Pierocash:
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.

so u mean 80 percent of people moving to Lagos are doing so because of seaport?
If yes that means 80 percent of lagosians are working in seaport

Pierocash:
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

You keep mentioning that Lagos is FCT as though it was yesterday. Truth is investors feel more comfortable in Lagos than any place else.

Let people reason be they talk why some Yoruba go to Anambra why Nigeria travel outside country and why others country come to Nigeria if people don't have anything to talk about obi let them use their time and sleep

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

Why not run to Abuja then? Or Calabar? If Tinubu had been useless in terms of raising revenue like Peter Obi, Lagos will still be earning 600m naira per month
Where will Fashola and Ambode even get the funds to execute those massive projects? BTW, Many projects were only inaugurated by Fashola like the BRT buses and lanes but Tinubu signed the deal and put it in motion.

why do chinese come to Nigeria if China is that good....

KGD10:


Of course I know you urchins are Igbos to begin with.. Always shouting our oyel while "gumbodying" with South South. The leech. Lmao.

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. 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.

This one is about to change history like his people always do .

Oil in Nigeria was first discovered in present day bayelsa state not in any way ondo state and for your info it's same oil that developed and that's what currently sustaining the whole Nigeria right now including our Lagos.

A lot of people from other states usually migrate to Lagos because it was developed with federal money since it became federal capital in 1960 and the subsequent creation of Lagos State in 1967 to include the hinterland. Other states like Anambra have some level of development and job/business opportunities too but such cannot accommodate their teeming population. Lagos is still the commercial nerve centre of Nigeria because of the template laid with federal fund since 1960 and can thus absorb more people. The case would have been otherwise if the capital had remained at Calabar or moved to elsewhere other than Lagos.

The exploitation of oil was first done in Bayelsa. However, the first oil was discovered in Ondo state but the explorers had to leave for world war.

The South West don't lack oil. Heck, the oil currently generated in Ondo is 5 times more than the whole oil in the South East. So what are you saying?

And no, it's not Nigeria's oil that's sustaining Lagos. Have you forgotten that Obasanjo seized Lagos's allocation for several years while Tinubu was in government yet he thrived. That was why I said Tinubu made the best decision to focus on other economy in Lagos because if he had focussed on oil, the revenue got from it would be sent to the federal government for allocation and there was Obasanjo who wasn't remitting Lagos allocation at that time.

MuscularDick:
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.

Don't mind them; Igbos are so many even in Ogun state; Was Ogun also a Federal Capital?

Why do Lagosians travel to the UK if Lagos was What you claim it to be?

Eniitankorede:
I have just been wondering why supporters of Peter Obi travel hundreds of kilometres from Anambra to Lagos to look for job and trading, if Peter Obi was a good leader and creator of jobs. Have you wondered why everyone wants to come to Lagos? And who created all the jobs and business opportunities in Lagos? Was it not Tinubu and his boys? Why support Peter Obi instead of Tinubu when you know that Peter Obi cannot deliver good leadership? If you talk integrity, Peter Obi has no integrity because he was involved in money laundry as Governor and was also using state money to fund his family business. And Buhari did not deliver on integrity ticket because we need a leader who has integrity and can deliver good governance.

Asiwaju is a saint. Lets all vote for him according to this man. So lagos is developed abi. It will shock you to your bone marrow. Let me educate you, If Obi doesn't Win this election, Atiku will Win it. The Yoruba will never smell Aso rock again for at least 30 years. Mark it and cry your eyes out. You have all been served

jaymoni:
I have sense for sell! Igbos developed Lagos if you don't know ask your ancestors

But didn't develop their own region? Na empty head U Wan sell?

pquaver:


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

we try to educate you guys but you remain incorrigible.

All the things used in Lagos are still been used in Rivers,Anambra, Warri ,akwa ibom etc. But do you know those things are been transported from Lagos down to those places? If the seaports are functional to Berth cargo ships,no business man will ship his consignments to Lagos ports before transporting then down to where their targeted audience are. They will simply ship them directly to this seaports.


But the truth is that those seaports are not functioning to full capacity ,so all the importers ship their consignments down to Lagos. This creates more business opportunities in Lagos. 80% of this importers are not even lagosians. Other regions have been marginalised for so long at the expense of Lagos. What Lagos is enjoying is nothing more than Monopoly. People have been trooping to Lagos even before Tinubu. Why are people talking as if Tinubu made Lagos. I am not here to debate Obi vs Tinubu,I am stating the reason why Lagos has more development than other regions in Nigeria. The fct status, and coastal environment, simple.argue it from now till tomorrow ,it doesn't change this obvious fact.


Non indigenes built Lagos not governance

oilykid:

Why are yorubas all over Nigerdelta working in the oil coys there without other Nigerians wailing about it.

Go to most oil companies and see lots of yorubas working there in the Niger delta. With the development Lagos, they choosed to migrate to the Niger delta region to work there.

These are federal establishments, not created by your fraudulent governors. Don’t you understand

Y did Tinubu leave Osun and came to Lagos?

Eniitankorede:

Stop typing thrash here. Until Lagos stops recieving it's allocation from Abuja I will then take you people serious.

Which oil 5 more times, like I said until multinational oil companies start investing in ondo and ogun like they are doing in SE then I will know that those places have more oil and gas than any place in the east

Lagos was no more federal capital for 20 years. Where is the federal infrastructure that is helping Lagos? All the jobs created by Tinubu, were they federal jobs? How many igbos are in
Lagos teaching service through the reforms of Tinubu? We’re those federal jobs? Where is the federal infrastructure helping Lagos?

Lagos having a functional seaport, obi was close and also economic friend to GEJ, am I right? So how come developement of these other seaport were not carried out? It either you people are blinded by hate or out right incorrigible. How many times will a feasibility Studie by experts saying those ports are not worth sinking money into? It nobody fault lagos has the port or feasible sea. Why is Ekiti ogun state not complaining bayelsa or akwa ibom has oil and the oil is its advantage? You work with what you have and bring out the best.. Do all states in Germany, America, UK all have seaports? Seaport has it advantages but it does not stop development of a serious state..

Stop spewing gibberish. Nobody is complaining,but you guys are the ones complaining of why ndi Anambra are coming to Lagos,and we are telling you why everyone is flooding there.


If it is the only functional seaports,then it belongs to all of us same way our oil money belongs to all of us.

You are still going in circles. Peter could developed anambra with or without seaport., if he had done that seaport or no seaport in lagos anambra people will not leave anambra and troop to lagos. Nobody leaves Darmstadt in Germany and be trooping in droves to Hamburg because Hamburg has a seaport. People don't leave Essen and be leaving in droves to Bonn because it was former capital... Why because the good life in Bonn he can get it in Essen, the good life in Hamburg he can get it in Darmstadt. Anambra people leaving in droves to lagos till date is a testament to the failure of Pete obi government. Lagosians are not trooping to Abuja are they?

Will you keep quiet and answer the question?

While Obasanjo was in government, he siezed Lagos' allocation. Jonathan that took over after Yaradua's untimely death had his mind poisoned against the Yorubas by the Igbos he surrounded himself with. So tell me what fg did for Lagos? Heck, shouldn't you be talking about the Igbos since they were the one dining with Jonathan at that time and eventually led him to his ruin?


Back to the main question, what did Peter Obi do in Anambra? Yeye dey smell

UK is better than lagos so are their leaders. So if you agree to that, then no more arguments.. It is self explanatory that the managers of Lagos are better than those of Anambra simple including Peter. Obi.

kids everywhere . He is comparing western countries where there is equity and production to a third world country like Nigeria that depends on importation.


How did Tinubu developed Lagos? You are not even a lagosian. I was born , bred,schooled ,and lived my life in Lagos before moving here to Ph to base.


Lagos ought to be competing with Cairo, Johannesburg, Nairobi etc. But with the whole allocation , igr been contributed by same ndi Anambra who are major exporters in Lagos, yet Lagos is still lagging behind even Windhoek .


Lagos is built by business men. Stop been stupid with baseless argument. Every sane mind knows this. During festive season,almost all cities and towns in lag become empty . What does that tell you, Lagos is built by non lagosians,and they do their businesses there due to its strategic positioning to coastal ways, and been an fct which gave them that leverage.


You kids will keep arguing and shouting blindly.

Crap, why did tinubulion go to UK if he govern lagos well and fix the health system? More than 70 million Nigerian youths are going obidient.

Lagos is built by federal government.
