The reality would set in when the ports are completed. So if the main importer are Ibos, what happens to the other tribes importing? Have you done the percentage to see which region import most? What about the market? Or better still, what goods are the Ibos importing that the Yorubas aren't? And also remind me what goods the Ibos are exporting that the Yorubas aren't? I don't want to drag in the other tribes here but when you leave, the market would still be as big with only little change in the character and the buyers would still be patronising especially that most of our international customers are within west Africa and Lagos stand the advantage of not only being known and trusted but also being in line as the first they come to.
Problem can only arise if no Yoruba or other tribe still around is willing to invest in the field the Ibo man left behind. So, you can start doing the maths now. All I just see then is our fate right in our hands and yes! there won't be no one like you guys to decampaign our progress again.

Take a survey of what Nigeria import from Fashion to Building materials, and note which tribe is more in those areas, also I'm not downplaying other tribes, they also import.
The bulk of The Yorubas are known to love schools while the Edos love traveling abroad. The Ibos love apprenticeship and you'll agree their goods are not sourced locally.
Also the North is closer to Warri than Lagos, The Northern importers would gladly use Warri port due to closeness to their region

I could not make sense of what you just typed.

Did you read the post to understand why they are moving to Abuja or you just felt like typing rubbish ?

CapitalBank:
The oil companies HQ in Lagos, what are they do there?

For easy export and import.
Lagos is the commercial capital of the country.

Think9ja:
Good move.

Everything should not revolve around Lagos.
There are hundreds of virgin lands in Abuja, yet, Lagos keeps getting congested with very poor standard of living.

If not because of that Atlantic that cuts across Lagos, Lagos would have been a parody of itself since 1991.

If there was an easy way to make the Atlantic cut across Abuja, aboki people would have done that a long time ago.

And once that happens, many people will run away from Lagos.

sorry bra. It will never happen. God created it not man. So your opinion

HornyTave:


Apart from some areas in Ikoyi, Lekki and Ikeja, the rest part are slums.

before you argue I know Lagos.

You are right brother.

90% of lagosians just work to pay bills and spend thier youth in traffic, Nothing more.

Someone earning 50k in Ibadan has a better standard of living than someone earning 100k in Lagos.

Rent is expensive.

Accomodation is expensive.

Feeding is expensive.

Expenses keep skyrocketing but salary remains fixed.

lol, what an entrapment !

LAGOS, A GLORIFIED SLUM !!!

oluigboelijah:
Hello people, please, how do I get to Ogudu from oshodi .

Use lara.ng for navigation in Lagos

MzMercie:

HQs being situated in Niger Delta where the oil comes from does not affect import N export, OKAY?

Taxes that should be going to Akwa Ibom, Rivers, Delta ETC has been paid to Lagos state government.

You also do not know why they are in Lagos... They are there for security reasons, not because of import or export like you highlighted and Niger Deltans caused it.

Why ?

most people in Lagos (apart from the self employed) are in Lagos suffering and waiting for the opportunity their pastor preached in church.

Useless country shit hole country how can someone give such an order. The people working in that sector have families and are settled where they are, don’t they consider them and their families .

E be like say them don do yhu strong thing for here too. Lol

IGBOSON1:


It’s all about this insane and inexplicable need to feel superior and grab everything meaningful to their region! This is the major reason they went all out to get rid of GEJ (with the assistance of some greedy and bigoted southerners....kindred spirits if you like), and is also the reason why they unashamedly rigged the 2019 one to remain in power!

This is one of the reasons i want Ndigbo out of this contraption they call a country! We will always be undermined and held down at every corner, and can never reach our full potential as a people!

Trash. The executive order was signed 2012 by President Goodluck Jonathan. So your propaganda won't sell.

You keep me laughing. Check what I wrote again. I was not particular about if the Ibos imported more even though that is, in itself, debatable but what the Ibos import that the Yorubas don't. Perhaps, you have to go back to understand my point. Lagos is the market you use so the customers coming to Lagos would still meet the products there even if you guys beat it tomorrow which means it creates wealth yet for the importers staying in it and continue the progress of the state.

If you guys decide to use Warri but not base your business in Warri, it increases the time and cost of getting the goods to your market of choice which is also a disadvantage. Now, if the goods still end up been transported to Lagos as the market, then it becomes a bad business idea for all the demerits while the state still coast home with its tax. Win WIN FOR Lagos.

Bobby4090:
What will they be doing in Abuja? Sitting on their desk and watching movies. How many flights take off and land in Abuja compared to Lagos. Even all our Airlines have their HQ in Lagos. Why not also tell NPA too to relocate to Abuja. Northern mentality!

Abuja is not North within the context of Nigeria. If they want to take it to North, they would have taken it to Kano. Which one be northern mentality. Abuja Na middle belt.

Dpharisee:
Why is he moving institutions away from sophisticated 97% area to Abuja
Meanwhile, Airpeace has long asked for Enugu Airport to be concessioned to them to turn it into an aviation hub but Sirika has worked against that.

don't mind Hadi Sirika and those other northern monopolist who don't want any region to control major stakes im the aviation sector . It all boils down to prejudice and modern day northern islamic fundamentalism agenda in disguise. And, Air Peace would surely do a better work, but government is afraid of loosing face, plus they won't be able to hijack the process for their corrupt purposes without having to share the spoils with private sector players.

your problem is, you don't travel and you think only Lagosians are wealthy enough to buy finished or imported goods. Nigeria is 200+ million people and when last I checked Lagos is 21+ million. Maybe you think all others, outside southwest are poor and can't afford luxury. lol.

Also, Lagos is not the only exist to other West Africa countries, other states can be annexed to freight end product.

It is a blessing in disguise for Lagos. The glory of Lagos can never be quenched or diminished

No, you're the one getting it wrong. No one's undermining the potential of any region on importation but you Igbos hence the believe that Lagos rest on your import capability. What I'm just trying to let you see is that other regions are as much as important and heavily importing like the Ibos. And that there's no product an Ibo man is importing that some other regions are not importing too. There's no market in Lagos that the presence of other regions are not felt; and most especially there are some market that even other regions (not Ibos) dominated. You'll never understand this unless you truly live in Lagos, pateronise these markets and most importantly, you mixed with these markets in any of these fields; banking, insurance, marketing, import and export, market survey, etc. So, Lagos can't crumble because one decides not to commit again. Such process would just mean others would have to step up their importation to feel the gap the Igbos left behind since the market is yet in the Lagos. Even if only one remain, such just have to step up plus it gives room for many others to join the league.
Quite true, Lagos is not the only entrance into Nigeria by the WA countries as we still have Ogun, Oyo and I think, a northern state. But what I'm trying to let you see is that the route they take in is always Badagry, Lagos which automatically means the first state in line. And that means, so far the previous market they deal with is still Lagos, Lagos would still have its fair share of customership irrespective of the tribe of the seller because what determines demand is availability and price. If the price is right, it would be insane for any customer to go buy the same products from Onitsha and spend on transports to get the goods to the border when the first market present him with the border with little expense.
That leaves all of us with the other customers within. The north would be divided with their choice of port, so as the north central. And each region would also rely heavily on their peoples capability which means unless the government of Lagos is crazily dumb, Lagos stands a very good chance on all front. Especially that it is an already established market. Or why do you think the Dangotes, the Bua's Rabius, the Dantatas are investing heavily in it yet despite the shout of Biafra disturbing our ears all this while?
Remember, this is just importation/exportation (the bulk of money which is heavily going into the pocket of the FG) and market penetration we are still talking about. WE ARE NOT TOUCHING THE PRIVATE INVESTORS and Foreign investment in the land. Lekki free trade zone is just coming up as well as the Alaro city. You need to go sightsee to see the number of investments the Asians are bringing in.

Bobby4090:


My dear, ignorant people like u don't know what makes a city or a region great.
Administrative HQ doesn't really matter. What matters is where the operations take place. It's like saying PH and Warri has lost their place in our oil sector just because NNPC head office is in Abuja. Rubbish! Lagos is so independent that it doesn't lean on FG peanuts like other states.
As for companies, even if some relocate outside Lagos, does it not interest you that the world biggest single train refinery is being built in Lagos. With a capacity twice that of all your FG refineries combined.
This refinery also comes with the biggest petrol chemical complex and biggest fertilizer complex in Africa.
Go to Lekki Export Processing Zone and see how the Chinese are turning that place to a new China. Even a new Lekki port is being constructed there to decongest Apapa. Not to mention Eko Atlantic City that is being dubbed the new African Dubai.
My brother, if you are waiting for the fall of Lagos u will wait forever. Presently, nearly 70% of the foreign direct investments coming into Nigeria are looking for a place to set in Lagos. Ok?
Have a nice day!

you just have to read to understand all what he said is the truth...Lagos is booming because every other ports in the country were left to rot away because of nepotism from the northern leaders ....warri, calabar, portharcut, and river niger respectively... see immediately all these ports kick starts I a sure you this will definitely change....

King44:
Gbam!!! With the huge population in Lagos the roads are as tiny as a thread, why can't they enlarge the roads in States that has population and buoyant economy? They won't

Even the houses are not even lived in most are locked up man this lagos is the seat of power if we are being honest

Chaiiii. I just dey laugh in Swahili, Is a go, shako shako is a goo, en dun dey happen. We go see who go tire for this govt.
Afonjas were told and warned but bcs of their useless selfish interest, they felt they know it better. If at all they want to relocate to Abuja, this is not the right time for this, we need to bring back our economy not relocation.
What every stakeholder should be talking about is how to revive our economy. Afonjas go tire, very soon en go clear una for eye, useless

Your parent must be really ashamed of you if they see thus shit you posted up there.

Let me educate you boy!

1, Lagos state govt doesn't generate kobo from all those Agencies
2, The Airport is controlled by Federal government 100%
3, The seas port is also 100% owned by Federal govt too, the agencies can all relocate but will the Airlines relocate too .. You're just a lunatics and I wish I can assassinate pig like you and flush you down the toilet.

So why are u having Sifia pain??
