The aftermath of years and years of neglect and corruption by Nigerian and Lagos State leaders. This is why Fiscal Federalism is the answer to Nigeria’s development. Let Lagos keep all the taxes, and VAT that comes to her instead of sharing same with Kebbi State. These people are Nigerians you know. Who will hear their cry. Thank God Gov. Fashola cares. How much can he do when the head is rotten, and the local councilors are there to loot?
God Help Us. Thank You Lord.

“I BROUGHT YOU (NIGERIA) OUT OF DARKNESS, AND I AM LEAVING YOU BACK INTO DARKNESS AGAIN” ===== Chief Obafemi Awolowo (Treasonable Felony Trial). This epistle was true yesterday, true today, and will be true always, UNTIL another Messiah in his likely form returns. All these so_called backstabbing, lip_service, and forked tongued politicians know that. Just like Jesus said; They all want to be like Jesus, but they will never act like like Jesus. Fela Anikulapo Kuti summed it to “SUFFERING and SMILING”; This logo should have replaced Unity and Faith. Nigerians are now tired of being tired, we need drastic martial laws to wrestle these governments away from these “AREA BOYS” type politicians running our lives.
