Relax. U have facts which I am disputing. Yes u are leading since 1996 but it's very difficult to see such records been emulated to your universities has its rare to see a SE insitution among the top 20 in the nation. Sometimes I wonder why can't such secondary standard can't be transferred to your state higher institution even if we can mention that of Federal universities.

Funny dude you are trying your best to..........

Then it was exam malpractices, now standard of education I guess their WAEC question papers and JAMB it's below standard that's obtainable in WEST and NORTH west is behind in Education, how can you use top institutions to measure regional education growth in Nigeria And you forgot the region with highest percentage performance in WAEC and JAMB get admitted in those institutions have you study unity schools entrance exam performance in Nigeria Southeast students are highly favored in West, North, go and study Kings college Lagos merit list since 90s.

Aigbofa:
Dangotes refinery alone is a bigger investment than all ibo investments in Lagos combined and yet you will not hear him boasting about anything.
There are many other investors in Lagos doing their thing without any noise or any problems with anybody. Only ibos are loud and extremely obnoxious about the little pennies they have in Lagos.

I guess his refinery also bigger than all Yoruba investments in Lagos and remember his kinsmen attacks on Yoruba communities in Lagos

Read more about Lagos colony

[b]Lagos Colony was a British colonial possession centred on the port of Lagos in what is now southern Nigeria. Lagos was annexed on 6 August 1861 under the threat of force by Commander Beddingfield of HMS Prometheus who was accompanied by the Acting British Consul, William McCoskry. (spelled "Docemo" in British documents) resisted the cession for 11 days while facing the threat of violence on Lagos and its people, but capitulated and signed the Lagos Treaty of Cession.[1] Lagos was declared a colony on 5 March 1862.[2] By 1872 Lagos was a cosmopolitan trading center with a population over 60,000.[3] In the aftermath of prolonged wars between the mainland Yoruba states, the colony established a protectorate over most of Yorubaland between 1890 and 1897.[4] The colony and protectorate was incorporated into Southern Nigeria in February 1906, and Lagos became the capital of the protectorate of Nigeria in January 1914.[2] Since then, Lagos has grown to become the largest city in West Africa, with an estimated metropolitan population of over 9,000,000 as of 2011.[/b]

[b]The earliest incarnation of Lagos was an Awori fishing community located on the series of islands and peninsula that form the modern state, The area was inhabited by families that claimed a semi-mythical ancestry from a figure called Olofin. The modern descendants of this figure are the contemporary nobility known as the Idejo or "white cap chiefs" of Lagos. In the 16th century, Lagos island was reputedly sacked by troops of the Oba of Benin during that kingdom's expansionary phase and became known as Eko. The monarchs of Lagos since then have claimed descent from the warrior Ashipa (who is alternately claimed to be a prince of Benin or an Awori freebooter loyal to the Benin throne), although the aristocracy or the Idejo remained Yoruba. Ashipa's son built his palace on Lagos Island, and his grandson moved the seat of government to the palace from the Iddo peninsula. In 1730 the Oba of Lagos invited Portuguese slave traders to the island, and soon a flourishing trade developed. In the first half of the 19th century the Yoruba hinterland was in a state of near-constant warfare due to internal conflicts and incursions from the northern and western neighbouring states. By now the fortified island of Lagos had become a major centre of the slave trade. The United Kingdom had abolished import of slaves to their colonies in 1807, and abolished slavery in all British territories in 1833. The British became increasingly active in suppressing the slave trade.[13] At the end of 1851 a naval expedition bombarded Lagos into submission,[14] deposed Oba Kosoko, installed Oba Akitoye (who was more amenable), and signed the Great Britain-Lagos treaty that made slavery illegal in Lagos on January 1, 1852. A few months later Louis Fraser from the Bight of Benin consulate was posted to the island as vice-Consul. The next year Lagos was upgraded to a full consulate with Benjamin Campbell being appointed as Consul. A Yoruba emigrant, the catechist James White, wrote in 1853 "By the taking of Lagos, England has performed an act which the grateful children of Africa shall long remember ... One of the principal roots of the slave trade is torn out of the soil".
Tensions between the new ruler, Akitoye, and supporters of the deposed Kosoko led to fighting in August 1853. An attempt by Kosoko himself to take the town was defeated, but Akitoye died suddenly on 2 September 1853, perhaps by poison. After consulting with the local chiefs, the consul declared Dosunmu (Docemo), the eldest son of Akitoye, the new Oba. With successive crises and interventions, the consulate evolved over the following years into a form of protectorate.[13] Lagos became a base from which the British would gradually extend their jurisdiction in the form of a protectorate over the hinterland. The process was driven by demands of trade and security rather than by any deliberate policy of expansion. The CMS Grammar School was founded in Lagos on 6 June 1859 by the Church Missionary Society, modelled on the CMS Grammar School in Freetown, Sierra Leone
Awories, Eegus,Benins Yoruba hinter land migrated to Lagos early, Hausa, Igbos and other tribes migrated late, It well documented we will remind you guys at the right time[/b]

aresssa:
Delta state today is the most indebted state in Nigeria with N700 billion debt, that's almost N300 billion more than Lagos state's debt, but we can see all over the place what Lagos state did with all their funds and debt, but we can not see 1 single thing Delta state did with decades of allocations, derivations IGRs and billions in NDDC funds.

Take easy dey lie please
Go through this table southwest region is most indebted region in Nigeria state topping the table is Lagos state

ba7man:
Dude.... Private development pass private development.


The scale of the Eko Atlantic is beyond anything you can think of with whatever development you're talking about.

Go to Dubai to see similar projects, not these small scale private developments you're talking about.


And why do you guys like posting emoticons randomly when you're pained and try to hide it?

Thank God you agreed its a private project, you guys should stop dragging ND leaders, and region down as if your leaders are best, why will I be pain by Eko project, if I have the money and privilege I'll use their facilities same with you and others, there is no where they specify it can only be use by Yorubas and Lebanese, if you don't have what it takes to be there you can only read EA on media, or probably view the site from far distant till you die, same privilege you have over EA same with me.

ba7man:
Why did they choose Lagos, rather than wherever you're rooting for?

Who convinced them to invest their Billions of dollars?

Who created a conducive environment for them to invest?

Who supported their efforts?

Other private developers are doing the same in other states not just Lagos, no be only conducive environment Please help me check whether Yorubas and Eegus don fight finish for Ajah

ba7man:
