Lagos is Nigerian project and that's a fact
Yorubas are really nice people, they are hospitable truely bro. I criticised them too sometimes o especially in politics. But the only thing that irritate me about them is there "unstable mind", they are unstable as water. this instability makes them double standard.

Year: 1965

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.

Go school you no go gree. did the guy said Lagos can't survive without FG allocation now? what he was rather saying is that Lagos and Abuja unlike other state are 100% project of the FG. is that comment lie?

There are far more igbos in the north than south west ....we go where the people are either not smart or too lazy to take the opportunity in their place simple
This is just the hidden facts most non Igbo don't know.. Oga, why are you exposing our secrets na... you should have allowed the lazy youths from the west and north lots while we took over their opportunities

go back to your onitsha. Igbos will be sent out of Lagos and the entire Southwest if Nigeria divides. During the civil war all igbo properties were revoked. Ojukwu had to beg to get his fathers properties back. Igbos are hated all over Africa cos they are proud dubious and cunny. In South Africa you people have been sent out already

Lagos had been a contender on the West African coast for ages.

Why did Benin leave nearby Calabar, Port Harcourt, Warri to go enter partnership in far away Lagos?

Calabar was the first capital of Amalgamated Nigeria, not Lagos. Why did colonial administrators packed up from Calabar to go into Lagos?


Lagos is older Nigeria
Lagos has always been developed before Nigeria.
Lagos has always been rich before Nigeria.
Lagos has always been beautiful before Nigeria.

Get sense or I school you! grin



Tell them o, zungeru, lokoja, and calabar were once capital of Nigeria, the colonial guys left those places for a more developed lagos. History should be brought back to our schools.

First your response shows how immature and inexperienced U could be. He said that Lagos is Nigeria's project and went ahead to mention prominent and important projects FG did in Lagos. These infrastructures as we can see today are the anchor upon which Lagos being able to stand on its own is built on.....The seaport etc. Now, that does not negate that you have to have a sea in other to have a port so in that regard, Lagos is blessed naturally with it. But now the infrastructures to harnessing nature, that is what the guy pointed and which he rightfully said, where built by FG. He did all these without insulting, try that young man. grin

ImmaculateJOE:


Engage him (mrvitalis), he is stating the plain fact.

From 1914-1991 (73years) Lagos state was the capital of Nigeria and so like he stated FG build up Lagos to what it is today.. The past and present governors are just doing maintenance.

And yes Lagos state closeness to the Atlantic ocean is the icing on the cake that made Lagos a class above the rest.
But then if places like Bonny in Rivers state was the then capital of Nigeria it will be like Lagos state now.

Bro, you just made my day... Proximity to the ocean makes it stand out.. Imagine Port Harcourt closer to those ancient Kalabari areas which is very close to the ocean

Those who claimed Lagos in the 60s are mostly dead today. Lagos continues to exist. Those claiming it today will still leave Lagos behind. If you claim Lagos, keep it. Let peace reign. But beyond bragging about something you have no control over, the most important question is: HAVE YOU EATEN TODAY?

Igbos can't just bear it, go to Kano, go to Osun, go to PH, go to Oyo, you will find Igbos there, why? Because Igbo land is backward and the people there can't let outsiders flourish so they go away, Kano is also a big city like Lagos that everyone's business is there be it Hausa Yoruba or Igbo, the reason why Lagos is slightly different and what makes it center of attention is the water way and the air way which is contributing a big deal to Nigeria revenue, which makes it valuable to Nigeria, but saying Lagos State is Nigeria project, come on...
