Lagos will not come close to Akwa Ibom and other Niger Delta state if we practice fiscal federalism.Lagos wasn't made by Lagosians alone but by Nigeria and Nigerians

You be baby. The bridge was by the FGN.
So?

Thrash! Yenegoa is just a linear settlement. Ovom and co just seems cool outside but when u enter, the houses are not well planned.

Warri is just living on past glory, just look at refinery road beside the shoprite roundabout, the road is abysmal.

How can u compare PH to Abeokuta when u know PH enjoys 13% derivative over the years and Abeokuta is an administrative city. Between with the current development in d city, it will definitely compete with PH.

Cubeet:
I was asking you the question. Old Man.
Most of the development was when Lagos was the capital. Third Mainland was built by Ibb and Fg not the British

Cubeet:
Still Warri is far better than oshogbo.
Yenogoa is far better than Ado Ekiti

don't forget ur igr comes from tax on multinational corporations, Sea port n the centralization of all transportation to Nigeria in Lagos.

bakynes:

See this Osu igbo you think you are talking to a Yoruba Man that doesn't travel across Nigeria. Yenegoa is the worst state capital in Nigeria and you compare it to Oshogbo. Warri fine is OK but has lost its glory since militancy took over.

I don't think you know the difference btw contributions and Administration.
The Lagos state Governor, deputy,law makers, civil servants, commissioners and other administrators are Yoruba and they are the one doing all the works of construction and urban planning so who do you think developed the state the most.

I cannot excuse the contribution of foreigners especially Foreign nationals but when the FG abandoned Lagos where places like Oshodi where den of criminals, when all the streets where littered in waste and rubbish who brought Lagos back to its present status? The Lagos Administartors( Tinubu,Fashola and Ambode) so please shut up if you were too young to remember the Old Lagos when FG abandoned it to rot.

Once Eko Atlantic City construction finishes, all states in Nigeria should forget about catching up with Lagos. States that can get close are Ogun, maybe Anambra ( even at the moment, Ogun state still tip off Anambra).

Ogun state still lacks good policies but if a serious state regime can project solid plans to equip the state with most industries in the country, it has what it takes to come close to lagos.

wristbangle:


Have u been to osogbo of recent? Bros I travel well and I want you to mention 3places in osogbo.

Yenegoa and Ado Ekiti are almost the same.

ladiguy:


Did i mention the bridge was built by the British ?

Oxtonguy:
Lagos gat second largest reserve of bitumen only following ondo,what about oil men presently techno gas plant is the biggest in africa,and dangote is building a refinery said to be thd biggest in africa

Cubeet:
Brosi have been to Oshogbo, and I reside in Delta.
Warri is far better than Osogbo.
You will only make fool of yourself if you argue with me on that.

Everybody knows that Lagos is the only developed state in SW. Thats why every Afonja claims to be an indigene of Lagos even if he/she hails from the dirty village of Oshogbo

wristbangle:


I have travelled round SS region and I can only give credit to Benin city and PH.

Warri is living on past glory. The place is fast phasing out. Probably u have not visit Ogun (Abeokuta) and Oyo (Ibadan) of recent because I visited your region few weeks ago and everything seems to be stagnant.

Cubeet:
I was trying to take you serious until I got to "Abuja is not prospering". It shows you havnt been to Abuja .

omofunaab:



Am with you on this bro, ogun has the potentials to be great but with good and sustainable policies.

Amosun's first term was good but this second term is full of unnecessary distractions.

When amosun introduced BMT into the transport sector, I was happy because abeokuta needed something like that but taxi drivers in abeokuta threatened amosun that the buses was disturbing their daily income, amosun gave in and within two years that transport policy failed. Now we have hundreds of those buses parked aimlessly at Agbeloba.

Again his education policy was superb, the free education policy of giving out free textbooks and exercise books to both primary and secondary school students..many people withdrew their wards from private schools and enrolled them into public schools. It was good but the policy failed within three years of its commencement .


Again the unified examination policy in ogun state is not working because most teachers are lazy and they don't meet up with the syllabus and also the way the state government organizes the exams is nothing to write home about.
This unified exam is why most ogun public school students are not performing in very well in wassce and neco exams unlike their private counterparts

When i was in secondary school, my school afrograms and others like Abeograms, BBHS, AGGS, IGANMODE grammar school ,Mayflower ikenne, ijebu ode grammar school, ayetoro comprehensive school ,adeola odutola, our lady of apostles etc were competing for honors.. Any of these schools will likely produce best student in wassce exams all over west Africa .


Amosun really need to buckle up and do more and not expect people to praise him for what he is doing just because he feels he is doing better than other state governors. Ogun state indigenes know amosun can still do better than this.

Azin ogun state has the highest limestone deposit in Nigeria and after crude oil, Nigeria's next forex earner is limestone.

2019 ogun state needs someone with vision to continue from wherever amosun stopped.. Probably yayi or any other person with a broad mentality.. .i still prefer YAYI though because i want something similar that am seeing in Lagos and i know my state ogun has the potentials to be greater than what it's currently now

Cubeet:
Both Abeokuta and Ibadan combined can't be compared to Warri.

I have travelled round SW and I can only give credit to Lagos. Others are mere shitholes

omonnakoda:
What does going to Abuja have to do with what we are discussing on this thread.

Tell us what is the GDP of Abuja? What is the IGR of Abuja.

By "Prosper" we are talking of OUTPUT not INPUT . Tell us the economic output of Abuja rather than subject yourself to ridicule? What does going to Abuja have to do with anything? Can Abuja survive?

Before 1999 Lagos never had IGR over 500 million in one month .Now it generates more in ONE DAY. Lagos was not purposed built as a capital and did not have 1/4 of the input Abuja had.
Lagos prospers because it is by the sea.

Tell us the source of Abuja's "prosperity"?

Can Lagos Survive without the Non indigenes?
IGR from where? Tax.

Lagos is a commercial hub and expected to have high IGR. What do you mean by prosper? In terms of Infrastructural development, Abuja is Prospering.

Once more Lagos is nothing without non indigenes and remember it was once a capital city

omofunaab:



The guy no deserve mak person follow am argue

Very funny , even a warri indigene can't say the rubbish you are currently saying.

I can't even argue with you on this, e no worth am.

Imagine me arguing abeokuta vs warri or ibadan vs warri.

omofunaab:


Do you think lagos is thriving on dues collected from markets ?

Africonji:

Which Anambra? Is it that dirty Onitsha, or the glorified Awka village? Nowhere in Anambra can even match Owerri, Umuahia, Warri, or Port-Harcourt, not to talk of Abuja or Lagos when it comes to development. Stop this deception of yours my friend.

omofunaab:
Lagos is way ahead of all other states in Nigeria and lagos won't stop growing as long as it remains fully in the hands of progressives

I really don't see any state beating lagos in the nearest future unless lagos itself derails, most states in Nigeria are not focused ,some are spending huge amount of money on media propaganda.

The executive arm of lagos is full of technocrats, dishing out good polices

soulpeppersoup:


Vision can do it. Even Lagos has not articulated vision. It is just a product of accidental fortune. Nigeria as a whole lack vision for development.

If I may ask, what is Lagos vision for the next 10 year with realistic goals.
