There was no Lagos state in 1960. What we had was Lagos Federal Capital (former Lagos Colony).

That is the problem when leaders deliberately muddle things up for the young ones.

Lagos Capital of 1960 was Isale Eko, Victoria Island, Ikoyi, and part of Apapa.

Ketu, Ojota, Somolu, Bariga, Yaba, Isolo, Ikeja, Alimosho, Ipaja, Ikorodu, Epe, Lekki, Ajah, Badagary, Mushin, and Agege were all in Western State.

Lagos state was only created in 1967. And let me tell you the callous intention of what Gowon did in creating Lagos State.

Obafemi Awolowo created industrial estates in Ikeja, Isolo, Iganmu, Ilupeju, and co when those places were in Western State.

Gowon simply merged the industrial estates Awolowo created with Lagos Colony to form Lagos State in 1967. Awolowo created that industrial estate with cocoa money.

Lagos State is made up of 5 districts Ikeja, Badagry, Ikorodu, Lagos (Isale Eko), and Epe. Only one was Lagos Colony from 1914 to 1960. And that is Lagos Island. The remaining 4 districts were in Western Region.

So when those Ibos tell you their usual trash that they made Lagos or that Lagos was a former capital or that Lagos is no man's land, please don't join them.

What took my dad to Lagos was the industrial estate Awolowo created, not the federal capital. The same is the story for over 90% of the people in the state today.

This picture was taken on Carther Bridge, the only bridge linking Lagos Colony to Western Region. It was after Ojukwu attempted to blow it up that Awolowo facilitated the building of the Eko Bridge in 1975. Awolowo as the finance minister and de-facto number 2 to Gowon revolutionized the infrastructural development of the new Lagos state.

The generation of ungrateful Igbos contributed nothing, absolutely nothing to the development of Lagos. But they are the ones instigating you guys against your people. Lagos fed them. _Amun ni ilu Eko._ It never dries, it feeds everybody.

Look around Lagos State today, all you see are the works of Awolowo and Tinubu. After God who created Lagos strategically, Awolowo and Tinubu made it what it is today. Know this and know peace.

Copied.

This is what we have been saying all the time,

The only points APC willnuse to campaign are tribal rants and hate rhetorics.

Wake me up when APC starts to raise issue based politics.

Going back to bed.

So?
Who dey give una this copy and paste contract.

Hope the pay is good?

If tinubu was among the men who created Lagos state Nigeria.

Why has he chose to come to destroy Nigeria in a bid to become a president

Damn, you can't shame the shameless. So if Awolowo was to be alive today, he can be saying Emi lokan too abi? We should vote Awolowo as president for what he did in 1967?why are you people like this? Thank God the narrative is changing and nobody takes your propaganda seriously anymore. Imagine the drug addict, ffo ffk shamelessly campaigning for APC and Tinubu after his vituperations in 2014. Anyway nobody takes that neophyte serious. A man that can't even win Cansellorship election in his ward,is busy ranting against his betters. We no blame him, it's drug addicts alignment committee. I wonder why Dino left the group to join PDP, otherwise he is one of them.

A very useless mad man

nonsense how long did awolowo rule western region with Lagos mainland, how long was Lagos state created and mainland joined to be federal capital , when was Ikeja made Lagos state capital ?


24 years!!! that's the answer
that's how long the mainland was capital along with Lagos island that has been Nigeria's capital since 1914

Lagos state island and mainland owes its development to majorly being a former capital and port city any other thing na cap

just look at FCT (abuja) today, the bushland of yesterday is dragging IGR with Rivers

exactly awolowo didn't develop anywhere else its now Lagos

so it's awolowo that developed Lagos not tinubu again?

Why are Igbos so daft. Aside drugs, what else can you do with your brains. Never have you had the mental capacity to read & understand.
Did you read that the development of industrial estates of other divisions were never originally part of Lagos until they were carved into Lagos State in 1967?.. Did you know they were part of Ogun state until Gowon carved them as part of Lagos?.. So, how were they developed by the federal when they weren't part of federal capital?.
I just want to understand your ipob sense.

ur the daft one that can't understand that awolowo ruled the western region for too short a period compared to those places being part of federal capital from 1967-1991
anything awolowo did is too insignificant compared to that, not to mention that Lagos mainland would have been developed even during awolowo's rule due to close proximity to Lagos island, not to mention the ports there

Ok. I can now identify your problem. Your problem is the fact that you never imagined a fast paced development in such a short period of time unless such a person is white skinned or possesses a white brain?.
Do you know that aside the major infrastructures and free Education, within the same period, Awolowo was the first and only to have established an Embassy in the UK for Western Nigeria for diplomatic purposes?

They did mention the men responsible for the development of Lagos state and tinubu name is among them

How can Awolowo vacillate the building of EKO bridge when Awolowo left Gowon’s regime in 1971? Did Awolowo facilitate the building of the bridge as a private citizen? Please educate me.

Reading all these comments and a thread Fergie001 opened yesterday on PO leaked WhatsApp message

I can come to a conclusion, that whatever the outcome of 2023 election, the blood between Yorubas and Igbos will get worse
Oga Fergie001 was telling you this over the months and it can only get worse

Mr liar, Ogun state was created in 1976. So who was Lagos part of Ogun state that was yet to be created?

Take this to console your rubbish thread.

You people are just unnecessarily disgracing yourselves over nothing. Lagos is Lagos.

Lagos has attracted millions of people since the colonial days till this day. The major attractions of Lagos are the sea port and the airport located in the city. The colonial masters built the seaport in Apapa and linked it with the railway to carry goods to the North. They also developed the airport in Ikeja, which served as the major gateway for international travel for a long time.

While many other airports have been developed, which allows people to travel out of the country without the necessity of going through the airport in Lagos, not many seaports have been developed, which still makes Lagos a major commercial hub of the country. The seaport serves as the transit for export and import. It only makes economic sense for financial institutions to have their headquarters close-by to service their numerous customers.

As a former colonial capital and later the seat of the Federal Government of Nigeria, key military and defense institutions were sited in the city by the Nigerian government. Major army, navy and airforce baracks are situated in the city. Educational institutions established by the Nigerian federal government are also in numbers. A federal university in Akoka, many research institutions in Oshodi and so on and all of those things have made Lagos what it is.

All the major highways in Lagos were developed by the Nigerian government. Apart from Abuja, which became the Federal Capital Territory in 1991, there is no other city/state that the federal government of Nigeria developed as much as Lagos.

Even till this day, the federal government still financial substantial part of the projects in Lagos. The Lekki Seaport is part financed by the federal government, the rail lines are part financed, etc. The FG is also a guarantor for the heavy loans being used for some of the projects as well.

With all the already made major infrastructure in place, Lagos is the easiest state for anybody to govern. All a governor needs to do is maintain refuse collection and manage traffic. The Nigerian media would praise the governor, because Lagos is the home of the media in Nigeria.

The media don't hold a Lagos governor accountable for corruption as much as they hold other state governors. The only way a Lagos governor can see the wrath of the media is when refuse litter the streets or when the traffic situation becomes unbearable, such as the Apapa gridlock. Otherwise, you won't read anywhere that a Lagos governor did not provide amenities.

Go back in time and check how Nigerian media praised even the military administrators of Lagos during the draconian regimes of the military. The last guy that was there before Tinubu was Buba Marwa. He was the darling of the press and Lagosians. Tinubu did not know his left from his right in the early days of his government. Lagosians were quick to compare his lackluster performance those days with Marwa's, which was not a match.

Bro,leave them.Na hatred go kill some people.Sensible people know that there is difference between Lagos and Lagos state as there is difference between Enugu and Enugu state. Lagos as Nigeria capital is only in few local governments on the island and that's why you see nearly all federal government offices..Infact looking at Ikeja as Lagos state capital ,the only federal govt project in the whole of Ikeja is the airport which was only upgraded by the military govt but has been in existence before 1920.
