Many may not know that the history of Lagos dates as far back as 1866 to 1874, a time that Lagos was even a part of the Gold Coast, which today is what is known as Ghana!

But that is not even the issue here. The issue here is, who is the architect of Modern Lagos?

That evidently has little or no contention. Little, because we have politicians around with hidden agenda, who would rather deny credit be given to who deserves the credit.

2023 Presidency: The choice before Nigerians
Ahead 2023: Ejele, a big fish in a big pond
And why should credit be given to Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu? It is because the structures are all in our faces today, for unbiased minds to see!


In each era in each city, a personality stands out as a leader or inspiration to guide such magnitude development that surpasses other leaders. In Western Nigeria, we had Chief Obafemi Awolowo, in Ghana we had Jerry Rawlings, and in Rwanda currently we have Paul Kagame and in Lagos currently, we have Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

True, Alhaji Lateef Jakande held the baton at a time, which was handed over to Tinubu who revolutionised Lagos when and after he got to the political scene.

Tinubu emerged in the Lagos political scene as governor between 1999 and 2007.

During the period of other governors, the space we know as Lagos literally ended between Isale Eko, Obalende, Race course, Ikoyi, Falomo and Victoria Island. And in the mainland we had Yaba, Surulere, Shomolu, Bariga, Ojota which ended with the market in Ketu that was coming up, Ikorodu was a little town accessed perhaps only by the indigenes and a few friends, Ikeja had come up but was mainly the GRA and the Secretariat. Life ended at Agege and going further was travelling effort to Otta and then (Egba) Abeokuta, with no major roads as we have it today. Life also ended at Mile 2, with a stretch of bush and forest Festac Town, until LASU. After that were small towns like ijanikin, Agbara, and then Badagry.

Then came the Master Planner and Master Strategist and the Architect of Modern Lagos: Tinubu.

Construction and expansion became the order of the day. Where Jakande tried, Tinubu remodelled and re-built, introducing new towns. Lekki came to be. Ajah unto Epe and even linking Epe road to Ijebu Ode. Banana Island saw the light of day as a fall out and such were enabled by vigorous, ambitious infrastructural support that metamorphosised a Bar Beach which was an annual overflow menace for residents of Victoria Island, to a Super Mega City now known as Eko Atlantic City!

But that’s not all, Tinubu followed up with subsequent governors of Lagos to ensure continuity of the Mega City plan for Lagos. The creation of Lekki free trade zone area for industrialisation became possible to compliment the numerous estates that had sprung up in that axis.

The Chinese saw the vision. Top industrialists like Dangote and others, tapped into the vision and today, an airport, a refinery, a deep sea port and more are all taking shape as a near future feature of this area.

Tinubu’s expansion did not stop with the island, it has been simultaneous, on going in all areas, the emergence of Ikorodu with modern infrastructures, viable transport system, Agege, with surrounding and extending new towns, Alakuko, Egbeda, right down to LASU and on to Badagry, which has also been enabled by his vision to create the extra LCDAs to champion these extensive rural developments.

Tinubu was the first governor in Nigeria to approach the Stock Market for funding of projects in the state. That can only come from the mind of a visionary leader. A sound technocrat, a leader who is also a builder. His works are all around for us to see. The modernisation of the transport system, the organisation of the markets, the structuring of the party system, the sound recognition of hierarchy in leadership, the growth of commerce in Lagos and the steady increase of the GDP of the state.


Modern Lagos Stands Tall today because there has been a leader in the engine room and that leader has been Tinubu!

His touch has always been evident in the civil service he left behind. The Lagos Civil Service has constantly been witnessing a growth in space and capacity with different innovations to accommodate a steady growth of population and creation of jobs leading to creation of LASTMA, LAWMA and many more.

Being a centre of excellence, modern Lagos has been guided, programmed and administered by a leader in the engine room!

Tinubu is not just the architect of modern Lagos, he has also been the spirit behind today’s modern Lagos.

Dear Emefiele and Buhari, it’s time to cancel the deadline. We’ve had enough of this nonsense. Stop it immediately and let Nigerians go back to living their lives. Enough of using the masses to fight your silly political fights. Stop now!

Have you seen that video with the bottled groundnut. A cock tried to pick the grain of groundnut but couldn't because of the bottle. They may transport sensitive materials but there is no room for any manipulation. So they will try but will surely fail.

Cromagnon:
why will he visit a useless state. Do yet See Americans or Europeans flocking to failed states like Nigeria? Or is it Nigerians risking Sahara desert to get to Europe? Who is flocking to Anambra?

Exclusive101:
Many Nigerians especially igbos supporting Peter Obi are truly daft.

People have always migrated to Lagos long before the coming of Tinubu but he sustained that n now even more people migrate to same Lagos today.

Igbos migrate to Anambra n work in Anambra civil service as well long before Peter Obi but same Peter Obi chased all non indigene from Anambra civil service n today Anambra indigene are fighting to the death to escape from Anambra daily. Just check how many refugees Ekene dilichukwu GIG Peace Agufore Ifesinachi Okeson GUO Young Shall Grow etc load from Anambra escaping to Lagos daily.

You either have to be brain dead if the criteria the lady spoke about here is use to chose the beta candidate n still go ahead to vote Peter Obi instead of Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The fact speak for itself.

One Igbo idiot called from Sweden wailing about how the caller migrated to London n he is in Sweden. The idiot does not aknowledge people migrate towards more economical prosperous n stable state.

How many Nigerians, even Biafrans are moving to Anambra after Peter Obi turn it into paradise n how many Nigerians keep flocking into Lagos after the misrule by Tinubu. Use this n your medulla not skull n vote wisely.

Such a shame.

This is getting very interesting. Very very.

We all remember how it started, when Peter obi stood on the altar of a church and said to the congregation.
''Church take back your country"

The exact same word the old brutal church crusaders used during the darkest bloodiest religious cleansing that took place centuries ago. The same few set of words that triggered the religous cleansing that took thousands of lives. My brother and sister here we go again !

I just hope when the other religion start taking up the trend, no one will cry islamization or bigotry then.

Shalom/Salam.

Also Tinubu paying homage to Yaradua's mother. One of the greatest mother of our time, just behind my mother.

In this internet age, na him this guy get the liver, to gather mind to "steal" pictures of events of years ago and pass it off as pictures from the recent Katsina's APC rally.....some people are stupidly daring.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Actually Frame 1 is fake. Frame 2 is real. Go and watch the videos.

professorPABX:
Pharaoh killed over 100,000 newly born male children because of MOSES. Herod killed over 100,000 children (male and female) because of JESUS. Because of Tinubu over 100,000 people have died and millions of people distressed due to lack of cash and energy. Atiku said the February 10 deadline for cash swap should not be extended.

Baba WF Kumuyi, Baba Adeboye, Prophet Olukoya and wild core prophets on Mountains in Yoruba land should wake up to divine reality. Every great star has great and stubborn enemies, but enemies never overcome them, instead of them thousands of innocent lives are lost while millions of people put in distress just because of only one head. Tinubu is a great star.

Nigeria managed to escape Abiola's episode after prayers, this time around, Nigeria may not come out of it .

A man of high intellect and great divine endowments see troubles ahead before they happen and avoid them but fools think otherwise. Tinubu saw this crisis ahead and cried out.
