Vulturereloaded: For long, some people have been using lagos to campaign for Tinubu. They said he built lagos and all Nigerians began to migrate to lagos, because of Tinubu.
A question was asked on another thread, why Nigerians migrated to Abuja as well, and nobody was able to answer.
We all know that IGR moves with people. The more people that migrate to a place, the more taxes, and more revenue.
Today we will discuss these 5 things, try to remove them from lagos, and them find out what Tinubu did in lagos. That will make a Nigerian leave another state to relocate to lagos.
Former Capital status
I dont need to duel more on the issue of the federal capital status until those who say Tinubu Built lagos, and made Nigerians migrate, tell me why Nigerians also migrated to Abuja.
And why Tinubu insisted on owning a property in a choice area in Abuja, as part of his imoral eternal life pension law.
Embassies
Most countries have their embassies in capitals of countries. Since lagos was once the capital, the US and Uk Embassies are located there. As at today, the Embassies in lagos represent Souther Nigeria, while that of Abuja represents the North.
Most people from the South have to travel to lagos to apply, because the have relatives in lagos, while those from the North apply from Abuja.
We all know the number of Nigerians that apply for Visa daily. Imagine half of that number applying from lagos. This means they have to travel to lagos, transport within lagos, eat and patronise hotels in lagos.
Why wont you invest in hotel or propery business in a state that has huge daily influx of Nigerians?
International airport After applying for Visa, those who are successful will have to travel through the lagos international airport. This means that after the visit lagos for application, they will still have to return to lagos to fly.
This means that taxi drivers and hotel owners in lagos, will probably make more money that their colleagues in other states.
Seaport
Aside the points listed above that already drove Nigerians to lagos, Nigeria is an import dependent nation, and lagos ports account for 60%-70% of cargo clearance in Nigeria.
This is because lagos ports are closer to the ocean, making it cheaper for containers to land in lagos.
Also lagos ports are bigger and deeper, making it better for bigger ships to birth.
Also, lagos ports are the only export gateway out of Nigeria. No matter what you produce and where you produce for export, it can only be shipped out of Nigeria through Appapa and Tincan ports.
This in addition to the reason above, makes lagos the economic capital of Nigeria.
Border to West Africa
Lagos also has a border to west African countries, this means that most traders in west Africa will move goods to and fro lagos borders.
Why wont an importer reside in lagos, when its cheaper to clear container, and distribute goods in west Africa?
The flow of traffic to and fro the border also generates revenue, as those who come to by and sell, pay direct and indirect taxes.
Of all the things i listed Above, which of them did TINUBU influence, as they are all controlled by federal government, though generating revenue for the state?
If you remove all the above, what did tinubu do, that will make any Nigerian want to leave their state and move to lagos?
GentleChief: Ok we don hear but we are still voting Obi hands down! We don't even need any whatsapp message to tell us the obvious truth.
Most of you guys hate Igbos with passion and come around to say its Igbos that hate you people. While the true enemy is surrounding your lands, the below book is what a foolish Yoruba man wrote and published. We know all this.
It was still a Yoruba man that advised the Fulani to use hunger and starve 3 million people to death. We have this on file even though we have moved on from it.
Peter Obi is not really you people's problem. You guys major problem is that suddenly, Igbos who you people hitherto wanted to wipe out from Nigeria and relegate them to politcal servitude jn Nigeria are now more wiser and smarter in your dangerous games!
Nigerians have decided to support their own now... Una still get wahala!
It was on this same forum that we usually saw topics and comments like... "Igbos never support their own and will never succeed on their own"
Mr Naptu2 the subtle yoruba bigot, when will you ever research topics that are anti tinubu? You claim to be a veteran journalist but you are largely a hidden bigot and an Igbo hater.
All your threads and topics are largely anti Igbo and pro Yoruba! Yet you claim to be a nationalist journalist.
What I find funny is how Peter Obi the so called inconsequential candidate suddenly became a headache for the ruling party.
You guys stay in one room, post a thread, use bots to generate likes and then call a mod to post it to front page.
But una eyes go clear las las.
Lets divide so you rule yourselves, una refuse! Lets stay together and allow Igbos their turn, una refuse! Wetin una want self?
Allow me to further amplify it bro.
Yoruba bellied up to fulani because they were allowed some exclusive priviledges in Nigeria. They negotiated these exclusivities in their servitude of shame to their slave masters. This is the pattern of slavery which they readily lended themselves to in their quest to spite Igbos and the rest of southern ethnicities.
It is trite knowledge that Yoruba is in a tentative agreement with fulani to deny the southeast a functional seaport and an international airport. Yoruba it is that lobbied hard and is still lobbying for Akanu Ibiam airport, a federal facility to remain morribund as it is. These shylocks know that Igbos and their eastern and south-south cousins and neigbors constitute the Lagos economy.
60 percent of all cargo volume accruing to Lagos sea ports are consigned by Igbos. An impressive 40 percent of MMA traffic is Igbo traffick by default. It is easy to see why they will rather die than see the Igboman make his entrepreneural superiority obvious.
Yoruba remains the most dangerous group in Nigeria. Unlike the fulani, they kill you slowly, behind your back, cowardly. Fulani are frontal, that way, you get a chance and a surface to fight back.
Give me a lion (fulani) anyday as an adversary. I don' like snakes ( Yoruba).
Your expected insults will not be read. Save your breaths.
LeoDeKing: Tinubu will never respond to inconsequential olodo seeking his attention.
He can join his ipobs on social media and continue ranting, pim, you no go hear from Tinubu.
Atiku is the only challenger, so he is not bothered by all the cacophony of noise coming from the headquarters of hate, bitterness and aggression.
I hear say peace don depart una camp. As in, sleep don vanish from una eyes ontop Peter Obi name. Una never see anything yet. Campaign never even start sef
Amoda the drug dealer would so love for something to happen to Peter Obi. But I'm sure his partners in Abuja and DSS have drawn his ears.
They definitely know that Nigeria will not survive the fury that is to come if Amoda by any stretch of the imagination visit the Funsho Williams fate on the obidient man as he is wont to do.
goslowgoslow: Somebody is telling you what Obi should be doing so that he can win you are making reference to his opponent. If Tinubu is not campaigning in the SE of what business of yours is that? Your business should be Obi"s strategy that will make him win. And what has speck is somebody's eyes go to with this matter? This your comment is childish!
You need to go and take several seats. What makes you think that I do not want Tinubu, or should we call him by his real name, Amoda, to win?. He cannot win with the crass arrogance he displays towards the people of the east, south-south and north-central.
Neither is he going to win anything anywhere by continuing to dodge Nigerians and speak to them through surrogates.
The only childish comment I see here is yours. I only want Amoda to play responsible politics, so Nigerians from all regions get a good chance to properly evaluate him.
Chioma4eva: I mean they toast you for weeks endlessly and try to get your love and attention and when you finally give them the attention and give them the chance to win your heart and maybe after dates and probably sex, they lose interest and go cold. Why is this so? Is love dead in Nigeria?
limeta: Wtf is wrong with yoruba youths Kanu was kidnapped not arrested Mamu was arrested by another Islamic state by muslims You all terrorists any way .
This Mamu charachter was on an international watchlist. I can assure you that Nigeria intelligence services know who he is and his culpability to the terrorism that has become commonplace in Nigeria, but the people in Abuja will have none of it. They keep pretending these characters including their boss Gumi does not exist.
Egypt finally did ordinary Nigerians the favor we urgently need, and this fulani terrorist government have no choice than pretend it innitiated this terrorists arrest. He has been in Nigeria all along dinning and weining with northern religious and polittical bigwigs. This is a confirmation of what some of us have been saying all along.
Buhari knows who is responsible for the misery that is called banditry, boko haram and iswap. How far hiw own hands are in the cookie jar is what still needs to be clarified.
sarkinbauchi: While Peter Obi should be visiting the Northern parts of Nigeria and establishing a strong presence there with his Vice President, commissioning Labour Party offices, he is busy travelling from country to country visiting international organisations thinking all the youths in Nigeria are on lockdown for him.
I'm beginning to see he is not serious at all about his camapaign efforts. Nigerian youths should think of voting Atiku if the unseriousnesss of Peter Obi continues to persist. We cannot afford to allow APC come back.
Take the log from your eyes before crying about the speck in mine. I'm yet to see Tinubu in the southeast, or really in the south-south. He is definitely not a candidate to be taken seriously.
A man whose arrogance and illusion tell him the way to win an election is through surrogates and ignore-policy on those he believes know his antecedents, therefore will not fall for his intended fraud on them, will experience blue wonder in February.

oikirodah: Batte For 2023: Logical Reason Why It Is Time For Lagos To Produce The Next President
Welcome to today's freaky Friday, where the editorial board of the Bush Radio Academy will be telling it like it is. On freaky Friday, the subject of the conversation may be described in harsh language, so proceed with caution.
In recent weeks, I've seen evidence that the opposition parties are working hard to distort the narrative that Tinubu built Lagos; they've gone back in time and said everything they could to twist the story to their advantage. Names such as Mobolaji Johnson, Lateef Jakande, Buba Marwa, and others who have contributed to the development of Lagos are prominently mentioned.
They have articulated their arguments—Lagos was once the Federal Capital Territory—and they have spoken persuasively, what they have really said is that Lagos is a leader in terms of setting the pace of development and a place where previous Lagos State governments have excelled.
So, based on their words and actions, up to eulogizing Tinubu's successors, Ambode and Sanwo Olu, for the clearly visible transformation of Lagos State, they have concluded that Lagos State, for whatever reasons they have advanced, remains the undisputed leader in infrastructure, development, economy, security, and so on.
So, if we agree that all previous Lagos governments performed admirably, what prevents a Lagosian from becoming the next president when we clearly have a Lagosian in the person of Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the race?
Is it not better for us all if our country can be transformed into a mini Lagos across the six geo-political regions?
It's similar to a continental challenge in that each country is expected to bring their best athletes to compete; they don't settle for second best, regardless of tribe or religion. How many times have Nigerians questioned the composition of our national relay team?
We can all agree that Tinubu didn't build Lagos alone; it took a team effort, but no other state's governors have been able to create a perfect team effort like Lagos, so why do we want to take a chance when we already have a good team with a player who is performing well?
Is this not amusing? It only demonstrates that Tinubu is an ideal team player who can maintain sustainability and make sure he transfers the baton to another capable team member who can do the same.
But, because some people have decided to be hypocrites and turn logic on its head, they want to mock Tinubu for not even being a member of the relay team that has consistently given Lagos the gold medal.
Then they'll say Tinubu isn't from Lagos, providing a weak defense for their folly. However, according to all known laws, Tinubu represents Lagos and has previously served in that capacity, making him a Bonafide Lagos citizen by whatever ramifications or perception you put it, even in their own foolishness.
Let them say whatever they want, after all, people call other people goats, and no matter how stupid a person is, he or she will never be a goat as long as he or she is human.
If those people, who are always spreading lies about others, asked their adversaries to describe them, you might hear things like, "No mind Faith," "na pig she be," "Emma, that slave no be human being o." etc , Why then should it come as a surprise that they say Tinubu is not a native of Lagos?
When you now refer to their aspirant as a regional candidate, the same people who previously begged to keep religion and tribe out of politics now turn red with rage.
Lagos deserves to produce the next president because it is time for the goose that lays the golden egg to take proper command so that golden eggs can be laid throughout the federation's 36 states. Lagos has never produced the Federal Republic of Nigeria's President.
Osigwe Omo-Ikirodah is the Chairman and CEO Bush Radio Academy.
This idiot has the audacity to copyright protect rubbish.
Amoda's desperation has become neausating, and his foolish urchings who propagate this avoidable desaster even more.
Lagos laid the golden egg?. So, what do we say to the Niger Deltans and even Igbos without whose natural resources, we'd definitely be worse off than ghana today?.
searchng4love: Zik ensured that the secession clause was omitted from the Lancaster Conference of 1954 binding documents.
Kaduna Nzeogwu truncated our thriving regional democracy. Murdering the progressive political leaders.
Aguiyi Ironsi truncated regionalism and brought about unitary FG.....
Ojukwu plunged Igbos into the needless civil war....
100% of the problems faced by Nigerians in South Africa are caused by the Igbo.
Between Zik and Awolowo, who had to be incarcerated for graft and treason?. Between Peter Obi and Amoda Ogunlere, who is known to Nigerians as an age cheater, impersonator, thief, gangster, drug dealer and junkie?.

Ah!, Wikipedia. Any Idiot and their cousin can edit the information contained therein. Besides, una no dey speak the same language abi?. Like Ikwerre whom the Igboman understands, is not Igbo. No be Yoruba get Lagos jor.
Cyberterror: The worst is that Peter Obi has ties to IPOB who seek to destroy our beautiful country Nigeria. He is also corrupt(Pandora) and slow which is the reason for him graduating with third class in philosophy.
Ipob is the reason your name has not changed to Shehu adamu.
Moh247: What is so complex about this for you Igbodients to understand?!
Mogaji Abibatu is the mother , Kafaru Tinubu is the father, they had a baby but later went their separate ways, Bola grew up with his mum Abibatu and also with his uncle in Ibadan wale Tinubu's father... Oyetola's mother is a sibling with Mogaji Abibatu
Una don begin rewrite history Abi?. Awon revisionists. Campaign go soon start. Una yansh go open like olosho wey dey collect from back.
Do you bear you mother's surname? Or Omokirikiri is Reno's mother's name
Wale Tinubu of Oando PLC is his nephew, did he also adopt him as nephew, what of the Tinubu heading Primero did Jagaban also force him to be his family
You have a Father from Tinubu's Lagos Island family and a mother from Iragbiji Osun State who married and became Iyaloja of Lagos is that a crime
seunmsg: He can’t do without talking about Tinubu. He went all the way to America to discuss Tinubu with some gullible Igbo supporters. After losing the election, he will go back to live in Lagos and enjoy the good governance that Tinubu was able to put in place in Lagos.
Peter Obi went from London to Germany, to Canada, to the US, holding town hall meetings, interviews, and other meetings.
These were all commercial air travel. What an energy charged man, just the man the country need right now.
Even with his private aircraft, Amoda will be challenged to complete an inter Continental flight. Man is literally falling apart that everybody he meets had to hold him.
We asked him to directly speak to us and not through surrogates. He can't. Words will fail him woefully. He cannot stand and address a gathering for any appreciable length of time.
And some people are conniving to send this man to Abuja. None of you will make heaven I swear.
christistruth01: It is very obvious you are not even aware that the so called Elders you speak of were undemocratically hand picked by Ojukwu for his own agenda
Even Azikiwe was not amongst them
The Efiks were definitely not with you in his War the Efiks joyfully surrendered to Gowons forces. Joined the Nigerian Army in droves
And we're joyously cooking food carrying the bags and luggages of Gowons forces on their heads for free everywhere the Soldiers went
They even held a serious Party of the Year welcome Party with heavy dancing for the Nigerian Soldiers when they reached Calabar
