Btruth:
that's just it. The latter is damn too greedy, and everyone knows this; even his followers. But they need to be wetting their peek always.

You, kriss216 and the likes are just being sentimental.

Tinubu can not be greedy sice he could leave his senatorial ambition in 2007 Because of fashola's governorship aspiration thereby giving his already bought senatorial form to Ganiyu Solomon.

How many of your saint has done such?

You're a wise man.
If we should talk, jakande(the arole Awolowo) of the time erred when they align with the enemy of Awolowo. Then, the progressives distance themselves from him and Babatope

You're a wise man.

Does it explain why awolowos wife and jakande distance themselves from tinubu ?

I mean distance themselves from progressive party abi traitor Deni

I'm very sure awolowo would do the same.

Lagoon0:

Don't drag Lagos comparison to other state in Nigeria. Lagos has never been mate with other state. Don't use that to defend a traitor and overzealous criminal.

The whole eight years of tinubu how much was Lagos generating internally ?
Was it the reason he take percentage of Lagos income tax as profit?

Do you think this is how Lagos is supposed to be by now?
Or you think lagos is okay because she's better than other state?

Don't be myopic tell me you stance!

You just jump into what doesn't concerns you... I am making a comparison between What I quoted where the other writer was talking about (No UBE in Lagos) vs Baba Awo (Free education in Western Region). This shows you that the bane of my comparison is based on Education solely and the domain it applies to is the South Western Region which I am sure you might not be able to relate to.

Concerning the IGR when Tinubu came in Lagos IGR was 600million a month and he raised it to 30Bn per month in his 1st Tenure. Yes Lagos as resources but if we had bad leaders it would have been way worse than other state despite the money. Bayelsa receive 13% Oil Derivation per month and despite having a population that's 1/5 of the whole of Alimosho Local Government where is the development there today you can have resources and yet you're still poor.

Ibadan was the former capital of the western region and a lot of Yoruba's collective monument was placed there.. Tell me since we started using states how many has been built by Oyo State Government since then... Today sef when you talk about economic viability Oyo is lagging behind Ogun which was not so before..
Oyo as the potentials but the state has been plagued with bad governance and that is why the state is gradually slipping out of the pack.

We just need one single tenure of outrightly bad leadership in Lagos to see that we don't have any money. The small that happened under Ambode sef till today the state hasn't fully recovered because we know where we were when Fashola handed over in 2015.

Lagos is certainly not where she should be but we all know when it comes to governance the intent is there.

I am not understanding something o , if Tinubu had retired from Mobil in the late 80s as said in this write up how old was he when he retired and how old is he right now .

Make una talk now o, because he will become president now una go go bring out his file .

sangresan:


Idiotic journalists full Nigeria...So what has the content of this article got to do with the headline? Anyways, some of us are old enough to know the reason why baba Jakande was freezed out of politics in Yorubaland...It was because of his ill-thought decision not to resign from Abacha's cabinet.

Jakande, Babatope, and others paid for the decision not to quit the stage when the ovation was loudest...They sacrificed their budding political political careers at the altar of serving Abacha's military regimes.

It's funny how everything must be blamed on Tinubu..

Onijekuje ni Tinubu. Thug breeder ni pelu. You see, Pa jakande couldn't have loved to pitch his tent near him in the first place. He had seen all his secret, tacit and desperate moves to mortgage lagos and baba no wan die before his time. With all the noise being made up and down with fake media hype over Tinubu's achievements, what Pa jakande achieved under 4 years , including completion of the then largest housing estate in Africa, were much more than what Tinubu achieved in 8 jeun soke, jeun sapo years with all the huge revenues at his disposal. Had buhari not stopped the lagos lite rain project as commenced by jakaknde for no just cause, transport wahala would have since been a thing of the past in lagos . Baba didn't buy a single helicopter, talkless of setting up a company and use same to siphon lagos money. Tinubu's empire is nearing its end already.

Lagoon0:

Does it explain why awolowos wife and jakande distance themselves from tinubu ?

He just explained Jakande toll another path other than that of Awolowo, the progressives then refused to align with him.
His position as arole Awolowo was then bestowed on Uncle Bola Ige.


For HID, who we know is Awolowo. HID isn't a politician.

In all, richdad1 has said everything, IT'S ABOUT IDEOLOGY.

Tinubu has never toll another path aside the progressive path of Awolowo

I would have been disappointed If they actually got along.

Lagos is the fifth largest economy.
Richer than Ghana in GDP terms.

Richer than Rwanda both in GDP and Internally generated revenues.

Does Lagos maintains embassies, military, police,?
Rwanda does and they still do it very well.

Stop talking nonsense.

Nigeria is the largest economy in Africa with the largest number of dollar billionaires.

70% of the economy is concentrated in Lagos for better or worse.
That is to tell you the scale of the wealth in Lagos.

Many African countries don't have it and they are doing far far better than Lagos.

I'm a Lagos native. Stop comparing or including other state I don't know about.

Lagos state massive increase was a result of improve mechanism in the collection of tax.
And it does give room for massive looting or taking percentage to your personal account.

Apart from CBN estate Abuja I've live my life in Lagos and I can tell you Lagos is not progressing to high level of corruption from tinubu allies and cronies .
Only people who come from other villages come here boast of a dying city fill with looters and lack transparency , that its progressing .

My Lagos can do better than this. We're smarter than all this little project we see.
The end of tinubu dynasty will be the birth of a greater Lagos.

And we will keep pushing! We want a Lagos with database and open analysis of state funds and tax collected.

I want to use this forum to plead with his Excellency, the executive governor of Kogi State and all those who have his ears on this platform to prevail on Mustapha Akaaba- the executive chairman of Ajaokuta LGA to pay the salaries of workers he has refused to pay in the last three months particularly those on the clemency list of his Excellency - All. Yahaya Bello.

We know the Governor is not aware of this unruly behavior of Mustapha Akaaba, however, the larger populace of the workers are made to believe that this is the instruction from the Governor.

Ajaokuta LGA workers have suffered for too long that they can't bear the pang of inconvenience this unilateral action of the Chairman is inflicting on them.

Your Excellency Sir, as a Presidential material and candidate, you should not allow any action of any of your appointees or subordinates to give a bad image of you to the masses either at the local, state or national level.

I will be expecting a swift response of the governor and I will be back to confirm to the world as soon as the Chairman does the needful.

So you are now begging for salaries..... APC NEXT LEVEL ACTIVATED

madness

NIgeria got $10billion foreign investment for 2020 and $8.1b went to Lagos.
The smallest state by landmass.

That is serious wealth for govt to work with.

It is even unfair to compare other states to Lagos.

The amount of wealth in Lagos can make yahaya Bello look like Awolowo.

CSTRR:

Many African countries don't have it and they are doing far far better than Lagos.

Largest economy doesn't mean good economy.

The Lagos state GDP per capital income is very poor .
Don't use figure to boast.

Its more like saying 200 people in a room with #100 each. That would make its total #20000
While in the other room just 20 people with #300 each which make the total #6000 .
Now the first is larger economy why the second is a smaller economy but the first has a bad ecomony while the second has a good economy.

Hope you get it now right? Now Nigeria and Lagos combine are not faring well compared to the I population because of the thiefs in Lagos state politics

If someone like Zulum governs Lagos State, lagosians will stone all the past governors from tinubu to sanwo olu.

Maybe when Lagos becomes 'Lagos for Lagos' she will be better placed... Nigeria treats Lagos as a state whereas it's big enough for a country... That's why till today every Government is still shying away from the simple question 'When will lagos be giving the special status'. You sef reason am Rwanda and Alimosho dey drag population... Yet what goes to Alimosho is paltry because of the Lack of foresight by OBJ. And I am sure you know the whole talk of lagos being rich is not about money in the bank Because Lagos is a debt servicing state.

Lagos State makes far more than Rwanda.
That excess wealth has more than made up for the population difference.

Lagos does not maintain FG agencies like Rwanda does.

Lagos as at 2017 had a GDP of $136billion with a per capital of $5000.
That is twice the National value.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.ft.com/content/ff0595e4-26de-11e8-b27e-cc62a39d57a0

GDP/capital of Rwanda aa at 2020 is $750.
While Lagos is $5000 as at 2017.

The difference in the scale of wealth is outrageous.
And yet Rwanda looks better governed.

Lagos does not need special Status. It need better governance.

Give Lagos State to most nairalanders and they won't do worse than sanwo olu.

Very simple........



One is a thief, whilst the other was a builder.........

The reason why that $5000 is not reflecting in the lives of most lagosians, is because of misgovernance and high level corruption.
So much leakages.

The corruption in Lagos is so great that the best governor in Lagos, babatunde fashola refused to domesticate the FOI bill.

Tax collecting agents are private companies of past governors.

Of course, you cannot see the $5000 in your lives.

@bolded progressive path of awolowo is looting percentage of Lagos tax because it got computerize during his tenure?
People sing about tinubu increasing IGR like its rocket science.
Just like the way people commend OBJ for bringing telephone to Nigeria. You'll think he invented it.

What tinubu did was what every 21st century leader would do to a population like Lagos.

Now appointing and revoking governors is also the part of awolowo right?

Sponsoring thugs like MC is also a popular progressive ways of awolowo right?

Aligning with buhari would be what awolowo would also do bah?

Acquiring investment as sitting governor by proxy is also awolowo progressive lifestyle Shu!


Continues silence over southwest security issues and speaking only on party issues are awolowo progressive step bah?

Giving mc oluomo the go ahead to sponsor his boys contesting with thugs over their fellow indigene in various part of lagos is also awolowo method ?

Despite the cry and protest of Lagos indigene student acting like they dont exist and instead wasting money on campaign is awolowo top notch policy on education bah?

I'm yet to know , it seems you were very close to awolowo and believed the closest person to awolowo didnt take awolowo's part its distance person who Is a politician that is the one taking the right part.

I see how you justify politician vs sane people with no political interest .

The write up, I think is all about the writer’s imagination. Every writer find ways to demean Tinubu and push up the numbers of their readers. Can the writer mentioned any Awo’s ardent followers that is still close to Jakande. Tinubu and his disciples are the only ones that are close to Jakande, which always displease the labelled Awo’s true followers. Did the writer ever wonder why Baba Jakande is in APC and the other Awo’s are flaunting for PDP? At Baba Jakande’s 90th birthday, can the writer mentioned who is proud to celebrate with him among the so called Awoist? I believed the picture below will do justice to the question

BRF was an exceptional leader . I thought that's the aim of tinubu.
I heard hamzat was the engineer behind most fashola doings and fashola recommended hamzat but tinubu brought ambode instead.

Who talking about hate. Only ipob talk with hatred. I'm staking the obvious myopic politics tinubu is playing with Lagos money, he doesn't worth defending to me
