Bonny is just a normal town in Rivers state, although it generates a lot of revenue, PH not Bonny is the capital of Rivers, also Bonny is an Island that have not seem much connection to the mainland (PH) you can't compare bonny to Lagos, a whole state to a humble town just being overtly exploited.

You could compare Bonny to some part of Lagos but not Lagos state, it is even unfair to compare Rivers to Lagos, talk more of Bonny to Lagos

Are there Embassy and Multinational Headquarters in Bonny?

When Niger Deltans call for Oil giants to relocate to the base, Lagos State cries and lobbies the FG to the detriment of other Southern States.

Google cites Bonny Island as having an estimated population of only 302,000 and Lagos metropolitan area as roughly 23.5 million. Infrastructurally, shouldn't Bonny be relatively better than it appears on the video ?

Does Bonny not have a dedicated governor ?

Have administrator as a special city or what, it is only if the Federal government or state government is interested that that sort of thing you think happens.

Put Bonny among its mate not among the top, Bonny is not a state capital nor a major market, compare Bonny to Nnewi, Nsukka, Afikpo, Okigwe, Idah, Ijebu Ode, Ogbomosho, Ajengule etc. Stop comparing Bonny to Lagos state, you may compare Lagos to Narobi, Johannesburg, etc.

If u go by boat na 4hours journey on top high sea...
If u go by chopper na just 12minutes from porthacourt.
This is no road access!!
Remember na island..
Things are quite expensive there..
One pure water is 50naira.
You can't drink sea water, it's salty.
U can only use it to wash.
They only cheap things are fish and ogogoro..
Even püssy no cheap there: oil workers don spoil those girls finish.

all these unnecessary taxation and worry is part of reason they don’t attract investments and multinationals are scared of investing in the state.

but actually lagos does it too, omo nile. yet draws investments.

i think it’s mainly due to population, functional seaport, and high literacy rate (plenty educated men and women available for employment). this three factors to me is why it’s desired over ph (lagos port is more functional, lagos also has more number of educated men and women for workforce), kano has the population, little educated men and women, their population are mainly hordes of barbarians and illiterates, no seaport)


this concludes my reason why lagos has high investment drive.

functional seaport, largest population of educated men and women in the country.
