All kinds of projects are coming up in Lagos.







Majority of the projetcs have ZERO federal input. From urban rail networks, to world class bus terminals, to BRT systems, to entire new metropolises like Eko Atlantic.

If Lagos can do all this stuff without seceding from Nigeria, why can't OnItsha?

Why can't Onitsha build an 'Eko Atantic' of the East?

If all the money spent by IPOB in its dumb agitation was used for attracting major investments to the East, by now the entire East would have been a construction site.

Just like Lagos. angry

Lagos was Nigeria's capital for so many years. Lagos was developed over these many years with Niger delta and Igbo oil money. While ports, bridges, cultural centers, Roads, Airports, Hotels, Housing estates, etc, were built in Lagos with this same oil money by successive governments, Onitsha was ignored and starved of the slightest federal investment. What anyone will see in Onitsha today is the hard work and ingenuity of the Igbo man.

This here is an attempt to sow seeds of discord between Igbos and their Yoruba brothers. Your antic is dead on arrival as these two great nations can no longer be divided by you fulani snivelling, wannabe manipulators.

Bro stop deceiving yourself.... Lagos as got its status pre-independent even before amalgamation of southern and northern Nigeria....it is the geographical area that favoured Lagos above other states....

South East is free to secede but they should limit the map within their landlocked five states.

Better to be landlocked and in control of your destiny than to be un Nigeria that is poverty capital of the world despite all its coastline

Get sense. Do you know that Lagos is what it is because it was capital of Nigeria for over 70 years and enjoyed massive government presence and support?

You want to compare it with Onitsha, a city that Igbos built with their sweat, and little or no government help?

Get sense before you open useless threads like this.

Lagos was a federal capital for decades and is still Nigeria's business capital.

Ontisha was never a capital at all.

Onitsha is not even a capital but a small city.....but that's not my concern.... But remove sea port from Lagos and tell me what it can do again?
what kind of logic is this? Yorubas are largely coastal dwellers. How u goin to remove a sea port! And for ur info, the largest and deepest marine in western Africa is not even in Lagos but ONDO state!

Isn't this a senseless comment remove Onitcha from whatever hell it is n part of igbo can match ordinary Ajah. You Sha can lie Ajah was developed after the capital was moved from Lagos. Small time Eko Atlantic will be operational n we will listen to the new claim from Igbo on how gas money was use to develop it because it was the state capital.

How you Igbos deride your pathetic soul in extreme foolishness is simply beyond me.

It seems Yoruba land starts and ends in lagos state.

Let's start with Ilupeju to shut your igbo father up till eternity. You can rot in hell with your 5K


I said Yoruba land and you are shouting Ilupeju.

Lagos state is not Yorubaland. Name any of YORUBA land (OYO, OSUN, EKITI, part of ONDO and OGUN) that's more developed than ONITSHA
