It beats my imagination why a particular people can just exist for the sole aim of beating their dry chests to make them feel better, even when hunger is removing their wrapper from their waist.

Lagos is not better than any state in Nigeria, no better roads, no better electricity, no better business climate, no better quality of living or security, but some people exist in this world by hyping the city, even to the point of telling bare faced lies to make them sleep better at night.

Online, everyone who is from there who are ashamed of their states will claim Lagos, because of the online hype, the lies and the vain attempts to rub it in everyone's face that the place is better.

The commissioner did what every other person from there does, BOAST ON EMPTY STOMACH.

Why are u sounding frustrated?

Cairo? Please stay updated with the current financial problem Egypt is going through

Cape town, South Africa, with light shedding, which there potential next president would be. Zuma, Malema or Ramaphosa all products of ANC that bastardized the country .

Abeg stop the kidney

Bros, I had lived in Johannesburg and did travel to Cape Town from time to time.

These cities beat Lagos by far ... even from appearance. Is it skyscrapers, infrastructure, presence of multinational companies etc?

I don't know much about Cairo but Lagos can never overtake Johannesburg & Cape Town. It's not possible.

That feel good propaganda from the LASG is laughable

Useless set of people. What is the essence of GDP that doesn't reflect in the daily life of the masses. Hardship all over the land, they like to gives themselves cheap praise . I have never seen the kind of useless politician that exist in Nigeria anywhere in the world.

If you are comparing your GDP with other cities in Africa, I think the most reasonable thing to do is to convert our naira into dollars. That will automatically bring down the GDP of any state in Nigeria.

I sincerely doubt Lagos GDP being ₦41trn. Last time I checked , Lagos was 30% of Nigeria GDP which in 2024 is $253bn so Lagos should be around $75bn in GDP. Nevertheless, government should try and take/keep & update records and statistics properly.
a government who never say how much they spend on projects will keep statistics. Na statistics we go chop ?

Truly,the devaluation would have affected the GDP of Lagos compared to other Africa nations who were below Lagos before but the problem with FIJ is that they didn't provide any proof.
Until then,we are still with the commissioner.

You were so pained to see Lagos being listed among top 7 economy in Africa. Thats why you have to so poor your mind out like you are ejaculating when you saw the post that disputed the earlier claim about Lagos.

First, you drag the Yoruba tribe into it to portray that all Yorubas are chest beaters. Unfortunately, you refused to note that the reporter of the post that made you so euphoric to the point of ejaculation is also a Yoruba man. So in a way, a Yoruba man made a claim while another Yoruba man disputed the claim but you are too myopic to see that. You still chose to drag all of them together. Anyway, na wetin unna wan hear and see na him unna dey hear and see, not what need to be heard and seen.

To the topic itself, both you and the reporter faced backyard in your analysis and assessment of the matter. The reporter gave us figures for African countries while the commissioner referred to Lagos state. If you and the reporter had been able to do justice to the issue, you should be mentioning states in Africa with figures that show your claim and counterclaims, not country.

One state in a country might actually be doing better than states from other countries. However if that state is the only stand out state among other states in its country while other individual countries have more states still doing much fine compared the country of one-stand out state, then the success of the one state might not be able to project it's country better than those other countries with more states doing fine. It's so simple but your quack reporter is not able to better analyse the commissioner's claim.

I qualify to be a journalist while I also work in a company that does a lot of figure analysis.
