Per capita = $3k per person
Population = 18m

Ans = $54bn.

From Lagos state website:

http://www.lagosstate.gov.ng/index.php?page=subpage&spid=678&mnu=module&mnusub=ministry&mpid=25

·        25% Contribution to National GDP
·       Est. GDP of US$53.5bn (US$214bn – National GDP (2008) –WEF)
·        45% of Nigeria’s skilled labour force
·        Over 10,000 industrial & commercial concerns
·        Over 70% international air traffic (50% local)

Oh, okay. Thanks a mill, boss. Didn't factor that in earlier.

@Topic: If the census figures of 2006 read 9 million, and then rise to double the amount in just 5 years, then that spells serious doom for Nigerian urban settlements in terms of population growth. No-one seems to be paying attention to the rate at which we're growing, and this is getting rather worrying. I'm really worried.

Visit GenBuhari's thread for instance: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-693700.0.html. Read the articles slowly (from the first page) and pay attention to the steep rise in our population (via the citations in the articles); then you'll understand the serious wahala wey we dey for.

They have built it, see pictures

OMG!! Guy, you and your T.A. Orji are so SHAMELESS!!!!
Are these pictures not from the Nilam Puri Condominium in MALAYSIA?
I mean, this is their website for God's sake!: http://www.bukitpuchong.com.my/html/projects_nilampuricondo.html

Guys, this dunce hired by T.A. Orji is here posting pictures of a building in malaysia, and passing them as works by T.A. Orji!!

Is this not enough to indicate the epic SCAM this so-called project promises?

I mean, I remember when I faced off the likes of Andrewnwa and his numerous shameless IDs, but atleast in his case, his pictures were photoshopped. But in this case, what we have here are COMPLETELY FAKE images being passed off as the works of this shameless criminal known as T.A. Orji!!

Lord save us from these criminal sycophants!

Thanks boss, but the link you posted says nothing about Lagos' GDP coasting within the $54bn mark. All it says is a rather rough estimate of the per capita, which it describes at 'about $3,000'.

Actually Foday Sankoh (was a corporal in the SLA and also worked for SLBS, he was a critic of the govt, he got sacked and was jailed for a while) , when he was released he and two others went on to Libya where they started planning their own revolution, when they came back they formed RUF, they targeted the poor, filled their heads with dreams of wealth sharing, drugged the boys and so on.

RUF wanted to rule, they didnt want to rid Freetown of any foreign invasion, they wanted full control of the country's natural resources,Sankoh told his supporters he wanted to share the country's wealth amongst its people. Prior to the full scale war, the country had series of coup plots, the final and most deadly war, was a counter coup, January 6 1999, Captain Gborie took over and an hour or so after Johhny Paul took over, he invited the RUF,(Sankoh was not around he was arrested somewhere,Gen Mosquito was in charge and some other 15 year old) released all the hardened criminals and they started their own troubles. People were killed, i didnt watch the video up there, i have seen enough to last me a life time, friends,relatives,neighbours got killed, mothers were forced to be violated by their sons, fathers violated their daughters, pregnant woman had their bellies cut into, babies were amputated, people drink hot oil, wash your hands in hot oil, burnt alive, kids were taken, both boys and girls , boys to be injected to be fighters, girls to be their wives/cooks. So many wicked stuff, the old young heck every living being even if you were sick you would be forced to join them in their routine " we want peace dance". Nasty set of people who maimed, killed and hurt lots of people in very very wicked ways

21m mouths to feed everyday. Lagos GDP is $54bn

Actually, it's $33bn

You are merely seeking for attention and I won't be the one to bring you out of your caves. NL has given your likes jobless scammers the opportunity to troll the walls of internet space. I bet you, you are not above the people I feed on daily basis.

The number of times you have mentioned WAEC showed that you are still in secondary school. I pity the parents that gave birth to you because as I write this piece they must have given up on you as wasted child who has kept bringing bad name to your poor family. I have dedicated to help you jobless fool but you seems to be an . This is my last response and recognition to a monster like you. Goodbye owerri LovePeddler

Yessss! And unknown to you, you've only fallen into my trap of exposing you for the semi-literate gutter-sucking swine of a bigot you are; because it is only a glorified underachieving illiterate of your ilk that would be shockingly stuupid enough to harbor hatred for your fellow Igbos, badly enough to judge them along State lines. I mean, have you no shame?
As for your dull swipe about offering me a job, naaaah! I think I should be the one advising you to go pick up a job so as not to rot away in abject poverty like you're destined to. It is, however, unfortunate that your options will be extremely limited, as no-one would want to hire an all-round dunce like you; so you might want to settle into the role of a road-side vulcanizer, as that is the only job you're suited for.
And if you're still questioning my assertion on the fact that nothing more than a WAEC-level student, well, that's no fault of mine, as this fact is deep-rooted in your pathetically juvenile posts which expose you to be nothing more than a bloated overgrown slob with the IQ of a prepubescent child.
So, yes, your stupiidity is your birthright. Nothing more, nothing less

Pukkah:
Well, you may have a point in coming up with the First Lady's errors especially against the backdrop that the way she presents herself to the world, through verbal and non-verbal communication, should matter to all of us.  Afterall, she is the wife of our President.

However, you also need to take some time to fix your English troubles some of which I have highlighted below:

You used 'worst' instead of 'worse'.  Also, who's 'crying' here?

You should have written 'Recently, she said on STV that Nigeria is our continent'.  You ought to have made up your mind if you wanted to use 'recently', which should have a comma after it, or 'two months ago'.  In essence, you need to bring your 'syntax' under control.

Also, it is 'suicide' and not 'sucide'.

It is 'grammar' and not 'grammer'.

Need I say that you should remember to put a full stop at the end of each sentence?

Phew! Can you see how difficult it is to string correct sentences together even for someone like you who has presumably gone through an intensive grammar class?

Please be guided accordingly.

LMFAO!!! Owned!

Cool! Going back to my history books, shebi na Beroms follow participate for the killing of Igbos that led to the Civil War? Sorry, but right now, I'm tempted to sing Poetic Justice at the top of my lungs.
When you aid a ravaging tiger in its bloodthirsty killings, there shall come a time when the tiger will turn on you
So, with this, I hope more helpless Berom women and children are hacked to pieces everyday, and may their farmlands be eternally poisoned with the crimson-red blood of their fathers' sins.

YEEEEEE-HAWWWWW!

chino11:
@Areosapien, Your problem is idleness, whenever your ready I will make an opening for you to do your Industry Training in my office. How can you call up innocent members of NL and say that their IDs belongs to me. Whenever you are ready for help I will give you personally my contacts @ Udoka Estates, Awka. I assure you of good remuneration for you recover from your broken life.

LMAO! Your 'office'? Yeah, by 'office', I'm sure you're refering to your mom's cold, murky basement, where you sit your bony asss in front of Nairaland to strike the keyboard with your leprous fingers.
I bet you didn't see it coming that I'd expose you and your shameless IDs, you hopeless idle wretch.
And how can you be lying about having a job at Udoka when you can't even pass WAEC? Who do you think you're fooling?

So I'll give you one last warning, my hopelessly dull 'tribesman' - If you don't want your arse getting exposed on the internet again, then you best learn how to clean up on your act.

Smell you later, alligator.

LOL! Has anyone else noticed how Patriot2 neatly ignores KoboJunkie and her ramblings, even when she poses statements directly at him?

Hehehe. Kpele.

And here's a thread where he got properly owned!
nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-336779.352.html

LOL! We really destroyed him there when he tried to look down on Abians because of their current demented leader, forgetting no condition is permanent. The loser wanted to claim some fake superiority ish, only to end up digging himself into a shyythole

Dude, listen to yourself !!! Has
pathetic bigotry and animalistic
feudalism turned you to this?
How is Achebe more
representative ( ahead of the
likes of Martin Luther King,
Mandela, Biko ,Nkrumah,
Obama, Marcus Garvey, Bob
Marley, Haile Selassie,
Mohammed Alli, Michael
Jackson, Jesse Owen- the man
who embarrased Hitler- and
many others) as the "only
positive symbol of the black
race"? You are at the top level
of ethnic bigotry i.e the level
where folks lie to themselves and
use nonsensical logic and fantasy
to justify innate inferiority
complex and ethnically
motivated hatred of others.
Achebe and Soyinka are only
literary giants. Many black folks ,
with global influence, will be
viewed as far more "positive
symbols" ahead of those two.
I bow for the type of ethnic
bigotry jam inferiority complex
that would make the black race ,
and all its noble folks through
history, inferior in comparison to
a single Nigerian writer for you.
As a Yoruba man, Soyinka is not
even in the list of the 20 black
folks I admire most let alone
view him as the "only positive
symbol of black race" !!! What a
ridiculous statement. Shame on
you !!!!

You are actually wasting your time with that damn nutcase? You need to see the amount of bile and raging fiery hate that moroonic imbeciile harbors for EVEN IGBOS of Imo and Abia, to really understand the amount of pointless blind stupiiidity that has engulfed his wretched mind. His case is far beyond mere cyber-tribalism-for-laughs. His is REAL psychotic bitterness!  

Oh, and before I forget, his other numerous screennames include Ohaneze1 and Igbo Amaka, so watch out for that priiick whenever he tries to masquerade himself in different scrotal sacks.

I dey laugh ooo!

Mehn, that Miss Lagos chic is damn ugly!

“It is not so much a problem of freedom of speech,” he said, “but freedom after speech.

LMAO!

And this goes out to the cowardly you-know-who's, who still play 'houseboy' to the illiterate you-know-who's. . .
Well. . . Your time is coming

Some people may be offended about my opinion, but I honestly think the man deserved his death. It still ranks as the sweetest form of poetic justice I've ever seen.

a move which the party sees as detracting from cohesion and discipline which the party is known for

Excuse me?

You are hurting inside. I know it, Beaf knows it damn too well, KOboJ just got a taste of it, Kilode? got a glimpse of it a couple weeks ago, SEFAGO knows it too, DK, AIgbofa, Seun Osewa, Aregbesola, Bola Ige, Bola Tinubu and everyone on NL and Nigeria know how deeply hurt you are.

You can tell a person suffers from a deep sense of social rejection and depressingly cheap self-worth, whenever he desperately (and shamelessly) begins to string people's names into his comments because he's run out of things to say to a vastly superior adversary.

The stench of your desperation and your pathetic, cockroach-like nature stinks even through the internet

GAWD!!!

21 gunshots to the great 'progressive' Yoruba rascals!

LMAO!! My belle wan tear o! So, Chino11 makes a post on Awka and then congratulates himself and his picture with his two IDs Ohaneze1 and Chy101. What a shameless sad clown
Who doesn't know Ohaneze and Chy101 are both Chino11 the Igbo bigot who even harbors fiery hatred for other Igbos of Imo, Abia and Enugu descent?
I no fit laff ooo!

This little prepubescent child must really take us for cretiiins his ilk.

Oh boy, biko go and study on how to pass your WAEC instead of exposing your crusty dirty arse on the internet, you worthless social peon!

Guys, I understand it's now become fashionable to blame Jonathan for every single thing that isn't going right in the Solar System, but what's the meaning of this? Please, try to be objective here. This one isn't his fault, but the body itself. If he felt like bestowing an award on this person, and discussed this with the body in charge of it, don't you think the burden is on the members of the board to check their past records and notify the president on this?
These days, we're all looking for excuses to blame and heap insults on the man.
This isn't even funny anymore biko. You're all boring me now.

I think the Otono 1 can be used to hawk aboki-made sandals in the streets. You can use it to beat a quick retreat and escape when the tax collectors come dashing in.

What will happen? What will the majority southern spineless beings do to em? We could not even fight the scourge of MEND . . . had to bribe them to make them play nice. Abeg stop bragging about NOTHING AS USUAL -- typical Nigerian ALL MOUTH BUT NO ACTION moves. . . .We all know this is the reality even in the south.

The FG couldn't fight MEND, because guilty conscience no go gree them. They sabi say na dem dey at fault. Tell me how else our Niger-Delta brothers could've made their voices loud enough to our ignorant, greedy and deaf FG?
They came to their lands all in the name of oil mining. Ngwanu, if na to even drill and steal all the oil, no wahala. But can you justify polluting their air with toxic waste, polluting their drinking water with toxic crap, killing off their major means of livelihood (the fishes), and then leaving them used, hungry and economically crippled, without a source of food? let's not even go there. The FG sabi say na dem mess up big time, and I support the struggle (even though it's been hijacked by greedy politicians with ulterior motives).
But as for Boko? Which case dem get? Just killing people incessantly because they forcefully want to turn the entire country into a haven of moon-worshipping illiterates.
Abeg, the attack on Boko's is DEFINITELY welcome!

This has got to be the dumbest list I've seen in a while!!
So, by awarding Ringim, it means they actually are happy with his handling of our current security issue?
WTF!!!! These guys are useless! It's crap like this that makes me want to start mixing bombs in my kitchen!!

At least before they can reach the South-East and my South-South brothers, dem don hopefully wipe out the entire Middle Belt as well as their houseboys of the 1966-1970's . . . A.K.A. . . . Ala-Yoruba  

I hope they didn't nominate GEJ for the GCFR. . .

WTF!!?  

Whatever, mehn. Anything to wipe out the Jihadists is fine with me.
They should be sure to load up the drones with the BFG9000 cannons.
TOTAL MASSACRE!

Due to this egregious trend ethnocentrism that is ravaging this nugatory social network, i've found out that most of protagonist of despicable act of tribalism are not more a mere indolent , improvident and loquacious low lifers, unlike, what they portray themselves to be. The average tribalist here loves being garrulous and vindictive with the achievements of past generations without coming up with what they've achieved or intend to achieve personally. This nauseous act suppose to have gotten to the stage of where we'll ask ourselves whether we are retrogressing or progressing, otherwise, i wouldn't see why we'll keep swirling around the anachronistic achievements of the past generation. This notion of, " my tribesman achieved this or that" should transmogrify to, "i achieved this or that". Pls, i'm not trying to insinuate we should stop hallowing the past achievers, but, we should stop beind vindict with what the suffered for.

Kosovo has returned!!!

So wetin dem give the awardees?
