Noneroone:
go back to the article.

Noneroone:
check the foreign investment statistics of Abia state last year. It is the second largest in the country despite Aba itself being the strong with seperatist agitation. Note that the East enjoys more local investment. The whole world know what's happening in the East is agitation. The west is suffering from sectarian violence and it's increasing and this is what killed North.

Whatever you are trying to prove Nigerians control Lagos economy not Yoruba, you know how scanty Lagos always look when section of the country travel for yuletide, imagine how Lagos will look when the country divide everybody relocate to their regions those structures doesn't make economy it's the people, not owning the skyscrapers it's being active and people able to afford to rent it used the ones in Ibadan as a case study, 2% utilized, the last time I was there they don't even have money to maintain the buildings, the lift isn't working, today same Oyo that was once a vibrant economy today is number 17 on GDP, states that went through the war has surpassed Oyo state, when Nigeria cease to exit then you will understand better

Bestmanfornow:
No matter how you trying to change the history Nigerians and their foreign partners built Lagos economy

tctrills:
Oh a toilet paper is your evidence. Now what does the 1891 population of Lagos have to do with today's Lagos. Oga what is your point exactly. Your are not making any?

Bestmanfornow:
You guys are just giving yourselves sleepless nights and making silly arguments over nothing Lagos GDP has nothing to add to Yoruba race or wipe out the poverty in other southwest states, Nigerians and their foreign partners built Lagos economy, you guys can celebrate Lagos economy if it remain on top when Nigeria ceased to exist then we will know who are the movers, you guys should continue agitating for Oduduwa republic that should be you guys priority

tctrills:
First, there was no nation called Yoruba land before the British came. There were many Yoruba speaking nations.
Secondly the Portuguese owned the port in Lagos not the Yorubas.
Again Lagos no longer uses the ports established by the Portuguese so how does what you wrote connect with the present topic?
So what's your point exactly.
Lastly you are very ill informed. Have you heard of the Sahara trade routes. That was were most of the international business of the north passed through not Lagos. Please learn to study my brother.
Let me summarize your point.
The Portuguese built Lagos. Then the British continued from where the Portuguese stopped.
Then the Nigerian government continued and the people of Nigeria from various tribes all added value to Lagos. I am sure we both agree here.

tctrills:
You clearly don't understand. Lagos had by far the least percentage of Yorubas compared to any other SW states so that's a clear fact that it's greatness has nothing to do with Omoluabi's .
Oyo has a far greater percentage of Omoluabi's but a much smaller economy than Imo with almost no Omoluabi. This simply shows that Lagos is a Nigerian project and should be handled differently from the other SW states. I hope you understand it now.

PHIPEX:
Sorry, I didn't know your problem was this bad. Have you heard of Amalgamation of 1914? Have you heard of Southern and Northern protectorate? Have you head of Calabar being the first political capital of Nigeria until it was moved to Lagos in 1906? So in your small mind coloniaĺ masers came to Nigeria in 1914?

Go and buy JAMB form, no wonder some of you have such false sense of importance.

Point 3: Calabar the Capital of Southern protectorate from 1900 - 1906 . Excluding Lagos Colony and Protectorate (South West)

forgiveness:
Olodo.

Carter bridge - 1901

Apapa wharf - 1913

Lagos - Ibadan railway- 1901

Telephone cable from Lagos to London - 1886

Lagos - Kano railway - 1911


Who built it? Omoluabis.


How? No other ethnic group existed in Lagos as at the time all these were built save Hausa and Tapa.

PHIPEX:
So those were not done by "Nigeria" but done by "Lagos" as you claimed? Go and buy JAMB form. Who told you "Nigeria" started in 1960? Your free education teacher did not teach you the colonial masters were the "Nigeria" of the years you quoted?

You can as well say First Bank of Nigeria was started by "Lagos" since it was started in 1894 in Lagos, Olodo

tctrills:
Oh they did. But under the leadership of the British, the military and even the civilian leadership.
Your government has invested much more on Lagos infrastructure than any where else. From sea ports to the airport. To building of estates, road network etc.

PHIPEX:
It's obvious you didn't go to school. What does "pre-date Nigeria" mean and who built what you mentioned. Goodbye

tctrills:
I think the Lagos argument is very unnecessary.
We only look to Lagos while the rest of the SW is trailing behind.
The Government of Nigeria has made Lagos the only state suitable for large investment and ignored the other 35 states.
This is a problem and not a reason to celebrate.

PHIPEX:
Why do some of you talk like you have never entered the 4 walls of a school? Mention 1 thing, just 1 development in Lagos today that pre-dates Nigeria? Stop embarrassing sensible Lagosians

jmoore:
Lai Lai Mohammed grandkids don drop quote.

forgiveness:
Lagos already had electricity, telephone, tram, railway, banks, bridges, roads, street lights, houses, port, big economy etc as at 1891. That was long before British annexed Northern Nigeria, South South and other parts of Nigeria and even before the amalgamation of Nigeria in 1914. Even long before your ethics group enter Lagos.

Where did the money come from to develop Lagos as at then?

Rather, it was because other part of Nigeria were too unprofitable as at then, the British had to merge Lagos and SW with other regions to sustain and develop them. British used Lagos money to develop Nigeria. Facts.

Without Lagos and SW money, other regions will be like sudan.

These are the inhabitants of Lagos in 1891 when all these developments were already available in Lagos and sw while other regions were still fighting British in their enclaves.

jmoore:
Anyone with a working brain knows that Lagos used its advantage as a former capital to have leverage above others.

Yarimo who is from Iragbiji in Osun state will be claiming Eko o ni baje.

swiz123:
Why are we defending deep? We are definitely going to concede.

Keep fooling yourself on social media this is video of Eko Atlantic city 2024 after how many years, you guys should continue with your hostility, the world is watching

santaclaws:
The illiteracy you guys display when talking about this Lagos & port issue is just alarming.

Some of you think there aren't ports in other states... these ports are working. But you all want to compete with a city of 20m people that has thrived since the since the 60s 😂😂😂

South-south people have nothing to do with you guys, stop clinching them! The East is technically a land-locked region, if you seclude yourselves from Nigeria, you'd be shooting yourselves in the foot. Niger delta have nothing to do with you guys, stop talking about their ports and oil... 😂😂😂

This is MamiChula Beach owned by Bolaji Ariyo, he has lost everything because of the Lagos -Calabar coastal Highway.

Did you see him making noise and blackmailing the government to discontinue the project because of his business?

Your blackmail cannot stop the development. It is a success already.

agabusta:
It is when this sandfilling started that Landmark was able to implement some amusement installations on this their water front as it significantly cut down the tides.

Bestmanfornow:
I know how many Igbo rich men that acquired land in Eko Atlantic city till today they've refused to develop that place, Eko Atlantic development is stagnant, Chagoury group that's funding Eko Atlantic see that Landmark is getting all the attentions in tourism and entertainment in Lagos they just used out of envy to destroy Landmark, Tinubu will come and go Eko Atlantic will remain like this,
