Videos of the commissioning of Oba Oyekan Estate, Lekki, Millenium Estate Ajah (which was later renamed Abraham Adesanya Estate) and other estates.
naptu2: I'm expecting to enjoy a battle this morning. I can't wait till he wakes up and reads what's happening.
I have friends from every part of the political spectrum and one of my friends that's an Obidient and another that is a Batist have entertained me all through the past few months. I expect them to wage a battle this morning.
What happened?
An obidient (that I don't know) issued a challenge. The person listed 15 housing estates that Governor Lateef Jakande built in Lagos (I have told you all about the Jakande Estates) and challenged anybody to list 10 estates that were built by Governor Tinubu. The person offered to give ₦500,000 to anyone that lists 10 estates that Tinubu built.
I laughed when I saw the challenge because I have videos of the commissioning of the estates that Governor Tinubu built, so I knew that she would lose the challenge.
As expected, someone listed 15 estates that Governor Tinubu built and he included pictures of newspaper stories of the commissioning of the estates. He then challenged anybody to list 10 estates that Peter Obi built in Anambra State.
Someone else came and offered to give ₦500,000 to anyone that can list 10 estates that Peter Obi built. Another person upped the ante by offering ₦400,000 to anybody that can list 10 estates or schools that Peter Obi built in Anambra.
Someone else (that I know) reposted these challenges and instead of my friend (who is an Obidient) to supply a list, he has gone on a tirade and is insulting the person that reposted the challenge. I am very sure that my friend that is a Batist will respond when he wakes up and I can't wait for the entertainment.
commoditiesnig: Lol.. As someone replied you.. you ignorant lots think you know more than inside people.. GEJ wife say Tinubu supported her husband, you say not true.. who you be?
Truly in 2011 Tinubu supported Jonathan, although he (initally) backed Ribadu. I believe BAT struck a deal with GEJ to support him.
I saw the helicopter as it landed at Dodan Barracks that evening and I saw the motorcade as it left Bourdillon.
Furthermore, it's not just about brick and mortar structures. I can still show you many more videos of commissioning of schools, residential estates and roads, but it's not just about that.
Governor Tinubu set up LASAMBUS, the first publicly available ambulance service in Nigeria, his government set up the emergency short codes 112 and 767 (this was after the failure of the Nitel 199).
He set up LASTMA to improve traffic management.
He set up KAI.
I am sure that the people on this thread are too young to know that he started the BRT system. I can remember how people criticised him on radio and on Nairaland when they publicised the BRT in 2006, yet everybody now enjoys it.
A certain person was complaining on Nairaland many years ago. Why?
Look at Bola Tinubu's cap and look at the seats at the Teslim Balogun Stadium. The seats at the stadium are designed to recreate the broken shackles logo on Tinubu's cap. The person was grumbling because of the logo.
Governor Tinubu answering the question of how was the state able to afford the Millenium Schools and whether the state was strong enough financially to maintain them.
naptu2: I created an entire thread about this (unfortunately the pictures no longer show unless you click on the links), but here's a summary.
1) LAGOS HOUSE, MARINA
Major General Johnson Thomas Aguiyi-Ironsi summoned Major Mobolaji Johnson (who was serving in Warri) and told him that he had a lot of work and a lot of problems to solve and that he couldn't deal with the problems of Lagos (the federal capital), so he wanted Major Johnson to deal with them for him. He therefore made Major Johnson the administrator of the Federal Capital Territory, Lagos.
In order to make the work easier, he gave Major Johnson the former residence of the chief secretary of the Colonial Government. The house was right next to State House, Marina (where General Ironsi lived). That house became Lagos House, Marina.
In 1967 General Gowon made Lagos a state and he gave Lagos the former Prime Minister's Residence to use as its secretariat. The former prime minister's residence is now the ECOWAS compound (opposite Island Club) at Onikan.
Brigadier Mobolaji Johnson, Commodore Adekunle Lawal, Commodore Ndubuisi Kanu and Commodore Ebitu Ukiwe lived at Lagos House, Marina.
General Murtala Muhammed made Ikeja the capital of Lagos State in 1976. Although Lagos State offices began to spring up in the Oba Akinjobi area of Ikeja (Old Secretariat), the governor continued to live and work on Lagos Island.
Alhaji Lateef Jakande was elected governor in 1979 and he decided to make Ikeja a real capital. He built the Round House (Governor's Office) and the State Secretariat at Alausa.
However, Governor Jakande did not like depending on government resources (for example, he continued to use his personal car, a Toyota Cressida, when he was governor. He even used the same car when he was minister of works in the 1990s), so he chose to live in his personal house at Ilupeju.
2) State House, Isaac John Street, Ikeja GRA:
There was a coup on December 31st, 1983 and General Buhari appointed Air Commodore Gbolahan Mudashiru as the military governor of Lagos. (Comodore Mudashiru served from 1984 till 1986, both in the Buhari and Babangida administrations).
Mudashiru's wife did not trust government positions. Firstly, she didn't like the idea of commuting from Lagos House Marina on Lagos Island, to the Governor's office (Round House) in Alausa, Ikeja every day (remember that the Third Mainland Bridge had not been completed then).
Secondly, she believed that a governor could be removed at any time and she didn't want any problems like moving house at short notice or accounting for government property.
Therefore, they found a house in Ikeja for the governor to stay. The house was not far from their personal house and they left most of their things in their personal house and went there often.
The new house was on Isaac John Street at Ikeja GRA. Air Commodore Midashiru, Navy Captain Mike Akhigbe, Colonel Raji Rasaki, Sir Michael Otedola, Colonel Olagunsoye Oyinlola and Colonel Mohammed Buba Marwa lived there.
There were bomb attacks on Governor Marwa's motorcade as he went to work in 1996. He therefore decided to move to Lagos House, Marina, which was right beside Flag Staff House, Marina and was therefore much safer.
Marwa, Tinubu and Fashola lived in Marina, while State House, Isaac John Street became the governor's guest house.
There was a fire at Lagos House Marina when Tinubu was governor and he temporarily moved to Isaac John Street while Lagos House was being renovated.
3) Lagos House, Alausa:
Governor Mike Okhai Akhigbe decided to build a proper residence and office for the governor, but his plan didn't get anywhere because, as I told you, Nigeria had financial crisis in the 1980s. The project was started and stopped in 1987 and Governor Akhigbe was transfered in 1988 and Rasaki became governor and the project was abandoned.
Governor Bola Tinubu decided to build the governor's residence and office. Lagos House, Alausa was completed and commissioned in 2007 (20 years after the project began).
The Round House (the old governor's office) was handed over to the deputy governor and it became the deputy governor's office. The Lagos State Governor now works at Lagos House, Alausa.
Governor Tinubu had thought that his successor would live at Lagos House, Alausa, but Governor Fashola chose to live at Lagos House, Marina. However, Governor Ambode lived at Alausa, but Governor Sanwo-Olu lives at Marina.
Yet the person on that thread said that Bola Tinubu did not build any government house. Isn't that funny?
Stadium
There once was a small stadium at Surulere called UAC Stadium. I don't quite remember the history of the stadium, but it was used for Principals Cup matches in the early 1980s.
UAC Stadium was demolished in 1985 and the Lagos State Government decided to build a new stadium called Teslim Balogun Stadium. Once again, the project was abandoned and nothing was done. There was no money. The land became a home for homeless people and (well you can guess what I wanted to write here, I don't want to attract the bot).
Then Governor Bola Tinubu decided to build the stadium. I am happy that he decided to build it, but I quarrel with the fact that he decided to use the original design. That thing was designed in 1985 and the design had become dated by the early 2000s.
Anyway, the stadium was commissioned in 2007 and the first match was a friendly between Enyimba and Asante Kotoko.
Lagos House, Alausa and the Teslim Balogun Stadium were among the projects that were commissioned just before Governor Tinubu left office.
Yet somebody said that Tinubu did not build any stadium.
I have previously posted a link to a list of projects that Tinubu did (Abraham Adesanya Estate, Millenium Schools, roads, etc) and I have also posted videos of the commissioning on this thread, but someone said that Tinubu did nothing when he was governor.
Videos of the commissioning of Oba Oyekan Estate, Lekki, Millenium Estate Ajah (which was later renamed Abraham Adesanya Estate) and other estates.

Taslim created a thread because he attached pictures of newspaper articles to each tweet, but I am going to combine the tweets together. I am obviously not going to post the pictures (because of nairaland's restrictions).

Less I forget, tell the to bring before and after videos and newspaper publications of just 5 government owned public schools renovated by Peter Obi. I want to check something.
Seunolu @xabelpro1
There's also TOS Benson Estate with low and medium housing bungalows at Ikorodu and so many others.
Most people don't understand why Tinubu is highly rated in Lagos. We seem to have forgotten so many projects of Tinubu because of the noise of the opposition.
Pastor Okezie J. Atani @Onsogbu
There is an offer of N500,000 for anyone who can provide 10 housing estates built by Peter Obi
Another offer of N400,000 for anyone who can provide 5 schools Peter Obi built during his tenure.
It is understood that he kept money in a bank because he has built low-cost housing estates and schools, but there is an offer to dash out N900,000 for anyone with the list of the houses and schools.
