If you remove Ikeja, the other developed parts of Lagos were part of the Lagos Federal Territory set up by the Colonialist and Federal Govt pre-1976

napoleon77:


This argument is derailing.

Are we talking about the whole of the state or you want us to talk about only the developments of the parts of Lagos that were never part of the original Lagos Federal Territory and Colony?

talkofnaija:
I am not surprised, a state that has the major airport station in the country, a state where major multinational companies are house, an oil producing state, a state which is overpopulated and the gov't decided decided to use tax as a means of generating revenues, a state where almost everything has a value added cost on goods and service. If a state has all these characteristics and it's backward, then that state should be questioned based on it monthly cash flow .

The location of Lagos is in no doubt at good advantage to it development.

I won't deny the fact that Lagos have numerous advantages due to the location of lndustries all over it land mass, but I will also say the truth by applauding the present and past government on their viable policies toward the moving forward of Lagos.

Lagos is everyone's state just as Abuja is everyone's capital.

napoleon77:


So you now resort to insults if you can't make a mature argument in a public forum?

napoleon77:


Get your facts right! Lagos (the state where I was born and have paid taxes before I relocated) has been apart from other areas in Nigeria for over a century.

Lagos was the first part of Nigeria to become a British Colony. In 1861.

Lagos has been capital of Nigeria in one form or the other for over a hundred years. Long before the FG moved to Abuja in 1991 (not too sure of the year).

The gap that Lagos has over other states and regions in Nigeria can't be attributed to recent governments or political parties.

The British Colonialist ruled over Lagos from 1861 to 1960- 99 years! Longer than they even ruled over Nigeria.

Lagos ìs the most developed place in Nigeria BUT not because of any recent state govt or political party.

Who built the 3 mainland bridges? Who built Ikoyi and VI? Who made multinationals come to Lagos? All these happened decades before all this PDP, AC, ACN, APC and even NPN and UPN issues.

aribisala0:
illiterate is a descriptive not an insult. You posted a screen shot as evidence when it contradicts you.so clearly you have a literacy challenge. If not totally illiterate

ozoebuka1:

napoleon77:


This is an error many people keep making about the face-off between Tinubu and OBJ.

The FG during the final years of OBJ's tenure did not withhold Lagos State Govt allocations. What was withheld were the allocations of funds due to the LGA's in the state. So it's wrong to say the state govt survived without allocations from the Federation Account. It was the Local Govt Authorities that were denied allocations.

RockHard:


Guy, you seem to have comprehension issues. I don't know what your grouse is with Lagos, but stick to the topic calm the fvck down. In anycase you sound pained and are talking crap. We are talking about IGR here. Why not use google to spare yourself unnecessary embarrassment. Google is your friend you know? As at 1999, when Tinubu became governor of Lagos, the state annual IGR was a paltry N15-billion naira and the state was practically bankrupt. Read about Tinubu he increased that IGR to N60-billion.

http://pointblanknews.com/pbn/articles-opinions/tinubu-meet-the-pathfinder-for-the-development-of-lagos/

Today Ambode has increased the state IGR to N300-billion annually.

Whether you accept it or not, Lagos of today didn't just happen. No. It experienced deterioration and abandonment after it stopped being capital since 1991 -- more than a quater of a century ago. It took quality, focused and visionary leadership to resurrect and rejuvinate her.

napoleon77:


You are a funny person!

I won't act like you and call you illiterate.

How does my screenshot contradict me? Do you still insists that only 2 or 3 LGAs and not the whole state was capital of Nigeria until 1991?

aribisala0:


The plan was for Lagos to decay. Look at the stadium federal secretariat and so on.
Without vision and leadership we would have been singing another song

Truth is Laos is better than ever before

aribisala0:
absolutely not the whole state. Clearly you are ignorant. No educated Nigeria would say Lagos state was capital

Ogene001:

Lagos extension into ogun should be carved out and joined to Lagos, Ogun should show us what they have achieved in abeokuta. any slight shifting of this boundary will have ogun behind ekiti

Standing5:
No need for the premature chest-beating, Can Lagos survive without allocation?

napoleon77:
I don't seem to understand how some people take my views out of context and how someone I thought I was having an intelligent argument with will turn and say I am illiterate. But let's leave that.

My argument has always been that Lagos is the most developed part of Nigeria. Yes. But you can't attribute that development to recent govts in Lagos.

The Lagos State Govt official website even clearly acknowledges the part Colonialist, the Federal Govt, the economic boom of the 60s and 70s etc played in developing the colony, Federal Territory and State.

Basic123:
That is why I always say that,lagos being the formal capital never contribute anything to its present greatness.The city is just destined to be great courtesy of the fact that it is the only state that escaped from military rule after 1999 (The party with the military wing).

Had it being lagos has been ruled by PDP all this why,lagos will not be different from Aba or even worse.
