You don't know what is called metropolis, inside Lagos, we have Lagos itself, there are so many cities in Lagos. Let me educate you, places like Ikeja, Lagos Island, Oshodi and lots more are all cities, forget the fact that Ikeja is the capital of Lagos.
Let me elucidate further, Kano as a capital of Kano has different cities, these are called metropolis, we have Nassarawa, Turani, Sabon Gari, Gwale etc. These are well developed places that we call cities, they different from villages. Infact in the case of Lagos state, I doubt if there are villages, cos most places are well developed and commercialized...I hope you not confused anymore kiss

Well developed and commercialized lol. When u travel out of this shit hole, even Abuja will look like a skunk

See this ekpa. Urhobo people are 1.5/3 of Delta and Anambra is 4/4 Igbo. The population of igbos in Anambra is 3 times more than that of Urhobos in Delta.

Now back to your question. No Igbo youth in the entire Anambra or Southeast alive currently is as wealthy as Igho Sanomi (an Urhobo industrious son). Not even your Jowi Zaza, E-Money or Obi Cubana is close to him. We don't chest beat like you people. And also, no family in the entire South East including Anambra is as wealthy as Ibru Family. From Hotel - Ikeja hotels which include Sheraton hotels, Aviation - Aero contractors, shipping - Ibru jetty, etc.

We are talking about Forbes recognised wealth and not inside the Onitsha main market gist and bragging.
Jesus Christ! Omo you are brutal. I swear I shock for that Igho guy matter (Igho means money in Edo state)

ONITSHA.

This is from your port statistics,
“Onitsha port will serve the South East Nigeria; in fact, Onitsha port will be the most viable port as over 60 per cent of cargo in Nigeria goes to Onitsha, so it is going to be a very busy port,” Ibrahim said.

Onitsha is not even as rich as Asaba and Warri. Abeg go sleep.

Abeg, there is nothing in Asaba to compare it with a burstling commercial hub like Onitsha. Shoe get size. Even Warri despite being an oil-rich city no see the back of Onitsha.

Shut up. It is not just about oil. There is a good percentage of oil in Imo than Anambra yet Anambra is wealthier than Imo. There is more oil in Akwa Ibom than Delta yet Delta is richer than Akwa Ibom. Chill, we are already above oil in Delta.

Dont bring Akwa Ibom into your.stupid argument.

Lagos is blessed by God to be the father of all states in Nigeria, apart from being a coastal city with Atlantic ocean that make access to other country of the world possible, it is equally a gateway to West African countries and has the best form of transportation system in Nigeria, roadnetwork, airport and deep seaport.

A state that ceased to be capital of the country over 20years ago still attracts modern and latest development. Dangote refinery, the largest single refinery in the world and Eko Atlantic are not just development of the present but would remain relevant many years to come.

Lagos State attracts the best human resources all over Nigeria, a cidatel of excellence and an aggressive and competitive place where merit becomes the norm. It's indigenous people have entrenched love and harmony into the city making it becomes a culture of every inhabitant of Lagos state.

Lagos is a learning ground for success due to its competitive nature of limited resources compared to it's huge population.

It has huge economy being the commercial nerve of the country, its a city of professionals, businessmen, home for entertainment, sports and games.

When you compare Lagos with other states in Nigeria, you can only refer to her as ancestor while others cities are it's descendant children


Lagos has her place but the richest city in Nigeria is Abj. Lagos will generate all the revenue and summit all to Abj and still come back to Abj to get a share of her revenue. A CBN staff in Lagos and a CBN staff in Abj can't receive the same salary though they are at the same level.

Lagos is the best and the richest in terms of states but when you talk about the richest city in Nigeria, Abj is the seat of power and where all parts of Nigeria comes to get their crumb (share of the national cake).

Anambra State is the richest in Nigeria.

Over 80% living there are billionaires.

The okada, keke riders and market women that IPOB lockdown enforcers flog on the streets are all billionaires.

Abuja, "Looting" machine headquarters
Complete it...Looting Machine Headquarters of Nigeria ( LMHN). Come to abuja on a Saturday, its like a ghost town. That's when you'd enjoy some percentage discount in hotels because all the customer daadaa( the looters and contractors dem), go don return to base. Its an insult to always liken Lagos to Kano, in terms of population, development and economy. The difference is quite clear...all these claims are political. We understand. Even with a functional airport as MMIA alone, they can't match us, not to talk of seaports and multinational HQs

Funding budget with ease doesn't mean you are more wealthy. If Delta State get that una meagre budget of 141bn in 2022, no need to borrow. Warri go handle am. Our budget is over 400bn+ baba. We nor be mate. Our VAT pass una own, our IGR pass una own. Una too make mouth.

This IGR ure backing your claims with, who's funding what is generating it? Ogbeni calm down and use your head. We're talking about self sufficient cities. Without outside investors, can your city generate this your mighty IGR?

Ignore that guy,Anambra and delta nor be mate.

Delta pass anambra well,the problem with Igbo people be say they hate the truth and always lie too much to boost their ego and pride.

Until you live in south-east,you will see reason why their children are migrating to other region in mass,it is because there is nothing in east.


Even an Igbo man wey go sell biscuit for say Warri,go tell you say na im develop warri.

You go come ask am why he nor fit develop his land first,if he is truly the one that develop warri.

We are understand their pride and ego which lead to much lies they tell theirself to feel better,It is a culturally thing in them.
naso them say them developed ghana and south africa untill those ones begin kill them like goat for tbeir countries gringrin
