The number of people that come into Lagos state everyday is about 7,000. Most are not coming to buy goods, but to make Lagos their new home.

According to senator Adeola, "the resources of Lagos state government cannot adequately cater for the population and the pressure on amenities arising out of the status of the state as an acknowledged mega city with a population of over 20 million Nigerians"

I think the Federal Government simply exploits and abandon lagos state.

Lagos state deserves special status, If lagos state can't get it. Then the federal government should create a Development commission for South West also. Nigerian revenues  comes from two sources, the oil and non-oil revenue. South west Nigeria generates 80 to 90% of the Non oil revenue income. We also deserve something special. We are too civil to get what we want through violence,  we all know what gave birth to NDDC and NEDC . The South west leaders should continue to push Lagos special Status they shouldn't give up, because the mass Migration to SW is alarming.  The negative impacts of migration has outweighed the positive impact.  Starting from Pressure on public services such as schools, housing and healthcare,  Overcrowding and pollution , crime, Increased pressure on budget.

So fight for break up na or restructuring or u shut up n endure it

I must confess...You are very right

Special ke

How many barrels do you produce a day

Abi na motor park revenue you the talk

So that you can also have a looting development
board abi

We don't need their special status or useless Regional Commission for lazy states running on oil money


By the time Dangote refinery starts paying tax to Lagos State Government on every drop of oil refined, and other value chain from Fertilizer plant, and other major industries that would spring out along Ibeju Lekki... Lagos won't even need any stupid allocation from Abuja

Even if we break up today. SW will continue to receive large numbers of people everyday except a strict migration law is put to place. Our leaders will continue to push for it..

Don't we have states that produce oil? Do you know how much custom generates from SW borders alone? Not to talk of other incomes from SW going into the federal government pockets . Many federal roads in Lagos states are bad. They generate money from the seaport but can't repair the roads for decades now..

Push for what ...u mean like osibanjo against restructuring ?

U think if we break up lagos would still be that populated ?

Infact Lagos would enter recession , population would drop by like 30% , houses values would crash , payment of loan would be hard , hyper inflation ...don't even go there self

All the oil companies would leave to start with ...some banks might leave or move head office

How will lagos enter recession? Where are the oil companies going to? Abia or Imo state? Where exactly will the banks move their head office to? Probably onitsha..

Breakup or no break up. Lagos state can not fall. It has everything already. I'm not even calling for disintegration, we need more federal government attention in SW mostly Lagos state. We give much and receive less...

Southwest should do the needful by putting more pressure for restructuring not clamoring for development commission ....we all know where it leeds to .....another looting commission

This one needs someone to help him fight for biafla. Our senators are already fighting for our right already in the red chamber, south west development commission is what we need to tacle over influx of your brother and our senators are already on it.

Firstly u think Niger Delta republic would allow oil companies have head office in another country and operate in niger Delta ? ...what would be the point of having head office in Lagos ...then they would build another one back in niger Delta republic

Biafran owned banks would move their head office to biafra , fidelity bank n the rest

Eastern sea ports would be opened by force and lagos cargo load would drop , ...most igbo owned business would relocate and put their houses on sale

Demand for house would drop which would fall price and value ... paying the debt used to build them would be hard banks takes them over but still can't get their money

Bros relax ooh

South east Commission is far ahead of that ...till Nigeria breaks we would keep milking south west and north dry ( legally of course ) and use it to keep building the east ...

Dedetwo:


You are delusional in stream of thought. I guess you want the people claimed Lagos and SW as original place of abode to run their loudmouths about the silly IGR of the region. Look pal, Lagos and SW cannot be able to pay back the interest on the principal spent in the region by the federal government when time comes to pay up. Lagos and SW region had been given enough and should start to pay back not run their putrid mouths.

Pay what back omo nna? Wetin Igbo give us wey we wan pay back? Frustration no good.

Business are not done base on sentiments brother. Will Dangote also move his Business from Kogi ,Ogun and Lagos to Kano? Will all the Multinationals companies move away from Nigeria? What are the percentage of real investor's from SE in Lagos? Apart from Access bank, how many Biafra banks can stand GTBank.. ? Why do you think Dangote and Kalu want to buy Arsenal instead of Kano pillars and Eyimba ? You don't do business like that sir .... The market and purchasing power is in the west..

We are marginalized of federal presence doesn't mean we are not building ourselves

Nigeria is holding us back doesn't mean we are doing badly by nigerian standard ...even aba is better than 50% of state capital in Nigeria

So please try to get it

If Lagos deserve Special status than all Niger delta states deserves VVIp Special Status. After all they are the goose that lay Nigeria's eggs and keep Nigeria one. without the Niger delta Nigeria and Lagos State is finished because Lagos State won't have been built..since 1970 till date it is Niger delta money that has grow and developed Lagos to the status it currently is.

I didn't say all the companies would move , any company whose major operation and base is in niger Delta or biafra would move or built a new head office ... If not they would pay double tax ... according to u business is not done with sentiment

Lagos lagos should still be the biggest city but might not be so for long


So if Nigeria breaks lagos would feel it by at least 30% gdp contraction ...that's a fact

You're still telling them to shut up when it's your people who are causing this strain that's the topic of discussion here.

THE SW SHALL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP ALL THE SW STATES IMMEDIATELY AFTER RESTRUCTURING..

Nonsense!
You're actually ungrateful to say the least. Oil producing states that are being exploited and their environment grossly degraded have not been given special status then it is Lagos that Nigeria channeled most of its resources to build during the oil boom era that will now deserve special status.

I don't blame you, rather I blame the federal government that concentrated most amenities there instead of spreading it out.

Lagos is nothing without Nigeria!

It is Nigeria that made Lagos what it is and not the other way round!!

It is Lagos that should be grateful not Nigeria!!!

You should be careful what you wish for, if you guys continue to make noise about Lagos or try to intimidate FG or others, then have it in mind that FG can decide to put in place policies that will hurt Lagos and push investments to other states.

You can't have every damn thing in Nigeria sited in Lagos at the detriment of other states/regions and not expect mass migration to Lagos.

You may ask how can FG hurt Lagos but that will be a very easy thing to do. FG can veto any further company/industry from being cited in Lagos going forward, under the guise of decongesting Lagos. Once any such request is made, they will be directed to other states/regions. FG can force all oil company headquarters to leave Lagos. FG can force imports/exports to be done through other ports than Lagos by slamming huge taxes on those passing through Lagos while making others almost free etc.

Are Igbo an integral part of federal government of Nigeria? Yari.ba must pay back, at least, the interest on the commonwealth used to develop Lagos and SW region.

Oil producing states receive special allocation, 13% derivation. Apart from the normal allocations. They have received more than N9trn since 2000. Who sent them to loot it? Is that not special enough. Please hold SS leaders responsible for the misfortune of the region... They swim in wealth with little to show for it. SS is still the richest region in Nigeria if we take away Lagos from SW. The leaders of SS are too corrupt..

Igbos causing strain by progressing ?

Have any group of Igbos attacked any yoruba community ? Answer that ?

What has the Igbos done wrong apart from coming from nothing to become rich ?

But no be special status go solve the problem of Lagos

The federal government have simply refused to open other parts of this country leaving us with only two options Lagos or Abuja
