menabadoo:
that's what I want to hear. Lagos is no man's land. Yoruba can never lay claim on lagos.

Oya go drink garri ijebu without sugar.

superstar1:
I have said it on the SW thread. We need to up our game and stop glorifying ourselves for being outstanding among mediocres.

It is high time we start competing regionally with some Grade A developing countries.

Rayhut:
For you guys to find out which region is more productive, post the monthly allocation of every state from Abuja and minus it from the IGR, from that, the state that is highly productive will emerge. [size=14pt]Lagos should not be included with SW because even in the Nigerian constitution,[/size] Lagos is not part of South West, the six geo political zones is not recognized by Nigerian constitution and Lagos is a melting point for all Nigerians been the former capital of Nigeria and developed for ages with Nigeria collective wealth just like how Abuja is been developed now with Nigeria oil money.

omonnakoda:
This is a reflection not of the productivity of the state but the efficiency of the government . We must remember that in 1999 in Lagos it was about 12 billion Naira. Lagos economy has not expanded 20 times in that period .

Lagos is generating over 1000 naira per person a month . Are we saying that cannot happen in Abia or Anambra? The truth is the governments in some states are not serious. Look at Kwara state . That state is one of Nigeria's best kept secrets. Not very controversial and it seems quite prosperous wit a population of 1.5 million I would say it is one of the best performers when compared with states of similar population

OBAGADAFFI:
They forgot that these Lagos IGR stated increasing during Fashola Regime.

superstar1:
You are minding those jokers.

Can you remeber the noise they made over the upgrading of Akanu Ibiam to International Airport by ''their stealing daughter -- Stealer Odiah''.

Sincerely I felt the airport will turn to DBX or Heathrow or JFK within 6months. What have we witnessed ever since, MMA has quadripled in revenue generation and the revenue from their glorified airfield, that they are calling Intergalactic Airport, has dwindled by 7times.

FKO81:
Nobody is dragging Lagos wif you, Lagos is commercial hub of Nigeria, Both Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa/Fulani, Ijaw, and another minorities we all developed Lagos collectively, untill Nigeria disintegrate, then you can claim Lagos, for now Lagos is no mans land.

somegirl1:
A functional international port in the SE/ SS would reveal where a significant portion of Lagos's revenue comes from. An international airport with a variety of operators and routes to choose from would be the final blow.

kettykin:
The funny thing is that the lagos is 43% igbos, the majority of the companies that pay the huge pay as you go taxes and other taxes are owned by the north, Niger deltans and igbos.

Kennydoc:
So why are those climates not created in Oyo, Osun, Osun, Ondo and Ekiti, or does Ambode share his IGR with his fellow SW governors?

Kennydoc:
How come Lagos produces more than 1500% of what the state with the next highest IGR produces, if it's all about the SW? How come Oyo which hosts the headquarters of Yorubaland can't even boast of 20billion naira?

anonimi:
What has Ayo Turton DONE to ensure that ALL yoruba children are educated not just about our history & culture but also in Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics, STEM to make us VALUE creators in our homeland as the Indians, Chinese, Koreans, Malaysians are doing?
What has he done beyond plenty TALK only
What?


Talk is cheap- Enu dun ro efo.

falseman:
Please learn to argue or comment in a mature manner. Igbos are the least populated out of the 3 major ethnic groups with little land mass as well as minimal federal government presence yet they generate far more than the North that the Yorubas bow to.

Why can't you open your eyes to see which region is actually milking Nigeria dry rather than call Igbos at every given opportunity. Focus on North they don't generate nothing compared to their population and land mass.

God bless you.

Kennydoc:
The SE has 5 states while SW has 6 states including Lagos. 5 of the SW states are the typical Yoruba states while Lagos is a former federal capital city.
Take a moment and recalculate the cumulative IGR of the 5 typical Yoruba states and compare it to the cumulative IGR of the 5 SE states. Guy, despite all the noise, Oyo, Osun, Ogun, Ondo and Ekiti altogether produced a measly 57 billion naira in 2014. Wherein lies all your boasts?

Chai!

gustav25:
I like this man ....let's forget tribe in this issue (Igbo/Yoruba) borno is like twice the size of all se and still nothing ....truly now I believe in blood sucking demons

NRIPRIEST:
How can one discuss with a senseless entity like you? Its a waste of energy and brain power. You are a disgusting and a shameless tribalist who can't have a conversation devoid of tribal undertones.

IYANGBALI:
omo see Lagos own,no wonder those heboes wan claim Lagos by all means.

FKO81:
corrected, Lagos is collective efforts by all Nigerians thanks

NRIPRIEST:
Ileke your own case is beyond human comprehension. You are blindly ignorant and draft. Your brain cells can't process information. You barge into any thread ranting like a demented demon. You need to chill the ffuck out...nawaa!

akins56:
egbon, you get time ooo, those peeps are idiots nw, tell them to come and govern lagos, they tot their 2 by 2 shops counts, the tax paid by dangote alone is 100 times their entire investment in lagos.

arcis:
So what's keeping Igbos in Lagos....if they know they have a lot to contribute....they should go back to east n develop it....
