So because he's Yoruba, Lagos will be the third largest in africa. How about making the entire Nigerian economy the third largest in the world? Let's pack everything and put in Lagos so that tomorrow when Lagos breaks out to form her own country, Nigeria will be back to square one.

Omo , na you done dey bring Biafra come this simple matter o. Because you carry inferiority complex like badge.

Make I ask you , who dash Omo oduduwa Lagos? If na una develop Lagos why una no fit replicate am in the other 5 Yoruba states?

Lagos like LA, New York, London, Johannesburg, MIAMI will always be 100 % cosmopolitan cities .

We wish Portharcourt, Kaduna, Enugu, Calabar will arrive at same status as Lagos and create multilevel economic mini hubs in Nigeria.

People always hiding their failures in tribal bigotry!

you are indirectly telling other tribes to go back home after developing lagos. And to make you happy, its gradually happening. Even people that are not from lagos are talking. The real lagosians are very accomodating not these attaches by force claiming lagosians and that is why we don't give a hoot about your opinion. The real lagosians don't like to associate with you guys cos you don't think alike.

Because even with its so called economy on the rise,its infrastructures and majority of its inhabitants are still in the dark age.

The growth of an economy is inevitable as long as there are mouths to feed,structures to build,lives to save,streets to pave/clean,and so on and so forth.

Baba,leave Lagos alone and make your state work,if Bola Hamed Tinubu have been selfish as u were during his tenure, u wouldn't av deem it fit of liasing with the good work of Lagos today....Baba,I think is high time you explain to Nigerians why you sold the only national airline in Nigeria to your ally,Nigerians also want to know how you acquire your farm in Ota (which was formally set up to feed the whole nations),we also want to know one good thing you have contributed both to Lagos and Ogun state.I think is high time you apologise to the westerners and stop claiming the good work of those that has vision.God bless Nigeria,God bless Lagos state,God bless Asiwaju and his entire generation.

This Iidiot claiming Lagos is manageable today because of the Yoruba race or Tinubu.

Everybody knows non indigenes made Lagos what it is. When the only seaport existing in this so called country is Located in Lagos.Other seaport in the South are in shambles.

Why is it that other Sw States are Useless.




Who told you that other SW states are useless?

I guess lagos is the only southwest state you have visited or lived.
Close your shop and take a trip to Ogun, Ibadan and Akure. What you will see will cure your ignorance.

Even Ekiti that is the youngest state in the SW is striving fast compared to zamfara, Jigawa, Ebonyi and Bayelsa that were created the same time.

Dont just sit in your shop to showcase your ignorance.

All the active Seaports in Lagos belongs to the federal government.

The one Lagos State is building for over 5 yearsat Akodo, got the approval of the federal government.

The coastal area and seashores are controlled by the federal government.

Lagos to Nigeria is like Dubai to uae . So many tourist both local and international . Center of commerce and business. No matter how other states work they will still be second to Lagos. Its never a crime to be second. Lagos already has BRT , planning to have metro trains, stadiums, hospitals , well recognise university, international airport , national theatre and so on. Am not a native of lag. But i must accept the fact that lagos will be a model of development for other s/w states .

keep quiet , this is a thread of comparism between ogun state and ebony state infrastructural development...

Ebony state is infrastructurally more developed than the whole of SW minus Lagos....

I know.
Getting approval is easy.

The only way sea port can be in that state is through the state government collaboration with the investors.

The Federal government would never build such thing. The kind of so called leaders.

He lacks the moral basis to say this -
1. As President he withheld the fiscal allocation due LAGOS State.
2. As President he left the Lagos-Sango-Otta Road in a pitiable state. Sango-Otta is a major industrial hub abutting Lagos State.
3. As President for 8 years he left Lagos-Ibadan Expressway in a parlous state. That road is key to the economic wellness of Nigeria and indeed Lagos.
Obasanjo is a contradiction in terms.

At the bolded: Americans and/or Britons are synonymous with Nigerians not Yoruba.

All commercial hub cities, headquarter-cities have a price to pay for its riches: they lose their identity to an extent.

Ask the British about London. We pray not just Enugu, but all potential hub cities in Nigeria grow like lagos.

Nigeria will be better for it.

This is a very stoopid and uninformed comment. Do you know the status of Lagos in Nigeria?. Why would any Nigerian be jealous of Lagos?. We are talking of Lagos here, not Ogbomosho or Ibadan. We cannot be jealous of a city owned by all of us. We all, Igbo, Hausa, Edo, Waffi, Calabar etc own Lagos.

Lagos is NOT a Yoruba city or state. You simply have proximity and affinity more than other tribes. The status of Lagos will be clear to you the day any tribal Governor starts any anti Nigerian move there. How many Yoruba's own property at Banana Island?.
