mystery22:
exactly, says a man from Ogun state,better concentrate on your skull mining cos that's all you people are good at,why not develop Ogun state,cos everybody develop lagos,develop Ogun state,look how you guys are killing each other in Ogun state cos foreigners don't live there...

You mean Ogun state with higher IGR than the entire Igbo land

mystery22:
you guys keep day dreaming by the time what is cooking explodes,skull mining will become an occupation in lagos,then they can mine skull in Lagos in the morning and return to Ogun state in the night

What is cooking apart from ewedu?
Ojukwu and Kanu said worse when they were alive

golddust6000:
are you a Nigerian? I doubt.

Are you?

Ibadanpikin:
Don't mind those easterners joor,it is our skull mining industries that generated the billions, yeye yeebos.

They have moved from Lagos issues to igbos, tribalistic bigots

Fatimaade:



You mean Ogun state with higher IGR than the entire Igbo land

yes oo,skull mining is very lucrative,you Ogun state people will soon start advertising skull mining and ritualist on jiji and Amazon,you guys are rich oo

I am.

omonnakoda:

Are you?

Lagos is making such revenue because its so centralized. Almost all the headquarters of multinational companies re located in lagos. Its one of d most centralized in d world, that's why its struggling to meet up with infrastructural facilities and quality housing.

Go to countries like US where d economy is decentralized. Not all economy of d US is based in new York alone, the economies are evenly distributed across d country, at least a state has a major company that's sustains its citizens. Tesla has its head quarters in San Francisco, ford has its headquarters in Ohio, tech giant, Microsoft has it main plant in Chicago, and us military is based in Virginia. So the wealths are spread. That's why d us is the most developed country in d world simply because its economy is decentralized. Lagos also needs to be decentralized so d wealths can be spread equally amongst states just like in d US.

raker300:
Obasa would take 20% of that money while 40% goes to Tinubu.

At least is our money, if it pains u, go ask Ikpeazu your share, after all Lagos is working, Abia is......., complete the sentence.

golddust6000:
I am.

Not a Biafran?

Is this so called centralisation by law?

Is there any law forcing companies to locate headquarters in Lagos?

Is there any law in America enforcing decentralization?

FYI California is an even bigger economy than New York and many states are relatively impoverished

Lagos would not be what it is today without the input of those who live in it today. I am not Igbo neither am I Yoruba, but let's be honest, if Lagos is doing well it's because of ordinary lagosians and it cuts across ethnic lines. We can say the indigenous Lagos population has been a very nice host taking advantage of the strategic importance of Lagos and working in partnership with others to build a very prosperous city.

Let's not see Lagos as a Yoruba or Igbo thing. Most of the people in government in Lagos are not originally from that state.

You are right, Lagos state size is 3,577km/sqr and Anambra is 4, 844km/sqr. The most painful aspect is the 2nd Niger bridge that is just looking like a simple design, I am sure their intention is to block larger barges from entering into communities in the River Niger areas. People don't ask questions.

By the Buhari finishes this bridge, this is what they will be saying.

Lol

Eko oni baje ooo

Lagos would not be what it is without Awolowo

There is Lagos State and there is Lagos city the FORMER FCT

Lagos State is historically made of of Five divisions

1. Lagos
2. Ikeja
3. Badagry
4.Ikorodu
5. Epe

Only 1. Was the FCT under a Minister just like Abuja today. One of whom was YarAdua's father

The latter 4 were part of the Western region until 1967.

Awolowo was the one with the VISION to develop Ikeja as an industrial base to take advantage of the port.

These are things locals will tell you


LAGOS STATE WAS NEVER CAPITAL OF NIGERIA

Just parts of 1 of the Five divisions. Was FCT.

People living in Lagos State come and go just like all the military governors they are transients. They did not strategize for Lagos and in 1991 they left Lagos state for dead

Again Tinubu and Fashola recently transformed Lagos to something it never was whilst hosting the FCT
Yoruba or Ibo thing ?

You have a good sense of humour

Lagos state is a Yoruba state

GamalNasser:



My state doesn't have 20 million people's, my state is not the commercial capital of Nigeria, my state doesn't claim to be a Mega city ..You should be competing with Newyork that has 19 million people and generates over 200 billion dollars in IGR annually and a GDP of 1.75 trillion dollars . Go and compete with your mates and leave my state out of this

How much is kano that have 15 million or kaduna with 10milluon earning? Is it up to half of what lagos makes son?

stanluiz:
All the billions yet nothing to show for it.

Tinubu will take 50percent. Obasa and his concubines and those rogues in Lagos State House of assembly will take 20perent while the remaining peanut 30percent will go to the state government.

It is not up to whak t ikpeazu remits to t.orji and son

Oromwos:
Abeg wetin b rivers state IGR, in Q1 2020?

With the way wike demonized firms,am not sure it will reach 10bik

Oshigun:


People who work with facts, either because they love Lagos and desire her progress or because their profession encourages them to alway recognize proven statistics, Will know that the Igbos are not assets to Lagos. At all. They are mainly saboteurs. It is only their business leaders like Ovia, Elumelu etal who contribute substantially to the IGR of Lagos.

Meanwhile the contribution of those people is dwarfed by that of their Yoruba peers who are far more in number.

Overall, only the Igbos themselves and uninformed Yorubas think Igbos are as important to Lagos as they claim.

They actually benefit more from Lagos than they give back which makes them an economic deficit to the State rather than an asset.

This is why I encourage and will continue to encourage them daily to leave Lagos and see if the State "crashes" as they threaten will happen if they depart back to Ala Igbo.

those people are the major cause of the depletion of our foreign exchange with the junks they import. how can someone claim they developed Lagos and they couldn't replicate it in Anambra

mystery22:

the Oyo empire is the whole of Yoruba land including Lagos. don't tell us our history. and any Yoruba can be anything he wants within the Yoruba country

BEEFIE:

I never brought history into it oooo...
But since you don't know your history, lemme tell you small. Lagos was never part of the Oyo empire. Lagos was under Benin.

Oya no mention me again
Vaamuuussss

We are watching.

I ask again, does Lagos still need the oil money sharing by the government?
Why is it the most indebted state in the country despite massive internally generated revenue?
The sooner this lost country end this almajiri system of government where they just gather each month in Abuja to share money the better for it.
Let there be true federalism.

Well you saw the part where I said the indigenous people in partnership with others. What I a saying is, somebody saw the vision, had the blueprint and set out to work. But could he have done it himself. Lagos is like you building a duplex, you cannot put away the works of the guys who dug a very good foundation, did plastering, electrical works and tiles. Yes they got benefit from working there but they worked there and whenever they pass that beautiful mansion that stands there, they tell people I worked here. We built this house. I did the plastering of this house. So everyone in Lagos is contributing their part to Lagos.

omonnakoda:

Lagos has gone very far.
The indigenous population know where the military left them in 1999.
IGR in 1999 was 6 billion Naira A YEAR

It is busybodies and miscreants that go around talking rubbish. Yes there is a long way to go and WE ,are on course


Miscreants should face their states

if 100 percent of Lagos wage earners were paying income tax as it is in the organised and developed world, then Lagos Igr will be over 5 times what it is today. We need organisation.

raker300:
Obasa would take 20% of that money while 40% goes to Tinubu.

Na so Politicians for ur state too they share the money so face ur state politicians make we face our own

That is true of EVERY CITYin the world.
Changes nothing
Paris is French
London is English
Rome is Italian

They are not United Nations cities

GamalNasser:


Oga go and face ya mate na and leave my state alone

You are as despicable n foolish as most NL Igbos. You are too ashamed to name your despicable state yet dive your pathetic bigoted mouth into a Lagos that is over a million times superior to your state in every facet of classification.

BlowYourMind:
Lagos country

Peanuts for a state with more than 15 million people. It's not even up to a billion dollar. What infrastructural development or capital development can a serious govt do with that, especially with all the inflated costs of projects. Thats why it seem no development is really happening because that money can't go far. They'll rather steal it (ala Jagaban, Obasa and Co.).

At least we agree.
I am never of the opinion Lagos is no man's land sha. But at least everyone has played a role and they can boast of it.
