Divide Nigeria and let igbos go please
Then we will know who is better than who
Lol

ok I will think about it...

helinues:
How much GDP has Lagos grown since the FIF abi Fiji did their last report.

Egypt and South Africa are not doing economically well at the moment

Have small shame and stop lying your a**s off.

Krankhead:
Then live Lagos alone and face your state. Nah by force?

Are you from Lagos? Definitely you are not so why are you not facing your SW state too?

NwokoloOwa:
Tufiakwa!

Some Nigerians are just witches-o. Always the first to look out for facts or fictions to pull their nation down no matters what.

Odi egwu!

But why will someone churn out fake figures and lies to spread propaganda? It is patriotism to bring out facts and expose liars so we don't become a laughing stock before the international community.

sonnie10:
To be fair, while this rebuttal is listing names of other countries with GDP higher than Lagos, they forgot that Lagos is just a state not country.

The person who said Lagos is a 41 trillion naira economy did he also factor into account that Lagos is a state and not a country?

helinues:


Cairo? Please stay updated with the current financial problem Egypt is going through

Cape town, South Africa, with light shedding, which there potential next president would be. Zuma, Malema or Ramaphosa all products of ANC that bastardized the country .

Abeg stop the kidney

But Egypt is still number 2 economy in Africa so what are you saying?

mctech:


It's obvious that you have never been to Lagos.

Lagos is halfway between the diaspora and the rest of Nigeria.

What did you say!!!!! Oga stop that thing you are smoking abeg, if truly you have been to the diaspora you will not say this rubbish.

Fearyourcreator:

Commissioner is hungry to you now ... Empty head ...
Wetin make your own state better Lagos

Did he compare his state to Lagos? C'mon improve your comprehension skills.

stuffs2002:


Please stop bringing all these radio biafla stories to nairaland

Yet IPOB are entering night bus every night to go to Lagos.

Envy and hatred has blinded you to reason

I have been asking you and your kind that you should bring statistics of migration from East to Lagos for the last 20years and let us look at the trend. You don't know that the trend is seriously reducing, you are here fooling yourself. Show us data on the migration, you fail to also realise that in the morning buses are also filled with people going back to the east. Try and have sense abeg.

mubalak37:



You are also wrong because Lagos is a state while the ones you are ranking than Lagos are all countries, Egypt, south Africa are all countries. Think before you blame others.

The commissioner that made that baseless claim why didn't you guys attack him?

tiger28:
Haters of Nigeria......

See HOW they went FAR to disprove any good news

No on the other hand those who spread lies and dish out baseless claims are the real enemies of Nigeria. It is better and more patriotic that someone exposes the lie so that we don't become a laughing stock in the international community.

Candreva:
Lagos is richer than most countries in the world. At least more than 25 countries, including Haiti and Seychelles.

What did you smoke?

bionixs:
please , educate one tribalistic mugu who goes by vanbonattel

But the vanbonattel is spitting facts. Did the Lagos commissioner who made that lie factor into account that if you convert the naira to dollars the figure cannot even beat the GDP of Seychelles?

Kay25:

Tell me what ur tribe contributes?how many of ur godforsaken bloodas coming to cause nuisance pay taxes

Don't go there. How many Yorubas actually pay taxes leave out corporate people. Let us talk about it, how many yoruba owners actually pay their land use charges in Lagos?

Kay25:
Na only enemy of lagos dey disprove am even old stats lagos state gdp is higher than too many African countries

See it is rather patriotic for someone to expose the bare faced lie that the commissioner made. If not we will become the laughing stock among the international community.

Alamu5891:
and more than half of people from your region is in that same Lagos
Look at how frustration and bad belle was written all over your write up

Can you bring our statistics that show this? Also can you bring out data that shows migration of igbos to Lagos in the past 20 years and compare the trends, so that we see here of the trend is increasing or reducing?

Ofemannnu:

Truly,the devaluation would have affected the GDP of Lagos compared to other Africa nations who were below Lagos before but the problem with FIJ is that they didn't provide any proof.
Until then,we are still with the commissioner.

Which African nations are below Lagos? Guy you people are really overestimating Lagos from all points. At it's peak Lagos could not even reach top 15 African economies.

yommen:


You were so pained to see Lagos being listed among top 7 economy in Africa. Thats why you have to so poor your mind out like you are ejaculating when you saw the post that disputed the earlier claim about Lagos.

First, you drag the Yoruba tribe into it to portray that all Yorubas are chest beaters. Unfortunately, you refused to note that the reporter of the post that made you so euphoric to the point of ejaculation is also a Yoruba man. So in a way, a Yoruba man made a claim while another Yoruba man disputed the claim but you are too myopic to see that. You still chose to drag all of them together. Anyway, na wetin unna wan hear and see na him unna dey hear and see, not what need to be heard and seen.

To the topic itself, both you and the reporter faced backyard in your analysis and assessment of the matter. The reporter gave us figures for African countries while the commissioner referred to Lagos state. If you and the reporter had been able to do justice to the issue, you should be mentioning states in Africa with figures that show your claim and counterclaims, not country.

One state in a country might actually be doing better than states from other countries. However if that state is the only stand out state among other states in its country while other individual countries have more states still doing much fine compared the country of one-stand out state, then the success of the one state might not be able to project it's country better than those other countries with more states doing fine. It's so simple but your quack reporter is not able to better analyse the commissioner's claim.

I qualify to be a journalist while I also work in a company that does a lot of figure analysis.

Oga stop playing smart here. The question is why did the Lagos commissioner not factor into account that Lagos is a state. That claim is a spurious claim, because in it's peak Lagos could not even be higher than the top 20 economies in Africa at that time, is it now that there is currency devaluation it would be top 7? See the best way we can move forward is to accept reality, the problem is we have evil people as leaders, who are prepared to use divide and rule(tribalism) to be in power as seen in the last governorship elections. And to remain in power they create illusions via propaganda that they are doing well, when in reality Lagos is slowly bleeding. Have you been to the market or to various malls lately to see how dull activities are and how shops are closing by the day?
You think things are easy for people right now, coupled with the desperate multiple taxation from the government, who themselves know that tax revenue has dropped so badly because of the downturn of the economy but need to pay back the humongous loans taken by the state(that is another discussion for another day)

theredaddy:




Children of hate are being to lose every sense organ due to incessant wailing

whats even more shamefull is these 3rd class dunces don't know when to stop

How can someone use Countries GDP to discredit a state GDP, since when did Egypt, ghana, angola, south africa , tanzania become a state ... yet you see people jumping on it and reacting like buffons, as long as the news suite their preset mind they throw senses away

Why did the commissioner say that Lagos is the 7th economy in Africa, which he is also comparing countries to Lagos as well.

theredaddy:




How many state can boast of Lagos IGR

How many states in Nigeria have two functional seaport

How many states in Nigeria has given more livelihood to Nigerians than Lagos

Which state in Nigeria is more cosmopolitan than Lagos

Which state in Nigeria can boast of synergy & continuity like lagos govt

which state takes care of her public workers welfare more than Lagos

If Lagos is not different, your definition must be wrong

This statement doesn't even negate the fact that outside Nigeria Lagos no follow at all.

Dennisochampa:
As them hate Lagos reach, they are either staying in Lagos or have properties there.....
If Lagos is so bad... Why all of una no go back to una states wen good abi them swear for una with things wen bad?

Again this is where propaganda has done a number on your mind, which is what these politicians have done to you. They have created a fake illusion about Lagos to you and made you believe that anyone who questions that illusion is an enemy of lagos. In the first place why would a commissioner lie that lagos economy is the 7th largest in Africa? Have you asked yourself that?

Vello:

This IPOB Fij is so despicable!
When you compare statistics, why put Lagos which is a State in Nigeria alongside countries like South Africa, Egypt and the rest. Your comparative basis ought to be Johannesburg, Cairo, Kumasi, Pretoria, Nairobi etc.
Typical Obi supporters and IPOB who are terminally sworn to yoruba hatred would lap up this shit from Fij without crosschecking.

Why did the commissioner lie about Lagos being the 7th largest economy in Africa with 41 trillion? Show us statistics that prove Fij otherwise.

Ask your commissioner who lied about Lagos being the 7th largest economy in Africa. Did he factor into account that there are countries too? This is what makes people attack most Yoruba in this forum instead of admitting that the commissioner erred you are here trying to spin it, this is why people will always have an impression about you people.

Dude give up you are fighting a losing battle here bring 2024 statistics let us compare first. Also did you admit that the commissioner made a false statement by saying Lagos is the 7th largest economy in Africa. Now ask the commissioner how he arrived at that figure what reference point did he use to make these calculations?
