Oga abeg remove Lagos from your equation if SW no go carry last!

Ps3ver:

Wtf are you talking about? You seem to be suffering from self delusions. Who shut down ports in the east or said they function at 10%? The fact that you can come up with all these ridiculous tales means there's no point conversing with you. Wallow in your ignorance and self delusions.

Afonja and brain of a dove...so you think all of a sudden Port Harcourt, Calabar, Onne, Warri and Onitsha ports just stopped working, and Lagos started working? You didn't think the federal government planned it to keep SS and SE down? Lol...

Yes now, for almost a century as the capital of Nigeria with niger delta oil wealth for her foundation. No other state will try that. Thats why lagos state is 10 times richer than all 5 SW states of osun, ogun, oyo, ondo, ekiti combined together. 90% of the wealth of lagos state is in the hand of non lagosians. Out of the 10% of the wealth that is in the hand of lagosians, 9% are in the hand of tinubu. There is a likehood that Dangote may control upto 40% of entire wealth of eko in two decades to come making him the emperor of not only lagos but ogun state where he lay claim as his economic empire. Lagos is truly a great state.

How do you want us to rejoice with Lagos when the system is not fair to all? I don't understand how you afonjas reason. How would you feel if Lagos ports and airport are shut down or only allowed to function below 10%, and all seaports and airports opened to full capacity in SS and SE; have you yorubas traveling to SS and SE to clear/ship your goods and to travel out in and out of the country. How will you yorubaas feel? Do you yorubaas have any sense of basic human conscience and decency at all? My goodness.

Bros, take it cool. It's simple arithmetic. All those sectors you mentioned belong to the federal government. All the revenues generated go into the purse of the federal govt, not state's. All their workers are federal government staff, who are on the federal govt's payroll. What Lagos generates as revenues go into the state's purse. Don't confuse yourself. Lagos has nothing to share from what the fed govt generates from the sea or airports. If those sectors actually belonged to Lagos State, fashola would have fixed the apapa-wharf road abandoned by the jonathan administration for political reasons, despite the huge revenues coming from the sea port during his tenure on a monthly basis

shut up

do u know how many southerners are killed in the north monthly

If the most profitable state in Nigeria was in the north or SE or SS do you think you'll have the freedom Yorubas give non-indigenes..

stop saying rubbish and appreciate good development and hope Lagos keeps been peaceful..[/s]

Not surprised...afonjas are naturally devoid of basic human conscience, decency, fairness and compassion.

GEJ had between 2010-2015 to reverse the trend, why didn't he?

What did Anyim influence towards the development of the South East as the Secretary of the Federal Government under GEJ?

Thank you for acknowledging that this injustice exists. Had Jonathan tried to change it, he would have been murdered. You people don't realize the forces holding and marginalizing SE and SS...powerful forces, more powerful than GEJ. They know that economic independence of SE and SS will bring about end of Nigeria.

remove SW from Nigeria and Nigeria gets crippled..

Yeah, right! If you believe that, then you need your head examined.

Nice! Laudable! Akin to the feat achieved by the city of Carlifornia as the fifth largest economy in the world.Well, I see it as a gauntlet thrown at her feet to address the huge infrastructural gap all too evident across the state.
Lagos should be expanding and modernizing its railway network in the short and midterm.And, should seriously be planning for a subway system in the long-term, say, 15, 20 years.

The last three region on this chat are just too parasitic, they contribute little or nothing to this country but they want to have it all. This marriage is full of garbage.

If you want liberation you must fight for it, it is not handed over on a platter of Gold. GEJ, Anyim, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala and Deziani were in prime positions to reverse the situation but rather choose not to as long as their personal wallets were bulging.

You expecting it to easily reverse in this administration is like expecting a plate piled up with jollof rice garnished with chicken from your step-mother when you couldn't get any when your mother was in charge of food sharing!

KingEbukasBlog:
Lagos State's revenue is so high - N101.69 billion revenue for the first quarter of the year !

Not up to ekiti states budget for the year.

I'm trying to have a conversation with you since you appear sensible in acknowledging that this injustice exist, which I applaud and respect you for. What I'm saying is what you are not understanding is that GEJ, Okonja Iweala cannot help change this injustice because the forces responsible for the systematic marginalization of SE and SS are far more powerful than them. Makes sense now?

we really need true federalism were no region will cheat d other .

also saw a funny post were someone posted d SW as having d largest IGR pls remove Lagos igr and let's c hw d might sw are fallen

How you guys think beats my imagination. Is Lagos no longer a part of the SW now Or has it been moved to the middle belt that you're asking for it be removed from the SW just because you want the SE to look good against the SW? You lots do clown without ceasing.

D first largest economy in africa would not even b recognised as an economy elsewhere..talkless of d fifth.. lol..its just like being d fifth strongest maggot in a pit

How can Lagos still be 5th largest economy when the Naira has been devalued by almost half since 2014?

Simple message for the haters .WHEN Lagos was the capital it was a mess and it was the agenda of the north that with Abuja in place Lagos should die. Thank God for Tinubu. What was the state of the Lagos economy in 1999. If Lagos had been governed by PDP since that time there would be NOTHING to celebrate.

Lagos being where it is today is not destiny. The truth is that since 1999 Lagos has had the best government,One can only dream what would have been in Delta and Akwa Ibom with all the oil money they got. Where is the money gone and what do they have to show for it?
In 1999 Lagos IGR was 6 billion today it is over 200 billion.That is not LUCK!!
The next state in Line is Ogun State and then Ondo

those forces don't control the state stop behaving like everything is the FG's fault...

the FG comprises of mainly northerners who dislike the south.. it is left for southerners to look for loopholes in the constitution and grow their economy...

what is stopping Bayelsa and Rivers state from building a state owned refinery like you they are dependent on the FG that consists of people that envy them.

Yorubas are self sufficient and will always work towards been self-sufficient..

u don't need to quote that guy. He is just jealous and deluded

@the bolded, by who? To what cause and to what end would he have been murdered The man was clearly stupid_. One of the reasons I loathe him.

You sure write like a child. What do you mean by the 'economic independence of the SE would bring about the end of Nigeria One thing Biafran separatists have failed to understand is that Nigeria's system is heavily dependent and designed in a cause-and-effect pattern. A system cannot exist in isolation, at least not now. The reason for this is very simple; no region is fully developed and capable of self sufficiency contrary to what senior separatists preach. Just don't try to make excuses for GEJ. He was a President who failed woefully. He had the opportunity to gift the SS the best Presidential gift ever but allowed petty politics to get to him all because he was a spineless fellow incapable of making manly decisions.

From this pie chart,we can see the contribution of the parasitic north,they re not contributing much bt want to call the shots at all time, dictating who gets wat nd how much. The more reason we need to go back to either regionalism or a true federal system of government and not this quasi type that is neither unitary nor federal.


Take for instance VAT paid on alcohol, the Moslems in the northern part are discouraged from consuming alcohol bt at the end of every month wen Lagos state is done generating VAT for the Federal government inclusive of alcohol and cigarettes consumed in the southern part, the North will still get paid from the it despite not consuming/purchasing these items.

It's a very crazy arrangement, it's robbing Peter to pay Paul,the system is heavily rigged to favour the North and there seems to be nothing our spineless leaders from the South can do abt it, it's either they re playing politics of hate or my enemy's enemy is my friend without critically looking our for interests,a very myopic set of people.

But the forces did not stop AYIM from congesting the MDAs with the Igbos. You are simply looking for who to blame for your backwardness and irrelevance. Beside what are ur Governors doing ?
