Cantonese: Bravo! Bravo!! Bravo!!! Anyone reading indepth analysis would know that this man is not just honest but also old enough to know Lagos of the olden days. I salute you sir and everyone countering Tinubu's desperate lies. Tinubu only increased Lagos tax base and channeled it to his bullion vans. Tinubu, you can lie all you want but Nigerians know the truth. You're too sick, old and criminal minded to rule Nigeria, especially now everything is in disarray. Going from Buhari to Tinubu will be like going from frying pan to fire. God forbid BAT thing!!! 1 Like |

Corporate2020: Lies! Lies!! Lies!!! Lokoja was only provincial capital in the North while Calabar was capital for Southern protectorates that comprised only the present SE and SS! When North and South protectorates was merged in 1914, Lagos automatically became our capital and remained so until 1993. That's a whopping 79 years!!! It's either you're ignorant or just mischievous. 3 Likes |

Tinubu never turned Lagos to mega city. He did his part and others played their part too. However he has no business seating at the helm of affairs of this nation at this stage of his life. He is not fit mentally, physically, health-wise and psychologically. How then can such a man rule this huge nation. Some of you are just supporting him for sentimental reasons, not because you actually believe he is capable. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Ozinlex: Truely, you grew up In Lagos. However, none of the schools you mentioned above were state schools. in-fact, if you didn't attend a Federal or missionary owned school in Lagos...you are almost doomed. You may want to answer the questions? What happens to garbage from your house at the time, without carrying on your head to dump by the roads side almost half a kilometer away? what Cinemas were functional at the time? How did you get around long distances in Lagos without the terrible 911 (Molue) buses? Victoria Island was predominantly residential, Even the entire Lekki as you see it now was a large swamp and mash land. Give the man some respect. He has paid his dues and does have bragging rights...there's no one like him in this era of Nigerian politicians 2 Likes |

Cantonese: Respect! Till today, no one Governor has matched Jakande's developmental strides especially in the area of housing. A former federal capital that hosted international events like Festac 77, someone is claiming to have discovered it. It's the same way Mungo Park claimed to have discovered a pre existing River Niger that had fishermen fishing on it for years before he was born and took the credit and is still being documented in history books around the world as the man who discovered River Niger. 1 Like |

Brigadier Buba Marwa, the former military governor of Lagos State before Tinubu came performed better than Tinubu. There was no way Tinubu would not have performed less than he did because Buba Marwa led the foundation and involved the people. The Direct labour Agency of Marwa was constructing roads all over the state with direct labour but Tinubu drop it because he could not make money from it. Instead, he started using contractors. In housing Marwa performed better than Tinubu. How can Lagos be a jungle? So Tinubu is now in agreement with Nnamdi Kanu that Nigeria is a zoo. Even before Tinubu came, Lagos was the most developed state in Nigeria and it was a jungle. Why can't Tinubu say the truth for once. |

Cantonese: Tinubu built and reconstructed Itire road, Ijaye road. A lot roads in Lagos were mud roads and sandy roads or roads filled with deep pot holes.. Tinubu created BRT which Fashola completed, LAWMA, LASMA, RRS, Hydro power plant and LASUTH remodernization, EKO ATLANTICS, Alpha beta, lekki toll gate and creation of more local govts which created more jobs and employment especially for Yoruba people.. Like you said Tinubu began a revenue drive that makes Lagos work better.. the same way parents work to make the lives of their children better than what they had when they were children.. Would Lagos have been able to maintain the infrastructure it had on a N600m monthly IGR and even build more infrastructure, before Tinubu started the revenue drive your parents wealth and your own wealth between 1974 and 2022 did it remain the same can you survive on the same income you earned in 1974 and use that same income to survive in 2022 did your salary between 1974 and 2022 remain the same 1 Like |

What a very poor, ignorant, unintelligent, foolish, irritating and arrogant statement from a sick man. What is wrong with this frogged eyed man? What nonsense. Is he the one created or established Lagos? He spent only 8 years as Governor and that's it. So annoying. . Nigerians need to teach this clown a lesson. |

Very inconsequential decision! Lagos structure and plan was already there before tinubu, in fact there is no governor of lagos that never performed(jakande, marwa, oyinlola, Raji rasaki, etc) . I used to tell a friend then, bring Alao akala to lagos and see if he wont perform because the revenue and structure is there, no rural area developments in lagos because this had been taken care of when Lagos was still federal capital unlike other states that need huge amounts of funds for rural development. The claimed that he raised the lagos IGR, are u saying the IGR is still the same he left it... ABEG LET BABA REST donaldking100: 1 Like |

noblemuk:I lived on V/I for 20 years and Ikoyi for 7 years. At no time did we carry garbage on our heads and dump by the roads side almost half a kilometer away. The Garbage collectors were late most times and garbage would pile up, but they were were operational. Tinubu did not introduce garbage trucks to Lagos. There were cinemas all over Lagos from 70s to 80s. I used to go to National Theatre and the Cinema on Moloney late 70s. In fact then there were Cinemas all over Lagos, Ibadan, Warri and and Benin. It was the advent of VHS players that killed Cinemas. It was Silverbird Entertainment that brought a resurgence of Cinemas and not Tinubu. Yes V/I was predominantly residential for Federal government workers before Capital was moved to Abuja. After the capital was moved and government parastatals was moved to Abuja, most of the houses were sold to individuals and companies. Lekki development started with Jakande, who opened up the Lekki-Epe corridor. Iekki phase 1 was developed way Tinubu. Maroko was demolished and converted to Oniru Estate well before Tinubu. VGC was developed way before Tinubu. So it is safe to say that the Lekki Epe corridor was an ongoing development started by Jakande and continued by subsequent governors including Tinubu. But to assign the whole development to Tinubu is disingenuous.
Also give other governors their dues - ie Jakande, Marwa, Raji Rasaki, Fashola and Ambode. Tinubu main strengths is he knows how to manipulate the political system to put his cronies and family in power. Same as Ibori. If Ibori had hounded by Jonathan not been jailed, he would have had an iron grip of delta politics, even more than Tinubu in Lagos. 1 Like 1 Share |
