Apart from what you said Bros, the data gave a breakdown of the sectors attracting the investments, of which agric and banking featured prominently, followed by Oil & Gas which is represented by Akwa Ibom (I am even surprised at the poor showing of Rivers). In light of these they can't claim to be at the forefront of the inflows into agric in either Oyo or Ogun, not to mention Lagos and Abuja. They can chestbeat for Africa. Lagos and Abuja exploding population have to be fed, common sense dictates that investors would naturally seek for cheaper farmlands in the immediate neighbouring states to service those two centres. Like wise industrialists. Land is cheaper in surrounding states to those centres, smart investors are taking advantage of it. The huge and massive inflow of funds into Abuja and Lagos ,( consider that most Nigerian financial institutions have their headquarters in these two cities, including most) petrochemical coys as well), would mean that the money have to be banked, and not stashed at home, hence Banking dominance.

A good look at Ibadan can tell what Yorubas can achieve without the FG massive funding. Lagos state was the capital of Nigeria from 1967, before then, Lagos City was, and it spread development to all parts of current Lagos state, as people sought for cheaper land spaces for investments on housing, agriculture and industrialization. We are practically witnessing same thing happening to Ogun State now. Just as we are witnessing the Abuja effect on Gwagwalada, Kubwa, Zuba, Dei dei, etc, even as far as Suleja and Kogi state. The FG( initially colonial government, using proceeds from all parts of Southern Nigeria) provided and sustained the process until the process became self sustaining on its own. That's what happened to Lagos. It's only inferiority complex that is making Yorubas not to accept this basic truth.

Igbo mass migration to Lagos only began in the 1920s, many decades after it had become a flourishing city of trade, education and industry, so even in that respect you and your ilk reverse cause and effect - it was the already extant prosperity of the city that drew - and continues to draw - Igbos to it, rather than any particular contributions of theirs setting it apart. As for the idea that SS (not SE) oil money "developed" Lagos, one would have to be ignorant enough to think the place was "undeveloped" until 1970 to swallow such manifest nonsense - but here you and your bandwagon of ignoramuses clearly qualify.
