caracas:Then why were they begging for certificate of occupancy during the World Igbo Day held in Lagos? "Onwughalu said that the Igbos in Lagos have been neglected by this administration, because none of them were considered as members of Ambode, s cabinet despite the fact that they own 50 percent of the lands in Lagos.He however pleaded with governor Ambode to grant Certificate of Occupancy to the landlords in order to build their confidence." https://www.nairaland.com/3377766/ambode-obiano-ugwuanyi-tinubu-others |

Dasuks: It depends on what u mean by dominance. But yea they got their 'dominance' because of their styles of governance For example when a hausa/fulani conquers a town they 'colonise' it... force their religion, culture and language down the communities throats. Now the benin kingdom didn't do that much...they preferred 'tributes'. Tho they'd station soldiers there and maybe a bini prince will run it but that area usually retained their culture, language n values. I'm sure that's same style the oyo empire did (not sure) |

arresa: Ode ni e. At your age you don't know that any state/country that serves as transit route for goods/services attract investment opportunity and revenues growth. That is why bank and industry wants to stay close to Lagos. Why do you think Benin Republic is generating so much income from their seaport. https://www.today.ng/business/191937/freight-forwarder-decries-loss-revenue-benin-republic-port The only thing blockheads like you think about is useless tribal Politics 3 Likes 1 Share |

Abuja is truly a "pampered child" if we want to be sincere with ourselves. God! U need to be in the FCT to see things for urself. The security, infrastructures... It makes me wonder why the absolute federal neglect of other states. |

caracas: This is the dumbest question ever on NL. Let me give you a little history since obviously they did not teach you any in elementary school. To start with, to assume that there was no banks in Lagos before independence was just ignorance and mental laziness. Nearly all the skyscrapers on broad street and marina before independence were banks and financial institutions Agbonmagbe bank now known as WEMA bank established in 1945 is the longest surviving indigenous Nigerian bank. And there are many others like.. First bank Barclays Bank Union bank and so on. Industrial estates responsible for a major share of Nigeria's industrial output before and after independence were established in Lagos before independence by the old western region led by Awolowo. Ikeja industrial estate Apapa industrial estate Mushin industrial estate Ilupeju industrial estate Matori industrial estate These estates were all on the mainland before Nigeria and independence. Lagos as the F capital was confined to Lagos island and not the mainland which was totally western region 1 Like |

Tex42: That comment really provoked the Northern senators. Because the same money spent on FG projects in Lagos was spent in Abuja. And most of these funds can for Crude oil. The Northern elites and Politicians know this, because they ruled Nigeria more than every other group. If you claimed Abuja is a pampered child, what will you call Lagos. 3 Likes 3 Shares |

Even sef, the clowns in Abuja can keep their money, Lagos is and shall remain the most prosperous, richest, developed and innovative in Nigeria and across Africa... Funny with the gloating and ranting Igbos, when Nigeria finally dabaru, the North go keep Abuja while the SW keep Lagos while Igbos keep nothing but their village.... The joke is always on them, but they are too clueless, bitter, angry and bigoted to see it. ![]() ![]() 2 Likes |

naijalander: Is the Niger Delta and the oil companies making a killing out of their lands all owned and filled by only Niger Deltans? Are all the oil Wells in that region owned by Niger Deltans alone? Lagos on its own is already generating hundreds of billions of Naira and does receive high allocation after oil producing states like Akwa Ibom, Rivers, so why ask for more? What have they done with what they have been receiving before? Judging by how small Lagos is, presently, it should be competing with London and New York in terms of development but alas, it isn't. Instead of you to be weary of the Tinubus and their unparalleled taste to impoverish the masses, you're here defending them. Tinubu has tried all possible ways to take over SW, National Assembly, and Nigerian at large but all plans failed so he decided to still use his wife and a few moles to further project his selfish ambition. If the greedy and foolish woman and her husband had championed resource control, then we'd have believed their intentions to be genuine but it's always of the contrary.. 2 Likes 1 Share |

seunmsg: Seun, Thank you for bringing up this angle. The root of the issue lie in disparity of the federal allocation formula. Lagos has more population than any other state in Nigeria. It also has the highest population of migrants from neighbouring countries. You can add up the entire population of SE states and the figure will still be far below the population of Lagos. Take Kano out of NW and the population left in the remaining six states is not up to that of Lagos. We should not even talk of NE zone,they have been depopulated by bokoharam. NC is the only zone that will compete population with Lagos. All the IDPs running from kidnapping, robbery, ritual killing, poverty, environmental disaster and land erosion, baby factories in SE and SS have fled, with their families and relatives to Lagos for safety and security. The IDPs escaping bokoharam, poverty, religious persecution, childhood marriage, have fled NW and NE to come to Lagos for refuge. So given this, Lagos is at risk of a monunental environmental disaster. Lagos has involuntarily been helping the other five zones of the federation to care for the welfare needs of the citizens they lack capability and competence to protect, shelter and feed. Meanwhile these zones continue to be compensanted at parity rate on the federal allocation funds. The scale is not balanced. Hence the need for review and modification of allocation to Lagos or the granting of a special status in recognition of the role it plays in the lives of indigenes from other zones. 3 Likes 1 Share |

OBAGADAFFI:Guess u are right. Lagos had her own fare share of Federal presence/attention before now and think she is still enjoying some till date.
