Abagworo: Good for them! I think it is high time the both southerly legs of Nigeria help to lift it by working with their people in their states and regions. You create Dubai, Taiwan, Japan, etc over there in SE, we create New York, London, Silicon Valley, China, etc over here in our Yoruba SW - this can only be the best for Nigeria. We can be neighbours from afar, we can meet in Abuja and further help the country but we absolutely do not want conflicts which is not our intention but could erupt by the constant provocation and disregard for our laws, our culture, our heritage, our lands, insults to our heroes like Chief Obafemi Awolowo and some of our contemporary leaders like Professor Wole Soyinka and Governor Fashola. An insult to the least person in Yoruba land is unacceptable where we gave you a chance to rent and live among us, something the other parts of Nigeria with even more land like the northerners will not do or give 5 people space but one day wake up and kill 50! You see the problem now? Any lands not owned or bought by Yorubas will not get C of Os, even if the company from the hostile people have billions of dollars and gold, invest it right there in Iboland and help lift Nigeria, broadcast it on our CNN, we will be happy and busy leading the way there too. This is the way of the future for Nigeria! 1 Like |

And gave them land I laugh in Ikale dialect u sure don't know jack about The Land Use Act hence u can shamelessly lie about d Fed Govt giving land to companies....who will iisue them C of O? |

Abagworo:How does one make a statement like this.Surely the source of your information is not a secret? You just wake up one day and say there are morehairdressers in Kwara State.Without data and sources of data we are indulging in witchcraft .I do not know which state has more but I will like to know regarding your claim HOW DO YOU KNOW? 1 Like |

Tolexander: am only trying to tell you to be straightforward instead of the hiding behind a finger. Can a 'thief' ever be straightforward in conduct? No. A thief will always be shifty and dodgy with no compunction about lying. If the Amosun Govt had not made industrialization a cornerstone of its leadership drive then there may be a window of opportunity for thieves always desperate to steal achievement for a worthless and regressive FG. As it is, there is too much literature which can show even a child that the Amosun government planned for what we are seeing now. http://news2.onlinenigeria.com/news/top-stories/219914-ogun-state-nigeria%E2%80%99s-new-industrial-hub.html Ogun State: Nigeria’s New Industrial Hub |

I wonder what will make a sane person think FG is the reason industries are pouring to Ogun state when in fact the the FG and its centralized top-down corruption model is the reason Ogun isnt getting enough industries. Take for example the law that allows cornering of any large volume of Power generation by states into our ever decreasing national grid when the FG knows fully well the importance of power in industrialization. Infact the FG is the Number 1 force impeding the growth of state like Ogun state industrially. They are doing this by Forcing more progress minded states to share critical resources with the backward thinking ones. 2 Likes |

dolphinife: The Ogun state's industrialisation project has received a strong boost as thirty-five new firms have opened their production plants in the state's industrial estates in the last two years.Lagos State and Ogun State need to pursue a greater integration agenda. Two things that should happen urgently a joint Housing Strategy that will aim to house workers within the Lagos metropolis in Ogun State and perhaps further and a Transport strategy that will make this possible rail,road and air(creative thinking) The FG should consider a Container logistic centre in Ogun State; from a legislative perspective and the states should seek investors to actualize it. The idea is a rail link from the port shifting containers to Ogun state so that the owners and transporters never have to enter Lagos but go and clear them maybe in Sagamu.Potentially that link can be extended further. 2 Likes |

0mo-nna: There was a UN sponsored program in Nigeria which aimed to identify potential areas of development and funding which took census of industries in the areas of interest which included Ogun, Abia, Anambra and Kano. Abia emerged tops in small scale because of the shoe, bag and garment industry. I believe Ogun has that advantage of larger industries because of its proximity to the economic capital of Lagos. Abia also enjoys its place because it lies between Rivers and Akwa-Ibom States which are Nigeria's oil hub. |

Oga Gbawe, CyberG and other South Westerners, kindly let's talk about our land, her progress and her future as we have been doing. Massive industrialization is needed and I would like all the 6 states to intensify more on that aspect. All hands must be on deck to drive the region forward, as well as other regions in Nigeria too, but our first berth is Yorubaland. Is there any update of the Olokonla FTZ? Scanty information on that. Furthermore, I never knew anything about Oluyole FTZ until I saw something like that not long ago. Is there any info on that too? |

pullyacap: You misunderstand him. He is using sarcasm to mock those who say things that make no sense in the desperation to attach a worthless FG, by hook or by crook, with everything good being seen in Nigeria. Like Standing5 observed, the FG is nothing but an impediment in reality to the progress of serious States. 1 Like |

0mo-nna:I actually think every state in the SW should put up drive for industrialization. Kudos to the Ogun State governor on this one, and it would be good if Oyo, Ondo, Osun and Ekiti will also enhance the drive. The Lagos experience of today is highly discouraging, but our leaders should learn from it and open up the hinterlands in the region to push in even progress. |

The world is changing fast and if we do not integrate across West Africa we can never be a major player.How to make that happen is what a true visionary should be contemplating. Eastern states should be encouraged to integrate further with Cameroun.The Enugu Bamenda Road is an exciting opportunity and we need to think beyond Nigeria but this Western initiative is a step in the right direction.Still we cannot really prosper if Benin and Togo do not as Boko Haram demonstrate clearly. Just improving the road networks can double trade very quickly |

I think 14 years of "democracy" has shown serious administrators and analysts that the FG is a deliberate impediments to the progress of serious States and region. This is why the SW is trying to break the shackles of FG retrogression with regional integration and 'liberating' socio-economic policies and pursuits. |

There's general sense of intelligent prioritization going on in SW now. Ogun should be an industrial state and continue to raise her IGR. All states in SW should strive to raise IGR to the extent that Federal allocation, if any, becomes a bonus. The Ogun State Government said in Abeokuta on Friday that the state’s monthly internally generated revenue had increased from N750 million in 2011 to N3 billion in 2013.The Commissioner for Finance, Kemi Adeosun, said at a media briefing that the increase was as a result of the “ongoing financial engineering” in the state. Adeosun said the financial engineering began in 2011 when the Governor Ibikunle Amosun-led administration assumed office.http://theeagleonline.com.ng/news/oguns-igr-grows-from-n750m-to-n3b-in-two-years/ Kudos!!! |

The Party that has run the FG so far maybe but not the FG otherwise one would criticize Ogun State which was ruled by PDP for 8 years. Ogun State can surpass Lagos State if it starts to think like a business. Starts to cater to the needs of those that pass through the State bringing farm produce or imports from the ports .It has Land so think storage distribution. Sadly it is difficult to do much without electricity and that is a problem that must be cracked |

CyberG: Nice to see Ogun State taking a giant leap forward! Today, there was news that Lagos' IGR now has hit N 13 Tr ($87 B) . Oyo's GDP has always been second to Lagos in the SW and I hope they are massively pulling themselves ahead too, faster! I heard that Ekiti has now quadrupled its IGR too...really great news! I hope they can all with Osun and Ondo, move as a unit and as a people (regardless of political leadership) to liberate us entirely from the shackles of gradualism and slow leaving by the PDP, FG and other units of retrogression in the country.$87billion IGR? i hope its true. Whats your source? |

Good and commendable news I must say, but some of the informations contained in the original post is not totally true. May & Baker is not a new company in Ogun State. It has an ultra-modern pasta food-processing factory in Ota directly opposite the gate of Winners Chapel Headquarter along the Idiroko Exp Rd. The company commences operation during before the coming of Amosun, Mimee noodles and Lily Table Water are some of the products churned out from the plant. WEPCO Steel was commissioned recently by President Jonathan, but the construction and machines installation predated the coming of Amosun and I'm sure the commissioner, Bimbo Ashiru will not dispute this. Dangote Cement made inroad into Ogun State during the tenure of Chief Segun Osoba who ensured proper documentations of the space utilized by the company, bulk of the construction work took place during Gbenga Daniels. Amosun was only fortunate to do the commissioning. Ogun State has always been destination of choice to would-be investors from time immemorial, proximity to Lagos, with the air and sea port is a booster to this fact. Nestle Foods is about completing the largest plant in Nigeria at the Papalanto end of the Lagos-Sagamu interchange, this was made possible during Gbenga Daniel's tenure. Many companies are also at advance stage of completion and inasmuch as I will like to applaud the government for few strides taking so far in positioning the State as best destinations for investors, there should be a limit to how we play politics with some of the claims we peddled as facts. Thanks ... |
