True talk, most oil coy in ND have deir head quarters in lag, and deir workers pay tax to lagos state, why won't deir IGR increase and deir state beta developed, though d ND state lacked and still lack good leaders
Your last statement is very correct, one of the reasons why I am a strong advocate for resource control is not because I want more money in the hands of the governors but because so that the people can hold their state governors responsible since they won't be able to shift the blame to fg

The comment and the person who made that comment have no value to Lagos.
Lagos is yet to even attain its God ordained glory yet some can't see the glory that lies ahead of Lagos.
Thank you Tinubu

Why are we still Nigeria Oil not Lagos.
Re: Nigeria Needs Lagos More Than Niger Delta – Sanusi by rottenegg: 12:11am On Sep 06, 2016
The only reason Lagos works that way is because it has the only vibrant port in the country..... and that's because they have been sabotaging other ports from taking off or running at full potential.
If this man actually said the above... then he's not that smart. Take the Apapa wharf out of the picture.... Lagos is dead. Apapa generates more internal revenue than most states get from FG plus their own IGR.

Funny enough, Lagos also has oil.


I'm not saying ND is more important, but he should stop that hypocritus lyricus that he's singing out.


as of his pockets don't smell of fuel cash, legal or illegal!!!!!

He's irresponsible. Such statements are careless and divisive. Lagos is very industralized. But as far as Nigeria depends on oil, you can't do without Niger Delta.
People like the Emir are also part of the problem.

Actually, Lagos is the biggest slum in the world. With VI as the most expensive slum. No planning, no good infrastructure, just two track/Lane roads and people are celebrating such mediocrity. If you navigate off the "expressway" you will know that it is just charade and a dirty dingy. Only if they left the shores of Nigeria. I weep for my country!!!

It is ludicrous to say that Lagos is the model when it is clear that FGN has pampered Lagos, Lagos has been developed by FGN when it was the capital.FGN refused to develop other ports apart from the ones in Lagos. Tinapa was frustrated because of Lagos. All oil exploration coys have their headquarters in Lagos. Let every state live by its resources and u go see how fowl yansh go open. Make Warri , calabar and port Harcourt ports be developed and see what will happen. ND is being milked by FGN but not so Lagos. And yet it is the world's worst city to live in.

1. Lagos was already developed before the FG picked Lagos as the FG and they picked Lagos state for obvious reasons, Lagos was already developed.


2. Lagos was already a developed entity even before Nigeria's became a country and before independence.

3. Lagos as the Federal capital was confined to Lagos island and not anything beyond cater bridge. Learn some social sturdies..

4. All the industrial estates in Lagos from ikeja industrial estate to Apapa industrial estate to Mushin, Matori, and Ilupeju industrial estates that developed Lagos state and made Lagos the commercial capital of Nigeria and west Africa was built by the western region under Awolowo and these industrial estates are still responsible for major chunks of Nigerian's industrial activities, goods and services. They were not in Lagos Island or built by the FG and they were even built before independence and Nigeria as a country.

5. FG did not do anything special for Lagos and in fact, they built 3 bridges and some worthless and neglected places like the national stadium in surulere and last time I checked, the FG built bridges and airports in other states so what's special about Lagos?

6. Lagos is what it is today and most importantly since 1999 because of good and credible leadership with strong managerial skills, good foresight and vision and not the FG.

7. To show you the meaning of great leadership with vision and foresight in Lagos, the Metro rail we are constructing now was under construction back in the 80s before it was terminated, but guess what, Lagos leaders from then till now did not give up and it's coming into fruition.

8. The first IPP in Nigeria was undertaken by Tinubu is Lagos and if the worthless and useless PDP FG didn't sabotage that 2721MW which is still active till today, we won't have power issues in Lagos and Nigeria. It's leadership and foresight..

9. We talk about Lagos and IGR today, but when Tinubu boosted Lagos IGR from common N500 to billions which allowed Fashola and now Ambode to have funds for the largest infrastructure revolution in Nigeria, many ignorant and hateful people with bad bele were badmouthing and shouting alpha beta and corruption, but guess who is having the last laugh, the people of Lagos raking in more IGR than even many countries in Africa.

10. Lastly, the FG did not manage Lagos state, Lagos state governors and Lagosians manage Lagos.

FG gov. doesn't tell leaders in Lagos what to build or spend their money on or what contract to sign or not sign, the FG did not make or advise Lagos state how to grown their economy, how to grow their IGR or where and howto invest their money, the decisions were made in Alahusa by the people of Lagos state.

Lagosians don't wait or beg the FG for anything, they role up their sleeves and go to work, they built the best and the most beautiful bridge in Nigeria and west Africa on their own while some people are still sitting on their hands for 30 years begging the FG for 2Nd NB.


The Nigerian Government didn't have the capacity and talent to manage and run a state like Lagos since they've been bad managers since independence.


Leadership in Lagos developed Lagos state.

That is what they keep saying but they wouldn't let ND region and the oil rest. The last time I checked their is port in rivers and delta why are the ports not working if the FG is sincere. Most of the oil companies are paying huge revenue to the Lagos state government monthly yet some fools will just wake up and talking rubbish

You have a valid point about the ports ( both sea and air) with the oil companies.

Wonder why the federal government is monopolizing the ports issue majorly in lagos when most of the items are not even for lagos.

If you ask me how ports generates IGR like the person asking above here is it :

Nearness to both seaports and air ports is one of the factors considered in siting a company dueto ease of raw materials ( in this case imported) and exportation too.

Now, if I have a company sited in say Akwaibom, and the customs and other clearing charges for a container is about 600k in lagos Apapa port and 1M in Rivers ONNE port , I think will be forced to clear my container in Apapa and use say 200k to transport it to Akwaibom and save 200k.

But again, if I relocate my company to Lagos I will be saving that 200k transport cost per container which is more profit to the company right?

So if I relocate to lagos, I will be paying taxes to the state government which inturns increase the IGR.
I will employ those who reside in lagos and as I pay them salaries they are equally contributing in their own way to the state's purse.

In a like manner, since only lagos ports are more active if I am to export my goods to overseas I will have to transport it to lagos first and still pay some charges which goes to both the FG and state purse before shipping which is also wastage of resources and little profit for my company. Why don't I just go there for profits sake.

F**k Akwaibom ! Let me relocate to lagos or its nearby state ASAP to enjoy these goodies for my company.

The difference in customs clearance and other charges between lagos and Rivers was intentionally done to attract more Companies up West so more money will go there.

I can't count the number of active seaports in China cause every region that is linked to the sea or ocean has a seaport.

So can someone explain to me why areas close to the sea in Nigeria don't have sea ports and also why there will be much difference in clearing charges and duty?

Will be waiting for some sensible enlightenment.
Re: Nigeria Needs Lagos More Than Niger Delta – Sanusi by aribisala0(m): 3:11am On Sep 06, 2016
No one is monopolizing anything . Lagos is the cheapest place to set up a port in Nigeria because of the terrain. Those who shout are ignorant of the geography. Long ago the British abandoned Calabar for practical reasons. Indeed Ondo state is even the next best option but does not have the road network infrastructure. Akwa Ibom too is another option but these are all going to be more than double the cost of even another port in Lagos .
Lagos is also cheaper for importers because the market is there and shippers will not go anywhere else
