this is your own version of ' How Europe Underdeveloped Africa'

Lagos is saturated the city cannot support the capacity. FG should build other places

I can't agree less.

Why did two people turn this thread to a personal insult thread.





Why?

Another round of Lagos bashing about to begin. It's not rocket science why Lagos keeps attracting people from everywhere. Na exceptional leadership and continuity dey make the difference. Until '99 Lagos didn't have so much to offer after it lost FG patronage as FCT to Abuja. But it's leadership since then went back to the drawing board and re-engineered her for greatness.

Why can't those other states whose people are migrating to Lagos in droves also create an enabling environment for not just their own local population but also others to find them attractive enough to move to?

LAGOS IS NOT UNDER DEVELOPING ANY STATE. EACH STATE WITH ITS CAPACITY.

WHAT WILL A LANDLOCK REGION GIVES OUT?

NORTH - KANO

WEST- LAGOS

SOUTH PORTHARCOURT

EAST - ?

That is d more reason why states should be in control of their resources,which i believe would lead to healthy competition's among states

Lagos gat no excuse to give, even if they are trying but they are still not up to the Lagos we want. the money spent is very small compared to the money they make. eko Atlantic taking years to build.. abeg jor

Lagos is cool but it lacks planning and population is killing it, cos politicians don't want to develop other states... Lagos can never look like cape-town or even Abuja the way it's structured.

Whatever rocks your boat. When your judgment is clouded with ethnic jingoism you tend to see everything that way.

GrandGarcon:
overtake lagos in terms of what? Dirtiness? Read that article again. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

and straight out of nowhere, you have brought your victim mentality to play. I still can't understand what biafra has got to do with this

Dear Money,

Due to fact, All the ethnic Groups in Nigeria have overwhelmingly agreed that it is only the IGBOS that have love for Money so much....Please Arise and Visit every IGBO person hustling Anywhere Across the Globe. Visit them in DOLLARS, in POUNDS, in EUROS, in NAIRA, and please do not visit any other Tribe because they keep denying you in Public, Amen..

All the useless state governors have failed to maximize the resources at their disposal to develop their own states and create oppurtunities to make it attractive for people to live and work there or make people living in Lagos to migrate. Sometimes they only focus on their state capitals as if other parts of their states are not under their jurisdiction.
States with ports have oppurtunities to attract trade there and decongest d ports in Lagos sadly they are not thinking in that direction. Oil producing states like Delta with all its allocations are so useless and has a port. In that same Delta state Aladja Steel complex which if revamped can make that part of Delta an industrial hub. The road to d dead refinery is in bad shape. States in d north has so much territory that 2 or 3 local government areas are as big as Lagos, yet poor infrastructure, perennial crisis that wud make industries to convert the agricultural produce into finished products are non existent. Ajaokuta in Kogi if revamped has all it takes to attract people to Kogi when they go there in search of job oppurtunities. Ogun state which is close to Lagos should ve taken advantage of its proximity to Lagos to develop yet the useless Amosun scattered Ogun with uncompleted projects that wud never be completed. These are things the useless Governors Forum ought to address rather all the useless Governors are on looting spree. In advanced climes apart from the capital and few major cities, responsible govts put infrastructure in place as it is in their capitals and in some cases less inhabited places including the countrysides or what we know as villages comes with it also low taxes unlike our villages that are like deserted places even worse than war ravaged places.
Believe me if all the Governors and all the politicians including their respective senators and house of reps deploy all the resources including their constituency project allowance to develop the areas they represent and even compete among themselves to develop their areas Nigeria wud ve been an Eldorado. Sadly, that is a dream and wud ever remain a dream. Rather, they use it to buy fleet of exotic cars and flaunt it before us like the thug Dino or jets which they use to fly to attend social functions like d last wedding of Babaginda's daughter were so many jets were seen.
Nigeria I wud continually say is forever doomed and beyond redemption.

Lagos this, Lagos that!

When everybody will not think, chart a prodigous self-determination chart for the future of their state/people and actually follow up with the right policy, people and practices for that!

Which one of all our states is not endowed? Nasarrawa is sitting on a goldmine of mineral resources yet they're crawling. Benue's grasshopper-brained governor is busy buying wheelbarrows for his bastard children? What we're all doing to ourselves is more than what any Lagos is doing to anybody. The NigerDelta had their prestigious son as president, enjoyed a lot of payoffs from the Oil Companies over the decades, filled NDDC with their people on top of Amnesty Programme and juicy positioning in the NNPC yet at the end of the day, it's still blame-laying and finger-pointing, who's fooling who?

People will just fiind something to bitch about and cause trouble with, shm

though your comment is right but your humour get me most

Heavily Biased article. ..

Nigeria has a natural resource oriented approach to developing a revenue base. Which is problematic on its own. Aside from that approach the states are not centrally positioned to be regulators of natural resources. It makes more economic sense to have a single legal framework for the exploration and exploitation of natural resources.

GrandGarcon:
Another nonsense! We are not taking about all parts developing at the same rate, it is to punnish Biafrans that the country was set up like this, all the sea ports in Nigeria except the lagos one are not functional, where in the east or in the niger delta will you find a true international airport? In those countries, airports are built when you have the means, but in Nigeria it is based on politics. Abegi forget that thing.

I was about quoting you and ask why you are saying nonsense on that guy's post. but when you said Biafra, I know why. you people love playing victim and it's not right. try channeling your energy better bro

This too generic a solution

Guestlander:


Your ranting has nothing to do with why Lagos is ahead of other states in development. You are just ranting foolishly for the sake of it.

but you get time o. they like insulting people too much

Ignore that guy. He is frustrated.

the governors of other state should sit up.

Op,

E be like say you want Awori VS Yoruba football clash here.

This writer is wrong. Like someone said, this is the writers version of africa blaming the white man for her woes. Lagos has used her competitive advantage maximally. For an economy to thrive, I dare say you do not really need much resource, but create an attractive and sustainable environment. This is where lagos and the west largely has succeeded. The Lagos we see today is as a result of long term planning.

hatred. but jokes apart. if you get to Anambra, you will see wonders. I served in IMO state. I wonder why these guys keep on ranting online instead of them to be promoting their culture so that people can come there

I wasn't shocked when I saw that the author of the article is a Biafran.


Oh God!!!!! Why do Biafrans have brains clouded with sense of entitlements? Where were you when Tinubu and Fashola generated money from Lagosians(through high tax rates)? Where were you when they developed the state to a mega city within 16 years? Did they come to your Biafra to collect money

See how this guy turned the thread from a Lagos issue to biafra. My guy use your Brain, it's there for a reason.

When ever I read "the Federal government should promote blah blah ......." I wonder if this federal government are spirits or from Mars. We are the Federal initiators of change. Any part of Nigeria that wants to attract investments most first sow the seeds and start... if external observers see that it's viable and the conditions are right, they come in to expand it. Eg Lagos has a major housing deficit, yet people where building houses in lekki, I have a friend that his father bought a land in aguda, I have another friend that his father sold his land in the same aguda...the one who sold is full of regrets. When people where investing in Lagos nobody ever thought lekki will appear or vi of which the old maroko slum was part of. Now seeing the real estate success, foreign investors together with local investors have appeared with Eko Atlantic City...this is because of the success locals had driven into the real estate sector.

So moral of the story is that this development is in our hands not the Federal government.
