You've long been notorious on these forums for your extreme ethnocentrism and runaway inferiority complex, and usually I wouldn't bother to even read - let alone respond - to the hate-inflected drivel you're prone to spitting out, but this time I'll make an exception: the Lagos you spend so much time obsessing over was already by far the wealthiest part of the country before Nigeria even existed as a single country, which in turn was well before the British and their accompanying missionaries had made significant inroads into your part of the south-east.

All this self-congratulatory rubbish you've written here cannot gainsay the fact that Lagos was by the 1880s so valuable to the British that it was to protect its trade with the south-western interior that they even bothered to create a colony of "Southern Nigeria" in the first place. 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.

The notion that funds from the much poorer northern and south-eastern parts of Nigeria ever played a meaningful role in "developing" a place which had always been worth more than the rest of the country is rubbish from start to finish, cooked up in the ignorant brains of people whose inferiority complexes cannot allow them to absorb indisputable facts that are trivial to confirm with a simple Google search or two. Or you might even consult a professional history of Nigeria or two, such as the ones by Richard Bourne or Toyin Falola; but who am I kidding? The desire to seek out objective knowledge is totally foreign to the likes of tribal chest-beaters like you, who would rather believe and propagate nonsensical lies that happen to bolster their fragile sense of self-worth.

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.

yet you people are using every means possible to keep the eastern ports dead. Dont worry, things will change soon and people like you will suddenly disappear.If only the idiotic and clueless Goodluck Jonathan spent his time collaborating with leaders from the SE and SS to revive the eastern ports and build new ones like the planned Ibaka seaport, you wouldnt be here typing this "drivel"......The average yorubaman is way below the igboman economically and educationally.But you are far better than the igbo when it comes to propaganda and politics which your people have used for years to portray the yoruba as something they are clearly not.i will admit it. The yoruba are more advanced politically and have used it efficiently over the years to get whatever they want while the igbos are busy attending to their businesses and making money(which has been their bane politically)
The fact that 60-70% of imports at apapa are headed towards the south east/south south says a lot.

Please come it down a little. You can always embed some pidgin into your sentences to burnish it to his liking.

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.


The huge and massive inflow of funds into Abuja and Lagos as FCT would mean that the money have to be banked, and not stashed at home, hence Banking dominance.

Abeg who fone help?

DUNCE.

ODVanguard:
Let us hope the country is restructured along regional lines that way every region will have its own FCT (since according to you FCT status is responsible for the significant inflows). Hopefully then you people will finally quit blaming Yoruba people for all your problems.

The state of Abuja today, would continue to rubbish whatever trash you lots make up to feel better about Lagos.

Lagos did benefit and continues to benefit from the pains of the entire real Southern region of Nigeria.
Started since 1906, and never stopped till today.

Lagos was no better than Lome, without Nigeria.

Olodo Lagos city no be Lagos.

What happened to the educated ibos on nl?

pazienza:
Onukwu, without Lagos city, their wouldn't be Lagos.

Think of Abuja and the surrounding towns like Gwagwalada, Kubwa, Zuba , etc, that are currently expanding and growing using Abuja as a conduit.

Thetruthsayer10:
but Lagos only became a state in 1967 before then it was Lagos city as the capital of Nigeria not all what made Lagos state today like Ikeja and Agege which were under the western Region

kn23h:
Sigh can't be bothered to waste time educating an illiterate.

pazienza:
I doubt you are more educated than I. But this is a faceless forum, so anyone can claim anything.

pazienza:
What's the difference.
Lagos city spread development to those places, just as its currently doing to Ogun.


Abuja is doing same to Niger (Suleja) and even Kogi

kn23h:
Just look at this reply. This is a response you get from a typical ibo on nl. Low IQs everywhere.

oPPOSEE:
LOL.
Yoruba man is still my landlord.

Thetruthsayer10:
the difference is Lagos is one city in Lagos state. Lagos state was not a capital of Nigeria only Lagos city was. The other city That makes current Lagos state were under the western region before its creation in 1967 and they were quite develop like Ikeja.

Cooly100:
The Minister of Finance, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun, said the huge amount, which the Federal Government was spending on infrastructure projects across the country was attracting fresh investments into the country.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Can this lying APC government state the projects in the eastern region?

Is it any surprise that the investment destination tallies with the regions with highest FG investment...?

Useless country...

"..Anyone who thinks Nigeria can stick together is either a fool or an enemy of the country..." Falae

If they government is serious, it should give each region, at least 1$ billion for infrastural development. Let the regions choose the areas most needed and it has more advantage on. The hopeless and clueless FG should not continue to choose where to invest...which has been the north and SW for the past 50 years.
