Ttipsy: There's more to Lagos than the seaport. It's more or less the tech hub of Nigeria. Naija's version of California/ silicon valley. I'm not talking of computer village where people sell laptops, phones etc. It seems in Lagos, ideas can actually come into fruition and prosper and people can make something out of nothing. The fast paced nature of Lagos helps and I guess that's from years of conditioning that "Èkó ò gba gbèré" meaning no dulling for Lagos. Many other cities including Abuja are slower paced 1 Like |

That is why i always laugh very hard each time i hear people telling others to leave Lagos for their various state forgetting that Lagos was developed by federal government with public money.telling others to go means that you are invariably telling the federal government to visit every state and invest the same amount of money used in developing Lagos so as to make every state habitual for its inhabitants.any other State can tell others to leave certainly not Lagos or Abuja. 1 Like |

Igbosmoker: The FG sited the same airports and seaports in other states all over Nigeria. Air and seaports doesn't drive growth and economies because if so, the other states with seaports and airports should be thriving like Lagos state. Lagos is great economically because of industries and the major industrial estates located in Lagos built by Awolowo led Western Region from Ikeja industrial estate to Apapa, Ilupeju, Matori and Mushin industrial estates, and they are still the major industrial estates. Lagos as the federal capital of Nigeria was limited to Lagos Island, but many of you hear Lagos state and you see FG written all over it. 4 Likes |

NkayStory:Sea is a natural resource which Abuja does not have. Y’all talk about south south oil as if they were the one that put it in the soil then downplay Lagos port as if sea is not a natural resource like oil. Lagos is what it is because God blessed it with access to the sea which the north and south east do not have. 2 Likes |

plaindealer:Who informed you that Lagos Capital territory was limited to the Island. Stop this nonsense propaganda it won't fly. The British administered Lagos as well as post independence Lagos had it own territory which includes many areas. Go and study the history of Lagos post and pre independence before you spit those lies. For your information areas like Apapa, Lagos Mainland LGA, Yaba, Surulere, etc has always been part of the Lagos federal territory from day one. Had it's own Governor different from Awolowo's Western premiership. Areas like Ikeja, Badagry, Mushin, Epe, Ikorodu, Oshodi were the western regional sections ceeded by Awolowo to Gowon to create a post civil war modern Lagos state. Stop giving false information. 1 Like |

Only in Nigeria you see beggar regions complain about not getting as much as their benefactor state/region. It's like complaining about your working neighbor who has been splitting his/her salary with you to give you more than he/she takes. What about each region generates and keeps its revenues for development? Haah! The insane moochers won't like that, their lives depend on the very organized monthly begging set up in Abuja. |

NkayStory: You just displayed the crass foolishness iboes are known for. Seaports are not a natural resource. But seas are. Seaports are a products of seas. Same way oil drills in the niger delta. are a product of the oil. Sea is a natural resource. Oil is a natural resource. The oil in the niger delta took the fg a great investment to harness. If you brag about ss oil, Lagos should brag about its sea. The seaports in Lagos predates Nigeria. 4 Likes |

Forget about Lagos, south east has the lowest IGR in Nigeria, and the bulk of state IGR is generated from paye and withholding tax ie from biz activity in the states. North Central (N378.7 billion), North East (N351.5 billion), north-west N546.5 billion, south west excluding 376 while south-east only N340.1 billion. Funny enough the people of south east insults other zones especially the north and called us parasites, while as a zone they are the less productive zone in the country |

schoolboij: Oil sale proceeds was used to expand the existing tiny pre-independence port in Lagos to what it is now,enabling very large ships to berth with goods from all over the World.. Oil sale proceeds massively improved the Murtala Domestic and Intermational Airports... All these and so much more including the third Mainland bridge came about because Lagos was the Capital of Nigeria till the 90s. These necessitated a massive influx of people from all over,including expatriates..their businesses,technology and man-power in tow.. Secondly; Having a Sea is not the be-it and end-all be cause Botswana is a land-locked nation with a GDP and per-Capta-income Nigeria can only dream about...dont even get me started on Benin Republic(who has Sea shores) and Botswana. With enough political will,the River Niger can be dredged to accommodate large ships for imports and exports which is our forte.so it is not the end of the World for SE cos when this country breaks,we sure will not be using the stinky and chaotic shame called Lagos Sea-Port. Therefore you arguements holds no water,replying you further is a waste of time. 1 Like 1 Share |
