Hehehe

Your monicker means this?

Lagos was federal capital until it was abandoned to the Yoruba in 1993 after the June 12 election annulment and your oso Abiola campaign.

Many of you and your relatives were trooping out of Lagos State to your states. You left our state because you thought it was over for us.

We toiled extremely hard to overcome the adversities, filth, bomb blasts, OPC/Hausa wars, bar beach flooding, state-sponsored assassination of Yoruba leaders etc and we voted Asiwaju Tinubu to lead the recovery of our state. We learnt the hard way that if we don't use our head you will abandon us again so we started building our own ports, airports, bridges, hospitals, power plants etc

Hassanmaye:

Hàha You are a bhad guy

Shikena:
Spot on!

June 1993, most Igbos were jumping in great fear on any available 911 truck heading towards Sagamu for safe passage to Upper Iweka hub. The few richer ones entered the luxurious buses. The fear fear behaviour was funny but not surprising

Hassanmaye:

I don't agree, Igbos have take over Lagos businesses, almost all the major businesses and plazas are owned ɓy them, Yorubas are touts

DMerciful:
You belong to the old ways

Oga give me a break you guys did nothing abeg Lagos is what it is because it was a former federal capital, there was nothing fantastic you did or anyone did there, If for anything you guys have degraded Lagos, at a time Lagos was for ahead of cities like Nairobi, Accra Dakar and other prominent cities in Africa, but right now can you confidently say that Lagos is ahead of these cities? the answer is No.
Please focus on your freestuff business and stop this show of deceit. I think you need to be gainfully employed not this nonsense you are doing.

Lagos State’s gross domestic product (GDP) is estimated at $137 billion – $145 billion. Forget whether it is fourth or fifth largest on the continent, pay attention to what that size means: Bigger than Kenya’s $113.4 billion econom, Ghana’s $74 billion GDP, and Ethiopia’s $127 billion economy.

Every serious business has its headquarters or at least a major branch in Lagos. Headquarters of all the major financial institutions from banks to insurance companies are in Lagos.

Whether you are a foreigner or Nigerian, I urge you to please bring your investments to Lagos State.
Your investments are safe and you're guaranteed of a working business environment with great returns on investment and the best investor-friendly experience in Nigeria and Africa.

Please join others already doing so.
Lagos is the right place to site your investments. You, your family and investments are safe in Lagos.

We overcame all the adversities of dilapidated/obsolete failed eyesore FG infrastructures, ghost town Lagos CBDs, filth, bomb blasts, OPC/Hausa wars, ravaging Atlantic Ocean, state sponsored assassination of Yoruba leaders etc when the rest of Nigeria abandoned Lagos for their Yoruba host after the annulment of June 12, 1993 and relocation of federal capital away from Lagos. They trooped en masse to their villages and states mocking us that it was over for us. Today, we are happy that we reveresd things in Lagos and it is no more Oso Abiola in Lagos, it's now reverse. Our state is now courted by same people and their descendants who mocked Lagos then. We and our parents did it! We are grateful to God and few other Nigerians and foreigners who stood by us during the low ebb period of our city. We are building our own Lagos state-owned state of the art world class ports, bridges, teaching hospitals, airports etc today.

If you are a non-Yoruba, when you relocate your investment to Lagos, my advice for you is to stay off the local Lagos Yoruba politics, do not go into illegitimate and criminal business, face your investments, give back to your Lagos host community in form of corporate social responsibility, do not destroy the environment, respect and live at peace with your Yoruba host and watch how Yorubaland will bless you , your family and investment with great returns far beyond your expectations!

This is the best time for you to relocate your investment to Lagos.

Like your Anioma uncle Ifeanyi Okowa abi.

blacknp:
100% Resource control indeed, Mr Man please stop deceiving yourself, without Federal free allocation from oil Delta state cannot pay their workers you are telling me about resource control?

What happened to the money from palm-oil, rubber, cassava and other agro allied products of the big heart state exported for forex, not mentioning internal generated revenue from taxation, wetin una take the money do?

DMerciful:
I did not support Okowa 2023 even though we're from same place but supported Obi 100% and will support him in 2027.

Obi is a man of impeccable integrity

DMerciful:
You accuse my state of collecting Abuja money, I said I don't want...you are angry. You're confused

Zwooks:
Lies. No state manufactures poverty like Lagos

Sapasenator:
The fact remains that he worked his butt off in order to succeed. Nothing was handed over to him on a platter of gold.

It is understandable that Lagos might have provided an enabling environment but Lagos did not make him rich.

There are millions of Lgosians who are living from hand to mouth for decades, why are they never rich or is their own Lagos different?

tunjijones:


Sharap.. why didn't he go to aba. And he choose to come to Lagos from bayelsa state...

blacknp:
Who are you, who cares what you want, or what u don’t want in the big heart state?

blacknp:
It is your prerogative, Gringory Obi will never be president of The Federal Republic of Nigeria.

There is no political path to Aso Rock for Ndigbo until 2039, thanks again to the Apga Judas/Pdp runaway.

Honestly only God knows the number of kids on this forum.
If Lagos provides enabling environment what else do you need?
Whoever told you everybody will be a millionaire in this life? Is being a millionaire a measure of wealth.
If you are living comfortably, taking care of your needs and family what else?
American for example is a land of opportunities yet there are still rich, average and poor people. Make una try to grow up!

Telecoms giants such as MTN, Airtel, Globacom are in Lagos. Investment banks, importers, exporters, maritime companies, big farmers, oil and gas companies, among others, are in Lagos.

The Nigerian Exchange Limited is in Lagos. Government regulators such as the Nigerian Ports Authority, and many others, are in Lagos.

Lagos has the highest concentration of small businesses in Nigeria, with about 8 percent share of over 40 million MSMEs. According to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) and the Small and Medium Enterprise Development Agency of Nigeria (SMEDAN) 2017 data, Lagos has 3.224 million small businesses.

Stable governance

Governance in Lagos has been stable. Only one political family of President Bola Tinubu has ruled the state from 1999 till today. From Tinubu himself to Babatunde Fashola, down to Akinwumi Ambode and Babajide Sanwo-Olu, all have been from the same political party.

Tax revenues have risen from N14.6 billion in 1999 to N651.2 billion in 2022. The state generated N400 billion in the first six months of 2023, the NBS said.

Investors are also betting on the state. Out of a total of N508.98 billion real sector investment made in Nigeria in 2017, Lagos received N235.61 billion, representing 46 percent, the highest in the country, according to data by the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN).

Of the N552.64 billion investment in 2018, Lagos welcomed N287.16 billion, representing 52 percent, highest in Nigeria. Also, of a total of N496 billion investment made in 2019, Lagos received N180.63 billion, representing 36 percent, the highest in the year.

“Stability has helped Lagos retain its masterplan and economic blueprint,” said Ifeanyi Okeleke, CEO of Kenfrancis Farms.

“It sends a positive signal to investors that things can’t suddenly[b][/b] turn upside down. However, it has also upended the opposition in the state.”

What drives Lagos

It is easier to identify why Lagos is working. A population of about 20 million is seen as a big market. Of all the 16 million international passengers airlifted in 2022, about 6.526 million, representing 40.3 per cent of the total passenger volume, passed through Murtala Mohammed Airport Lagos, said the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA). The seaports are in Lagos.

“The population of Lagos is huge and concentrated. If you are a city of ports, naturally, economic activities will increase. Also, Lagos is a coastal city, and coastal cities are a magnet because their position boosts economic activities,” Yusuf, earlier quoted, said.
