Governor Fashola said:
“This was the study of night life carried out by the government in five local governments including Agege, Mushin, Ifako-Ijaiye and Ikeja and another local government. It showed that more than N36 billion was spent on 1555 parties held within the period. We did a study between October and November last year. We studied from Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, three days every week for four weeks which was 12 nights. In 12 nights, 1555 parties were held in these local governments. In terms of drinks, food and all other engagements during such parties, about N1.2 billion was spent and when we dis-aggregated them we saw how much went to DJ, MC, food and drinks, the total picture in the state now and I don’t want to give you a wrong number but it’s something in the region of about N3 billion monthly on that side of our life and people are playing and impacting on that side of our economy.The governor further stated that Aso Ebi alone gulped a minimum of N1.2billion monthly.

DeleteAnonymous cunt, u need to visit d east and see how much ur pple spend on burials.
DeleteFunny,right?
ReplyDeleteCan't blame Lagosians,parties are necessary to cool off from all the hustle and bustle in that city.
But n36b is quite a huge sum to go on frivolous activities,isn't it?
In the end,just like the governor stated,It's good for the state's economy.
hehehehe Eko for show.
ReplyDeletethey rather spend on parties,then go to sleep in their Taxi's than rent an apartment.
~BONARIO~says so via NOKIA3310

B4 nko ? U must spend 2 have a nice party na !!! (Dancing 2 pakuruma
ReplyDeleteWhen you look and this finely stated report, you would have wished this research was done on a very chronic, killer disease affecting the country. Instead, what this governor would be thinking about is how placing heavy taxes on the celebrants. #cluelessgovernor
ReplyDeleteGbedu na competition for naija now. Wetin de governor go fit do sef. No b him money everybody dey spend na.
ReplyDeleteNa wa oh. And we complain that there is no money. God bless Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteKai see dodo. *salivating*
ReplyDeleteEko o ni baje ooo
ReplyDeleteThat one is normal na. Man must groove. Laughs. Froggy t.
ReplyDeleteThis is very good, the money is going round - to d caterers, party planners, DJ, interior decorators, MC's, hall owners, bouncers and un-invited guests even chop the food. Fashola should build high capacity halls and remove all the Toll gates.
ReplyDeleteWhich are there wifes and sister that will do those dj and cooking
DeleteAnd they have not used Lekki VGC banana island dem dem...excluding the money they go spend abroad. We rili like owambe for Lagos o

ReplyDeleteWow,speechless
ReplyDeleteLagosians ℓ̊ hail ooo
ReplyDeleteYoruba people and mgbati(party) are padis. Am not surprised at the amount. Signs of good living.
ReplyDeleteFoolish illiterate. People wey dey chop human being dey talk too
DeleteI wonder o, atleast they have d money to throw d party! Unlike your father that used his entire family to do rituals and still broke.
DeleteShould that be d business of lagos state govt? Anyone that can afford to have a party shld do abeg. Lagos state gov shld concentrate on finishing set projects, lik d badagry expressway road, dnt concern urself with parties abeg! Abi na ur money dem tak buy aso ebi?
ReplyDeleteVery soon in lagos u do party u pay for.dat party u ,guests come n eat food d celebrrante pay also so reduce d party lagosians.

ReplyDeleteSo? Dats where some of us make our living from oo..fashola better watch it. I'm a fan of the go nor, but it was parties dat changed my life, a jobless msc holder.
ReplyDeleteimagine what we could do with one third of that money?
ReplyDeleteBRF, how did you and your researchers come up with this figure?Abi iya bose dey give receipt for joint?
ReplyDeleteHow did he know??
ReplyDeleteFashola i will keep saying it is just a damn greedy governor, what is wrong with people spending their money for merriment after what God must have done for them, that is why he feels like deeping hands into the pockets of lagosian to always extort their monies. Agana eri oringo na lagos it has been before him fashola. So he would have been happy if na for burial wey people dey sped the money na i hate this governor so much
ReplyDeleteLagosians,brace up for more tax
ReplyDeleteWhy is gov fashola complaining, why waste time and money to carry out survey that will not benefit us in any way. Does pple doing the party have the money moreover they are helping the economy becos pple like the party planners, caterars, DJ, etc are been employed. When u look at it u will find out that all these pple rendering all these services are unemployed gratuates. Pls let the gov find other things to do survey on.
ReplyDeleteEko and owanbe..#synonymous
ReplyDeleteWetin concern dis fashola sef?didnt he bury his dad wit a massive party?abi dem no collect asebi ni?mbe congo
ReplyDeleteThere's no party like a Lagos party *singing

ReplyDeletehe should know, afterall it is him and his ilk that do owambe parties, is it me and ordinary lagosians?
ReplyDeleteLOL shine your eyes. I have a feeling all this grammar is prelude to taxation. Very soon wedding planners will start to add "plus tax" to their services because of the tax they'll have to pay to the state. Na to marry sharp sharp before it begins.
ReplyDeleteYourba people things. There are the ones causing inflation in lagos. The picture is priceless.lol.
ReplyDeletegross exaggeration!
ReplyDeleteSo wat should we do den?do u call this an achievement or?
ReplyDeleteMore tax for Lagosians

ReplyDeleteThe yorubas n o wa mbe.
ReplyDeleteAfter spending millions to have a parry,the next day they drink cassava flakes(garri) senseless yorubas,senseless Nigerians
ReplyDeleteDis man thinks we are fools!!!ur hands are stain,ur alawusa is full of curruption.he needs his brain checked.hisssssssssss
ReplyDeleteWell, that's d signature of a true son of Ile Ife. I'm not against throwing their parties but I kinda have a lil problem when they block the roads thereby causing an avoidable traffic. Thank God people use halls now unlike before
ReplyDeleteWhat is the source of his statistics?
ReplyDeleteTaking things out of context, really. If you were at the 'seminar' or even watched the news, you'd know that Fashola gave the instance of Parties just to show money-making opportunities that abound therein. He talked of the wine, small chops and aso-ebi. Pick 1 sector and flourish in it. Like he said at the seminar "the solution to unemployment is in three words: Made in Nigeria".
ReplyDeletehmmmmn na wa o, sum dey discriminate, sum dey abuse gov, abegi na u worst pass ffl @iam_likins
ReplyDeletehmmmmn na wa o, sum dey discriminate, sum dey abuse gov, abegi na u worst pass ffl @iam_likins

ReplyDeleteA lot of u people here have eyes but can't see.....una no dey read, his talking bout how. To create jobs olodo people...btw these eko pips wee party with there whole salary buy jeep and leave in k2 in one face me I slap u house,with 9 occupants,nd one pit latrin....lool
ReplyDeleteworst research results i have seen. you cant do an economic analysis based on one month worth of data. this is very poor.
ReplyDeleteif they spend 1.2 B on aso ebi and the total monthly is also 1.2B then what happened to drink and DJ. I dont have a PhD in Math but something does not add up.
Don't mind them! After, some of them will start blaming a particular ethnic group in Nigeria for their predicament. Your mates will be in the market or their business offices hustling while you will be partying. After partying you will go broke and turn around and claim that the hardworking ones are ritualists and robbers just to console urself. Ejigi akpata atufu, abu ogaranya.
ReplyDeleteI like what i read!
ReplyDeleteI live in Lagos, and upon cries of no money, partying still continues!
Ride on Baba Fash!
Ode lawon yi ke ,see one anon posting multiple comments. How much tax have u paid gan sef , govnor. Is giving statistics ,u dey poo. poo for pant u neva even know the theme of the event .... Choi.gullibity ati mass mumudom..... meanwhile egbon bee tie w ankara e ooo je semo pe pe. pe
ReplyDeleteIf a state goverment can spent 36 billion naira on partling. Den wats stopping FG spending 100b on education. What a selfish n corrupt country ar we
ReplyDeleteWhat now? He's gonna band party too?
ReplyDeleteTo all dose ppl sayin yorubas r foolish n senseless, u and ur entire tribe (frm d oldest to d youngest)r all senseless n r idiots. Whose business is it if d yorubas spend al their savings on parties? Afterall, u all com if u r invited. So, y d beef? I m sure by d time u ppl leav Lagos n go to Oyo, ondo, osun ekiti n ogun n see how yorubas spend on their parties, u all mite end up committin suicide on anoda tribe's way of life. N btw, if u r all fed up wif parties in Lagos, no b by force to stay in lagos. Y not pack ur miserable luggages bak to ur rotten villages? Personally, i think a tribe dat spends money partyin n feastin on rice, amala n ewedu is beta dan a tribe dat doesnt party but feasts n human beings. *tongue out*
ReplyDeleteso what should happen now fashola?? so if they work for their money and pay tax from their salary how does it bother you that they spend money to party? the tax in this Lagos is already too much so dnt even go there, (if it's what am thinking). All the money we are paying nko? shebi that ur LIRS man wetin be him name again wey dey dash all my friends the tax money that i work hard for. If they go to his office evelops piled up for thanks for coming. Meanwhile they are not working.
ReplyDeleteGov. is forgetting that the firms that produce the aso-ebi, foods and drinks consumed at these parties also contribute to the economy in terms of revenue and employment.
ReplyDeleteasoebi is our calling.
ReplyDeleteLinda y u no dey post my comment. Abi i thief ur thing.
ReplyDeleteAbeg post my comment after all took time to write u still no wan post am. No wahala God dey shaa.
Na for weekend parties some waka pass de see food chop for weekend o!!!!! Abeg Oga fash comot ur research for there oooo!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is why most Nigerians will never be wealthy and will still remain in abject poverty, most especially some ignorant people posting silly comments. You need not be at the event to realize that he gave an instance of parties in his speech just to show how much money is moving around in that economy and if you lazy and complaining ass would join the league and make yours legally. Wake up people and smell the coffee, no human being can please a whole state, he can only try. Now it is left for you to prepare, plan, open your eyes to opportunities and make good use of them while the sun is still shinning else you wont stop complaining for the rest of your life. What ever your hands find to do ( catering, event planning, baking, drinks, decorations, rentals, DJ, MC, cleaning, logistics, transportation etc), people do it with all credibility and integrity, then leave the rest to God and see results. It is only the works of your hands that would get you places, start doing something NOW!!!

This thing isn't new to me anymore. I mean they also have their rights to have a party at their own expense. As long as it is fair and Lagosians can benefit.

Now imagine how much pride would fill our hearts if U carried out such research on NEPA bills, School fees, Transportation spendings, medical bills, Tow-gate fees,bribing agberos/crooked officials, generators, deasel/fuel, rents, and STATE TAXES on everything!...and give clear and confirm-able details too. Then we would know what most of us pump MOST of our HARD-EARNED FUNDS on.
ReplyDeleteYou really had a lot of Free time to be able to do this Mr Governor, what do expect people to do to distract them from all the burden they feel when their Salaries never seem to meet up with Bills that are ever increasing?! Aren't you surprised that needed Therapist don't even exist in your State? how sane do you think the state of affairs make people feel? And who else do you think lavish cash excessively throwing parties apart from looting government officials or
"the System" supported Criminals who get their earnings by hook or Crook.
I, my family and most of my friends are no Party freaks, and we still have no intentions celebrating like money was toilet paper. & have never supported waste
.....However don't go Judging your people and Preaching we lack discipline, when your obviously not leading by example by facing the problems we actually need fixed!
How does this study translate to improvement in the political governance of the state? What I need to know is how the information gathered from this research can inform state policies so as to generate revenue and income which will be invested in public services!
ReplyDeletefashola is just a fool period
