So you were comparing Lagos City with Ekiti state and Osun State Don't be silly
The whole thrust of this thread is clearly comparing Lagos State to other states
What is he basis for comparing Lagos city minus other parts of the state to Osun or Ekiti state? why?
you are only kidding yourself

British war made Epe Lagos province Really ?

Define Lagos Province Then I will answer that because next you will say you were talking of another thing

There was no Lagos State before independence

Stop talking ignorantly or foolishly

Lagos State was created in 1967

Before that 80% of what is now Lagos State was in the Western Region under the Action Group of Awolowo

which laid the foundation for Lagos as the manufacturing hub of Nigeria. That was not done by military governments.

Ogun State is the next manufacturing hub in Nigeria . Oyo state has one of the largest GDPs in Nigeria behind only Lagos , Delta and Rivers which latter two are oil producing states

The SW is the most prosperous part of Nigeria and that is underpinned by Lagos Ogun and Oyo states
That is why we clamour for more federalism

you can lie for CNN

alanto:
Why always Anambra and not Abia or Enugun?
Oyo's economy is bigger than all 5 Eastern states, before adding Ogun.
Yoruba people don't care about states, we care about the language you speak, if you are Yoruba you are welcome anywhere in Yoruba land but I know you won't understand because among communities you guys don't marry talkess state to state.

your igr is greater than all African nations combined

You don bring insult to this small matter. Yiibo sef

Armaggedon:
Not very accurate. Lagos was a seperate colony from the colony of the north and southern Nigeria, it was a separate protectorate. During the regional system it was the capital of Nigeria. Now it's a separate state. My point is that it has never been part of a self governing political entity of the yorubas.

you have time to reply that lying demon.
He thinks knowledge is also in the exclusive list of the federal government

That's the bitter truth. Oyo state generates more igr and vat than the whole of se. Search nairaland for the facts

Calabar was also a capital for a long period of time. Why is cross-River/Akwa-Ibom not viable like Lagos ?

Calabar was a Capital . Let us understand a number of things that still many do not understand. Today there is a country called Unilever which has its origins in a company that existed in the 1880s or even earlier. The Royal Niger Company RNC
In Berlin around 1884 European countries took the map of Africa and divided it and they did not email the people on ground to tell them that they had become tenants

.Countries like Britain leased or ceded part of their share to companies like the RNC "By Royal Charter from Her majesty the Queen " which traded a lot in palm oil and enforced their will with their private army under British support. Eventually when the British Government took their Charter back they compensated RNC paying them essentially for Nigeria while the tenants were not even part of the conversation. Calabar was the main base for RNC at some point and therefore was the "capital" but in reality the British had to carry out "military operations" to inform the natives that they were tenants of the Queen which of course they resisted bravely against overwhelming force
so Calabar was " capital" of territory under charter of the RNC known first as the Oil River Protectorate then as the Niger Coast Protectorate
That territory is what would be today the SE and SS east of the Niger even though much of the conquest was not yet fished .
Calabar was never capital of the whole of what is today Nigeria .

In the North.. Zungeru was the capital whilst Lagos was separate.

Notice the name
Colony and Protectorate of Southern Nigeria when the whole South was merged in 1906. Colony referred to Lagos which legally was NOT a protectorate but a POSSESION of Queen Victoria

Yoruba are alpha male, all women want them, ask your igbo women to stop following us. They know our culture and gender friendly civilization is second to none. They can't just resist good life

Lagos x .??

Dis Lagos go kill una.

There is no where else in your zoo to survive?

That's the bitter truth. Oyo state generates more igr and vat than the whole of se. Search nairaland for the facts

why do you guys love embarrassing yourselves on the internet, oyo state with a population of 7.8 million people generates 29.8 billion in vat between January 2020 and February 2021, imo and ebonyi combined have a population of 8.2 million and they generated 36.1 billion in vat in the same period, that is for the federal government collected taxes. As for the state taxes, the IGR, oyo's igr has increased by N15b since makinde became governor (result of higher taxation) and even with that N15b increase, it currently stands at N38b while that of imo and ebonyi combined is N30.5b as a result of the usual lax taxation in the south east.

Please research before you just start talking

oyo state generated more than 70 bn naira as vat in 2021. Stop arguing like a kid. Search the story here on nairaland. Just type oyo state generated 70bn vat nairaland on google or check firs website, not that fake table with no source

I made it clear in my post that Ibadan will do better if it were closer to Lagos like Ogun state.

Ogun state generally is failure with visionless leaders.
Despite the proximity it enjoys freely from Lagos the state economy grows like a snail.
The areas of Ogun state which are industrial hub has been neglected by visionless leaders who don't care.

Go to agbara industrial estate and see lot of closed industries. Even the road to agbara will give you headhace .
Go-to sango and see the pitiable condition of the road there.
Go-to many areas close to Lagos in Ogun state then you'll know the government are failing

Ondo state has natural resources and has nothing to show for it.

In southwest here, what we have is just theif parading themselves as leaders.
What's why they detest transparency.
The only progressing state sofar are Lagos, OYO and osun state.
Ogun state and progressing should not be in same sentence.

Look at the retrogression from the igr graph

Ondo State Government needs to develop the Araromi Coastal Area, it is only 75 km from Lagos and if well managed it can be the next big thing in Nigeria

The Ondo State Governor should start out by building a highway to Lagos and a regular fast ferry Service to Lagos
