Christistruth00:Go back & check, it was the fastest growing city in West Africa the year you were born. Even the great Fela had to use Ojuelegba as an analogy for the hustle & bustle of Lagos State. |

Polchiz:Ode, if you've got a brain, you would realise that while only Lagos Island was the federal capital, 97% of Lagos was under Awolowo. This is different from Abuja. Federal government didn't develop Lekki, Ajah, Victoria Island, banana island, Ikeja etc. The only place federal government occupied was Lagos Island. Sink that into your patheticcc skull. |

He lives in Ikoyi which he built. He lives in Abj which he built. He lives in London, NYC and Chicago.. which he all built. |

Polchiz:Lagos is the fastest growing city in West Africa & probably number 3 in Africa. Not because of APC, but the composition of what it stood for, that lead to the bombardment of Lagos by the Bristish In 1881. |

Kagd10:What a deluded little mug. It is like saying the only place FG developed in FCT is aso rock. Indeed you cannot defend Tinubu without looking stupid. |

Kagd10:Mumu, Lagos State was never under Action Group, it was the Federal Capital Territory under the Jurisdiction of the Federal Government. Lagos became a State in 1967, shortly after Action Group had seized to exist. The Federal Government developed all those places you mentioned. Victoria Island was bought from the Oniru Family in the 1950’s, then moved the settlers of Victoria Island to the Maroko, now Lekki axis today. Victoria Garden City were I live was opened in 1994, Where was Bola Tinubu in 1994? |

Zonefree:Whenever I hear that narrative from Tinubu's urchins and how he's referred to as the father of Lagos, I began to understand how "juju" is still very much potent in Africa and by extension, Nigeria! ![]() |

Buba Marwa was even a better governor than tinubu because he almost eradicated crime with operation sweep but when tinubu came in in 1999 arm robbery and killings was the order of the day which necessitated the forming of OPC by Ganiyu Adams. Tinubu was a failure.Then oshodi was something indescribable until same Ambode he removed built it and fashola did a good job too but was being extorted by his godfather tinubu through alpha beta and they had a fight then due to tinubu insatiable greed. Lagos debt now is more than $1b

Truthisunique2:as long as it is part of yoruba land,they can claim Lagos as state of origin without no one to argue with them . Or is it ebonyi you want them to come claim? |
| Re: If Tinubu Made Lagos, Who Made Abuja? by Mindlog: 4:09pm On Aug 24, 2022 |
Kagd10:Who built the National theatre, National stadium Surulere, developed Festac town etc? We should always bear in mind of the year regional government ended in Nigeria. |

akinremiayomide:Just the same way your constitution of 1999 As Amended. guarantees any citizen of Nigeria, those same rights irrespective of tribe or religion. |
| Re: If Tinubu Made Lagos, Who Made Abuja? by Nobody: 4:17pm On Aug 24, 2022 |
Buckeyemedia1:so What are you insinuating now? Make Igbo come claim Lagos as origin ![]() Can a yoruba man come Abia today to claim indigene?? Can a Fulani man come Enugu to claim indigene cos of the rubbish stated in the constitution?? Only a b@stard would neglect his father house to go claim another persons own |

Mindlog:Who built Ikeja and, Iganmu out of a thick Jungle with Apes Leopards Buffalos, Crocodiles, Warthogs,Elephants and Monkeys running wild was it not Awolowo ? Do you think the FG would have located the National Theatre at Iganmu if Awolowo hadn’t first delivered it from the Crocodiles , Buffaloes and Monkeys living there since God Almighty Created them, when Awolowo built Iganmu out of the Thick Congo type Jungle it was into a habitation for Humans ? Festac Town Area and Surulere were all Awolowos Domain that he was the first who had turned them into Areas habitable for Human Beings Before the FG had to lease land from the Western Region because it had run out of space on Lagos Island |

BigIyanga:You mean he built France too? |
| Re: If Tinubu Made Lagos, Who Made Abuja? by Kagd10: 4:37pm On Aug 24, 2022 |
Mindlog:So these were what developed Lagos? Na ment? And it was Tinubu who developed surulere. He had invited Obasanjo to commission surulere roads etc. You dey mad? Federal government only built national theatre, airport, bridges and few governmental houses. That was all fct did in Lagos. Meanwhile, Lagos' first seaport built by Southwest resources before the amalgamation of Nigeria pumps revenues to the federal government. It's even Lagos who should be feeling unjust here. You dey mad? |
| Re: If Tinubu Made Lagos, Who Made Abuja? by kk2027(op): 4:39pm On Aug 24, 2022 |
snowball11:"Tinubu made Lagos" sounds to me like propaganda taken too far I'm still waiting for someone to explain how he built Lagos and who built Abuja |
| Re: If Tinubu Made Lagos, Who Made Abuja? by Kagd10: 4:40pm On Aug 24, 2022 |
Buckeyemedia1:Another trash from a loonatic. First, 97% of what became Lagos today was under the Western region managed by Awolowo. Only Lagos Island was occupied by federal government. As a matter of, Ikeja was Awolowo's brain child. Sink that into your patheticcc skull. Meanwhile, mention what the federal government did in Lagos or shut up your hole! You dey mad? |

Kagd10:I guess between 1966 to 1999 the military held sway and the few years in between that had Jakande, I guess those in charge did nothing until Tinubu. ![]() Tinubu "developed" Surulere! ![]() |

Most of them are children or still feeding from their parents,because how can a sane human being believe that Tinubu built Lagos,tinubu that was made governor in 1999 In the future el rufai too will Claim he made Abuja because he was the minister of The FCT,and Urchins will say “El rufai’s Abuja” Only thing tinubu did was introduce Agbero,that’s his only legacy

Polchiz:Another gibberish from a dunce. Since you couldn't engage your brain to know that Nigeria govt was operating a true federalism as at that time. Hence, there was western region which included 97% of Lagos which was being managed by Awolowo as the premier of western region. As matter of fact, Ikeja was Awolowo's brain child. Secondly, Lagos then was different from the Lagos today which was created in 1967. Lagos then was only Lagos Island occupied by federal government. Other western areas that became part of the Lagos today was under Awolowo. Meanwhile, mention what the federal government did in Lagos or shut up your hole. You dey mad? |
| Re: If Tinubu Made Lagos, Who Made Abuja? by Kagd10: 4:48pm On Aug 24, 2022 |
Mindlog:I asked you a question, mention what the federal government did or shut up. And yes. Tinubu developed part of surulere. He had even invited Obasanjo to commission surulere roads and other things.. Before 1999, there was no lekki, Ajah, Victoria Island, banana island, Eko Atlantic etc.. even Ikeja was Awolowo's brain child. So what exactly did the federal government do in Lagos, you dey mad? And don't forget the fact that the federal government already moved from Lagos in 1991. And the fact that 97% of what became Lagos today was under the Western region supervised by Awolowo. You dey mad? |

Kagd10:There was no Victoria Island before 1999? You are certainly disconnected! ![]() |

Mindlog:Maybe Tinubu kuku created Lagos sef, built it and governed it ![]() |
| Re: If Tinubu Made Lagos, Who Made Abuja? by Kagd10: 5:08pm On Aug 24, 2022 |
Mindlog:So it was federal government that developed Victoria island which is eti osa? You dey mad? Abi thunder want to fireee you there? Meanwhile, you have yet list what federal government did in Lagos. You dey mad? |
| Re: If Tinubu Made Lagos, Who Made Abuja? by Softmirror: 5:10pm On Aug 24, 2022 |
kk2027:USING YOUR LOGIC BRO. IT SIMPLE MEANS THAT A STIMULUS FOR GROWTH IS A PLACE BEING A CAPITAL. WHEN THEN DID LAGOS SEIZED BEING THE CAPITAL OF NIGERIA? AND WHAT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONTINUITY OF IT'S DEVELOPMENT. REMEMBER, CALABAR TOO WAS ONCE THE CAPITAL OF NIGERIA. HOW DOES CALABAR FARE COMPARED TO LAGOS? |
| Re: If Tinubu Made Lagos, Who Made Abuja? by kk2027(op): 5:14pm On Aug 24, 2022 |

Kagd10:Their own Asaba was the first Capital of Nigeria between 1886 and 1900 and played a big role in the development of Onitsha into a Major center Of Commerce Do you think they are ready to put up Asaba and Onitsha for dragging? https://asaba.com/asaba-as-nigerias-first-capital/
