Why can’t we have another Lagos like city in the Southwest too? Is it only Lagos that is capable of being used to brag in the whole South West Region?

igborilla:
Simple question, they cannot answer.

UncleAyo:
I have been check back again and again too to see whether one of them will give a reasonable answer.

phantomxx:
😂.. you disappeared! I ask again... Why can't you have a city in the south west like Lagos? 😂

2. Which yoruba billionaires came together and built lagos? 😂

Ezewuzie01:
Onitsha has never been a capital in its entire existence but go there and see what Anambra people built there without government support unlike Lagos that was built by the Portuguese, then the British and then with palm oil receipts from the east, groundnut receipts from the north and later crude oil receipts from the east and south.

UncleAyo:
Lagos is a city in the Southwest, Ibadan is there in the Southwest, Abeokuta (Ogun state) is there.

Replying my question with another question, I think is not appropriate.

Now answer the question: Why can't we have a Lagos-like city in the Southeast Nigeria too?

Nobody claim a Yoruba Billionaire built the southwest and we can all se what the governors are doing. You and your billionaire brother have been claiming to own and build everything in Lagos, so why can't you replicate the same in your regoin?

phantomxx:
Leave all this mischief.. no sensible igbo will claim they built lagos... they contributed to it greatly like every other Nigerian. Make your peace with that but for us to stay here and watch you yorubas claim what you DONT have IT IN YOU to build, e no go happen.

If you want us to take you clowns seriously, let's discuss Ekiti and Ogbomosho that have not tasted oil money like lagos. 😂

The igbos always talk about lagos because yorubas boast with a city they contributed greatly to! Yet you disparage them.

You run your mouth online yet will collect salary from an igboman tomorrow or pay your rent to an igbo landlord.. 😂.. leave story jare!

UncleAyo:
But it is your people that have it in you to build; then why don't you replicate the "having it in you to build" in your region?

Lagos state governor was building different infrastructures, including the rail lines. This is how Lagos was gradually developed to become what it is (Same with other governors in other southwest states)... What are you governors doing?

Lagos state is already developed before your people begin to massively migrate to Lagos in less than 3 or 4 decade ago. Must we spell out everything for you?

phantomxx:
Yes, lagos was already developed by who? Yoruba ronu billionaires or the colonialists?
When the billionaire Odumegwu Ojukwus father was trading in lagos, who had already developed lagos by then? Abi he's no longer igbo? 😂

The igbos are traders and are always attracted to seaports where they can facilitate that trade.

Lagos is witnessing rapid development today because of a foundation laid for it by the colonialists and the rest of Nigeria... the contribution from the indigenous yoruba was miniscule in the grand scheme of things.

Okay, we igbo DID NOT PUT A PIN IN LAGOS , HAPPY NOW BUT NEITHER DID THE YORUBA! 😂 .Case closed!

Like I said, if you want us to take you serious, go and develop ogbomosho 😂

JagabanB:
They will tell you that FG built Lagos and FG is not contributing anything to their region.
Same them will tell you that every household has a billionaire but they can't build anything substantial in that region other than their houses.

ariesbull:
why can't we have another Lagos like in SW at least Anambra is the second most urbanised state after Lagos

...show me Ogun, Osun, Ekiti, Oyo,

phantomxx:
Please shut up with your puerile, nauseating tribal jingoism. Go and learn from your forebears on nairaland who have broached this topic countless times and we reset their heads countless times.

When you finish, tell me one signature project built since the military left. Compare what the federal govt built to what the state built in lagos and you'll know Tinubu has used your brains to drink garri.

Lagos is benefitting from years of it being the FCT .

JagabanB:
The states you listed are twice, thrice and more times larger in size than the Anambra u listed, if u out the development in Anambra into their landmass it won't show, so u actually ought to do better.
The irony is that lgb0s will leave the highly developed Anambra to go and live in the states u mentioned.

ariesbull:
oga we aren't talking about size ewu

We are talking about urbanisation...Lagos is the smallest state followed by Anambra and these are the most urbanised states in NIGERIA

Show me Ogun, Osun ,Ekiti, Oyo urban setting

Okay show me villages in these states let's compare as if say Na Yoruba build Lagos ..or do you think we don't know how backward your other Yoruba states are

And beside that Lagos indigenes have told you guys to stop adding them in SW severally

Show OGUN, ONDO, OYO,OSUN AND EKITI

blackboy:
This question is a question and also a statement. If you don't get it forget it.
If you say go to the east and you will see the same fine buildings and structures as you see in Lagos then you are living in self denial.

phantomxx:
Typing from one brown roofed hut in ogbomosho with a 2G techno in one hand and a human head in the other... these idiots make me laugh... 😂... una dey tickle my balls on a steady 😂

Nice2023:
No,na ur papa build Lagos?

People who have no plot of land in Lagos would be claiming to be Lagosians.

The real indigenes of Lagos that we schooled with don't make noise.

All of u from Ogun state would be shouting igbos this,igbos that.

Igbos are like shining stars...no one can quench their fire...not even empty barrels like u.

GoodLife4live:
you dream too much....second class slave dey claim shining stars...hahaha...I pity you..you better walk up

GoodLife4live:
brown roofs hut plenty for alaigbo bros....we don settle that one here

Why is southeastern region backward

phantomxx:
Is there also a Lagos- like city in the south west? Silly thread!

Since yorubas developed Lagos solely, did they suddenly develop amnesia when it came to building ibadan, ogbomosho, abeokuta and the other hellholes in the south west? 😂


My problem with you yorubas is that you don't travel. Remove lagos that was built by national revenue and tell me if the south west compares to the south east in development.

South east has far better urban centers beautiful and pleasing to the eyes... You'll struggle to match Enugu, Owerri,Awka, Onitsha and even umuahia in aesthetics and ambience!

I don't even want to mention Portharcourt in the old Eastern region that was NEVER FCT and is following lagos closely behind. Abeg talk another thing.

We've trashed this topic on nairaland more than a million times.

Travel more please. Lagos is not south west!

UncleAyo:
Why can't we have a Lagos-like city in the Southeast Nigeria too?

People who originated from Southeast region of Nigeria have and still claim to develop Lagos as a state and as a city, they single-handedly develop Thailand, they developed India, they developed South Africa, they developed America, they developed Asia, they developed Russia, but I am just curious about why they have not developed a Lagos-like City in the SouthEast Nigeria. Remember, they also claim Nigeria will get better only and only if Nigerians allow them to rule and develop Nigeria as a whole.

Note: That the population of people of this region is made of 90% Dollar Billionaires (as they use to claim), and should not be incapable of doing anything they decide to do.

Why can't my people from that side who single-handedly developed Lagos not develop a Lagos-like city in their SouthEast region of Nigeria?

Why can't we have a viable city in the Southeast region of Nigeria too where every Nigerian will want to travel to, establish a family, personalize it and call it their home for its hospitality and business opportunities. Not a place of terror, where terrorists usually have there field days and businesses close up every Mondays for fear of terrorists attack and business men hide under their beds for fear of getting murdered every Mondays? Why?

While Winners Keep Winning, Losers Keep Giving Excuses And Never Reflect, But Keep Practicing The Same Losers Strategies That Yielded No Desired Result.

This is an honest question and I want somebody to answer me.
