berem: buhahahaha! You can't remember the last time you saw molue abi? Yeah because you live in Lekki or VI! Abeg go to oshodi,Iyana Ipaja and Orile you go see Molue for there yanfu yanfu! Even with the presence of BRT buses, Lagosians still patronize Molue buses.I dey laff o!

Iboz man, why not pack yah load and big fat face and go back to your 10th century hamlet in alaibo? Jealousy, low self esteem and inferiority complex will surely kill ibo man. You live in a progressive and recognized place built and owned by the Yorubas for thousands of years and yet you are envious of its progress and acclaim. Useless ibo fathead!

These muderfuckers want to tribalise this news now.The report didnt say lagos in yorubaland or capetown in zulu land,but lagos in nigeria and capetown in south african.

What is happening in lagos is what happens to a city that functions,where people go out to work to make a difference,to be proud of their surrondings and make it liveable by contributing their quotas.

Though the state of lagos entirely is still not what normal people should be sounding the drums for,but he is making efforts to create a model that can extend to everybody.A situation where ikoyi and ajegunle will look relatively the same,the same fascilities,the same buildings,the drivable roads and drainages and the same habitable environments,although it might take decades to materialize if the tempo can be maintain,but understadbly,rome was not built in a day.

It is the duty of every nigerian to make nigeria a proud place to be,by being rational,selfless,honest,industrious and far sighted.It is not alwways about today,but what will do today can make tomorro better.And it doesnt alwwys have to be better for us,but for our children.

topazjosh: and by the time ondo seaport is working you will see that yoruba men has multiple choice#when ll u guys stop all dis tribals stunt#mtcheww
This has nothing to do with tribal war. majority of the shipment that dock at apapa belongs to the Igbo man. this has increased the revenue to Lagos state at-large. if the President would keep to his words and make the sea port at onitsha vibrant like Lagos, its only common sense to say the revenue of Lagos will drop.
before now, international flight leave Port Harcourt, but now, you will find that Lagos is the central point where most of these airlines stop. if the aviation decides to spread the goodies across board, revenue will also drop.
the only thing that will continue to go up in Lagos is tax that why the government on ground (Lagos) is fighting to make it effective.
please no insult but constructive criticism... grin embarassed

This fraud, Lagos was built with Nigerian money of which resourceless Yoruba nation contributed not a penny. Dont come here to beat your chest about your fraud tribe when lagos is being discussed. If lagos wants to start deporting today, you will be the first to be bundled back your mud house in ogun or osun. You contribute nothing to the economy of lagos and a nuissance to people raising revenue to Lagos state govt.

Just like how the world works for some people cos they see opportunities and remain optimistic about things around them, so is the reason why some people will look at Lagos and believe its an innovative city (which is it) while others see no good in it (but wonder why they can't have a breakthrough or headway in their individual lives).

Its a fact that Lagos is working, no matter if there're hiccups here and there. You will soon start to see this replicated in Ogun, Osun, Edo, Ekiti, Rivers, Imo, Niger and other states where the people are being served not being done a favour. It is the true dividend of democracy. Eko o ni baje!

Nice one Lagos state. At least, the state is MANAGEABLE compared to other Nigerian states. Btw, I am in Lagos as we speak and there are no molues so far. Diasporans, do not be deceived!

Secondly, how was Lagos state built with "oil money" and other states were not? Is it not the same federal allocation all states get from Abuja. Even before the advent of Abuja, only the Islands were "bubbly", since when did oil money build Ikeja, Surulere, Yaba et al? Some people are really confused. undecided

Stop talking like an illiterate, Lagos was once Nigeria's capital, that is why it is what it is today, if not, lagos would'nt have been better than the Ibadan of today. Ibadan is the heart of oduduwa nation. Tommorrow you will tell us Abuja dropped from the sky.

so how is lagos state generally faring. you Yoruba people think/see and believe differently from normal humans. The same Lagos state rick ross shot a video. Only a fool like you will not know a capital extends development to surroundings just like Abuja is doing. So why is lagos state far much more better than oyo (the capital of the oduduwa nation). why do I always see deluded Yoruba people on NL.

Now, that abuja own will be very funny.
Imagine almajiris tomorrow,coming to tell you that they built abuja with agricultural money.
I will probably laugh for 10 hours before stopping.

Point of correction. Lagos is the way it is because. (1) Its strategically located to facillitate importation and exportation. (2) Its inhabitants were open minded to have mixed with the whites and gain exposure early (3) Its inhabitants were good hosts thereby encouraging visitors to invest in it. (4) Whites could have chosen anywhere along the Nigerian coast to settle but Lagosians were the most progressive even back then.
