Housing generally even in developed country is a big spend/expense.
It's one major thing that drains the monthly income of those staying overseas thst why u see people sharing accommodation.
It's is not a Lagos thing.
Do unknown what goes unto acquiring genuinevm land and building it.
It could take years

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
When lakowe/ Eleko become fully open and landlord start increasing rent, they will move to Epe.
That's how they will keep on moving until they gradually near their village at ijebun ode, ondo, edo

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.
If warri port is working, exporters based in Edo, ondo, delta would be using that port but they all used lagos port causing city congestion

That is why our major problem is not corruption, but ethnic structure. Honestly, for Nigeria to be well run, so many people need to kpai!

for Nigeria to be well run, every tribe has to invest in their states of origin.

Nigeria cannot progress equally, some ethnic nations will be more advanced than others because their own people re-invest into their ethnic nations within Nigeria.

Nigeria cannot progress until all ethnic nations within Nigeria develop their own ethnic territory.

I agree with all three statements. The country cannot be equally developed because all cultures are not equal/the same. Some are more creative and entrepreneurial than others. Some are more risk taking than others. Some are more aggressive than others. These traits would apply to their regions.

Their discourse is always snitching around and gossiping and most times if u are not used to buy them drinks on most ocassion, they will frame up a situation, mostly an allegation and tag u with it. Their taught" We need something that will make his issue trend in this neighborhood" Most times, their elders will say" Get married and start having kids" U gain nothing in this life except these things" Their youth, i will try and have a baby before i turn 34, all to mention but few. angry

But if you don't want to see any non Yoruba at all in lagos. Then push for division of Nigeria. Because you can't be telling non Yoruba to leave lagos when Nigeria is still a One. Nobody will listen to you because you can't eat your cake and have it.
Who begged them to come to Lagos? Point is, you can criticize things without badmouthing the place. I will never understand that logic of h-a-t-i--n-g a place you earn your living so much
