One former ND state governor is still in jail for looting his state dry?

Another was sent to jail for looting his state dry and was later pardoned by his former deputy who either was part of the looting under his boss or just sat and looked the other way.

This same former deputy governor and later the main governor did not commissioned 1 single dog cage as the governor of his state and something he replicated as the president of Nigeria with wholesale looting and stealing and gross institutional incompetence.

Delta state today is the most indebted state in Nigeria with N700 billion debt, that's almost N300 billion more than Lagos state's debt, but we can see all over the place what Lagos state did with all their funds and debt, but we can not see 1 single thing Delta state did with decades of allocations, derivations IGRs and billions in NDDC funds.

Akpabio ran the richest state in Nigeria with less than 5 million people and even posted larger budgets than Lagos state, but at the end of his 8 year term, he commissioned less than 5 projects apart from the few roads and flyover.

1 cinema

1 library

1 football field

1 hospital

Not 1 single groundbreaking or futuristic projects like we see in Lagos state

While Lagos state with smaller budgets and lower budgets within the same period commissioned hundreds of projects...

Oil or no oil, that region is just too polluted with horrible leaders from top to bottom...

bro u av already nailed it no doubt. What they know to do with passion is to envy themselves. No tangible development in their village except envy other state as if their God fathers is d founder of lag. Till Jesus come lag will be best beautiful and economic base of Nigeria and Africa.

I inherited N636bn debt – Okowa

Addressing the state legislature, Okowa said: “A total monthly deduction of N4.60 billion will be made from our FAAC receipts with effect from this June through to March 2017, and thereafter N1.098 billion monthly until September 2018.

Can't read and comprehend ipob, is Okowa lying on himself and his state?

It ain't my fault people aren't interested in investing in your region.

I'm not going to start clamouring for a secessionist State or start blowing up Govt infrastructure like your kind......... rather I appreciate it and make efforts to benefit from its location near me....... e.g. buying property close to such a large investment ( Which i have already ).

Lagos was declared a colony on 5 March 1862. By 1872 Lagos was a cosmopolitan trading center, even if Nigeria divide today the status quo will still remain the same, Hausas, Igbos, Ijaws, Lebanese etc all have stakes in Lagos, dust your lazy ass do something for yourself and stop hoping on people properties, or your tribes men are ready to face those tribes I listed to be able to claim their properties

You guys will come online and be writing rubbish, Eko Atlantic is a private public project owned and been develop by Elias Saad and brothers from Lebanon, Elias Saad, Chairman of Eko Pearl Towers, Eko Atlantic development is being carried out as a Public–private partnership, with private companies and investors providing the funding, whilst Lagos State Government is a strategic partner, with the support of the Federal Government. The Contractors are China Communications Construction Group, a company that works in the field of marine dredging and landfill operation. Consultants are Royal Haskoning (traffic and transport expertise) and ar+h Architects. South Energyx Nigeria Ltd. a subsidiary of the Chagoury group was specifically created to undertake the development[/b]

EA is indeed a private project, but what's stopping rich states like the Delta states with less than 5 million population from thinking up and coming up with the same private investments and projects?

EA is a multi billion dollar project which goes directly into the Lagos state's economy with thousands of jobs across the board.

Sensible and responsible leaders drum up private investments to develop their states and create jobs for their people, it's their job and should be the job of your own village leaders who are too clueless to seek such investments hence you and your people constantly running to Lagos for jobs.

This is just the beginning, Lagos state is about to wittiness the largest economic boom in Africa. I see Lagos moving from the 5th largest economy in Africa to the 1st largest economy in Africa in less than 5 years starting with the largest single refinery in the world, the largest fertilizer plant in Africa, the largest petrochemical plant in the Africa, the largest Gas plant in Africa...

And with such great leaders Lagosians are blessed with, the sky is the limit for Lagos state.

Read more about Lagos colony

[b]Lagos Colony was a British colonial possession centred on the port of Lagos in what is now southern Nigeria. Lagos was annexed on 6 August 1861 under the threat of force by Commander Beddingfield of HMS Prometheus who was accompanied by the Acting British Consul, William McCoskry. (spelled "Docemo" in British documents) resisted the cession for 11 days while facing the threat of violence on Lagos and its people, but capitulated and signed the Lagos Treaty of Cession.[1] Lagos was declared a colony on 5 March 1862.[2] By 1872 Lagos was a cosmopolitan trading center with a population over 60,000.[3] In the aftermath of prolonged wars between the mainland Yoruba states, the colony established a protectorate over most of Yorubaland between 1890 and 1897.[4] The colony and protectorate was incorporated into Southern Nigeria in February 1906, and Lagos became the capital of the protectorate of Nigeria in January 1914.[2] Since then, Lagos has grown to become the largest city in West Africa, with an estimated metropolitan population of over 9,000,000 as of 2011.[/b]

[b]The earliest incarnation of Lagos was an Awori fishing community located on the series of islands and peninsula that form the modern state, The area was inhabited by families that claimed a semi-mythical ancestry from a figure called Olofin. The modern descendants of this figure are the contemporary nobility known as the Idejo or "white cap chiefs" of Lagos. In the 16th century, Lagos island was reputedly sacked by troops of the Oba of Benin during that kingdom's expansionary phase and became known as Eko. The monarchs of Lagos since then have claimed descent from the warrior Ashipa (who is alternately claimed to be a prince of Benin or an Awori freebooter loyal to the Benin throne), although the aristocracy or the Idejo remained Yoruba. Ashipa's son built his palace on Lagos Island, and his grandson moved the seat of government to the palace from the Iddo peninsula. In 1730 the Oba of Lagos invited Portuguese slave traders to the island, and soon a flourishing trade developed. In the first half of the 19th century the Yoruba hinterland was in a state of near-constant warfare due to internal conflicts and incursions from the northern and western neighbouring states. By now the fortified island of Lagos had become a major centre of the slave trade. The United Kingdom had abolished import of slaves to their colonies in 1807, and abolished slavery in all British territories in 1833. The British became increasingly active in suppressing the slave trade.[13] At the end of 1851 a naval expedition bombarded Lagos into submission,[14] deposed Oba Kosoko, installed Oba Akitoye (who was more amenable), and signed the Great Britain-Lagos treaty that made slavery illegal in Lagos on January 1, 1852. A few months later Louis Fraser from the Bight of Benin consulate was posted to the island as vice-Consul. The next year Lagos was upgraded to a full consulate with Benjamin Campbell being appointed as Consul. A Yoruba emigrant, the catechist James White, wrote in 1853 "By the taking of Lagos, England has performed an act which the grateful children of Africa shall long remember ... One of the principal roots of the slave trade is torn out of the soil".
Tensions between the new ruler, Akitoye, and supporters of the deposed Kosoko led to fighting in August 1853. An attempt by Kosoko himself to take the town was defeated, but Akitoye died suddenly on 2 September 1853, perhaps by poison. After consulting with the local chiefs, the consul declared Dosunmu (Docemo), the eldest son of Akitoye, the new Oba. With successive crises and interventions, the consulate evolved over the following years into a form of protectorate.[13] Lagos became a base from which the British would gradually extend their jurisdiction in the form of a protectorate over the hinterland. The process was driven by demands of trade and security rather than by any deliberate policy of expansion. The CMS Grammar School was founded in Lagos on 6 June 1859 by the Church Missionary Society, modelled on the CMS Grammar School in Freetown, Sierra Leone
Awories, Eegus,Benins Yoruba hinter land migrated to Lagos early, Hausa, Igbos and other tribes migrated late, It well documented we will remind you guys at the right time[/b]

There are many other investors in Lagos doing their thing without any noise or any problems with anybody. Only ibos are loud and extremely obnoxious about the little pennies they have in Lagos.

I guess his refinery also bigger than all Yoruba investments in Lagos grin

Thanks. But some minor corrections and update.
1) Ccecc was replaced by Dredging international since 2009.
2)Royal Haskoning are marine consultants. Initial design and conceptualization.
3)The property still belongs to chagoury group...though Saad is the MD for the Eko Pearl which is a sub project in the Eko City project.
