FatherOfJesus:
you don't know anything, you arguing blindly.

Obasanjo did not cease Lagos State allocation. obasanjo ceased Lagos State "local government" allocations because Tinubu was running proxy LCDAs

Na we know werin dey happen for Lagos

FatherOfJesus:
Anybody who thinks Lagos is doing well is not being sincere. On what basis are you making that inference?

The fact that Lagos was capital city for more than 50years and has never surpassed the infrastructural feat it achieved since 1991 until date?

Or the fact that Lagos still doesn't have a standard waste management system, public water and transportational infrastructure?

Look, Lagos is not growing, I cannot see any substantial developmental progress since 1991, TBH. Only Fashola tried to make some progress happen.

People ask then why is everyone trooping to Lagos?
Why is Lagos the commercial capital?
The answer is simple, Nigeria's economy is hugely dependent on importation, which means that every business wants access to the sea. The fact that apapa and tincan seaports are the only functioning seaports in Nigeria means that Businessws will always choose Lagos to cut of cost of logistics.
Logistics is crazy in Nigeria, in my company, it's cost us more to transport our products from Apapa port to our warehouse in Ibeju-Lekki than transporting them from Taiwan to Apapa port. It's crazy, every business owner knows this. Imagine if our warehouse is in onitsha.
Open up other seaports in Warri, Calabar, onne and port Harcourt, you will see Lagos economy shrink, businesses will spread out other parts of the country.

All these is making it seem like Lagos is working but it's not. The amount Lagos government generate doesn't commensurate with the kind of infrastructure on ground. They are basking on the effect of business influx to create a charade that Lagos is working. A small city in South Africa that doesn't have as much money as lagos will beat Lagos infrastructural wise on every level.

Tinubu supporters should spare us the noise abeg.

Golan007:
It is easily a connurbation and lots of people live in one and end and work at the other.

FatherOfJesus:
And after how many years since construction started, they still have not passed Iyana Iba. Lagos State government after Fashola na joke. Seriously
Right niw, federal government has even taken over the project under the trans-west African road peoject.

FatherOfJesus:
no, the comparison is senseless.

It's like asking me how many roads connects Enugu to anambra state instead of asking me how many roads connects Abakpa in enugu to indepence layout.

FatherOfJesus:
no where in Nigeria is developed, including including Lagos.

Have you tried travelling out of this country?

Golan007:
Don't you alao realise you are asking for something stupid?

There is a shore line and a Lagoon.

Where do you want another road to be constructed?

Nazgul:
I was at Oshodi last week, then drove to luth via mushin/idi-araba during the heavy down pour, I almost wept coming out with a car when I could have just booked an Uber.

Mushin/idi-araba roads and most interconnecting roads across Lagos are hellish.

What you said is true, aside fashola's BRT innovation, there's nothing special about Lagos.

In the 90s there use to be running water from Lagos State water cooperation supplying water to all the household in the state, today if you don't have borehole where you live, be prepared to be buying water from mallams.

Are we forgetting traffic robberies, insecurity, high crime rate, thuggery... etc.

If not for the Port that opened the door to foreign companies, lagos would have be a Shadow of itself by now. Cos the tax it receives doesn't correspond with the development and security on ground.

FatherOfJesus:
There an ill-functioning waterway transportation.
It's also senseless to compare places with proper city waterboard to Ajah

Golan007:

Golan007:
Demand and supply.

If people aren't demanding for ferries there shalt be none.

FatherOfJesus:
Can Ajah people even boast of potable water?
Senseless comparison

Ttalk:
All these can be traced to the influx of people from useless governors that have refused to develop their state, while their indigene residing in Lagos constituting nuisance with no value are making governance difficult for responsible citizens.

Nazgul:
The population of New York is almost 5 times that of lagos, yet you can't compare both in terms of development.

Manhattan alone houses more foreign diplomats and Nationals from various parts of the world than Lagos, yet their roads and infrastructure and world class.

Lagos problem has nothing to do with non indigenes, it's a case of excessive waste of the state's resources by the ruling cabal which I believe you know.

Golan007:
Let's talk about you Anambra.

Is there potable water?

FatherOfJesus:
where did I do that?
Is Lagos developed?
By what standard are you measuring development?

FatherOfJesus:
that's the point, no state is developed.
Make una stop all these una overhyping

Factcheck0001:
so are u telling me increased igr is not a sign of progress?
Peter obi could not add just 1 naira to anambra igr for complete 8 years n below is what tinubu did during his regime

Golan007:
But your Anambra is among the worst.

FatherOfJesus:
you can give create another thread and discuss this one

2elliot:
Those urchins praising tinubu will never agree.

Gozac:
Those urchins are the worst group of tribal bigots who wants Tinubu to be president so that Yoruba region can be enriched and favoured by a Tinubu just as Buhari is doing in Daura

FatherOfJesus:
no, the comparison is senseless.

It's like asking me how many roads connects Enugu to anambra state instead of asking me how many roads connects Abakpa in enugu to indepence layout.
