Apart from Lagos, no SW state can match Rivers by any developmental index. Lagos is worthy of its accolades having developed for itself a model that works. But it is not a function of Yoruba magic but rather a collective effort of Nigerians in general.

Rivers, Delta, Bayelsa and AkwaIbom have the potential to get to the heights attained by Lagos, if not to even better it. Lagos has gotten enough of our commonwealth, she shouldn't unnecessarily get greedy.

No, evry tribes will enjoy Lagos not just the Yorubas .its just so annoying wen pple say shit and intentionally go against their host tradition. An australian Pm once warned d arabians to respect the culture and foundation of australia or get booted out of the country .its like that everywhere .I hope we focus more on our regions or state and stop relying on the centre .

An advice,I thonk d east should plan mor and develop a regional hub for bizz within their region .

Lying propagandist, you can continue your delusion...

RockHard:


You contradicted yourself by saying Lagis developed a model for itself and in another breathe saying it's not a function of Yoruba magic. Yoruba administrators are responsible for that 'magic model' you speak of. Lagos ceased from being a capital over two decades ago, and since then its administration has been firmly in the hands of Yorubas. Its prestige and acclaim since then rests on the shoulders of it Yoruba administrators who have done everything to breathe life into its abandoned infrastructure, urban renewal and phenomenal IGR increase.

Without Tinubu and his successors ingenuous and commendable creativity in fashioning out a developmental roadplan and creating sustainable models of development for the state, Lagos gdp and igr would be a shadow of what it is today. The potential may have always been there but it took these men's uncommon vision and innovation to harness that. There's nothing stopping the likes of Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers and indeed every other state/region from doing the same today with the right crop of leadership. We all saw what Akpabio was able to achieve in his state. Give the Yoruba administrators of Lagos their due credit and quit being a hypocrite.

No we won't leave it like that. I am not like others that do that. I've been using this moniker for more than 6yrs now. U don't know me

Ok don't leave it, but you are........

Try and hook up with unbiased and sincere elder from ur region .he will educate you on what u don't know and whr u making mistakes.

You lots should stop propagating lies with your hypocrisy and unstable nature. The combination of Tinubu and Fashola are no match to any of Igbos' Peter Obi or Chris Ngige of Anambra or Chime Sullivan of Enugu State or even the current governor of Anambra - Willie Obiano.

jamesversion:


You are foolish to think Yorubas developed Lagos. Lagos was the capital of Nigeria and was therefore developed by the Military regimes which were mostly Northerners. In essence, Northerners developed Lagos with oil proceeds from the ND.

Showcase the capital of another Yoruba state aside Lagos, let us see how developed it is. Foolish people.

RockHard:
Lol. Yeah. That's why all of una still wan die ontop Lagos matter. Just fvck off my mention. Your mental state is beyond redemption. Seek help FAST!

THE BEST INDUSTRIAL CLUSTER IN NIGERIA
"Nnewi people have already blaze the trail in the area of building the nation's economy through individual efforts, I have gone round to see the factories in the town and I can say with all sense of responsibilities that this is the best industrial cluster in Nigeria. People from other areas should come to Nnewi to learn how the industrialists here are doing it."

That's not what an Nnewi based industrist said about SE commerce and industry. I'll rather take his word than that of an uninformed a.b.o.ki.

"For Lagos State, more than 70% of the manufacturing concerns and major industries in the State are owned by the Igbos. If the Igbos were to stop paying tax in Lagos State, the IGR of Lagos State will reduce by over 60%. In contrast, Sir, go to the South East and look at the manufacturing concerns in Onitsha, Aba and Nnewi. Please don't forget those were areas ravaged by civil war a mere forty something years ago. The Igbos have certainly made tremendous progress but the Yoruba nation has regressed. I wish to state that this letter is not meant to whip up primordial considerations or ethnic sentiments but just to put things in proper perspective."

Let's a bit of politics .All southerners are not happy the way things r . The northerners knew given Tinubu a chance to control d centre .he will introduce some policies like regional integration whill favor the west and other southerners and to the detriment of their owm .I meant their fear.

They will only allow a westerner that has no tribal interest at heart to run d centre (like OBJ and whoever and same goes with th east and Other southerners ) to promote their own interest .

RockHard:

Why do you keep dishing out quotes by uninformed outsiders, when a son of the soil is saying otherwise?

Anyway, that's your cup of tea. This is my last exchange with you. From hereon if you quote me you are on your own.

I don't have a problem with that, leave Lagos for d original indigene to run things. It was a former federal capital which was developed by the sweat of all Nigerians. All tribes have a stalk in Lagos, after all its d Aworis that can claim Lagos

RockHard:


Guy, you are talking rubbish. You even went as far as lying to try to misinform people. I did a fact check of your claims about California's gdp contribution to the u.s economy compared to Lagos to Nigeria's and discovered that you don't even know what you're talking about. California's gdp is $2.5-trillion while the total U.S gdp is 16.7-trillion (so Cali merely represents/contributes 15% of America's gdp and not the 30+% you claimed). Lagos gdp is $131-billion while Nigeria's rebased gdp was $510-billion (meaning Lagos contributes atleast 25% of Nigeria's overall gdp). Therefore the premise of your argument doesn't even hold water.

But in any case, Lagos will be fine while all you haters can help yourself in the Lagoon.

Ahmadgani:


probably you did not read my post. you did not pay attention while your math teacher was busy teaching you simple arithmetic. 13% not 30%


Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in Nigeria
was worth 481.07 billion US dollars in 2015 which has declined by 2.06% between the month of may and September do the math, that is if you can.

by the end of august Lagos GDP stands at US$33,679. do the math.

and you lied that you carried out a research, just tell us that you flip through the pages of internet with the help of your favourite teacher Mr. Google. read what you like but don't be received by all u see on the internet.

peace

Lagos was not developed by the sweat of all Nigerians. This was Lagos between 1940 and 1950

As you can see, the port was already busy and running and was obviously not built with oyel money.

Yeah west ve well exposed,intelligent and classic beings than the east ,so also we ve touts and area boys than the east . We agree .

Only d easterners claims to be better than the westerners ,whil other tribes and othe nationals believed the westerners are more exposed (sages,sophistiated and the home of beaurecrats) than d easterners .
