So long as the Onne, Warri, Calabar and other sea and river Ports are not fully functional, Murtala Mohammed international Airport remains the primary hub for airlines coming into Nigeria, the railway isn't fully functional, this overcrowding and traffic congestion issue will remain perpetual.

Lagos has been structured to retain almost all the economic headquarters in the country and this is one of the consequences, others include;

Perpetual Pollution issues
High Accommodation costs
Man made disasters etc

Ugosample:
this is a silly comment to make

Warri would have been a relatively safe city rivalling Lagos
it has a port
And many Oil Coys were anchored there

But when the myopic, short sighted and stupid youths and people began there kidnaps; harassment and creating an atmosphere of chaos and insecurity
many fled to lagos
the companies fled to Lagos

Port Harcourt has taken that same self destructive route with "devee" ; harassment, cultism etc in the state
many have fled to Lagos and Abuja as well.
now port Harcourt is quick descending into a poohole

Kano and Kaduna would have easily been rivals to Lagos
But ethni religious crisis and violence have made many flee Kano and Kaduna to Abuja and some to Lagos
assuming Kano and Kaduna were not time bombs, many youths would have been moving there as an alternative to Lagos as was done in the 1980s

what about onitsha?
onitsha used to be a nest of vipers
kidnapping
robberies
etc
our people fled to Lagos
built homes and opened their businesses in Alaba

tho now things have improved greatly and peoole are now moving to onitsha
even night life and shoprite and other businesses for leisure like that are springing up
would this have been the case 15 years ago?

what of Aba being a cesspit ruined by successive state govt there?

Lagos is receiving all these crowd and investment because of the relative safety (I said relative) and businesses are setting up there, and if course the relative tolerance
it has created opportunities for many

But the moment Lagos adopts the self destructive path other cities have adopted in Nigeria
people and businesses will flee to Abuja

so before we talk
we need to go to the root of the matter
to understand why Lagos is congested.

not all the emotional excuses some are giving

Pato5:
I agree with u but developing other states takes determination and commitment from those states so till that happens let Lagos stakeholders work to make Lagos better.

selemo:
Kudos my guy I think the best thing is to develop other states seaports in other to reduce stress and cost of living here...

uuzba:
Who does the development?
As a guy, I believe you can arrange your house.
If power reach, can do your compound.
If you still have energy, you need to gather your neighbours/association and fix up your street.
You need to be a heavy big boy to fix up your estate. And that's the highest power a single fellow has
The state roads are in the hands of the government and if those roads remain erroded and impassable, vehicles and business cannot function.
That's why people will still run out and back to Lagos.
Other state governments need develop their states as individuals cannot do this

cenaman:
there was a day i track from costain to cms hoping to board a bus there to lekki, ladies and gentlemen i boarded a bus going to lekki on reaching bonny cantonment traffic jam, we spend 2hrs from bonny cantonment to law school bus stop. na so i kuku come down from the bus and use my legegi benz reach lekki phase 1.

Ishilove:
We keep making headlines. Even CNN has noticed.

okeniti:
If Sanwoolu wants to leave a proper legacy, open waterways for affordable boat public transport ALL OVER Lagos. Waking up at 4-5AM for job that starts 8AM is a ticking time bomb. A city of 24 million, all lives governed by traffic. Terrible stuff.

NOC1:
Las vegas vs Lasgidi.
westernization and its challenges, it comes with everything good, bad and Ugly it us a full package. but laws are meant to moderate the excesses.
did they break any law? probably none exept the law of morality which is a personal issue.

Gentlewarrior1:
Well life itself is filled with risk

What is lost today makes way for a greater gain

No investment lost supercedes the gain of having an igbo nation.

A country worthy of patriotism. One which i can gladly die for and do everything within ones capacity to push to greater heights.

An igbo nation will be miles ahead of niggerarea no two ways about it

Are you the one going to compensate your fellow Nd'Igbo who have worked for years, if they lose their investments?? Tell us, o!"

sassysure:
Build school close to her area so it can benefit others from her area too.
In this day and age where schools are on every street, somebody is still trekking miles to school.

Of what benefit is that motorcycle.

The day there is no money for fuel, what happens?
Or the person who should be carrying her isn't available.

Unserious humans

Simplyleo:
There is a school close to her but the dad felt the the school was good enough. And You know how some schools in the North look like.

Gentlewarrior1:
Lol. Why not; they are just investments. Material investments

The real investment is within us. The real investment is when the igbo nation leaps to greater heights. A country reasonable and civilized individuals with a need and a want for progress and prosperity.
No matter the challenge the igbo nation will be the biggest investment.
We are far from perfect and will face challenges but within a few years; ours will be a nation we can call our own. Sons and daughters of igboland in home and disapora can comfortably come home invest, run for office, aspire to be president and bring their various contribution towards the development of our Alaigbo. Within a short period of time we go be developing country ahead of many shitholes in africa

We have done it before and we can do it again and again. Only this time it will be better and everlasting

Wiseandtrue:
Temporary solution!!!

Utilize ports in other states to decongest Lagos!!!

The traffic is everywhere, it's too much!!!

chibnnodi:
The way forward is to diversify and open other ports, especially, the Calabar Sea Port. We can not run away from the truth. Must everything come from Lagos?

GeoAfrikana:
Chai! It's true ooo!!! If they renovate the ports in your place Lagos go dry. Most of the folks working in Lagos are from SS and SE.

But then that shouldn't stop us from diversifying. There's nothing wrong in having two mega ports in our country. I really hope that our government will consider renovating a port in SE/SE.

Kapeter:
onne port. Just a reminder

T9ksy:
Ok, so you fought for your freedom, was soundly beaten, lost 3million souls and still remains a slave.

In a way, we did fought for our freedom at Ore- would rather stay as a part of Nigeria (with all its imperfection) than became a vassal state to Ojukwu's rag-tag secessionists-cum-landgrabbing forces.

gidgiddy:
In modern day Nigeria, Yorubas dont have the backbone to fight for their own independence nation like Igbos once fought for Biafra.

There are things that Yorubas are good at, rising up to fight Nigeria for their sovereignty like Igbos once did is beyond Yorubas.

They are simply not made of that stuff. That's why they keep saying that Ojukwu ran away, to divert attention from the fact that 0jukwu did what no Yoruba man can ever do. To rise up and declare the independence and sovereignty of his people and fight Nigeria for for 3 years to keep it is no small feat.

A Yoruba can never ever do it. But if it is noise making, it will be a simple feat

gidgiddy:
These are the things that the real cowards who can never rise up and fight like to say so as to hide the fact that they are spineless cowards who can never lift a finger to fight for their sovereignty.

It is better for us Igbos to lose 3 million souls in our quest for freedom than to be spineless Yorubas who can never fight for their freedom even in a thousand years.

There is nothing like preventing war when it comes to freedom. Its either you fight for your freedom and hope for the best or you become someone's slave.

We Igbos proudly fought for our freedom, something the Yoruba nation can never ever do

So ondo state is not total Yoruba, no wonder someone said Ekiti and ondo are fake yorubas ...hmmmmm

KingOdart:
There is no Fake Yoruba

Ekiti state is a full Yoruba state

But in Ondo State there are some part of Ijaw people in Ondo

Guestlander:
Ekiti and Ondo fake Yorubas? No wonder someone said not everyone who is not running around nak.ed is sane.

gidgiddy:
Does it matter where the fight happend? What matters is that you know there was a fight. At least you know that Igbos fought

If you come back in a thousand years, you will never hear that Yorubas fought anywhere, whether in Yoruba land or on the moon

gidgiddy:
As I always say, Ojukwu fought Nigeria for 3 years for the Freedom of his people. Most Igbos would rather prefer an Ojukwu who fought for 3 years for the freedom of him and his people and ran away than a Yoruba man who can never fight for his freedom for even 3 minutes to even even talk about getting to the stage of running away

Fear those who can inflict maximum damage on you, without firing a shot, or engaging in physical battles with you.

H100:
Talking about the mistakes to avoid when searching for Job is all about proving your worth and working to earn the position, rather than waiting for an opportunity to fall on our lap.Be consistent, persistent and take a targeted approach. ...

– Searching Alone

Gaining help from other people could make your job search more efficient, more successful and less stressful.

– Non-ATS compliant CV/Resume.
( See Compliant Sample) Someone may say hey, forget that ATS stuff, they are the equivalent of black holes that gets nobody nowhere. but if you must know that whatever is worth doing is worth doing well

– Indeed, LinkedIn Profile is incomplete and lacks a summary plus Nairaland and other forum or blog comments lack seriousness
– CV/Resume and Platform Profiles are not aligned.

– Unfocused networking and Application.[/b]
Eg. If looking for role in construction, don’t waste time sending your CV/Resume to bankers.....

– No contact with recruiters.
Some applicants respond to emails from recruiters terribly late, sometimes, after over a year. Then they are surprised when the job has been filled. You have to participate in the process.

What if the candidate is not even on LinkedIn? Does LinkedIn itself cross-check anything you put in your profile??

dominique:
He didn't tag Nigeria police, he's busy tagging instablog and Tundeednut. Did he try out another police station for the report?

Chuks9000:
Go to police complaint Twitter handle

solmusdesigns:
Police report for an accident,? What is the officer going to write in the crime diary, will he also fill a docket and open a criminal case file also? The.truth is, the police officer knows the consiquences of issuing out any report with police letter headed paper,

Oga go and contact your lawyer to sharply write a petition or instigate a law suit, and make sure you report your insurer to their regulatory body if indeed your claims cover such freak accident.

gidgiddy:
As an Igbo man, I laugh when I hear Yorubas talk of war. A Yoruba man who has never fought the federal government will say that Ojukwu who fought for 3 years to free his people is a coward.

Somebody who has never fought is calling somebody who fought for 3 years a coward

Wonders shall never end

Yorubas dont have the backbone to fight like Igbos did, only good at making noise about fighting

One of King Kosoko's defense cheif was my mother's great grandfather, he is called Balogun Agoro Iposun.
The British exiled Kosoko to Epe after the war, Kosoko and Balogun Agoro went to stay in Epe.
The Balogun was the one who stopped the Ijaws and the Mahins from annexing Epe.
The Ijaws too are great warriors, they have been attacking Epe from the waters, trying to annex the coastlines on that axis, but they met their Waterloo when they met Balogun Agoro Iposun, they were drowned at a place called ITEBU, that place is called eyin osa, at Ibeju Lekki are of Lagos State today.
The remaining Ijaw armies on water fled in their boats,
Balogun Agoro told his soldiers not to pursue them.
The Balogun told his soldiers that they cannot venture TOO DEEP into the water, because he had no idea of the size of the Ijaw army on the other side of the water.
And so they continue to wait for the agressors, to come back, having take charge of every other available route.
The Ijaws knows what awaits them in Epe, they NEVER return.
Go to Afero village today in Epe, you will see long WALL of sand that were used as defense formation, where guards were positioned, to keep eye on the invaders and quickly nip it in the bud.
Only intelligent people fight war like this, not some suicidal morrons, facing gun shots with cutlasses.
Thank you for taking them to history class, peace.

Though Bloodhound sustained heavy canon fire from the shore, a landing party went ashore but met very stiff resistance.

Captain Jones led the attack party consisting HMS Bloodhound, HMS Teaser, a flotilla of boats including The Victoria and The Harlequien equipped with overwhelming fighting power engaged Kosoko in a battle lasting three days.

Kosoko put up a very stiff resistance however the Royal Navy's superior firepower won the day. Kosoko and his leading chiefs fled Lagos for Epe on December 28, 1851.

According to Samuel Davies, a Saro and younger brother of JPL Davies who participated on the British side aboard HMS Bloodhound, Kosoko would have inflicted great losses on the Royal Navy had he not relied solely on static defenses but had deployed his war canoes with their swivel guns.

The British sustained 15 casualties and 75 wounded men. A young JPL Davies was among the wounded. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reduction_of_Lagos

gidgiddy:
How laughable. I said in my post that Yorubas have never fought a war in modern day Nigeria. In 1861, the name 'Nigeria' did not even exist. But if the argument is that the Yorubas fought the British then go and Google the Arochukwu war or the Ekumeku war and see how Igbos also fought the British before falling to superior firepower
