I doubt they do. If you are honest with yourself, you will know that Igbos own a lot of properties and businesses in Lagos

Every tribe owns properties in Lagos.The question is why do Igbos hate Lagos and also have longthroat for it?

Ebonyi which is one of the states with the least allocation has done much better than Lagos with so much money at its disposal. Lagos is a disappoint, most countries in Africa don't get half of Lagos revenue and they have better infrastructure.
Now somebody will want us to believe that Tinubu was the best governor in Nigeria during his time forgetting that he never achieved a quarter of what Jakande did in one term in Lagos.
I am not impressed angry
It amazes me when nonentity like you begin to make comparison without putting other things in consideration. Ebonyi with a population of less than 2.5m people. The Abakaliki, capital , I visited just 3 days ago, the whole activities going on there are less than what we do witness at palmgroove in Lagos State.
Most of use comment, without making use of your brains

Most parts ( > 80%) is a terrible hellhole.
Even the posh areas on the island are eyesores that don’t nearly compare to a lower middle class area of the places where the looters leaders of Lagos schooled abroad.

Have you ever thought to think that the major reason Lagos' infrastructure is creaking and dehabilitated is because its population has grown faster than any city in the world save for Mumbai. Next, you would have asked why this is so. That might have led you away from a polar argument and led you into a better meta narrative.

Anyone can describe things but very few can understand the "why"

Once you start an argument based on sentiment, the path goes downwards

Too below sef. Nigerians are not used to good governance and development.

No state in Nigeria has electricity 24/7, the health care system is bad, housing is bad, the environment is bad, no water, security is poor, education is poor, the list can go on. The only reason many people praise lagos is becus the country Lagos is in don die grin

Why did the IGR grow from a few millions in 1999 to multi billions now?
Is it “because its population has grown faster than any city in the world save for Mumbai.”

If there are 20 slums and ghettos in Lagos as obviously there are, just Know that your state would definitely have more. Not that I'm Yoruba or whatever, to be supporting Lasgidi , I'm just a standardt guy that speaks the standardt truth from a rational point. I no evn dey Lag now, but I miss Lag already.

First, that's not a true picture of the real Lagos. Lagos Island that many people celebrate occupy less than 20% of Lagosians. What happen to 80% living at the popular side where there is no good infrastructure.

Second, if you take away FG investment and infrastructure built when Lagos was Capital of Ng and also remove Jakande's work, you will discover Tinubu and his boys have not added much.

Propaganda... These pictures aren't reflective of the true state of Lagos. Lagos has become the dirtiest and most polluted state in Nigeria.
All these roads are always dirty and traffic-ridden.

Why don't you show pictures of agberos and danfo drivers fighting on the road or keke napap with bumper guards scratching cars on the daily... Show us the drainages blocked with dirt with no LAWMA staff clearing them for months... Flooding nko?

Show us Ikotun, Iyana Ipaja, Ikeja Along, Agege, Mushin, etc. They represent 80% of the real Lagos!

I totally agree with you. From today I will never believe any picture of other states poster here, if he can say this about Lagos at this time.

90% of lagos infrastructure was executed before this republic, ie before 1999.

Most were in the 70's & 80'smilitary era.

Dont overhype the post 99 govt, their job is to maintain these infrastructures, show us their updated masterplan, and execute theirs.
