Another day another shitty thread.....wonder why the mods don't do their jobs.

RuudVanNisteroy:
I was fed with Niger Delta oil money. What has Lagos ever done for you:you provide your own water,sewage,security,electricity,private education,healthcare.

Keep it up man. No wonder none of your South Eastern states or even the Niger Deltans states u re shouting can measure up with Lagos.

Lagos is bigger than all of u and will always be bigger.

I stated facts. Show us one infrastructure he contributed to Lagos from 1999-2007.

RuudVanNisteroy:
How did Nigeria kill the progress of Lagos when it benefitted from Niger Delta oil used to fund numerous federal projects .

Unless you've lost your brains somewhere or just trying to be mischievous, you'd have realized that majority of pics predates oil discovery (if you do your research well and study the construction of each) and that all through the late 70s (right from 1975 even) to the time the FTC left Lagos at the tale end of 1991 (the oil era), Abuja was the focus with our common wealth (including revenue generated from Lagos) being used to build a new capital. The only break they had was in 1984 when Buhari decided not to lavish more money in the direction because the economy had tanked since the 1982.
So if your brains are serving you right, the question you should ask yourself is how possible it could be that because Nigeria suddenly discovered oil, the sources of revenue that had been building the Lagos city prior suddenly disappeared Has any of the ports, the cbd, the general marketplaces ( 'cause the Balogun, Idumota, Oyingbo etc also predates independence and was so popular that many of them are referenced in our adages) and the levies stopped existing prior, during or after the discovery of oil Or what logic were you trying to insinuate

Don't mind that little kid. He'll just create a useless thread to promote nonsense and attack Lagos, Tinubu and/or the west without any deep knowledge of the context. All he does is drag you around for a mud fight exactly like the funkiest pigs they are. Less sense much talks.
Funny enough, such cheapo still has the gut to question others level of IQ. Wonders of the twenty first century!

You're a clown! Oil was discovered in 1956 in Bayelsa and most of the proceeds was used to fund the development of federal projects in Lagos.

Still on nonsense. How many of those pictures shown were built in 1950s When was the Molue introduced Or was the transit bus you showed at the Iddo train station around in the 60s When was the Iddo train station itself built When was the rail tracks in Lagos laid When was the Carter Bridge you showed itself built Were they built by the FG Did the sources of revenue that built all these facilities stopped existing If yes, how
Check what the Ikeja which was never built by FG was like. Surulere, like Yaba, was a beautiful darlings back in those days and was and still is better than the Festac FG built: they were built by proceeds Lagos governors could generate from levies and revenues from various sectors in the state.
That FG supported in building Third mainland bridge, reconstructed Carter Bridge and build National theatre, national stadium, the general mosque, etc doesn't change the fact that majority of the bridges, iconic centers, schools, hospitals, housing estates, marketplaces, cinemas, libraries, museums etc of the time were built by Lagos state. Even, the hinterlands were at first not part of Lagos but the western region. So what's your point
Or by your finite knowledge, you believe the FG developed the IKOYI, the VICTORIA ISLAND, and the LAGOS ISLAND Or ain't many of the iconic things in these places either built during colonial era or even after we got into the fourth republic.

RuudVanNisteroy:
Lagos is the former capital and houses the headquarters of every major company in Nigeria. So , naturally it attracts people from every state in the federation.

It is a no mans land.

Mum Ipobian. How you Igbo go come to another land different from your Igbo homeland, speak different language and dress differently from you and your ancestors and called that land no man's land. It speaks of your ignorance and lack of education and exposure. I hope this your quest for Biafra is granted and we will show you the true owner of the land. You either sell your properties or carry am for head to your landlocked.

Lagos is a no mans land that was built with Niger Delta oil money.

But Capetown and other South African cities have more slums than Lagos and they were doing better in those days?

Thank God is not Igbos money. Nigeri delta Money has been spent in your south east, why e no show?

Really disappointed in the people defending Tinubu. The op asked from a project built by Tinubu in Lagos btw 1999-2007 and they couldn't mention any but insult him.

The op provided evidence that Lagos was better before Tinubu, you lots said he is lying but could not show the improvement from 1999 to 2007. Pathetic!

Always a troll, a liar, a fraudulent and deceptive joker, you are not alone and you are not the first ipob coward to claim Osun state.

Cowards with zero sense of identity.

RuudVanNisteroy:
How do you explain majority of Nigerians that schooled abroad coming back to Nigeria in the 70's and 80's.

Simple. Competition for jobs was less stiff. The pool of talent was smaller in a growing job market, and so there was no great struggle to get high paying jobs in Nigeria commensurate with one's expertise.

But as education expanded, the developing economy had less and less ability to absorb all the educated millions.

Hence the brain drain phenomenon. It is NOT unique to Nigeria. It is the NORM in large developing countries.

There are far more Indians, Pakistanis, Chinese, and Arab settlers in the west than Nigerians or Africans.

It is actually a sign of PROGRESS that a developing nation is having many of its people migrating elsewhere.

It is a sign that modern education, knowledge and exposure have come to a previously rural, largely illiterate, agrarian people.

Our illiterate grandfathers and grandmothers stuck in village farms under colonialism couldn't decide to seek greener pastures in Canada or Germany, or America.

They didn't know what an airport was, where America was, much less what they would do if they got there.

So we HAVE made progress.
