All these bigotry does not take anybody anywhere
That's just the truth
My side vs Your side destroys both sides

There is a lot of value to generate when the SE and SE and let's say the entire country works in synergy and harmonise competitive advantages
Look at the USA
Los Angeles
New York
Miami
ATL
Houston
Dallas
They are all thriving and harmonizing their advantages

Look at Germany
Cologne
Dusseldorf
Hamburg
Munich
Frankfurt
Etc
They are all thriving in their own way and are harmonizing
It's in Africa we see the mentality of "the other side must be held down for my side to go up"
Or to get ahead I must pull others behind

Keep deceiving yourself into believing that Lagos state is a making of afonjaz alone...Lagos is a no man's land and was collectively developed by Nigerians of all extractions.

The highest contribution of your ilks to Lagos state it touting and thuggery.

Despite the huge IGR, we barely have good roads to drive on. I wonder what they do with all the money

[s]Please stop this nonsense you re disgracing the yorubas. How can you say the Igbos burned down Lagos? Were they the Yoruba youths that went to you Oba palace and ransaked it?
If truly the Igbos did...doesn't it mean the yorubas are stupid for letting the Igbos control them and Igbos are their Lord and masters ?
For one igbo man to control Yoruba youths to burn down Lagos means Yoruba youths are useless[/s].

OmoEpe:


Since you are bereft of the intellectual competence to see beyond the beautifully crafted falsehood created by that deceitful buffoon I will help you.

1) Lagos was the federal capital till 1991 when it moved to Abuja. Between then and now all federal investment has been in Abuja not Lagos.

2) By 1999 at the return to democratic Govt Lagos was aptly described as an urban jungle. It was earning a partly #600m annually

3) The tax revolution of Tinubu brought it from #600m then to #600bn today annually

4) From 99 Till 2015, Lagos was in opposition to FG PDP so no capital investment was sighted there above other states.

Can you then say that FG investment made Lagos? Why was it an urban jungle 8yrs after being the capital and all of a sudden became Africa's 5th largest economy?


I will answer it for you. While Orji Uzor Kalu,Ibori,Nnamani and udenwa were busy eating up their state resources Tinubu was busy changing the civil service and tinkering with the tax nomenclature.
Most of the access roads in Lagos was built by him. He drew a 50yr master plan for Lagos which is being followed till date.

Let me ask you

WHAT MASTER PLAN DID KALU DRAW FOR ABIA OR IBORI FOR DELTA?

Yet the dullard is insinuating that Lagos development is a product of FG investment when OBJ went all out to retard Lagos progress.


Do you know that Lagos was already generating a power to light up Lagos for 24hrs? OBJ diverted it to the national grid to be shared among every state while Lagos paid for it.

Hate Tinubu all you want but know that if your then Governors had 10% of his vision, you won't all be tripping to Lagos to make meaningful living.


That guy you quoted is extremely dumb

DOTian:


Tinubu boy,
If you go to other developing countries like China, Indonesia, Malaysia or Thailand, revenues earned from more affluent states/provinces are used to help poorer regions/provinces get on their feet. The Chinese government invested heavily in building up the infastructure of such provinces as Shanghai, Guangdong, shangdong, Zhejiang etc. Theses are mostly coastal provinces. Most physical tradings happen here but most of the products sold in these places are fabricated in the hinterland provinces. This way, the coastal provinces are helping to pay back for the "lopsided" investments in their infastructure by becoming the marketers of the products of the other provinces thereby helping to redistribute wealth. But in Nigeria it's different! Lagos drags everything with everyone after so many decades of federal government ceaseless investments! That's is pure Evil and must stop!

As u no get shame, I go remind you say na ur terrorist Nnamdi Kanu wey talk for dat audio and the places d crackhead listed for d IPOB terrorists to go burn in dat audio got burnt!

Shey ur imaginary Yoruba youths dey listen to that una useless radio biafra ni? As una dey protect una terrorists, na so dem go finish iboland las las. As una no get sense and shame to condemn that terrorist wey dey tell hin ibo followers to go burn down another man's land.

RodgersAkpafu:

Federal presence was one of the factor that put Lagos ahead
Yes there is the personal effort element to it
But it will be disingenuous to discount how much federal presence in Lagos put it ahead
As much as a loathe that crininal (Tinubu)
At least he was able to lay the framework for the tax administration efficiency in Lagos
It is far from perfect
and somewhat sub par
But it is better than most jurisdictions in sub saharan Africa
That I will give to him

ifiokjohn:
Lol so.does it mean the Igbos the majority in Lagos since they can even burn down your state ..where was the Yoruba youths when the Igbos were doing that ehn?
By the way.you can lie to those who didn't follow the Endsars protest...we all did and we.kmow.the yorubas were the main conveners of that protest..from Falz to the rest. How many Igbos conveners did you see there?..

Anyways thank you for agreeing with me the Igbos rule you yorubas by commanding and compelling you to destroy your state...mpi

Make a tiny part of Rivers capital as well for a minimum of 30yrs, then let's talk after then.

What rubbish are these people clamoring for. Why not ask Government to stop monthly allocations to the SS because they have gotten a lot of money already

Nigerialabalaba:

Clap for urself .. For ur mind, u tink say u go collect gold medal if you dey burn and destroy like a plague shey? To burn and destroy no dey hard o. In fact, wetin IPOB terrorists no fit destroy no exist. Go ask iboland. As u no get my point, make I clear myself, I no get any problem with ibo as a tribe, na shameless ibo like you wey dey support IPOB terrorists I detest. Una own don cast patapata. Una no even see anything wrong with una crackhead son wey wake up go to tell una jobless terrorist youths to go burn down another man's land. Shey a Kola fit make up for Ekiti or Oshogbo con dey tell Yoruba youths to go burn down Onitsha and you think say we go dey defend am like una dey defend that terrorist Nnamdi Kanu. Dat is why if you dey defend IPOB terrorists, you sef na IPOB terrorist. Shiorr

[s]Did I make Lagos Capital?

Take like an adult that is not starved of oxygen.

The colonialists made that decision

Why not ask them to come and recolonize you?


Lagos Port was making more money before independence than some states do today
https://www.nairaland.com/4144976/lagos-1898before-nigeria-not-oil#61876649
Lagos is blessed with a great coast and accessibility which Rivers state does not have
At least the colonialist did not think so .

Your comment is like an ugly women complaining that the rich men only toast beautiful women.

How is that the beautiful woman's business

If Rivers state was that blessed , that glorious a tiny part would have been made capital

But it was not even capital of the old Eastern region[/s]

Kinematics:




Rivers has never been a Capital, neither has it even been centre of any FG investment, yet it keeps waxing strong and competing with places that has been capital and has received FG investments more than any other place.

Lagos is nothing without the rest of Nigeria! It is the activity from the rest of Nigeria that makes Lagos what it is and not the other way round!!

Bulk of the so-called IGR comes from PAYE. Now federal government has almost all its parastertels and agencies in Lagos and Abuja, so you now know why they are earning the most.

[s]What has this thread got to do with Rivers state?
LNG
Onne Port
Port Harcourt Port are not investments?
PH refinery
Afam power Plant is not investment?


What investment has Lagos had from the FG?[/s]

obynzo:


Boy grow up, this comment from you is very childish

Kinematics:


LNG is a PPP stuff mainly SPDC not FG
If FG truly cares about the Ports in PH they'll make it as viable as the crude loading points in Rivers
You mean dead refinery?
Adam Power Station belongs to SPDC
Transcorp owns Afam power station not FG.

I cam see you don't even have a clue on what you are writing.

Biafrarep:
Every day they keep peddling fake IGR yet hunger has almost finished all of them.

What they won't tell you is that PAYE i.e. pay as you earn is responsible for most of the so-called IGR. Now over 90% of all federal government agencies, ministries and parastertels are in Lagos and Abuja, with the remaining others in Kaduna and Rivers. That's basically why they account for most of the PAYE tax. Again, while all other regions have 7 & 6 states each, SE has just 5 meaning a massive loss PAYE tax that would have accrued to the region had it been they have 6 or 7 states.


Rubbish!!!
