So, Your less than 10 rubbish is all it took to develop Lagos? See ya life

Make sure you pass it down to your kids that our industrial estates in Lagos developed Lagos and Nigeria..

Btw, the best and the most sophisticated bridge in west africa is in Lagos and it was not built by your FG, it was build by the people of Lagos state like hundreds if not thousands of projects started and commissioned by the Lagos state government.

In the last 8 years, the Lagos state government started and completed more projects than your FG and the rest of the 35 states combined many times over...

I know you people see the FG as your alfa and omega, you think the FG is responsible for your lives and the air you breath, you beg for road, for bridge, for airport and everything under the sun, you can not do anything by yourself so it makes sense to thong the FG is responsible for other people's hard work.

Sucks to be you people for real..

Am not as foolish as you..
Am not from Niger delta rather am just trying to see if we can chart a way forward for the country.

mashnino:


That is why i am really scared when our batch of nigerians start being governors and president

Some of them will still hold the grudges of today's issues and we might not even move forward...

I just hope something touches them before we get there

Coz we don't tell ourselves the truth..
The day we tell ourselves truths from that day we will live peacefully onward.
Just Imagine a simple thing is bringing many useless comparisms between cities even when they know you are saying the truth..
What does it take to understand that Lagos was developed with Oil wealth as well other states? How many structures did Lord lugard and Mcpherson ever build apart from a few and developing Ikoyi for themselves?

Nice1 there

Maybe immediate past leaders. But people like obasanjo, atiku and tinubu are just trouble

I am not saying they can't be touched but there will be trouble in the land.. New terrorist groups will spring up

The thing is.. Most nigerians understand the plight of niger deltans because even we wey dey outside niger delta no b like say we dey live all cool and rosy

But before you start blaming fed govt.. Let's talk about your past leaders..

We agree that these creeks feed the nation.. But the thing is the creek is also for nigeria.. It's not like nigeria and the creeks are in a symbiotic relationship

Buhari cannot install anyother person than a person from niger delta...

It all boils down to this.... Where is the problem from?

Because the money is being sent down but for some weird reason it's not being implemented

You are correct sir,
I still maintain the fact that what they need in that region is just supervision so the poor masses of that zone will be touched with good governance such that in future they would NOT ever support any miltant group or whatsoever..
I love your point NOT some persons claiming FG didn't develop Lagos and all that which wasn't even the intention of the thread in the first place now that clearly shows how myopic and shallow their minds can be when important issues are brought to the fore.
Imagine such people in govt? They will tell you Lagos developed the Niger Delta and the war will never CEASE!!!

aresa:



You are obviously too young and too empty to articulate or list the so called construction projects.




You know so why is it so hard for you to list the FG government projects.?

All you people do is talk talk talk and spew ignorant garbage, but stating facts is always hard for you to do.





Nigerians have been flocking to Lagos and actually the SW before Nigeria became a country.

Let me educate you just for fun, Federal capital was in Lagos Island and they claimed Lagos well after the industries that powered our economy before Nigeria's independence were and still in the SOUTH WEST starting from Apapa industrial estate to Matori, Ilupeju, Mushin, and Ikeja industrial estate, all in the South West Region established by South West Regional Administration under Awolowo They were not part of your Federal capital, your capital ended at the other end of Carter bridge.

Awolowo industrialized Lagos state.


Your FG government left Lagos decades ago and Lagos is still thriving just like it was before your FG and Nigeria as a country.


.


Yes, the same Lagos you and your people can not wait to run to after dumping your backward and unproductive villages...

Why not form exodus back to your villages....losers..

Am very sure that EVEN you are not from Lagos state.
Take a trip out of lagos and enjoy cool life the only reason some people are in Lagos is just because of the thriving business setting.... Nobody loves Lagos just for the name Lagos..
Lastly people like U make Nigeria unable to grow coz u channel everything from the centre towards ethnicity.

aresa:




FG did not develop Lagos, this is nothing but gross ignorance regarding Lagos and her history.


FG did not do anything in Lagos apart from eko bridge and 3rd mailman bridge and FG presence was confined to just Lagos Island with the seat of government at dodon baracks in Lagos Island.

Saying FG developed Lagos buy building 2 bridges and some FG roads that are dead and never maintained is lunacy.

There are FG bridges all over Nigeria so what's special about some bridge in Lagos?

Lagos was already developed before Nigeria even because a country. The industries that developed Lagos and still responsible for Nigerians industrial output were all on the mainland and built by the Western Region under Awolowo with Cocoa money.

Next time you open mouth to repeat that lie, please make sure you listed exactly how and what the FG did to develop lagos.

Oga take a seat and help your life by telling your unborn generation the truth. FG built all these and more in lagos state
;
Apapa sea Port
National Stadium 1972
MM airport
Countless bridges
Numerous Road networks
National Arts theatre

ayokellany:


I am a billion % sure yocan raise above this parochial reason. The only thing that barred you from reasoning above that flawed reason is the eternal bigotry found in bigots. Have you calculated how much it will cost daily to truck down refined petrol, diseal kerosine, aviation fuel, fertilizers and more all by product of refined crude to the north daily ?. Now calculate how many year the refinary as been built and how many more year it will serve this region. You are also to.calculate the damages trucking fuel from southto the north daily woll cost to the highway then compare this to the cost of aitung tye refinery in the north.

Are you saying it was a way of managing cost that made FG build the Kaduna Refinery? How I wish you will be truthful even to yourself let alone your tribe.
When they were busy building the refinery and laying pipes why didn't they build Groundnut oil processing industry in the East and equally drag that of the West to North and vice versa? Then we would see if they were truly trying to manage COST.
I have seen how best you can reason,Nothing reasonable!!if my tribe is messing up I won't hesitate to point that out than Crave for an easy way.
I earlier pointed out am not supporting ND rather we are suggesting a way forward.

naijaking1:


Before Lagos there was Calabar, the first capital. If government built bridges linking otherwise uninhabited islands to the main land, supplied nepa, landed many historic and important building there, how can you say government didn't develop Lagos?
The criminal irony was that while Gowon government budgeted 75% of their income to reconstruction of war torn east, most of the money landed in Lagos.

Trying to understand what they meant by FG didn't build Lagos and Lagos having telephone 82years ago!! Some people can just be paranoid shaa!!
Thxx bro

FG have done its part by allocating funds, it is the citizens that must make more demand on their leadership.

there has always been OMPADEC before NDDC,

Even if Lagos was built with Oil money, it has paid back the loan in full with interest. How much VAT does FG generate from LAgos and how much of it do they give back to Lagos? How much of Revenue from Port dues, Custom duties, Airport dues and other taxes are generated from Lagos and how much is allocated to Lagos of it. Lagos is not owing Nigeria, rather Nigeria is owing Lagos.

Lagos is the most enlightened state in this country and they demand more from their leaders. When you are sure that your leaders have spent the little they were given judiciously, then you will have the moral right to point accusing fingers at the FG.

Which strict supervision did we witnessed in Akwa Ibom before they developed their state with their allocation or Cross Rivers. IT clearly shows they had and they still have visionary leadership and the citizens are more particular about infrastructural development rather than a temporal handout from politicians, who would have looted billions anyway.

People complain of Federal presence. What exactly does that mean. FG has Secretariat in virtually all states of the federation.

The point I like is that Lagos was built with Oil money,whether it repaid or not isn't the issue....but lagos had FG supervision to Develop it right?
Cross river developed likewise Akwa ibom but have you been to those places or you talking phot journalism? Substantial part of those states aren't developed but kudos to the Governors who did their best ;Akpabio and Duke.
We are saying FG should look into proper supervision of that region, it is not enough to just allocate money to the ministry.

obailala:
Are you suggesting that the FG should take over the leadership of niger delta states?.... Or are you suggesting that the FG should start appointing governors and senators in the ND region?

We are suggesting the way forward for our country.
Am saying strict supervision should be in place and a blue print of development of some years should be clearly laid out for that region so anyone who assumes position of NDDC or whatsoever in that region gets to continue from where his predecessor stopped..

Ruke1989:
what we are saying is the Federal government has no excuse. Arab oil was used to develop the United Arab Emirates. So instead of giving cash to cronies of those in power for onward looting in the name of NDDC without supervising what the money is used for, the government should become more proactive by supervising closely the developments in the creek and there should in fact be a 10 or 25 years development plan just like it is done with FCT

God bless you sir..
Nice points...
FTC can be supervised why not the Goose that lay the GOLDEN EGG?

mrvitalis:

NLNG.. .. Rivers State
Two refineries... Rivers State
Eleme petrochemical... Rivers State
Onne free trade zone..... Rivers State
Were have more facilities?? No place

Bros what you are saying is funny..of course NLNG,ELEME Petrochemicals,ONNE etc are the Niger Delta.
Where else could they have BEEN?
Would they site the COCOA and GROUNDNUT industries in the EAST?
NO ,it has to be at the SOURCE...
These your arguments isn't thinkable.
Realise that Kaduna Refinery was a NONSENSE approach Coz the amount of Money spent laying pipes could have been used for something else..but we are talking GREED here...

SuperS1Panther:
Can we have the cumulative Federal Government Allocated Funds for each of the regions in the last 10years.

We shall all realise Niger Delta states are their own problem.

If you cannot develop your region after 13% derivation, Normal Federal Allocation, Amnesty Programme, NDDC allocation, Min of Niger Delta allocation, CSRs of Oil Majors, probably you need Merlin to develop it for you.

Why was Akwa Ibom able to develop their states but Bayelsa State with lesser population and landmass was not able to?

The answer lies in leadership and mentality of the people.

Enough is enough of all these cheap blackmail and whining. Let us call a spade a spade. Vandals, criminals and terrorists reside in those creeks.

I don't doubt this bro but I still feel there is a cogent need for supervision especially where should be prioritised..that region needs Govt intervention and its not enough to give billions to govt cronies from that region who donot do anything rather I think their development be clearly mapped out in the Fiscal policy of the Fed Govt. I don't think its impossible to do that.
You talk about NDDC when was that created?
Lastly I don't mean to be spiteful but LAGOS was BUILT with OIL MONEY Under STRICT supervision ,why they don't replicate something like in the creeks?...
So far we are mature in this thread...thank you all

Mod's can help Push this to FP. Let's promote peace in Nigeria through Nairaland. This shouldn't be a Zombie or Wailers thing.... Just mature comments or arguments..

This is not a promote ND millitants but to portray the rot in our style of governance at every level.
I have been to the cities of this Nation and to the creeks and have seen that this zone has built cities and made many people billionaires (legitimately and illegitimately) generally it can be said that this zone sustained a Nation.
I think it demands some good level of development (Roads,schools,good housing e.t.c) as this could go a long way in fostering peace between the militants and the Federal Government. FG Fighting these guys wouldn't solve the solution and NIG's idea of dialogue where some people are given loads of cash isn't the solution EITHER! Coz another group will spring up sooner or later..Development is the key to this region.
What's your take?
