but he vacate the same year, cus he emerged VC through false means.








Though Eni njoku never an igbo man, he was an ogbo man as u claimed

InyinyaAgbaOku:

White people developed the Lagos of old, not Awolowo.
After independence, Lagos changed from colony to capital. It was never under western region politics . in essence, Lagos was developed by whites and fed govt, with contributions from cosmopolitan Nigeria.

codemaniacs:


there was no federal income then.... regions contributed to the center Lagos was already developed before it was made the capital of Nigeria. groundnut didn't do anything for the north, the east was quite developed but their resources didn't boost it....

All the regions were relying on the SW cocoa, palm oil e.t.c. the east just had to be patient because oil boom was about to happen.... but they messed things up for themselves and the whole south.

AreaFada2:


What? No federal income? No duties, taxes, etc? I give up.

codemaniacs:


Each region retained most of its income instead of contributing to a central govt because there was no central govt...

Do u know how rich the SS would have been if the SE leaders had been patient.

I can buy yah fada

Nwokoji1:
Wait I don't understand, OP do you mean you took all these Pictures with your Boom J8? I thought it was an Old Picture??

3rdlegxxx:
1st off what part does Boom Tecno J8 play in all this..... and those pics really had lagos looking neat and all

chigoizie7:
What went wrong?

The only picture that caught my attention was where cyclist were busy maintaining their lanes, even when it is obvious there is a "go slow" there and the main road was free, but no one dared enter the main road, they were all maintaining their go slow pace.

If I hear say such thing fit happen for lagos of today

tr3y:


These days where Danfo will enter pedestrian lane not to talk of bicycle.

I wonder what kind of structure/law was in place back then that made people conform like that.

derrick333:
white men left too early

jmichlins:

AreaFada2:


Read carefully: I wrote SW generally.
But there is no denying that people educated in former Western region under Awo education programme made immense contribution to Lagos development: academics, industrialists, journalists, politicians, etc.

Even the whites you are talking of, local taxes funded those developments. Returnee former slaves like the Brazilians also much influenced business, architecture, social scene, intellectual strides, political progress etc.

InyinyaAgbaOku:

Are Brazilians Yoruba people? What are you saying ?
Lagos went from colony to capital ,and all the while and now, is being developed by Nigerians from everywhere by virtue of it's former status.
Awo didn't do anything in Lagos , and you wonder why the rest of SW doesn't come close. It's actually Lagos that helps the other SW like nearby Ogun .
