Lagos State And SW Nigeria Deserves Special Status. by alade112(m): 9:30am On Dec 15, 2020 |
The number of people that come into Lagos state everyday is about 7,000. Most are not coming to buy goods, but to make Lagos their new home. According to senator Adeola, "the resources of Lagos state government cannot adequately cater for the population and the pressure on amenities arising out of the status of the state as an acknowledged mega city with a population of over 20 million Nigerians" I think the Federal Government simply exploits and abandon lagos state. Lagos state deserves special status, If lagos state can't get it. Then the federal government should create a Development commission for South West also. Nigerian revenues comes from two sources, the oil and non-oil revenue. South west Nigeria generates 80 to 90% of the Non oil revenue income. We also deserve something special. We are too civil to get what we want through violence, we all know what gave birth to NDDC and NEDC . The South west leaders should continue to push Lagos special Status they shouldn't give up, because the mass Migration to SW is alarming. The negative impacts of migration has outweighed the positive impact. Starting from Pressure on public services such as schools, housing and healthcare, Overcrowding and pollution , crime, Increased pressure on budget. 5 Likes |

![]() We don't need their special status or useless Regional Commission for lazy states running on oil money By the time Dangote refinery starts paying tax to Lagos State Government on every drop of oil refined, and other value chain from Fertilizer plant, and other major industries that would spring out along Ibeju Lekki... Lagos won't even need any stupid allocation from Abuja . 2 Likes |

kmst1: Don't we have states that produce oil? Do you know how much custom generates from SW borders alone? Not to talk of other incomes from SW going into the federal government pockets . Many federal roads in Lagos states are bad. They generate money from the seaport but can't repair the roads for decades now.. 7 Likes |

What are the percentage of real investor's from SE in Lagos? Apart from Access bank, how many Biafra banks can stand GTBank.. ?

If Lagos deserve Special status than all Niger delta states deserves VVIp Special Status. After all they are the goose that lay Nigeria's eggs and keep Nigeria one. without the Niger delta Nigeria and Lagos State is finished because Lagos State won't have been built..since 1970 till date it is Niger delta money that has grow and developed Lagos to the status it currently is. |

Nonsense! You're actually ungrateful to say the least. Oil producing states that are being exploited and their environment grossly degraded have not been given special status then it is Lagos that Nigeria channeled most of its resources to build during the oil boom era that will now deserve special status. I don't blame you, rather I blame the federal government that concentrated most amenities there instead of spreading it out. Lagos is nothing without Nigeria! It is Nigeria that made Lagos what it is and not the other way round!! It is Lagos that should be grateful not Nigeria!!! 1 Like |

alade112: You should be careful what you wish for, if you guys continue to make noise about Lagos or try to intimidate FG or others, then have it in mind that FG can decide to put in place policies that will hurt Lagos and push investments to other states. You can't have every damn thing in Nigeria sited in Lagos at the detriment of other states/regions and not expect mass migration to Lagos. You may ask how can FG hurt Lagos but that will be a very easy thing to do. FG can veto any further company/industry from being cited in Lagos going forward, under the guise of decongesting Lagos. Once any such request is made, they will be directed to other states/regions. FG can force all oil company headquarters to leave Lagos. FG can force imports/exports to be done through other ports than Lagos by slamming huge taxes on those passing through Lagos while making others almost free etc. 1 Like |

BastardWike: Oil producing states receive special allocation, 13% derivation. Apart from the normal allocations. They have received more than N9trn since 2000. Who sent them to loot it? Is that not special enough. Please hold SS leaders responsible for the misfortune of the region... They swim in wealth with little to show for it. SS is still the richest region in Nigeria if we take away Lagos from SW. The leaders of SS are too corrupt.. |
