It is not your job to make laws. There are already made laws guiding every Nigerian.

justosee:
Is there any State in Nigeria that don't need more money? where are you going to get more money for Lagos? Is the country not short of funds already?

9jaRealist:
Which is precisely why it deserves a special status...
How many other states can say the same (apart from the FCT)?

The basic law of sound investment is to invest where it has to greatest impact...
If you have 10% of the population in Lagos, it makes more sense to invest in Lagos infrastructure.

The problem that I sensing with you is that suffered by most Nigerians...
You seem to think that the special status is about SHARING money rather than infrastructural investment.

The reality is that better infrastructure, schools, hospitals, in Lagos....
Means 10% of the population has access to better infrastructure and social services, a CATALYST for development.

How many times are we going to burst una burble about the tax payers in Lagos..

How many companies are owned by non indigenes and what's their capital base?

Lagos is not having anything yet some people can't remain in their region..

Tell us what we are not understanding

bakynes:
Kano may have a huge Population like Lagos but its not generating enough money for the FG like Lagos.

With a total population of 14,862,000 as of 2021 within the city proper, the Lagos metropolitan area has a total population of 21.3 million, making it the second largest metropolitan area in Africa after Cairo.

Bouz:
Are you kidding me? asking, how many companies are owned by non-indigenes.

Of course, that's why SW is sophisticated... We do things accordingly and in a diplomatic way..

Stripping non indigenes some of the things they have been benefiting from freely laws shall be applied soon across the 6 SW states.

Put that in a record... Though na slipping

Elonmuskfan:
Then Kano needs special status as well cos its the commercial capital of northern Nigeria and is easily Nigeria’s most populated state.

Rivers as well cos it’s the commercial capital of oil revenue which Lagos state highly benefits from in terms of allocation.

Another blind hater of Tinubu. If you have no useful suggestions or help to offer a fellow Nairalander seeking responsible work then shut up rather than lash out insensitively to show the world you are a pathetic hater.

Nice one Sanwo-Olu

Lagos is the home of 20million Nigerians from accross the 774 Local Government of Nigeria, that's like 10% of Nigeria's Population

Lagos needs special status, special allocation .... It has the busiest Sea and Land borders serving the entire Nation, it hosts most the busiest international airport, host many embassies, it has too many Federal roads abandoned since Abuja became capital

All these burdens makes Lagos require Special Status

https://twitter.com/jidesanwoolu/status/1382424652006440961?s=19[/quote]What kind of greedy talk is sanwo olu bringing up. Lagos already has a robust economy. Many other states are struggling, yet they want more money at the expense of other states in the name of special status?

HenryWilliams:
By the bus load.. you'll think they're escaping from somewhere.. see them peeping from the windows.. marvel in their eyes.. looking around as if they're in heaven.. a few years later, lagos does it's usual magic... the bragging starts.. another ingrate is made

arsenal33:
are Nigerians flocking to your state, or are your state people also moving to Lagos?

clothingonline:
Federal government is generating trillions on Lagos as non oil revenue and not giving Lagos anything back give Lagos 13 percent back minimum like u doing in oil revenue state

idahme:
You also think other states Dont produce non oil revenue to the federation? for example Rivers has money generated by sea ports in the state , the debate is not who generates more but they don't get money as just like Lagos state. The fundamental stroke that would permanently nip in the bud for ever is to champion for individual control of resources and a percentage given to the federal government as tax , in so doing Lagos, Rivers and any other state that wants survival will be so prosperous and the rest that wants puberty will remain where they are. Check out the US for example, California, Texas, Florida, Illinois are rlso rich that each of them are richer than some five states combined together, take California as a case study it's economy is rated the fifth biggest in the world only lesser than USA, China, Japan, Germany. Grow at your own pace will be the biggest catalyst to Nigerian prosperity, this is the type of development we want not this vicious circle of everyone wanting peanut share of the cake instead of cutting the cake into two half and taking the lion share.

Resurrection212:
Without your oil revenue Lagos can survive on her own meanwhile during obasanjo tenure he stopped giving Lagos allocation the state never complained about it.
