Why should Lagos be Edo in the first place?

How can a shithole Edo be Lagos? How can a mega city of Lagos status be compared to the substandard Edo state?

You are Igbo slave and that is what you are boy!

Lols how do you think?
Before I reply this message go and check the internet the meaning of a MEGA CITY.
And tell me if nigeria has an MEGA CITY

Just go on google and type list of Mega Cities in Africa.

If Lagos is not included, I will personally apologize to you this moment.

I’m waiting!

Megacities, cities with a population of at least 10 million, are sprouting everywhere in Africa. Cairo in Egypt, Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Lagos in Nigeria are already megacities, while Luanda in Angola, Dar es Salaam in Tanzania and Johannesburg in South Africa will attain the status by 2030, according the United Nations.

Abidjan in Côte d’Ivoire and Nairobi in Kenya will surpass the 10 million threshold by 2040. And by 2050 Ouagadougou in Burkina Faso, Addis Ababa in Ethiopia, Bamako in Mali, Dakar in Senegal and Ibadan and Kano in Nigeria will join the ranks—bringing the total number of megacities in Africa to 14 in about 30 years.

The number of people living in urban areas in Africa will double to more than 1 billion by 2042, according to the World Bank.

The University of Toronto’s Global Cities Institute, which monitors cities’ population growth and socioeconomic development worldwide, forecasts that Lagos will be the largest city in the world by 2100, housing an astonishing 88 million people, up from 21 million currently.

In a 2016 paper titled African Urban Futures, published by the Institute for Security Studies, an African independent research organization that aims to enhance human security on the continent, researchers Julia Bello-Schünemann and Ciara Aucoin wrote: “The current speed of Africa’s urbanisation is unprecedented in history. For some it is the ‘single most important transformation’ that is happening on the continent.” They add that African “cities and towns will increasingly shape the lives of people living on the continent.”

Africa’s demographic transition, caused by the “youth bulge,” an increase in the population of people between 15 and 29 years of age, will continue to fuel a move to the big cities because “young people are generally more prone to migrate to urban areas” than older people, according to Ms. Bello-Schünemann and Ms. Aucoin.

While millions of rural Africans move to cities in search of high-paying jobs and a better quality of life, these burgeoning metropolises also offer strong incentives to investors foreign and domestic.

Power of population

Lagos is a prime example of the economic power in Africa’s megacities. From its technology hub ecosystem—Africa’s largest—to its successful banking sector and prosperous film industry, venture capitalists see many investment opportunities in Nigeria’s commercial capital.

According to a report by the telecom trade body GSM Association, there are 31 tech hubs in Lagos, 29 in Cape Town and 25 in Nairobi. The value of innovative tech spaces to African economies is massive, as investors pump capital into start-ups and hence contribute to countries’ GDPs.

1 billion

will live in cities by 2042
In 2017 outgoing Lagos State Governor Akinwunmi Ambode announced that the state’s GDP had reached $136 billion, about a third of Nigeria’s GDP ($376 billion) and more than the combined GDPs of Ghana ($47 billion) and Tanzania ($52 billion).

Steve Cashin, founder and CEO of the private equity firm Pan African Capital Group, believes that investors are focusing on Africa’s megacities because of market size.

“My firm does a lot of business in Liberia, and one of the main constraints to growing businesses and attracting investment there is the population size and density. When the entire country’s population is just about 4 million, and you’re likely only to reach a small fraction of that, it is harder to make a compelling business case,” says Mr. Cashin.

A single Lagos district can be a market the size of an entire country such as Botswana. Because people in Lagos are concentrated, companies can benefit from lower fixed costs and easier distribution. “The economics are just more attractive,” he adds.

Overstretched infrastructure

But highly populated cities have both positives and negatives. Rapid urbanization strains already overstretched infrastructure and creates complex problems for local governments.....

To me, Lagos is a polluted city and a shit hole. its stinks with open gutters that stinks to the high heavens. There is the problem of Open defecation all around by your street urchin without any shame and messing up everywhere. Then we have the Agberos that are a menace to the society which are untouchable becos they are Tinubus boys.

There is disorderliness everywhere by motorist, both commercial and private drivers, is that what you call a Mega city? .It is a commercial hub for investors and hustlers , that is the right word but not a mega city.
Lagos is what it is becos of the economic opportunities and this is what attract investors .It is not a livable place one can easily move freely without being push aside by cars or bikes.

But that is the only place you have ever been most successful, no other place. Reason you want to die on Lagos matters. You hate and envy it but you have never made success anywhere because you lack business acumen,but in Lagos.
Well,cry me an ocean.

A very sophisticated idea by a bunch sophisticated morons.

Maybe if you guys can stop taking chukudi bus daily from the muddy region to Lagos, probably the population can be reduced and the stress of the limited resources can be lifted to make Lagos cleaner and conducive to live.

Are you in support of the evil ways horrible Indians and Lebanese treat their staff?

No I'm not, but do you know who's fault it is?
It's the yorubas fault.

There are government workers who go from company to company every three months to find out about workers welfare and all that,
Ask yourself do they really check for workers welfare?

They go about collecting tips from each company, asking irrelevant questions and then go home to count the money they've received.

You're to some extent but omit it's Yoruba's fault. Is it only Yoruba people that work in govt agencies?

I know those horrible Asians have undermined our institutions with bribes yet our people have their own fault too. We're too docile. Do know most of those that stood their ground and demand their rights have their ways most of the time?

BAT should be bold enough to show his face as the sponsors of these koronu touts from ogbomosho.

Since he lost out, he has been playing chameleon all around. Buhari will soon catch him and skin.

Afonja traitor.

Those pple entering night buses tonight will buy up your remaining parents' land tomorrow. Don't go and work continue being lazy.

See their mouth like "Yoruba jobs for Yoruba pple.". Are jobs given out of sympathy. You have to be competent enough for it.

Stop hating, learn from the ants, learn from the Igbos.

Skull mining will never make you rich.

seanwilliam:
shut up ..ode.. na your region contribute everything na

I'm not the reason for your sorrow. Kindly state one thing your people contributed towards building Lagos.

Look at words these people are spilling out of their mouths, after they will claim the most educated tribe in Nigeria.

The only reputable industry up there is May and baker Plc which they have two factories in Ikeja Industrial Estate built by Awolowo and in Ota opposite Covenant University.

Are you saying reputable.... Dude these are working industries

Salewa95:
You’re now starting to seems like a comedian. Ogun generates more revenue and attract more industry than all the muddy erosion ravaged 5 SE states.

If you like wail from now till eternity, it doesn’t remove the Yoruba glory and your tears is a source of joy to people like us.

Where are you even from? You seems confused, you claim Edo but you speak like someone from the Erosion ravaged region.

which Ogun... Is it Abeokuta, Ota, Mowe, Sagamu or....

proeast:
There are more industries in Aba alone than the whole of SW bar Lagos the former federal capital and its suburbs which include Agbara and Ota. If you dare me you can go ahead and list the industries in SW and I will name the industries in Aba.

Enough of your propaganda.

Fat lie.

With the recent unrest in the North and East,Yoruba police and soldiers should redeploy to their ancestral home.They should be given priority for jobs in their ancestral home.Let Igbo officers man their space and Hausas do the same.
