This is similar to the usual excuses of failed siblings, blaming their most successful siblings that 'all the money that our parents had were used to educate Broda Yemi/ Aunty Aminat' now, he forgets us.

The real reason why other States witnessed slower growth: collapses of over 300 manufacturing companies scattered accross Nigeria between 1986-2007 and replacement, with culture of massive importation. This led to great rural-urban migration.

spot on, the level of importation is too massive we can never have a balance of trade. kano and kaduna where industrialized states before we found ourselves where we are today

who ask u?


simply start funding lagos yourself.

we can move goal post, change topic but i think VDM is very clear, other regons cannot go without so Lagos can have everything.


it is dat simple.

Must everything be in lagoon of Africa.

PulaPower:
Mtchewwww..

Like say other states for naija no dey receive allocations..

There are some state governors that you’ll barely hear them doing anything, yet they receive monthly allocations..

Lagos has a lot of federal projects, institutions and mega businesses example is the seaport he is talking about. Those establishments need Federal Government to do them. So, understand what he is saying

ONE OF THE MAIN REASON BIAFRA STRUGGLE STARTED AGAIN IS LAGOS.


Y SHOULD PEOPLE IN ONITSHA COME ALL THE WAY TO LAGOS BEFORE THEY CAN TRADE IN ONITSHA?


PEOPLE IN ENUGU WILL ENTER BUS TO LAGOS BEFORE THEM GO ENTER PLANE TO AMERICA?


IT WAS EVEN DISCUSSED ON ARISE NEWS.

If we leave Lagos for una l, una go destroy am. What have you done with your States? State wey done de sweet like soup. But to cook am na problem. If you want to prove you are truly capable, start by turning your village to heaven. You kuku get plenty mouth. Use your mouth develop your state. If we gree for una, bomb blast and sit at home go de happen for Lagos.

Many many decades ago when they decided to make Abuja the new capital, thousands laughed and predicted that Lagos would dry out of investments, be abandoned and be on its knees etc etc etc. well, it's Lagos that is having the last laugh and lifting the middle finger to it's critics. Fact is Nigeria needs Lagos more than Lagos needs Nigeria.

If Lagos is a separate country you will need visa and non indigenes automatically need to prove why they are there, who they are and what they contribute. Making Lagos a new country will even deprive you more. Are your sure you are ready for this? No fake drugs and second hand things will be allowed. I know that is immediate alleged discrimination for a few.

2.9 TRILLION OF FEDERAL ALLOCATION SPENT ON LAGOS ALONE.


YET THE DEPLORABLES WILL COME TO CLAIM NA WE GET LAGOS?

shut up ,why are other ports not working?
Calabar port that 70% of cars imported into the countryside and other goods were through the port and was working very well. Thereby spreading development to Akwa Ibom and Lagos port was a par with it. The same Tinubu colluded with OBJ and said the needed dredging and Uzondinma was awarded the project yet nothing happened till date. Lagos became the sole active port in the country,so why wouldn't the develop better than other regions.
The claim big ships can't come to calabar port yet is it canoe that supplies tankers of fuel,diesel, kerosene and bitumen to depot's at calabar.
Crossriver is closer to the North than Lagos is and let the port be allowed to work and see if development wouldn't reach places like bebue state

A deplorable is one who street urchins tell to sit at home for 3yrs every Monday. And they do like Zombie. Those same zombie want to be advising everyone when they have made their home hell on earth. You want to come and transport your genius thinking to us in Lagos. Sorry, that is why our cultures is different. We are not fools. So fools can’t rule us.

Nteogwuija:
He might not be entirely wrong. Using the ports for example. Someone once said he tried clearing his goods at the Onne port, something that'd take less than a week to clear at the Lagos port, it took over three weeks with intense begging for it to be cleared at the Onne port. The person said it was just an unnecessary series of bottle necks with nonchalant people.

Now, with such experience people would tend to want to clear their goods at Lagos over Port Harcourt.

Whether this is delibrate (to make Lagos' port more attractive) or not is what I can't say.

I don't know if it is the same person I watched, but the one I watched mentioned how he prayed and even paid bribes to have his equipment cleared. He is from the north central. He was even told by port officials that he ought to have brought his equipment via Lagos ports rather than Onne port.

Nigeria has a big tribal problem.

Bovis:
The gap between Lagos state in terms of development and most of the oil rich states will continue to widen due to the deep rooted insecurity in those areas

For example, Chinese expatriates working at BUA cement in Delta State were kidnapped and their armed escorts killed a few days ago. Hopefully president Tinubu will fast track the process of state police

Edo state*

Let's be accurate with our utterances on a public forum.

THE DEPLORABLES CRY OVER EVERYTHING INCLUDING GO AND FORM YOUR LAGOS CONTRY SINCE U OWN IT.

THE WEAKEST LINK, UNSTABLE AS WATER.

So, how is this a Yoruba problem? Is it not your same people making life difficult? Same way they frustrated oil companies till they all ran away. Your Governors have stolen enough that will make cars start flying in your state but you people are focused on Lagos. Leaving the degenerates in your State to steal freely but try to hold other’s accountable. Leave Lagosians alone. We are focused on building wealth for us and our children.

Misterone:
VDM is just being childish and ignorant! Take for instance, the Dangote refinery. This refinery was initially planned for Ogun State but due to greed and communal issues, it was sited in Lagos with so much support from the state government. Another is the Lekki deep seaport, this was influenced by the state governor. Therefore, if your state governor thinks governance is all about going to Abuja to collect kulikuli, don't blame other that are thinking outside the box.

Ondo state*

Ogun state was about Dangote building a port, not his refinery.

JULIUS MALEMA WANTED TO VISIT ENUGU BUT HAD TO GO TO LAGOS FIRST.


IF WE WANT TO GO TO AMERICA, WE MUST COME FROM ABIA, EBONYI TO LAGOS FIRST.



IF WE WANT TO DO BUSINESS IN ONITSHA, WE MUST COME CLEAR GOODS IN LAGOS.


ALL OUTDADTED SYSTEM THAT IS UNWORKABLE IN THE 21ST CENTURY.



VDM HAVE SPOKEN PEACEFULLY, THEY ARE HERE FIGHTING TO MAINTAIN THE STATUS QUO AS IT IS, AT OTHERS EXPEBNSE.

patrickmuf:
VDM should consult people with knowledge about particular subjects before delving into things he does not understand.

In the South-South/South East, Akwa Ibom is pushing to have a seaport, Rivers, Cross River and Anambra (Onitsha)...All these states can easily put resources together to have a world-class international seaport in the region, but they're working independently...If the FG chooses a state to focus on, the rest will cry of marginalisation...Of the lot, Akwa Ibom and Rivers can fund the dredging of their ports but the Governors are not serious.

That project has stalled as there has been no approval from the federal government. Udom worked tirelessly for it to be approved, but it has not been approved. I wait to see what Akpabio would do.

The money borrowed to build Tinapa in Calabar would have completely funded the dredging of Calabar ports.

The contract for this was awarded to the current governor of Imo. He squandered everything.

Hotfreezer:
VDM is from Delta State.
At a point, Shell was the largest company in Delta state.
How did Delta people treat Shell that made the company exit Delta state?

Okowa, Uduaghan ruled that state for almost 2 decades. What did they achieve?

The highest employers of labour in his Delta state are hookup, keke and POS.

What businesses are his State government attracting?

Mind you, Delta has an airport and a Seaport. What have they done with it?

How did Delta treat Shell?
Why have you not asked yourself how Shell treated the people? Why have you not bothered to ask what happened to the lands and waters of the people of Delta states? Why have you not wondered what happened to fish in the waters and animals on land?

While you sit there enjoying amenities installed using oil money from Delta state, developing your state and other parts of the nation, why have you not bothered to ask if Deltans have benefitted from the resources of their land?

While other parts of the nation are supplied electricity also from Okpai in Delta state, why have you not asked why the same community has not had electricity for over twenty years?

Hookups are largely patronized by criminals. Maybe you are one, otherwise, you would not make such comment. If keke and POS are sources of income for people, maybe you need to get to Delta state and apply for one.

What businesses are the state government attracting? Hook up boys as you!

Lagos can fund itself. Nigeria is exploiting Lagos and making Lagos a dumping ground. Lagos is not getting up to 10% of her contributions to Nigeria. If Lagos were to be Dubai that is just one of the Emirates in UAE Lagos would have been the first economy in Africa.

A Colony is part of Britain existing on foreign land. The British made Lagos a Colony for economic dynamics and reasons. In fact, they came to Lagos with Ships (Heavily Armed NAVY) and forced the Eleko (the traditional ruler of Lagos Island - Eko) to sign a treaty .

In Africa Union, ECOWAS is the most economically dynamic bloc, after the Southern Africa economic bloc. The ECCAS - Economic Community of Central Africa States with Cameron, Gabon, etc are not that dynamically buoyant. Lagos is the economic hub of ECOWAS. The Ports of Lagos, Cotonou, Lome Port, Ghana Port, Cote D'Ivoire port, Senegal port are very operational and interlink to Shipping agencies.

VDM is a Character created by Nigeria. Societal decay has led Nigeria into era of Social Media entertainers called later day activists.

It takes High Intellect and Spiritual consciousness to know that Triangular Forces of the Sun, the Moon and the Stars control the universe. That is why Israeli Flag is Two Triangles (Solomon Seal). Lagos has three Physical and Spiritual International Boundaries - the Sea, the Air and the Land representing the Water, Fire and Air . Lagos hosted two Waters, the Oceans and the Lagoon.

The Prosperity of Lagos was sealed about 100 years ago with meetings with the Angels by Saint Moses Orimolade Tunolase the founder of Cherubim and Seraphim at the Beach and revalidated unknowingly by Baba Adeboye in 1998 at Lekki 98 Congress. Lagos must prosper. Nigeria as a nation is greatly hindering the potential and prosperity of Lagos

Nigeria is exploiting Lagos.

AfonjaPriest:
I have said it many times in many fora that the reason noisemakers are claiming Lagos to be their birthright is because of the undeserved status Lagos have been bestowed with.
Oya, close the ports in Lagos and see if Lagos nor go dry pass bonga fish.
Accommodators go wake up to discover say population of Lagos don go down.
Tribal landlords nor go fit dey select tribes, as their developer customers wey dey pay dem well well go don vamoose.
Trust me, dem accommodators neva see anything, but by the time they close down the ports, even oshodi-apapa expressway go dey look like wetin they want take do football field.

A coastal.city should close its ports to validate your argument? Never too late to go back to school

You are the one mentioning an ethnic group name; I did not. What I stated was narrated by a successful entrepreneur who thought (logically) that it is cheaper to import via Onne port, but his equipment got delayed. In fact, during his narration, I noticed he became inaudible when he started narrating how the equipment got delayed. His audibility dropped after stating that port officials said he should have used Lagos ports.

To date, Ibom Port has yet to be approved, despite Udom's tireless efforts.

There is an international airport in the East, use it. Also, pressure the airlines to fly to the East. They probably refuse to because they don’t want to start being drug couriers unintentionally. Clean up your State and everybody will rush you. It’s just the truth. It’s no secret that Lagos is a major airport and the officials there make extra effort to catch drug couriers. That’s because we don’t have a high concentration of Yoruba’s trading drugs. It will be much harder in the East where local people will be afraid to catch these guys for fear of their whole family house being wiped out.
