That's why Lagos state population went from 6m in 2005 to over 15m in 2015 within just 9yrs.

When you are done deceiving yourself, you will wake up.

How far

Was it worth it?

Theflint1:
El-Rufai that implemented the IGR model of Lagos was the same person that compared Lagos to hell.

There's a reason you hardly hear these governors make mention of implementing Lagos' policy on education, public health care, waste management, urban planning, housing, or pollution control. Tinubu is a good tax collector, but he's poor at creating livable cities.

The law is a right move in the right direction .

Why will u be living in a civilized world and enjoying the privileges of living in a civilized world only for u to be promoting terrorism ?

If u want to promote terrorism maybe u should go and live with the terrorists themselves and enjoy the ideals of terrorism . Put mouth where ur money is ; don’t support them from afar when u can do it right at home with them.

As at 2006 Census, Lagos' population was over 9m, it's just over 20m today...Nigeria's population between that period grew by over 50%...there's nothing exactly special in Lagos' population growth trend vis a vis the rest of the country. I'm sure you'd find a lot of states in the country that have grown their population from 2006 by 110% like Lagos did.

BlueRayDick:


Kudos to Ruto for doing the honorable thing- FOLDING by Listening to the voice of the people.

I think one thing that worked to the advantage of the people in Kenya is that the country is one with no single dominant tribe like we have in Nigeria. The country is one with several minority tribes unlike where have like 3 dominant tribes which makes it easy for politicians and leaders to always use tribalism to divide the people.

El Rufai can compare Lagos to hell yet thousands of Kaduna indigenes are leaving his paradise to live in Lagos that is hell

Lagos is not a livable city yet every bus park in every capital city in Nigeria has dozens of buses daily heading to this hell Lagos

I'm sure if you checked a lot of these cities in Africa I compared to Lagos, they have a significant part of the country's population in those cities compared to those living in the rest of the country, for example Namibia has about 25% of the country's population living in Windhoek, while Lagos houses just about 10% of Nigeria's population.

Lagos is populated not necessarily because of the failings of the governors from other 35 states nor because Tinubu and his cronies are performing some special magic, it's populated because of its geographical advantages, it's historical advantages as capital of Nigeria for the longest, and the advantages it enjoys as the defacto economic capital of the country.

Lagos state government didn't build the Apapa port. The Federal government should help others get their first working port too and decongest the lagos port.

The Lagos Port Complex also referred to as Premiere Port (Apapa Quays) is the earliest and largest Port in Nigeria. It is situated in Apapa, Lagos State, the commercial center of Nigeria. The Port was established in 1913 and construction of the first four deep water berths commenced in 1921. The Apapa Port is well equipped with modern cargo handling equipment and personnel support facilities making her cost effective and customer friendly. It enjoys intermodal connection – Rail, Water and Road. It boasts of four wheel gate of about 8 meters for oversize cargoes and this has given the Port an edge over others in the handling of oversized cargoes.

But the US government is also promoting terrorism by
supporting and backing Ukraine's neo nazi group. They should pick a side and stand by
their words. You cannot promote and support terrorist groups thousands of metres and kilometers away from your national boundaries to destabilize sovereign states and be complaining when the citizens of these countries flood your country.

You destroy Libya, destroy Iraq, destroy Syria, Palestine yet you don't want their citizens in your country. Na ment dey worry you.

Theflint1:
All these agencies yet it's one of the most unlivable cities in West Africa?

BlueRayDick:


How does US providing military aid funding to Ukraine(an ally defending itself against an aggressor) the same as supporting terrorism?

Which kind mumbo jumbo false equivalence be this ?

Anybody that wants to support terrorism should go and live with the terrorists and side with them in flesh and blood

liveLongNprospa:


Yeah this.
My prayer is the citizens avoid tomorrow's protest and the president has to look for a way to atone for the death of those heroes that died to make this come to pass.
He just has to do something sha

Its unlivable yet you and 20million people are living there?? How come?

Just answer this question honestly as a Nigerian.

Is Lagos the worst city to live in Nigeria?

el rufai's heavenly state has become a haven for bandits who rob , rape and murder with impunity while he made empty statements and threats

The British who were in charge of the country did.

Pre Tinubu Lagos was probably 6m now 20M. Population of this unlivable place has grown almost 3.5times since Tinubu took over the reigns of Lagos

Maybe that is why Asue wants to follow the Lagos model

The British also created Port Harcourt refinery too and Calabar ports as well.

okpa has still refused to run to russia to earn rubles and knack russian chicks in a simple military operation that requires stamping on a comedian

I'm sure if you go to Nigeria of 1960, you'd still find that Lagos had the highest population density, that it's becoming more dense and increasing in population doesn't mean other states in the country aren't growing in population and becoming more dense.

In 20 years Lagos' population grew by 110%
In 20 years Edo State's population grew by 60%

I'm sure you'd have other states that their population grew by about same percentage if not more than Lagos in the past 20 years.

My point is simple, the Tinubu model isn't helping Lagos become a more livable city, so while there are positives to pick from the model, generally, it's been a failure if you're judging by the quality of living the people are getting there.

Tinubu can't be bandying a model that has failed and encouraging other states to adopt or look up to the model...we can see how that model has crumbled Nigeria. States are better served looking to other West African or world cities to model themselves after than they are looking to a model that makes cities rank low in quality of living.

Lagos was the capital for a long time and enjoyed federal attention more than any other state. The government should help other states secure a standard port and Lagos will be significantly decongested within 10 years.

Lagos has more opportunities than any other part of the country, it was like this before Tinubu.
