Powerintoxicate:
you crazy. Lagos can survive without the FG if Nigeria dissolves today. Infact FG stopped allocation s for four years to Lagos and Lagos survived. Question is can Abuja survive without a federal allocation today ??

NGpatriot:





The FG built Lagos state even though Lagos state was already built and was a bustling commercial capital before Nigeria as a country, already industrial via industrial estates built by the Western region like Apapa industrial, Ikeja, Ilupeju, Matori and Mushin industrial estates.

Even when Lagos was the federal capital, it was limited to Lagos Island.

Some of you no dey talk with sense and education sha.

swtdrms:
Julius started with standard! Eko bridge is still standing till date.

Even though this bridge was constructed 55years ago, the design doesn't look ancient, that's why i always respect for those who extra mile to achieve spectacular success.

Kudos to Julius Berger!

Abiboss:


If Nigeria split today... So lagos will go with Biafra bah

NGpatriot:




They will uproot Lagos and Abuja and load them on top trailer to transport them to onisha when they get their village biafra.

Firstly Lagos can survive because over 70 years investment by all Nigerians ...it's not a Yoruba thing ....in the next 30 years Abuja would survive without federal allocation it's not a northern project


Secondly there was never a time Lagos State allocation was withheld never ...it was local government allocation and it has happened to bayelsa too ...when u create local government without federal approval that's what u get .....

There is internet verify lies they told ...no body they believe Yoruba propaganda again

phoenix911:



I know you have sense and you attained the highest educational level there is, but the reality is if Lagos was not built with the collective wealth of the federal republic of Nigeria Lagos will be like any other state in Nigeria that is the fact.
If I may ask, In what year did Lagos became the capital of Nigeria and I thought with all the sense and education you had, you would have known that Lagos became the capital in 1914 Please and research what was the federal government put on the ground after then you will argue with facts. You said the federal government was limited to Lagos Island, I hope you answer these questions for me, If it was limited just in the Island what was the airport, Police college, Immigration, doing in Ikeja, the national theater, Apapa port, the national stadium, trade fair, festac, university of Lagos, where are they located, and how many kilometers of roads in Lagos are federal roads. If you don't know, the majority of "famous" bridges, roads, and flyovers were all built by the federal government.

What people do not understand is that Nigeria is a country that lacks structure and is bedeviled with tribalism. A serious country will have functioning ports in all states on the Atlantic coast. China has 34 main ports and 2000 minor ports around the country. Calling the achievement of Lagos, a Yoruba effort is like a slap to all Nigerians that fought the Civil war. Because Lagos is a brainchild of Nigeria. It is Nigerian pet project. It housed many companies and parastatals brought by Nigerians from different parts of the country. It is even mediocre that Lagos is not even near Kigali in terms of development despite all the money poured in to its economy. Lagos is just the financial hub of Africa cos of efforts of Nigerians.Do u think 21 million ppl living in a small place like Lagos is healthy? The Nigerian government has failed to diversify the economy across various regions. The United States has California as the tech state, New York as financial, Massachusetts as education, Texas as agriculture, Miami as tourism, and other states to a degree.

Tycyborg:
There was never a Nigeria before we have zonal leaders which are great Zic, Awolowo and tafawa balewa Mr Man, like I said there is no Nigeria build Lagos.

mrvitalis:

Lagos was built by Nigeria ...all major project was carried out by the federal government 3rd mainland bridge to the airport to the seaport

Yoruba claiming Lagos is like north claiming Abuja

If yorubas was hospitable as they want us to believe ...none yorubas would full ibadan ,abiokuta and other yoruba cities but that's not the case

Lagos is Nigerian project and that's a fact

Tycyborg:
Out know nothing. The Briton bulit most of it and all others are not excuse because other states can build it. In PH we have nice structures and even a Civic centres we can build others too but we are too blind to see that our state government are useless. The trains are done by the britons and those trains were used to move coals and other stuff to the ships on sea and that was how more things started getting huge like infrastructure and so on by the Briton residing because they wanna feel at home while in Lagos. The military era did next to nothing and Awolowo did alot to make Lagos bigger and concentration was part of it so what's your point?

My fellow brothers from the East, Lagos is a Yoruba land and developed by the Yoruba people. All those cheap point like Binis rule over Lagos (the benin itself, is it developed than Lagos?), Lagos was developed by Nigeria (Does Nigeria built the new Oshodi, Obalende, Lekki among others introduce Brt, the new roads, pedestrian bridges and so on). Your leaders can do better.
It reminds me one time while serving in Abia state, I dey tell my guy I come from Lagos, he asked me which village, I told him I no get village, na lag isl I come from, he dey tell me say he no possible I must come from village
lmao

Anyways, all Eko past and present governors are to be given an outstanding award for their brilliant visionary approach to modernization, and also a big shoutout to the Ebonyi state governor his excellency Engr. Dave Umahi for his significant performance in transforming his state, in light of intergrity a big kudos to the Ogun state governor, his excellency Egnr Seyi Makinde for his good policies, furthermore i cheer the akwaibom state governors for their progress in modern advancement.
See even with all the resource on earth, a BAD LEADER is a BAD LEADER which also applies the other way round.
If most state leaders had been using their allocations ( including paris dividends ) judiciously, they 'might or will ' look like lagos of last 10 years this moment.
Also, please that other guy should be aware that lagos allocations was paused for 4 years until nigeria's best democracy president (the late pres. Umaru Musa came to power and resolved it.

Thetruthshallse:
That binis conquered Lagos island does mean the rest part of Lagos does not belong to the Yorubas. Infact Lagos island belong to the Yorubas, binis only lay claim to it by conquest. But as for modern Lagos, all Nigerians are stakeholders. A word is enough for the wise.

Ogun state governor, his excellency Egnr Seyi ??

First project in Nigeria:

Through a capital grant agreement between West Germany and Nigeria, Julius Berger undertook the construction of the Eko Bridge in Lagos in 1965:

Notice the badly-beaten construction truck used by Julius Berger in 1965 compared to their new trucks of today tells you that every business started from somewhere......

Then Africa’s longest concrete bridge and the first of its kind, the pioneering design, high quality and timely completion set standards against which Julius Berger is still measured today.

The other day I saw a video of transport system in Lagos dated back to early 60s. I wept after watching that video. Literally, there's no difference between Nigeria of 60 years ago and Nigeria of today. No progress, no development. Pathetic!!!
