Fhemmmy: @ Fhemmmy, you are making a lot of sense on this thread. I hope Nigerians will adopt your ideas and way of thinking and stay back in their States of Origin to engage in useful ventures. People are not thinking deep at all. In this era of globalization, youths in Villages can order for small machines from Asia and start making food products they can sell in their vicinity. To an extent, electricity is sometimes better in the rural areas as there are no industries in these places. Farming can still take care of the needs of people in the rural areas. People can get seeds from IITA and other Agriculture research institutes and start vegetable farms in their villages. They can then come together to transport the vegetables to the markets in the big cities. There is enough land for them to use and even if they don't own land, they can rent land for small amounts of money from families that own the land. People should start learning to do for themselves . The internet is there for them to research business ideas they can work in their States of Origin. Accommodation and cost of living is cheaper in those interior areas. Why don't people build good lives in the other states, rather than coming to Lagos to come and suffer ? |

WhoBeThisMan: Mr Man, who told you farming in Nigeria is not lucrative anymore? No matter how much food is imported into Nigeria, farmers will still sell their food and make profits. Have you visited Poultry farms along Lagos-Ibadan Expressway and asked the owners of those farms if they have ever regretted going into Poultry farming? Agriculture is a blessing from God. The soil will give back to you what you sow in it. Animal husbandry and crop production are viable business lines. Food Production is also viable. No matter how much you earn, whether you are unemployed or underemployed or jobless, you must surely eat something. You must drink something too- Cold drinks, soft drinks, yoghurt, lollipop etc. Abeg, don't say what you don't know here. 1 Like |

Fhemmmy: I don't just understand how many Nigerians reason. Maybe they need to travel to see how the world operates . With the internet, people in the village can learn new farming methods from other African countries and even from Europe and Asia. They can learn Bi-Cropping and Multi Cropping Systems from Asia. They can even get seeds of vegetables from Institutes in Nigeria and Africa. Some of them can start breeding Rabbits in their towns and villages, process rabbit meat and bring the meat to sell in the Cities. They can even advertise their Rabbit meat business on nairaland and Facebook. The problem with many people in Nigeria is that as soon as they start making money, they forget to invest some amount of money into improving the facilities they have. They fail to buy new equipment and tools that will help them expand their business. What is wrong in buying acres of land cheaply in the rural areas and within 5 years, turn those acres of land into a huge Banana or Plantain Plantation? Every 6 months, you will get banana and plantain suckers and plant them in a section of the land and you keep doing this continually for 5 years. Because you are living in the rural area, you can monitor your Plantation, hire local guys to patrol your Plantation twice daily etc. Why are we not thinking in this direction ? |

Angelfrost: What has political leaders to do with the concentration of business in Lagos? The businesses in Lagos are PRIVATE, which means that PRIVATE citizens and individuals from around the world VOTE with their wallet and feet to do business in Lagos. There are seaports in Calabar, Warri, Port Harcourt Onne (2 ports), Bonny, Sapele, and Escravos, among others. Nonetheless, it is PRIVATE individuals and businesses that VOTE with their feet and wallet which ports they prefer to use (and if you ever have to pay the much higher insurance premiums to use the Niger Delta region ports, perhaps you would comprehend why Lagos remains first preference for most importers). As for the government "mandating" (as in, forcing) manufacturers to relocate out of Lagos, as my African-American kin would say "Is you serious?!" Why on earth would the government dictate to anyone already risking their capital in an infrastructure-poor Nigeria (where each manufacturer and most businesses have to be their own virtual Local Government) where to deploy their own PRIVATE resources - perhaps as the government itself foolishly built a refinery in Kaduna far away from the source of crude oil without the capacity to maintain pipelines to feed said refinery (among other issues). Nigerians should realize that we are competing for investments with virtually the rest of the world, and forcing businesses out of Lagos does not necessarily mean that they will relocate to Asaba or Kaduna, instead of Accra, Kumasi or Cotonou! Anyway, many manufacturers (and some people who are employed in Lagos) have actually relocated to, or have invested in entirely new plants in, the neighboring Ogun State and effectively creating a megapolis of sorts that intertwines some parts of Ogun State with Lagos. That's a NATURAL organic progression that is preferable as it's based on economic premises rather than political government fiat or diktat. > |

Sometimes (not very often, but sometimes nonetheless), I feel for governments in Nigeria... You simply cannot build a 21st century city for a population that has large segments thereof still mentally in the 17/18 century. Anyway, it's ultimately government's fault... Because it's first job should be to invest in PEOPLE! > 1 Like |

Staro: Can supposedly “educated” Africans/Nigerians please quit regurgitating every Oyinbo pablum... Even granted the fact that most of what passes for “education” in much of colonialized Africa is substantively based on the “repeat-after-me” methodology of cramming and regurgitating with precious little (if any independent inquiry or thought), but it still should be enough of a head start of sorts that when people (many of whom have never been near Lagos and some who cannot even pick it out in a global map) start spewing gibberish about us. We should be controlling our own narratives nor merely regurgitating our own lives as seen through Oyinbo-tainted glasses. Nonetheless, first, the supposed index was about a selected number of global cities and not all cities, so even if we are to accept their tortured index hook line and sinker as zombies without independent inquiry, query or judgment, Lagos still would not be considered as “the second worst city to live in the world” (btw, the flawed index actually rated Lagos third-lowest among those selected cities, not second). The index and the indices upon which it was based was substantively a largely subjective evaluation of the lifestyle of Westerners/Oyinbo in those selected cities. The index was NOT a measurement of the suitability/livability of those cities to INDIGENOUS lifestyles. Lagos is an AFRICAN/Nigerian city and the best measurement for Lagos should primarily be how best it suits the lifestyles or tastes of indigenous Nigerians/Africans and not expatriates or tourists (eg, many British/Western women love The Gambia because of the thriving sexpliotation of poor young Gambian, and would probably rate it as a more preferred destination than Nigeria just on that basis). Admittedly, there are several areas of measurable commonality (particularly infrastructure), but not having a museum or opera house is of less important to most indigenous Nigerian than a good place to play draughts and eat dried fish, kpomo or nkwobi. > |

Graduateacher:not necessarily. I've seen farmers suffering in the village. If things were done rightly in this country, good and accessible road to farming towns, proper distribution network for thier harvest, electricity etc, I don think there will be such high rate of rural urban migration. Well I guess you are right.. their mentality will I need change when they see the suffering of their fathers who were or are still farmers. |
