I hope people can now see that SS remains the best and most developed region in Nigeria collectively.

Read everything and you'll see that SS total revenue dwarfed that of Lagos by over 300bn.

Hanks0000:
Almost like south west is the only existing part in Nigeria except for the noise makers from north...

Did you read the entire article? Read and you'll see that the SS had the highest revenue and had over 300bn more revenue than the SW.

Once again, the SS feeds Nigeria.

fergie001:

With what?
Oil?

That's why I said asides Oil....

NkayStory:



Oil sale proceeds was used to expand the existing tiny pre-independence port in Lagos to what it is now,enabling very large ships to berth with goods from all over the World..

Oil sale proceeds massively improved the Murtala Domestic and Intermational Airports...

All these and so much more including the third Mainland bridge came about because Lagos was the Capital of Nigeria till the 90s.

These necessitated a massive influx of people from all over,including expatriates..their businesses,technology and man-power in tow..

Secondly;
Having a Sea is not the be-it and end-all be cause Botswana is a land-locked nation with a GDP and per-Capta-income Nigeria can only dream about...dont even get me started on Benin Republic(who has Sea shores) and Botswana.

With enough political will,the River Niger can be dredged to accommodate large ships for imports and exports which is our forte.so it is not the end of the World for SE cos when this country breaks,we sure will not be using the stinky and chaotic shame called Lagos Sea-Port.

Therefore you arguements holds no water,replying you further is a waste of time.

The money/resources used to locate and generate oil came from where? From oil or what the rest of Nigeria generated from their natural resources?

What was Nigeria living on before oil?

Lagos was already a major commerce center before oil and before independence,

Industries in Lagos came about with the creation of industrial estates by Awolowo's western region before independence with Cocoa money, not oil.

You had a regional government and a premier just like Awolowo, what were they doing when Awolowo was building industrial estates, building the first TV, first skyscraper, first modern stadium and so?

SW produces only 6% and SS produces 92% so yes, SS feeds the entire nation including SW. produces

forgiveness:


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

Do you know that Onne seaport in PH has the highest throughput in Nigeria?
Even higher than apapa port? I guess you didn't Know that.

ivolt:

None of those can compete with Lagos port and you can't force ships to dock where they can't
be accommodated. When Ibom deep sea port large capacity is completed, then ships can dock
where it is closest to the owners of the goods.

15% in your dreams. Oga Ondo and the entire SW only produces 6%, don't try to twist facts.

forgiveness:


Oil makes 90% of our national budget. No doubt about that but SW produces 15% out of the total amount of oil production in Nigeria.

SW is only eating from its oil money.

Before crude oil, we (SS) fed the nation with our oil palm which the British documented properly so what exactly is your point?

schoolboij:


Take away the oil in the south south and see if it would be better than NE.

Lagos does, don't fight the fact. Years back, Southwest altogether has the highest revenue generation... Even till 2017

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

So it wasn't concentrated in Portharcout(SouthSouth)?
Why did North Central came distance fourth despite having Abuja as the F.C.T.?
Don't fight the fact, LAGOS FEEDS THE NATION

lomprico:
Give SE just 'one' sea port and carry out this survey after 2yrs.

Where is the sea in the SE, that will host the seaport??

Corrosiveman:
The way Nigeria is structured it's obvious

Lagos does not belong to the Yoruba. Oba of Lagos.

You are right. It belongs to the Congolese, and the Japanese. Onye iberibe. .

Midas01:
15% in your dreams. Oga Ondo and the entire SW only produces 6%, don't try to twist facts.

Ondo state produces 12% alone. Go and do your findings.

Midas01:
SW produces only 6% and SS produces 92% so yes, SS feeds the entire nation including SW. produces

South South produces 80%. Fact.

laudate:

Gully erosion is mapping out. It will shock you when it happens. You wake one day and see land parted and in middle is Biafran sea. It will bewilder you when it comes to fruition!

veesion:
The seaports they are afraid to develop in the east
I tell people this country cannot excel with such level of injustice
It's not possible
With all that one would expect them to be light years ahead but not nothing to show for it.
The state instead is 80% slum,and I find it hard to understand why,but it's more or less karma.

Where is the sea, in the Southeast?? How can a seaport be sited where there is no direct outlet to the sea??

Philistine:

Are you ok. The sea in Lagos is not owned by the FG, but by Lagos State. So what do u mean by federal govt seaport?

Seaports are on the exclusive legislative list, which means that the Apapa sea port and Tin Can Island sea port are exclusively owned by the federal government, and not the state govt.

Midas01:
Before crude oil, we (SS) fed the nation with our oil palm which the British documented properly so what exactly is your point?

Every part of the south is reputed with oil palm. Lagos seaport predates Nigeria itself. The Lagos seaport provides access for exportation of oil palm. Lagos generates more than it receives from Nigeria.

Midas01:
Do you know that Onne seaport in PH has the highest throughput in Nigeria?
Even higher than apapa port? I guess you didn't Know that.

Don't mind those clowns. They keep shouting about the ports in Lagos, and ignore the major port in the SS like Onne port, which is closer to the SE. The Onne port has been functional and thriving for many years now, but they don't like talking about it.

laudate:

Seaports are on the exclusive legislative list, which means that the Apapa sea port and Tin Can Island sea port are exclusively owned by the federal government, and not the state govt.

The oil in the niger delta is on the exclusive list too.

kunmiiii:


The emboldened proves compos mentis has alluded you far too long, for you to specifically single out how each tribe interject or weigh in the economy, can you have a thriving economy without the propitious and conducive environment the state government has provided under the tutelage of Jagaban himself!

Lagos was already the biggest economy long before your jagaban enterer university.
The brits developed it and used it to export our raw material to Britain.

Jagaban indeed. Deluded clowns.

First of all,
The development of Oil did not come from you yorubas or any other person...The Royal Dutch were the first to explore for oil wuth their equipments from Europe...You lots were/are mere lazy Oil-proceeds rent-takers..

Oil companies companies pay the lazy Nigerian Governments RENTS to explore for Oil,you have nothing to do with the exploration and sale internationally

Second of all,
Nigetia was living on prroceeds from Palm-Oil in the East,Cocoa in the West and Groundnut sales from the North..

Industries in Lagos were not created by Awolowo,you liar!...The industries were as a result of Lagos being the capital same as other third-World countries especially Africa

....Headquaters of Internatiomal companies as well as Oil companues were in Lagos,you are talking about Awolowo's industries

Federal Ministries,Embassies of every single country we have diplomatic relatiions with were in Lagos...Investments from abroad were in Lagos being the country's capital so which crappy Awolowo industries which clearly didnt translate itself in Ibadan or other SW mushroom towns are you talking about?..

You lots latest plans to rewrite history will never fly...not by a lomg shot!!!

You are too small to want deceitfully attribute the rise of Lagos to awolowo..too small.

Going back and forth with your kind is a waste of time.

NkayStory:



You are wrong,Abacha did.

IBB did hurriedly in 1991 after the aborted devastating 'orkar coup' in april 1990, he was visibly shaken and declared after he survived: 'we are not only in govt but also in power'. I attended the movement to Abuja. And still have the brochure. I will look for it later and give a precise date.

You can say it over again.

That's the main point.
What do they have to show for all these noise,in their personal lives, families, community?
It's so absurd.
Yesterday was world population day. Today Kano state is still more populated than Lagos and has more LGAs than Lagos. That's after parts of 2 states were carved outta same Kano state but these bunch of dopemus would rather be interested in Ogbonna and his 2by2 spare parts shop.

Nigerians are horribly gullible people

You don't know nada. If ,say Kano or Sokoto was located were present Onitsha is located,govt would've done seeious dredging to build seaport.

Hatred and jealousy for a people will not allow small minds like you see beyond your nose.

Can you listen to yourself? Onitsha has a river port, but you want govt to transform it into a seaport by dredging. How is that going to be possible? Does a river automatically turn into a sea, after dredging? Chai! Do you know how silly your theory sounds?

What is the use of listing SE on the report? I dont see a need beside just to embarass the region as a zero-contributor to national wealth.
