Haha!

You are already there with your backward ways of reasoning, no need for transportation fare anymore.

Seeing you get angry with a study done on an international city like Lagos where so many international citizens lives, makes me feel you really need help coming back to our Morden world.

It is not an arguable fact that Lagos State has not seen measurable development that is befitting of her status as a commercial city with a basic economic yield that eclipses about 50 African countries. In a manner of speaking, the annual revenue being disclosed to the NBS is actually well under half of what Lagos makes in reality. And for a state with a small geographical landmass, housing the population equivalent of two to three Northern states, Lagos is immensely overburdened, reason the very oxygen there is toxic enough to reduce the life expectancy of an average Nigerian by 10years.

That being said, it is important to remind the likes of the OP and others who find delight in meddling with issues concerning Lagos, that there's the need for you all to "LET LAGOS BE"!

Leave Lagos State for Lagosians. Whatever problems and challenges the state has, should be of no concern(s) to you. If you see the need to live or work there, do it in relative peace and self-awareness. Stop bothering yourselves with issues of no positive consequences to your lives. Yorubas and other Lagosians like the city as it is. Do not complain on their behalf. By virtue of studies and published analysis, Lagos is adjudged to be a sinking city that has been predicted to be swallowed by the Atlantic ocean in about 50years. If and when that should happen, leave Lagosians to mourn the loss.

I see no sense in making Lagos state your headache when you're peacefully residing in a far away state. Personally, even if a gun is put to my head, I won't live or work in Lagos State cause of my sanity. I spent 3years of my young life over there and the lawlessness and arbitrary living standards are not for me. So y'all should learn to find peace within yourselves and leave Lagos alone!

If you were intelligent enough, you'd have realised my exchange with the OP was consequent upon previous engagements that transcend beyond this thread. But as always, your stupid brain is too cold to deduce understanding from words, except what your animalistic tendencies permit you to believe.

Now I see why Yoruba people bastardise you folks on this platform. You run into issues like headless chickens and mountain goats on heat. Even things you have little or no information about, your crude senses push you into unsavory reactions before you remember to ask the right questions or make the right observations.

Stupid bastards like you are responsible for why Nigerians of other tribes loathe your tribe and region. The young man I was having a conversation with is a refined Igbo man and it is pitiable that he has to share roots with animals like you.

There's an agency I do see patching up roads in Lagos state before, I wander why they are not effective again. It's been long I saw them work on a road in Lagos.

What I don't just understand about this platform is that , every little thing that concerns one state in Nigeria would quickly be turned around into tribal fight BTW East and West ..wait is it only Easterners residing in Lagos ? I'm a bonifide Yoruba from ijesha origin my father has a company in oregun Lagos , we gave land to emzo paracetamol if you want to know . most of you guys here always quick to claim lagosians then be turning an eye opener about how nigeria govt leadership is been run to tribal fight are mostly low ass guys that if we find out ur parent no get anything for Lagos or might just move to Lagos less than a decade . You all need to be calming down ,the topic is about how the Lagos state local govt is not doing anything despite the huge revenue they get which is very true .. So many inner road network in Lagos is deplorable , block drainages, it what we see everyday no be mouth ..they are just stealing money every time but u assholes here always claiming leave our Lagos alone go de suffer and be smiling ..Abeg you people should shift jor and stop all this rubbish about saying South East South East .. The South Easterners living in Lagos and paying their heavy taxes and dues for doing business so if they point out something wrong they have got the right ...fake Yoruba boiz claiming lagosians .. Who is your father in Lagos

A drive through Lagos will leave the picture of dilapidated infrastructure before you.

Is it the expressway from Ojota to Costain that now has collapsed portions that a simple patchwork could have solved?

Is it the the road to Ogombo from Abraham Adesanya that has totally collapsed and spills traffic to Abraham Adesanya roundabout?

Is it the abandoned project at VGC that left bad portions of road there that causes massive traffic and loss of productive hours?

Is it the construction of Awoyaya to Abraham Adesanya section of the Lekki-Epe Expressway that is moving at the speed of snail which has made a trip that should have been 10 minutes to run into 3 hours sometimes?

Or is the total collapse of infrastructure in Idumota Market with flood almost taking over some section of the market without government lifting a finger?

Or is it the fact that no inner streets roads has been constructed anywhere in Lagos in the past four years?

These things leaves you wondering, “what is Lagos really doing with its huge revenue”?

Again, one can’t help but wonder, if smaller and poorer states like Ebonyi, etc, can build infrastructures without putting it back on the residents in the name of tolls, why does Lagos keep concessioning major infrastructural projects like roads, bridges, to private entities who use their money to build these projects and resort to daily taxing of residents in the name of tolls in order to recoup their investment?

What stupid topic? From useless people with nothing from where they originate? Low IQ piece of trash. People only listen to people that have something to offer. Not losers like you. Who small boys are treating like animals at home. Yet others should respect your opinion? You have no right to an opinion. No one rates you in Nigeria. A man without a peaceful home is a joke, all over the world. You are a coward and come from a long line of cowards who are daft, and follow daft people like sheep to slaughter every 30yrs. Bunch of fools.

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 vandalized.

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.

The fact that you refugees who can’t face men like you keep running to Lagos to constitute nuisance is causing a strain on the infrastructure. Go home and make your home Japan before bothering about others. You are all a useless and nuisance joke to SW’enrs. You have no pride and no home. So you are not rated. All you do wherever you go is consistute nuisance either through drugs or crime. Make your home heaven first before you point out anything in another man’s land. Bloody transgender nuisances. Transgender even have more courage than you. Useless IPOB target practice. No value to Nigeria. Your useless Governors don’t even have one functioning hospital in the whole SE but na Lagos be the biggest problem for your head. Mad group of people. If I was Igbo I will be so ashamed of you fools.
