Lagos is the fastest growing City in West Africa not Abuja
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.

Lagos used to be like Abuja for decades.
Today all the FG projects in Lagos are attributed to Tinubu as if he uses his father's money to build them.
Abuja was a village but today it is the fastest growing City in West Africa.
In the near future, Tinubu urchins like you will tell us that if not for Tinubu, Abuja will not be what it is. That is if Tinubu ever become president.
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.

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.

Indeed you cannot defend Tinubu without looking stupid.

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?

Na so one Mumu will come tomorrow and tell us he developed Abuja because he's the Governor of Abuja State.
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! grin
Re: If Tinubu Made Lagos, Who Made Abuja? by aariwa(m): 4:04pm On Aug 24, 2022
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

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

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?

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?

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. cheesy

Tinubu "developed" Surulere! shocked You are the real mad man. cheesy
Re: If Tinubu Made Lagos, Who Made Abuja? by agadez007(m): 4:44pm On Aug 24, 2022
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

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?

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?

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?
