Yes and businesses can't operate anywhere. Only workers can work anywhere.
This guy is a first class fool.

You mean how Igbos flee their accursed region in numbers to Lagos? Even Wike made move to stop those flocking Igbos into his state. You dey ment.

gidgiddy:


You people are funny. Lagos has been capital of Nigeria for over 70 years but you people want everyone one to believe that 8 years of Tinubu made Lagos what it i?

I laugh in Chinese

You people are illiterate zombies
Where did I say anything about Tinubu .
In your world there are those who support Tinubu or Obi and nothing else. Well I am neither
Illiterate dunce

aribisala0:
I agree Tinubu did not build Lagos State
I never said he did and I am not one of his supporters but everything else you have said is nonsense that only makes sense in your head. Everything is not about Tinubu

Stop talking rubbish about federal presence

Why is Abuja not attracting the flood of people with more than 10 times the investment in Lagos State
You still fail to get the distinction between Lagos the city the former FCT and Lagos State They are not the same thing
The FG left Lagos is 1991 and did not leave it in good shape . The FG never managed Lagos State properly under the military governments .
Lagos State again STATE as it is today which is IGR at unprecedented level NEVER happened when it hosted the FCT .
It was not inevitable , in fact the idea of the powers that be was for Lagos State to fail
Imagine the Federal Secretariat in Lagos \state taken over by snakes
There is no doubt Tinubu played a role in reversing the rot in Lagos State along with Fashola and he should be given credit for his role .One does not have to be in support of his presidential ambition to acknowledge that .
The issue is why Ndi Anambra continue rushing Lagos State

I don't know how else to educate you.

Your submission lacks logic. Aren't you getting the point here,and you keep asking why ndi Anambra keep flooding Lagos.


People are flooding Lagos as a result of businesses that have been built there. Fct status attracted investors, it attracted businesses. It made federal government develop the seaport for consignments,which other states don't have because the same fg refused to develop other coastal states just for political motives even when Lagos State government keep advising federal government to develop other seaports to decongest traffics yet they have refused to do that due to fear of other regions building up to a point of seccession.

Lagos is the only place with functional business seaport and environment as a result of fct status it has enjoined which gave them the infrastructure that enabled such.

No business man in Lagos that doesn't own properties in Abuja. The reason Abuja isn't attracting that investment like Lagos is simply because it has no functional seaport,if not,a lot of businesses will flood in there. Abuja is landlocked that is why there only acquire properties but don't build much businesses.

Politicians didn't build Lagos, business men did.

Let other regions like warri, Anambra, Rivers have a functional seaport,plus fct status,and see in 10yrs if those places won't surpass Lagos.


Lagos, was built by men and women in the business world and not any governor. Nothing special about the governor's performance in Lagos that is different from other governor's.


You cannot compare Accra with any part of Ghana,why? Fct status. Stop arguing blindly

KGD10:


First, the seaport was built before the amalgamation of Nigeria. It was built from the proceed of agricultural products from the south western region. So what are you saying exactly?

Crude oil only started to be exported in large quantities in the late 80's. So what did you develop in Lagos exactly? Una dey ment?

Also, the proceeds of the seaport goes to the federal government.

Did you even realise that Obasanjo withheld Lagos revenues for several years while Tinubu was governor?

Shut up this idiot.
Obasanjo that destroyed Warri port just to favour Lagos.

KGD10:


How many has it attracts to Abuja with the fct status of 30 years? You dey mad?


Because he's not the governor of Ondo state. Sink that into your skull.

I don't argue with kids. Abuja is landlocked with no coastal ways,no functional seaports in Abuja ,reason it doesn't attract that much in terms of investment.


In terms of infrastructure,no region aside Lagos is experiencing the kind of development in Abuja, why fct status.

Get that to your skull little boy

Lagos State was not the Capital of Nigeria.
People are flooding MORE NOW than when it was capital over 30 years ago why not flood Abuja which was purpose built with unprecedented funds
Lagos City ceased to be Capital over 30 years ago and when the FG left many communities had no electricity and were not on the National grid.
5 years before the FG left they still had night soil men in Lagos State carrying shit in buckets

GerogeI:


Shut up this idiot.
Obasanjo that destroyed Warri port just to favour Lagos.
Or Obasanjo that sold two, not one Government owned oil companies, Unipetrol and Agip for pitance to Tinubu proxies so they can claim the billions Abacha was owing Unipetrol from Liberian war. At the same time he was withholding so called funds from Tinubu.

All this online warriors for Tinubu. We all know the mans main Ambition is to sell and buy NNPC.

Destroy which port? Una dey ment..

The port in Lagos was developed before the amalgamation of Nigeria. Sink that into your skull.

The port in Calabar, Warri and Porthacourt are still functioning. Go there.

Who wants to sell which nnpc? Did nnpc develop the south western region? Una dey ment?

We know the people who love to shout "our oyel" everywhere. it's the Igbos. That was why ojukwu wanted to change the names of the South South and wouldn't let them go until the federal government did. And that was before oil was exported in large quantities.

KGD10:


Why aren't you going to Calabar? Una dey ment?

Wetin federal government do in Lagos apart from ikoyi? Even the seaport in Lagos was built before amalgamation of Nigeria. You people dey ment or what?

you need brain upgrade. I just told you why Abuja isn't attracting much in terms of investment. Abuja is landlocked,no functional seaport there. Are you that dumb to understand simple logic. Or you didn't do logic 101in school?


People have to flood Lagos because of the foundation that has been laid when it was fct. Businesses where established there because of its coastal advantage.people are flooding there to look for jobs because companies are established there by still non indigenes. So because of the crowd,other people are opening more businesses because of human traffic. Are you this dumb.


How can you ask a Ghanaian why they are leaving Takoradi to Accra? Common sense,fct status,

Pierocash:
You guys should stop all these nonsense rabbies of why people are coming to Lagos instead of their own state ,and all that Rubbish. Lagos was a one time FCT for decades and that has attracted a lot of growth and development even before Tinubu became governor. Any other state in Nigeria could have also been like that if they were privileged to have been FCT. A lot of industries ,and businesses in Lagos are owned by non lagosians,even most of the buildings in high brow areas of Lagos aren't owned by lagosians but outsiders. Tinubu didn't build Lagos. Lagos has been Lagos even before Tinubu,all simply because it was a one time FCT so a lot of investors took their business there. Infact Fashola did more in terms of developing Lagos more than Tinubu.


So you guys should stop comparing other states that never had federal presence to lagos that has benefited immensely and still benefitting from federal coffers

It has nothing to do with being one time fct. If i turn benue to an economic hub and dubai like today, migration patterns will change from lagos and other Nigerian states towards benue whether lagos once fct or not.. Shey na once fct people go chop? So the fact and question that beckons for answers is, if obi actually did what you said about anambra, why is the trend still from Anambra to lagos today, even while he was in office? Is it not easier for an igbo man from imo to go to anambra and make a living yet people enter bus up till today to lagos for better life (even under obi) . It tells you alot.. I remember under obi anambra people where deported to onitsha bridge and there was huge outcry.. Abeg who cries when deported to a better place? If I deport you to Finland from Nigeria today will you cry out?

But people were not flooding there as much as now that it is not capital?
So make up your mind is it Port or FCT?

Keep arguing like a fool.

It is on record Obasanjo destroyed warri Port, till today it is yet to recover.

Port in Lagos is a Federal port, not a regional port. The one your governors have been naking noise about in Lekki is still on paper. Your region has coastline, but only the Federal port in Lagos is working. What happened to the rest of your coastline line- Port Developer.

As usual, only target of Tinubu's is federal companies they can sell to themselves. NNPC is the only thing they have not sold to themselves. You carefully avoided the looting of Unipetrol Liberain war fuel funds debt through Oando.

fct status did. It laid the foundation for functional seaport,and airports. So business men move in there for business due to its accessibility. So many businesses are moving there, because of that more opportunities exist ,reason why a lot of people are going there for greener pastures.

Create a functional seaport ,and airports in benue,and see the rapid migration and Exodus of businesses to that place. In a short while,people will start migrating there because opportunities are now been created for a better living,simple.


Why do average Ghanians move from Takoradi and other parts of Ghana to Accra? Fct status, it creates more opportunities for a better living,nothing magical

you can't compare the development stride happening in Abuja right now to any part of Nigeria. The reason businesses aren't moving much to Abuja like Lagos is because it has no functional seaports,for businesses to thrive ,there must be a functional coastal facility like seaports.

the only thing this little knows how to say is "Na ment" , meanwhile na em dey ment .

Those seaports you mentioned are standard enough for some kind of cargo ships to Berth. They will still need to be developed,dredged, and well constructed for commercial purposes. No business man who wants to market a product in warri, Port Harcourt, etc will ship his products to Lagos first,and transport down to warri if seaports in those places are working. He would have simply shipped them directly.

A lot of factors are involved,that is why Lagos is the only functional seaport

oilykid:

Lmao..

One thing you keep forgetting is that ondo, Ogun and Lagos have oil in quantities. As a matter of fact, oil was first discovered in ondo state before the world war which made the explorer leave.

Also Tinubu was one of the leaders who shifted the attention from South West region because he believed oil was a curse to every region but rather preferred to focus on the growth of other areas of economy. That was how he stopped people from exploring oil in Lagos. Good thing he did because Lagos was able to thrive on other economy at the time Obasanjo seized Lagos' revenues. Imagine he hadn't done that.

In fact, this is the leader we need. The leader that will shift attention from oil and grow other economy.

Do you have critical thinking? Are you saying if borno becomes like dubai tomorrow people will leave borno and continue to troop to lagos just because it has former fct status or former fct helped its development? What is the reason for trooping to lagos? Is it not for better life? If I give u a 2 million naira per month job in Anambra and you earn 200k in lagos will you not leave lagos for anambra? What are you saying sef? The question is... Again incase you don't understand, why are anambra people leaving anambra transformed by obi where they have all the qualities you said obi will bring to Nigeria if he win, they leave it and head to lagos? Even under obis tenure it was same trend.. Why is it so?

Create a functional seaport and airport in benue you say? What then was obi doing for 8years cos Obiano just built a functional airport in his tenure.. And you must not have seaport to attract businesses.. Rivers has seaport, akwa ibom has calabar has you can also go there if it is about port.. It is also a good government can put the port inorder and collect the money from federal small small. So what exactly are you saying

Which oil unless you mean groundnut oil

The likes of seplat, Agip,shell are already investing in SE where oil and gas are found. Anambra,Abia and imo are oil producing states and they are receiving allocation for that . Maybe when oil multinationals start investing in Ogun and Ondo, I will take you people serious then

Pierocash:
oponu. Calabar was never fct at anytime. It was only capital of Southern protectorate. With the way Nigeria is designed, the coastal advantage of Lagos Was what made the colonial masters built a seaport there for movement and business's purposes.

Tinubu never made Lagos, business men built Lagos as a result of fct status. Stop spewing gibberish.

Lagos is what it is simply because successive government ensured stability, attractive environment and safety in the state. SOUTHWEST has always been peaceful and investors are looking for a place where investment safety is assured.

So we accept that Anambra is a rubbish heap and that is why the exodus

Go and check history. Ondo was the state where oil was first discovered. It's got the largest bitumen ever. Ogun and Lagos state are not far behind.

In fact, when oil explorers/investors came to Lagos, go read on what Tinubu told them. Lmao. He would rather focus his attention on other area of economy and good thing he did because Lagos was able to thrive on other economy at the time Obasanjo seized Lagos' revenues.
