Don't know y Nigerians shy away from truth especially when one is involved. unarguably, Lagos is what it is today >90% because it has been the political, economical & administrative hub of Nigeria.

These caused embassies, international airport, national theater, to name a few to be sited in Lagos and no one can overemphasize the positive impact of these to Lagos economy in all ramifications

Now can anyone reminiscene this region when calabar was the Centre of govt? Someone mentioned here that Lagos went on a down curve when the capital was moved to Abuja - WHY? An answer was given that it was the civilian govt that revived it - blatant lie. Were the structures and people moved or what percentage of people moved. All states have liason office in Lagos tell us in which states has Lagos built a liaison office.
To end this matter for now, let the FG aactivate just sea ports in other states along the coast and see economic response in those states.

Nigeria economy is monopolized by Lagos - even access to some oil/gas platforms are closer from other states but we continue to use Lagos to access these platforms. Indeed, I agree that Nigeria backwardness is caused by Lagos. Let FG begin to look at developing other states in line with their endowment then Lagos would have been depopulated. Mass exodus of youth to Lagos for white collar jobs or township euphoria would have been seriously reduced.

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.

You saw a little child going through abuse and all you did was to invite him into your house and interview him, offering him food whenever he wanted? You could not notify the relevant authorities about what the little boy was going through? In saner climes, that'd have been the first step of action. The abusive parents would be prosecuted for their deeds and the boy would be given a better life. Offering the boy to come eat at your place whenever he wanted wasn't enough. It should have dawned on you that sooner or later, something like this might happen. And it did.
RIP little one. At least you're away from this evil and revolting world. You're in a safe place now.

The last thing on their mind. How would Jigawa, Yobe, Bornu, Kebbi, Niger, Benue, and a host of other parasites survive?

I'm just wondering right now who is spending the billions and billions of dollars Obasanjo spent for 8years trying to improve electricity.

One thing's for sure, that money wasn't spent on Nigerian electricity. Maybe Cameroonian electricity.
