[b]Obviously Kalu is trying to score a cheap political point It is on record that Yorubas control sectors that dominate the GDP of Lagos It's no wonder a government like Lagos can look through its books and consider some people very dispensable Apart from not contributing to the growth of the economy, they are stalling it through crime and the sale of substandard and adulterated products Seven different sectors dominate economic activities in Lagos State, led by manufacturing which, interestingly, contributes 29.60 percent of the state’s GDP figures. Road transport follows closely contributing an average of 26.47 percent of economic activities in the state. Other sectors in order of dominance include building and construction (19.60 percent); wholesale and retail (8.39 percent); telecommunications (3.71 percent); financial institutions (3.51 percent); and real estate (2.01 percent). The seven sectors account for 93.39 percent of economic activities in the state. Now tell me which if the seven sectors listed above that the Yorubas don't dominate. Wholesale and Retail? Just 8.39% [/b] 8 Likes |

Burger01: Just 174! There are more with just primary school leaving cert or with no minimum qualification, I beg sack them all. They are more like manace to the society. Imagine one strangling a driver in the course of forced arrest. Please sack more... You could give only one instance of misdemeanor while the LASG has sacked 174. Has this ever happened in the NPF despite their daily atrocities? Give it up to the LASG. They may not be perfect but they are unarguably the best as this should send signals to the rest of them. 1 Like |

kettykin: Lagos has very limited land space the few available land space ought to be optimally utilised in the most economical way a sea port and a refinery which is better or even a high speed rail link which could have benefitted the state better and help it play its role as a commerical capital. Lagos state needs to hire a specialist from the world bank on development economics at most just copy hong kong or singapore verbatim and stop accusing your haters when you goof Where's the goof? Even the existing ports in Lagos are stretched. If the Lekki port is an economic gaffe, then the Onitsha jetty is a colossal waste which was built to politically assuage the Igbos. I consider the Nigerian coastline large enough to build ports that can support the whole of West Africa and we should have considered connecting the ports to the hinterland cites and towns via trains. Still doesn't mean that those who wish me dead wont die before IJN 1 Like |

Don't you just love the LASG? The only government in Nigeria that seems to have a structure With all the NPF's atrocities, how often do you hear them sack just one of their officers Most LASTMA officials I encounter have been very courteous and even on one occasion when had to scream at one, he remained calm 6 Likes |

ak47mann: barren land? this boy u really need help,the reason we have few yorubas in the east is that most of you guys cant challenge competitiveness in the east mumu... either u like it or not,my state in an oil producing state with self reliance,private refinery,biggest market in Africa all this things are documented,but with all ur bragging u dont have a refinery in the whole region A big market that contributes nothing to the state's bottom line in terms of IGR and GDP is nothing but a village square joint and I've been posting figures and links which support my claims but you just immaturely and emotionally rant |

Abagworo: I'm from Lagos but proudly Yoruba and you can't compare the number of Yorubas in Igboland to the number of Igbos in Yorubaland outside Lagos. They are all over the SW which they describe as desolate while Yorubas do not in anyway find the SE attractive for any economic reason 3 Likes |

Abagworo: Better in what sense? Economically? Just review my posts on this thread. You should know better and this isn't about pictures but GDPs and IGRs. How is the size of an economy determined? The GDP figures cannot be ignored and the GDP of Lagos, Ogun and Oyo are higher than that Abia while their IGRs are also higher. |

By the time the SW is screaming poverty, just realize that the SE is already desolate with destitution. Everyone knows that in Nigeria the marginalization chant is a quest for political and not economic relevance. Lagos, Oyo ad Ogun still remain more industrialized than any state in the SE, the poverty and unemployment rates in the SW is way lower. The GDPs and IGRs of the states are higher. How come your so called industrialization has no effect on your GDP and government's IGR? This easily explains the rush to the SW by your people and why less Yorubas are interested in traveling to the barren lands of the east 1 Like |

uihebom: Yorubas should be more concern about the N20 okro and 20liters of palm oil dey will be eating for the rest of their miserable lifetime. Dirty pigs. Your life will be miserable for the rest of it if for any reason you or any member of your family makes a living from, lives in or transacts business in the SW 2 Likes |

ak47mann: oyo is not financially stable my friend,just prove to me how much the state generate per capital from her internal revenue expenditure, you are not talking to an illiterate,bragging and showing some fraudulent facts does not hold water.my friend.I have told you about my own state controlling the biggest market in Africa,this is why nigerian police always pray to be transferred to my area because by the time he serve one or two yrs he will build a house in his place and buy a car,do u no why? because FACTS have proved that nigerian police makes billions of naira a year from bribery and corruption from my state and they collect those money from common citizens in the state..If they try that in oyo the state will not survive it because "individually" cannot afford bribing police on a regular basis.... Below is the IGR for states in Nigeria. Oyo and Ogun state's IGR double the IGR of all states in the SE except Abia which is still behind. You're so illusioned. Eediot! Oyo and Ogun are more industrialized than any state in the SE https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?hl=en_US&key=0AsNUaGBnBF1KdFpfNEVNNDYtSzBhRk1HT2tuRDlMUFE&hl=en_US&gid=2 1 Like

It has been reported that the ill-fated helicopter, that the governor of Kaduna state, Patrick Yakowa, a former National Security Adviser, Owoye Azazi, and four others, were travelling in, burst into flames, before plunging into the creeks. The Presidency released a statement last night, confirming that Yakowa and Azazi, and their aides, Dauda Tsoho and Mohammed Kama; and the pilots, Murtala Daba and Adeyemi Sowole, reportedly died in the crash. Eye witnesses say they were burnt beyond recognition. The chopper is owned by the Nigerian Navy and is said to have been shuttling repeatedly between Port Harcourt, Yenogoa and Okoroba, the town where an aide to President Goodluck Jonathan, Oronto Douglas, was burying his father over the weekend. The governor and the former Security chief, were on their way to Port Harcourt, enroute Abuja. Multiple reports say the carrier wobbled shortly after it stabilized in air and then plummeted into the swamps around 2.30pm. This is the third air disaster this year, after a Dana plane crashed on June 3, killing all 153 passengers on board. Another crash which involved Taraba State’s governor, Danbaba Suntai, occured in October, leaving him brain-dead. http://dailypost.com.ng/2012/12/16/bayelsa-helicopter-crash-chopper-exploded-crashing-killing-yakowa-azazi-4-others/ |

It's started again with Chime. Yesterday, there were reports that he died. No one has confirmed or refuted the rumor. Today again, the speculations are rife |
