Tzar: You still dont get the point. Lagos has a bigger IGR because it has the only functional port in Nigeria, most of everything that has ever come in through the sea and air is through lagos, no other state has a fully functional sea port like lagos because of federal government policies in the past, so you see goods, commerce and trade starting from lagos thereby drawing people there, corporate headquarters are sited there also. The Niger Delta and other states dont have this leverage firstly because they dont control their resources neither do they have the kind of infrastructure stimulus like lagos. So for years this have festered not until recently states began developing their infrastructure like new airports, new sea ports in Akwa Ibom, Cross river. Countries of the world which are resource rich or economically bouyant always have some form of financial autonomy and massive port complexes. Singapore, Japan, Qatar, UAE, South africa etc. Its not just by having NDDC, ministry of Niger delta etc that are all controlled by the federal government which dictates the pace at which this parastatals perform or through 13% derivation fund. When states are granted financial autonomy and are able to develop their resources and logistic infrastructure like ports and railways, no one will want to go to the urban jungle called lagos to do business, when states like Ondo, Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers, Akwa Ibom with be offering more space for growth. Calabar status as capital was pre-independence to be precise. On independence, Lagos became capital and was developed massively which drew Nigerias from all regions coupled with its port, same thing that is happening to Abuja today with its rail. Moreover the south east state still remains amongst the most urbanized and planned places in Nigeria even with a small land mass check the stats. Government presence might be lacking in a way but you cant wish away the fact that the people are enterprising and travel alot for economic gains which Nigeria government over the years have deprived the region of much needed infrastructure stimulus. Why does an Igbo man travel to lagos to import his goods or set up shop, because his region lacks the necessary stimulus which are a fully functional port, power, roads etc by a deliberate attempt of the government to dictate their pace. Mind you power, ports, rails, federal roads, mineral resources, airports, are all under the federal exclusive list. |

And I beg to ask what successes have other states recorded with all the Successful people they have? Even as rich as Dangote is Kano is still backward. So its a function of government not individual until we stop seeing it as a south east problem and see it as a general problem, Nigeria will remain poor. Mind you Innoson is successful but has all his plants in Anambra an Enugu. Same with Masters energy with his facility in Uturu, Abia state or Enugu and Imo with massive real estate boom? |

You still did not get my point too. Lagos ONLY flourishes because it is not hostile to diversity. Do you realize that there are other ports in Nigeria with longer shorelines? The Onne and Port-Harcourt ports in Rivers State, the Warri Port, and the Calabar Port. Those ports are doing less than optimal because those politicians from that region refuse to lobby for the ports to be utilized optimally. You can only blame the people from those regions for that. Back to why the SE and Anambra is not impressive economically /industrially and Peter Obi did nothing about it. Anambra claims to have the biggerst indudtrialist in Nigeria, how many of those so called big industrialists did Peter Obi attract into Anambra during his tenure. We know of Lagos business hubs and free trade zones. How many of such similar projects did Obi do in Anambra? How did Obi increase Anambra IGR during his tenure? Lagos survived on only IGR for years under OBJ because of vision and innovation, not because of wishful thinking and manner from heaven. My point is that with all the impressive industrialists the SE and Anambra has, I am not impressed by what Peter Obi and ALL past and present governors of the SE have done with the potentials that the SE has. ysth: |

Tzar: You just they run from pillar to post. I have given you the reason why Anambra and most other states cant do much when compared to Lagos due to the facts of Nigerian laws, geography and powers that be but you think Peter Obi should have done magic in 8 years, bring all the indigenous business men back home, build rivers ports in onitsha because our so called law backs him, build a rail line to connect to warri and port harcourt because the law backs him. I also made you understand why Lagos was able to survive under Tinubu without allocation from Abuja due to internally generated revenue by all the companies and business headquartered there because of the only functional ports there long before Tinubu became governor and also telling you now that free trade zones are approved by the FG under our constitution. But all you can say is the governors here must lobby to have functional ports running in there states? Is this the kind of mindset we would use to become a world power? Lobby to FG to approve deep sea port while by right states on the shoreline with the right geographical settings can apply for licensure to build and operate ports in partnership with foreign investors. If this your mindset is anything to go by, then I tell you Nigeria will never develop beyond the urban slum we have which is Lagos. To mention also NPA is in charge of running the ports in Nigeria, Onne, Calabar and Warri but they decide which port cargoes and ships berth which is lagos because of its deep draught more reason a clamor for deep sea ports. This is beyond lobbying but pure economic subjugation of the previous government. Akwa Ibom deep sea port, Bakassi deep sea port, Bonny deep sea port etc only got approval to business case during this administration because of Amaechi. |

Tzar:There is nothing like hostility, the Igbos are not hostile, they believe in “have yours while we have ours and everybody is happy”. You are just biased in nature. Nice speaking to you. |

You have given no facts. How did Lagos survive on only IGR for years without federal allocation If Lagos has the HQs of businesses what is stopping other states from luring them with significantly lower taxes? What are the lazy politicians, lobbyists & citizens doing to get industrial development in their states? Instead of thinking y’all go cap in hand monthly for FG allocation and nag all year round about Lagos. You better push your governors, legislators and politicians to do better. Keep excusing mediocrity in your states and beefing Lagos o! ysth: |
