Shymm3xx:Well, i aint Igbo..and id say its nice of you to forgive. You're the troll king, so anyone best know to avoid you. ![]() |
Shymm3xx:Well said. There are too many emotionally riled up Nigerians. It isnt limited to Igbos tho. For fun, i told a Yoruba guy today that Lagos belong to the Binis and the Bini guy in our midst supported my positiom and the Yoruba guy almost exchanged blows while i watched in glee. Nigeria is rily fccked up. Even the very irrelevant of arguments usually stir up unbelievable emotions. If no tolerance, how do we forge ahead. Wish we could al just separate and form new countries. A fresh start for everyone could be all we need. |
Orikinla:So technically, Nigeria is impeding on Lagos growth. ![]() I dont know why i do not believe this report. I think the analyst failed to observe that Nigeria has literally put almost all her eggs in one basket, and that basket is Lagos. Lagos did not achieve its position without help from the FG. Its huge infrastructures were invested on it by the FG over a period of 30yrs and some govt policies have favoured her especially. Granted, Lagos proximity to the atlantic ocean has set it apart from Abj(another city with huge federal investment) but Lagos has no known natural resource and doesn't have the landmass for industrial agriculture or animal husbandry. Lagos only has proximity to the ocean, something half a dozen other states have. The writer failed to realise that Nigerias skewed system of governance cannot carry-on for long and when this system collapses and eventually gives way to true fiscal federalism, some monopolies and special treatment enjoyed by Lagos will cease and wealth will be more evenly distributed amongs the states who are currently being deprived by the unfortunate situation we find ourselves. Instead of actually rising, there may just be a decline in the growth forecasts of Lagos. Any growth forcast done when the correct system is in place can actually be considered to be real. Else, every forecast is lopsided, and therefore unsustainable. |
moupe:You are a very excellent troll. Pls pity the Igbos, as any thing Ojukwu is very close to their hearts. |
Some dunderheads will claim to have not seen the obvious. The biggest challenge posed by the growth of Lagos and the consolidation of an enormous, sub-regional economic zone around it, however, is not to the city's minuscule neighbors. Rather, it is to Nigeria's continued existence as a unitary nation. arresa and aigbofa, what does the bolded mean. |
