I ask this question because it seems like the other 5 SW states are now in coma without any significant news or developmental report coming from there. For instance, all over the South South, South East and even the North, we can see and hear reports of ongoing projects that are being executed there. However, when it comes to the South West, all we hear about is Lagos and nothing more. This got me wondering what happened to the other states like Oyo, Osun, Ogun, Ondo and Ekiti, have they all gone extinct or what?

Op, why your obsession with SW states? Going by your moniker it is obvious that you are igbo, so why not leave SW people to concern themselves with that. A Yoruba person won't come here to ask this about igbo/SE states. But we sabi your kind. Na rofo-rofo fight you dey find.

Development is going on in different degrees all over the country (both private and government-initiated), but it is not every state government that has agents and propagandists on Nairaland in search of cheap 'likes'. If you really care about development going on in the SW states it is actually not difficult to find out about that online or you can go to those states yourself, but your motive is not genuine because even on this same Nairaland there are occasional news reports of development from that corridor. E.g, Ondo state government handlers post a lot of projects from there.

They are always obsessed with our LAGOS, Eko aromisa legbe legbe

Nope the OP is right.

When people show pictures of Anambra state, Enugu and even the "sh*thole Aba, and Kaduna...even Warri, you guys will try to counter them with the pictures of Lagos. May be you haven't been observant or you are a newbie in this platform.

The SW like ordinary Ogun State that generates more IGR than the entire South East

no they are busy talking about Igbo and IPOB. If you ask any Yoruba where did he come from they will tell you Lagos I wonder if all Yoruba are from Lagos. Including Osinbajo and tunumbu the fact is that the indigenous people of Lagos don't make nose. The only people who make nose is foreigner , migrants and criminal from Ogun osun Ondo Ekiti one day they will be deported to their home state

No, neither you nor the Op are right. Every state grows at its pace and have different priorities. Some states have passed the level other states are currently at. E.g, while Ebonyi and Rivers mat be prioritizing building of flyovers, the current Ogun government may choose instead to focus on employment generation, human capital development, road maintenance, and agricultural development programs, which is a different focus compared to the previous Ogun state administration of Amosun that built 15 flyovers and bridges across the state and attracted over 300 new businesses and industries.

https://www.premiumtimesng.com/regional/ssouth-west/232483-why-my-administration-is-focused-on-building-bridges-flyovers-amosun.html

But it is obvious that many of you guys here have jaundiced concept of development which is limited to only flyovers and road maintenance. Development is beyond building flyovers. And some states that are just building their own flyovers, bridges, and airports are merely playing catch-up compared to others that already have them.

So those of you making noise about flyovers should mechionu because other states have long passed that stage of development.

Just like asking a Japanese that does Japan Starts from Tokyo and ends in Tokyo??


This question is nonsense

Lagos is what it is today simply because it was a former capital state of Nigeria. Take that away and it won't differ much from Ibadan

Lol, stop decieving yourself my bro. Last time I checked, only Lagos airport is viable in the entire SW region. Osun and some other states attempted to build some airports but abandoned the idea.

Ogun state you're talking about is living off Lagos State, which still supports my earlier assertion. Those firms you claim Ogun attracted was because Lagos is filled up and they decided to site their plants in the suburbs which happens to be within Ogun state. Same Ogun you're talking about has very terrible roads in Sango/Ota axis and other parts of the state.

Lol, you claim that SW states has gone beyond the provision of infrastructure to other higher areas and I wonder if you're not making this ridiculous claims because of Lagos. What infrastructure is on ground in other SW cities/towns that will make you say this? If your governors have gone beyond provision of roads, flyovers and other basic infrastructure then I ask you, are your governors now building nuclear plants, tunnels or high-speed railways?

Funny people

Well if you follow nairaland, then yes it does.

YouAreFinished:
The SW like ordinary Ogun State that generates more IGR than the entire South East

If Ogun generates more IGR than the entire SE as you claim, then it is still due to Lagos which points to my assertions too.

Lies from the pit of hell. Yorubas always invade threads about SE and SS only to throw tantrums but when a supposed good question is asked about SW you start convulsing.

I don't need to go to the SW states to find out because I already know virtually all the states there and the I can tell you categorically that nothing is happening except in Lagos.

See, I knew it was only a matter of time before you revealed your real motivation for opening this thread, which is simply to denigrate the SW as is your modus operandi. If you feel the SW is not developing, that's your ffvcking business. But ironically that hasn't stopped igbos from moving to the region in droves in search of economic sustenance. You lots just can't celebrate your strides and wins without dragging others down while you're at it.

As for your obsession and tears over Lagos, well, you will just have to learn to deal with it because Lagos is and will always be a part of the Yoruba-owned/controlled territory that is the SW. Yorubas don't need igbo permission to celebrate Lagos and its developmental strides. We will always take pride in Lagos. Heck, if we don't, who else will?? Is it the Lagos-hating igbos? Guy, you go wail tire because Yorubas will never stop hyping Lagos because na their land, na dem get am. If you are ashamed to hype your own shithole that's your problem.

I'm currently in the southwest though from the ss.. and I can confirm to you that... sw is very much over hyped here on nairaland.. they want to make you believe sw is the most developed region in Nigeria but I doubt if you exclude lagos.. if sw can really compare to SE in term of infrastructure and human resources... here in abeokuta the men have two major jobs.. taxi driving and civil servant.. I think FMC is the biggest employer here.. beggars and fraudster loitering in every corner ready to dupe you if you cant speak yoruba.. honestly I dont think any region has the right to make a joke of other regions in Nigeria... the sw is still a majority brown roof region.. they have lands and fertile soil good climate but are very lazy.. all they want is a white collar job.. they keep selling land unnecessarily thinking they have abundance of it.. here in abeokuta you can still get a plot of land for 50k ...

Some areas in Abeokuta no get water.. sometimes I buy a cage of water as high as 70naira per cage in a state capital for that matter.... you can imagine the kind of struggle students go through here.. but I like the sw when I comes to education.... on that area... I don't think any other region can compare

Wow. Did you actually just say this about your hosts?? They are selling land 'unnecessarily' you say? If Yorubas act on this comment and begin to treat your likes with hostility, you will be the first to castigate them for being bigoted. That you can actually come here to speak ill of yorubas that host you in Abeokuta, and sell land to you without qualms tells a lot about your kind of person. You are definitely an enemy in their midst. Yorubas are indeed in deep trouble with your kind. Why are you pained by the occupational preferences of Abeokuta folks? Were you expecting Abeokuta taxi drivers to be from Enugu? Would you have preferred if they all chose to be traders or farmers? Why are we human beings like this? This is so sad. If you loathe your yoruba hosts so much, abeg what stops you from relocating to the SE or SS where they have better infrastructure and don't sell land unnecessarily?? This writeup shows Yorubas are indeed living with enemies in their midst. Smh.

You see your stupid comment Tell me who is above criticism?? Its ok to do it to the igbos and call the Niger deltans a fool.. but the people from the sw are so sophisticated .. more like sophisticatedly stupid ...And yes.. selling land for $120 is simply stupidity.. people like you never learn... you hate it when they tell you the truth.... I will say it as I see it.. I've personally brought an igbo guy and 2 yoruba guys from lagos to get land in abeokuta.. because its stupidly cheap...
