Better we call for Lagos independence
#lagosneedsindepencence

LastSurvivor11:
And you forgot to mention who has the highest property or businesses in the same Lagos

IGBOSON1:


This is the main reason for creating this thread...to have another go at Igbos! See the instigating title....Lagos makes more than the entire south-east! As if they're not aware of the Nigerian political-economy that made this possible!

It's like some people don't mind being in a country rife with economic problems and social dislocation, just so long as they feel they're doing better than those 'pesky okoros' it's all good.....and they can go to bed, get tucked, in and drift off to sleep with a contented smile on their moronic faces!

The problem with your request is that a seaport requires access to sea.

Igbosmoker:
Lagos doesn't feed the nation. The "south south" does.

Have you forgotten Lagos was a capital of Nigeria for 40 years? All the infrastructure, ports, airports were concentrated on Lagos state.

Who is we?

Are you a shareholder?

Highest form of self delusion....

Better collect your L and come back to reality

kirkwood:
Revenue from toll gates. Who wouldnt make more if you collect N300 per car for each passage. There are 5 million cars in Lagos.

Let's even assume they feed the nation (whatever the hell that means), my query is: How does a state with such insanely high IGR find it so difficult to provide basic amenities to her citizenry? Even flood control has become exceptionally herculean...

The real question remains: Where do the trillions go to year in year out?

Lagos equally made more revenue than the other 5 south west state combine. From the report, SW total revenue is 877billion and that of lagos is 501billion, doing little mathematics 877.8-501.3=376.5 so south west should not celebrate, we all know why lagos revenue is high.

With what?
Oil?

I like this, indigbo by ewu.....

When u run away from home to develop other people's home, this is what u get ........

Ttipsy:
a region ravaged by war, had about 300b revenue while Lagos which was once the nations capital attracting FG attention till date is generating about 500b. with just a difference of 200b.. what so special about it??

forgiveness:


Maybe South South feeds the nation but it doesn't feed the SW because they are also oil producing region.
