Lagos been the former capital and also the British concentration in Lagos helped its present status. The Niger delta should have been ahead than all the regions in this country. But they have fooolish leaders.

Delta and bayelsa comes to mind.
Sometimes I wonder what they are smoking over there..

adelaja70:

A Yoruba man has every right to live anywhere in Yoruba land... Na Okoros go pack their Ghana must go Las las..

Get ready to relocate elsewhere in Yoruba land . Your little face-me -I slap you compound will soon be sold to an Edo investor. Just be free to relocate to Oni paraga , it is in Yoruba land and you are free to live there

Bayelsa state is just utterly useless. Even with all the oil nothing to write home about that state. Just hotels littered everywhere with no presence of factories or places to build up the teeming youths who are engaged in cults or criminality. And the most annoying thing is all the men do is to drink ogogoro and sing praises of the government after receiving crumbs. As for Delta state. I have nothing to say. That’s why boys have turned to Yahoo since nothing is working in the state.

Honestly bro.. Is a pity.
Bayelsa have all necessary resources to transit from a mediocrity to a world class state..
I always ask myself these questions..
Where do all the billions go?
And why should the state be in debt?.
Honestly bro it's truly heartbreaking.

The leaders loot and siphon it to foreign countries. That’s why they spend heavily on those Uni girls in the region.

Okoro meth. Go back to your cursed anambla. All yorubas are lagosians including unborn ones

Same sanwo that woke up one morning & banned them Gokada & co !!!

You have to remember that Lagos was once Nigeria's capital and as such had an added advantage over the other cities and states around the country.

In addition, Lagos remains the commercial capital of Nigeria as well as the entertainment capital of Nigeria. So it is not surprising that it attracts investment.

Lagos also has a Port where ships come in, several embassies and consulates, an international airport and many other things going for it as a city so I am not surprised.

I am not disagree with you but we should also commend the vision of Lagos leaders. Lagos is just a state in Nigeria, how is the country itself fare?

Already number 1 TECH country in Africa.

Parachoko:
You talk as if stinking and smelling gutter is all over Lagos.

Almost I went out today and basically gutter and filth from Yaba to gbagada in a way

A state that has been grounded by tinubu, looting and suicidal traffic jam. And yet sanwolu is opening his ignorant mouth

I concur with you that the human capital of Lagos contributed a lot to its growth and devlopment.
However,we should know that these human capitals that make up the state's population are from different tribes of the country.
So I am trying to understand what those commenting "yoruba this , yoruba that " on this thread really mean.

trutharena:


Oga the human capital in Lagos is what made it the Silicon Valley of Africa.

Rivers state generate lot of money also and what is there to show for it? Per capital, River state receive far more than Lagos revenue from the center and yet you won’t see them mention rivers as part of anything worthy of development Tech wise.

All this shout of Lagos was bla bla bla, why is Abuja not being the tech leader in Nigeria after all the billions invested in it by the FG? FCT was somehow built from the ground while Lagos has rich history of her Yorubaness and development even before it was used as FCT.

Lagos has her first port in the 1910-1930s, have been the trade route for Europeans and have done business with the rest of the world. Nigeria exploited Lagos due to her glory and not the other way round.

Below is a thread of Lagos economy in 1898 before Nigeria amalgamation. Can you show us the economy of your state, Rivers and that of Abuja? Clowns like you only hate what they can't achieve!

greymiles:

But igbos own 90% of the land and property there

Lol!!! It is 90% now, thought it was 100%, this is the effect of prolonged " sit at home on Mondays" on a flat skull.

They invest in female university education? That is good isn't it?

@trutharena,good shot! I admire the way you counter-punched their easy equation of Lagos being the former capital and all the other oft lazy and pompous rubbish held against accepting Lagos' new status. It's true it's the human resource that has put Lagos where it is. Human resource is much greater than all the natural resources combined.
My great grandfather,ABINA, contributed so much to the socio-political and economic development of Lagos. This was in the 1920s and 30s,when there were no Igbos or other tribes ,who irresponsibly claim to have developed Lagos. There were Ghanaians,Togolese and returnees from Brazil and Sierra Leone- the SAROS. He died in 1937.He had 61 houses on the Island and 35 on the mainland. But apart from him,there were other astute people like Herbert Macaulay,Abibu Oki ,the Sarumis etc. So,you're quite right . It's the human capital that had helped Lagos to develop its capacity as a pull for investors.

Lagos is a cosmopolitan city which doesn't belong to any tribe or group. Lagos is way above being defined by tribe. Be guided.

aribisala0:

Hahahaha which female education?

The Old men in IYC end up dating those universities girls and spend heavily on them.

Landmack:
Okay

Silicone valley of Africa with plenty agberos roaming the streets of Lagos.

Anambra has defeated agberoism...what is Lagos doing?

Oh agberos generate big big IGR for Lagos state

Inferiority complex!!! Always comparing with their cursed cities, when we are talking about serious issues stop talking about Anambra , Enugu etc, serious people that ought to develop those places have fled.....comparing Anambra to Lagos on any indicies should be declared as a crime punnishabe with castration.

Parachoko:
Maybe the area you live in Lagos.

You assume I live in Lagos

While Lagos (Nigeria) continues on the path to development and modernization, some people are doing sit-at-home, hoping to punish Jubril from Sudan in Abuja

Go and fix Onisha and leave Lagos for Yoloba

No truer words than this.

Bayelsa
Delta
Akwa Ibom

Are States that have highest number of corrupt leaders and elites.

They siphon and pocket public funds, leaving their enclave to rot to pieces.

Too bad.

carl90:
Lagos have beaten other states in Nigeria hands down.
Lagos is now aiming to be the tech hub of Africa.

Thanks to Igbos who are d real developers of Lagos.

Shut up please. What's in Lagos despite huge IGR and revenue being generated in the State? What has Lagos government done to address gridlock, inadequate housing and agberoism ravaging the metropolis?? Anambra presently is far livable and better than Lagos. Eleribu

Lightorder:
oga , go back to Oshogbo! You have no stake in Lagos. No job , you don’t pay tax and have little or no property in Lagos . So , who dey talk? 90% of the properties in my area, is now owned by settlers. Your brothers have almost sold their destinies. Shutup!

......lol says someone that came to Lagos via a petroleum tanker to escape from barbarians roaming his region, always chest beating over nothing. Your people do not have 15 % stake in Lagos, bring me a verified stat from Lagos State ministry of land and housing to back your claims or else shut your trap.
Empty vessels.

God bless Ndigbo for bringing huge investments and Real Estate development in Lagos.

Ekò óní bàjé, o bàjé tí.

Being going through some funny comments here....

Some of us forget that

Nigeria system only recognize Lagos as economic hub ; with the only functional sea and airport

Lagos has huge federal government presence

Lagos is technically design to be the hub of Nigeria... . Unlike in the US where states has equal chance of viability and growth...

This one doesn't have sense but I don't blame but the citizens who are clueless about what governance is all about.
How can you have a silicon valley in a dysfunctional state with poor infrastructures, bloated population most of who are either semi Illiterate or uneducated.
By the way,you need quality education at all levels especially in STEM disciplines to have a resemblance of graduates,who will spur industrial revolution backed by governmental support in terms of loans and critical Infrastructures.
Dumb leaders.
