....you see this westerners think they're smarter than the rest of the country..
And that's why they always have issue..

What kind of bill gives lagos 1/ of nation revenue..yet when the NDA or naija delta agitators make demands...

Genuine demands that will see to development of the nation's life line.

This same westerners will player hate and support port military invasion. but will want 1/ given to lagos.

So where are the gonna get the 1/ from,even if?



You see greed and ignorance..

oil producing areas currently get 13% derivation, besides 1% of oil companies budget that is allocated to the NDDC. I think it is in the interest of development to also spread the same initiative to communities where other critical resources are obtained e.g solid mineral, hydro electric power, coal, industrial clusters, major technology hubs e.t.c. Lagos acounts for a huge proportion of the non-oil receipts Nigeria earns, if the desire to increase our non-oil receipts is genuinely desired, special attention has to be paid to Lagos and other states that have proven their ability to deliver.
If Lagos falters, Nigeria will be in a long recession.

As for ur ethinic jibe, I think its myopic to see everything as an ethnic war

MayorofLagos:


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.




Please can you give us a standard fact instead of all these bogus claim you are ranting upandan... Sire

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.

For me I'll love to see the federal government carryout capital projects in other states, especially in the area of town/city planning, road and utility networks.


More than 80% of the infrastructure in Lagos came from the FG.

From stadiums, airports, FESTAC, seaports, road networks, e.t.c they are all from the FG.

Story of TINAPA is an evidence of the lopsided nature of Nigeria.

Imagine TINAPA is located in the SW the story will have been different.

You mean the yoruba Oduduwa that ordinary women soldier from Dahomey captured a part of there land which is Lagos, Benin also conquered Lagos from yoruba againg.

Fulani captured Kwara and almost turned Oyo to an Islamic Caliphate if not for the intervention of the British.

Yorubas are cowards they threaten to fight today, when you come for fight they serve you food. That was what they did to Ado the prince of Benin Kingdom hen they challenged there father to fight, on getting there they asked him to be there King. Read History and stop talking trash.

Before the Amalgamation of Nigeria Yorubas were alien to us so i don't know the west Africa you captured.

Lagos as a former federal capital territory deserves a special status for the purpose of revenue sharing in order to manage the huge challenges that was inherited from the relocation of the country's capital. This is in line with best practises all over the world. But unfortunately, tribalism, hatred and outright jealousy will not allow the law makers take the right decision.

Laos isn't the only former Federal capital territory of Nigeria, so what happens to other states that once house Nigeria as her seat of power.

Trash...Dahomey captured no part of Yorubaland rather they used to be under the Oyo empire.

Fulani captured Kwara and almost turned Oyo to an Islamic Caliphate if not for the intervention of the British.

Hogwash...Fulanis overthrew Afonja rule in Ilorin not Kwara state.
Further expansion by the Fulanis down south was halted by brave Ibadan warriors at Oshogbo with the Fulanis beating a hasty retreat to where they came from.

Rubbish...a very troubled Oyo empire at the brink of falling apart couldnt protect Lagos from ravaging Dahomey warriors. Hence, the appeal to Ado from Benin for protection.

The people in calabar, looks and every corner of Nigeria troop to Lagos for survival and not to Calabar, looks or even FTC.

Lagos state is the smallest state and it shoulders Nigeria's problems across the board, they stretches infrastructures and social amenities that the state have to maintain endlessly, more schools, more health facilities, more on roada, bridges and transportation and so on.

Lagos is a productive state while abuja is non productive, FTC is a place where people sit around to consume 80% of our budget as recurrent expenditure and still contributes nothing in terms of GDP.


You would think these thoughtless people are not short-sighted enough to deny their own golden goose that lays the wings, the same state responsible for their own growth and productivity and even largest infustrial output.

Sane and progressive countries do everything under the sun to support their commercial capitals because they are vital to their future and economic well being, but not in backward countries like Nigeria.

They obviously though they denied Lagos, but they actually denied themselves and Nigeria as a country.
