pazienza: You keep making reference to what cities look like. Does Atlanta 'look' like New York or does Los Angeles 'look' like Austin. Each city is allowed to have its own character. Without a doubt, immigrants have contributed to the growth of Lagos but to suggest that Lagos is 'successful' because of immigrants is mischievous. You folk, lazily refer to Lagos State as the former Capital but Lagos State was never the Capital. What was provided in Lagos that wasn't provided in other states? Lagos had a major seaport before the Brits arrived. Lagos provides an environment that enable people to get on in life. How many immigrants in Lagos arrived Lagos and were able to lease properties immediately let alone owning their own homes? There are many Nigerians who cant even visit their home states without fearing being kidnapped or bombed. Lagos will survive without immigrants. 2 Likes 1 Share |

emmysoftyou: The OP stated that the Portuguese 'owned' Lagos. Hence my question to him to provide 1. The dates when the Portuguese owned Lagos 2. The Portuguese administrators of Lagos. We know the names of the British administrators such as Freeman, Maloney, Glover. Why can't the dude provide the names of the Portuguese administrators? 3 Likes |

Katsumoto: Was Lagos better than other coastal West African cities like Accra,Abidjan, Bissau, Etc before the creation of Nigeria? Is Lagos the only coastal part of Yorubaland? Why are the rest of the coastal Yorubaland not like Lagos. Los Angeles, San Francisco, Atlanta,etc, they don't look alike, but they all have features of modern city, and similar planning, such that if anything should happen to their civilization, any body studying the ruins of those cities can't miss the similarities, which will indicate they were all built by same people, the Caucasians! Lagos have no other similar city like it in the whole of Yorubaland! And you want to convince me that it was built by the same people that built Oshogbo and Ibadan? Awo couldn't turn his Ibadan capital to a modern city, but he somehow miraculously turned Lagos to a modern city, you need to try harder. Lagos is what it is today, because of the immigrants, both the Yoruba immigrants and the non Yoruba ones. 1 Like |

Of course, Lagos will survive Nigerian break up, but it will never remain same again. It will lose the monopoly of sea port it currently enjoys, with the resultant chain reactions that will set in with it. Each new emerging countries will seek to have their own sea port, Lagos will lose part of it's IGR. There will equally be a population shift, with Lagos real estate business going down the drain as non indigenes move to their new countries. |

Katsumoto: He lacks the mental capacity for this discuss. It's symptomatic of their character. They just assume that all other society that exist, based on their parochial attitudes, must follow their defined boundaries |

Katsumoto:bro,is that statement not contradicting?if no.. Lagos or any other states in nigeria cannot survives or be successful on its own without other immigrant cos it s even immigrants that makes a place or city more successful. Without foreigners like ndiigbos,hausas and ijaws or few white men called immigrant,how do yu think lagos will be successful without exchanging lucrative ideas,development ideas and technological ideas from these immigrant? Absence of foreign investor will slow the success of lagos.. Except I don't understand or know what yu mean by being successful and the latter growth. No man is an island in this world,yu need to mingle and tangle before yu become successful. |

emmysoftyou: No it is not contradictory. Let me explain. Suppose the GDP of Lagos without immigrants is $100 but with immigrants, the GDP is $130. So the growth attributable to immigrants is $30; so do we say because of $30, Lagos wouldn't be successful? The thing about migration is that economic migrants move to economically viable places. And there was migration to Lagos from the Yoruba areas even before the Brits arrived. Mind you, there were no states back. There are many chinese and indian inventors in the US but little to none American inventors in China & India. Most of these Chinese & Indian inventors are successful because the US environment was to their advantage but they don't have these advantages in China & India. Do we say China & India are contributing to the US economy? Why are there more successful Chinese & Indian inventors in the US than in China & India? Also, there are two kinds of immigrants 1. Those who are looking for jobs 2. Those with cash and looking to invest (Think Russians in London) Many migrants to Lagos are in group 1. So why do these group of migrants always overstate their importance to the Lagos economy? Even Russians who have a lot of liquid assets in London don't think the London economy would collapse without them. 1 Like 1 Share |
