
Saw the post below on the Ikoyi Golf Club whatsapp group. Can these mind boggling figures be true ���� *The ₦282.6 billion IGR Lagos State Transport Sector ceded out illegally.* The Lagos Agberos money spinning kalokalo. You are wondering why Lagos Agberos can be have 9 kids showing off in Atlanta Georgia. The Average illegal tax on Bike in Lagos is ₦600/day sampling 6 locations. The Average illegal tax on Keke Marwa in lagos is #1000/day sampling 6 locations. Average Illegal tax on yellow bus and molue is ₦3000 /day sampling 6 locations in Lagos. There is a minimum of 120,000 bike in Lagos taxed illegally. There is of minimum of 120,000 marwa keke in Lagos taxed illegally. There is a minimum of 145,000 registered Danfo buses and molues when we join the unregistered we will be talking of over 250,000 taxed illegally. This Agberos are very efficient in this illegal tax collection that they rarely miss. *Okada* ₦600*120,000 = ₦ 72,000,000 /day *Keke Marwa* ₦1000* 120,000= ₦120,000,000 /day *Danfo+Molue* ₦3000*250,000= ₦ 750,000,000/day Illegal tax at stake per day in Lagos is. ₦ 942 million /day The Agberos in Lagos stand to cash out (₦72m + ₦120m + ₦ 750,000) * 300 days annually = ₦ 282.6 billion annually. Excluding public holidays and Sundays, some collect tax on Sundays. Pls note the number of Bikes, Keke and buses in Lagos surpasses the numbers I used in my analysis. This is 91 % of the IGR of Lagos in 2017 and some guys just screw the danfo drivers. That is why the drivers and conductors are mad in Lagos. This is over 27% of the 2018 Lagos State budget. This cash is more than the capital spending on education in Lagos since 1999. This cash is more than the IGR of all the 35 states individually. If Lagos State takes just 50% of this cash and leave 50% to the Agberos we will fix our roads in 15 years max. *Over to the incoming Governor of Lagos. Hope he will have the political will to sort this out* 4 Likes 2 Shares |

If the state has the capacity to raise funds this way, why cede it to a few people in the name of "union"? Meanwhile they also collect from traders and shop owners especially around major bustops. 4 Likes |

You are right on this finding but what state are you from and when will you carry out a forensic investigation on who your state government ceded the same right to or are other governors immune to the extent that all the evils you highlight about the Lagos you can not infer similar situations in other state ?

Sonnyboom: The state I am from is not on debate here. This phenomenon also cut across all state & Lagos state has always been a pace setter in developmental economy. Hence, if Lagos can pull it off & I pray it does, it will set up a precedents that will reverberate in other states. We can't just leave such a huge income pool in the hands of unions who contribute nothing to the infrastructural development of the nation. They are leeches suckling bloods in transportation industry. 1 Like |

The fact is that agbero is the most popular occupation in Lagos. Also the most lucrative based on the figures. The money is largely unaccounted for but plenty goes to settle "stakeholders" (APC ppl) 1 Like |

This what Ambode sought to solve that got him into trouble with the head of the this transport racket who happens to be a powerful politician . To put this in perspective while Lagos struggling in paltry with a mere 3 billion dollars as it's annual budget making it the poorest mega city in the world, less than 500 Agberos headed by a popular politician are left to freely mine almost I billion dollars investment free from the Lagos transport scene 2 Likes |

What of the yellow taxi,uber,taxify and opay. I kind of feel technology is changing the dynamics. The figures might be a little exaggerated but a bit true, the dark revenue in the hands of the underground revenue industry might even be more than the government revenue. All this money is swimming in the hands of Tinubu and his mc oluomo team. But Abuja just overtook Lagos state in the number of newly registered vehicles in 2019. And i believe with better organizational skills and revenue industry in Abuja with the revenue in the right government , Abuja might be the place |

Gentlemen, The discussions here is not about tribe or ethnic. It is about a national anomaly & malady. Agberos are in every state making a killing in terms of revenue collection without adding any tangible value for the huge revenue they collect daily. Sadly, our leaders have emboldened them because they use them for election purposes. My take is, can we sensitive our different state govts into seeing or harnessing this huge revenue for infrastructure development? Lagos is a test case because of the population of Lagos. But, it does not really mean that Lagos must start first, even though; it will go a long way if Lagos does so. Pls, drop these ethnic biases & let's have a meaningful discussions. I come in peace.

Omoodua007: Igbos are socially dangerous because they are malevolent, homeless and ideologically empty extroverts always and historically covetous of the land, property, wealth and political administration of others. They have no core belief in or attachment to their land of origin, language or culture . Especially dangerous is their sense of entitlement which, added to their itinerant nature, sees them always ready to disrespect and battle their hosts wherever they settle in and attempt a hostile takeover of what does not and cannot belong to them. As you opined, any sensible person must be taken aback as per why it is Igbos alone, and no other Nigerian ethnic group, who seem obsessed with seeing the speck in the eyes of others while unbothered about the boulder in theirs. All in all, the spirit of usurpation and cynical domination/subjugation of others always present in Igbo leaders like Azikiwe, Ojukwu etal is in every Igbo as we see today from their behavior this very minute and second on this forum. Mods just won't allow it but it would be interesting to conduct a vote amongst non-Igbos over whether Igbos should remain in Nigeria or leave. Pretty sure it would shock Igbos that ordinary Nigerians are fed up of them and want them gone. Only the old "one Nigeria" generation still see any benefit in keeping the troublesome, hateful and restive Igbos part of Nigeria. |
