Very valid submission there comrade.

I once told someone that with the money Lagos state has been generating for over two decades now, there shouldn't be any undeveloped part of Lagos by now.

The infrastructural deficits fall short of the so called IGR and not the other way around.

That is, the IGR generated in the past 2 decades should have been enough to ensure all parts of Lagos are developed.

It's a very small state for crying out loud.
The smallest state in Nigeria, I think.

The money is with Bola Tinubu & his APC Bandits, the greatest pilferers of state funds turned personal funds in the history of Nigeria, even greater than Ali Baba himself, Chief Obafemi Awolowo & Action Group their mentors.

ogododo:

Na so now, Calabar, Warri, Once ports no de function
Most goods no suppose reach Lagos at all, but we dey myopic and selfish.

no be only ports dey open place na. Shey everybody na importer and exporter
There's plenty infrastructures to spread na.
If possible they should rotate FCT occasionally and
take it back to Abuja after all the regions have relatively developed.

sapele914:
Yet they call Jagaban & his APC robber barons the Messiah of our beloved Lagos State?

I dont blame the thieves that benefit from Jagaban, human selfishness.....not nice but we understand their position. Na d suffer head people wey no benefit anything still dey follow blindly i weak for...... Jagaban dominate ur father, Jagaban dun perfect system wey go make him children dominate u, dey still dey support system wey go make Jagaban grandchildren dominate their grandchildren.....

Work on one port, warri port, Calabar port, akwa ibom port and others should be hastened and should be made to handle consumer goods as well not just oil and gas


It would go a long way

Islandlady:
They should send some certain people back to their region, so there will be more than enough space

I did not call any region name!!!

On a saner note the industrialization and urbanization in that place is alarming

You want yeebos to eat you up.

tunapawizzy:

YOu are very correct...I wonder why so many people do not see this OR just choose not to see this...The leaders and owners of Lagos are focused on politics, not governance......Lagos generates between 40 and 50billion naira every month(inflated projects not included)......people need to understand the kind of infrastructure jjust 5 billion naira can build to understand what is happening...right now the whole of Lagos should at worst be a construction site

Many people never understand, how gofarment dey cheat dem.

If ports dey operate for where most of de goods dey needed; roads no go dry quick spoil. Access to facilities like ports dey bring rapid development and decongest.

Calabar been 1st headquarters of Nigeria, u can still see de effects.

BloomingDale:


They should try and open up other regions, not sending anyone back. If you support one Nigeria, deal with it.

How many times would they open up other regions, onne ports, warri port, and other ports in the South South are working. So who would you blame that cargo ships are obsessed with Lagos ports

Common wealth like what and what exactly?? pls Be factual. Was it FG that brought Dangote to Lagos, or was it FG that is building Lekki deep Seaport or is it FG that is building Eko Atlantic City? Is it FG that is building Imota Rice Mill?

Or should LASG not industrialize her state since others choose to b dubious with stupid leaders?

U people will call us Tinubu slave but don't know what we've gained from Tinubu..

Did GEJ not preside the country and why didn't he work on Other Southern Seaport if u feel SW is the one sabotaging other seaport, rubbish falacy. [/quote)oga everything in lagos was built with federal oil money,apapa sea port,tin can sea port,third mainland Bridge Carter Bridge,ikoyi vi ,flat 1004,oshodi apapa express way,ikorodu Road ,muritala Mohammed Airport,festec, national stadium, national theatre, Tafawa balewa Square, trade fair complex ,I can go on from now till tomorrow ,tomorrow indigenes of Abuja claim they built Abuja with cow money

They should send the chestbeaters back to their region. They said Tinubu owns Lagos and has run it into the ground. So they won’t mind.

streetsoldier1:
That Lekki is ,45 mins okada ride to Ondo state, but the govt of Ondo and Ogun are not smart enough to tap into that to develop their region. You can live in ondo and work in Lagos, Arive in Less than an hour. They should build the road network to accelerate development in that place. Real estates can grow there, people can build better houses with lawns instead of the choking kinda accomodation obtainable here in Lagos. Our mumu never do

I tell you, this particular railway network should be used as a driver to link all South West states to Lagos if Yoruba governors know what they are doing.

You make a whole lot of sense in your post, but stop attributing the development in Lagos to one man, Tinubu

No government, from OBJ to Buhari has taken the issue of very rapid population growth seriously.

Though the rate has slowed, it is not by much. It's only the middle class that limit children to 2 or at most 3. In the South, the married poor seem bent on having 5 or 6 kids per woman. In the North, it's 7 or more. This can't continue.

Already the country is fraying because of burgeoning growth. The fights between farmers and murderous herdsmen is partly fuelled by less free pasture for their cattle to graze on due to expansion of farmlands.

Nigeria can cut its population growth rate to about 1 5% or even less. India and Indonesia could teach Nigeria a thing or 2 in this area.

Yes, every leader contributed. But it all comes down to the leadership and decision making of one man, Tinubu. No matter how much it chokes you to say it. It’s the truth, and the truth must be stated.

Cataq:
Lagos. The smallest state by land mass yet the second most populated in the country.

Lagos is the most populated

Tinubu is far more of a burden to Lagos than any solution. Lagos state does not need anybody to gag it as godfather. Lagos is the most spontaneous and self sustaining state in Nigeria. Stop all this nonsense about one man built Lagos. Lagos state made Tinubu, not the other way round.

Not at all. if Tinubu was more of a burden, why is it far and away the best performing state in the country instead of the FCT? Nearly 2 decades later and no state comes close. But Tinubu is holding the state back right? No sane person will believe that garbage. Of all the oil in the SS, all the focus FCT gets, no state comes close, and yet you say Tinubu is holding Lagos back, and the other governors are what? Pushing their states forward? Please get sense.

It is you that need a proper sense and orientation. A state where an elected governor by the people could not complete his second term because of a godfather who felt the state was fast slipping away from him grasp. Take all Nigerian ports out of Lagos, then you will realize that Lagos is nothing. Tinubu did not build Lagos. The slavery mentality of people like you is what is cheapening away Lagos to charlattans like Tinubu. How has his presence or existence benefited a common man in Lagos, is Tinubu a technocrat or architect needed for the city planning? You need to get down from your slave cart and think like a human

This is what I don't really understand.

How is Yoruba sabotaging the seaport and intl airport of other regions?

Is Yoruba region that influential?
I don't think so.

Also remember that these other ports were once functioning. What happened? Why did they suddenly stop functioning?

Jonathan was President for 5 years. Why didn't he make any move to accelerate development of the ports in SS/SE?

Udom Emmanuel of Akwa Ibom is developing Ibom deep sea port. Did Yoruba stop him? Even if they want to stop him, how will they go about it?

Obiano constructed international airport in Anambra. Did Yoruba stop him?

Guy stop all these yama yama jargons of SW stopping other regions from progressing. Na lie.

No mind the stupid people jare....dem no disturb their governors to give them what they need but to blame other people....dem no even dey tackle Ikpeazu wey don run abia state down....I hate when I hear those words from my own people sounding very uneducated

Lol. I think it takes time for a newly built airport to be used for intl flight.
They need to assess its performance within Nigeria first before approving it for international flight operations.

No malice there at all.

Just standard procedure.
