Mind telling us how you came up with all these?

Akpa ife: It is only in nig dat u will see where govt close mrkt 4 almost a month

babapupa:



$240 billion annually? And the entire Lagos state GDP is $43 billion? The local capacity and buying power is not even there to support that bogus number. You can not take them seriously, they are liars and they lie about everything.

Yoshi-Master:

Guy I totally understand and agree 100% that the market should be closed down and sanitized, but that's where it should end.

No need to start saying they were black, white, asian, igbo, yoruba, housa, fulani or whatever.
Let the Law take care of malefactors as it is doing with the closing of the market.
I am just against talk like "go back to your village", that is entirely unwarranted.

If you claim they can't obey the Law, then, again, let the law take care of the situation. The law will ensure that they shape up, and it would either be punishment by the law or it will reach a point that they may leave by themselves if they see that they are getting into too much trouble with the law and can't keep up.

Please just close your eyes and imagine a U.S governor saying that other statesmen should leave his state, that would make for really bad tv, and bad politics.
Let the Law prevail.

honeric01:

9ja_I_hail:

ODUA_NEGRO:

peckhamboi: N100 billion daily

N3 trillion monthly (x 30)

N36 trillion annually (x 12)


Nigeria's budget = N4.9 trillion

They claim to be making more than 7 times the whole country's budget in a year.
[size=14pt]Somebody is telling a bold face lie[/size]

honeric01:

My right to know the truth is (1) I am a Nigerian, (2) A Lagosian (3) A seeker of truth.

Now, you claimed your "source" in the market union told you everything you've typed, does that make them true? that tinubu or whoever is the one causing the issues and not Fashola?

Anyways, closure of the market, is it permanently or temporary since you have a "source" in the market?
Are they conditions to re-opening of the market?


These questions should do first.

9ja_I_hail:

The closure of the market for a day shouldn't have be if Lagos state Govt are sincere in their dealings,blames shouldn't be shifted to the marketers alone, because the Govt and it agency failed woefully in the initial agreement with the union. Mind you there are so many anythings Govt representatives expected from the marketers which the marketers considered as unnecessary extortion and vowed not to meet up with such demand.

I am careless how many days it will take to re-open the market because if the Govt and it agency are sincere to the people stick to their agreement this whole issue wouldn't have come to this extend.

As a business man who has business flourishing in Nigeria and outside Nigeria i am in good position to tell you how painful it is to extort me unnecessarily talk less of shutting down the market where i made my daily income.

So asking how many days or weeks it wil take to re-open it is out of line, you and i know that closing down the market is to force the marketers to meet up that unnecessary extortion demand from foolish Godfathers.

coogar:

it wouldn't happen because statesmen in america obey the laws of the other states. a texan will not go to newyork and defecate in a plastic bag. when you are in rome, act like romans. defecating in plastic bags is a village behaviour - thus the saying "go back to your villages". if they cannot shelf the village habits, why should they be in the city?

naptu2:

Good, now here's the meat of the matter, how do they collect the fines and what happens if people refuse to pay them?

Exponental: This people mumu small ooo.
Dem dey disclosure false amount, if they are asked 2 tender their tax payment receipt in d last one yr, can they produce it?......they have ran their mouth, let them wait for the consequences.

ypzilanti:

If they refuse to pay the fine, you shut the stores of the defaulters. It does not have to be a blanket shut down. After the first draconian fine is imposed for filth, the traders will sit up.

Yoshi-Master:


I get what you are saying with the average level of education in advanced countries as compared to here in Nigeria. True a Texan won't choose plastic over porcelain, and really its just because our government failed us for a very long time (old news, I know) that people sometimes act like animals, when the government should have made, and still make, education a priority.

[b]You seem like a strong personality yourself, with an iron fist to act. So now imagine if you are the governor of Lagos State (I do adore BRF btw), then I am sure you would be able to act on those few who claim to be the "law" in the market, and deal with them.

Look guy if you dealt with them under the law, say Jail time for harassing citizens, and stick to your guns, I tell you things would work, those guys would be in jail, the market would shape up, or be closed down PERIOD!

Now also imagine you were governor and said there would be a N50,000 fine for peeing or defecating on the streets, and again you stick to your guns, I tell you people would not urinate on the streets, and if they do, they would pay the fine, and if they can't pay then they might serve Jail time PERIOD!

I am not against the closure, not against Fashola (except his village statements), and I feel Lagos is doing well. I still say that if the Law is allowed to work, and no one placed above it, then these so called villagers would have a couple of options:

1. Obey the Law
2. Get thrown in Jail for not obeying the Law.
3. Leave on their own[/b]

Simple!

coogar:

lagos can survive without the taxes of the filthy market. if the whole place is not shut down, people won't shape up. by the time the dirty traders go hungry for weeks, they would act accordingly. they were warned aeons ago to do something about their environment and nothing was done.

honeric01:

prost80:

This is not how it can be effectively done in Nigeria, The way Fashola is doing it, has got results in a lot of instances so let him do it. By the way by now all the traders will sit up, so we end this barbaric action once and for all

Konmight:

My Brother, Yigbos are the most stupid set of people I have ever seen...they always claim they are wiser than every other people but eventually you discover that they are nothing but fools....BABU SENSE....why do they have to lie that they make 100B, they never thought of consequences...they'll later claim govt is witch hunting when govt impose heavy taxes. If they can't obey the law of the land, they should simply pack their kayas and go back to their erosion ravaged villages.....we all know Lagos and South West is their New York and California.....hahahahaha Igbos yeebos eebos MUST GO..Let's break this damn FORCED MARRIAGE make everybody dey go im house..ONE NIGERIA MY FOOT.....YORUBAS TOO GET MOUTH....GOD TOO BLESS SOUTH WEST....hhahahahahahahahahahha
