It is obvious that don't know much about Lagos. Before the coming of White colonizers Lagos was a colony of Bini empire, so the influx of people stated way back before 1920, the British too Lagos from Binis and stated developing it from 1845 to 1960. The FG continue from the white with oil boom of 1970's till 90's when capital was moved to Abuja. Lagos still receive the highest allocation from ND oil sales.

Lagos was not developed with Niger delta oil.
1910 lagos when most tribes were still running around naked in the bushes
In 1910 Lagos is under colonization and Lagos is a capital of southern Nigeria, the white use money realized from coal in Enugu, Palm oil in eastern Nigeria, Cocoa sw,Rubber and tax to develope lagos from 1850`s when they gain full control of Lagos after forcing the Bini empire to surrender Lagos, the Binis also help to build when it was under their control before the coming of Europeans.

Honestly speaking an independent yorubaland does not need those kind of investments in lagos. We simply need to go back to one factory towns and settlements like it used to be. Manufacturing is for the hinterlands.

Lagos and most of our coastline in Ijebuland,Ilaje and our cousins in Itsekiri land are ripe for tourism.
The reason why it is not feasible right now is the elephant in the room.
That elephant is NIGERIA with her Boko-haram, Islamic fundamentalism, Militants,Kidnappers and the general intolerance for the liberal values of the children of Oduduwa
You don't have a good knowledge of the history of Lagos. Lagos has always been heavily industrialized in the 50s,60s,70s,and 80s before the Igbo's who were coming in droves to take advantage of its prosperity took advantage of the unwillingness of successive Federal Governments to protect our industries which were infants at the time destroyed everything with the importations of cheap , fake, adulterated and substandard goods.

Lagos is what it is today because of the one Nigeria and emergence of deferent ethic group that flood Lagos. this has opened of the economic heavy weight of Lagos and why many companies choose it for it headquarters.

let me tell you something, from the day this so called one Nigeria will end. Lagos is in doomed.

the city will no longer boom as it is today. many investment will be move away from Lagos and other part of the country will closed it border against Lagos.

the sea port activities will be crumbled and the airports must likely closed down or port of it shut down for low economic activity.


little by little it that city with old glory will lost it economic activities and probably crippled to it knees so watched out and be careful.
Don't make me laugh!

Lagos was already a major port b4 Igbos started coming as househelps! Infact a lot of d so called Igbo industrialist came to learn a trade in Lagos!

Now, because u're successful, we no go hear word again?!

Did u knw wen d slave trade started? Most of our ancestors were being sold as slaves via d Lagos port! Go into d archives n u will see Lagos was already an important seaport b4 d Igbo knew about import n export!

If Lagos was nothing b4 u'll came over, why would u av come over in d 1st instance?! Do u guys even reason?! Wetin most of una dey chop sef?

I guess that's why most Ibos end up as successful bizmen! They take nothing at face value! They look u straight in d eye n sell u sometin dey imported at 50naira for 1.5knaira! No conscience, no remorse, no gratitude, just how to get one over u!

We, ibos n yorubas, were driven away frm d north in our thousands, yet d north is still surviving n ruling us at dat! Still, u'll come online n be claiming paper tigers!

My grandpas land dat we were begging pple to come n buy at 10k/acre is now worth 20times that n d family is refusing to sell n u're here making a whole lot of white noise?

Incase u don't realise it yet, Lagos is now a world destination! Ur leaving will reduce competition, dazzol!

This is not London. This is lagos with 24hrs electricity, telephone lines,trams and water all paid for by the tax payers of yorubaland ( most especially the egbas, ijebu,Brazilian returnees and traders from within the yoruba hinterland.

If only time travel exist. Postcard perfect

sorry you are the one whose write-up is absolutely senseless and even your brothers know. Lagos will recieve a huge blow if we revert to regionalism not to talk of the end of nigeria. Lets view it this way If nigeria ends. The suceeding countries will make their laws, develop economic infrastructure like seaports, airports and power supply, develop monetary policy and impose import taxes all in a bid to develop local economy. Biafra for instance will open portharcourt port and onitsha seaport. Open the airport in Enugu and ph and concession them. With that it will be cheaper for businessmen and industralists to establish their base in the new country. Right now lagos is booming b'cos the host country used the resources and political power to favour it at the detriment of other regions and cities, leaving only lagos port running and lagos airport busy, forcing pple in another region to go and invest in lagos. They dont care if it affect the overall development of the country so long as they attend their political objective. All those bank and factories u're mentioning will gradually close dont in event of seperation 'cos no bank sites headquarters in another country, unless u're gonna boast with the empty building. Pls dont pretend u dont know wats keeping lagos. Op said the truth.
Are you kidding me? Are you saying south-west will no longer have banks? Or the factories will stop manufacturing goods? Assuming your sister that has been helping your family in house chores such as cooking, washing and sweeping is being giving out marriage. Does that mean your family will now move out of the house because nobody will do the chores again? Or you want to tell me there won't be anybody that will take over from your sister? Biko, recieve sense

If I'm untrained, I think you are the most un exposed, I don't think a learned human being should create this type of topic. I perfectly understand your topic which is all hatred.
