Lagos is massively shitty, even for all the advantages it was given.

20 years of the apc in Lagos, billions and billions of dollars wasted , and what we have is a shitthole.

If apc had controlled Nigeria since 1999, with a kleptomaniac like tinubu in charge, the small gains we have as Nigerians today would have been non existent.
Look at the economy in just 3.5 years of the apc.

The Gwari people of Abuja are lucky they didn't have a tinubu.

All these flatheaded yeebhoe miscreants never cease to show their hate and inferiority complex,every time yoruba this yoruba that abi na yoruba send una message? Lagos is a shythole but your people will die to leave their villages just to come sell gala in obodo lagos cos obviously coming to Lagos is a lifetime achievement for most of you.


Lets forget ur primodal attachment to tribe as espoused here but still u may need to consult d records and will discover d lagos u r proud to call yoruba as it is truly, even tho once a vassal state under the Benin kingdom, is mostly developed by non-yoruba's.

The factories and real estate r mostly developed and owned by d ibos.

If nothing ameachi may have opened ur eyes to d fact that lagos for the past 20 years has only remained stagnant while tinubu n pals pilfer as much of the state resources as possible.

Perhaps like nigeria needs PDP even right now now so also lagos needs PDP.

Tinubu to begin with is from osun n so are most of the people helping him to abrogate the resources of lagos State.

Pls remove the cloak from ur eye's and brain n demand change in lagos, the place is actually a glorified slum.

Ibadan is even more developed than all the Igboland joined together talkless of super Lagos which is the 5th economy in Africa.
Leave our beloved Lagos.It is the former capital but Yorubas built it to what it is with some help from non indigenes.
Go and read about the real developers of Lagos,they are 90℅ Yorubas
Igbos that could not build their tiny Igboland will now be able to build Lagos? Your head is totally bent and you are delusional.
The fact is a lot of you and even your leaders are jealous of Lagos but as I told you initially even without oil,the SW had always been the most progressive and most developed.
Ibadan which has very few Igbos or non Yorubas is still more developed than any of your states especially the 5 Igbo states joined..

It is a fact that there are no roads.
Lagos is the smallest state in the country and people have built houses on Most of the land.
The soluttion no is not roads but a Metro service there is literally no space to put new roads in Metropolitan Lagos

I disagree wit u and for d records if d federal govt will allow d ports in d south-south work to decongest lagos most of the people and traffic will fizzle out like magic.

Ludicrous govt policy n poorly thought plans is d bane of Nigeria

Brizzy404:
PREMIUM TIMES has obtained the third in a series of leaked audio recordings by Rotimi Amaechi, Nigeria’s transport minister and the director general of President Mohammadu Buhari’s campaign team.

Mr Amaechi has been in the eye of a storm in the last 48 hours following the release of two earlier audio recordings where he expressed gloomy views about Nigeria and the administration of Mr Buhari.

In one of the recordings, which was shared with this newspaper by Phrank Shaibu, a spokesperson for the Atiku Abubakar campaign, the minister was heard saying the president has failed to meet the expectations of Nigerians and that there was widespread suffering in the land.

Tolu Ogunlesi, a spokesperson of Mr Buhari, had dismissed the first leaked recording, saying Mr Amaechi was referring to immediate past president, Goodluck Jonathan.

But after the release of the second audio, Mr Ogunlesi claimed the audio had been cleverly edited by a former aide of Mr Jonathan, Reno Omokri, to paint the minister and the current government in bad light.

However, on Monday evening, PREMIUM TIMES obtained another audio recording where the minister was heard badmouthing Lagos, the country’s commercial centre.

He described the nation’s former capital as a “glorified village”.
The minister said the city lacked basic infrastructure compared to Abuja, the country’s capital.
He added that the city has poor road network, no running water, and is infamous for vehicular traffic congestion.

“I live in Abuja, tell me where else we have infrastructure. Lagos is a glorified village. The only difference between Lagos and other cities is the fact that business is in Lagos, everybody is there doing business, so you can at least have food,” he said.
“If not tell me what else you have in Lagos? 1,000 plus megawatts. That’s all. That’s what you have. What else do you have? No water, there are no roads. When you hear traffic jams in Lagos or any part of Nigeria, where are there no traffic jams in Abuja? The reason why you meet traffic jams in Lagos is because there are no roads,” the former governor of Rivers State added.
Since 1999, when Nigeria returned to democratic rule, Lagos State has been exclusively governed by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) or parties, which formed the merger that birthed the APC.

Mr Amaechi’s comment is even made more ironical given the announcement earlier today by Mr Buhari’s announcement that a former governor of Lagos is in charge of his re-election campaign. Bola Tinubu is commonly seen as the man who decides whatever happens in Lagos.
Mr Tinubu is to supervise Mr Amaechi as he co-chairs the campaign organisation with Mr. Buhari.

Lagos have always been a shiiit hole

Went there as a Bini boy last year. In fact it was the day that tanker explosion happened
And i must tell you Lagos is overrated

When i entered Abuja same last year November because i wanted an instant passport because there was no booklet in Edo state that was when i knew the difference between Abuja and Lagos

It was even more obvious to me that Edo was actually bigger than Lagos. It took like forever to leave Edo land when you are going to Abuja. All those Edo north was like forever. So Lagos is just one small shiiit hole place that is overcrowded

Abuja is too good to be compared with that shiiit hole called lagos

U don go island ?

Get your PVC Nigerians and lets VOTE out APC. A Party full of lies, blame game, insecurity, shedding of innocent blood, poverty and jeopardizing the future of Nigeria and our unborn children.
We all know its only ATIKU/OBI (PDP) that can stand this corrupt APC that are willing to rig this 2019 election.

Lets VOTE ATIKU/OBI.
VOTE PDP.

Lets get Nigeria working.

Anybody can say anything and claim anything like I can say I singlehandedly developed America...will your mumu self believe it?
Igbos or whoever have not been able to develop all their states joined together up to Ibadan city in the SW but can develop Lagos?
