Same reason UK sponsored many event in Nigeria everytime

Only a lunatic thinks Tinubu needs a kobo for governing Nigeria

How will a normal human being want municipality unclean water like UK in tropical Lagos

Are people just foolish

The foolish people living in tropical Singapore and other Asian cities also don’t have clean water, hence they are doing open defecation like Tinubu’s modern city.

Cholera outbreak looms in Lagos communities, as residents use canal, lagoon as toilet

A 45-year-old resident and father of three, Mr.Fatai Lamide told PUNCH HealthWise that no building in the community has toilet facilities.

The Oyo State-born mechanic said, “We don’t have toilet in this area, including our compound. This canal that you see serves as toilet to all of us living in this area. We defecate inside nylon and throw it inside the canal.

“For people that don’t want to use nylon, they have a special bucket that they use after which they pour it inside the canal too.

WHAT STOPPED YOU FROM DEVELOPING OTHER REGION WITH THE OIL MONEY FROM NIGER DELTA?

NIGER DELTA STATES RECEIVE MORE ALLOCATION THAN LAGOS, BUT STILL THE REGION IS NOT DEVELOPED.

NO BE PRIDE OTHER REGION CAN MATCH THE ENTERPRISING SPIRIT OF THE LAGOSIANS AND THE SOUTH WEST IN GENERAL.

IRRESPECTIVE OF YOUR ETHNICITY, IF YOU ARE BORN OR RAISED IN LAGOS....YOU ARE A SPECIAL BREED.

EKO FOR SURE.

..ok and why can't the niger Delta states be developed like Lagos..with all the huge federal government allocation, 13% derivation funds given to Niger Delta States and with Niger Delta development commission (NDDC) in the niger Delta states...the niger Delta states in the south south are not developed...Niger Delta states, the South south states supposed to be the Dubai of nigeria if the South south states governors had used the money given to them very well..so Lagos State used the money well given to them to develop Lagos even if it is Niger Delta money

Do you guys ever for once think at all about how finances for the refinery that processed the crude oil you claimed developed every part of Nigeria came about? The crude I Niger delta belongs to Nigeria not your people just as the ores from oyo and ekiti don't belong to the yorubas but Nigeria.

Abegi! Niger delta should be the Dubai of Africa with revenue allocation and special ministry created for its development but corruption from that region will not. In fact corruption in that region is second to non,all we keep hearing is our "oyel" money, the owner of the oil what have you done with the money derived.

You are so daft, and ill-informed. Why have the region that have been receiving 45% derivative unable to replicate same. Perhaps I should remind you that, Lagos has always contributed more to Nigeria and the development of other areas. You are told lies amd your ignoramus cannot do little research, what am I even saying. If you can be told Buhari was a clone, and you believed, what else would your kind not believe?
Even before emergence of oil, Lgos had always been ahead of the rest of Nogerian States...Google it and find out, as the center of slave merchants, it serves as center for exchange of slaves and services. Then in the 70s during oil boom, the oil was not what developed Lagos, but the mass migration to Lagos from other regions. Just as even after the capital was removed from Lagos in the 90s, when the population stood at 7M, that didn't deny Lagos the needed growth and development to still remain No. 1 spot. The population has grown to over 20M even after removal of FCT. Lagos experienced a population explosion, untamed economic growth, and unmitigated rural migration. This caused the outlying towns and settlements to develop rapidly, thus forming the present-day "Lagos Metropolitan Area", also known as "Metropolitan Lagos". There is no denying the fact today that the money gotten from Lagos as a result of these development, are still been divided across the nations to cater for the rest of you who are lazy, that cannot bring ideas where revenues can be generated. Your siblings keep trooping to Pagos everyday for opportunities. The population growth is what you should ask yourself. Why did people choose Lagos as a place to migrate to; 1. The people are friendly 2. Accomodating 3. Sociable (love life) 4. The mass trooping of people ofcos brought development and business boom. Create any business, the market is available 5. Security as compared to your region where group of boys can hide in bush with guns and start killing people in the name of marginalisation. Etc

Lagos also enjoyed good governance in the past and present unlike your regions.

With your small population and the high money you get monthly from FCT, what do you do with it? Why has your place remain stagnant, unable to match even the Mainland.

History of the Lagos civilisation, why Lagos is ahead of you all in innovations and critical thinking. From Raji Rasaki, AMike Akhigbe, Michael Otedola, Buba Marwa, BAT, Fashola, Ambode, and now Sanwo Olu. Tell me one governor orlf notable character worthy of emulation in your region? Just one.

Lagos was bombarded by the British in 1851, annexed on 6 August 1861 and declared a colony on 5 March 1862.

Lagos had already become a cosmopolitan trade center in 1872, perhaps you don't know, if your fathers will tell you the truth, ask them, or simply ask Google.

Lagos as a colony and protectorate was because of the civilisation incorporated into Southern Nigeri in February 1906, and as such Lagos became the capital of protectorate of Nigeria in January 1914. Since then, it has grown to become the largest city in West Africa. That's a unique blessed land and because of the people friendliness and terrain. The lagoon nourished the social and even political being of the city and people of Lagos.

Your fathers that migrated to Lagos came with Ghana-must-go and in night but from Onitsha. Lagos blessed them, they found rest and built houses and own properties,they didn't come with money to develop Lagos, they were blessed in the land and as such contributed to its growth. If they didn't find peace here, they would uave returned years back, but instead, they brought in their brothers, cousins, nephews etc.

Perhaps you do not know why Lagos was picked despite not being the center of Nogeria, Lagos was way advanced, and stood as heterogenous Town populated by groups of people from other various regions. You see, while Lagos was advancing prior being a colony, your people were still practicing cannibalism and killing of twins. Do you know how many Missionaries were killed in your region? You were still practicing idolatry massively. This gave Lagos its electric character with increasing social stratification and contrasting lifestyles for growth.

That why a slogan in Lagos says " Eko gba ole, o gba ole" Lagos admits thoces and the lazy as well.
" Eko o gba gbere" Lagos do not condone lasciviousness"
"Eko wenjele"
Etc and Eko never sleeps.
Even Ibadan was way ahead of your regions in terms of development in those years, and Ibadan was developed with Cocoa money and so was other regions.

I will burst your ignorant bubbles.
The cash crops that generated revenue for Nigeria before oil emergence were Rubber (SS Delta precisely), Cotton, Cocoa & Coffee (SW), groundnut, hide and skin (NE)and Palm kernel and Oil Palm from (SE).
There are others...but the one that Nigeria depended on largely for revenue was Cocoa. Ask your grandfather's. At that time, Nigeria was self-reliant on food production but the whole country developed through cocoa majorly. Just when oil was discovered in 1957, and by 1963, some people became greedy and wanted to part way, forgetting they had bn enjoying sources from other regions before oil came. Still, the derivatives was shared and they were getting more allocation, agriculture was still thriving until the early 80s when lt began to die gradually.

Even while the IBB regime decided to take FCT from Lagos, Lagsoos population stood at 4M as at 1993, that didn't stop the nation from growing. Since the FCT was taken from Lagos, Lagos grew steadily from 7M to 25M and over today between 1999 and 2023. That's over 300% growth compared to when fct was taken from Calabar, it became deserted until recently.

Take FCT from Abuja today, and see how empty the place will be in 20 years. Cos, there is absolutely no life there. The only place you can organise a show successfully with all minds at rest and return on investment is still Lagos. 👌
The land is blessed.
