How will a sane person compare abia with the likes of oyo state and ogun state.. Ogun state only has up to 50 tertiary institutions not to talk of companies which you can only compare to only likes of Lagos and oyo. Lagos, oyo and ogun only contribute up to 70% of the Nigeria total internal revenue without producing oil yet.
I can assure you life is even more easier and peaceful in their remaining landlocked states which is Osun and ekiti


Anyone who has traveled around will boldly conclude that SW is by far the most developed followed by SS as far as Nigeria is concerned. Grow up and stop deceiving yourselves
You are yet to feed yourself, which contribution, how many Yorubas have industries in Ogun or Lagos, how many Yorubas import containers? Is Lagos airport only use by Yorubas I'm praying serious to everyone to go there different ways for us to see how far you guys will go with the massive debt hanging in all the states in West, ignorant mind Oil and gas money fund more 85% of Nigeria economy

Lagos is the smallest State in Nigeria, Lagos is 50% slums, the areas modern structures are in serious threat by flood, its below the sea level, othe states in Southwest are nothing to write home about you real need to travel from Asaba drive down to Anambra then you will know your region is empty, outside ports what's in Lagos, South-East and South-South blessed with natural resources that has been feeding this nation for years including Lagos

Thank God you posted those pictures for Yorubas forming woke to see..

I have been to the South East and I've seen how vegetations there are green whereas Lagos,.Ogun and othe SW states are already overcrowded with air and water pollution everywhere.. Of course you'll call Lagos a slum after enjoying the resources and amenities in the state.

Tinubu should grant Lagos the Special Status we have been asking for so that Nigeria too can give back to Lagos, not just taking all the time.

If I had my way, I'd drive everyone out of Lagos and replan the state, cleanup all the drainage paths and ensure the sea level threats is eliminated.

Lagos will not sink anytime soon, so don't worry too much.

You do not have a point, SW has lots of resources too ranging from crude oil, gold, iron ores etc .. They are not just mining it yet and with this they still generate more money than those states taking 13%.

SW is the best for now to anyone who thinks straight forward.

You have not been to East, if you have you will not be writing rubbish here, Can you compare Ogun to Anambra, can you compare Oyo to Enugu? Can you compare Ondo to Imo? Can you compare Abia to Osun? Can you compare Ebonyi to Ekiti, South-East state in far better than the ones in Yoruba land you guys are just using propaganda to deceive yourselves, any Liberal mind that is not from both regions will tell you that states in South-east are far developed than the ones in West

Yet again you argue blindly my friend..

Ceteris paribus, South East ought to be in the leagues of Dubai and co considering the fact that one SW state (Oyo State) is bigger than all 5 States in SE combined. That is a fact.

Niger State that houses Nupes is x2 the size of entire SE.. Infact I have been having this notion that Nupes are far more than Igbos in Nigeria cos they are predominantly in Niger and parts of Kwara. Do the maths and see their population.

I always feel sorry for SEners because you folks don't know how much y'all are taking from Nigeria despite contributing nothing to national purse.. What is your Igr in SE and what is that of Lagos, Ogun, Osun and co?.

Economic prosperity is not measured by fine buildings and whatnot.. it's the revenue you generate and jobs created for the people that will make your economy to be considered as working.

Oyo being bigger has nothing to do with development, more than 87% of the land are inhabitable, where that is developed are largely covered by brown roof and mud houses

How a clarifying question turned into a pissing contest.

All of these people making this noise, how much tax did you pay to the government last year? Let's start from there.

It is not by Lagos this, Anambra that, Rivers the other; what legitimate right do you have to be angry that the government is ripping you off?

When I see you all taking this pissing contest; eager to clear your own people instead of expressing your personal disappointment with how the country is run, it's really disheartening.

You have a country denying your next generation the best they could have despite your efforts of today and you're here spraying each other with urine.

As a resident of Lagos, the state is poorly run. As an indigene of Imo, the state is poorly run. As a long-term guest of Delta, the state is poorly run. For all they give to Nigeria, For all you give to your state, you're madly short-changed. Yet you have strength for pissing contests.

Get well soon; that's all I can say to you.

@OP, Anything short of true federalism and resource control will always make key development decisions like this always take the backstage. I'm desperate for a sharp upturn in Nigeria's fortunes, which is why I believe only a new idea can bring about the radical change Nigeria requires and Nigerians deserve.

The lazy ones are using seaports in Lagos as excuse for the under-development in their region... there is Onne port, ports dey Calabar. why not use those ports to their advantage?

See what Tinapa has turned to in Cross River.. such can never happen to a multi-billion naira investment in SW.. had it been Tinapa was a project in Lagos for example, same people would have blamed their backwardness on the monument as reason tourists are not visiting other parts of Nigeria.

The problem with South South and South East I have observed over the years is insincerity and self-deceit. They prefer to blame Yorubas than look inward and ask themselves pertinent questions on the way ahead for their states and regions.
Nah SE dey disguise as SS..

The industries in ogun are owned majorly by chinese, indians and Lebanese. The only reason they are in ogun is to take advantage of the population of lagos. If half of the residents in lagos leaves as Yorubas are advocating for. Those industries will hear it

The project, an investment in excess of $1.5 billion, is a joint venture between the federal government, through the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), Lagos State Government, Tolarams Group (owners of the Lagos Free Zone), and China Harbour Engineering Company

Same Akwa Ibom with up to 70 percent unemployment rate?.. talk something else abeg.
Maybe you should listen to Reuben Abati analysis of the state with the recent 'happy hour' governor-elect.

Rivers.. is fairing well but Ogun state will give Rivers a run for her money. Asides Port Harcourt, you'd hardly see fantastic structures on ground but H.E Wike is trying no doubt.

It's development we want.. South Easterners too should go and fix Anambra, Enugu, Imo and likes and stop claimung Lagos and Abuja as no man's land.
I put it to you that Akwa Ibom dwarfs all your South Western States in terms of infrastructural development without any support from the federal government unlike your South Western states.
Also, Akwa Ibom oil and gas money is feeding your parasitic states in Nigeria, the money could have been deployed to build critical infrastructure that will open up Akwa ibom for investment and in turn provide employment for Akwa Ibom natives and don't forget that Akwa Ibom is such an endowed state that can survive as a country, but a black man is so daft and cannot think outside the box and hence, we are complacent with this exploitative and skewed structure that takes resources from oil producing states to develop other lazy states to their own detriment.


Is it the same Ogun state that is nothing to write home about inspite of her proximity to Lagos that you want to compare with Rivers states.
Abeakuta is like a war-torn village with brown roofs everywhere. The infrastructure on ground does not match your claim so let me laugh over this and pass.

Infact Nigeria cannot survive without money from the South South.
