Why odunlade crying

Afam4eva:


It's actually a balance of both. Take Ambode to Ekiti and see if he will make any difference. That's why i think the money that lagos has both through monthly allocation and IGR is soo much that they can embark on projects that other states won't dare.

He'll make a huge difference because I'm 100% sure he won't be lining people up on the side of the road distributing 2 cups of rice and N200 or spending his days and nights running from market to market cutting kponmo and hanging out with market woman or obsessed wiht issues outside his state like the FG and the president instead of governing and finding credible solutions for the issues affecting his people.


Yes, money advantage is good, but money without good and credible leadership with vision means nothing because some states in Nigeria pased more budgets than Lagos state and even own more than Lagos state, but they have nothing to show for it because of bad leadership.

Motherfucker2:

And in the next 5 years it will be owned by the igbos

They love buying and owning Lagos

So you're going to buy the bridge. Iyen naa nice.

Osus are not happy because their are uganda developers.

Ambode my clan man doing wonders.

He may make a difference but i assure you it won't be huge because it's very difficult to have ideas and not have money to execute them. Those bridges that he builds in Lagos cost a lot of money and one bridge can finish Ekiti's allocation for one year (exageration), so it will be had for him to build anything of note.

I'll prefer my state too have money and average leadership than have above average leadership and lack funds.

Lagos state was not generating up to a billion before Tinubu came on board.
He reinvigorated the tax system which led to the increase to almost 20 billion today.

Are you kidding me, Epe is selling out, I got 1 Acre there already. Still thinking what to do with it. Not just Igbos, any futuristic investors know when to rush in. And hold down the assets.

If I were you I would prefer an above average leadership with a moderate fund.

Because no amount of resources can out play the human resources. Give a billion to a dullered and see it squandered. In economics, the most valuable resources is the human.

I mostly pity delta, rivers, and most oil producing States, they've not been blessed with good leaders even with all the resources at their disposal.

Not having money is not the end of anything or should be an excuse for not making credible changes or even coming up with creative ways for money generation empowerment and pleasant atmosphere for businesses and jobs to flourish.


Lagos was poor at one point, generating less than N500 million per month under Tinubu, but the leaders found creative means for revenue generation and the tool he used "Alpha Beta" was lampooned as a vehicle for corruption is being used by nearly all the states in Nigeria even the federal level is copying Lagos state's revenue generating model.


If you are going to make excuse for the clueless and incompetent governor in Ekiti, at least list the sound and credible governing principles and economic policies he's enacted to better Ekiti state in any way.


When was the last time Fayose staged economic forum for investors access economic opportunities in his or what the state possesses in form of resources and productive manpower? When was the last time he introduced creative tax collection system to up the state's revenue.?

As mush as many condemn Osun state, Osun is still the runner-up after Lagos when it comes to infrastructure and commissioned projects in Nigeria, but Osun doesn't have half of the revenue they have in Lagos state, but they have a very determined and focussed leader.

Ekiti is poor economically, but they are poorer and worse off because of bad leadership, it's now a state synonymous with poor and hungry poeople linning on the side if the road everyday for cups of rice and N200 stipends.

Lagos state's total debt is N432 billion

Delta's state's total debt is N700 billion

Akwa Ibom passed more budget figures than Lagos state, but nothing significant came out of the huge budgets.


Money without sane and credible leadership means nothing.

Lagos is lucky not only because of IGR, but because they've always been blessed with good leadership from their 1st governor, Mobolaji Johnson to Jakande, Marwa, Tinubu, Fashola and now Ambode.

The mentality in Lagos is different and not the same in other state. Eko o ni baje and Eko for show means you must perform more than the leaders before you.

Eboes developing Lagos since 1756

seguno2:


Do you know the IGR of Lagos from the huge population?
That is why they can do a little shine shine projects and steal a lot while most of the taxpayers remain mumus who gullibly praise them instead of asking serious questions.

I wish Governors in East will do a little shine shine project and steal rest of the money as you say, we for no complain here. Beside Obiano the rest of them are useless. Abia own just dey too painful for me to swallow. God dey!

If it is possible to borrow Governor me i wan borrow this Ambode, pair him and Obiano and turn East to Dubai. I no like Yoruba Governors but true be told this Ambode dey work.

This would have made sense if states were not almost dependent on the federal government. if that was the case, most people who are there to steal will run away because they will not be getting monthly stipends from the federation account as is the case currently.

The case of lagos is a totally different one and you can agree with me. Lagos was built as a pan Nigerian city and so, it represents Nigeria economically. With it's almost 20 million population, multi national companies, small and medium size enterprises, there's no way any state can even think of comparing itself to lagos as far as IGR is concerned. The fact that lagos was earning just 500 million i because the machinery was not in place to generate incoome as it is now.

As for Fayose, i'm not making a case for him. He's your typical Nigerian governor who is average at best. But we seem to be judging him sing the Lagos and Akwa Ibom yardstick which is not fair. With the mothly allocation that states like Ekiti get monthly, the best they can do is to use it for overhead and other minor to average projects. You're definitely not going to be seeing the kind of projects you see in Lagos and Akwa Ibom there. It's just not going to happen. Maybe if Ekiti had a huge source of income.

Now, saying that osun is a runner up to lagos shows that you're either from osun or an APC fan or both. Osun has more money than Ekiti but doesn't have much to show for it just like 90% of the states in the country. If Aregbesola is a determined and focused leader accoring to you the it means the meanings of these words have changed.

And instead of all these other state indigen to hold their local and state governorments accountable they keep throwing stones to far Abuja, when their state houses are close to them.

Most times when I go out I see how Lagos is transforming and I am always filled with joy. From infractures, to job creation, to beautification (this one makes me really happy), health care, security abeg Lagos is good to go. In fact I won't be wrong to say Lagos is on auto pilot right now because every machineries are been put in place.


However, Lagos might not be able to accommodate the population drift if all other states do not developed their States at the same or close rate as logos.

Ikpeazu will not learn

Kudos to Governor Ambode

If he continue this way and retain this path as this political philosophy I think he is going to be Nigeria President in the nearest future

Eko onibaje

Bobo is working

meezynetwork:
Lagos is trying but its been helped by the amount its generating internally. No state in Nigeria with the current structure can generate what Lagos is generating in a month. Ogun state can try cos of its closeness but it can't. Lagos is like hong Kong which can pass a country inside China. Hong Kong generates all the money that it uses for development by itself and send the surplus to mainland China.

Rivers Delta and Akwa Ibom can.Delta had so much Ibori could steal hundreds of millions of dollars. That was enough to build a second Niger bridge .imagine how much Delta would make if they had built and tolled such a bridge.
What value is the grandiose stadium Akpabio built to his people. Oil prices don't stay high forever and when high should be properly invested. Ibaka seaport should be completed by now

Na wa o. Do you realise that infrastructural needs is correlated to population? If Ambode was governor in Ekiti he'll make do and embark on projects of immediate impacts and needs to his people . I dunno why complimenting a good leader dey hard some people. Small time now, they will mention that thief Akpabio that has robbed AK back to medieval times

The bridge is it not the one in Ajah.

I really don't understand what you're on about. I think everybody has agreed that Ambode is visionary. What i'm simply saying is that being visionary is not the entire story. Lagos has a lot of money which has enables it carry out monumental projects.

Lagos was not built as a Pan anything city
Lagos is a state and is quite different from Lagos City. They are completely different entities. Epe is a rural Ijebu community that is based on Fishing. There is nothing PanNigeria about Epe.It has been neglected for a long time .Those who are indigenous to Lagos State know the truth. There are still places that are not connected to the grid without power which we hope to see change soon. But this Lagos is city nonsense must stop. Epe is very rural and very Ijebu

The only luck Lagos State is enjoying is that PDP never had a chance to loot their development and share it in Ghana must go, thanks to Tinubu

I will like to differ to the above quoted.

Any sensible governor or government with limited fund and resources would think out a plan to get involved in a more commercially viable venture that has economic of scale and the easiest to go into would be agriculture.

Instead of running from market to Palm wine joint. Fayose should get involved with creating wealth with the little he has instead of spending all on feeding and waiting for monthly stipend from Abuja.

Let ekiti be known for a particular commodity or production and see how the fortune of the state would change for the better.


I am sure if Fayose was a hustling young bachelor whose father gives monthly allowance our advise to him would be for him to try and hustle hard investment and make money for himself so that he would be independent. Isn't it?

Incompetent and corrupt leaders and their ignorant subjects always excuses and diversions. There's always other people and the ever present FG to blame for their incompetence while their subjects hate and center their hate and bitterness against other states like Lagos.

Just imagine, the FG and the PDP they cast their votes for refused to build their 2nd NB, but it took Fashola less than 3 years and only N29 billion to build Lekki Ikoyi bridge, but guess what, they hate Fashola, but praise their own useless leaders with nothing to show.

It's a vicious circle between clueless subjects and their useless and incompetent leaders.

I understand the plight of places like Epe and to some extent Ikorodu and even the badagry area. But you must agree that most parts of Lagos, atleast 80% have become a conurbation of some sort. I also understand the difference between lagos city and Lagos state as far as the former capital is concerned but even places that were not initially part of Lagos island were catalyzed by it.
