Calabar port was used by the Easterners then till it was closed down for only Lagos. Get your facts straight. Lagos was the longest serving capital of Nigeria not for Yoruba land. Awolowo collected nothing.

Calabar was once the capital ,so what happened.
That of Calabar was short lived.

You dont expect the LONGEST SERVING CAPITAL in the history of Nigeria like Lagos not to make more money than other states, even with a toddler as Governor or a looter like Tinubu as Governor the businesses, importation and companies in Lagos will still keep the cash flowing. What did Yorubas do to add to Lagos revenue? or is there steady power in Lagos today or pipe borne water today in Lagos that can be accredited to the sitting Governors in the state? As for the cash flow it has always been so for Lagos due to its positioning by the Federal Government and the viability of the port made possible by the Igbo importers.

What has Togo got to do with Nigeria and the Lagos revenue issues here.
Water can be dredged OK. Rivers, Calabar, Delta and AkwaIbom can get to that status if Federal Government wants to.

The brain power that administer the state cannot be compared with what you have down in the east.we practiced regional government for 14 years ,the igbos could not compete or do anything meaningful.it was that jealousy that lead to coups.all the taxes generated in Lagos does not belong to the Lagos State govt,it belongs to the federal government.lagos started to generate income from 600million to 40billion because obj seized the federal allocation meant for it for 10months.

My friend I see you as a chronic liar. Which coup are you talking about. Igbos have never been jealous of anyone, the same way Igbos are doing well in Lagos and yorubas are envious of them are feel threatened?
or is it not the same regional government that made Enugu brighter than Oyo state or which other regional government?
Your brain power never allowed you to develop Oyo state like Enugu even as Oyo was the capital of the old western region and not Lagos, instead you people now looked to Lagos to grab it, why the shift of interest from Oyo to Lagos if not for the singular fact that you people like anywhere that is shining at the moment which was made possible from other people's effort and sweat.

It's a known fact that is well documented,igbos we're the first coup plotters that derailed the regional system ,igbos through ironsi introduced the unitrary system that destroyed the country till date.it was to capture power and control the rest of the country ,it was selfish,wicked and dishonesty.

You are talking nonsense about raising revenue from 600million to 40billion as i f that's an achievement, when Lagos was at 600million what was the revenue of other States then??
Even New York and California have also increased revenus over the years that doesn't take away the fact that it was positioned from origin to earn higher than other states in the US..

It requires creative thinking to run and increase revenues.you southeastern states wait for the federal money from VAT,Oil and gas,nimasa,faan,educational taxes,technogy taxes,customs before you could pay salaries and do projects .so 600milion to 40billion is not a joke when compared to you people waiting for handout.

Lagos ports was built by the then military governments..
If the same amounts and level of efforts put in Lagos are replicated in states like Rivers, Yoruba land as a whole would have been a dung hill cos you people now leverage off Lagos because of its nearness to your states.

My friend keep quiet, you increase Money with money if you dont know. Lagos has always been a place of opportunity from time immemorial with big money more that any state in the country from day one, even without a Governor in the state people will still do their business even more efficiently cos the Governments of the day in Lagos state are highly clueless despite the huge amount of money pouring into the state from time immemorial.

Let's leave Lagos now and use ogun state another Yoruba states.it still generates more money than all the eastern states added together,it has the largest concentration of industries at once in one place,paying and contributing 20% to the national purse and that money is shared and you states in the east receive the money.they have people that think and create,innovate and strategize ,not South easteners.they have brain power .

Ogun state's development was orchestrated by the congestion of Lagos, who would have believed that "Ojodu beggar" is Ogun State and not Lagos, so the closeness to Lagos paid off. I am asking you why is ancient Oyo that Awolowo made capital of Yorubaland not better that its Eastern counterpart, can you answer that??
