Why should a state waiting for FG approval to develop itself?

That was not what the OP asked. Answer his question by employing the dictates of Nigeria's constitution.

If importation of containers means development to you then i have nothing to argue with you.

It means trade, internal and external trade. Containers contain commercial and manufactured goods, import and export. Trade is the activity of buying, selling, or exchanging goods or services between people, firms, or countries.

This is one of the primary modes of wealth creation. Since 80 percent of what is imported into Nigeria, for trade or manufacture, is attributable to a certain ethnic group that is definitely not Yoruba, it is easy to see why some people are bent on a narrative that they know is asinine.

History555:



The industries in ogun are owned majorly by chinese, indians and Lebanese. The only reason they are in ogun is to take advantage of the population of lagos. If half of the residents in lagos leaves as Yorubas are advocating for. Those industries will hear it

Even though your statistics is wrong because most of the companies i personally know in oyo and ogun are owned by yorubas, show us prof if it is otherwise.

it still doesn't make any sense because larger percentage of the properties and investments found in developed countries like Dubai, UK etc is owned by non indigenes, could you also say these places are not developed?.

Dont doubt the obvious, its a fool's and losers game.

No

God bless you.. you summarized everything well

is ondo state not an oil producing state?

There must be a problem somewhere if you think Ladipo is the only market in Lagos not to talk of entire SW.. Go to ibadan markets which even sells cheaper car parts and find out if you will see igbos there... Gbaji markets which sells the cheapest product comprises of 90% of yoruba women.

The thing is trading is mostly limited to women in yoruba land became is it lazy job and doesn't require much reasoning.. Yoruba men are artisans which is much more technical, you will find them operating machines, production and politics which an average person can not easily understand.

An average yoruba guy will learn to repair cars instead of selling pants.

BastadThiefnubu:
It is glaring that you are absolutely uninformed and deformed.

The project, an investment in excess of $1.5 billion, is a joint venture between the federal government, through the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), Lagos State Government, Tolarams Group (owners of the Lagos Free Zone), and China Harbour Engineering Company

You dey whyne yourself.
It is glaring that you are absolutely uninformed and deformed.

Why don't you tell us the amount federal government donated? We know the amount Lagos government donated. You dey use brain so? Federal government spent no kobo on the new Lekki seaport. They only gave approval.

babydioku:
I have heard many people say Lagos built their sea ports on their own without help from federal government.
My question is can a state build and operate a sea port without FG approval?

The state will apply for approval to build, get approval, then proceed to build.

Any state interested in building port can apply.

Even with an evidence you are still arguing idiotically, you need your head examined.

BastadThiefnubu:

What stupid evidence?

Of course the Lekki seaport wouldn't have been worked on without an approval from the federal government but federal government contributed no kobo in it. That's the fact on ground. Why don't you tell us the amount federal government contributed?

I hve been to many factories in agbara, ota industrial estate and can tell u authoritatively chinese and Lebanese own most of industries. Do u know in the preform and nylon making industries the top 20 in Nigeria are indians and Lebanese.

flokii:


Yet again you argue blindly my friend..

Ceteris paribus, South East ought to be in the leagues of Dubai and co considering the fact that one SW state (Oyo State) is bigger than all 5 States in SE combined. That is a fact.

Niger State that houses Nupes is x2 the size of entire SE.. Infact I have been having this notion that Nupes are far more than Igbos in Nigeria cos they are predominantly in Niger and parts of Kwara. Do the maths and see their population.

I always feel sorry for SEners because you folks don't know how much y'all are taking from Nigeria despite contributing nothing to national purse.. What is your Igr in SE and what is that of Lagos, Ogun, Osun and co?.

Economic prosperity is not measured by fine buildings and whatnot.. it's the revenue you generate and jobs created for the people that will make your economy to be considered as working.

Sw did not experience any destruction during the civil war yet today all sw states are on the same level with the se. In other words u guys were sleeping while we came from behind to catch up with u. Wat a fucking shame

ALTERNATEID:


I’m in Nigeria and I know that we have functional seaports in Calabar, Warri, Port Harcourt and Onne. I’m also aware that FG has never denied any state approval for construction of seaport. Go and ask Lagos and Akwa Ibom governments.

Abge use the internet to check when mask line ask for approver, abi u tink say since the Eastern govt has been asking the fg to remove the execs checkpoint in the road they have complied

flokii:


It's called "consequences" my friend.. that is the heavy price Yorubaland is paying to house migrants and economic refugees from all parts of Nigeria. humongous debt to sustain infrastructure.

you make it sound like the visitors are freeloaders. They create wealth and pay taxes too.

ASAPFERG1:
but the oil and gas is not fro your landlocked unpleasant region

are you aware that imo state highest gas deposit in africa, and are on the 9th position on earth? And about two or three states in SE has crude

Igbo is Yoruba's wholesaler nationwide since most importation and manufacturing are domiciled with them. Igbo is increasingly installing and consolidating manufacturing bases as a direct fallout of their dominance of domestic trade. Lagos is getting a good chunk of the Igbo "can do" spirit with its accommodation of the major shipping ports and airport. There is a reason the situation of functional ports in other parts of the country, specifically in the SE, continues to be vehemently frustrated in what appears to be a conspiratorial arrangement.

You will equally find Igbo men and women in all the disciplines you allocated Yoruba men, effectively competing and dominating as always.

Yes, I recognize and salute the resilience and entrepreneurial spirit of Yoruba women. They have my respect. In place of making spurious claims of managerial and financial acumen, Yoruba may want to understudy Igbo in the various departments of her commercial life, including her incredibly successful apprenticeship system. You must first create wealth that will be administered.

There is a reason the United Kingdom's economy immediately shrank by nearly 6% upon Brexit. They are not wealth creators, but administrators. Compared to her top 3 European Peers, the United Kingdom has the least installed manufacturing base.

Yoruba will do herself a big favor when they stop envying, and start copying as China did. Igbo is already on a good course.

Bestmanfornow:

Three South-east states are now oil producing States, and Igbo tribes doesn't end in SOUTH-EAST, they still have largest gas deposits

Igbos have more stake in oil and gas especially gas than your ethnic group.

Even in the south south where I come,their communities have the highest of onshore production.

Also remember imo ,abia and Anambra are now nndc .
Soon Enugu will join the list

Apart from Lagos State which other state in the south west is more developed than Abia state
Federal GOVERNMENT build LAGOS

Abiia state! Wow Daddy
