Later the children of hate will still not happy with this News because their State is nothing to write about. Instead of them to channel their aggression to their governor to deliver dividend of democracy and development to them. Let their State to attract investors not looking for investors. They will be forming they developed all the whole world.

ahiboilandgas:
ipob crew come and see the silent developers ! Not some 2 by 2 shop traders na we develop Lagos without us Lagos will collapse ! We are moving to biafra

zinizta:



I know you were taught indigenization in secondary school.

You just didn't pay attention

Also, if you have the time, study Land use act of 1978, when you're done then come back and debate

SouthSouth1914:


This is a shitty and unreasonable response from you. Go back to history classes and read to understand. The military government (Northern dominated), come back to the civilian government (Northern dominated).

When are you are done with history classes and have your passmark, come back here and engage in a clear cut discussion. For now, bye!

DMerciful:
Lagos was capital from 1914 to 1990. Major infrastructures, embasies, headquarters of co.panies were established there, major roads and bridges built from Niger Delta oil as well as allocations.

If Yorubas built Lagos, why have they not replicated it in other Yoruba states?

Nigerians built Lagos and it belongs equally to all Nigerians. Proximity is favouring Yorubas to havr voting majority

stuffs2002:



BITTER, HATRED & JELOUSY is in the DNA SE people

ElSudani:


This is straight up one of the dumbest comments I have ever seen on Nairaland. Hate can truly make people lose their senses.
No amount of industrialization will remove Yoruba from Lagos, it just won't happen.

Agbegbaorogboye:

Lagos was a rich colony even before Nigeria was amalgamated. The facts are there

DMerciful:
I dey laugh you. When you guys are ready for division, we will align with the North. Nobody will go anywhere. The only condition to free Yoruba is that they must forfeit Lagos because it belongs equally to all Nigerians

GeneralPula:


Igbo man & Hypocrite..

You clearly decided not to mention the main people that scrapped Nigeria regional system?

The greatest nepotism in Nigeria history was carried out by Igbos. It’s one truth that won’t ever change..

jaxxy:


I agree with him.

The problem is not the industries the problem is when the money gotten from these industries are looted by few rather than to develop the area around these industries.

Look at Niger detla which has more billions than this still like a village.

tishbite42:

The truth is bitter
Deal with it

SouthSouth1914:


I guess it is payback time.

SouthSouth1914:


That’s all you have to say? Land of the leeches!

baby124:

It’s ND doing itself with their greedy youth. Any major company that comes in, they carry gun and start fighting plus kidnapping. All regions in Nigeria that lack development are the ones doing themselves not even FG. Investors end up fleeing to Lagos. Something about a culture that has not future outlook. They eat everything for today.

jaxxy:


untill colonisation it wasn't.

jaxxy:


Let apc lagos keep looting the money ment for ur development then u will know lagos can be like Niger detla.

What is saving lagos is not the $billions industries dangote or dantata is bringing. it is the past developments and continues people developments from igbos, Fg and other tribes over decades.

Lagos can have dangote and dantata and still look like a jungle.

Agbegbaorogboye:

It was. Go and check your history. Lagos was an important trading post by which the early Portuguese adventurers traded with the natives. The name Lagos was coined from the Portuguese who used to call the port Lago.
The Kings of Lagos have always been rich just as the Niger Delta kings from trading with Europeans

jaxxy:


Who will buy the lubricants worh billions na still igbos.

baby124:

Don’t worry about that. You are already in tears over ND wishing the same for your region. First become civilized enough to retain one multinational then you can speak. For now, these are matters beyond your capacity and evolution

DMerciful:
So whenever a new company comes to Lagos, and you start celebrating shortsightedly, know the implications!

Its not as if those companies would necessarily better the lives of indigenes because recruitment is based on merit and its nationwide due to diversity laws

jaxxy:


Bottom line is igbos developed lagos. They are the biggest financial and human development contributors in turnover.

Justmesagi:
Some of you brag like children and make intelligent and reasonable Igbos embarrassed.

jaxxy:


Which king of lagos? there was no king of lagos when the British came.

baby124:

If you can’t develop your fathers land. You can’t claim to develop a place you ran to for safety. Charity begins at home. Plus you can’t automatically become a genius because you changed location.

jaxxy:


So why didn't yorubas or let's me say tinubu urchins develop other states like osun and ondo?

it's because they don't have same population mix which attracts development.

DMerciful:
The more Lagos industrialize, the more Yoruba lose Lagos. You guys nor know whats going on. Very soon you wont be able to build a house irrespective whether you're an indigene or not
