Abia State Cannot Be a Mega City Like Lagos in 15 Years — Gov. Otti Governor Alex Otti of Abia State has said the state’s economic ambition is not to rival Lagos as a mega city within the next 15 years but to position itself as a viable alternative destination for businesses and investors. Speaking on Tuesday at the Invest Lagos 3.0 forum, Otti stressed that Nigeria’s economic growth should not be concentrated in Lagos alone, arguing that other states must develop their economies to ease pressure on the nation’s commercial capital. The governor commended Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu for creating a platform that allows states to showcase their investment potential. “It takes a lot of selflessness to invite other states to take advantage of a platform to market themselves, and I assure you I will not demarket you as I market myself,” Otti said. While acknowledging Lagos’ status as Nigeria’s commercial hub, Otti said the country’s development would benefit from the emergence of additional economic centres. “Lagos is a mega city. If you ask me, I would say it is overpopulated, and that is why it is good for other states to begin to grow, so that they can take what Lagos cannot take. And that’s where we come in. We can’t be a mega city in the next 10 years or 15 years, but there are things we can take off Lagos,” he stated. Making a pitch to investors, Otti highlighted reforms in Aba, Abia’s commercial centre, noting that the city now enjoys uninterrupted electricity supply. He also revealed that the Ariaria International Market has been transformed into a 24-hour market, a move he said is boosting commerce and productivity. According to the governor, his administration is focused on creating a business-friendly environment through improved infrastructure, reliable power supply and investor-friendly policies. Otti added that strengthening state economies across the country would not only reduce pressure on Lagos but also promote balanced national growth and development.

In 1898, the federally appointed postmaster for Lake City, South Carolina, Frazier Baker, was lynched, along with his baby daughter, Julia. This was a lynching by bullets, which also hit his wife, Lavinia and four of their children. The crime which incensed the white mob that descended on their house (also the town post office)? That of being a black postmaster - no more, no less. And no one was ever convicted. White supremacists all over the South were infuriated at President McKinley's postings of Black federal employees; he had spoken out against lynching in order to secure the Black vote when he was running for president. This sentiment led directly to the massacre in Wilmington later that year, which destroyed the Black prosperity in that North Carolina port and turned the previously majority-Black town majority-White, practically overnight. It also dismantled the rising and theretofore successful Fusionist party, a coalition of working class Blacks and Whites. This picture was taken after Lavinia Baker and her five surviving children escaped and relocated up to Boston; the faces say it all. People love to talk about 'get over it' and 'slavery was so long ago' and 'Black people love to be victims' - when the issue is truly systemic and not dismantled in a day. We will be fighting the results of how our society was formed (and how that formation is protected by white supremacy to this day) for a long time. And let's not forget that the white poor (and that of every other race) also get left behind in this scheme which only benefits the few.

Ladies, enjoy these last few hours with your man 😂 The World Cup starts tomorrow.

@instablog9ja This is heartbreaking. Biology matters, but so do the 20+ years of love, sacrifice, and responsibility you gave those children. No one can erase the father you chose to be. I hope you find healing and the truth you deserve.

@aproko_doctor True. We are drowning in information but starving for wisdom. Knowing many things isn't the same as understanding them.

So much information, very little learning. That is world we live in today
