Lol.

Stark illiterate with mucus for brain matter. No wonder ya handle is "Southpole" cos ya head is stuck under ya crusty feet, you accursed m0ron (mods take note before you ban me cos he threw first shot loool).

Don't procreate and don't ever get involved in any business venture because you'll be broke faster than Usain Bolt. Just stick to jobs and saving for pension.

tbaba1234:


Lagos already has some of these things covered.

There are developing two ports.

You already mentioned Eko Atlantic

Lagos is constantly broadening its tax collection..

They are already doing all these...

This on the other hand has massive potential for the state on a different level..

emvico:
so lagos no get land again? or may be dem wan use idea to spy kebbi

Ileogbo:

No, u got it wrong..
Kebbi State is one of the highest producer of RICE now in the Country. Kebbi State now produces about 1.5millions MT of RICE per annum. Its good for them to partner Lagos for Financing and effectiveness and job creation.

southpole:


Don't run away from d question tell me why Lagos state govt should build a rice plant in Lagos when d commercial source of rice padding is thousands of miles located in d north.?

Shym3xx:


But that still doesn't negate the fact that you're correlating the business decision of a private investor with the business decision of a state. If you can't see that there's absolutely no correlation whatsoever between the two, then I can't help.

Lagos is pioneering primeval thought process and this is 2016. The fat guy just took Lagos 500 years backward with this nonsense.

YourNemesis:


Lagos is making itself food secure, how is that a bad thing?
The only grouse you have with this project is its LOCATION and not the fact that government is the entity pioneering it.
What then do you suggest? that the venture be started somewhere in Oyo, Osun or ogun states, would you be happy then? Or if further still you are against that, maybe LASG should subsidise and "help" local producers like the Ofada guyz in Ogun who are nowhere as inclined or large as the production in Kebbi. Either way, government wills till be involved.

Shym3xx:
All these stupid Yoruba fools who can't see beyond their nostrils and everything has to be "Us" vs. "red mud" people. You lot are the biggest problem with Yoruba people. Effing stark illiterates and lazy thinkers. The same lazy fvckers giving Yorubas a bad name everywhere.

I don't give a shyte about no red mud people when it comes to idiotic decision making. A bad/terrible decision is a A bad/terrible, period.

Shym3xx:


M0ron, where in my post did I ask Lagos to build a rice plant in Lagos?

Apart from having ya head stuck under ya crusty feet - you also lack reading and comprehension skills.

This is what happens when you get ya head smacked with a brick as a kid - it messes up the brain like CTE.

you are trully what people say about you thinking thru d anus that is why you cannot remember, people who think thru the brain remember things

Just run along.

Shym3xx:


What food is securing? Is Lagos a country? These people and amala logic.

Dude, you're yet to make one sensible point. I'm out.

YourNemesis:


I don't give an eff about red mud people either, but you are wrong on this one. It looks dicey, but it is't all that terrible when you think into it critically. You can try to be isolationist in policy, but at the end of the day, some 20% of your existence will still depend on others.
That is not to say that this same project can't begin in Ekiti or Ondo in 10 years time. Our SW businessmen have failed to key into a gaping opportunity, so don't start acting all surprised when government picks up the mantle of responsibility.

YourNemesis:
Governments can OWN businesses if done right, and why are you only siting failed examples of government run businesses from Nigeria? Lagos state has proven to be a shining star tat can do things right, and it is a very atypical Nigerian state. I think you will even agree with me tat the LASG has proven to be more administratively effective in certain respects than even the Federal government.There are several successful government run(owned) as well as sponsored franchises and ventures around the globe ESKOM in South Africa is government owned, Petrobras in Brazil, Several other examples in US, Canada, Australia and so forth.

QuotaSystem:
Dangote is building a Petro-chemical plant in Lagos (SW)...

Lagos is building a Rice Plant in Kebbi(NW)....

Meanwhile some people are bombing themselves back into the 19th century....and some others are sacrificing themselves to stop one Nigeria.

Diversification in action. The day will soon break.

YourNemesis:


It is a state within Nigeria that also runs a state economy.
What are you alluding to, or are you saying states can't/shouldn't become food secure?
When the start growing this food up north and start bringing it to lagos Warehouses by trucks or rail via Jebba (in future), and from there it starts getting distributed to other parts of Nigeria and West Africa, I hope you wouldn't still be here talking about Amala logic.

Shym3xx:


Brev, that post wasn't meant for you...it was meant for a next clown. He knows himself. A lot of these people are too carried away with nonsense that they've actually lost focus on what it means to be Yoruba. These are the same clowns who would support everything Buhari does blindly, even when the SW/Yoruba people are being shafted - just to spite "red mud" people. That's a terrible mentality to have and it's like cutting your nose to spite your face. They're the same people who don't see anything wrong with the manipulative land grazing bill. Etc. These clowns are useful idi.ots and are more or less enemies within.

The guy's existence is about what red mud people think and not actually what's best for Yoruba people. I do get involved in ethnic fights on here but there has to be a proper catalyst for it and I don't look at everything based on what other people think when it comes to positive decision making.

Lagos can always influence Yoruba business people to get involved with ventures like this one and help them to state-to-state dialogue. But the state has no business getting involved directly. Once you start getting involved in too many things - you won't focus on what you're meant to focus on. Focus on Lagos for now and maximise its potentials.

SS/SE are only clamouring fopr justice ...if you dont beg them now..by august the country will be in chaos watch and see , dare a say a failed state.

Shym3xx:


Based on how Nigeria is structured - it doesn't make any sense whatsoever, especially in this context. It's a waste of time.

The bureaucracy in running a state is tedious enough for states to start getting involved in all kinds of inter-state business. Focus on ya strengths and maximise what you can get out of them.

Where's the Lagos Stock Exchange? Shouldn't they be more focused on that, with all the industries in Lagos? Push for more concessions from the FG and model the state like London, New York, Paris, Hong Kong etc.. Trillions of dollars go through these cities daily from the financial sector alone. That's what Lagos should become.

villareal15:
Cool.But why not in Lagos?








Never mind,didn't read the post. Sorry Op

YourNemesis:


lol, who is the guy?
Anyways, You can't expect a group as big as Yorubas not to have some cankerworms. But that is the ay Nigeria has always been it isn;t a new thing - mutual suspicion between the three major groups has always been there, the funniest part is that the ELITES of Both YORUBAS and IGBOS
are always trying to outsmart each other in order to play second fiddle to the North, that is the fact. Don't be surprised if some of these people you are replying to on NL have political connections or are direct beneficiaries of the system.

lol, guy that thing is not called Lagos Stock exchange o... I don't know why lol... the buffoons are calling it Nigeria Stock Exchange.
I agree with you that Lagos should move towards being a service oriented economy, but when you say or think service, not everything is run on computer screens. There are behind scenes of a working complex economy. Warehousing, exporting, distribution etc. That is exactly what a commodity exchange does.
I think you are just looking at this in a linear mode, forgetting all the other branches of economics that can spring forth.

Shym3xx:


But you can't make progress in life when everything you do is based on what a next person thinks and not what's best for you. Hence whatever opinion I post is based on what I think is right.

Competition should be about keeping ya enemies guessing, while outsmarting/out-competing them and the ability to do that comes from maximising ya potentials - not what they think. I'm not a fan of stupidity - what's good is good, and what's bad is bad.

The North shouldn't even be bar and Yorubas are too talented/gifted to be playing 2nd fiddle to those people, especially Fulanis, who're the face of the North. These people never built a civilisation, till they embraced Jihad. So why should I, as a Yoruba person, play second fiddle to them? Never! I'm Ijebu and throughout history we never played 2nd fiddle to no one and we were neither defeated nor lorded over by anyone - till the Brits came and we lost a war to them. Eff the North - I speak based on the consciousness on my forebears.

calaway:


The crude oil for processing in dangote refinery will come from kebbi and sokoto oil..

the capital used for investment by lagos and kebbi from their monthly allocation comes from osun state and jigawa state oil.

SS/SE are only clamouring fopr justice ...if you dont beg them now..by august the country will be in chaos watch and see , dare a say a failed state.

YourNemesis:


lol.... You just described the CURSE of the South. I am also Ijebu, and the average Yoruba man knows this, but your leaders keep dragging you into undesirable positions. Even Akintola the Ogbomosho man allied with the North to best Awolowo the Ijebu-Remo man... no be new thing.

Nope. The crude oil to be refined will be from deposits in the SW (hence the location) and imported crude where necessary, you people have proven your regions are now too volatile for any substantial investment, talk less of Dangote's pipelines. The memory of his 8 trucks burnt by iPod protesters is fresh.

Lagos generates enough IGR to single handedly fund that investment in Kebbi without a penny from federal allocation, without being an eyelid, so you are just blowing hot air. Dangote doesn't need oil money to build one of the world's largest refineries in Lagos either.

On begging, you are right. We are begging you to continue bombing yourselves back to the dark ages and send companies and potential investors running to other parts of Nigeria. Even Erisco an Ibo man is currently building a tomato plant in Sokoto State.

Blow everything up. When you're done, face the SE.

9ja4show:


You are not making sense ,its better Lagos state buys the already prepared rice than to build factory that kebbi people will say they own someday!

Can't it work in lagos ? Answer that first
