If only Lagos can utilize all the resources at its disposal, it will be competing with New York and Dubai. But it is a glorified slum.

biaframaster200:


Kaduna and Calabar also used to be capital territory, why are these places not compete with Lagos state ....even one Stste in the East has also become a capital territory during the colonial Era. but not of them can compete with Lagos because....it is not by capital territory but by the quality of people domicile in that places ....ask yourself , if they move Federal territory out of Abuja to another place ...do you think abuja will be like Lagos state? Abuja will become another desert and territory of banditry that the northern territory is known for ...

The secret is that Yoruba people are unique among all the other ethnic group ...

Hedonisco:


Ewedu gulping illiterate. Tell us when exactly Calabar was ever "capital of Nigeria", and while at it, tell us when the entity currently known as Nigeria came into existence.

Lanrelagboi:

Update: Construction of OPEBI-MENDE Link Bridge and Approach Roads in Ikeja Local Government Area - Work Progress 85%.

Paraman:
If Lagos is a glorified slum, what will that make Anambra and Abia state?

Thonee:


Only f00ls will compare Lagos to Abia and Anambra state as you do.
I am not Igbo but i respect those people bcuz the civil wàr took everything away from them but they built themselves and today they're far better than several states that didn't experience what they went through.
Anambra state has the most upstairs in Nigeria, at i have passed through the state while traveling for sometimes now & it's all owned by them.
You can't say that about Lagos & Abuja do rest with ur tribalistic remark.

You are the ones arguing against what is obvious. Lagos state was never FCT. Only Lagos Island, Ikoyi and a part of VI was FCT. Ikeja, Opebi, Magodo, Oshodi, Agege, Yaba, Mushi, Lekki, Ajah, Ikorodu, Epe, Ketu, Abule Egba, Iju Ishaga etc were part of western region and not your utopia FCT. Stop the nonsense misinformation. Only two local governments out of the current 20 LGAs in Lagos state was FCT.

Odingo1:

You need to understand how Abuja been the capital of Nigeria help to develop nearby villages into mega cities in Abuja. This is common reasoning. Must all those places you mentioned be part of federal capital territory. Is qwagwalada, inyanya part of Abuja fct before development reach there.

What is the distance from VI to Ikeja, Festac town was built by FG including Alaba, Ikeja, third mainland bridge was developed as satellite town of Lagos FCT, stop lying to yourself.

Odingo1:
Lagos was the former capital of Nigeria for more than 30 years, all oil Nigeria money was invested invested in Lagos to make a befitting capital. Calabar was just a capital for few years before almagamation of Nigeria. That is what gave Lagos a lead as most developed state, the same way Abuja is been built with Nigeria wealth.

if Yoruba are city builders why didn't they build uo Ogun that is near Lagos ...the way Igbo are building up cities near Onitsha and Enugu

biaframaster200:


Whichever way Ogun and Osun state look like ....we are pleased with our region ..Togo, sierra Leone, Liberia , ivory coast , Liberia etc doesn't have enough mansion as you have in your Ibo region but they cherish their country as it is .....but your region have many mansions .yet not secure to live in ....the region. Is filled with criminals , terrorists, ritualist , Kidnappers , internet fraudsters, deadly weapons , hire killers and any evil things you can think of in this life. The whole southwest is filled with Ibo refugee who see our region as a greener pasture for survival ....The best of Ibo companies are in the south west ....why can your political leaders and the elders of the land decide to make at least of the Ibo state a hub for commerciallization like Dubai where people all over the world will love to do business and tourism ...

You are here asking one stupid question....shame on all your Ibo kings , political leaders and the entire IBO confederation. ...

The Aboki people prefer to go Kano, Kaduna or Abuja than to come Lagos state..so also the Niger Delta people also prefer to remain in their land...but IBO people are ready to go anywhere and do anything for money including buying and selling their kidney for money .... saw one Ibo boy saying he hailed from Lagos state...now ask the person, what is your family name in Lagos? ....shame on you ...
.more of boastful attitude but nothing to show for it...charity begins at home.....

As I'm typing this text ...some Ibo people are being loaded in the cement truck in your Ibo land wanting to come to the south west ...for survival ..shame on you ....

ALTERNATEID:


You are a complete olodo. FCT is made up of six area councils namely: AMAC, Bwari, Kuje, Kwali, Gwagwalada and Abaji. All these areas are in Abuja and part and parcel of the Federal Capital Territory Administration. They don’t fall under any other state except Abuja. Nyanyan is under AMAC area council.

Your ignorance is appalling and disgraceful. You should not be taking when enlightened people are talking. Western region and Lagos state governments developed Ikeja, Ikorodu, Yaba, VI, Lekki, Magodo etc and not FCT.

ariesbull:
yoruba land is secured yet 3 kings (Oba) were kidnapped this year and one of their wives killed

Some of your villages have flee cos of herdsmen ...
Shame on you

Lindlady:
Lagos was a former capital territory.

Skydivine:

Do you know what it means to have seaport, SEC , central bank, all federal ministries, Dondan barracks, MMIA, National studium, head office of all oil companies, etc in one small location ( land mass) like Lagos?

biaframaster200:


Now, compare what you have mentioned to the level of exodus from the eastern region to the south west region ....some of your brother's and sisters are here in the southwest ....ready to do anything for survival including snatching phone at the gun point , robbing innocent people, your sister's are here doing prostitutes....nearly all Ashewo spots or brothels in the southwest have your sister's trading their body for money ....How many Yoruba ladies are in your brothel in the east ....

But flood happened in the same Dubai this year now. Abi you no dey read news even though you no travel.

hardbody:


Lol @ traveller.

Social media allows everyone to run mouth and claim whatever they choose.

Read some of my posts here and you will come to terms with the fact that you may never do half the trips I have done till you leave this realm. Its not bragging, the nature of my job exposes me to it and Yes, they pay all the time.

ariesbull:


Which Yaba ...is it the one that I know from Unilag (Akoka) to Iddo na one stories Lagos Sabi build apart from Island and Ikeja ...surulere , FESTAC na all one story maybe forget Apple Junction side and 2 rainbow where Igbo reside

my guy if you go Onitsha and east you go see high-rise buildings from 4 stories upwards everywhere where residents live

East has the most built up cities in west Africa...Oga no dey compare na true


You no dey even shake say you dey use Lagos the former capital for years to compare Onitsha city that isn't capital

babsbolad:
I'm not even here to brag with you about wherever you have been to or your next itineraries, I have just stated a fact and you started blabbing nonsense. Oh! That shows that you were only bitter about the city you downgraded online. And for your information, not everyone here on nairaland you can spit that rubbish out of your mouth saying where you'd been and no one else can't. That's a clear indication that you're from a village/place where obviously you regard yourself as the best in your clan/lineage. A man with one eye is the king among the blinds. Werey, Ajala travel!
