Until the river is dredged, we can't really call it a port.

It would be a riverport not a seaport.

Its not about what you see, its about what you don't see. The average resident in Lagos, Rich or poor, Hausa, Igbo, youruba, Itsekiri, etc is always more competitive nd exposed on the average than their equivalent counterparts in other regions. The richest people in Lagos are entrepreneurs, the richest in Abuja are Politicians and in the east are traders..... Even a lot of low class areas in Lagos have more money in circulation in them than some state capitals.

The work force in Nigeria Lagos has more than half of it, the PAYE instead of that to be going to the National treasury it would be going to lagos, then we move unto corporate tax; They are more companies in Victoria Island than the whole of Nigeria.

You need to see the rate at which Corporate high-rise buildings are being constructed in V.I. There's nothing like it going on anywhere else in this country at the moment.

Exactly.... why do you think that PDP are so desperate to have Lagos state.

Like I said according aviation stats London to Lagos is one of the most lucrative route in the world after London to New York and remember MMA is a Hub airport. Businesses from all over the world would deal with Lagos than any other part of Nigeria, Lagos could restrict what goes to other part of Nigeria because of its ports and rail network.

Your missing the point! they are still working in Lagos meaning they are employed in Lagos state, they are not working for an agency based in Benin seconded to work in Lagos. The work force in Chicago is made with over 100 nationalties but the PAYE tax goes to one coffer (US Govt)

Of course, Lagos being the commercial capital is a contribution of different tribes but its also the most welcoming State to entertain different tribes doing bizness in peace. Thanks will go to its locals for permitting that.

dude just go sidon go sip akamu.....the more you try to argue,the more you spill out the jealousy you are keeping under covers.

Lagos and yoruba's acceptance of other tribes and cultures,peace~loving people is what makes lagos where it is today...


If anyone here knows the kaduna story,you will understand that state should be ultmostly developed(atleast above par) but those kajes and other non tolerant hausas destroyed everything with their tribal and religious intolerances.......back to topic»»»»»

Before Tinubu/ Fashola Governed Lagos, Lagos was....
(1)One of the dirtiest States in Nigeria with piles of garbage by the roadside.
(2) Molues ruled the transport biz and they even plyed V.I.
(3)V.I was on the verge of being washed away.
(4) Insecurity was rife all over the state,Armed robbery and traffic robbery was common.

(5) No streetlight worked. No project was being carried out, illegal markets blocked roads, beggers filled everywhere, people lived under bridges, ghettos sprang up in different locations at will, no form of traffic control, people rode against traffic, indiscipline was the order of the day....etc.

They both took charge and reversed all these problems mentioned above, resulting in a boost in investor's confidence. This brought investments in from all over the country, diaspora and foreigners too.

Who else would you say is responsible?? A large number of potential investors just received a telepathic urge that make them flock down to Lagos to start investing?? They were attracted by what they saw.
A Governor like Akpabio is also on the right path, Akwa-Ibom should just be prepared to tackle the attendant problems that come with mass immigration of people into the State, something Lagos has been struggling with for decades.

Look Lagos can easily stands alone if they force PAYE tax on all workers in Lagos, fixed Levies or corporate taxes on local business or firms. Lagos State has the funds to make the rest of Nigeria look like Azerbaijan thats with its oil.

Lagos is the business city of Africa alongside Jo'burg, Lagos - London is a premium route in the aviation industry, can you imagine the amount of visa to be issued to non Lagosian resisdents? Am sorry how much is the yearly budget handed to Lagos state compared to Lagos state yearly revenue? firms around the world would be dealing with Lagos state if Lagos gains independence it would be like cutting London away from the whole of UK.
Re: Construction Of Seaport, Airport Begins At Lekki by whitecat007: 12:57am On Jul 04, 2013
Fashola is paying them cos the money made from lagos into the FG is what Lagos gets a penny on the dollar.
If every region is allowed to keep their resources, you know now say na una erosion washed up red clay your people go chop tire.

Acidosis: Some people actually think Fashola is the one paying all the local government workers in Lagos state

I wonder which aviation stats? Number of flights? Number of Passengers? or combined baggage weight of all passangers?

Did you mean total cost of tickets purchased + volume of flights? and why would this be smaller in NewYork-Dubai, Tokyo-HongKong, Beijing-London or NewYork-Los Angeles?

Please point us to which stats you are referring to before you start making up stories to prove a point

Before erosion destroys the east the Atlantic ocean would have reduced the west to stone age and then you'll have too much water to drink that is if you survive. Silly monkey!
