You are not ibo buh would rather defend the obvious about them...who is fooling who... they sell Gala in traffic cos they can never be as grounded as natives who had access to employment opportunities ( 9ja is based on who know who)...the same reason Arab and pakis immigrants lives in Paris and London surburb.... Beggars can't be choosers, NEVER..!


You talk about commerce and you are enlighten that your people are petty trader who only involved in micro-section of small scale businesses of selling CDs, Clothwares not Provisions, Foodstuffs and Perishables... yet are chest-beating they are dominating?...


It obvious you are an Okoro that is why you are pain sotey you wan "put am for my body'... you are only fooling yourself cos your pain is an evident of an Okoro Inferiority complex.


Yeye be like low self-esteem boy denying his heritage.. you must be ashamed of your kinmens.

PoloG:
ask that animal why their commerce nor fit build their dungeon region

MSGAMBLE9:
I asked him why "Onitsha international market' couldn't generate more than a meagre #8.7 revenue for their developed' Anambra ( a third of Osun's)...

First he claimed SW state tax even Air then claimed he is not Ibo. They are always quick to deny their root.


Yeye dey smell. Okoro will never cease to amaze us.

PoloG:
don't mind those delusional fools

Nigeria should divide so that we will send this animals away from the SW

PoloG:
lagos doesn't rely on igbos dirty 2x2 markets to grow its economy ...

If markets grow an economy, anambra would have been the richest state in Africa.

You can sit on the internet and boast , can you hustle individual hustle from scratch....

I went to anambra state to visit a friend , i respect the hard work they put there i even met serious yorubas and hausas and other tribes hustling there because they dont want to be where success is

Many of you attacking me are just fortunate yorubas whom have benefited somehow from Nigeria and have never hustle from scratch to build a personal business

Let see how it goes someday when the port in other states get super active and see how the owners of Lagos (even if we know some are not real indegines ) will survive ....am talking of the average ones not the elites

Revolva:


You are not hearing word is it bad to stand by the truth ? I said am not an igbo person but the annoying thing is you keep insisting am igbo this is what tribalism have done to your medula oblogata.

Can you hustle ? Self i dont think you have been to this Lagos you are defending lol

You dont even know the commercial part of lagos who generates most of the money ...who drives the economy , you think its those sitting at that dead tall building in marina or some white collar jobs punks in Central.bank who cant save the economy

Look at china today , they produce and can boast of their future , am using the same ideology here that igbos and other nigerians can achieve these if not for some corrupt people holding us back

MSGAMBLE9:
You are not an Okoro? okay.

Commercial part of Lagos? are you saying petty trading of CDs, Electronics and Clothwares is responsible for close to #800 B in revenue? buh why is Anambra ( home of Onitsha market) is generating a meagre #8.7 B annually (a third of Osun's)....


Commot there jaree, Okoro man.

Revolva:


One thing you should know Lagos have so many avenue of revenue aside from commercial trading which the igbos dominates ...no where can be compares to Lagos a city that was a former capital with a population of 18milliom above

Oga rest ...that cds electronic store in alaba intl , idumota , oduade alaba , mandilas , Ladipo , and every places where igbo trades bring them wealth and rest of mind , today chief bode george who is a lagosian a real one complained bitterly on radio while on jimi disu program , he narrated what is left for the comon yoruba youth today in lagos first ...dont ask me ....increased poverty ...a race that rich but its todays youth have been sidelined by elites , make una de dull de go ...de do party where de gbaladun ...time and body go tell yna one day

mu2sa2:
Food for thought. Even formidable empires, city states and kingdoms have collapsed in the past as a result of wars and insecurity. Look at Ukraine, a thriving, prosperous country being systematically reduced to rubble. Russia itself will eventually face catastrophic economic decline, no thanks to biting sanctions by the West. That's why ipob/esn/ugm must not be allowed to overrun the SE. The violence those criminals are perpetrating would eventually create the Warri scenario in cities and communities across the SE if allowed to continue. Those who criticise Buhari because of the capture of Nnamdi Kanu, who is the mastermind of the violence consuming the SE, forget that Kanu is a British citizen and as we have seen had and, even now, has japa plans to flee alaigbo to the safety of Britain where his wife, children and girlfriends live.

tuoyoojo:
Warri has gone the way of sapele. The last time I was there, hmmm....it was an eyesore. A shell of its former self

The most annoying thing is the "deve" and the agitation of the youths

People who do not want to work hard but want to live large because a company is in your locality

[b]They were quick to say to those companies if you are not paying deve, leave!!.[/b]Now they have left. Who is suffering the brunt

Like what someone said, one man's loss it another's gain.

It would take a miracle for warri to get back to its former glory

Unfortunately successive delta government has not been pulling their weight in development in warri.

use it and stop coming to Lagos..

igbos should use their so called hardwork and business to build their unpleasant region, instead of always running to the SW for greener pastures

correctguy101:


2018, I was arrested by touts and asked to pay 50k. I only briefly stopped close to ShopRite to drop my GF. After much hassle and calling my cousin who has some influence,, we settled with simply giving boys drink money.

When I came drove back home I specifically told my cousin: Bro Warri don carry last.

And I always remind dem each time they claim Warri no dey carry last

It's so sad that even today, all these ills you mentioned and more are still rampant.

Imagine someone telling me to gerrout with my Lagos sense just because I tried contributing in a community meeting Me wey my Mama and Papa na full Delta people o.

A friend of mine was charged 200k from different groups when he tried putting something on his father's land at Ughelli and no be small fight o...smh

The experiences are much. I don even leave my house for students for Delta.

Anytime I travel to Delta and see all these, e dey really pain me how egwa money and deve can separate and cause people to kill each other.

darfay:



So the madness also extends to natives and other towns outside of warri Metro. It's really shameful what urhobo people have turned themselves to, so much thuggery and touts and will still loose in perennial ethnic violence with it's riverine neighbors
I sincerely hope they wake up and put an end to such lazy and entitled mentality so real progress can actually begin

MSGAMBLE9:

2. LASG's expenditure and debt is substantial and growing, but lacks effectiveness

Effective governance is measured not by how much in taxes and fees have been levied and collected from the people, or by how much Government spends, but by how much the people's education, healthcare, transportation, housing, security, employment and other components of standard of living have improved, as a result of the expenditures and actions of their Government over time.
This is where, in my view, Lagos falls short. Over the past 24 years, LASG has massively deployed current and future societal wealth and increased its borrowing without substantial overall advancement in human development indices and living standards of the people.

Lagos has consistently remained near the bottom of the scale on independently compiled "quality of life" rankings of major cities of the world. For example, Lagos is in 171 position out of 172 cities ranked in the 2022 Global Liveability Index rankings of the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) which assesses cities on measures like infrastructure, education, health, culture and environment, stability etc.

Imperatives

Governments are defined by their commitment to institutions, rules and values as expressed through their actions. Inclusive governments foster growth and broad-based development while extractive governments produce deepening inequality and under-development and impoverish broad sections of society. Not surprisingly, extractive Governments also tend to borrow more. In my opinion, the Government of Lagos State must transition from its existing, extractive model of governance. This means dealing decisively with its self-serving hegemony which some call "godfatherism", the activities of corrupt elements in public office and the civil service, pervasive conflicts of interest and dominant vested interests, all of which have created a wide gulf, over the last quarter-century, between Government's use of the people's resources and what the people of Lagos really need. If we fail to do this, it is certain that our resources will continue to be misdirected, diverted and misused, our future will be mortgaged through ever-expanding Government borrowing, our development over the next generation will remain tragically stunted and poverty will be widespread.

Yours faithfully
