I think he's trying to say that there aren't 10 developed local areas or even one outside of Lagos. Debatable, however it bothers me that almost all current investment, including private investment, is directed towards Lagos when the country needs more regional economic hubs. Part of the reason that Lagos is overrun and overpopulated is this mentality. If more investment could be directed towards Aba, Port Harcourt, Kaduna, Maiduguri, Jos, Ibadan etc you would see more growth across the country and fewer people running to one single city. Some of this is out of anyone's hands since you cannot force private investors to go where they don't see a return on investment. But you can invest government funds in different regions in order to make those regions more attractive so that the private sector can finish the job. Look at what China did by with their regional economic zones. It could be said that there were only three economic hubs in that country twenty years ago and two of them weren't even technically part of China. Now Hong Kong will have to soon fight just to remain among China's top ten investment destinations. I like the project in Eko Atlantic, for example, but a similar project elsewhere would help Nigeria more.

At any rate, I'm glad that the OP is proud of his state, but how about wishing for the country's growth, the uplifting of a nation that can be an example for all of Africa. It would not only aid Nigeria, but ease the congestion in Lagos as well.

8.Calabar municipal - A moderately dense LGA in Cross rivers state , it is known for its green reserves with large percentage of it land area reserve for green space, The roads are well paved, paving way for easy bike rides which makes it carbon emissions impressive with better air quality. Calabar tinapa, Obudu cattle range resorts are nice torrist attraction.
It a popular destination for enjoying beach games, forest walk, mountain sports and other resorts.

All these lies you are sharing there is God oo.. *I can't believe all these photos are from Nigeria*

Danielnino00:




Why You think Nigeria isn't developed at all??

cremedelacreme:
Fair list. Bonny LG is rich due to NLNG Plant in Bonny. Apart from NLNG Residential Area and a small part of Finima town, the other parts of Bonny are majorly rural comprising of mainly fishing villages, also it is not all parts of Bonny LG that have 24hr electricity. Pls remove that picture of Obio/Akpor showing road/flyover interchange because that place is not Port Harcourt.

where re other states wen lagos was topping all the list sometin is wrong with ur country

martineverest:
from ur ascertions and op ascertion,i can see that u two are wrong......ikeja is by far the richhest region in nigeria.tho,its not the most developed,but its the most industrial region in nigeria....the GDP of eti osa is twice lesser than ikeja GDP

Fifthcolumnist:


You're probably right. The thing is we don't know the criteria use by the OP. If it's natural resources I bet u some abandoned community somewhere in akwa ibom would top that list. If it's IGR Obia Kpor or Eti Osa may top the list but if it's Infrastructure wise in relation to resident population. That list would have to be tossed out the window entirely

Henrydone:
Of the 250 plus tribes in Nigeria, so I automatically become an Afonjas just because your local government area is not on the list. You can be so judgmental

martineverest:
development is based on industrialization... Not natural resources

9.Ibadan North west - Situated in the center of the cocoa belts, in Oyo state it's one of the first class developing regions in the country with the first skyscraper, first television station in the whole of tropical Africa. The first railway line in Nigeria the Lagos-Ibadan rail ends here in 1901. It is the economic hub for Oyo state with notable business going in the LGA with some numbers of tall buildings. It has a good number of housing estates. With most of the roads well tarred.

Deadlytruth:


Lagos was initially not so privileged. The dismantling of our federalism in the first republic led to the overconcentration of the economy on Lagos being the centre to which all revenues became directed at the death of federalism/resource control in 1966.

omoISEYIN:


you are right my brother, the truth is all investors seek healthy and enabling environments. Dango originally wanted to build his refinery in the Niger Delta region, because of the unrest there he moved it to lagos.
Shell is also planning of moving out of Niger Delta.
Mobil, one of the highest paying oil company defy FG's demand to move from lag.
Same with Kaduna, you can only find food processing coy in Jos co of its proximity to raw material.
Lagos provides that environment for biz to grow.

Please Ibeju lekki is not in any way more developed than many other LGA in Nigeria... Apart from Awoyaya area of Ibeju lekki, which part of ibuju lekki is developed?.. Ibeju lekki is predominantly a rural area
