Attimes I wonder if other regions eg. South East would what Yorubas allow in Lagos if they had the ports instead..

Yorubas are asleep seriously.

Decongest Lagos port, a man from SE or SS will say No. I hope one day we'll wake up from our slumber.

Alariiwo:


You're right.. Lagos is giving so much, yet getting nothing in return.

If you can recall, a bill was moved to grant Lagos a special status with similar privileges Rivers and the likes get.. But as expected, the SE. leaders and their senators kicked against it.

Their vague arguement then was that a landlocked Abia or Anambra without ports or pressure must get Special status grant too should Lagos that suffer all the burden get.

They were less bothered about the pressure but concerned about sharing formula.

why do you hate igbos so much?

Alariiwo:


To claim ownership of the State maybe..

It took wisdom from a Northerner to move capital away from Lagos. Left for SE and SS, they don't mind choking Lagos and Lagosians to death all in the name of one Nigeria.

Probably more than you will ever see in your lifetime.

Rich people don't brag. Only poor dimwits like you do.

Now see yourself out of my mentions.

Guestlander:


You are a complete idiot. Brag about what? You asked a question and I gave you the answer. Are you completely retarded? Do you have issues with comprehension?

A failed City...

Lagos is a crisis on the nation's morality. A typical example of how greed and gluttony can lead to the constipation of a city. A nation with over fifteen thousand miles of coastal land and yet must endure the congestion of containers and tankers queued up to pick up their consignments from an overwhelmed wharf in Apapa.

Clogging the city, they besiege the bridges, streets, highways, in dozens of kilometers of logjam. From Lagos-Ibadan express, to Ijora-Seme axis, to costain-Western Avenue, to Eko Bridge heading towards Epe. The queues stretch all the way to Shagamu, through Berger and through Ibafo. They cause untold human carnage in their wake. And all this because a certain class of humans must "eat" all the taxes and revenues "alone".

Dear Lagosians, you are running a hectic and abnormal schedule that puts the question mark on your life expectancy. You have to understand this, the government has to understand as well, that this is not how to run a city. Therefore they should revert this current template and proceed towards development with a human face... - Sailor 20/7/18

We have to come together as a Nation and see how we have been killing ourselves by ourselves just because we want to ensure some people do not rise to their potential.

selemempe:
are u for real? Se and Ss already have the ports...the govt of eastern region built 3 ports in the east...but govt is killing them delibrately. We are asking that u guys do the right thing and decongest lagos...by allowing other cities with potential to grow.

Will the yoro folks bear wat niger delta minorities have borne if u guys have all that oil?

Why will a man from SE or Ss say no about decongesting lagos when thats wat we have been praying for

Continue calling Igbos while Lagos is gradually dying. No sane person now wants to live in Lagos except the few diplomats and rich ones that stay on the island. The rest of the urban jungle is collapsing under its own weight. You guys thought by keeping everything in Lagos, you are suffering others but alas, you ended up cutting your nose to spite your face. Thank God I left that jungle years back. You guys are all living a Hobbesian lifestyle with attendant short, brutish and nasty living. I just they pity you all in that sh!thole

resurgent2019:


Stop with the bigotry na. Don’t you get tired. I am Yoruba and I think the Lagos port should be decongested by opening up eastern ports. And I haven’t seen any igbo Congress man against it.

Alariiwo:


SE had their fair share in the Senate, producing the highest number of Senate Presidents in history.
They had their fair share under Obasanjo up till GEJ and even in PMB's govt. they still hold relevent posts.

Why hasn't anyone of done a single thing in that regard?
You don't expect Yorubas to keep carrying Igbo cross in Nigeria.. do you??

Amberon11:
I didn't read past the first line of your thrash.

Nigga, I'm done indulging you.

Anambra is not landlocked...it has onitsha river port.

2ndly lagos is a state sitting on the progress of other states and u want us to add insult to the injury by further granting it special priviledges.

Why would a company like shell drill oil from ND but have its head office in lagos where it pays corporate tax?

Why would a trader in upper iweka have to go all the way to lagos to clear his container when onitsha has a river port? Paris and london are 2 biggest cities in the world...yet they are not close to the sea. They rely on rivers that run through it.

Why would i have to go to lagos or abuja to travel abroad when enugu has an international airport...all govt needs to do is complete it and attract air lines to it.

If lagos ever gets special status, then we are doomed in this country.

P.s we lost our cities to the war yet awolowo who was vp after the war never saw the need to start a south east development project

Guestlander:


That's right. You need to scram.

Alariiwo:


Landlocked means no access to Atlantic ocean that connects Africa with the rest of the World.

Noone is talking about river here. Even Borno has river and is classified as landlocked.

return to the east....dammit.....we are tired of una....

At the core of your outburst is emotionality and an unwillingness to face facts or even educate yourself,

You repeat this all the time aabout oil companies headquarters.


IT IS NONSENSE.

Oil companies or any other company in Nigeria by CONSTITUTION pay corporate tax to the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
This is repeated so many times and you do not bother to check yet you claaim you went to school

It does not matter where the headquarters of a company is the corporate tax is paid to the FG


How is Lagos sitting on other states? That sounds like a Nollywood theme. A successful Nigeria footballer is sitttting on the progress of his brothers by stealing their luck.
I really would like to know how Lagoos state is sitting on the Progress of others? Did Davido stop you releasing album

Is it Lagosians that lined the streets to celebrate the return of Ibori.

If you are old enough to remember Nigeria from 1984-1999 when Buhari Took over until Abdusalam handed over you will appreciate what Tinubu has done

Lagos is not holding anyone back please stop that sentiment
