, It is just plain ignorance for anybody to state such nonsense. Some that claim to be detribalised are really and truely not they'd rather be stupendiously iconoclastic. I laugh a lot when i come here but the thing is, the answer to the question in this thread is in Lagos and its Governance. Fashola is truely the best serving Governor no matter what some bad belle people say or think, Simple.

bolanleodu:

I watched closely and noticed that no one challenged Nchara's wrong and nonsensical assumption that Lagos state recieves Value Added Tax VAT. It fall along side items like custom and excise duties, post, telegraph and telephones, stamp duties etc which are under the exclusive legislative list of the part1, 2nd schedule 1999 constitution. Its a federal tax and it determined and colleted by the FGN not states. Even stamp duties tax shared among states is first collected by the FG. It is just plain ignorance.

The best is the amiable Gov Peter obi of Anambra state, reasons;
he is the best manager of Anambra state money since creation,
he is humble,
he has principle,
he does everything to retain his integrity,
His emergence in Nigeria polity introduced removal of a governor as he was the 1st when he unseated Ngige and regained his mandate after three years,
He is the only man that has slapped PDP good three time, 1st they pdp stole the mandate Anambra pple gave in 2003 and he fought as a man until he regained it in 2006. 2nd the gang of pdp s in the Anambra state house of assembly illegally impeached him and he slapped them on the face and went back to his seat as Gov, 3rd he gave the party the worst slap of their life when he kick Andy Uba out of office after less than 2 weeks he served as gov, 4th as far as he is concerned they fail again when they thought that its every body that goes to court wins, so Andy Uba lost the case even as Obi settles, wins 2010, serves till  2014 ,
infact, the history of this nation cant be written without his name at the fore front as one of the heroes of our time, Thank God for giving Mr Peter obi to Anambra state Amen.

Being humble and principled do not govern a state. Also, what integrity are you talking about? The one that went through the window when the 25oM scandal ensued. has he returned your N250M before talking about his integrity?

VAT money is shared among the states and Lagos gets the biggest chunk. Nobody argued that because it is the fact. You are so, so ignorant. Go and cure your ignorance and then come back to tell me who is lying between both of us. Do you think you are dealing with kids here?

paddy_lo:

how do u know lagos gets the biggest chunk?. . .for your info lagos gets only about 6bln or so from the feds each month. . .at least for yr 2009

bolanleodu:

Without apologies i'll say you foolishness knows no bound, and the audacity of your ignorance is scary, am the learned man cun tax administrator thats very sorry for you. You earlier mentioned that Lagos state collects VAT, you are wrong admit it and as for the sharing, you know nothing about Nigeria's absurd type of Fiscal Federalism. As 4rm now hence 4th i refuse 2 giv cognisance to your unlimited expression of follies.@ paddy lo, that guy says a lot of rubbish, i wonder if attends NEC meeting or he shar it

PapaBrowne:

There is no doubt that Fashola is doing a marvelous job. There is very noticeable change in many parts of Lagos.
However, Lagos is fortunate to be the headquarters of the Nigerian press so Fashola's works would naturally enjoy immense visibility.

Other state Governors that are probably performing might not have the advantage of the media, hence it would be hard to judge them in comparison to Fashola.
One thing I must admit though, the present crop of Governors are performing way better than their predecessors.

Governors I think are performing: Fashola of Lagos, Amaechi of Rivers, Uduaghan of Delta, Chime of Enugu.

have you heard of internal revenue? . Do you know how much the state generates how much from all the shops and businesses in every corner of the state. You may be wondering why Fashola closed the computer village sometime ago. Its because of the lapse in his internal revenue.  Same way Imo collects money as a Niger Delta state but anambra is richer because of internal revenue from Onitsha.

Olodo rabata. You are one of the ignoramuses that have kept Nigeria moribund. Now pack you load and get outta nairaland before you infect others with your
ignorance.

Bufoon: Did you or did you not read in that article that VAT money is shared among the states? That was the first argument; the second being how it is actually shared. I am getting info on the way it is shared to prove that Lagos gets the highest among the states. Just hang on ok?

Just look at real professional and visionary administrators.

I watch this video and can't help but wonder if other states in the country go ever catch up. Makes other state leaders look like kindergarten administrators,

Lagos receives more revenue than all these states you are comparing them with. What Rivers can easily afford for example, Jigawa will have to save for 5 years before they can afford it. Measure the state's economic indexes before making comparisons.

paddy_lo:

for the umpteenth time i have always known that vat is shared among states. . .i was never arguing the fact

as for your second point,i await your proof

kcibe:

some pple talk or revenue being higher in some states why some gets less:this does not matter to some extend cos we have seen so many that receive so much and could not do anything with it for the public.i saw tax  payers money in action when i visited lagos.please no debate;;;;;;;;;;;;;;FASHOLA  and nobody

Baba_O:

@ emeka, i am really disappointed at your comments, i have been watching your comments for quite a while, you are a tribalist and i dont think the likes of you will ever grow.
Can you tell us, what kind of revenue Lagos is receiving that is more than other states in the south  eastern region? or if it is by population wise. The federal government of Nigeria declared Kano state to be ahead of Lagos state. i think by your assumption, kano state should be dictating the pace if they have what it takes to govern.
If you dont appreciate good things, you can never be good or may be you dont know the difference because of your poor background.
