ThiagoKid:
Abia and ogun state, no difference

They are always blessed with insane governors

Born2conquer:

Amosun still tried

Seerade029:


Don't mind him, He won't question northerners for claiming Kano and Kaduna.

he won't question his own people for claiming Anambra.

Mtcheww.

Seerade029:


The guy is from IMO, but whenever Anambra topics shows up or so, they start claming Anambra.
You'll never see him talking about his IMO state.

like say we don't know that Anambra is the Lagos of east, most of those SE guys rush there.
They can only deceive themselves tho.

Ajibel:


What's your problem in Yorubas identifying with Lagos?

Vision2045:
for those judging wrongly.

The move is just a palliative to make the road motorable.... Construction of a brand new road to
commence after the rainy season as promised by my Governor...

Read before you cast a stone don't be lazy

hardbody:


If i slap you....


I had to abandon my house there after many years of troubled accessibility. Panick while going home, panick whille coming out. Damaged all my vehicles and those are SUVs. I judge Ogun state governors using alagbole-Akute-Ajuwon-Olambe-Oke Aro roads. The moment you hit Lagos state portion the difference becomes as clear as 7up. Ogun state is messed up

Studyinchina200:
Another Audio Governor like Sayi Makinde.

Both guys are big failure.

sulaak:


I am casting a rock at your lazy head. The governor was elected in 2019 so why the delay?

rdokoye:


Development in the east is fairly balanced. You should visit the various development threads and youll see.

LukasPodolski:

ifo is actually not in the State capital, not even a top town/cities in Ogun state, what am trying to say is that That environment (apart from the extremely bad roads) is not bad for town not in state capital and not among the top cities in the state.

The rehabilitation of the road looks confusing, because I don't understand the use of big stones, well what do I know, they know better than us..we should wait for them to finish the job.


in addition, we all know your Okigwe, Nsukka, Orlu, Ozubulu are paradise and cities like London Paris Vegas got nothing on them.

Vision2045:


Mr slapper....my comment was based strictly about the road up there....not the history of Ogun state roads....the roads you mentioned has been in deplorable state for more than 2 decades.....until the previous administration commissioned a half done Alagbole Akute bridge while abandoning the Akute lambe bridge project....so I know what am saying Mr slapper......my point is those critizing the palliative measures, misjudging it as a road construction project.

Born2conquer:
Lol!! See what my GOVERNMENT is posting as CONSTRUCTION!

If not that we are used to suffering in this part of the world, should as sensible government call this construction? Is this ROAD CONSTRUCTION?

Big stones that will end up puncturing car tires? Big stones that will leave the roads more damaged! Na e we dey call construction?

Who even do us like this for this country?

Come to ABEOKUTA NORTH! Nothing! Not a single DEVELOPMENT since the time of BABAGINDA.

And we have a Government! Dey invested more in PR and photography than in actuall work

deboysben:
but he is saying the truth
Or is it hurting you?

hardbody:


And during election some buffoons will collect money, then seat around and drink beer after voting for a continuous perpetuation of this rape of our commonwealth.

ojun50:
Area boys for my area dey do this kind project...... Who give the governor this kind advice

Seerade029:


Ehn, so why the problem with us?
at least we didn't claim we develop your region?

Why can't you tell others both north and south south to develop theirs

rdokoye:


I think you're generalising there, and when the issue of developing or development pops up, it's usually in reference to Lagos. That said, Lagos was developed by Nigerians, not any one ethnic group - if you want to say that. Lagos isn't exactly developed, but you get what I'm saying.

Seerade029:


Any state can be developed by anyone if the state offers them better environment.

What will happen if Lagos state government decides to bounce on non indigenes, won't there be mass migration??

if Kano was the former capital, will you tell them that their land is no man's land?

it's the job of the government to create a better environment.
They ain't the one that asked y'all to come.

Okay, now that there are mass migration to Ogun state cos of Lagos factor, will you say it's no mans land?

Lagos is just about 5lg, others were in ogun state before.

rdokoye:


Yes, but we both know that Nigeria doesn't offer businesses or investors a "better" environment, which is why many of them prefer to setup base outside of Nigeria, and do business within Nigeria through ECOWAS.

Lagos is a result of government failure. The bottleknecking of the Nigerian economy. Whether it's port access, airport access, and primary infrastructure, for a long time, all of these things were only accessible in Lagos. Which is why everyone fled there. Essentially, Nigeria was, a one-city state. Only recently (since 1999) as the nation has returned to a democracy, has other parts of the nation started to open up.

Well, Lagos is Lagos, when people say it's no-man's land, they're essentially saying it's neutral ground. But given the ethnocentric nature of Nigeria, it's unrealistic to believe that Lagos could ever remain neutral. Economically, the state is neutral, but socially, it's not. Which in of itself is a problem. Because on one hand, you have the Yoruba, who claim Lagos belongs to them, because of it's locale, and on the other, you have a state, that economically, is not in the hands of Yoruba people.

There's no mass migration to anywhere in Yorubaland. Lagos is an exception, just like Abuja. Outside of those two cities, there's no reason for anyone to migrate in mass to anywhere in SW Nigeria or the North. Ogun State has benefited somewhat from its proximity to Lagos, being a relatively undeveloped state, meaning, land and housing is significantly cheaper. But outside of that, there's nothing.

LukasPodolski:

Aside Lagos and Abuja, states like Kano, Oyo and Kaduna has heavy presence of non-indigene.

Infact Kano and Oyo has more Network subscribers than Abuja.

rdokoye:


Yea, because they have larger populations.

Where did you get your demographics statistics from, can you send me a link?

LukasPodolski:

The population of Ogun in 2006 census was just a little above 3million, the NBS Telecom stats shows 8million households, which is the the third highest after Lagos and Kano ( Ogun was the second highest last year, Kano experienced little growth this year)

Lagos
Kano
Ogun
Oyo and
Fct
Are the top five.
