They worked hard before getting the wealth no one gifted them anything so nothing to be ashamed of there, lagos has also benefited massively from oil and gas resources from the niger delta which was used to build mega infrastructures in lagos so u people shouldn't make it look as if only yoruba resources made lagos what it is today.

Amotolongbo:
This is a loose talk.

What did they bring from their village while going to Lagos. Majority of them went through the night bus with nylon bag.
Lagos made the Igbos, simple

lawani:
Do you know that some countries base on port revenue just like some base in oil? Yet states in Nigeria are being paid derivation for oil but the port states are paid nothing for ports revenue. Do you think this is fair? If not then Lagos is being owed one century of derivation from port revenue

Mrexcell:
Only primitive people reason like this lagos was also nothing before niger delta oil money was injected into it to give it a heads up and project it for massive development.

UncleAyo:
We also wish they can look homeward and give back to the economy of their region too. And make the region a place every Nigerians will cherish (covet and call a nomansland) and want to call home for her available opportunities.

All region in Nigeria must equally experience economic growth. Not until Yorubaland is overpopulated.

You (literally) can't give what you don't have or create what you can't replicate in your own home for others...

And you are not even from Lagos. I know becos the people from Lagos aren't the ones always claiming Lagos and starting ish. Its always the ones from Osun, Ondo and Ekiti that drag Lagos the most.

Lagosians lived peacefully with their guests and neighbours for yrs until the ones from the aforementioned villages migrated to Lagos and started all this chaos.

Mrexcell:
No lagos ought to show gratitude and appreciation to the nigerian state and to the people of the niger delta for developing those lagos ports with nigeria's collective oil resources and also allowing lagos to monopolise port activities in nigeria for decades. The nigerian state also has other port options in other states but choosed to massively develop lagos ports first.

They imported nuisance and tribalism just like their president who stole Lagos but is originally from Osun

lawani:
You are insulting Lagos but it is not your fault. Why can't you say the oil states should show gratitude to the North for using groundnut money to do oil exploration? What you said is more stupid than that because there were ports in Lagos centuries before Nigeria. In 1960 the western region had a budget of 55 million pounds East had 12 million pounds and North had 7 million pounds

Mrexcell:
Only stating the hard facts nothing is stupid here show me the proofs that nigeria used the north groundnut oil money to develop oil wells in the niger niger? If the western region had a budget of 55m pounds how then did the nigerian state preferred to rely on ground nut oil money from the north with a mere budget of just 7m pounds instead of going to the western region with enough wealth to take funds if we are to even believe this ur story? It doesn't make any sense to me.

lawani:
You don't understand. People say federal money was used to develop oil resources but it is a stupid assertion because the regions controlled oil before the resource control decree. The idea that oil resources built Lagos ports is even more stupid because Lagos is a natural port that was very busy centuries before the formation of Nigeria

Mrexcell:
So what about the recent loans worth over $1b tinibu took from the UK to modernise lagos ports who is going to pay back those loans is it the lagos state govt?

lawani:
They make more than one billion dollars per annum from the ports. Any money put there or in the oil sector is to make more money and that does not negate the reality that the oil states are being paid derivation while port states are not paid

Mrexcell:
Lagos doesnt get paid but still gets the highest faac monthly allocations in nigeria today and still economically benefits locally from the modernisation of the ports. The niger delta only gets only13% from their oil resources while the rest 87% is shared to other states including ur lagos while their ports is also deliberately made to be redundant so that lagos ports can reap the huge dividends that comes from the redundancy u guys in the west should continue feeling smarter than anyone else in nigeria.

SonOfDSoil01:
just leave those hypocritical clowns…..they can’t see what’s coming for them. I always tell them 2027 elections , will be like a referendum in Yorubaland, because we are done tolerating their excesses

Sai igbo domination

codemaniacs:
eastern Nigeria 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..

so that access to the Atlantic ocean excuse is ignorance..

lagos has always been the economic capital of Yoruba people even before the demonic bri:tish people came to Nigeria.

England did not build primary schools, secondary schools, universities, health centers, hospitals, stadiums, technical institutes, vocation centers, maternity hospitals, pediatric hospitals, sports centers, housing estates, roads e.t.c. all over Nigeria between 1830 and 1960 and after..

they took the billions they made from Nigeria and other places they colonized and used it to build England they did not use it to build Nigeria and the other places they colonized. So foreigners and non-Yorubas did not add or bring anything to lagos.

lagos is the commercial center of the Yorubas not of Nigeria and it is as a result of Yorubas concentrating their wealth there.

It has nothing to do with colonial influence, government influence, Foreigners.

During the colonial government only a part of lagos island was the capital and only white people and Nigerian colonial government workers were allowed there.

The rest if lagos was filled with dirt roads, forests, and underdevelopment. No University in lagos, no teaching hospitals, no housing estates built by the British, no pipe borne water.

Yorubas are reaping the benefits of Yoruba wealth concentration.

Yorubas alone made lagos what it is today..

You see that nobody liked your comment, because you wrote jargons out of frustration .

So now,
Onne port
Calabar port
Warri port now belongs to the Igbos of south east. Remember what you said now, i know you people, tomorrow now you will change mouth . The day south east Nigeria the Igbos will claim Cross River State Calabar, River's State Port Harcourt and Delta State, Warri as part of their land that day i know what you guys will say oo.

Remember today, you are handing over this States to the south east people!

I still maintains my stand..... How i wished Lagos Nigeria was located in the south east of Nigeria, because of the Atlantic Ocean that is bordering with Lagos. By now the industrious Igbos of the south east would of turned Lagos Nigeria to UAE.

It's sad the South East people of Nigeria didn't had that opportunity of having a Sea Port close to the Atlantic Ocean as their own.

dheilaw1:
the real owners Don dey show you shege codedly. Una go soon collect fully.

Are you not from Oyo state again, do you also want to claim Lagos indigene again?

akpumping7720:
It belongs to other tribes in Nigeria as if those other tribes don't have their own ancestral homes in Nigeria. They are correcting you and you are still repeating the same thing.

ArcSEMPECJ:
That's exactly why I wonder why Lagos booming could not help even Ogun State to develop faster....Ibadan did not develop because of Lagos State, it is because of the University of Ibadan , one of the 3 prestigious Universities we have then and also the teaching hospital, is never because it is near Lagos State even though it is a 2hrs journey interval....

What does it tell us?.....it tells us that the booming spirit and energy drive is not coming from the indigenes of those living near Lagos State so the development is not reaching other near States talk more of Osun, Ekiti, even Ondo ,...

Assuming Yorubas are the pointers of the energy drive in Lagos State, every SW state is supposed to have benefited immensely from Lagos State...

UncleAyo:

Lagos Nigeria belongs to all TRIBES in Nigeria! I will repeat it over and over again if you want.

Yoruba developed Lagos, so why can't they also develop Ogun State that is very close to Lagos ?

lawani:
Yoruba and Igbo are not contemporaries by population and that means by any other thing. Lagos not to talk of Ibadan makes it very obvious and all this going back and forth is to not accept the fact. The Yoruba are almost three times the population of the Igbo and if you accept that many things will be easier for you to accept. How many Igbos even are in Lagos? If you give Yoruba 70 percent it means Igbo is 7.5 percent, if Yoruba is eighty percent it means Igbo is five percent, if Yoruba is sixty percent it means Igbo is ten percent. If you now go to the extreme and say Yoruba is 40 percent, Igbo still will not be more than fifteen percent. This is because whatever is left after Yoruba is deducted must be divided into four around equal parts before one part can be assumed Igbo. The four parts are Hausa, Igbo, other Northerners and other Southerners. No survey has ever put the Yoruba at less than seventy percent of Lagos and it may be as high as eighty percent. The English control London, the Germans Berlin, the Americans New York, the Russians Moscow, so the Yoruba are sufficiently big to say they control Lagos. After all they win 99 percent of elective posts in the city. However as long as Nigeria remains one, any Nigerian city is owned by all Nigerians as they are free to live and contest elections there.

If you are waiting for Lagos to become a non Yoruba city, you will wait indefinitely

codemaniacs:
the indigenes of Rivers state are 98% igbos..

Igbos billionaires and igbo state governments can also partner, negotiate and build ports in Akwa-ibom or Cross River or Bayelsa or Delta state then use railways to link to those new ports.

the SE has crude oil, one of the largest gas deposits in Africa, one of the largest coal deposits in Africa

while Yoruba people don't have the level of crude oil the SE have, the SW does not have gas deposits, does not have coal deposits.

when it comes to natural resources wealth the SE is extremely richer and wealthier than the SW and the rest of Nigeria and they should not be allowed to participate in politics outside the SE.

SW is significantly poorer than the SE...

so it is fuulish of SE people to be envying Lagos state and SW people.
