There has been many questions as to what constitute a developed state? In your opinion, what qualities should a state, like Lagos, possess before been considered as developed?

A state with less corruption and nice IGR

Lagos state is a slum.

Lagos is a slum with dilapidated infrastructures.
The only developed place in Nigeria is Abuja

Haba Ablaze you can do better. In my opinion, a developed state is the one which has rich human capital, very low poverty rate, good health care system, security assurance, good road network, dynamic and robust education and above all, state-wide modernisation turning villages into towns. The only state with the above indices to that is ANAMBRA STATE. now bite me.

I didn't write state rather place, But Nigeria is a State aswell

Believe it or don't Abuja is a equivalent of a state, with FCT minister and a Senator, with size more than that of many States in Nigeria.

What do you mean by development

NO I disagree with you.

Abuja is funded mainly by fed. govt.

while
state is mainly funded by state govt.

THERE IS NO DEVELOPED STATE IN NIGERIA!

The health, tax, justice, financial, Law enforcement, Ethics systems e.t.c in Lagos and Abuja are all the same with those found in remote areas of the country.

So don't give Us such Bullshit! A state's not all about its capital!

No state not even the FCT Abuja is developed.

The way I see a developed state looking like is if it had proper infrastructure including roads, trains and bus system, less congestions, suitable pavements, tree sidelined pavements, planned housing and neat electricity distribution and underground sewage system, e.g.

Lagos is developing at an incredible pace with Eko atlantic, while there is the centenary city in Abuja and Enugu with rainbow town in rivers state.

Doesn't states receive allocations from the centre

Abuja is not a State but its a equivalent to a state but I wrote place to tell you no state is up there yet.

I understand your title but I deviated to show there is no answer for the trivia
