Ikaeniyan0:Local Government must work, development of Lagos State should not only be about the Governor. Lagos State, New York City of Nigeria. |

Acidosis: As SoNature said, it is the way the country's economy is structured, especially for a heterogeneous country. Japan, for instance, has Tokyo as its economic nerve centre with the best jobs and commercial activities. However, it is homogeneous, so those in, say, Fukuoka in the south or Hokkaido in the north would not be so worried as commentators here, including those residing abroad as black people, of "foreigners" moving to their regions. So, young graduates, especially from other parts of the country, have no choice but to move to Lagos. Nigeria should be structured like the United States. For all its ills, I admire the way governance is spread across the US. 2 Likes |

Acidosis: Without being accused of cynicism, please where did you get that information from? The only way I think of it being accurate is that south south as a geopolitical region has so many ethnic groups, unlike the homogenous Southeast. But numbers are important since you stated it as a categorical fact. To be fair though, the southwest receives a lot of people from other regions because it is Nigeria's most prosperous region. However, other regions, including Kogi which is mocked here, rightfully so anyway, can equally be prosperous. 1 Like |

SoNature:[color=#006600][/color] The painful aspect is that Lagos state is the smallest state in Nigeria. If not for greed, why can't development be spread round the coastal states? |

Abufo: Exactly. I noticed that smell too anytime I visit Lagos. It's terrible. Even their water from the taps smells that way |

Mille: It is the unfortunate lopsided federal structure where certain strategic infrastructure are located in Lagos that are drawing people to Lagos, aside that there is absolutely 100% nothing that would make igbos prefer Lagos to any other city. If Lagos was never a federal capital, nothing would bring igbos to Lagos. |

flokii:.. shut the fvck up bloody liar There are hundreds of thousands of Yorubas alone here in Nnewi and many more in Awka and Onitsha Olaniyi monsur travel! And you lied about Igbos trooping in SW Infact there are more Yorubas in northern Nigeria than Igbos I know that because I have traveled far and wide Nigeria All studies have shown that only 7.9% of all the people entering Lagos are from SE a Whooping 89.3% are from rusticated brownroof states like Oyo and Thier rest poverty stricken states You people live in lies SE has the highest number of both upper classes and mid class people in Nigeria SE has the richest household By GDP SE States apart from Lagos beats all your gbajue states Should I talk about literacy rate? SE dominates Again I suggest you travel more and stop disgracing yourself here

babasolution: Well, you should say this to the Ronuists. They believe that their kith aren't domiciled elsewhere in Nigeria. BrodaBenad: Trust me, in a debate or argument or show of ethnic superiority in a public space, you will win resoundingly when you support your claims with facts. Why should anyone believe your numbers when they are not supported? While a stat from the NBS shows that the SE has the lowest poverty rate across Nigeria, that doesn't necessarily translate to having the "highest number of both upper classes and mid-class people in Nigeria" or the "SE having the richest households". I believe when these claims are supported with peer-reviewed facts from reputable and verifiable sources, we can have a better discourse and with those facts, certain misconceptions about the SE and other parts of Nigeria are demystified. |
