Are these people telling us Lagos is only 3 times the population, Vehicles and Industrial Capacity of Abuja?

Emekamex:
So SW is plagued with erosion sef.

lol... mumu
That bridge is obviously on top of a stream/river and has collapsed due to shoddy workmanship during construction.

donbenedict:
Languages cannot go into extinction!

Who told you that?
Several languages and cultures in nigeria are on the brink of extinction

With the alarming rate at which Nigerians are losing their traditional values and Languages in favour of western ideals, creolization/pidginization and the English Language, which cultures/languages in Nigeria would be the first to be gone with the wind of change AKA Western acculturalization.

Who is he again?
Every Shola Emeka and Ahmed has turned celebrity in Nigeria, I swear.

chai... yorubas and igbos can fight over Anything!

waoo onirisa rocking on every side one of the richest king in yoruba land.

Amberon11:
This is not surprising. reasons below.

1: Lagos is the former capital of Nigeria.

That status has been lost since 1991. That is like a quarter of a century ago, and since the 1980's when the construction of Abuja officially began, Lagos has suffered massive neglect and infrastructure has been left to decay, causing extensive strains on environmental and social infrastructures.

2: Huge population because it is the economic and commercial capital.

Economic/commercial same naani......but rural-Urban migration is a basic fact of 21st century planet earth.... By 2020, more than 70% of nigerians will be living in Urban areas. Most other States/urban areas of the country are doing very little to attract this drift of population flow towards their side. How many of them even have Business and Investment forums to tap into the international community of investors? Most of them are waiting for the FG to come and do everything..... It shouldn't be like that.

3. Lagos has all of the functional seaports in Nigeria. (The Onne-Rivers port and Warri port are only used for oil-related shipments). Every non-oil shipments come in through Lagos eg cars, trucks, keke-napeps etc

Add to that Cotonou, lome and Tema sea ports. More than 70% of all products shipped to Cotonou for example, finds its way into Nigeria either directly or indirectly through smuggling. And this is because even the Tin Can and Apapa ports are suffering neglect and they lack the Size. If even Lagos ports can be neglected by FG ,what state do you honestly think other national ports are going to be in...

4: They treat Lagos as if its the only state in Nigeria, basically everything is sited there causing migration.

Who is the "They" .... because if you mean the Federal Government, you are getting it all wrong, and infact, Lagos and the West are being massively shortchanged by Nigeria, considering their importance and the value of what they give out.
The majority of investments and other benefits Lagos is enjoying today is majorly private driven through the very efforts put into "capitalizing Lagos" by the Lagos state government to make sure than a conducive environment for investment is obtained and maintained.

This is for those trying to justify the fact that during the height of fuel scarcity recently, 160 fuel tankers (80%) were allotted to 3 geo Political zones of the the North, while just 40 (20%) was reserved for the SW including Lagos.... Now you all see why the injustice of Northern nepotism and injustice in nigeria must stop.

160 Fuel Tankers Allocated To The North, 40 To The South-West

The Acting Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) revealed that their data shows that one quarter of the total number of cars in Nigeria are found in Lagos.

The official, Michael Olapade, revealed this during an official visit along with a team of other FRSC officials at the Lagos State House of Assembly. He further stressed that the number of deaths recorded daily on highways through road accidents was far more than the number of deaths from the dreaded Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, AIDS.

“The number of these units are not enough to complement the efforts of other traffic agencies like LASTMA and VIO,” he said.
Olapade, who recalled the death of Minister of State for Labour and Employment, James Ocholi, his wife and son following an auto crash along Abuja-Kaduna road, noted: “the lives of our youth are being lost on daily basis. “Many people talk of AIDS as most deadly, FRSC do not believe this when you talk of number deaths, road accidents are higher.” “We want to partner with all the people that are important to the people so that we will save lives for Nigeria to be better.”

He said the collaboration of the FRSC with agencies of the state government had helped to increase the revenue of the state generated from defaulting motorists. While appealing for more support from the House, Olapade stated that the number of units and equipment for the organisation are inadequate. He pointed out that the institution in Lagos has 15 units and one sector command. In his reaction, the Speaker said the House appreciates the good job so far carried out by the men of the FRSC.He however urged for efforts to curtail the activities of bad eggs in the organisation who extort money from motorists.

“You should monitor the activities of your men, there are roads that can’t be categorized as either federal or state road some of your men do go to extort money from motorists,” Obasa said urging the institution to intensify efforts on enlightenment and campaigns against road accidents.

So what part of all her write up says the beef is over....? This vindictive lady actually worsened issues.... Let's even assume he "begged" you....just for assumption sake, You just went to that your evil blog to spill the whole issue there again.... to what end, if not pure evil?
And everything she just said up there might be LIES..... I wouldn't put such a thing past that thing called linda.

hemartins:
I used to think kings/obas don't travel. People Visit them to pay homage but now, everything is different.

That's why I will always respect the Oba Of Benin.

Oba of Benin na Palace slave be that o....
Lmao! ... Have you ever heard of any other place where kings don't travel? lool

This state is gradually falling apart....
Fee Dee Fee!! ...... Fower to Za Fifu!!!

TheSociopath:
When we have a bastard governor who is very insensitive to the plight of his people nkor? Mimiko has looted us dry, there's nothing left for him anymore. Even if he wants to be a senator or the president, we will double cross him. You need to be in Ondo to see the suffering. He just created a third state university in his home town and erected structures worth billions of ₦ while staff salaries are not being paid and no credible project has been carried in the last 2 too 3 years. May it not be well with Mimiko and his goons. The bastard froom Ondo Town

loool..... third state uni in Ondo town?

Ariani:
Lol, why are you sure that Ebonyi generated less this year? Let me guess, because you are a typical Yoruba man, an enemy of Igbo progress and only wish us retrogression?

Abia generated 12billion in 2014, but generated 14billion this year, Anambra generated 10billion in 2014 but generated 13billion this time around.

With decrease in federal government allocation, states are becoming more aggressive in generating IGR, I don't expect Ebonyi to be any different, I expect them to follow the Anambra and Abia template,why? Because I am not a Yoruba man, I am an Igbo man, and always wish and hope for the best for Igbo states, which is why Imo current condition pains me alot.

Imo and Enugu posted decreases for 2015 along with The MAJORITY of the rest of the country.
So saying the Ebonyi figures for this year will in the most likely scenario be lower is not out of place.

I am doing simple Statistical deductions here, while you are busy seeing yoruba and igbo.....

Ariani:
No, SW if we subtract Lagos will be below SE
Remember that Ebonyi is yet to present her own figures, and from 2014 report, Ebonyi generated 11.09bn in 2014o going by that, Ebonyi figures when added to the SE current 62billion mark, will exceed the 71billion of SW, and that will be good enough for SE to topple SW sans Lagos.
https://www.nairaland.com/2732630/latest-ranking-states-financial-sustainability#down

What you are adding (figures for Ebonyi), is already inside that 62 Billion figure.
Even though I am sure what Ebonyi generated this year will be much less less than last year.

Junior66:
Na wa for you o. Did u forget the figures you posted are for year 2015?
How can the figures for Borno be for recovery growth when Boko haram attacks got worse during the same period year 2015?
Attacks were so much during the first quarter of the year dat elections were postponed.

Well, you are right.
I no know how borno state take do am sha.

asorocker:
if you remove all lagos components , for instance the revenue going to ogun because of its proximity to Lagosor better still compare 4 south west states to 4 south east states and the result will be clearer.

Ogun state is growing as a result of the proximity to lagos and not because of any fantastic governor or entrepreneurial spirit or any natural or people resource

And there is no revenue flow from Oil rich South South States into the SE?

Acidosis:
Those mentioning Fayose are obviously of the APC. These people refuse to think for a second. Is it not shameful that inspite the large sums from Oyo state, Osun state, we barely hear any positive things from these states?

I'm very sure 90% of posters here do not even know the name of Oyo state Governor. Aside his sexy daughters abroad who gives him fair recognition, many do not know he exists, yet he receives one of the largest IGRs in the South West.

Funny thing is, the same Ajimobi or whatever he calls himself is one of those Governors demanding for Trillions from MTN. What has he, or what is he doing with the monies he gets in form of IGR and allocation?

Aside Ibadan, do we really know any other town in Oyo state? Has Ibadan recorded any transformation since the past 5 years?

Why is it that some South Westerners hate Fayose? Must everyone be on the side of Tinubu, a renowned criminal?

In Oyo state people know Ibadan and Ogbomosho.

Aside Port Harcourt do you really know any other town in Rivers state?
Aside Enugu, do you know any other place in Enugu state?
get real pls.....

He try ....
Seriously though, why is the South East full of RED MUD everywhere?

Bayelsa gradually falling apart ....

TheArchangel:
What's Borneo doing right?? I mean with BH and shits, they have +21.80% increase. Quite incredible and applaudable.
A nice place being rubbished by sociopaths, psychopaths and their mothers/fathers.

That is recovery growth you are seeing in Borno.
Since the activities of boko Haram has dropped significantly from late last year, into this year.
