Na talk like this they make me want to slap somebody, Lagos became this beautiful because of a man of vision BAT.
No be this Lagos we dey in the 90s, even foreign media make jests of Nigeria using Lagos as an example.
Now that people with vision had taken over to change Lagos to what it is today, haters no gree us hear word, business people will generally gravitate towards what and where will help their business.
No one is forced to come to Lagos, na dem prefair Lagos and that includes your vision less leaders who will rather invest all their stolen money in Lagos than their States.

Lagos is more beautiful in 90s than now,lagos government is just planting flowers and decorating an already built state by colonial masters and FG.
Lagos is overhype,lagos Island which include Vi,lekki,Ikoyi is the only beautiful place in lagos,it was developed by the colonial masters,the rest is just a dead zone,is it Ojo,Orile,Iddo,Ajegunle,Ikorodu,Ipaja,mushin,Egbeda,Ikotun,Ijesha,onipanu etc that is developed

jstbeinhonest:
Do you really think that the Northern-dominatated Nigeran government are only interested in developing Lagos and the other Southwest states alone?

Akwa-Ibom state receives the Largest federal allocation,and Uyo during '11-'15, was arguably the fastest developing city in the country, right now its rate of development is 'not so fast'.
Enugu might not receive lots of cash from the FG but Chime did wonders.

Ambode might be corrupt, but he is doing very well, especially on the mainland. Good governance from the state level is the most important factor in infrastructural development.

The north is comfortable of Lagos been the economic capital of Nigeria and like to maintain the statue quo because they are just interested in stealing the oil money,lagos state government is trying but the government there inherited an already built state with 100% federal presence and support,since 1999 lagos state government built only two bridges, the rest is built by FG and colonial masters,they are just beautifying lagos,lagos state government is not the one that built lagos.

Oxtonguy:
FG is the failure, so don't attribute Lagos achievement with FG, talking about the port. Lagos port has been booming right from aeons of years majorly for slave trade even before the British arrival not to talk about the existence of Nigeria, Lagos port is far older than Nigeria itself. It very easy to upgrade and then a popular port which will make trades even faster this was why Lagos port was given attention, as for the other port like port harcourt seaport and the others. FG built those port from trash, and even so the government there seems not to be lucrative enough to make utility of port for trade and bring in investors. Just watch even the Lekki seaport under construction by Lagos government will be more functional than those existing port in Nigeria coast outside Lagos. If not for Lagos government the so called Lagos port will be as ph of Warri port. And about those international airport, only Ikeja the city developed solely by Lagos government has the infrastructure to hold such airport. Even the Abuja airport environs is not fit to hold expatriates yet as that region is still undergoing lots of construction work. If wike widened those roads leading to port harcourt airport, clear the shanties around ikwerre. And garranty some measure of security. Then the federal government can come into play, This are what Lagos government is doing. And how has FG make Lagos the economic capital of Nigeria Is it by situating CBN in Abuja, locating World Trade Center in Abuja, making sure every new bank firms situates it's HQ in Abuja. Lagos is economic capital of Nigeria because of the collective efforts of Lagos government.

That is the problem of your people in Nigeria,is only lagos that have the capacity and infrastructure to hold a standard international airport.
As I said before,Nigeria is not a true country and dont want other parts to develop, that is why South Africa and other African countries is developing ahead of Nigeria because Nigerian is a country deeply rooted in tribalism,nepotism and self deceit.

Taa! Nigerians are not ipob miscreants who are easily brainwashed by fantasy claims....We are not going back to Egypt..

After Buhari in 2023, Power moves back to South West, then back to the North..

[/b]you are just interested in where power will move to[b],nawa ooo for some Nigerian youths
you guys in Nigeria are not ready for any development in Nigeria if most of your aim is to grab power in other to sideline other part of Nigeria and make sure that there is no federal presence in other regions,a nation that is divided among itself cannot stand.

TheStronghold:
The North dominates federal government decisions with 19 of the 36 states and the southeast is the richest in natural resources. What does the southwest have? Both the north and the south east have more reason to be better off today yet you say Lagos is the most well off because of a capital that was moved​ over 25+ yrs ago? What you're saying doesn't make any sense.

[/b]Nigeria is not ready for development because FG uses lagos as it only economic capital[b],almost all the good pass through lagos port,travelling out of Nigeria,one have to exit through lagos,visas you have to go to lagos.
sensible countries that want development will develop all parts of their country to ease movement and people suffering.
In good countries like South Africa, if you live in Cape town,you dont need to go to Durban to clear your goods or travel out of South Africa from almost a single point causing traffic congestion and multiple accidents.

Why will FG not standardize Enugu international airport,port harcourt international airport,kano international airport,calabar port or ph port or Ibaka sea part, onitsha inland port and benue inland ports.
[/b]Everything in Nigeria is based in lagos and some of you are beating your chest because Nigeria is not a true country[b].

In Germany you fly direct to Berlin,frankfurt,Dusseldorf,Bremen,Hamburg etc,in Nigeria you fly to only lagos and exit from there to travel to east and north.

Olu317:
Many of these children with no history lesson have come up again to relate Lagos development to the Nigeria factor. Lagos state name disagrees with such notion. The Brazilian Yoruba returnees change the face of Lagos From 1840s,1850s upward etc . Even before Nigeria ever think of existing, the families like JOAQUIM, VERA CRUZ, SOARES, TREZISES, PEREIRA, PINEIRHO, MARTINEZ, MARINHO, DA ROCHA etc made it happen for Yoruba land. No wonder that some people will be perpetually be playing the Second Fiddle To Yoruba.

May God RESET some people's brain whose mentality is programmed with HATRED.

Guy I think the HATRED is the other way round because if some are calling boldly for independence of their region, it mean they don't give a bleep about your Lagos rather it was your people that is shouting one Nigeria the more in all the social media.
If Lagos was not developed as a capital of Nigeria for many years as Abuja is been developed not it won't look like that.

TheStronghold:
Bros, this excuse is getting stale. The southeast is the richest in oil, yet they are still the most under developed. So stop with the stale excuse. Good leadership and governance leads to development. And there's no doubt that Lagos has had the best governors for the past 20+ years. Ogun state leads Nigeria with 75% of the country's foreign direct investment (abi you want to use capital excuse for this one too?). Yorubas dominate the film industry, the music industry, and the news media. These are just facts.

I am not attacking any other tribe in Nigeria, I am just proud of what my people are doing, as every tribe in Nigeria should be. If you are uncomfortable with that then too bad. But don't try to use excuses for our achievements because you feel uncomfortable with Yoruba success.

There nothing like Yoruba success here or been uncomfortable, [/b]Lagos was built by FG with Nigeria collective wealth and that is the fact.[b]
If other state in Nigeria is build by FG with Niger delta oil money,that state will surely look like Lagos or Abuja.
FG make Lagos it economic capital after moving Nigeria capital from Lagos.
-Lagos receive high allocation from Nigeria.
-Bank headquarters, oil companies, airline,sea port,Embassies and what makes a country is all located in Lagos by FG.
All this is the source of economic development in Lagos and cause of migration towards Lagos.

TheStronghold:
Lagos is on another level, it's pretty clear that Yoruba leads, and Nigerians follow! Whether it be in development, media ownership, music, film, and any other industry. We are excelling in everything we do, we need to start running more for presidency, that's the only way Nigeria will change. We have God's guidance!

Eko o no baje o!

Just keep chest beating,[/b] Lagos was developed for more than 30 years as a capital of Nigeria and was made economic capital of Nigeria by FG[b].
The white colonial masters and Nigeria government build Lagos,if any other state receive benefit like that they will also be like Lagos.Abuja is also beautiful because oil money is been used to build it.
[/b]In case if you don't know[b],Lagos is not part of western Nigeria in Nigerian constitution, should anything happen and Nigeria separate, the status of Lagos and Abuja will be determined.

Nigerians refuse to stand up for justice.
This is what they get.
Injustice in Nigeria is the cause of all this.

I expect some of the Yorubas to be happy and praise the police force for this as they do when it happen in other part of the country.

If not because Lagos was developed with Nigeria wealth as they are developing Abuja,the entire SW should have been a least developed region in Nigeria competing with
NE.

[/b]No picture of the butchered body and that of the culprit[b], some Afonja are Jubilating a concocted news to counter their ritual killing which they are known for

LecciGucci:
Ibo women!.
Happy my bae is ibo.

Low self esteem ,what happen to your baes

aribisala0:
Known by Eboe or known by whom? You can only say what YOU know, you cannot tell others what they know
Do Eboe travel more than Aboki? Where is your evidence? You like an idea you say it so it must be true?

But some of you yorubas in most of the social media call Igbos doing their lawful businesses outside SE refugees and migrant running away from their region, so now Yorubas is now claiming of of having Yoruba communities in the north outside the SW,so you guys have join Igbos to run away from your SW region to the north and Aboki travelers is also running away from none productive north.
You guys are two mouthed and multi faced.

[/b]I thought that Yorubas don't leave their SW to another man land to look for a daily bread.[b]
Because Sanusi mention southerners, they have started claiming part of it,how many Yoruba do they have in Kano.
Igbo are known for travelling and establishing their trade in distance land,Yorubas are not known for that.
[/b]What a heck is all this yoruba boys arguing here [b]

Afonjas should continue deceiving their self in Nigeria

[/b]Nonsense[b] ,which corruption are they fighting

IMO state have the most beautiful hotels in Nigeria, Owerri have become a place to hold conferences, companies end of year meetings etc, it will also attract prostitution.
But Lagos and PH remains the highest in terms of Brothels.

In Nigeria,it is only yorubas that is too afraid of Nigeria division.
The Northerners are hardworking people. The best 20 countries in the world don't have oil.
Igbos believe in their creativity to survive.
Switzerland which is landlocked country with no oil is one of the world richest country.In Africa Botswana is the best African country and they don't have oil and also a landlocked country. It is all about good management and hardworking.

lukui:
if they (IBO pple eventually) go to Biafra ( but I pray that they don't go) . NIGERIA GO CRY WEEEEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

because all these Yoruba guys don't know more than university degree, certificate, wear suit and speak big grammar. ask them about business. they are 0/10 . its only the Hausa's that are trying in agriculture. they provide almost all the food we eat and rams that we slaughter during festival period

#GODBLESSNIGERIA

That is why Yorubas sing one Nigeria slogan like kilode.

Billyonaire:
Then join me. The Crusade to fragment Nigeria to Independent Federating Units will soon come on-stream. I am looking at dedicating a few billions of personal finance to wage a war against the satanic humans who have hold 180 million free human beings to ransome. Or should rather buy myself an Island and forget playing a Messiah. I am thinking....

That is the way to go,if UK that colonise Nigeria don't have a unified country but have Scotland, Wales,England and Northern Ireland as participating autonomous region, China have Macau,Taiwan,Hong Kong and Tibet so that each region with similar cultural identity can develope with their own ideology.
With current structure in Nigeria nothing can work,UK,US know that and they are interested in stealing Nigeria resources and it is only black people can liberate theirself.

KAYD007:
i won't patronize until i see a made in Nigeria sticker on the product instead if made in Aba

But you Patronize China products that have this written on it.
Made in Shanghai,PRC
Made in Quandzou,China

ABOKI9ja:
Their hate to Buhari is uncountable but Buhari still recognizes their Businesses and he also patronizes it more than their hero GEJ but still they hate him

Which hate are you talking about,Buhari that call them 5% and hardly execute any project in that region

Billyonaire:
Next Sets Of Products Display, should be in Biafran Colours Please.

The 5% MUST be recognized as a people who were killed in a civil war, never rehabilitated YET, they against all odds are the center of local production and the Salvatore of the Nigeria.

But I like the term, Biafran Nigerians. I do not support secession, I support Fiscal Independence of the States of Nigeria.

For any development to come to Nigeria, Nigeria need to practice UK or Chinese type of government where you have semi- independent countries, Nigeria is just structured to favor the looting politicians from the North who sees presidency as their birthright to loot the nation or they will make the government ungovernable and return favor for those who worship them and allow them feed from the crumps.

intruxive:
Fake and highly substandard products. Mtchewww!!!. Can anything original come out of that axis

Children of hate ,e pain am

Aba is home of cottage industry in Nigeria

[/b]Nonsense waste of public fund[b],census that will be supervised by Buhari led northern cabals.
[/b]Kano state will have a population of 20m while Lagos will have 15m[b].Anambra will have a population of 3m while zamfara will have 8m.

[/b]People forcing theirself to live together with people they hate[b],what an inferiority complex

CBN should stop defending naira with huge injection of dollars into fx market, foreign investors will be scared to invest because the exchange rate can collapse any day.

Henryyy:
Thanks for the bolded because when we claim igbos are hateful, your people tend to deny it. What evil did yorubas start, igbos started the e-tribal war so I don't seem to understand the evil you're talking about and trust me if igbos get biafra today 99.9% of yorubas will be more than happy. My own is your agitation for biafra is between you and the government don't try to drag yorubas into something of no value to us. stop sounding like we are the ones preventing you from getting biafra cause biafra is not our concern.

[/b]Who is the government[b] ,is government not gathering of people.
[/b]Guy stop pretending[b],Yoruba hate Igbo,Igbo hate Yoruba,Hausa hate yorubas,Igbos and Yoruba hate Hausa.
Yoruba are the one crying all over the town for one Nigeria, in all social media they wish death to ipob.
Stop pretending and been hypocritical which is a normal character of Yoruba people.
Hidden under hausa-fulani government to perpetrate evil.
