The situation like we have in Nigeria is not available in Germany. Germany is to a certain degree evenly developed if we exempt the states formed from the erstwhile GDR. In your list, the country where you can possibly find the Lagos/Nigeria situation would be China/Guangdong. The gap in development between the States/Provinces in the other countries listed are not as wide as found in Nigeria.

By the way, how do you come about that Bavaria wields such power and influence that is attributed to Lagos in Germany? Bavaria is not even the state with the largest economy in Germany. North Rhine Westphalia is the largest state in Germany population and economy wise. If you talk of per Capital income, she is not even the number one either. Hamburg has higher per capital income than Bavaria. Bavaria is nevertheless a very rich German state, but she does not have such position Lagos has.

You are right, Germany is now more evenly developed and the disparity I was trying to point out is not easily noticeable.
This is also true for the other countries I mentioned but if you dial the clock back to when these countries were still developing then you will fully understand what I was trying to point out.
These economic positions are obviously not written in stone especially when other regions are also working hard to get ahead.

Some regions like California and Ontario have been able to hold on to their leading positions in their various countries for a very long time and I have never heard of a situation when any of them was regarded as stunting the development of their sister states, instead other states are constantly working hard to improve their own economy.
My main concern therefore is why are other states not trying to catch up with Lagos? Government should not be compelling private companies to locate their headquarters or businesses anywhere, that is not how businesses operate. If you provide a conducive environment for them to come to your state, I think they will come without any coercion.

southernbelle:
I love this thread, its been very educating reading through.

God bless you jare. Some prefer to go through life blustering and pretending to know what they have no clue about. They offer only jaundiced opinions based only on primordial sentiments.

Bobby808:
who is this riff raff? Do you know what it means to play lego blocks? You are most likely to come from the quota region, where Buhari himself came from. Those are the people without brain regions. Dumbest people's region.

What does it mean to play with lego? Mr. Man from sharp people's region. Please tell me, I need to learn.

Oksman:
Indeed you just announced your foolishness by that response! Quit man you're wrong.

Back up your assertions with evidence and convince your readers that you are right and that I was indeed wrong. Throwing around invectives is a sign that your are frustrated and have nothing to offer.
Show nairalanders you are not foolish by telling them exactly why I am wrong and why you are right.
Your foul language means nothing to me other than the fact that you are empty and have nothing sensible to say.

GrandGarcon:
I now wonder who is rambling? You said I should go and play with lego blocks that I don't have a brain, now how can one play with lego blocks without a brain? How does that point at being proud of lego blocks? I say yes, you have a brain but its reasoning capacity is the same as that of a foetus.

You need to save your energy for the herculean task ahead of you. You won't overtake Lagos by chatting garbage on the internet. You will not do it by crying and sulking like a child who got his toy taken away. Get off nairaland and start working, put your yam legs to work.

GrandGarcon:
You see? How can somebody without a brain even play with lego blocks? I will say it again, you reason like a foetus. After you will say you are being insulted, while I am telling you the truth.

It must be a thing of pride for you to be playing with lego blocks at your age. I have no time to chat with idiotic trolls. If you don't want Lagos to develop faster than your region then work extra hard to overtake it. If not, then STFU.

GrandGarcon:
You are calling someone a kid while you reason like Foetus , It won't be well with the brits.

You reason like you have no brains at all. Don't you have some Lego blocks to play with rather than making a fool of yourself online?

Persecution complex. If Biafra should become independent with this mentality it will rival only North Korea in its isolation. Another hermit kingdom in the making.

GrandGarcon:
So a grown up like you doesn't know that when you hold somebody down uou are equally holding down yourself.

Calm yourself down kid. There's no evidence of deliberate or systemic scheme to hold anyone down.

Even the Lagos you are all screaming about was on a downward trend after the Federal government moved to Abuja until the civilian government came in and luckily the governors of Lagos have done remarkably well to rescue the trend.

Tell your own governors to put your states and your people first.

GrandGarcon:
Oh yes, No wonder when Biafra is mentioned, your private part becomes erect.

Are you this dumb or is it a temporary thing? Your Biafra is just a tiny part of Nigeria and not everything revolves around it.

GrandGarcon:
You are the one who is making a fool of yourself, if a fool at forty is a fool forever what will be said of a fool at 50, 100 years of existence and almost 60 years of independence and this is what you can boast of, yeye people.

Your ranting has nothing to do with why Lagos is ahead of other states in development. You are just ranting foolishly for the sake of it.

GrandGarcon:
mr man stop talking nonsense. In the US you have, New York, California, Texas, Los Angeles. In China you have Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Beijing in the main land, outside mainland you have Hon Kong, Macao, Japan has, Yokohama, Kyoto, Osaka, even Chiba and Shizuoka, Canada has Ontario, Toronto Calgary etc.

And you think all those places developed at the same time and at the same rate? Educate yourself before you come online to make a fool of yourself.

GrandGarcon:
Another nonsense! We are not taking about all parts developing at the same rate, it is to punnish Biafrans that the country was set up like this, all the sea ports in Nigeria except the lagos one are not functional, where in the east or in the niger delta will you find a true international airport? In those countries, airports are built when you have the means, but in Nigeria it is based on politics. Abegi forget that thing.

Whatever rocks your boat. When your judgment is clouded with ethnic jingoism you tend to see everything that way.

darfay:
The article is very correct. in Nigeria even after living in ondo and schooling in Benin you must come to Lagos for ordinary white collar job
Every city in the countries you mentioned have their competitive advantage Chicago is as big a financial centre as NYC while Texas is a good rival to California. In Germany Frankfurt,Berlin,Hamburgetc
The article is spot on no excuse for Lagos dominating a large country like Nigeria

Every country I mentioned had similar experiences in the beginning, it may not look like that now because these countries are now more evenly developed. With time, the gap between Lagos and other states will gradually close.
There's nowhere on the planet where all the regions developed at the same rate.

I think what we are seeing regarding Lagos is true for many other countries, for Germany it is Bavaria, for USA it is California, China the Guangdong region, Canada it is Ontario. Lagos is not underdeveloping the rest of Nigeria it is actually doing the opposite.

Henryyy:
Am a yoruba man and tbh am very angry at some of the comments on this thread.Many people have taken the ethnic jabs way too far on this thread .Ive heard igbos are the brain behind nl tribalism and shii but pls this are adults,people's mothers maybe even grandmothers.Please respect them if not for anything but their old age respect them and chill with the insults.

There's a picture of some grannies from Ekiti that has been posted on this particular thread, this picture has been posted before like a million times on nairaland by Igbo ethnic warriors, what do you have to say about that?

Nkem4040:
Typical Afonja response. Who told you that Igbos are blacks like you Afonjas? Remember we look different and these jews can spot the difference. Igbos look like Eritran or Ethiopian blacks while Afonjas look like Kenyans or South Sudanese blacks. I would rather dine and live with a racist jew than to be with an envious Afonja.

Hehehehe. ............Eritreans in deed.

OkoNDOoBo:
Igbo fair skin still remains a myth ,all I see here is black ugly ducklings,with slacked boobs,overbleached body, dirty old rags,with yam legs everywhere

One even said they look like Ethiopians and Eritreans. I don't see that similarities in these pictures.

Airway robber.

LexngtonSteele:
Just use my "silence for a fool" pix for him....all the so-called business he is doing on NL, all the clients have been warned that he is a useless sexual predator and rapist.

Lmao

tonytony208:
Be very careful before you mistakenly ffuck your blood sister.

You come across as someone who would do exactly just that. You pretty much confirmed it here in front of the whole world.

tonytony208:
You sound like ffucking minors is your area of expertise

You sound like a deranged sexual predator. How can you justify such a sick conduct in public view! Sickos everywhere.

LexngtonSteele:
We have already identified him as a rapist, some of the others have showed their colors on this thread. Soon, we would see :

A nairalander "tonytony208" was caught trying to grope a woman in a bus at Ojuelegba, after the woman descended on him with hot slaps,

the crowd gathered to teach him a lesson he would never forget

It's a matter of time before tonytony208 makes front page

Lolzzz, you can't leave a child with that dude I swear.

tonytony208:
You are commenting without adequate info. So you are the daft and obstinate fool here. Watch the video first and you will agree that your entire life is a waste of oxygen.

You are definitely a potential rapist. There's absolutely no justification for what you saw in that video, that is if you watched it at all.
What adequate info? There's enough there to get you convicted as a sex offender.

tonytony208:
It is clear you are an unrepentant, and probably generational, idiot. If your life doesn't depend on mtn 10mb, open that video and watch instead of commenting like a blind, obstinate fool

You sound really daft, I can assure you that you are just one erection away from groping a stranger to some hairy guy groping your backside in jail.

tonytony208:
Open your eyes wide and watch the video, then you will agree that your comments are senseless and stupid.

I have seen folks like you go to jail for foolishness like this. It appears you think with your prick.

tonytony208:
Use your brain and eyes if they are not dead yet. That girl is not unsuspecting. She was feeling the thing, yet she stayed put. Looks like stupid sentiment has blinded your reasoning

You don't know what she felt, you are only assuming she was aware of what was going on. I doubt she invited or agreed to what that fool was doing to her. Use your brain if it is not dead yet, that could be your daughter, your sister, your wife or your mother next time.

AllHailBiafra:
Dawn with you kid

Done, not dawn.

AllHailBiafra:
I bet if you're matured you wouldn't have uttered the previous statement and you probably mayt be a JJC on nairaland.

Yeah right. If you were matured you wouldn't even think of molesting unsuspecting women in a public queue.

tosyne2much:
The worst of all is that some people even erupt in that process

If it touches the woman without her consent that is assault right there.

AllHailBiafra:
How old are you?

What a question! Is there an age when it is appropriate to act in a lewd manner in public?
