Please you guys should please do something about this Boko Haram stuff. Better yet, maybe you should write a letter to the president to do something. He wouldn't want his own family to die an innocent death.
nigeria needs a hell of a lot more investment and money. chinese spending $300billion on their own railways. thats more than nigeria makes in 20years. The GDP of nigeria is low all they have presently is oil. they dont use their gas/iron/aluminium/gold/sugar/wheat/flour/cement like they should. just crazy.
lagos has improved infrastructure wise because we now are blessed with a governor who employes people TO DO THEIR JOB , not by TRIBAL AFFLIATION BUT BY ABILITY .. something which is comparatively new as a concept for us in nigeria.. lol! GOOD JOB .. may the impeachers go impeach themselves jo!
@tech4156 yeah right , the greed that powers NEPA isnt going anywhere soon, so frustrating ,,, on that score, not even FASHOLA can perform that miracle..
all this pictures unreal >>>>> Lagos need rebuilding > All the roads very bad > Trafic completely is very very bad > Go slow all time 24/7 >> electricity very bad >> clean drinking water not avilable>>> telephone network all time busy and bad>>>> there is no infrastructure at all >>> and crimes level is to high> > and many things others . the work you can do it in the developed countres withn one day here in lagos you need 15 day
I hope Lagos becomes so amazing that it makes other African countries that are badly developed so jealous that they do there best to compete n shape up. I just want 2 c more creativity flourishing within Africa so they are not looking to the West but are building their own industries which africans are supporting from the inside. I said b4 these guys like him and Mallam Lamido Sanusi, are almost like White (or black) Knights (i.e The Dark Knight) saving parts of Africa n brightening its future.
Excellency Mr. Babutunde Raji Fashola! Congratulations from Brazil. I really appreciate what you are doing for the development of humanity. A great hug to all my brothers of Lagos - Nigeria. Geronimo from Goiânia - State of Goiás - Brazil
I think they need to have Stop lights my goodness I was there in 2008 and I was scared the way they drove traffic jams seems like they were playing chicken with the cars and it was scary also they need to fix the potholes or more like street ponds that is crazy to have the streets looking like that in a mess like that. I love the people there very warm and friendly I am going back soon to visit hope its in better shape then it was in 2008.
@myking2be LOL you don't need stoplights in Lagos .. You just stick your nose out there and ease into traffic ..and yes the potholes are still there but the roads are improving thanks to Fashola.. I will be voting for him when it's election time again. My husband and I reside In Surulere and even here we are seeing improvements
We all need to stand behind this guy.Don't vote for your relative because you can eat from him/her. Lets expose the ANIMALS that don't care about the HUMAN BEINGS. We need people that will care about NIGERIA.about AFRICA.
Attention all young Nigerians that are still voting for old certified crooked politicians because of their name. Let the old politicians go and rest in their villages and the new young dynamic Nigerian leaders can step forward and lead the country in the right direction. FASHOLA is a good example of that.
@miamad Wow, this so called "Negro" must have cuddled with you to have stolen your wallet and given you bugs from his hair because you are very sure he is the one that stole your wallet and that his hair is infested with bugs and he passed it onto you, I wonder why you even went to Nigeria in the first place.
@miamad Yes, sometimes its hard to adapt to cultural differences, I can understand how it would upset you. I myself was shocked upset and disturbed when I found out my neighbour had been raping his daughter in the basement for several years..Ive since found out that this kind of thing is just part of the white mans culture..It still makes me feel sick but I am trying to appreciate that thats just the way they are.
@sophisticsolice Sorry to hear about your neighbour, that is awful. The niggers in Nigeria were just terrible. They were animals. Dishonest, dirty criminals.
The nigger is simply the least intelligent race. Just like dog breeds, some are smarter than others. Some of them still run around killing animals with spears. They don't invent anything or contribute to mankind in any way. They are really just a waste of resources.
@miamad what u need to do in earnest is not to sit ur ass behind the computer and hit some disgusting words about africans...u need to see a doctor. U are sick
@miamad What did you go to Nigeria to do in the first place. Like you say it is dirty and awful. You knew that all these while but you went. Nigeria still has enormous challenges but those problems will be solved. Using the n-word to describe someone that you claim stole your wallet is so discriminatory and hateful. Do not judge. No person or country is perfect. I know that Nigeria and the rest of Africa will surprise skeptics like you. Just watch and see!
I can remember when that place where Mark Eddo was standing in the last few seconds of the video, was entirely covered in sand and full of those "white garment church" tents....that's a big change right there!
Also Botwana seems to be do it rather well. If it wasn't for the HIV crisis they would almost be at a European level.
I hope that Nigeria (and Africa) in general can get itself on it's feet. It has the resources and now it needs the willpower and discipline. And they should stop relying on our development aid but they should negotiate for a fairer trade policy.
babatunde fashola is one of nigerian real home boys so wereever he is he will always remember the people he used to be like before respect to babatunde fashola ,bola tinubu and all the lagos government team.
@nilesh321 You've got it all wrong. This is not a beneficial action. Its based on mega-business. There are NO selfless governors. He is pushed by the companies who want to sell electricity, water, sewage for taxes. This is whats behind that. That people are moving to lagos to live in slums is not natural law. They could also stay where they came from. First this governor should get rid of the big oil corporation. Then lagos will become a normal city.
1. God Bless you Babs and I say every Nigerian should support you and not only by contributing by way of paying tax but physically too. Just can't wait to be over to see my beloved Lagos. Eko O, eeko ile. Eeyo baba ni tawa.
2. I hope this will inspire us all to start packing our bags for home. Nigeria has a lot of potential honestly and with special people like Babs, we are starting to see this come through.
Amongst many other things, enforcement, discipline, law and order should also bring our city and country out fully. Viva Lagos, Viva Nigeria
God bless you big Baba Tunde God Will Give you what you want. From my heart i am an igbo woman but how i wish my people could use your stile Nigeria will change. Pls keep it up demolish every rotin house and put the right one. Chukwu Gozia baba Tunde of Lagos state Tear, Tears In my Eyes OOh GoD!!!!
The remnant of colonialism is holding Nigeria together, for the concept of nationhood did not exist prior to the coming of Britain. Nigeria was then a tribal expression in each niche where it must righfully head to.
Nnfefe, you seem out to antagonise people unecessarilly with your myopic and childish generalisation. Your agenda is clearly obvious, but I don't think this is the appropriate place to propagate it. Find somewhere else to release your bile and please grow up.
@tawe2006 . 25% of every african is a nigeria and yet what comes out of that country except of oil makes people to hold their nose. There goes Africa. Bury your head in the sand and all will be lilly good. Won't it be meritorious for Britain to show you one or two tricks again?
@Nnfefe, Please dont generalise when you speak of Nigeria. You need to only read about the Benin Kingdom, which even went as far to send Envoys to Portugal, to know the concept of nation wasnt alien to Nigerians.
Even before the British overthrew the Oba of Benin, they recognized him as sovereign over the nation of Benin
Nigeria has problems much like other nations. It also has had to deal with much upheaval historically, repairing that damage will take time. Negativity builds nothing
Nnfefe:Get off ur jelousy on Nigeria. I doubt u're an African. Nigerians are happy for other countries of Africa who are making it big, that is why we are doing great. We are proud and do not wish others bad. We love our french speaking brothers Ivorians. Idiots like u hate others success and you will die poor and miserable. You ain't seen nothing yet, right now I'm in Lagos eating my KFC Chicken while I read ur nonesense from my Laptop. Bet u can't live this good.
You feel the pain because truth hurts. Open sewers are abound every where in Lagos, soon to be a Mega city without central sewage treatment plant, and that's shitty.
If you are not a Nigerian go and look into ur country's problem because IO know we are far better than ur country tht is not up to the size of Oyo State of my country ( The largest town in the whole of Africa is IBADAN and part of Oyo State)
Nnefefe: That smell comes from ur village...lol.. Watch this vid and the people of Lagos. You don't even know what is happening in Lagos talkless of Nigeria. EVERY COUNTRY HAVE ITS CAPITAL IN THE CENTRE OF THE COUNTRY... FOOL! Just like NY is a commercial centre of USA. Lagos is commercial centre. ABUJA IS APPROPRIATE AS CAPITAL CITY. You're a disturbed person that is putrefied with hate & anger. You're insecured as a Nigerian(i.e if u are) You wish the hole or tree u jumped from look like Lagos
Is not also true that now matter how educated some you folks are, there is s definite presence of shit pool under the bed, i.e. a portable seware system?
Nnfefe: I pity ur low ego, you are a pitiful hatefilled insignificant other group. Maybe in ur villkage they do all u said or the type of upbringing you have. If u believe tht then believe some tribes in Nigeria (name witheld) still eat human beings and kill strangers for dinner. I'm not exposed to ur lifestyle and I have not been to anywhere they have shit pool under bed (NEVER HEARD OF THIS) LOL. Some people really live rough from which ever tree they jumped from NOT MY LAGOS
Nnfefe: I don't have idea what you are talking about, I have NEVER heard of under the bed shit pool anywhere in Nigeria talkless of Lagos. Every house have their toilets why should a sewage be under bed. NO SEWAGE EVER RUN INSIDE A HOUSE IN NIGERIA. The pipes from toilet lead to outside direct to the sewage or those who don't have suck away pit, never run thru the bedroom. Is that wht happens from where you come from? NOT MY NIGERIA!
For ur information, I was born and raised in Ikoyi, now grown I have my own house in VCG, my only contact with Lagos Mainland is Ikeja and friends at Surulere. I have seen worst places but never seen any house that have sewage underbed.
Nnfefe: We are not living in the same world. Lagos is nothing like you were told. All those Balogun areas and Martins Streets are now decent most buildings have been demolished for modern buildings. You have old colonial mentality, Lagosians are more decent and sophisticated than what you think. I'm going to bed its past 2 a:m
@Nnfefe I tried to resist the urge to respond to you however, i felt it necessary to inquire as to the source of your information. On a serious note. This in not an attack in the least bit but it is as inaccurate an info as any and i'm REALLY curious as to it's source.
Actually a lot of countries have not. Washington DC is in the East of the United States. London is on the river Thames in the East of the UK. Amsterdam and The Hague (our capital is Amsterdam and our centre of government is The Hague) are not located in the heart of the country either.
Lagos has definitely changed. He's literally transforming Lagos and he's not even the only one. Asaba looks a million time better than before. Enugu is beyond gorgeous now. Anambra has improved too. Some Nigerian governors are actually doing their job for once.
@pforcool where did you get that meaning? nothing of the sort! it was coined by flora shaw fron the the River Niger which runs the most part of the country
Very refreshing to see someone who cares about helping the people instead of enriching himself, like most of the crooked nigerian politicians and so called leaders.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
went to Lagos with the royal marines last week its a shit hole smells everywhere, people all luke like there just abut to pull a nife out on you, kids try selling you shit like plastic, wood, metal cans. err i hope i never have to go back there ever again
who caused it'? you britts. you came colonised us when you were leavin you appoint useless people to run the country so there is chaos and therefore you would have a reason to come back "to the rescue" :P
we don't want you and your ignorance ...You can't take care to spell even your own language correctly ..so as far as I'm concerenced we do not need your uneducated sort... stay in your small blinkered world..... You should be grateful to have had the privelage! Trust. me those kids trying to sell you their wares will outsmart you any day and run rings round you 100 times over!
0:11 . Hope is dangerous when it is failed on continuously such as in Nigeria.
Look at MEND in the Niger Delta. They've become tired of hoping and waiting for promises that never came and have taken to arms. I DO NOT SUPPORT THEM because their actions are destroying the nation's fragile economy and vital infrastructure but it shows the danger of unfulfilled hope.
Don't let our pride get in the way. Honestly admitting our problems will help us to find out how best to manage them.
MEND (when all is said and done cares about the pockets of its members than truly those of its people)....how else will you continue to destroy oil pipes DURING peace talks?? How can you show you have a rational leadership supporting the DELTA people when you operate like HOOLIGANS DURING peace talks? now the oil companies have blame...but lets be honest when local govt chairmen can send 4 kids abroad with $1M homes abroad.we have to look in the mirror sometimes....
Nigeria is falling behind in the development race and that's because they don't have fundamental infrastructure working. For example, Nigeria's power capacity is a meagre 6GW for a popultaion of over 145mil people. South Africa has a power output of 35GW with a population of 50mil and they still have blackouts! It's a real shame that Nigeria's leaders are not willing to deal with the fundamental issues of development. They only seem interested in spending money on fancy "white elephants".
@muncasteroger Mr man, put all those your statistics in your pocket, what do you know about shame, do you have plans to go into politics and make a change? if you don't, please keep quiet and watch. We are discussing progress that has been made, you should be celebrating progress, you are not too young to give ideas on the electricity issue in the country.
@eememu1: It's reasoning like that that'll keep Nigeria's leaders resting on their laurels. We all need to keep expecting more of our leaders all the time. Celebrating progress is not enough.
As for politics you know as well as I do that politics in Nigeria is like the Mafia with assasinations and intimidation.
Finally, people's views change with the wind. Staistics never lie because they're the facts wether you accept them or not. Until Nigeria's stats improve, we still have a long way to go.
You showed a lot of maturity by not responding in the same tone i talked spoke earlier. I respect you for that. I am not arguing the fact that Nigeria does not have a long way to go...o yes we do have a long way to go...but you got to admit this man has sincerely done something when others are falling and because he started he gave a lot of people hope that things really could get better....I found out that tafa and his criminal elements robbed the country of over 200billion naira and you dont
@eememu1: Look at this recent example. The PHCN people promised to deliver a contant supply of 6 GW to the country by the end of 2009 and promised this will keep the lights on constantly. Today's date is Dec 31st 2009. Are the lights on constantly??? No.
Why? Because statistics never lie. 6 GW supply cannot meet Nigeria's demand. Nigeria's population (145 mil) needs at least 70 GW. Statistics. Fact.
Look at Brazil. Population 185 mil. Power capacity, 86 GW. Constant power in Brazil. Fact.
To celebrate fashiola, our honorable speaker of the house since he assumed office has spent 45billion naira on transportation and hotel reservation when asuu is on strike...we have a long way to go...but i believe we will get there.....I am going there to make a change just like fashola....come lets go together
I understand where you re coming from... but there is nothing fashola can do about electricity in lagos because it's the responsibility of the federal govt and since the fed got has refused to let go this responsibility, fashola's hands are tight . Lagos alone can generate enough electricity to power the lagos state but instead of using what it generates in Egbin Power Station, the Fed Gvt demands it should be put back unto national grid.
@packmanliverpool: You make a good point. There is only so much Fashola can do in the realm of power as the Egbin issue illustrates.
Lagos infrastructure development cannot be accelerated based on Federal allocations alone, hence the new taxes imposed by the state. Fashola is trying to woo foreign and local investors into local real-estate which is welcome.
An idea is to introduce laws on building construction standards to reduce the poor quality buildings plaguing the state. Any ideas?
Fashola is defenitely trying to improve Lagos' image, but that alone will not lift living-standards. Spending money on white elephant projects is just a waste. The key things are the most basic: Investment in infrastructure (electricity, telecoms and transport i.e. roads, rail, air, sea etc) are needed. Also vital is imporvement in education quality. Nigeria would then become more attractive to investors to do business and finance local industries/commercial services and hire local talent.
I never thot PHCN was ever going to even generate 1GW, electricity should be privatized not run by the government, in developed country electricity is run by the private sector, a guy from Africa was able to generate electricity for his home in a Village (dont have the details at hand). look it is time for our generation to stop sitting at home and just talking, we need to stand up and make a change personally.
US program "60 Minutes" did a report on Lagos about 30 years ago saying the place was a loss cause and then had the nerve to say the new city being built Abuja will have same problems.
@lankale2009: It's not up to noymoura to change anything. The masses can do the best they can but if the system is broken, the people ain't gonna fix it. That's the whole point of government. To develop a nation. So don't go pointing fingers.
All we can do is comment on what we see around us and vote for change (if we're not killed by thugs at the voting booth) and demand change from our leaders. Should we be suffering in silence?
You and I know Lagos is a bad place. Been to Ajegunle recently?
Did You just say politics is like mafia? and you want a change? I am a woman but i am ready to fight and die for this cause...why am I on earth, y was I born in Nigeria, my dear, it might not even be politics, as I speak to U, electrcity can be generated and I ve a friend testing his method in his house in Nigeria, if it works he is will to go all out. Please tell me anything you are doing.Fashola is not a mafia he is a civil servant, Akunyili is neither 1 she was in the position to serve
Change most always brings profit and new business that prosper but to maintain that level of growth to keep up with the expanding population is where the problems arise. That is why most these kind of nations don't do it because it prompts growth that this kind of system cannot increase its potential with. It works at first but then problems that weren't originally thought out take over. Crime, room for housing which will again create problems, food, with growth comes increase in people. etc.
Thanks Gov. Fashola god bless you,keep up the good work,hopefully those that dont like Lagos would go back to where ever they come from...Eko Oni Baje O
Fashola is hopefully the prototype for the future of African leadership. Also African cities need to develop with a distinct African flavor. There are ghettos in America, but let's put it in perspective. The people eat everyday, have cars, education....in America poverty means you don't have a Mercedes, but you have cell phones, cable tv, computer games, designer clothes and shoes, come to the so called "ghetto and see for yourselves it si not that poor.
Fashola is really the man in Nigeria to look up to in future.He's indeed an administrator not politicians like his colleagues.Kudos to u EKO O NI BAJE
Fashola, you really do a great work, but one thing is remaining. Get the Criminal with the name of Bola Tinubu. That criminal eyes bastard needs to be esterminated.
Thanks everybody for sharing all this info here. If you live in Lagos, love the city and would like to share information with us, please contact me. I'm the media director for Viva! Lifestyles, an online magazine that features megacities, including Lagos. Thanks and cheers ;-)
los angeles is a city connected by freeways and the only thing i could find that they had in common with lagos is the distinct architecture and the way the homes are built on the hills all around the city.. and the weather is great!
los angels has had its moments .. it has its slums and no go areas.. watts is not a place you live in without a gun !! no we have to be OURSELVES not a poor immitation of some city on the other side of the world where we have no common ground with..
Lagos is not just a city to me, it was my home for many yrs and we still have family property there.. i went to school and university there many yrs ago so it means much more to me than most places. however, we are unique, lagos is unlike any other city i have ever been in and i have seen quite a few in my time.. lagosians have their own distinct flavour that really has no duplicate.. as we say at home:"EKO FOR SHOW".. los angeles is a city connected by freeways and the only thing
Gov.Fashola keep up the good work,if Nigerians want a functional government they should vote for Action Congress...I wish the Americans will show us more of harlem,bronx and all their ghetto's more often than just Manhattan,hmmm.
i didnt put down my comment before i read yours , you understand where i am coming from, the americans dont advertise their bad areas, their violent cities and no go areas .. so why should we be parading our toilets to the world to see .. they dont show theirs why should we.?
I agree that only Lagos is functioning right now but I know that if there was an ODUDUWA nation other YORUBA states would follow suit. Governors would have to do their job or answer to the people. A state like Lagos would be a yardstick for which other states would be measured. Right now, the nation is so big that one state doing better than the others makes no difference.
There is no wholistic approach to Nigeria. She is a failed nation.
Currently only lagos os functioning, Ogun ,Oyo,Osun,are still neck deep in corrupt practices, so carving the Yoruba states out of the present arrangement isnt the solution to the nigerian problem. we need a wholistic approach to the issues.
Yorubas! Arise from your slumber and see what is happening. Oil war in the Niger Delta, religious riots in the Northern/Islamic states.
These people are pulling us back and we are allowing them.
We need to come together as people and walk away from the disaster called Nigeria. We need to build our nation and leave the Hausas/Fulanis with their illiteracy and violence.
It is time for the Yoruba nation to be carved out of Nigeria.
Great job Governor Fashola,you are a natural born leader,some people are just born to lead,20 million Nigerians(Lagosians),are saying thank you, and we love you ...
finally! as from the last video ive watched when nigerians in lagos were suffering with the power situation.
finally we need someone young and fresh and not corrupt to run lagos and get it back on its feet. it is the most populated city in nigeria. lagos needs all it can get.
i want to see not only this in lagos but all of nigeria.
we need a president like him, who thinks he should run for the next term in office?
the last no nonsense governor/power house was idiagbon way back in the day when i was a corper in the north in the mid eighties he ran like he was going to make things work and then he was killed by those who didnt like what he was doing.. for fashola to get people to pay their taxes in lagos is a bloody miracle in itself... my prayers are with him .
I was just in Nigeria. Security is non-existent. These moronic leaders have billions of naira to work with. There are cellphones with no electricity to charge, there are brand new cars with the worst roads in Africa. And then ------------- Mend attacks. Ah. What do the moronic Yoruba governors do? "we warn you, don't do it again" WHAT?
Of course MEND will return and i hope to go see the stupid leaders. REAL LEADERS SOULD HAVE TAKEN OVER THE SOUTHSOUTH. -----morons ---.
lived in lagos 1980-1986 it was busy , dirty, noisy most especially the traffic jams.. the "go-slows" the worst being the bridges connecting lagos to the mainland .. early morning rush hour was murder.!lol! yaba traffic was bad.. the marina worse.. but there were good times, and nice things and fun things to do to..
i want you to list the things that u have honestly contributed to the development of the city infact the country, then you will qualify to talk about the city....living in the city is not enough, if u no contribute then u need to keep quiet!!!!
are you crazy or on hemp?. get the heck out of here fool! dont get me started on you asshole and what have you done for lagos lately apart from being a pompous azz on youtube.. enough!!
Why are you getting your panties in a bunch idiot! He's doing his work... it's more than I can say for many politicians in Nigeria. So stop being a douche bag!
Please you guys should please do something about this Boko Haram stuff. Better yet, maybe you should write a letter to the president to do something. He wouldn't want his own family to die an innocent death.

Nigeria still has enormous challenges but those problems will be solved. Using the n-word to describe someone that you claim stole your wallet is so discriminatory and hateful. Do not judge. No person or country is perfect. I know that Nigeria and the rest of Africa will surprise skeptics like you. Just watch and see!

Also Botwana seems to be do it rather well. If it wasn't for the HIV crisis they would almost be at a European level.
I hope that Nigeria (and Africa) in general can get itself on it's feet. It has the resources and now it needs the willpower and discipline. And they should stop relying on our development aid but they should negotiate for a fairer trade policy.
Good luck Africa.

@nilesh321 You've got it all wrong. This is not a beneficial action. Its based on mega-business. There are NO selfless governors. He is pushed by the companies who want to sell electricity, water, sewage for taxes. This is whats behind that. That people are moving to lagos to live in slums is not natural law. They could also stay where they came from. First this governor should get rid of the big oil corporation. Then lagos will become a normal city.

0:11 . Hope is dangerous when it is failed on continuously such as in Nigeria.
Look at MEND in the Niger Delta. They've become tired of hoping and waiting for promises that never came and have taken to arms. I DO NOT SUPPORT THEM because their actions are destroying the nation's fragile economy and vital infrastructure but it shows the danger of unfulfilled hope.
Don't let our pride get in the way. Honestly admitting our problems will help us to find out how best to manage them.

Nigeria is falling behind in the development race and that's because they don't have fundamental infrastructure working. For example, Nigeria's power capacity is a meagre 6GW for a popultaion of over 145mil people. South Africa has a power output of 35GW with a population of 50mil and they still have blackouts! It's a real shame that Nigeria's leaders are not willing to deal with the fundamental issues of development. They only seem interested in spending money on fancy "white elephants".
muncasteroger 2 years ago
@muncasteroger Mr man, put all those your statistics in your pocket, what do you know about shame, do you have plans to go into politics and make a change? if you don't, please keep quiet and watch. We are discussing progress that has been made, you should be celebrating progress, you are not too young to give ideas on the electricity issue in the country.
eememu1 2 years ago
@eememu1: It's reasoning like that that'll keep Nigeria's leaders resting on their laurels. We all need to keep expecting more of our leaders all the time. Celebrating progress is not enough.
As for politics you know as well as I do that politics in Nigeria is like the Mafia with assasinations and intimidation.
Finally, people's views change with the wind. Staistics never lie because they're the facts wether you accept them or not. Until Nigeria's stats improve, we still have a long way to go.

eememu1 2 years ago
@eememu1: Look at this recent example. The PHCN people promised to deliver a contant supply of 6 GW to the country by the end of 2009 and promised this will keep the lights on constantly. Today's date is Dec 31st 2009. Are the lights on constantly??? No.
Why? Because statistics never lie. 6 GW supply cannot meet Nigeria's demand. Nigeria's population (145 mil) needs at least 70 GW. Statistics. Fact.
Look at Brazil. Population 185 mil. Power capacity, 86 GW. Constant power in Brazil. Fact.

eememu1 2 years ago
I understand where you re coming from... but there is nothing fashola can do about electricity in lagos because it's the responsibility of the federal govt and since the fed got has refused to let go this responsibility, fashola's hands are tight . Lagos alone can generate enough electricity to power the lagos state but instead of using what it generates in Egbin Power Station, the Fed Gvt demands it should be put back unto national grid.
packmanliverpool 2 years ago
@packmanliverpool: You make a good point. There is only so much Fashola can do in the realm of power as the Egbin issue illustrates.
Lagos infrastructure development cannot be accelerated based on Federal allocations alone, hence the new taxes imposed by the state. Fashola is trying to woo foreign and local investors into local real-estate which is welcome.
An idea is to introduce laws on building construction standards to reduce the poor quality buildings plaguing the state. Any ideas?
muncasteroger 2 years ago
Fashola is defenitely trying to improve Lagos' image, but that alone will not lift living-standards. Spending money on white elephant projects is just a waste. The key things are the most basic: Investment in infrastructure (electricity, telecoms and transport i.e. roads, rail, air, sea etc) are needed. Also vital is imporvement in education quality. Nigeria would then become more attractive to investors to do business and finance local industries/commercial services and hire local talent.
muncasteroger 2 years ago
I never thot PHCN was ever going to even generate 1GW, electricity should be privatized not run by the government, in developed country electricity is run by the private sector, a guy from Africa was able to generate electricity for his home in a Village (dont have the details at hand). look it is time for our generation to stop sitting at home and just talking, we need to stand up and make a change personally.

Change most always brings profit and new business that prosper but to maintain that level of growth to keep up with the expanding population is where the problems arise. That is why most these kind of nations don't do it because it prompts growth that this kind of system cannot increase its potential with. It works at first but then problems that weren't originally thought out take over. Crime, room for housing which will again create problems, food, with growth comes increase in people. etc.

I agree that only Lagos is functioning right now but I know that if there was an ODUDUWA nation other YORUBA states would follow suit. Governors would have to do their job or answer to the people. A state like Lagos would be a yardstick for which other states would be measured. Right now, the nation is so big that one state doing better than the others makes no difference.
There is no wholistic approach to Nigeria. She is a failed nation.
