What does Lagos need that it cannot get within itself or within the Southwest? Tell me just one thing..

Lagos can survive alone or at most with the rest of the 5 South western states and that's facts.

in as much I hate northerners with passion,oga if Nigeria use system of America as in what you have in your state is yours you won't be boasting,niger delta feeds the whole nigeria believe it or don't,do you know when nigeria relocated capital to Abuja from lagos If there was sea in Abuja you won't be saying this,because northerners will divert all the ships to Abuja,80% of our foreign exchange is from oil gas,

God please save us from these nuisance called " The North"

What truth? Lagos was left for dead before Tinubu took over in 1999. I am a Lagosian.

The FG abandonded Lagos and left the State to her fate in the rush to move everything to the North, via Abuja, same way Nigeria myopically abandoned cocoa etal once oil was discovered.

It was the administrative brilliance of Tinubu that rescued Lagos and made her what she is today.

That is why Western administrators, the true arbiters of African leadedship, always visit and spend time with Tinubu while shunning other leaders in Nigeria.

They respect him massively for what he has achieved even if we enjoy lying to ourselves in Nigeria and fail to give credit where due because of ethno-religious bias against others.

Even before they arrive Lagos they have already read one of the many case studies in their home nation about the exemplary transformation of Lagos under BAT.

You people should fear God when you tell these lies about Lagos thriving because she is a former capital.

Same Lagos that was filth and crime-ridden before BAT took over? Same Lagos that had no sanity and was a glorified jungle pre-1999?

The worst lies are those we tell ourselves.

What did BAT do,was he the one who built third mainland bridge??


You must be crazy, I love in Lagos too bro, Tinubu didn't do anything, development started from Fashola

Indeed but losers and ethnocentric mischief-makers still have to be put in their place and made to confront the fact they are losers lol.

Aside the VAT argument, Lagos deserves far more socio-economic autonomy for hosting 10% of the population of Nigeria when she is the smallest State in our nation.

Northerners are just a patently unfair and unreasonable people.

When Buhari leaves office all this claim by làgos will banished because Katsina alone has the most advantageous land Border accross the North.

It can also generate its revenue unlike now that the president blocked all land borders and allow it only for Lagos, for selfish reasonsor political reasons.

Your argument even as half-witted as it sounds defeats the logic behind the argument.

So can the native americans now claim America from the Europeans that once were settlers as you claim?

Can the Blacks now claim they own Egypt without the Arabs throwing them out?

So what makes you think the original "Edo owners" can chase the "Yoruba from Ogbomoso" away from Lagos today?

Having said that, idumota is not the only place in Lagos

What about Abule Egba, Ikoyi, Epe, ikorodu, Ajegule etc..

What is the Edo names of those places?

you should have the intelligence to know when you're commenting with a paid bigot and divide and rule propagandists on NL...

Mumu Aboki tell your bandits to be paying vat on all the kidnap victims and ransom collected stupid man.

First of all lagos is no man's land
By tradition and historical facts it belongs to the Benin ogiso dynasty ,not yorubas


Secondly, lagos is made up of all Nigerians including all that is inside


Thirdly all this noise about state collecting Vat is a ploy to a southern sinister...well let me tell you the status quo remain


Incase you don't know ...North2023

Lagos is for the Yoruba people, shut up, I am igbo and I know that for sure

I don't blame the agbaya. They emboldened by the fact that the south can't be united with people like Dave Umahi of Ebonyi State talking trash and FFK being such a notorious stomach infrastructure merchant.

The Northerners are now the new chest beater.. The new developers... Developers that cannot replicate the development in their own lands.

Bastard terrorist!

Enugupikin:
There is some sense in what he is saying ,Lagos can't stand alone without the rest of Nigeria. Those corporate headquarters too and the ports and all that stems from the Nigerian people

No single sense in what he said. Why can't those people he said populated Lagos stay in their states and populated there also?

The answer is because Lagos is where they are making their money , then let them pay tax in the State they are making the money not the states of their that has no benefit for them

you're wrong to some extent because it cannot survive as you claimed...do you know that ports in some States are dormant due to politics just to favour the southwest?. what do you think if ports in other States are made functional?, it will decongest the Lagos port and thereby projects the economy of other States but politics won't allow such...

it was tinubu restructuring of Lagos that made fashola a huge success. Tinubu's revenue drive e.g. wharf landing fees and other major sources of revenue made fashola had so much funds to play with

Foolish man with foolish talk and you leave north to develop Lagos and river.

Even if Lagos belongs to cameroonians and filled with Germans..

The argument is not about Lagos ethnic nationalities but about the economic prospects of Lagos..

I believe Lagos should be allowed to keep atleast 50% of what it makes to further develop the State.

Keep at least. 80%

Lagos and Rivers will continue to thrive because they are on the coast, we need to ask questions about delta, Bayelsa, and other coastal states what have they been doing. No one is preventing other coastal states from thriving, let's stop the lies, who has stopped Akwa-Ibom so far? none

See nonsense this terrorist is saying

He is saying the truth, Lagos and Rivers have ports, but the people that pays the necesarry tax like custom duty, import duty, export, environmental,etc are mostly Igbos and Hausas from the hinterlands who are mostly into importation, exportation, manufacturing and trade that are mostly from Kano, Anambra, Borno, Abia, Kaduna, Imo, etc

This is just a wake up call to the north, it's tym to rise and shine,look inwards my people, you guys have what it takes to to stand on your own, rather than feeding fat on the federal government largesse... that's why you have refused to harness your potential, with this development, you have no choice

Then let them go back to their states to pay those taxes so they can increase their VAT collections, we need to stop these lies of who exactly is the wealthiest in Nigeria. You will be shocked to know that what you are saying is not true

Oga, you forgot that 99% of what they consume in America are produce in America, 60% VAT are from import, Lagos think their fast, they want to harvest without plant.

Yes, it's actually a Six local government empire these days.

And how does Benin mushroom empire supports your argument for Fg to continue collecting VAT?

It is no longer an empire but in her heydays she contained Eastern yorubaland, Anioma communities, Lagos, Itsekiri, Urhobo communities, Esan,Afemai and it is in the books, Bradbury and others wrote about it. Empire rise and fall, it was the end of an era in 1897.

It is not 6 local government,it is seven by the way " local government dae pass local government" only Oredo will take off four local government in Ekiti state. Edo south as a senatorial district, did more figures In voters registration above Ekiti and Bayelsa state. That should tell you something. Why more local government was not created for the Binis is politics between the Esama of Bini, Aikhomu and the late Oba Eredieuwa. If not the Binis should have twelve local government now. It was because the Oba was afraid more kingdoms might sprout out of Edo south as a result of more local government, and insisted strongly that Aikhomu should let Edo south be, this was coming at a time when the Esama of Bini was strongly eyeing his stool

BigSarah:
Well there you go, you can't make the earnings of cosmopolitan states exclusive that's just common sense

Lagos
Rivers
Kano
Ogun
Kaduna
Delta

Are significantly cosmopolitan, but then again the sharing formula should be fairer and reasonable than it currently is..

State should collect VAT & pay 10% to FGN. This will stop rent seeking mentality.

When Buhari leaves office all this claim by làgos will banished because Katsina alone has the most advantageous land Border accross the North.

It can also generate its revenue unlike now that the president blocked all land borders and allow it only for Lagos, for selfish reasonsor political reasons.

Lol. Katsina did not exist before Buhari ordered border closure? Let's stop these infantile excuses na.

To what end? To deny Lagos and Tinubu credit when other States and leaders should actually be learning from both?

so he knows the important of population and investment then they allow boko boys to chase investors out of the north

Mad man talking
