Lagos airport was built during World war 2 in the 40s and renamed Murtala airport by FGN in the 70s

There was no oil money in the 40s when airport was built

Apapa seaport has been since the 1800 before oil was discovered

Railway
The British government began construction of a railway from Lagos Colony to Ibadan in March 1896. The Lagos Government Railway began operations in March 1901 and was extended to Minna in 1911, where it met the Baro–Kano Railway that was built by the government of Northern Nigeria between 1907 and 1911. The two lines were amalgamated in 1912 into the Government Department of Railways, the predecessor to the Nigerian Railway Corporation. The railway reached its northeastern terminus of Nguru in 1930

Carter bridge in Lagos was built in 1901 before the discovery of oil


In all these your half truths
No oil money
Yet palm oil was the money spinner from the south south
Why was jaja of opobo dethroned
You no history so well but forgot the south borrowed the north money when they couldn't generate enough to take care of their region

All the infrastructures I'm going to mention now were built by Federal Government, I challenge you to disclaim any them.

Airport
Seaport
Bridges
Roads
Rails
All Ministry headquarters
Lagos state government house


Please which one did your state government build?


Secondly, I will challenge you to travel outside Lagos, go to the East or South, you will never mention states with mud houses in their capital as progressive.

Then for ministries

Jakande built the government building that houses all the State Government ministries during his time as the military Governor of lagos State.

Also for your information Lagos Television (LTV), LASU, Lagos Radio, Lagos State Govt., Assembly Complex, low cost houses at surulere, abesan, ikorodu, iba, badagry etc, VI/Epe road and so on were achieved by Jakande.

Lagos has potential for growth right from time and many of her Governors has really tried may be except Olagunsoye Oyinlola.

There's no state after investing much heavy infrastructures like Lagos that wouldn't attract people or investors.
Example who goes to Abuja till it was made capital, government invested heavily to make it whatever it is today, not the people of Abuja.

Almost all fore mentioned projects are proposed. That means Lagos would have had just one bridge, the Lekki Bridge.

And whatever gains Lagos, has gotten is because of the investment of the Federal government towards infrastructural development.

It's wrong for a Yoruba in the course of discussion to tell any Nigerian from any part to go back to there region, because the resources used in developing Lagos comes from Niger Delta. Till today, Lagos still enjoy huge federal allocation.

Lagos didn't develop in the adsence of many aids coming from a part of the South, that's my point.

Well for overhead bridges we have Okota-Itire link bridge built by Fashola...

Other military Governors too built Overhead bridges like
Johnson Mobolaji constructed the Itoikin bridge, falomo bridge...... then also built Bagagry express road and the ikorodu road. Jakande built the Lekki road, isolo fly over bridge, yaba fly over, thousands of low cost housing units, LASU etc. Mudashiru built housing units, ikorodu road, abeokuta motor road etc, Marwa built jakande road, agidingbi road, the house of assembly complex etc. Tinubu built agege motor rd, itire road, ikotun-igando rd

So many roads built by these Governors.

See to me in one word Lagos development is sole orchestrated by the Governors of Lagos State. From the military governors to the civilians ones.
So its not FG. I hope you get my brother. Lagos is for everyone in Nigeria and such development could happen anywhere in Nigeria. Look at Uyo, Akpabio really tried there and Udom too is trying. The duo has completely transformed Uyo and today to me after Abuja and Lagos, Uyo is next in terms of development. My prayers is that God will bless all Nigerian States with sincere and visionary Governors.

Then as regards FG ALLOCATION and resources from Niger Delta... you are not correct Sir. Lagos Survived on its own during Tinubu's time without allocation from FG for some time because of the rift btw Tinubu and Obasanjo. Infact that was when it was discovered that Lagos could stand alone as a true state.

See Lagos is under western region... Western Region was developed thru Agriculture.... Cocoa and co. Then now Lagos has the largest economical activities in Africa. Lagos is the financial hub of Africa so nothing like resources from Niger Delta

Thanks

Coming from ignorant ipob troll who just asserted that the industrial estates packed up.


Is Ikeja industrial still not the most productive industrial estate in Nigeria, what about Matori, Mushin, Ilupeju, Apapa and Oluyole, do you mind listing which one of them packed up?

You Igbos are just too ignorant for your own good.

In fact, when Awo was building industrial estates, what was useless ZIK and your village leaders in the Eastern region doing? Exactly what was achieved that's even still standing today in the SE? Nothing.

It's unfortunate that people without knowledge of history will be peddling illusion against some gullible individuals.

Since you don't know,let me educate you.

The current international airport terminal was built and commissioned over 40 years ago, in 1978.The terminal opened officially March,15,1979. The airport had been known simply as the Lagos International Airport. It was however, re-named for the late Nigerian Head of State, General Murtala Muhammed, who died.

Awolowo also instituted Industrial estates like Oluyole industrial estate in Ibadan; Ilupeju industrial estate in Lagos why aren't Oluyole Industrial Estate in Ibadan not doing better than that of Lagos, since it was his initiative that brought Lagos this far? Need I remind you that Ilupeju isn't developed by any standard.
Mischievous somebody.
Lagos airport was self sustaining.

Why did you leave out Ikeja industrial estate??

This is what ignorant people from backward and unproductive village to justify the incompetence by their own useless village governors.


FG investments in Lagos is the reason and the usual excuse why other states are backward even though they are richer than Lagos state, even though they have 5 times less population and responsibilities than Lagos state, even though they collect deviations and even have NDDC billions of dollars they embezzle every year..


Instead of talking about the uselessness, crookedness and incompetent clowns you call leaders, you shout and wail about other states as if their leaders are responsible for the lack of progress and development in your states.

Question? When Delta and the other states in the SS collect their huge allocations, derivations, IGR and NDDC billions, do they send them to Lagos satte for Lagos state to spend?


Is Lagos state or the FG responsible for Delta state's huge debt that they have nothing to show for?

He said part of the challenges faced by the South-south is defining well-articulated and implementable development agenda, adding, “A lot has been done in the region over the years but they have not translated to meaningful development to benefit our people, as the region remains one of the least developed in the country when you review what we earn as a region.”



The Children of hate & sadness won’t see this to work on. Their main focus is to keep displaying nonsense around the country.
There are different problems, number one is lack of a strong and active citizenship involvement in government. That is a problem all over the country. It is obvious wike is too involved in party politics, the state's resources may also be used for party politics. The people need to pressure him to focus on local issues and governance. In addition, still mend fences with the federal government Who have a larger influence in Inter state commerce.

The other issue is the weakening of state's civil service. In the 60's and 70's, the regional and state civil service had competent people but now most are in federal service. You need local information to plan a real development. Information about the income of people living in local governments, choice of economic activity, skill level, unemployment rate and such. A competent administration will get this information and createte economic programs targetting areas that will benefit a signoficant number of people. What you have in nigeria is substandard politics 101, bring me projects where the people can see I am doing something even though we do not know how the project has improved to sustainable economoc development, especially since ghe choice of contractor is corrupt and the government itself will get kickback from it. Corruption in government is not about wanton stealing it is about finding projects that will get the people's support while you put in your contractor and use the project to loot. But the long term significance of yue project may be negligible.
