In My Opinion, I Don't Think Lagos Has Progressed Since 1991. by FatherOfJesus: 1:01pm On Jun 24, 2022
Anybody who thinks Lagos is doing well is not being sincere. On what basis are you making that inference?

The fact that Lagos was capital city for more than 50years and has never surpassed the infrastructural feat it achieved since 1991 until date?

Or the fact that Lagos still doesn't have a standard waste management system, public water and transportational infrastructure?

Look, Lagos is not growing, I cannot see any substantial developmental progress since 1991, TBH. Only Fashola tried to make some progress happen.

People ask then why is everyone trooping to Lagos?
Why is Lagos the commercial capital?
The answer is simple, Nigeria's economy is hugely dependent on importation, which means that every business wants access to the sea. The fact that apapa and tincan seaports are the only functioning seaports in Nigeria means that Businessws will always choose Lagos to cut of cost of logistics.
Logistics is crazy in Nigeria, in my company, it's cost us more to transport our products from Apapa port to our warehouse in Ibeju-Lekki than transporting them from Taiwan to Apapa port. It's crazy, every business owner knows this. Imagine if our warehouse is in onitsha.
Open up other seaports in Warri, Calabar, onne and port Harcourt, you will see Lagos economy shrink, businesses will spread out other parts of the country.

All these is making it seem like Lagos is working but it's not. The amount Lagos government generate doesn't commensurate with the kind of infrastructure on ground. They are basking on the effect of business influx to create a charade that Lagos is working. A small city in South Africa that doesn't have as much money as lagos will beat Lagos infrastructural wise on every level.

Tinubu supporters should spare us the noise abeg.

There has been significant changes in Lagos since 1991 in infrastructure.

There has also been a marked increase in the number of street urchins or touts who rob motorists of their hard earned money ( Owo mi da crew) with impunity and effrontery because they see themselves as untouchable based on the position of their lord and master in Lagos state government.

Educate me about it.
I can remember using public water in 1991.

Nothing really changed except from few cusmetics by fashola in terms of BRT and the monorial project and yet it still doesn't commensurate with the kind of money Lagos generate from tax. You got to be honest with yourself
