What you see in Lagos is not the work of the senators but the president who hails from the area.

Dont ask questions whose answer you already know, the few senators who try to push for development of their areas are being suspended, one of them is a lady who has been battling her suspension ever since.

You know this but the Agbado palliative wont let you say the truth. BTW I hear the chips is ready for distribution this month, have you secured your spot?

Did we return to democracy in 2023?

Have we not had democracy for 26 years now, with South east senate presidents and other senior officials in the two federal legislative chambers

The youth should look for an alternative place for work.
I work in kogi amd earn more than 300k and i tell you food and transportation is really cheap here.

Try and leave Lagos even though they buried our umbilical cords there we can survive outside of Lagos.

Despite the hike in cost of rentage in Lagos where i was born more than decades ago, i will still prefer living there if i find myself there again cos of the multi lingual nature and the fact that you can come across people who share same ideology as u. Now take Ibadan as an example, the youth ideology is an eye sore. For the first time in my life, i refuse to mingle with the youths here for my eight years in this place. I stand with Lagos any day any time. It is not about the cost of living, but about how lives are affected in place of residence.

You’re 💯 right, I can relate with you.

Lanruze:
Give yourself another 5-10 years then compare your earning power, exposure and general upgrade to that of a Lagosian. Then you will know that Kogi was just a waste of time.

There is no fun living in the village or semi-urban environment, I am a living witness. Wasted time in a semi-urban state like of Kogi-State.

Just because you didn’t make the best out of your life in kogi state doesn’t mean others can’t

if you have 600k today in lagos, you can not get an apartment of 500k. its crazy. the extra charges is purely scam. daylight robbery
house rent 500k
agreement 100k
commission 100k
damages 100k
everything 800k.

and some go as high as 150k each for agreement and commission. and this is just room and palour.

the is exactly what the government should look into. extra charge should not be up to 20% of the rent. what will seeing in lagos is 60% 70%. its bad, its extortion

akpumping7720:
Demand is actually more than supply. Overpopulation in Lagos is really a major factor of this pandemic. Everybody wants to Japa to Lagos. Other state governors should sit up. Abuja is also experiencing similar situation.
Lack of job availability in urban areas of other states

this is not about any state government sitting up. lagos is the only state in nigeria that has a seaport in a country heavily reliant on importation, hence most buisiness/industries will choose to situate in lagos/ogun state environs close to lagos due to nearness of raw materials and products imported.

there are about 2 or 3 other states in the south south that is capable of having a seaport but due to political reasons it will not happen because it weakens the power of the southwest region which is heavily reliant on the city of lagos and strengthens the autonomy of the south south which is already the breadwinner of the country as is. so forget it bro, there's nothing special about lagos governors/leadership, they simply enjoy a unique privilege, due to that SEAPORT mainly plus being the first capital of the country, hence many industries established there already

How will house rent not keep increasing when some people have emptied their entire villages into Lagos, and many others are still on their way as we speak to celebrate new yam festival here since the demons that are chasing them away from their ancestral land are still active?!

SE and SS have 4 seaports which is more than anywhere in Nigeria..

There's a seaport in Rivers state called "port harcourt".
There are also:
Calabar port
Onne port
Warri port..

the only thing Lagos and the SW has over other regions is the spending power which means the buyers and consumers of most products in Nigeria is the SW..

A business person whose market is the SW will not import from the ports in the SE/SS regions then transport the goods to the SW to sell because that is waste of funds and will destroy the business before it starts..

you have never started or owned a business in your life so you don't understand how businesses work and make profits.

The government esp Lagos State government has an hand in this esp the current government, imagine a friend acquired a ppty for his mum, just to renovate, they stopped them from working it's been over 2 months now and they settled laspa, Las orisirisi with over 3m and still paying, the guy just dey regret, area boys and baale own still dey o. Assuming it's for rent, will it be cheap? Don't forget to add the skyrocketing cost of materials

My church wanted to renovate its roof because the old roof was leaking. They started work and Lagos people came and stopped them, I can tell you not by hearsay, but because i have info on every dime spent, that the church used 19m to settle all the Lagos ministry and people constantly coming for one payment or another. Lagos is truly a crime scene.

After living and working in the city for over 10 years.
I now prefer taking jobs outside then return to my family at intervals.

Cost of living due to population influx along with multiple taxation makes it expensive.

The traffic experience is torturous.

Where in Europe u fit use 3m japa to?

I will always push for remapping of what is known as Lagos state to include two or three more LGAs from current Ogun state. Good road access to old Lagos and good planning is all thats needed.

go and remap your SE states... leave SW alone...

anonimi:
Do other governors have federal airports and seaports as well as other infrastructure that Lagos has due to its being the federal capital territory from 1914?

Do other governors have the revenue that Lagos has, due to its high population? Is this not the case for London, New York and other cities that are commercial and/or administrative capitals of countries, whether developed or not?

what is stopping Delta Rivers or Bayelsa from having those?

codemaniacs:
Lagos is Yoruba nation's smallest state with the biggest economy...

Lagos does not need to build up..

Let non-Yoruba people move their businesses to their own states and stop leveraging and living off Yoruba peoples money and then Lagos will be decongested...

Lol
Bros, if you want complete reign over who migrates to Lagos, push for the disintegration of Nigeria. Moreover, should the bold be implemented, Lagos won't be what it's today. Check all major metropolitan cities, they're diverse and accept investments from non-citizens/outsiders/non-indigenes.

But hey, if you want to continue on the path of tribalism, you're free to, but do the first line I stated.

You re taking this out of context, I am not against people going to a particular state to settle down, all am saying is that the national resources should be shared in such a way that encourages other regions to thrive, its not always about the money but the commitment.

Little things like roads, security will go a long way.

No need to push for dis-integration of Nigeria... Once non-Yorubas realizes and makes peace with the fact that they are not getting jobs because they are non-Yorubas then they will automatically leave..

should the bolded be implemented then Lagos will be more than what it is today...

you don't realize that people leaving their states to move to Lagos is actually brain-drain within Nigeria and it keeps those states under-developed because the people that are meant to call out those governors have moved to Lagos and are instead calling out Lagos government...

states like Delta, Rivers, Edo, Akwa-ibom, Bayelsa, Cross-River e.t.c should be much more developed than Lagos state but their people have moved to Lagos..

There is no tribalism in Nigeria..

most Nigerians especially southern Nigerians shout "tribalism" because they are not living in their ethnic region and want to manipulate the system of the region they are living in to favour them.

my point is about more land for Lagos state to rapidly urbanize an accomodate its growing numbers in a less chaotic fashion and not about Ogun state sitting up. The lagoa that was capital is about 13 times smaller than current Lagos. If it has been done before, it can be done once more to solve problems. Tell that to you father and mother and see what they do or say to your oblongata.

my point is that Oyo state is bigger than Ogun state but Oyo has better road network than Ogun state..

Lagos is okay the way it is..

Deport yourself back to your father and mother state so that you can have peace of mind..

Lagos Agbero have no father and mother 99.9% of the time. I understand you plight.

Eye of lagos didn't do their research before writing this rubbish.

Where will they get a single bedroom for 300-600 in Mushin or Agege or a room self for 150k?

I dont know the rates in Mushin/Agege axis but here in Osapa/ IgboEfon area, 1bdr flat is around 2.5 - 3m while 1 room self-contain is around 1.5-1.8m. 4/5 bdrm duplexes are being rented at around 8-10m yearly. Most folks who find it difficult to cope with the increasing rates are moving towards Lakowe/ Eleko axis

How do Ibadan youths behave? Isn't that the birthplace of UI?

I do agree that Lagos hosts Nigeria's best and brightest. Abuja is in second place.

Calabar Port is largely moribound. It's only used for exports when there is delay at Lagos ports.
Onne port is "working". However, it's not all goods that are allowed entry via the port. I have no idea about Port-harcourt port.
Bomadi port in Warri isn't working. It's worse than its Calabar counterpart.

Yes, it makes sense to cite offices, factories and businesses in Lagos because of the population, but the favouritism towards its ports over others contributed to the population increment.
