Which lockdown again? Are you in Lagos?

lockdown is still in Lagos, business is only three days a week

Good for KD. We need even development across the nation to create employment for our youth and reduce the rural - urban migration. It should also reduce terrorism and create more opportunities for small and medium scale enterprises in our communities.

So you were in Abuja and still couldn’t spot the difference? Oh those roads were built since 2006? Do Lagos state government really care about Lagos?

Most development you see in Lagos today are done by developers(private investors)

stonemasonn:
I was at Abuja 2006- 2007 when El-Rufai was FCT Minister.

Or are you referring to Kaduna?

A foreign Investor would invest 20 million into your local economy ...take out 500 million over the next 10 years ...and we wonder why we are not growing ?

Are you from Jupiter or you are just not exposed economically, the United States of America does not hesitate to welcome foreign genuine investor so where do you get your own theory from?

It will be nice to decongest Lagos so other part of Nigeria can develop.

The little man from KD is doing a good job so far.

Lol go to America make money and try to pull it out then see ....most of those companies like sony and many more are mostly owned by American shareholders

There are key areas of economy America would never allow outsiders own

With all the company in otta , how developed is it ? ...during the pandemic how many pallative did they share in otta ? .. rather they went back home ...it's simple economics

It is not about any governor, but donor nations and people financing. Most of the projects will be eradication of poverty and health care.

Sharap! It's all about the governor. Which kind "deluded" eradication of poverty scheme. Very unintelligent and ignorant post. Have you been to kaduna lately? Do you even know the massive infrastructure constructed in kaduna? Kaduna is seriously turning into Abuja. Don't you know investors are attracted to infrastructures? Or would you also say Abuja's development during el-rufai's reign as minister of fct was due to some poverty eradication scheme or aid granted to the region as per "north"? So ignorant and unintelligent of you. Ever since the massive development in Abuja by el-rufai, haven't there been an increase in investment (economic activities) in that city? And don't give me that "it's the capital of the nation crap" Cos if you are well travelled you'll realize there are countries whose capital are not investment hubs as such. Even Washington DC when it comes to "economic activities" and investments cannot be compared to California or Florida, Nevada, Atlanta not just New York sef. Go siddon jor. Very ignorant post. People would sit down and talk nonsense about the north without visiting to see things for themselves. "Dem say Dem say" is what people rely on and argue like they are aware FIRST HAND. Rumour peddlers everywhere. Learn not to believe everything the media tells you. Fake news is real.
That report is true and thanks to the Governor (El-rufai) who has been developing the state and covid-19 which brought Lagos backwards. Go to north and see wonders, you'll cry and oust your state governors. You'll see reasons why niger-delta militants are shouting (even though i dont support militancy and they of course are being cheated by their own leaders and chiefs hence fighting blindly and fighting the wrong enemy)
Don't argue blindly please

When a blind pointing governor shut down all businesses in Lagos,all in the name of corona league,imagine t-fare from Egbeda to VI is 1k,and we have leader who's not even doing anything at all.Lock Lagos till 2022,we will know who will suffer it.This just the first face of the result.

It shows your up bringing, in a forum like this, you state your points logically and intelligently, not abusing. The annoying thing is that you are a youth

Anyway, God bless you sir.

After all your ranting, I want to tell you by birth and geographical location, I be mutumu Arewa.

Do you know how much money Obj sank into Abuja between 1999 to 2007? Are you giving the credit only to El-Rufai?

If you were the governor of Lagos, tell me something you'll do special or different.

are you sure no be money the dem dey steal?

IMO01:
AS expected

if there is only one thing in which respect El Rufai for it is his perfect understanding of how investments works. i know how el rufai acheived this. let me tell people

1. when he became governor he created KADIPA kaduna investment promotion agency, this agency was mandated to promote investment potential of kaduna state to the world. This method is how other countries attract investment no other story

2. all other parastatals in kaduna state are under kadipa, both housing, mining , etc. meaning investors can have liscences ready in a day without delay which investor wont invest in kaduna state where processes has been eased

3. the deputy governor heads kadipa so any investor related issue can be reach the governor with ease

even a mad man would prefer to invest in kaduna state than lagos

4. Reduced taxation to the barest minimum to attract investors

The former governor of imo state Emeka Ihedioha copied the idea and created insipa to attract investment in imo state i was lucky to be somewhere he was saying it. they removed him i know that project is dead by now


Every state in nigeria has to have their own investment promotion agency if they really want to create jobs and generate IGR. NIPC cant carry all states in nigeria at once.

so more nepotism.

PROUDIGBO:


Kaduna equally faced a lockdown!

The difference between Lagos and Kaduna was driven primarily by the Buhar/El-Rufai/kitchen-cabinet cabal! Let's not kid ourselves! Most of the decisions that drive investment in the country are discussed by these people behind the scenes.....on the phone or during personal visits, to the exclusion of the clueless and mumu national assembly, FEC and Governors forum!

Take out the construction of gas pipeline which is in paper work stage out. Lagos remains the highest receiver of DFI. The writer purposefully use that headline to generate crowd

Nasir El Rufai will be a better President of Nigeria

MelesZenawi:


Was there level playing when Obasanjo made Lagos the only functional port for years


I was even thinking you are smart but seems kanus ideology is too down on you.

Just listen to yourself! Your answer wasn’t to refute my allegation that Buhari is nepotistic, greedy, unfair and corrupt, but to say Obasanjo did it as well! I suppose it’s all good then since, as you claim, Obasanjo was guilty of the same offence!

Not welcoming foreign investors and putting in place regulations that will ensure that profit from investment in a particular environment is largely reinvested within that same environment for economic development are two different things.
Your earlier post to which I responded to is different from your second post which is more reasonable.

There are critical sectors you need to invest in your self ....

We keep telling Nlanders that investment is about market availability, culture of the people, govt policies and access to raw materials not bigotry. If we had access to the sea, northern states like Kano, Kaduna and the FCT would be competing neck to neck with Lagos.

Rilwayne001 take note. Our illiteracy did not stop us.

Why Kaduna no go pass Lagos when the state is not on lockdown like Lagos. Sanwo olu doesn't have a business idea.He thinks the #10b he collected from Buhari will be question when he lift the ban on lockdown.

Kaduna was on lockdown for close to 90 days.

Tinubu is doing a great job in Lagos

Illiteracy is not stopping you, but nepotism and quota systems has help. Well done to the done to the North.

What's quota system here? The governor attracted investors to the state with good policies while your governors are busy sharing kerosene and cutting Ponmo. Just look at what NDDC is doing to the Niger delta region.

I'm happy Igbo towns are 99.99% indigenous investors

A foreign Investor would invest 20 million into your local economy ...take out 500 million over the next 10 years ...and we wonder why we are not growing ?

Now, you see the main reason why the Igbo region is the least developed in the whole Nigeria. Imagine if Yoruba government stopped the Igbo investments from Eko Idumota, Ladipo, Computer Village and Alaba Market and replaced them with Yoruba investments. Would you be happy again? Your:""I'm happy Igbo towns are 99.99% indigenous investors"" will become bitterness right? Since the Igbos biggest investments are situated in a foreign lands.

How may Lebanese have houses in Nigeria ? Don't they rent ?
How many Chinese have lands in Nigeria ..

Get out of my mention

Kaduna State ($2.61bn), Lagos ($221m), wow,see the margin.

Say what you know, Kaduna was in total lockdown for 2 months and 2 weeks, ask questions.
