It's not always believing but being realistic, there are more slums in Lagos than Anambra, slum dipicts poverty and lack.

Take a trip round these slums and tell me what you see. Stop being sentimental and face reality
op,I'm Yoruba but I am not always biased. I don't know about other Yoruba States than Lagos and Kwara. But I can say that poverty is more prevalent in Lagos than any state in Nigeria,also,the standard of living is high and most people that earn averagely spend it,they live from hand to mouth,the poor and destitute live in slums,there is a saying in Yoruba which says "Owo Eko,Eko lon gbe" which means that any money you make in Lagos lives at Lagos,you can't have savings,make money in Lagos and bring the money down to your village,you would spend it at Lagos. a lot of people that are balling at Lagos are into rituals,crime,etc. about Kwara,Kwara is still easier to live in than Lagos because the standard of living is low and you live in decent apartments . the highest apartments for rent in Kwara is around 500k per apartment or low per year in GRA which is the same area people like Saraki,Tunde Idiagbon,Adisa,Shiaba Lafiaji and many leaders in Ilorin live. I lived in GRA for 4 years when I was in secondary school and it's a nice area and you can even rent a room for around 100k or lower per year. There are many places in Ilorin that are as nice too. there is no segregation like it is in Lagos,even my mechanic lives in GRA,its not like some over hyped places in Lagos like Banana island where only a rich few can live in. Lagos has too many poor and destitute people and has many rich people as well

Oga, how many states have you lived in apart from Lagos and Kwara that led you to conclude that "poverty is more prevalent in Lagos than any state in Nigeria?" Have you lived in Kogi, Benue, Zamfara or Sokoto, before? Tell us, o! shocked Before you can come to that conclusion that poverty is more in Lagos than any of the other 36 states in Nigeria, you must have lived in many different places within the country. undecided

You also said: "a lot of people that are balling at Lagos are into rituals,crime,etc". sad How many people exactly do you know in Lagos that are into crime?? Lagos has over 15 million people residing within the state, so did you do a survey to arrive at this conclusion? I do not deny that there are criminal elements in Lagos. Heck, everyone cannot be a saint! But I still know many straight forward businessmen who do clean legit business, from catering supplies to construction, real estate, engineering, Infotech consultancy, diesel sales, clothes designing, auto garage maintenance, corporate training, agro-allied processing, fish farming etc., and are earning a successful living from it. So please speak for yourself, o! If you only know fraudsters and ritual killers, then you need to check yourself to ask why this is so. undecided

Na wa for you, o! shocked When you were listing out Orile, Agege, Ajegunle, Ijora Badia, Bariga, Shomolu, Okokomaiko etc, you forgot to tell everyone that the largest number of residents in those places come from the Southeast and South-South, with some Northerners thrown into the mix, especially in Ilasa. sad

If you had included areas like Ikoyi, Victoria Island, Lekki, Ogudu, Magodo, Ikeja GRA, Apapa GRA, old Yaba, Gbagada, Surulere, Alaka, Ilupeju, Palmgrove Housing Estate, Obanikoro, Onikan, Ire Akari, Ajao Estate etc, then everyone would have felt you were trying to present a balanced picture, instead of the biased, jaundiced view you are propagating here. Anyway, I don't blame you.... you were obviously raised in those slums, that is why you are so familiar with them. undecided

For your information, people in Lagos do criticise and attack the LASG. Where were you when Ebun Adegboruwa took LASG to court for tolling Lekki-Epe expressway and Lekki-Ikoyi bridge? Where were you when Eko Hotel and other business owners took LASG to court over the imposition of sales tax and VAT? Do you know how many lawsuits against the LASG are currently in the law courts? The difference is that the LASG authorities have performed relatively well in comparison to other state govts, and that is why the criticism is not as loud as those of other states. Go figure! sad

Tomorrow now, if they tell you Igbos are more than Yorubas in Lagos,you will be the first to cry foul...all the places you listed are still dominated by Igbo's residence, then add the places the op listed which you as well in your words claim are also dominated by people from the se and ss. If Igbo/ss dominate these areas, where then do yorubas dominate.

We still have festac,amuwo odofin,satellite town,okota, ejigbo, buknor, mile 2, apapa, maza maza,vox, okoko, gbagada, ajao estate, igando, isherin ...all this places are Igbo dominated. Am sure you know that too.

The Igbos only dominate the slums and ghettos of Lagos. undecided There are several other districts still remaining in Lagos, where the Igbo do not have any significant presence, to speak of. You chaps are so fond of Lagos, that you refuse to develop your areas in the SE before running to Lagos. It is okay. Everyone understands that many of you cannot make a headway in life, unless you come to Lagos. That is the way it has been written.

I suggest its better to do more research on that..personally, I won't speak for anambra but as someone who grew up in the east generally(port Harcourt to be specific) I can confidently tell you that south east has the highest concentration of multistorey residential building if not in sub Saharan Africa, then west Africa.,with Anambra,Enugu and Abia leading the park.

This is Onitsha in anambra

It is common knowledge that having a high population density with limited land space, people will naturally develop their properties intensively. Similar pattern has been adopted even in Lagos especially in Igbo dominated areas of lagos and even outside Igbo dominated areas, if you check most landlords who owns most of the multi storey buildings,they are usually Igbos. A developmental practice they imported from the east.

In fact,some Yoruba developers will tell you igbos taught us how to build storey buildings. And the new practice now in the absence of space/land. Some igbos go into agreement with stubborn Yoruba landlords who refuse to sell their house for redevelopment. The igbos go into agreement with them to let them fall the old house, rebuild it to multistorey, afterwards the down floor or topmost floor is given to the Yoruba landlord as the cos of land. Hence the Yoruba landlord has no say on the other stories, in the building.

Am a practitioner in the estate management and development field and also studied estate management. So yes, I can speak with authority on such issues.
