Tell the fg to put an international airport and seaport in the east and ss and the population of Lagos will reduce. Many people trooping to Lagos to do their business was because of lack of federal present in their region.

PointZerom:


I said it yesterday that I have never in my life seen Buhari give any intellectual lecture. I can't really say what he has achieved in his life as a man, has he ever created job opportunity in Nigeria through his establishments?. I only know him as a runaway student and dictector. PITY.

PointB:



My opinion.

Government is wise. Put everything in Lagos, and let us all empty our villages, towns, and other cities into Lagos! We've been asking for International Airport, Seaports, and other facilities in SE for ages, but some politicians want everything to revolve around Lagos. As far as every meaningful economic resources (Seaports, Airports, Embassies, Head Offices) are skewed towards Lagos, so would the people. Lagos may grow, and burst, but people will do as the government policy dictates; people will continue to migrate.

Hence, Chinedu and Chidi are on the way to Lagos tomorrow with their families, I'm sure Musa and Yaya are also on their way in similar fashion.

That's how successive government wanted it. So be it!

Doncharis:
Mr.Duke you used that word 'collapse' wrongly,population increase cannot collapse an economy rather it will mount pressure on social amenities.Check the law of geometric progression.What we need is diversification,duplicating an economic hub like lagos will release the population inflow.

You people, once somebody lied to you, you swallow it hook, line and sinker . Who told you Buhari was not educated.

Even the US government under Obama confirmed that Buhari had an equivalent of Masters degree with them in the military.

Some of you who are badmouthing the President can't even speak half of his English.

GoldNiagara:



So what does Lagos has to do with a boy at idp camp without a father, yet this one wants to be a president, can't even talk coherently.

Rotimik:

We need to open up other states.

We need massive construction of roads and railways.

We need to dredge the ports outside of Lagos to make them more functional. The ports as they are cannot bert big ships.

FG and states should build industrial parks in each state with good roads and electric power supply.

Efforts should be increased on the parts of FG and states to ramp up agricultural production.

This will reduce migration to Lagos.

stanluiz:
If there is seaports and international airports in se cities like onitsha and aba and note that there are commercial cities in the east the population of the igbos in Lagos because no need of going to Lagos again to do their business when they have economic infrastructures in their region.

IamPatriotic:
Duke, you're a State Governor for 8 years, please sir, what did you do in that state to prevent Lagos from collapsing? Talk is cheap, they say,so talk on.

TheKingIsHere:


Population increase can lead to so many other things that lead to economic collapse of a state, so Mr Duke is correct.

One thing about us is that we dont take warnings seriously until its too late.

Recently, the lagos state governor was complaining about the 50% that the FG takes from its tax and shares to other states. This too will have implications in the nearest future.

Ans since we have a president who cant think outside the box, Lagos will be greatly hit.

MrMystrO:


He was trying to point out that since most of Nigeria is still underdeveloped and The North Especially Gradually becoming uninhabitable due to the Security crisis over there, More and more people are trooping into Lagos on a yearly basis in search of greener pastures and that would Really put alot of extra weight (Probably more than it can handle) on the economy Of Lagos Unless something is Done to Stop that trend. Hope you Understand Now. Have a lovely day.

Habyz:

I'm writing this with due respect to your person, I think your opinion is wrong, Lagos State has been APC led for a long time and Nigeria has been PDP led. The government has frustrated them through funds release and they have been hard at work so it is not fair to blame anyone for the progress.

PointB:
Donald mind yourself oo.

While we are encouraging our displaced Benue cowmen to come and join the hassle in Lagos, you are predicting doom.

Nothing dey shele bro.

Lasgidi will take us all without shaking. At least I don't have to travel hundreds of miles to an Embassy or use the International Airport or seaport. All I need to do is live in Lagos!

You can't even spell ordinary DICTATOR, but here you are, criticising a man of Buhari's stature. Get wisdom so you can live long

Danladi7:


.All you want is for Nigeria to
just split like Catalonia wants to do with spain just because GEJ lost an election and buhari won.

Igbo people self


Buhari can't spend More than 4-8years !

mamaafrik:
and what makes you think the South-southern and southern eastern governors can't form a power bloc and integrate economically,i mean jointly putting infrastructure like ,rails,roads,seaports,bridges school,why can't they what the likes of AMOSUN is trying to do, taking advantage of boxing Lagos to the sea instead of giving flipant excuses,they should all stop that silly Ego of "we developed lagos and Nigeria"and get to work,if you are not faithful with a Kobo,will you be with 10 Naira??And we shout all day.,Tinubu would have cried "yee mokuoooo" during the days of F.G'S starvation but he thought outside the box and today,now his successors are basking and improving on it,when will every villages in Nigeria be represented in In East and south-south,if given mantle of leadership today,who are the ones that will stand tall amongst those Governor to take Mantle?.less of Cry,more of WORK Biko.

laudate:

Onne port is in the SS, while Akanu Ibiam International Airport Enugu is in the SE.

deomelo:



There an international airport in the SE and you don't have any sea so you can not have any sea port.

Btw, other state governors are building their own airports and sea ports so what is wrong with your own incompetent and lazy governors with no vision and foresight building their own too instead of crying and begging the FG for everything?

Or the noise about the smart, the richest and the most industrious SE are just lies and rubbish?


Funny.

How about the seaport at Onitsha
