THE ARTICLE WAS WRITTEN BY AN IBO MAN.

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 - ?

darfay:


The article is very correct. in Nigeria even after living in ondo and schooling in Benin you must come to Lagos for ordinary white collar job
Every city in the countries you mentioned have their competitive advantage Chicago is as big a financial centre as NYC while Texas is a good rival to California. In Germany Frankfurt,Berlin,Hamburgetc
The article is spot on no excuse for Lagos dominating a large country like Nigeria

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.

Guestlander:
I think what we are seeing regarding Lagos is true for many other countries, for Germany it is Bavaria, for USA it is California, China the Guangdong region, Canada it is Ontario. Lagos is not underdeveloping the rest of Nigeria it is actually doing the opposite.

mandax:
Op,

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

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

GrandGarcon:
Oh yes, No wonder when Biafra is mentioned, your private part becomes erect.

IkediEbubes:


All these Biafra noisemakers, who is holding you from forming your country? You all troop to the SW and North and still scream biafra online, leave the SW and go form your country, no one is holding you. Rubbish

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





Why?

davodyguy:
Article from a pained igbo man.

You had Otedola, Oyinlola, Marwan and then Tinubu.

Tinubu through the help of obj seizing the allocation, decided to think out of the box, refused to decamp, when he was the only opposition governor in the Southwest, fighting Almighty PDP.

Tinubu opened his brain to seek out money making alternatives, which other 35 states governors can't or couldn't do.

Against all odds, he imposed a certain BRF on us, leaving out Koro, Femi Pedro, afikuyomi, Jimi Agbaje, etc

BRF showed us how to be a good governor.

Same Tinubu imposed Ambode on us.
Ambode is doing all he can to out perform BRF.

Same Tinubu imposed Osinbajo on us, VP is doing well.

Can't wike, Obiano and co do what Tinubu did?

Peter obi and Obiano are fighting,

Feel sorry for other states.
They should sell their birthrights to Tinubu, for him to help them

eyinjuege:
I think it's a challenge to other States.
Everyone should start holding their state governors accountable.
Lagos only began to grow in leaps and bounds in the face of opposition under Tinubu, as governor then.
For years, Lagos was excluded from federal allocation under Obasanjo's administration but still managed to survive and began thinking outside the box.
So opposition is always a good thing for development. That's the only thing I find worrying about some opposition states who are not doing so much in terms of devt, but are sharing rice about.
Nigerians need to wake up!
Anyone that shares rice, recharge card and all manner of things in the next election should be stoned. Infact, it should be made a punishable offence with a penalty of immediate disqualification from the elections.
Let people start voting with their brains now.

I don't live in those dirty places bro, if yoh live there, what is my business? Ta Gbafuo, mkpi arusi.

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

Dirty places where your kinsmen are ready to die just to live there, villagers like you amuse me. Tell your over million kinsmen to leave and stop crying online while pouring smelly spits everywhere with that gutter language you spewing.

GrandGarcon:
mr man stop talking nonsense. In the US you have, New York, California, Texas, Los Angeles. In China you have Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Beijing in the main land, outside mainland you have Hon Kong, Macao, Japan has, Yokohama, Kyoto, Osaka, even Chiba and Shizuoka, Canada has Ontario, Toronto Calgary etc.

Guestlander:


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

Guestlander:


Calm yourself down kid. There's no evidence of deliberate or systemic scheme to hold anyone down.

Even the Lagos you are all screaming about was on a downward trend after the Federal government moved to Abuja until the civilian government came in and luckily the governors of Lagos have done remarkably well to rescue the trend.

Tell your own governors to put your states and your people first.

GrandGarcon:
who are my kins men, none of my kins men live in those dirty places.

Izen:


I thought Los Angeles was in California? See why I can't take the rest of your comment seriously? You can't educate us with this kind of ignorance

alexiej:


Well, actually, Nasarrawa cannot do much with their mineral resources cos the Fed Govt has exclusive rights to that... But I get your point though.

I stay in Oyo State and I know how desperately 'UN-INNOVATIVE' our leaders are here. No thoughts as to how to increase IGR, apart from taxes and levies. Osun gov could not generate anything reasonable from his state and he blamed the Jonathan administration for his inability to pay his staff cos according to him, Osun got the lowest allocation. Now, his party member is president and he can't complain about that anymore, yet, he hasn't paid salaries.

I am a law student. I know the landmark laws and procedures that Lagos has pioneered in Nigeria. They seem to review their laws regularly and even though there's still a lot to do, they seem to be on their toes about it. But what do you see in Oyo State, Osun state, etc? Copy copy! Busy copying from Lagos!!!

I agree with you bro.... It would actually be unfair to think Lagos has anything to do with the failures of other states.
