Real country with real States with real gdp with a real economy. Not Nigeria that will close all ports n allow only one state to have ports n grow her GDP n IGR to be bigger than that of 27 Nigerian states combined together. |

unite4real: Nah, California aren't same with the Lagos case. Lagos economy is bigger than that of many African countries because other ports in Nigeria were all closed forcefully to allow only Lagos ports to be active. If Nigeria opens calabar, rivers, delta n anambra ports today, Lagos revenue will crash within a few weeks |

This assertion is debatable, and holds no water imo. The fact is Nigerian leaders are very lazy and self serving hence they always tow the path of least resistance; focusing on HERE, NOW and the PRESENT ; just like in this Lagos Ports case. For them, Lagos is easier to manage. It is safe and free from restiveness. Lagos also has the population to consume the highest chunks of imports, hence nearness to the market. This is synonymous with what happens with Kano, where all the imports through the Northern Nigeria borders first goes before it’s offloaded into the markets and then transported back to the border towns as sales orders. These are purely business decisions by concerned stakeholders. Most of our leaders are not known for long term vision or diversification. Awolowo- yes. Others I’m not too sure... Those nations that are doing well today had great leaders with far reaching visions. They were very fortunate! PrecisionFx: 1 Like |

Constantiney: I'm forced to comment. I didn't know someone would make a comment similar to what I have in mind about Lagos in Nigeria. For me, Lagos is a sinking ship, which will collapse sooner or later. There is nothing to be proud about Lagos being the the major and only economic center of the nation. Every Tom, D!ck, and Harry heads south for a greener pastures (graduates, undergraduates, literates, illiterates, old and young, even children unborn)! Everything with mega economic importance has a root in the center of excellence. Lagos - a state with such small land mass accommodates the highest population than any state in Nigeria. Funny enough, everywhere has unlimited resources; at the rate folks emigrate to Lagos daily, the state will get to a point where it can't allow in even a dog. Then the bubble will burst. Then, Nigeria will see the woe she brought upon herself. United States doesn't have California alone. She has a lot of mini-cali in Texas, Chicago, etc. How many mini-Lagos does Nigeria has? Everyday I pray nothing dreadful happens in Lagos because the casualty will be devastating. Nigeria is not spreading her risk and the economic strength is too centralized in a small land. Lagos can spread her wings across or into the Atlantic. The population and resources depletion will catch-up with her. We should be worried about Lagos State in Nigeria. 2 Likes 1 Share |

PrecisionFx: you have come with this baseless argument again Did they tell you that the ports are not working in the delta? Even if all the ports work up to fill capacity, Lagos revenues will not still take a dive too much, because the FG collects the revenues from the ports. Lagos is just blessed to be positioned where they are, that's all, and with the advantage of being former fct too, and attracting top talent from across Nigeria and even some other countries in Africa Give honor to whom it's due, dasall 2 Likes |

9gerian: exactly my point the NPA is not ready to invest a lot of money to upgrade some of the other ports, after all that are all there to steal So they use the functional one they met on ground, and milk it. Lagos is the nerve centre of Nigeria, and the conurbation should have spread into ogun state as well, but just like every where in black Africa, the leaders don't think long term at all. There should have been multiple routes between Lagos and Ogun States, and even within Lagos, most of the goodies shouldn't have been concentrates on a small island Lack of planning killed this country 2 Likes |

Ugosample: "" Give honor to whom it's due, dasall "" Where is the honour in closing down over 5 ports in eastern nigeria n allowing only Lagos ports to import n export products to and from a nation of over 150 million people Most parts of sapele port has been converted to a naval base. Onne port was converted to a naval base by Obasanjo. Burutu port is moribund, courtesy of Dem dem. warri port is moribund. Calabar port is inactive. Onitsha river port has been left to rot. "" Lagos is just blessed to be positioned where they are "" This is a very stupid statement n can only come from someone who missed education n attended only schooling. |

PrecisionFx: the geographic position of Lagos is one of its biggest advantages Being a former fct ialso added to it's advantages Lagos being Lagos is not about the ports, that's what you guys don't get you sound like one of my uncles who keep shouting that "Nigeria is keeping us down" bullcrap reviving the ports will nit scratch Lagos much really because you think up to 20% of the population in Lagos will just move eastward because of the ports? you are tripping Kano is up north, has access to no port, yet more populous and prosperous than any state in the South minus Lagos So go find another excuse 3 Likes 2 Shares |

That's why we need technocrats, innovators in every sphere of our national life. Nigeria still have tremendous potentials to be a great and advanced nation. Huge opportunity abound it is just the ability to put it into right use. Nothing more nothing less. Knowing what it takes to build a prosperous nation. I say it is achievable, but it requires the right personels and perspectives. |

Enough of the compare my solution to agriculture challenge is to set up a company with the local government having 50% control the state 30% and federal 20%. Let $2billion be withdrawn from our savings and shared equally amon all the local governments of the federation but the local government won't be given the liquid cash, the cash should be used to purchase Morden farming equipments and shared to all local government offices of the company. The purchase process will involve sending people from all local government for training on how to maintain the new equipments and the manufacturer setting up assembly plants in all geopolitical zones. The company is tasked with the responsibility of leasing equipments to farmers at a cost and maintaining these equipments. If a state doesn't want to farm they can partner with other states by leasing their equipment and deciding on a payment deal. This idea is to accommodate food multiplication only. |
