Lagos Made Tinubu. He Came To Lagos Like Any Other Person by foryourmindok: 1:51pm On Jul 01, 2022 |
The Iragbaji-born convicted drug dealer Tinubu entered night bus and came to Lagos like every other person and luckily for him, he made money - just like Olamide, Otedola, and all others who made it in Lagos. He should be happy and be thanking Lagos for making him not turning around to tell us that he built Lagos that was the capital of Nigeria and the only seaport in West Africa in 1880. 2 Likes

Lagos is a blessing for many. However, he was nobody before he got to USA. Got back to Nigeria a qualified accountant, working with mulitnationals from where he made a foray into politics. His trajectory was set from the minute he sojourned for his degree abroad. Interestingly, Tinubu made Lagos even more an attraction for all kinds of businesses - from the shopping malls to the IT companies, to even the refined cab services. Enjoy Lagos and those who keep making it a place to love. 49 Likes |

Golan007:Lol. Stop quoting Fashola's work as Tinubu's. Thiefnubuu only succeeded in plugging a pipeline from Lagos state treasury to his home in Budilon. With alphabeta, LCC and outrageous pension he collects from Lagos state government (and the fact he still controls succeeding governors as puppets), Tinubu is a curse to Lagos than a blessing. With the amount of human and capital resources available in Lagos alongside its strategic positioning with the only working seaport in Nigeria, Lagos should be competing with Dubai if somebody like Seyi Makinde or Peter Obi handle Lagos for straight 16 years. 1 Like 2 Shares |

foryourmindok: At Independence the Capital was less than 5% of today's lagos ,95% of which was in Awolowo’s Western Region The dream that made lagos an Economic Powerhouse was awolowo's dream awolowo was busy trying to Overtake Europe It may seem hilarious in today’s Nigeria but that is the Truth awolowo built Ikeja including its industrial estates From the Scratch out of a jungle where Elephants, leopards, and Gorillas were still roaming around, into the Capital of the western region awolowo was building Modern Cattle Ranches all over the western region with Cattle Imported from Isreal in 1956 !! Awolowos western region had Television’ before France ! awolowo had big dreams for his People, Singapore and Dubai were too small compared to what awolowo was aiming for With all humility , awolowo outperformed the British The dream that turned lagos into an Economic Powerhouse was Awolowos dream awolowo was Jailed for that dream Jakande, Tinubu, Fashola, Ambode, Sanwo Olu continued with that dream 43 Likes |

foryourmindok: It's strange how you blame Tinubu for all the vices of the city including the fabled "Lekki Massacre", yet you refuse to accept he's reaponsible for the positives. I can say authoritatively that there was no EPZ, Lagos stopped at VI extension (Lekki) until that entire thouroughfare was created and widened from Tinubu's time as governor. I know, in many states, perhaps yours, there's no continuity, but Lagos, by virtue of its first custodian since return to civilian rule, has kept a promise. That promise is a master plan, which successive governments, all from the same cloth i may add, which ensures Lagos continues to be the number 1 investment destination in Nigeria, bar none. Tinubu saw ahead and ensured this continues for years to come. 41 Likes |

How did Western Nigeria get her first television station before France if France started broadcasting in the1930s while that of Western Nigeria came into place in the 50s!?

Christistruth00: That may be true. However, we need to note that many other states had visonaries though it is questionable what became of their succesors. For instance, it is well belived that the late Ambrose Alli was a visionary. The Igbenedions and Iboris who took over in 1999, destroyed what such visions could have turned out to be. 39 Likes |

Christistruth00: "Awolowos Lagos"? Oh Lordi, Lordi!! How!? After that rascal named Akintola chased him away? Anything territorial that was added to Lagos post independence, happened under the military, especially after the second coup of July 29 1966 led by Gowon! By then, your inebriated Awolowo has already gone to jail and was only SERVING Gowon as an ordinary minister and no more a regional premier! So how did he create your phantom "Awolowos Lagos" then!?!? 1 Like 1 Share |

Christistruth00: Hello?!?! Are you drunk on Tinupoos pee or something!? Radio-PTT Vision (1935–1937) Following successful trials of a "high-definition" 455-line electronic television system designed by Thomson-Houston which improved on the 405-line system originally designed by EMI-Marconi, Radio-PTT Vision renamed itself as Radiodiffusion nationale Télévision (RN Télévision) in July 1937. However, broadcasts using the Nipkow disk system continued alongside the new electronic system until 10 April 1938. [b]In July 1938, a decree of the French PTT agency fixed the French terrestrial television standard as transmitting on 455 lines VHF (46 MHz, positive modulation, 25 frames per second), to be adopted throughout France within three years. The adoption of the electronic standard marked the end of mechanical television in France, and the advent of electronic television to obtain much better image quality. [/b]RN Télévision abruptly stopped broadcasts on 3 September 1939 following the entry of France into the Second World War. Link: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/TF1 |

Christistruth00: Dude, ask your uncles, If they are going to be frank to you, they will tell you that for all his foibles, Gowon as The president, set the stage for post colonial modern Lagos. The bridges, the ports, the highways. Don't take my words for it. Ask around from truthful Yorubas! Gowon did more of his post war "reconstructions" in Lagos than in the East where the war actually happened... Infact , even General Buba Marwa as the military administrator of Lagos, did more in setting Lagos up as a would be successful story than your Tinupoo. What else did Tinupoo do, apart from "tax and spend"? |

For long, you Tinupoo and Awolowo minions have been spreading this sorts of alarming falsehoods and because no one considers these serious enough to disprove, you now seem to be determined to believe your own invented propaganda..

foryourmindok: Rather, Lagos built him, see how: See what Tinubu collects from Lagos State government since leaving office in 2007 by the law passed by him as governor: 1. 300% annual salary as severance package as approved by RMAFAC. 2. 100% of annual basic salary of incumbent gov as salary for LIFE even after leaving office. 3. Six new cars every 3 years 4. A new house in Lagos, minimum 5 bedroom 5. A new house in Abuja or any other location, minimum 5 bedroom. 6. Free medical care for him and members of his family for life. 7. Entitled to cooks, stewards, Gardners, and domestic staffs, all pensionable. 8. 300% of his annual basic salary as governor every 2 years as furniture allowance 9. 100% of annual basic salary as governor as his house maintenance allowance 10. Two DSS officers, 1 female officer for his wife and eight policemen to guard him. 11. 25% of his annual basic salary for personal assistants. 12. 30% of his annual basic salary for car maintenance . 13. 20% of his annual basic salary as utilities maintenance. 14. Pensionable drivers, no limits to the number. This is apart from what he gets as a percentage of collections from Alpha Beta for tax collections for Lagos State and the total control he has over the governor and the treasury. But See what Peter Obi collects from Anambra State since leaving office as governor: 1. No gratuity 2. No pensions 3. No houses 4. No cars 5. No allowances of any kind 6. No maintenances of any kind. 7. No personal assistants paid by the state. 8. No domestic staffs paid by the state. 9. No aids sponsored by the state. 10. Not even pure water. 11. No shishi from the State. So choose you today who means well for Nigeria and who will serve the people selflessly. Am just exposing your mind to see the truth. It is now your decision to make and to convince others. Use your reasoning. Vote and support wisely. 1 Like 1 Share |
