Maybe I’m not so knowledgeable about all the unused forest like regions/lands along Ogun and Oyo expressways
Areas where non settlements exists
Government can always buy to setup industries

MEEVEET:
People own them...

The truth is most Nigerians don't even know how development works

Out educational system have failed us.. I knew how much I had to research and read to understand developmental economics


Nigerians really need education, from leaders to the mass...

Antoeni:
Ogun State is An Extension of Lagos State, Ogun State is Nothing Without Lagos

yinkeys:
I know people own them
But no development in non settlements for decades or centuries
Government usually buy up lands when they want to establish something
Even private firms do
So it’s not new
Same way Dangote industries, lafarge etc do

MEEVEET:
The first thing is we are at democracy, government doing farming would never work... Government have no business in business

You are on the right track tho... Keep asking the right question, then find the answers

stuffs4me:
This is a nice development. The government of Ogun state has over the years been making Ogun state attractive to investments and their efforts have started to bear fruits. Any serious government provide infrastructure that will attract investors. Other states especially the South East state can take a cue from those steps taken by Ogun state government.


Apart from dancing gwo gwo gwo ngwo, what exactly are south east governors doing for their people?

stuffs4me:
You are busy attacking those governors working fort their people instead of you to be asking your own governor serious questions.
Apart from dancing gwo gwo gwo ngo, what exactly is your governor doing for your people?

MEEVEET:
I'm not sure Ogun has more factory than Abia

I have traveled both and I can say Ogun has more factory than Abia

Ogun State is An Extension of Lagos State, Ogun State is Nothing Without Lagos

With a lots of industries in OGUN state.... especially...in Ado-odo ota ,shagamu...ijebu ode area ....I am expecting more development but then....the Lagos-Abeokuta road.....from Abule egba to sango is one kind of hell...the inner road of agbado crossing to ijoko ,Agbara .igbesa to attan..hmmm.. Governor Dapo should please do more in road construction..... quality one ooo.

harjay1986:
Where is the land in Lagos for industrial estate

yinkeys:
Big lie made by capitalists
West propaganda
Aramco isn’t private owned, same as CNPC etc.
Countries like China, UAE & Saudi have their governments heavily involved in business
Nigeria just has a horrible corruption problem

MEEVEET:
So u prefer socialism?

yinkeys:
Nigerian visionnaires if given political power would model what works for us and give it a name
Eurocentric education or mode of governance is what would never work in Africa
Thé chinese style isn’t socialism
It’s more like a merger of the two
Government & Private Joint ventures

IyaTola:
Ibeju Lekki, Badagry

MEEVEET:
Lmaooo Chinese style is socialism on the inside capitalism on specific areas mostly for export... Surprise surprise those capitalist areas are by far the most developed part of China

Socialism can never work without a dictator

Generally this is the fundamental reason I say Nigeria can't be one

igbos where I come from are majority capitalist reason Nigerians see them as aggressive
And most Nigerians especially the poor ones who are majority are socialist deep down even though they don't understand what it means

yinkeys:
I’ve done extensive research on this
China is predominantly joint ventures, ignited by visionaries in power(government)
Government give heavy grants and tax leaves to new startups etc not necessarily private venture capitalists
With government on some of these private entities boards
It’s documented online and YouTube
Nothing in a region is as powerful as a government
There’s a limit to how much an individual or firm can mass produce
Same way the late Dubai visionary who propelled the country’s infrastructural and tourism sector was from the government
Igbos predominately import, strange you had to bring up ethnicity
The Igbo apprenticeship style of learning is not in strictly capitalist countries. Even america has some form of grants, social security etc
It’s not like the country is exporting or inventing on a large scale
With government intervention Aba shoes and other products etc will attain maximum scale production and exports
Chinese construction etc all government supported.
That’s what the West wants you to believe, that socialism never works.
I’m just not a fan of lots of Eurocentric ideas
Capitalist propaganda, defending another country’s currency etc
Without some form of both, HDI will never improve
China gives bailouts too & has a lot of state owned entreprises
Massive investments in public infrastructure, education etc

MEEVEET:
Chinese model can only work when you have a dictator

Some of you don't mind it... Traditionally you are used to having a godking

I am from a tribe where gods can be judged by men

The battle between socialism and capitalism ended years ago and capitalist shows they are better... Sure can be tailored to specific nations

But government owning business or getting directly involved in business has always failed even in China

yinkeys:
Some top Igbo business took money from government to grow their business
It’s a blatant lie to believe government has nothing to do with business
I guess they’re not telling you the truth
Innoson for example confessed he got money from BOI.

ShogunNoName:
You see another one?

Obaseki see your mates o!!! See them!
See what ordinary Yoruba man is achieving while you are there sleeping while our home turns to chaos. Cultism bad roads terrible infrastructure, zero maintenance .

Stupid man

BALLOSKI:
You think Ogun is attracting investment because they did anything special? They're getting all this because they are close to Lagos and Lagos is filled up. Lagos has the port, too.

ManOfMan:
ONLY two things make Ogun State attractive to business - proximity to Lagos & the fact that Lagos is already congested
