That is Lagos, not Lagos State

That is the island part of Lagos state.
The mainland part of Lagos state was part of the western region then

Na today Lagos don dey chop Nigeria money

Since Amalgamation 1914 to 1991 around 80 years all Nigeria money base for Lag

All the hundreds of thousands of villages in Nigeria have citizens in Lag back then.
Even till now.

Then why's Tinubu claiming he developed Lagos?

Before they came to spoilt it with dirty.

Let's see Anambra in 1960

After the war in 1970, Anambra/Onitsha was in rubbles. Go and check the State now...it's paradise on earth. Serene environment, no brown roofs...

Really serene! Nice scenery! Look @ the Marina Cathedral road so clean and aesthetic.

Rule 2

And some mofos claim that Tinubu built Lagos

Moh247:
Ok

Alright

Tinubu built it though..

Thou then he wasn't the governor yet, but as a Chicago big boy and druggy he was sending huge amount of money that was been used to develop Lagos..

All those roads and buildings you saw on that picture was built by tinubu..

Well organised back then, unlike today that someone has created touts to scatter it.

So, you mean Bola Ahmed Tinubu was Governor of Lagos state in 1960??

The house with red ink is still standing firm at new market road Onitsha before Bata junction.

Are we sure we're even moving forward or backwards, throwback looking better than recent pictures

Eko Oni Baje.

Okay

U mean before jagaban came and developed it

As of 1862 Lagos declared British colony ,
10 years later is became cosmopolitan city with over 60,000 person and bubbling commercial activity in Africa.

Road networks , hospitals , Railways, Schools , electricity etc start appearing subsequently .

Lagos had gone to become one of the fastest developing cities in the world by 1900 ,
This was when Tinubu's mother was still being babysited .
It's rather amusing when people put up argument to market their choice candidate , Tinubu as the brain that built Lagos ,

Mr Tinubu, who isn't from Lagos isn't the first nor 50th ruler of Lagos , and if all the predecessors did what Tinubu did to Lagos , am certain nothing would be left for him to sap .
How can a man after governing and making all his moneys from a state , still can't let go of that state from his exploitative claws like his predecessors.

Instead of a man Paying Tax to the Government, He rather create a Company (Alphabeta) that collects the state's Tax , collects his Share and then remit the leftover to the state coffers ?

How did Tinubu become so rich by just heading same position , Marwa, Jakande, Fashola , Ambode and Sonwolu held in Lagos State ?
I mean, why would Bullion van not convey cash to his residence when He, Tinubu inaugurated a $2B construction of Lagos Blue light railway of 23km( mile2 to CMS) in 2003 by same Chinese company that built Heavy cargo railway of 750km from Ethiopia to Djibouti 2 years after at the cost of $1.8B ?

No Be Small Thing ooooo

And one druggie will claim he built Lagos

Carefully selected posh areas to rig minds into believing lagos has serene ecology abi.

Please show us pictures of Ikotun, agege, Orile,
Ikorodu . . . in the 60’s too.

It was a privilege for Lagos to be made the economic capital of Nigeria.
Allow every geopolitical region to manage its resources for 50years & you'll be amazed how much development some regions will attain.
