The problem with Nigeria is that the FG refuse to see all region of Nigeria as one entity and thrive in tribalism and nepotism. If FG is serious,Lagos shouldn't be the only state that has viable ports,International airports and embassies. For people that live in the SE/SS they should have viable international airports,sea ports and consulates,the same with people in the North. Nothing special about Lagos, lagos was just lucky be the former colonial headquarter and former capital of Nigeria developed by colonial masters and FG 1 Like |

aribisala0: I think you're a kid. If you've ever looked for a job you'd notice nearly all firms have do their recruitments from their cooperate HQs in Lagos. States do not collect tax? Then what do the stats revenue boards do? Sit in their offices and play ludo all day? Ibori stole money but there was no way he could steal hundreds of millions of dollars. That's a stupid exerggeration. How much was the federal allocation to Delta that he could steal hundreds of millions of dollars. States can only provide basic infrastructure for investments but cannot bend Federal govt policies that hinder them. 1 Like |

Lagos State is the most indebted state. A significant amount of development in Lagos today is down to debt.We may argue that the debtt was well used but it is still debt not the fG Another error many people make is to say Lagos State was the former FCT ,,IT WAS NOT A small part of the state was the FCT not the entire state. do not get it twisted 5 Likes |

aribisala0:There nothing special about lagos, there is no healthy competition among states in Nigeria,Lagos is lucky to have been developed by colonial masters and FG, other states did not have that opportunity. Look at how FG is pumping money in developing Abuja, that how the colonial masters and FG pump money into lagos till 1991 to make it befitting capital of Nigeria then.Successive lagos state government have done anything special,they just living on already built state with FG protection. If you want imoport something it must pass through lagos port where we have other ports in PH and Calabar. If you want travel to many world destinations you must pass through lagos where we can have more standard airports in other regions. Oil headqueters all in lagos, embassies and visa issues all in lagos. Bank hq all in lagos. 1 Like 1 Share |

bantudark1:At least each region should have one state that have a viable international airport,sea ports and consulate for visa issues. It will reduce accident and traffic congestion in lagos and create more jobs in other regions, somebody that live in Kano or Onitsha don't need to travel all the way to lagos to travel out of the country. In South Africa you dont need to move from Cape town or Durban to Johannesburg to leave the country.If you Nigerians want to compete with other countries in development, all this tribal sentiment should be thrown away, it doesn't make sense for people from the SW to keep on bragging that Lagos is the only place that things happen in Nigeria and continue to do everything possible to make sure that the only viable airports,sea ports etc in Nigeria is only found in lagos 1 Like |

It beats my imagination when egg heads compare Lagos and states like Akwa Ibom. People involve in such needs rethink. Had Lagos developed at the pace Akwa Ibom and other younger states are Lagos would have been our California. No state government has abused power more than those of Lagos but the FG presence had been a big cover up. Why won't Lagos judiciary system be better when the seat of Justice had been in Lagos for a long time until literally moved to ABJ. Why can't Ambode repair bridges already built by FG. BF had been tagged to be extraordinary gov while in Lagos and even castigating FG in power then but today he's lost as a minister only to be baptized "minister of darkness" - why can't he do the magic. If a state like akwa ibom gets 1/10 of FG presence Lagos has, it would be on record that Lagos has no brains. For those who may not bother to research, most companies had sited their HQ in Lagos just for sake of nearness to where policies were formulated (IT was not available as it is today ) and availability of resources like airports, seaports, embassies, infarct commercial hub for cheaper and easier business purposes as these transactions were basically manual in nature. Issues of insecurity is secondary as things like militancy just cropped in due to inability of FG to harness the situation. Believe it or yes, FG presence in Lagos for decades is a spring board for development in Lagos. Abuja is already outsmarting Lagos in terms of town planning, road networks, etc because ABJ is built in an era of modern industrialization. In no time, we wud be hearing that Govs in ABJ have never stolen. Lagos has no excuse not to develop infarct the space of development in Lagos is sluggish because the never had/have smart government to consummate opportunities available to them during the 100% presence of the FG 2 Likes 1 Share |

fidukpong: If there is better electricity availability millions would move back to their villages from lagos. Second thing is the various state governors are bad. Very bad. If they wake up agriculture in their various states many of their people would stay back in their states. Also if there is a major seaport in niger delta, many people would be living around the port to earn their living. Unfortunately the senseless apc government is also performing badly, there is no hope that things would improve. |

logica:It doesn't have to do with Aviation minister, Nigeria should have a master plan on development, FG should diversify Nigeria and stop concentrating everything in Lagos, is not that we are envious of lagos, but a sane country should spread its infrastructure, like in South Africa they have the following sea ports in which you can bring in or export your goods and clear it,covering all parts of SA; port of Cape Town Port of Durban Port of East London Port of Port Elizabeth Port of Richards Bay port of Saldanha While Nigeria have one viable airports in lagos and maybe Abuja, South Africa have the following viable standard international airports Cape Town International Airport (CPT, FACT) Durban International Airport (DUR, FADN) Johannesburg,Lanseria Airport (HLA, FALA) Johannesburg,O.R. Tambo International Airport (JNB, FA Mmabatho International Airport (MBD, FAMM) Nelspruit,Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport (MQP, FAKN) Polokwane,Polokwane International Airport (PTG, FAPP) Sun City,Pilanesberg International Airport (NTY, FAGN) 1 Like |

logica: He was the governor that started the huge tax collection for lagos. He built Marwa Gardens. Also you can read from this: As Governor of Lagos State, General Buba Marwa will be remembered for his “Operation 250 Roads” which he used to improve Lagos roads. Also, mosquito nets were shared to pregnant women during his era as Lagos Governor and public health care centers were built in virtually all LGAs of Lagos State. He stopped the “Jankara” methods of evicting tenant and made an edict to regulate rents, ensuring that due process is followed.http://dailypost.ng/2013/04/28/ismael-olanrewaju-oguntoyibo-buba-marwa-the-man-his-past-and-his-options/ 1 Like |

PunditAfrica:I agreed with most of your comments. However, I don't agree about your California statement. I have lived in California for over 5 years and have lived in both LA and SF. California is a million miles ahead of New York. It's more richer, diverse and bigger than New York. California economy is bigger than France and Italy. If California was a country. It will be the 5th largest in the world. It also accounts for about 30 percent of USA total economy. 4 Likes |

Jealousy.... Lagos is developed by right set of Governors,good and workable policies and the people. I wonder y the writer is calling on Federal Government to make law,policies to develop other regions /state as if there was a special law/policies dat developed Lagos. Lagos development is historical and based on right machineries that drive Lagos. Thanks Chief Obafemi Awolowo that produced Alhaji Lateef Jakande,thanks Pa Adesanya and others that produced Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu,thanks to Tinubu that produced Fashola,thanks to Tinubu again that produce Ambode. Lagos development has a strategic plan that are being followed /carried out by successive leaders. 3 Likes |

Dz is a bias opinion, the government of Nigeria did everything humanly possible to underdeveloped lagos, they moved all moveable ministries, agencies and parastatals to abuja at the speed of light,the hausa fulani developed abuja at the strike of an hurricane. THE ONLY THING THEY COULD NOT MOVE IS THE SEA. THE MAJOR THINGS DT DESTROY NIGERIA ECONOMY AND UNDERDEVELOPED THE REST OF NIGERIA ARE ,THE MILITARY, THE MORIBUND AJAOKUTA, ABUJA, THE MDA(MINISTRY, DEPT, AGENCY) LAGOS HAS GIVEN BACK TO NIG GOVT IN TRIPLE FOLDS, EVERY MONEY SPENT OR INVESTED ON LAGOS. ABUJA HAS RETURNED ZERO ON ALL THE INVESTMENT SPENT ON IT. THE ABUJA PROJECT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE GRADUAL ,BUT WHAT WE SEE WAS AGGRESSIVE DEVELOPMENT. FOR INSTANCE, MANY PEOPLE IN THE OIL RICH NIGER DELTAS ARE EITHER MAKING ENDS MEAT IN LAGOS OR HAVE A FAMILY MEMBER DOING SO, THE SAME CANNOT BE SAID OF ABUJA, THE FUTURE BATTLE GROUND OF THE REPUBLIC. THE DEVELOPMENT OF LAGOS IS BEING ACCELERATED BY VISIONARY LEADERS SINCE THE OUTSET OF DEMOCRATIC RULE. UNDER THE MILITARY, LAGOS WAS AN EYESORE, NEGLECTED AND ABANDONED BY THE GOVT. IN MY OPINION, THE WRITER SHOULD RE-TITLED THE ARTICLE AND TENDER AN UNRESERVED APOLOGY FOR MISLEADING HIS READERS. THE OCEAN IN LAGOS KEEPS ATTRACTING BOTH LOCAL AND FOREIGNERS, THE ACCOMMODATIVE NATURE OF THE YORUBAS IS ALSO CONTRIBUTING TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF CENTRE OF EXCELLENCE. THE HOSTILE IBOS CANNOT SAY THE SAME , THE RELIGIONCENTRIC AND FANATICAL HAUSA FULANI THAT UNDERDEVELOPED THE WHOLE OF NIGERIA AND MORTGAGED THE FUTURE OF UNBORN GENETATION ARE EQUALLY GUILTY. THE NIGERDELTANS HAVE EVERY REASON TO PROTESY THE RAPE OF THEIR OIL BLOCKS. 90% OF WHICH BELONGS TO THE HAUSA FULANI. AND AGAIN, THE ADVENTS OF KIDNAPPING AND ARMED YOUTHS ALSO SCARE AWAY POTENTIAL INVESTORS TO LAGOS AND THE SOUTH WEST AXIS OF THE NATION. 4 Likes |
