Please kindly share link because the latest release according to World Economic forum confirmed Lagos ,Nigeria as Number 1.
https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2022/01/lagos-africa-startup-capital/#:~:text=Lagos%20leads%20startups%20in%20Africa.&text=Lagos%2C%20the%20Nigerian%20capital%20managed,comes%20to%20attractiveness%20for%20startups.

Ghana is not even in the first 5 in Africa. Also, Ghana redenomimated its cedis in 2007 by knocking off 4 zeros and the new cedi has lost almost 10 times in value.

Last year, Ghana ran out of fx that it took Imf saving them yet this was same Ghana that had its debt written off by imf few years ago.

Ghana has new oil discovery unfortuately it still did not help Ghana's fdi. I honestly worry for Ghana because they are my brothers and sisters too. Comparing Nigeria to Ghana is unfair to Ghana when the worth of the top 10 billionaires in Nigeria is worth more than the GDP of Ghana.

That is why I am telling you not to play to the gallery if you have Governors like Prof Ayade and Prof. Soludo. Go to the real substance of governance, check them.out under HDI parameters and keep eyes on him dispassionately.
As we type here, there are some parameters under the HDI that you will be shocked to know that Lagos towers over Isreal and about 75% of the countries in Europe and most countries in Asia.
If you are from Anambra,monitor Prof Soludo well . Do not make the mistakes Cross Rivers people made with Ayade.

I am out of this debate. I wish HE Soludo and Anambra all the best of luck

Abeg, he should reduce the vision to the possible 8 years he would be using as governor.

All those long years vision in Africa generally na scam.

Nice one,
Charles is following the footsteps of our darling Daddy President Muhammadu Buhari.
A man he respects, appreciate and love all his life.
You will never ever hear Charles says anything negative about his President.
He adores him to the moon and back, unlike some cannibalistic children of hate, frustrations and perdition.

God bless Anambra State.
God bless Charles Soludo.
God bless our darling Daddy President Muhammadu Buhari.
God bless all good Honest and hardworking Anambrans and Nigerians as a whole.

God bless Nigeria.

SmartPolician:
I feel unease about how young people think in Nigeria because the political class has destroyed our psyches.

In same countries, they have 50-year plan. They work towards achieving that plan. That's why the US, for instance, will always be ahead of the rest of the world.

Yes, they make long-term plans and invest into research that will make those visions a reality.

obynzo:
One thing i always believe in is being realistic. The guys like you that love to hype Lagos as number one capital do this out of ignorance, If not for the Fintech revolution of the likes of Flutterwave and Co Lagos FDI would have drastically dwindled. There are a lot of factors that is making investment in Lagos dwindle. First apart from the falling crude oil revenue which has limited Nigeria's risk rating, there is the issue of ease of doing business which is a general problem, but it is so bad in Lagos, the multiple taxations alone is enough to kill business and the high cost of real estate which to me is very hard to explain how a state that has a very low per capita income compared to the biggest cities in Africa has one of the highest real estate cost in the world(some places in VI and Ikoyi charge rent in USD). Manufacturing is all but dead in Lagos and don't get me started with these guys that just built a factory, because in the next few years if our purchasing power is still at this level the company will reconsider, just as P&G did few years back with their factory in Agbara.
The only annoyance is that Ogun state has failed to be smart and proactive if not they would have been the biggest beneficiaries and people will see the reality of how bad policies are killing business in Lagos. If any state in close proximity with Lagos gets it right business wise you will see massive exodus of business and people from Lagos.

BigBashiru:
I agree with you that Lagos is overrated. Number one it's overcrowded number two the income does not match up with expenses which is a sign of a failing/failed state

todaynewsreview:
Good one. Even the FG needs a good template to work on. Though all still depends on successive governments. Thankfully, Soludo is next in line.

This one has started with hatred, marginalisation bla bla. That is what you're always saying anytime you perceive superior logic. Did your own mother not show you love?

Soludo is drawing 70 year plans. Did Obiano and Obi work without plans? Or why is he not ready to continue from where they stopped?
Obiano signed several MOUs, let Soludo implement the terms. Everything is not to be crying like a baby. Man up and argue like someone with brain.

BluntCrazeMan:
Soludo still has a lot of work to do.
As of now, these plans are still in form of papers.
..
The real situations are there on ground.
It's time to face them squarely.

BluntCrazeMan:
Peter Obi had short-term plans.
Obiano had no plan at all.
He signed MOUs that he was not ready to implement and he didn't keep to the terms of those MOUs.
So, what is there to Soludo to implement?
Would he rush to implement MOUs without doing full feasibility studies of such MOUs?

penceman:
I kind of feel that if igbo is to develop a state, enugu state is better place. Anambra is choked up. Except if housing is involved.

Ghana's economy better than Nigeria? Smh.

As a stakeholder in my country Nigeria, I have given my sincere suggestions on how Anambrarians can get anything substantial out of Prof. Soludo. If you like sleep and allow him bambuzzle you with his outlandish experiments like Prof. Ayade did to Cross Rivers folks, it will get to you first before me.

Textbook economics did not get my Lagos state to become the 5th largest economy in Africa

Whoever wants you to do well will share suggestions with you and it is not compulsory you take it.

CoolAmbience:
All these are waste of precious time and resources.

While it is good to have a governance, if you like, a developmental guide for a state, the big issue is, is there any law that criminalizes deviation from such development plan.

What will happen if a governor emerges and decides to execute his own programs outside of the state's development roadmap? That is the issue. It is not all about having a development plan.

What sort of development plan disenfranchises its people by not conducting LG elections and allowing the people choose their leaders, at the lowest level of government?

Shey, you can see that the document is nonsense? Does the document address the lack of transparency in IGR collection and utilization?

These are nothing but facades. I prefer a yearly, thorough prepared, high human impact, and strictly implemented budget to all the compilation of intangible hogwash being paraded all over the media.

Cjrane2:
One hopes that Soludo does not end up a theorist that gets everything right on paper, but can't deliver much in real life.

One thing about Obiano is that he is a hands-on type of leader. he focuses on a few things and makes sure he delivers on them.

Ofodirinwa:
Imagine getting your car keys to go to work and someone online goes

'Working is not about getting your keys, the real work are there on office, its time to face them squarely'

What will be your opinion of this comment?

collagiatepaper:
You are a complete mad man. So Obiano had no plan but he delivered an international airport in 18 months, something that hasn't happened in the history Africa. He has no plan but he delivered on worldclass international airport, built stadium, roads, bridges, flyovers, etc. How was it Obiano's fault that investors that came to partner government failed to fulfill their part of deal? Aside that many more MOUs came through, like Awka Millennium city, and many others.

BluntCrazeMan:
Even at his swearing in for second tenure,, the Airport was not even in his plan at that point of swearing in.
He just woke up from his dreams one day and dabbled into the airport project,, and he crippled the whole economy of Anambra State for 22 full months (almost two years) just to make sure he delivered the airport.
If not, it would be a wasted dream.
Dreams and plans are two different things.
His scores would be out in the public soon.
Let the sycophants leave the space first.
