Lagos is filled to the brim.
I am happy that our of the top 7 states, 4 are from the South West.
I am surprised to see Ekiti. Congratulations to them.

Make Lagos Rest Small Abeg. Make Investments Go Round.
No Be Juju Be Dat?

The report added that Lagos is followed by Ogun State with $7.95m, Oyo with $7.81m and Kaduna with $4.06m.

Damnn

I[b]was rooting for Anambra![/b]

Swears..Ebonyi was on my mind.

LagosOrigin:
Lagos is not safe for investments so I'm not surprised .

eboe anambra state is barren state for sure. Zero productivity

Armaggedon:
I wonder how anybody will find this surprising. This is just part of a larger trend. Abuja with better plan, better road network, smooth traffic, busier airport and most importantly, peaceful coexistence among the ethnic groups who dominate it ie Igbos, middle belt and South South guys etc Abuja is poised to overtake Lagos. The surprising thing is that it's not only happening faster than expected but it's happening in several ways at Lagos expense. This shows that investors are sensitive to the increasing volatility of Lagos in the past few years, as predicted.

Small news, dem don start with we dominate Abuja. Small time Abuja go turn no man's land

They're busy pursuing investors due to tribalism and politics

raskymonojendor:
Let them all flock to iragbiji , Ogbomosho Oshogbo and Abuja. Lagos needs that decongestion.

Gbamusolutely correct.
I mean wotowotoprously gbam

It's amazing no one is mentioning the effect of Wike and Tinubu infrastructure development and investment?

Wonders shall never end.

Igbos are more lagosian than other southwest states.

Lol. Guilty conscience always troubling you covetous expansionists and usurpers. Did I mention any ethnic group?

Three Seaports in the pipeline for the South West:

Badagry Deep seaport - Lagos State via PPP

Olokola Deep seaport in Ogun - Dangote

Ilajẹ Deep seaport - Ondo state via PPP

The South West is not waiting for the Federal Govt.

The completed Lekki deep sea port was via Lagos State via PPP too.



Absolutely happy for Lagos too. People can now move to Abuja and Lagos breathe.

Who keeps those seaports busy? Where do all the containers wnd up at? Go and verify. That may give you some concerns though

1. Busier Airport? Shey na joke?
2. Dominated by Igbos? You be something else I swear.

Xenophobia in Lagos is beginning to yield fruits.

There is no reason Abuja should be ahead of Lagos, especially as Lagos is the commercial/financial capital of Nigeria.

The last two years of Tinubu's administration is beginning to gradually destroy the economic attraction and potentials of Lagos

Na lie!

Wike is doing a good job in Abuja.

No single foreign investment in the whole of South East!..Hahahahahaha

LagosOrigin:

Aba Origin!

E pepper you because no single state in the South East is mentioned.

No Osu caste system or "Ebonyi is inferior" lunacy in us. Yoruba na Yoruba and we own all inch of the SW .

Likewise, as reasonable folks, we agree you own all corners of your SE and that is why we stay away from your region and the reason I have never set foot in any part Ala Igbo and unlikely to ever do so 😎

OneNigerianist:
7millions dollars is paltry. I think the East get way more in local investment.

Dey play!


All the local investors like Dangote, Otedola, BUA, Eleganza, Oba Otudeko are avoiding South East like a plague.

Make them no try that no man's land in Abuja o, Gwari folks won't take it kindly like the yorubas did for years until 2023.

STOP talking IRRESPONSIBLE B.S. There's NO widespread xenophobia in the ENTIRE Lagos State. The wild speculation is all in your head. Do you even know what xenophobia means?

It's fine if other parts of Nigeria attract FDI. That'll decongest Lagos and reduce pressure on infrastructure.

Just because some streets and landmarks were renamed from Yoruba names and non-Yoruba names as well doesn't mean there's any xenophobia. The Local Governments have a right to rename any street or landmarks in Nigeria in their localities because it's within their purview.

In addition the "Second Pedro Bus" in Gbagada Phase 2, Lagos State, has ALWAYS been the official or original name of that Bus Stop till 2025 NOT Charly Boy which was just an unofficial OR informal name used because Charles Oputa lived in that rented duplex which was close to "Second Pedro Bus Stop." It was ONLY renamed officially as "Olamide Badoo Bus Stop" after Olamide Adedeji in 2025.

In conclusion, Charly Boy was just a tenant in that house who was eventually evicted by his landlady for owing rent from that duplex close to the Second Pedro Bus Stop now Olamide Badoo Bus Stop. He was NEVER a landlord in that house.

Why won't it. When ronu will not allow people to rest in Lagos. This is even the beginning.

Getat!
Lagos is saturated already. Cost of establishing business in Lagos due to land scarcity will inevitably make investors look at alternatives.

It is normal.

Wen u have been expanding for long, it would get to a level, in which, ur marginal expansion, would be " diminishing while the total outputs would be increasing ", Lagos is full already, hence the investors are looking for other areas where it's spacious enough for their investments.
First, compare the amount of money you would use to get plots of land in Lagos, to Abuja, asides that, where is even the land in Lagos? Compare that to Abuja, with very large unused land till date. Ordinary Uniabuja was boasting of 11 hectares of land until Wike grabbed it.

Reason in that direction and not from negative point of view ok.

If xenophobia is start existing in Lagos, why can't you guys move to ur own state? Abi, it's an abomination to develop ur own State?

Who told you, xenophobic won't catch up with you in Abuja in future?

owobokiri:
It has always been becaus of the presence of the federal government. It has nothing to do with any sectional imput. [/b]Lagos enjoyed that streak for a very long time as a result of the federal presence in Lagos.[b] Even when the sit of government was moved to Abuja, folks stayed put in Lagos as the past administrations ran the place as a "melting pot" of the nation.

Now Abuja is gradually taking over as xenophobic attacks and close minded policies gather momentum in Lagos. Folks will continue to leave "their Lagos" for them, untill lagos becomes another Okitipupa or Oshogbo. No one will invest in an environment where someone can wake up overnight and start demolishing your property out ethnic fury..

Those people no wan gree that lagos is still reaping the benefits of once been the capital, they have resorted to saying it is only one part of it that was capital back then

WizardOfNG:
Kindly spread this wonderful news aggressively to your five SE States.

I can contribute generously to any newspaper circular or adverts you wish to use to spread news of this new and wonderful destination for Igbos that is a million times better than Lagos. 😊😎

You guys are still deluding yourselves with the "igbo migration" to Lagos?
The igbos you find in Lagos are the children of those that relocated after the war due to Gowon's 3Rs...no sensible Igbo man will invest hugely outside Igbo land in this 21st century!

The funny thing is that Igbos dominate in the shipping business in that same Lagos.

And apparently more than half of the containers that arrive in Lagos get forwarded to the SE.

What this means is that proper sea ports in the SE like in Obuaku in Abia State and Oseakwa in Anambra state will be hugely successful.

Hopefully when PO assumes the presidency, he will grant the necessary waivers and licences to authorise the construction of SE seaports so as to really open up the SE economy

Igbos are more Lagosian than even Lagosians themselves

Igbos are more American than Americans

Igbos are more Italian than Italians

Hope you're happy now

It’s funny the Ibos are sharing akpu and lacassera on this thread . Interestingly, all their states are conspicuously missing .
One would think Ibo are the foreign investors who brought the billions to Lagos and Abuja 😂😂
Shouldn’t they be worried that their states have zero FDIs? What is their obsession with Lagos sef

Racoon:
Perhaps the ethnic profiling and discrimination going in Lagos is beginning to give potential investors a serious call for concern

Idonated two electric poles for my close. I promised to buy cable so we can hook up to the grid. I don’t have the money now really , but even if I do I’m beginning to think twice . The tribalism in Nigeria is getting out hand.

This me sha , but if this sentiment cuts across then you can understand why the state dropped.
