And who is the looser?

bigfish3k:
Nigeria is the looser because since then we have been importing fuel

And what did the son of the land GEJ did when he was in power to better the life of his people and region..

bigfish3k:
he was busy busy being nationalistic which is good and also what u people are preaching

its not good for a part the country to be developed only when it produces a president, if that is so then we are not a good country,
power should then be devolved

bigfish3k:
if river niger was in the north
would it not have been dredged for ships to come in?

I told u state govts don't have the powers to build sea ports under the law

its even too capital intensive
is it fashola that built the one in lagos?
I told u imo airport was built to international standard by the contributions of the locals , but the FG refuse refuse to approve it saying it should only remain local airport

remember that international embassies in lagos attracts population and investment too. lagos just have the advantage because it has been a federal capital before. so stop using achievements in lagos as a yardstick for other states. lagos was built by federal and state govts
katsina intl air port was built by the FG even though the state is younger than imo state which money was contributed by the locals to build or do u think this does not matter?

apart from lagos and ogun , that had the influence of the FG for their development tell me other yoruba states doing well (lagos was a former capital and ogun state is drawing from that proximity)

To start with Jona spent N34 billion (Plus corruption and embezzlement of course) dredging that river and he refurbished Onitsha port. Please do your research.


Saying states don't and can not building seaports means you know nothing about your own country.

Lagos state is building 2 seaports and corrupt and crooked akpabio tried to build ibaka seaport, but he stole all the funds he budgeted for the project.

If you are interested in or trying to build a seaport, approach the FG with your plans for approval, secure funds and investors and you are good to go, that's what they did in Lagos state, your states can do it too.

Lagos is trying to build a state airport in Lagos like other states are doing and have done, but you are here making excuses and spewing half truths, even making excuses for your own visionless and incompetent governors.

So, your hopes and future depend on the generosity of the FG?

They lack FG presence and infrastructures in many many states in Nigeria, but they are not complaining or making excuses, they are forging on, they are growing their economy, building seaports, airports, roads and bridges and so on, even their IGRs are larger than your own so who's at fault here? Your own governors obviously because everything you're lamenting over here, other states are doing it or have done it so stop making excuses.

Atleast he should be a able to point to something he did for his people..

Iamzik:
But you all claim that you developed Lagos and Abuja na. Why are you now saying its the federal government that developed Lagos and Abuja? You lots are very confused

bigfish3k:
yes it depends on the FG. who should build Onitsha bridge, is it delta or anambra: that why its called a federal project

jonathan refurbished Onitsha port, am not seeing any physical activity there, that means he didn't do it well, that also means it should not be left like that because the previous administration didn't do it well. it is for the economic well being of the south east, this can help help douse agitations

they should build one state in the south east for us, give us embassies or consular offices where we wouldn't always be going to lagos before going abroad (Europe and America) this massive movements generates revenue for lagos too. these are some of the reasons lagos has large IGR

Ekinematics:
These yorubas will soon meet their waterloo.

bigfish3k:
the dreaded armed robber (oyenusi) was a Yoruba man

its still part of the problem created by the FG as listed earlier that's why we are scattered in all parts of the world seeking survival by all means because we cant be compressed in an undeveloped south east, man must seek survival anyhow since the Yoruba and hausa led FG has made the legal means very impossible for us

we have always been ur direction in supporting u people: we igbos helped in voting in abiola, helped in voting in obasanjo, yar dua , shagari, and there has never been any reciprocal on ur part. when its time to pay us back u people always backslide as can be seen during jonathan
contradiction is when ur people always say they are not holding us back and their actions and write ups are the opposite.

bigfish3k:
I know he put one university in his village, the rest he was just been nationalistic

does this even mean that anybody that enters should face his region?
or give goodies according to votes ie 5%? thats a bad precedence being left by buhari
and I bet if this kind of character continues, the end wouldn't be good for the country

bigfish3k:
what I mean was the infrastructures that attracted our people, the FG couldn't have come to develop trade fair and give it the value it has today

building bridges and co without the corresponding population to use it will amount to decay as seen with abandoned FG properties in lagos
the FG built the infrastructures(ie good roads and bridges), my people came used them to build private entrepreneurship(businesses, estates and building) that attracted more population and hence development

so I still lay that claim that we developed lagos through our middle level man power enterprises

bigfish3k:
Abuja started picking up when igbos moved in

try and find out

bigfish3k:
yes naa. we developed lagos, our oil money was used also by the FG and our side was neglected, this was the initial attraction of my people to lagos
we turned swampy and neglected areas into towns and shops before u could say 'jack robinson' the hitherto neglected area (two local govts in such areas have started dragging ownership because of its revenue) and this was how we helped in developing lagos with our population and middle level man power we exhibit hence the big IGR of lagos which u people are using to make mouth now
ask the landlords
