I think he's trying to say that there aren't 10 developed local areas or even one outside of Lagos. Debatable, however it bothers me that almost all current investment, including private investment, is directed towards Lagos when the country needs more regional economic hubs. Part of the reason that Lagos is overrun and overpopulated is this mentality. If more investment could be directed towards Aba, Port Harcourt, Kaduna, Maiduguri, Jos, Ibadan etc you would see more growth across the country and fewer people running to one single city. Some of this is out of anyone's hands since you cannot force private investors to go where they don't see a return on investment. But you can invest government funds in different regions in order to make those regions more attractive so that the private sector can finish the job. Look at what China did by with their regional economic zones. It could be said that there were only three economic hubs in that country twenty years ago and two of them weren't even technically part of China. Now Hong Kong will have to soon fight just to remain among China's top ten investment destinations. I like the project in Eko Atlantic, for example, but a similar project elsewhere would help Nigeria more.

At any rate, I'm glad that the OP is proud of his state, but how about wishing for the country's growth, the uplifting of a nation that can be an example for all of Africa. It would not only aid Nigeria, but ease the congestion in Lagos as well.

lol, You said MAIDUGURI, MAYBE AFTER BOKO HARAM

The problem with nigeria is that our state governors are some of laziest people on the planet, they just collect salaries and allowances, for a state to develop it needs a masterplan and i havent seen any governor with any form of idea for a blueprint to propel his state forward. I believe in Nigeria the federal government should only be concerned with monetary and foreign policies, healthcare, education and national security. Every other thing should be taken care by the state government. But that is my opinion though

8.Calabar municipal - A moderately dense LGA in Cross rivers state , it is known for its green reserves with large percentage of it land area reserve for green space, The roads are well paved, paving way for easy bike rides which makes it carbon emissions impressive with better air quality. Calabar tinapa, Obudu cattle range resorts are nice torrist attraction.
It a popular destination for enjoying beach games, forest walk, mountain sports and other resorts.
Can we find the the things in bold in Calabar Municipal, I don't think so.

Fair list. Bonny LG is rich due to NLNG Plant in Bonny. Apart from NLNG Residential Area and a small part of Finima town, the other parts of Bonny are majorly rural comprising of mainly fishing villages, also it is not all parts of Bonny LG that have 24hr electricity. Pls remove that picture of Obio/Akpor showing road/flyover interchange because that place is not Port Harcourt.
The OP just came and painted obio-akpor as paradise and then put pictures of Port Harcourt lga.

Only a return to fiscal federalism/resource control will guarantee the decongestion of Lagos and Abuja as these two cities were not as developed as any of the regional capitals before Ironsi came with his wicked and self-serving Unification Decree.

Lagos was initially not so privileged. The dismantling of our federalism in the first republic led to the overconcentration of the economy on Lagos being the centre to which all revenues became directed at the death of federalism/resource control in 1966.

from ur ascertions and op ascertion,i can see that u two are wrong......ikeja is by far the richhest region in nigeria.tho,its not the most developed,but its the most industrial region in nigeria....the GDP of eti osa is twice lesser than ikeja GDP

You're probably right. The thing is we don't know the criteria use by the OP. If it's natural resources I bet u some abandoned community somewhere in akwa ibom would top that list. If it's IGR Obia Kpor or Eti Osa may top the list but if it's Infrastructure wise in relation to resident population. That list would have to be tossed out the window entirely

That's one angle. In looking at development or the extent of development of a place you have to consider the active income of the people there, infrastructure, social services, roads, utilites etc.

Most of this lists on Nairaland only recycle info from blogs and all that. There's no way Obia Kpor is developed in my eye

9.Ibadan North west - Situated in the center of the cocoa belts, in Oyo state it's one of the first class developing regions in the country with the first skyscraper, first television station in the whole of tropical Africa. The first railway line in Nigeria the Lagos-Ibadan rail ends here in 1901. It is the economic hub for Oyo state with notable business going in the LGA with some numbers of tall buildings. It has a good number of housing estates. With most of the roads well tarred.
really. Ibadan north west get money... ahdontbilivit

you are right my brother, the truth is all investors seek healthy and enabling environments. Dango originally wanted to build his refinery in the Niger Delta region, because of the unrest there he moved it to lagos.
Shell is also planning of moving out of Niger Delta.
Mobil, one of the highest paying oil company defy FG's demand to move from lag.
Same with Kaduna, you can only find food processing coy in Jos co of its proximity to raw material.
Lagos provides that environment for biz to grow.

Obio akpor the area with most of these oil business firms, ranks they are shorting. Honestly if most of this oil business men does not make Lagos their hub they are in Obio akpor. It hard to invest in infrastructurally deterred region. That why I don't like those degrading Obio akpor

Eti Osa is definitely the first in Nigeria by all indicators but Ibeju Lekki should NOT make the list. Ibeju Lekki can qualify for developING LGA.
