Mumu. Does Abuja share boundary with any country or any international body?

Abuja is located in the hinterland of Nigeria and its only accessible via land or air.
How is sharing boundary relevant

Does Chicago share boundary with any country? Since when did ships start sailing into Chicago?
Does Toronto?
Does Cairo

but you said they are "coastal"

HOW??

You just keep shifting the goalposts and ridiculing yourself

This guy. Seems I'm replying a baby. Is Chicago not on the mouth of Lake Michigan?

Wetin dey wrong with your brain self?


"The Illinois coastline extends 63 miles (101.4 km) along the southern reach of the western shore of Lake Michigan (Figure 25-1), 22 miles (35.4 km) of which is the City of Chicago shoreline."

The city of Kinshasa and Brazzaville is divided by The great Congo River, which is also the River that separates Congo DRC and Republic of Congo.


Infact I'm done here. It's quite obvious you are a dullard.

Professor know it all! use your knowledge to transform the near abysmal living conditions in Lagos! you people are just shameless wannabees, who have absolutely nothing to offer the world, IPOB members unlike you treacherous leeches are actually thinking like human beings, who will do whatever is necessary to protect their land and people! living in assumed luxury in filthy and unplanned ikoyi or waterlogged lekki does not make you better than any other person in that contraption called Nigeria................

Location is a disadvantage for Abuja. Rivers geographically is a better competition than Abuja.

Look around the world today, most vibrant cities are on the coast.

How come faraway Kano, Kaduna are more vibrant and earn more IGR than Owerri, Awka, that are close to the coast and near multibillion dollar oil installations?

And who says Lagos is not benefiting from oil receipts?
Please where is the headquarters of Chevron, Mobil, Agip and Total in Nigeria?
Where are 70% of oil servicing companies in Nigeria
located?



Take away these from Lagos and see how Lagos becomes useless..

If you don't know, Lagos benefits from the oil you are talking about more than any other state in Nigeria.

Are you not ashamed oil companies find Lagos a better environment to stay to do business instead Rivers?
Even Elf that braved it was chased away and recently landed in Lagos after seeing the light like other IOCs.

Why didn't Dangote locate his refinery along the long coast of any of the Niger Delta states? As he never even considered any.
He only shortlisted Ondo and Lagos state, think deeply about it.

lol @ goalpost shifting, your post that I quoted wasn't about Rivers state, but when confronted with facts, you ran and hide under Rivers state.

Again, why is Kaduna state without oil is one of the top IGR states, ahead of Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, major oil states?

Do they also have ports in Kaduna or the FG developed Kaduna?

Why don't you name them?

Even Nairobi that that has lower IGR compared to Lagos has functional water system, metro line, constant power, functional public transportation.

Which of these does Lagos have?

Do you even know that Lagos state is the fastest growing city in the WORLD?

How are our corrupt politicians preparing for the population?
Do they have any short term and long term strategy to complement the future prospects?
Or are they just concern about continuous stay in power ?

Lagos state generates N31 Billion per month

Lagos state collects N10 Billion monthly oil allocation

N31 Billion - N10 Billion = N21 Billion.

It means Lagos state generates almost 3 times internally than from oil.

So, how is Lagos state nothing without oil, since it's generating many times over what it's collecting from oil allocations?

See, your posts are mostly lowly formulated, they lack serious thoughts, logic and basic sense.

The fact that you asked that question means you are likely not a Lagosian.

How come we don't see this kind of question when Lagos state commission projects, or when we post pictures of all the wonderful projects they commission? Or the money they fund the projects with falls from the tree?

Was it not the same funds they are constructing the 2 metro rail line with? What about the housing estates, Imota the largest rice mill in sub Africa, roads and bridges, including the best and the most beautiful bridge in Nigeria, the Lekki Ikoyi bridge that Nollywood can not wait to show in all their movies and shows?

I guess people like you have selective brains and eyesight, you only see when it convenient and blind when it's time to be mischievous.

What gives lagos the buoyancy to generate that much if not the IOCs and FG investments?

Put same IOCs and FG investments in other states and see if they won't generate that much, especially coastal states.

The things on ground is highly commensurate with available revenue. Otherwise more advanced cities would have been run with less than what Lagos has. Shame me with an example of a city spending less or same like Lagos and is more advanced.
Stop speaking in superlatives and be more specific.

Hint:
Lagos spends less than 50k naira per citizen, compare to Cairo, Johannesburg, Cape Town, Nairobi etc.

Keep your hint to yourself.
Why should I compare with Cairo etc when I can compare with Awolowo, Mobolaji-Johnson and Jakande? Why should I look for what I go to Sokoto to find what is inside my sokoto? When I am not foolish

According to miseducated Nigerians, it is awo-si-fila amazing physical projects that are dubbed world class, which makes any city worthwhile, and not the basics of modern human life.
Is it any surprise that supposedly world class Lagos is always ranked among the worst of global cities? Despite gigantic increases in IGR since 1999. Obviously Tinubu and his goons have looted the yesterday, today and tomorrow of the alabarus and akigbemarus who celebrate him nevertheless. Original suffering and smiling.

It's over 30 years that FG did anything tangible in Lagos.
It's Buhari that has ensured the Lagos Ibadan rail was completed and pushing the Lagos Ibadan expressway.

Who says the North and West alliance has not paid off? When 16 years of PDP led by southerners delivered virtually nothing special to Lagos

Apart from not doing anything it has continued to overburden Lagos with unnecessary burden and strip it of it's revenue to share to other states of the federation

Lagos kits,trains and pay the salaries of the.policemen dedicated to policing Lagos the RRS officers.

OBJ ensured Lagos investment of generating enough power to have a 24hr power supply was frustrated by diverting the power to national grid for sharing across the country while Lagos paid for it,

Hate Buhari as much as you like but Lagos is for the first time in 30yrs like you rightly point out are feeling the Federal Presence for the first time.
Yet some nincompoops will have us believe that the FG investment made Lagos what it is.
In 30yrs no single federal road was rehabilitated in Lagos, Apapa was desecrated and yet OBJ had the guts to sell the former Federal Secretariat to Babalakin. A land acquired for public interest.
Thank God successive Govt has refused to perfect his documents and as long as APC remains the ruling party in Lagos he will never take pocession of that property

Even the international Trade Fair Complex was sold by the FG to Igbo traders,a land Lagos gave up for public good, little wonder Lagos Govt ensured that the new Tejuosho market wasn't sold to strangers outrightly even when there was acute delay in getting it's money back

The federal government has being a minus to Lagos and it's indigines yet nitwits are here trying to commonise Lagos GIANT strides.

If their State Govs have 10% of Tinubu vision,knowledge and commitment they will not be economic refugees in Lagos overstretching it's facilities while listening to the Baboon in DSS cage prompting to burn it to the ground

.

They don't have a Metro rail in the whole of Kenya, what they have is a commuter railway.

All the things you listed are false representation, there is nothing like functional water system in Kenya, they don't even have enough under the ground, 50% of the people lack access to water, they drink dirty and filthy water.
. whatever that's built in Nairobi did not come from the City of Nairobi, it comes from Kenya as a country, Lagos is a state, not a country.


What you have is called fake facts.
