If present trends continue, in another decade or two, Lagos's economy will surpass the size of the rest of Nigeria. What has held the country together in the past, however tenuously, is the redistribution of money earned from the country's oil exports. But this is changing fast, as Lagos booms and its dependence on this ever more thinly sliced revenue -- what Nigerian politicians call the "national cake" -- dwindles. "If [Lagos's] GDP continues to rise the way it is, the federal contribution to [the city] could shrink to 5 percent," Folarin Gbadebo-Smith, the director of a leading independent Nigerian think tank, the Center for Policy Alternatives told me in an interview in his stylish offices. "What you would end up with is a virtual country. All of the parameters, absent an army, police and currency of your own, are there. We are good to go."

nickxtra: Because Nigerians don't understand what leadership is. The fact that you can even consider Ambode to be a leader exemplifies this. He is an opportunist. Not a leader. There is a difference. Just because you are in a leadership position does not make you a leader. |

edoyad: it is always easy to look like a genius when conditions naturally favour you. When GEJ was enjoying $100 oil, nobody noticed his incompetence. Lagos is the commercial capital of Nigeria, it has a population bigger than most african countries, so it will always have money, it does not mean it is being run well. Put Ambode in Osun or Ondo to know if he is really smart. |
