Cross-River state government can make the Calabar port operational if they want to...

Onne port is working so if they want other goods to be allowed they should protest and hold the Rivers state government accountable.

Port harcourt port the 2nd port in Rivers state can also be made operational especially since Rivers state is an oil producing state.

Warri port can also be operational since Delta state is also an oil producing state and can afford to do it..

but you guys don't want to hold your state goverments accountable because you guys can easily relocate to the SW instead of putting pressure on your state governor and senators..

you non-Yorubas are in the SW due to Yoruba buying and spending power and not because of the lies called favoritism.. there is nothing forcing non-Yorubas to stay in Lagos except an imaginary lie that Lagos state is favored...

Seaport are under exclusive list. State government has no power on it.

like I told Gerard59

No need to push for dis-integration of Nigeria... Once non-Yorubas realizes and makes peace with the fact that they are not getting jobs because they are non-Yorubas then they will automatically leave..

should the bolded be implemented then Lagos will be more than what it is today...

you don't realize that people people leaving their states to move to Lagos is actually brain-drain within Nigeria and it keeps those states under-developed because the people that are meant to call out those governors have moved to Lagos and are instead calling out Lagos government...

states like Delta, Rivers, Edo, Akwa-ibom, Bayelsa, Cross-River e.t.c should be much more developed than Lagos state but their people have moved to Lagos..

There is no tribalism in Nigeria..

most Nigerians especially southern Nigerians shout "tribalism" because they are not living in their ethnic region and want to manipulate the system of the region they are living in to favour them.

SE and SS have 4 seaports which is more than anywhere in Nigeria..

There's a seaport in Rivers state called "port harcourt".
There are also:
Calabar port
Onne port
Warri port..
the only thing Lagos and the SW has over other regions is the spending power which means the buyers and consumers of most products in Nigeria is the SW..
A business person whose market is the SW will not import from the ports in the SE/SS regions then transport the goods to the SW to sell because that is waste of funds and will destroy the business before it starts..
you have never started or owned a business in your life so you don't understand how businesses work and make profits

Your first paragraph amaze me

Are you going to tell the private sector especially companies and multinational companies owned by non Yorubas and foreigner who and whom not to employ ?

Not everyone working in lagos is doing white collar jobs. Most have their own enterprise and business. So you first paragraph is Dead on Arrival. It won't work.

Have you told you that all the Airport and Seaport in Nigeria are not equal. Lagos ports monopolize import and export.

They are certain good you can't import from sea ports In SS. Goods like Electrical, automobile, food, medicine, pahrmacutical, auto parts etc. You only import it through Lagos Seaport before of FG policies on seaport which give lagos state edge over other states. The same applies with airport.

You can't receive international flights from UK, America, Europe , China to Enugu, owerri, ph airport etc. It is only lagos and Abuja has the capacity to receive international flight. That the reason lagos and Abuja attract most of foreign investors. Why because of Seaport and Airport monopoly gave to them by FG.

So, if you want to decongest lagos, is very simple. FG should decentralized all the Seaport and Airport so that people in other regions can import and export goods in their coastal cities and also travel abroad without coming to lagos and Abuja.

codemaniacs:
Lagos is Yoruba nation's smallest state with the biggest economy...

Lagos does not need to build up..

Let non-Yoruba people move their businesses to their own states and stop leveraging and living off Yoruba peoples money and then Lagos will be decongested...

People hustle and make money for themselves in lagos and you call it Yoruba people money ?

Which money exactly ? From where ? Do you feed anyone in lagos ? Do you pay their bills ? So why calling it Yoruba people money abi thief dey your eye ?

Lagos was the capital for almost 7 decades. FG developed lagos alongside with oil money gotten from Niger Delta and enterprising spirit of Nigerians doing business and paying their tax to the lagos state government.

If you are tired of seeing non-yoruba in lagos. Then tell tinubu your brother to divide Nigeria so that everyone will answer their Father name.

Or better still, Tell tinubu to decentralized the Seaport and Airport monopoly that lagos have so that importer can import and export goods in ph, warri, Calabar, Uyo seaport without coming to lagos. Tell tinubu to make all the Seaport in Nigeria equal. Lagos is not the only Coastal city in Nigeria.

Tell tinubu to decentralized the airport monopoly that lagos and Abuja have so that other states can receive international flights. So that I can travel to America or UK without going to Lagos or Abuja.

If tinubu do these things I mentioned. Millions of people will leave Lagos.

But if you don't want to see any non Yoruba at all in lagos. Then push for division of Nigeria. Because you can't be telling non Yoruba to leave lagos when Nigeria is still a One. Nobody will listen to you because you can't eat your cake and have it.

CSTRR:
Northerners dey hear am.

If there's any region that should agitate for the removal of the APC, it's the north.

They have suffered.

Tribalism and religion won't allow them.

Tinubu and Atiku will play the tribal and religious card again for them in 2027. They have swear never to vote for any candidate from the South East.

Konjiboii:
They may still come and argue with you, I think most of them haven’t traveled out of Lagos so they feel it’s heaven, the only reason people are in Lagos is because money is in rotation. Aside that, nothing else.

Seaport and Airport monopoly lagos have is the reason people are trooping there.

AlphaTaikun:
Is Oshodi-Apapa Expressway [Berger to Mile 2 Axis] a STREET?

Attention to little details is important when writing articles.

Lagos State has the smallest landmass in Nigeria right behind Anambra State.

The influx of all kinds of economic migrants from different States of Nigeria and the West African region has put a lot of pressure on the infrastructure and facilities in specific areas of Lagos State such as the low-income zones despite the efforts of past and current Governors in Lagos State to demolish and gentrify several locations. The former Babatunde Raji-Fasola transformed, the Oshodi axis with green plants everywhere and traders evicted BUT the place deteriorated again. Therefore it's CLEAR that the facilities management team of Lagos State has to be revved up by the current Government of Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu alongside his Commissioner for Environment and ensure that stiffer penalties of jail terms or strict community service as punishments are meted out to those who violate environmental laws OR stripping off for resale the beautiful wire-fences used to demarcate roads.

A decentralized Nigeria through the constitutional amendment would also see most of these low-income economic migrants return to their home States instead of running to Lagos State, the FCT suburbs and outskirts, Port Harcourt, etc.

Biogas toilets or bio-degradable public toilets MUST be rolled out in large numbers through a PPP program. These kinds of toilets can provide biogas for cooking or lighting up the nearby environment.

Even in some areas in London and parts of England, there have been complaints of public facilities and infrastructure running down. This is what you get in cosmopolitan environments.

Until you decentralized the seaport airport monopoly lagos have. Nothing will change.

These two economic infrastructure are what give lagos state edge over other states. Decentralized them, other will go back to their state.

raskymonojendor:
This eye of Lagos is propaganda blogging site. They are always reporting unserious news about the SW.

Just look at the quality of the report..

Is lagos not a dirty state. Continue renaming street while lagos continue to get more dirty.

In summary. Lagos is a dirty state.

If you count yourself out of your familys heritage, na you do yourself. Own the event and stop acting like you are not "originals". You come to a family meeting and you are asking where will I sit"? Grab a seat and sit down, my friend!
I don't ask for my share to be given to me at any family gatherings, once it is my turn, I "Grab and run" with it..

Any igbo clan that acts like second class citizens in an igbo gathering, should blame themselves.

To start with, igbo gatherings are not for the weak. Anambra people will be walking around with all sorts of bragadaccio, Imo people will be fronting and scheming, Enugu will be plotting too. If you come from say Delta, Edo or Rivers states, and you are acting like some wet chickens in such environments, don't blame anybody if you're overlooked.

No one is treating you badly. You did that to yourself . Own the place!

It is inferior complex that is killing them.

They made themselves outcast before their brother because of politics.

The day Nigeria will divide, Only God knows what will be the Fate of those igbo denial speaking people in Rivers and Delta. It will be the case of being in between the devil and the blue sea.

It won't be easy for them. Let them continue their denial. I hope it won't be too late for them.

thesicilian:
I'm waiting for obidients to tell us how their messiah is different

Yes, Peter Obi is different.

Orji uzor Kalu should stop projecting himself on othes. Every body is not a looter like him.

fergie001:
Please this is enough Sir.

Let's move on to other things ... The SE has never tasted Executive power, you get it and want to do four years, why?

*Abuse is allowed*

The thing tire me oooh. Which one is 4 years ? Four years to do what exactly ?

Peter Obi need to wake up from that delusion and face reality. No body, I repeat no body will vote for you only for you to do 4 years. It can't happen in Africa talk more of Nigeria. Even Obi as president will do more than 4 years.

Forgot the nonsense he is saying. Talk is cheap until he gets there. He forgets that power intoxicates.

If Peter Obi knows that he can't step low and play the right politics by becoming Atiku Vice. Then, he better go home and rest and not waste his money to contest any presidential election in 2027 because he will loose again.

They will rig him out again just like they did in 2023 and nothing will happen. Only a coalition and alliance with him and Atiku will stop the rigging and remove Apc from power.

Am an Obedient. But that's the reality. Peter Obi should better apply wisdom. 2027 is his last and final chance.

Dalohad:
Na who still dey buy house for Lagos I dey pity.

I swear!! Buy house in lagos at your peril.

Lagos the worst state to invest in real estate.

Mr Wike. Atiku has left Pdp for you. You can now have the Pdp presidential ticket in 2027.

No more Atiku, tambuwal or even Obi to stop you. The ticket is now yours.

owobokiri:
Tinubu might run with the former governor of Kano state, Ganduje, in 2027 and ofcourse he will rig himself to power again.
If he survives the 8 years, he might hand over to that man because the Yorubas seem to like him, and his daughter is married to the son of the former governor of Oyo. He is also very kwarupt, and you know that kwaruption is an essential ingredient needed in the CV of a potential Nigerian president.

Gandujes deputy might be either Akpabio or Wike. That's the way it will go. Tibubu will go for the Southsouth to taunt the Igbos. If the two(Akpabio and Wike) prove to be too much liability by 2031, Tinubu might go for Elumelu as Gandujes deputy. That's what my permutations suggest. Dont listen to any stary eyed politician from the east telling you that the APC under buhari and Tinubu will bring an igbo near the presidency. A party that can't stand an igbo Speaker of The House of Representative

APC was formed solely to entrench the marginalization of the igbos. If the igbos to find a way to unravel the APC, na otilor for them..

That's the more reason Peter Obi has to drop his presidential ambition for now to be Atiku vice.

Atiku is gaining ground and momentum in the north, obi should capitalize on it now stop saying that nonsense of Ruling for one tenure. Such thing doesn't work in Nigeria.

Obi should need to low down to conquer. His time will come. He need to be Atiku vice so that Apc will be kicked out in 2027.

How is that Apc business ?

Atiku will get the ticket and obi will be his vice.

AMINDA:
Okay. Aggregate Buhari’s list of appointees and compare side by side with Tinubu's obvious tribalism and preference for only Yorubas. The North stretches from Kogi down to Sokoto and is comprised of multiple tribes including Kanuri, Igala, Gbagyi, Nupe, Berom, Hausa, Fulani, etc. All Buhari’s appointments to any part of the North (Northeast, Northwest, Northcentral) were viewed as Northern appointments. Is it the same with Tinubu focusing on only his people to the detriment of the entire South?

It's a fact. Northerners showed great restraint even when the EndSars metamorphosed into BuhariMustGo. They didn't ask people from other regions to leave their states nor embarked upon street renaming even when they were called cows. They understood that it was the price to pay for having one of theirs in power. The same cannot be said of you in the SW.

Arewa gave Igbos living in the north " quit notice " in June 2017 , telling them to vacate the north. In case if you have forgotten.

Wike must run for president under pdp.

AMINDA:
It's now clear that Aregbesola is doing serious damage to Tinubu across the grassroots of the SW. In the Southwest, anyone that dares to chart a pathway for himself will be immediately termed a betrayer and the full weight of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway propaganda machinery unleashed upon them. Case studies abound. Ambode, Fashola, Fayemi, Sanwo-olu, Osinbajo, etc. Dear Yorubas, after Tinubu, who would be your next leader? No, don't say you will cross the bridge when you get there. Who's Tinubu's successor(s)?

Mc Oluomo, kunke poly or Modashiru obasa will be their next leader.

What happened to freedom of Association ? As for betrayal, am you telling me that tinubu has not betrayed anyone in politics ? Is tinubu a saint ?

These people are worse than mob!!

Ritchiee:
Igbos talk about business more than any tribe in Nigeria and they make it seem as if they are the numero uno in business but facts and reality have shown that they are not as business oriented and successful as the Yorubas.
They have the sectors they dominate,Hausas have the sectors they dominate while Yorubas have the sectors they dominate.
Findings show that Yorubas dominate more sectors than the Igbos and have more companies,firms and SMEs than the Igbos.

If that is the truth, the governors should have woo Yoruba investors to come to bauchi not Igbos investors

What you people dominate are mainly white collar jobs and office works. Including agbero work. No body is dragging it with you people.

This thread is not for dig measuring because na inferiority complex dey worry una.

immaculatesense:
I was telling one guy on another segment that Jagaban no fear the Core North. E no even rate them.
He has successfully planned how to win the election using divide and rule tactics of the North themselves.
Baba go just hold South West, South South and North Central tight, cut some reasonable percentages from NW and NE.
Make PDP, ADC and LP dey drag who go win South East, North East and North West make him just win total votes with 25% requirements. Gbam.

No Be Juju Be Dat?

Remove SS and NC from your tight list.

Tinubu did not win SS and NC in 2023. The same will happen in 2027.

Peter Obi should better ally with Atiku and be his vice and stop that nonsense of " I will serve on term ".

SmartPolician:
Men mostly throw big wedding receptions to impress their wives and make her feel good.

But once you get her pregnant before wedding, her choices are limited.

You can tell her no wedding reception and she will agree because she doesn't have a choice.

I concur with you. Even if you don't get her pregnant. You can still Insist on no reception. If she disagree, let her use her money to find the reception.

dahmie2013:
What is Peter Obi's offence against Soludo? Why does Soludo dislike him so much? He takes every opportunity to insult him.

Read!!

Soludo was referring to the Apc governorship candidate in Anambra.

Nice one. But op, where is the source of the news ?

Chimookigwe:
If Tinubu replaces Shettima, nothing will happen.
The votes Kwankwaso will bring, can Shettima bring them?

Tinubu told the whole world that Buhari before he became President was crying until he told him not to cry that he will help him win. Can they look Buhari in the face and say half of that?

These ones don't know who they are dealing with. They think it's GEJ or Peter Obi.

Chairman is already NC
Tinubu can decide to pick VP from NW and nothing will happen.

In fact, if Tinubu doesn't amount Shettima as next President, Shettima will cause problems in Tinubu's second term. It's better they part ways now.

kwakwaso is only relevant in Kano state. He can deliver Kano state votes to tinubu not north west votes.

Enemies everywhere. They are not even united.

The day Nigeria will divide. Minorities in SS will fight a civil war among themselves.

Peter Obi does not own anybody any explanation on his personal money.

Nice one.

Tinubu is from the South West not south.

You people should stop playing on our intelligence.
