OP, kindly add the Traffic of lagos to ur envy list..

Lagos remains the hub of economy of Nigeria.

The western states are very accommodating to people and business!! Lagos most of all, hence why some people mistake it for no man's land

Lagos the pride of South Western Nigeria region, Lagos the pride of the yoruba race. I'm a proud lagosian a proud awori.

PresVA:
How would other states have employment opportunities when it's only Lagos that has good sea ports?

Once other states are developed, employment opportunities will spring up. .

The sea port is the major reason here that is why land luck countries always suffer

Phack lagos

U,

Get your facts right, Rivers state generates more revenue to the government than Lagos. If there was true federalism, Rivers state would've been light years ahead of Lagos.

deebsman1:
FACT. Because 80% of Nigeria revenue is generated there, it controls 80% of Nigeria's economy....honestly, Lagos deserves a special status, if we want to really be a serious country, we need to recognize the heart of our nations economy and protect and develop it more. Lagos, even after 24yrs years of relocation of d capital is still thriving and developing, showing no signs of slowing down, at all. Activities going on in just Marina, V/I and Ikoyi alone surpasses activities going on at Maitama, Wuse, Asokoro, Garki and all central ABJ, added together....look at it from any sense of human endeavor you'd like to look at it.

Lolzz, na blessings I wan carry come give una o'jare

Population is another factor. We have tons of other states that have access to the sea also.

The monster city.

Haters please suck some petrol

Truth be told, despite all the economical advantages Lagos have over other states in Nigeria, Lagos state has been the most fortunate state with the best of Governors from Mobolaji Johnson to the likes of Lateef Jakande, Buba Marwa, Bola Tinubu [hate him or like him, Fashola only continued from where he stopped, taking it to another level]and Fashola himself.

These great administrators especially the ones in recent times are largely responsible for Lagos still taking the lead despite the relocation of the Federal capital to Abuja. Lagos is just so fortunate with the best of Governance.

The same Lagos wey dey like say them curse? Every penny you earn in Lagos ends in Lagos.

If u move half of d activities frm d apapa sea port to another state, dat state will become anoda centre of excellence. Apapa port wch is d gateway to 9ja's economy z d major reason y lagos is still standing out

manny4u:
Despite the 'hard knock' life in the centre of excellence, Lagos state still stands out as the land of opportunities, have been taking survey of all the vacant placements here on Nairaland since December and I must confess that 80 percent of the job opportunities are in Lagos state, while the others share the remaining 20percent including our 'so called' FCT where I reside.

That's commendable I must confess whatever lagos is doing that's working for them in terms of employment other states should take a cue.
N/B Am not saying there is no unemployment in Lagos but it better compared to other states.

you may have a point, but Governance is key as states like Enugu and Anambra has seen improvements in recent times due to the kind of Governors they have had also in recent times.

Most states have bad Governors simple. Ogun state has seen improvements, its all about Governance as every state has its own economical advantage

when can nigerians stop the use of south west south east and just say am glad am nigerian why always the division,to be be honest am already sick of it u can predict the development news on nairaland of any state always come up with division and hatred being displayed AFRICANS GROW UP.

izutex007:

coolhamid:
Lagos state is over hyped...
I have lived and worked in kano and Lagos state, if not because of the insurgency plaguing most northern states, I will always choose Kano over Lagos anytime anyday...

Because of such peace of mind, you'll always choose Lagos ahead of other states.

Lolz. If there's true Federalism, Rivers would NEVER be like Lagos. Even though there is oil in Rivers, the attitude of the society there will ensure Lagos attitudes will always ensure its a hub.

Lagos is nigeria...so if u r not here you aare in aa remote bush in nigeria..

Lagos has been the nerve centre of commerce in nigeria since the 19th century. Most of the biggest coys have their head offices here, so yes its where the most opportunities are. Though you can get rich any whr in nigeria but lagos makes it look so easy. Though I muse add that it can be very stressful cos of traffic and too many criminals and touts evrywhr. Eko o ni baje o!

One of the reasons that Lagos is so successful is that Lagos is one of the few states in the Federation that gives everyone a chance of success irrespective of where you come from. Secondly, businesses get the chance to choose the best people ( I agree this doesnt happen in every case), the gene pool is simply bigger than elsewhere. This is a feature in cities/states such as New York, London and California. Diversity really does lead to excellence.

There's no sentiments involved and I'm not from Rivers state either. But if there was true Federalism, Rivers revenue would've been light years ahead of Lagos.
