Buddha3: Lagos was developed by Nigeria's Commonwealth. Lagos is the commercial capital of Nigeria and reaps benefit from all Nigerians. Anybody living in Lagos state is a stakeholder and has the right to demand for good governance. Lagos has a special status like Abuja 3 Likes |

/ Everyday you see engineers and other workers go to work at the Ministry of Works. At the end of the month they get paid. It makes one wonder exactly what they do. Just like the four dilapidated refineries that gulp billions in salaries every year. Are people getting paid to be unproductive? / 4 Likes 1 Share |

Adesina18111: Because like most of Nigeria the politicians at all levels are not answerable to the people. They owe their allegiance elsewhere so performance is not the ultimate objective and not the determinant of political survival or otherwise. I really don't see how Nigeria can become like other nations we admire without social conflict. We must come to a point where we realise that nothing can be achieved without a class fight. There is just no way to uproot the feudal nature of black african leadership systems to get to the point where the political class respects and fears the people they lead. Our leaders are too comfortable and so often progress in error. 2 Likes |

Allardyce: My comment was not meant to address you. The fella it was intended for, responded with civility and the requisite respect that ought to exist between sane humans. If you see the need to quote me and air an opinion, do yourself good and refrain from insulting me. I am not one to suffer fools or strike bargains with one. If you insult me again, I'll hound you endlessly, from thread to thread, to the point you'll feel reluctant and uncomfortable to use nairaland in the near future. Be properly guided! |

Vboot1:You are not the first person to say this. Everyone who has traveled to those small countries always come back with tales of how they have left us behind even with their meagre resources; good roads, steady electricity, etc. But when we make effort to demand same in Nigeria, some dimwits that cannot grow above ethnic and primordial sentiments will be labeling us haters and all what not. They wish everyone bows to their warped definition of truth and normalization of suffering, but we shall continue to state and demand that the right things are done. 2 Likes |

It's embarrassing that supposedly educated minds can't discuss reasonably on a matter that affects us all irrespective of tribe or status. What's this new addiction to turning every post to tribal war? Anyway, the fact is that LGs are underperforming across board and we should proffer good ideas towards their improvement for our benefit. The CDAs should monitor the allocations received, how it is spent and brief their members. Residents/members should ensure that the CDAs work in their favor. They should monitor projects and help to ensure that facilities are well maintained and not vandalised. One thing that baffles me is how and why the State Governments don't allow the LGs to thrive on their own by cornering their funds. Also why the LGs can't fight to get their full allocations and to make good use of it. 1 Like |
