Another ignoramus sported. You need enlightenment and I'm going to oblige myself to give it to you. Lagos is Lagos today not because of Tinubu, Tinubu himself knows it but still decides to tell a blatant lie that he made Lagos what it is today and people that can't think for themselves or people that are just outrightly stupid will believe him. Read about the history of Nigeria and find the truth. Una nor dey read na the problem with all this kind of people. Where did our colonizers land when dey colonized Nigeria? And for that reason alone Lagos was already far ahead interms of advancement than any other place in the country. That same Lagos sef was once the federal capital Territory so what did you expect? Of cos, it'll be developed but not because of Tinubu. Goan read oooo, read the history of your country and get more light instead of sounding stupid, well sha you be supporting APC/Tinubu and not look/sound stupid.

Parachoko:
FG didn't develop Lagos State.

Asiwaju and his boys have made Lagos the 5th largest economy in Africa.

FG also built roads and bridges in Adamawa,Abuja, Anambra, Oyo, Enugu,Rivers State, Borno, Kaduna and the rest of the states in Nigeria.

If not for Asiwaju and his boys, Abuja go don dust lagos, and Lagos would have been a dead city like Warri.

Warri suppose to dey contest with Ikeja, Yaba and Lekki if toh say leaders with vision like Tinubu ruled the state, Tinubu would have made the City of Warri better than Accra, Ghana and people like Atiku would have tell us is the FG that develop it.

I wander why Atiku didn't tell us why Warri can't compete with the likes of Kano, Ibadan, Kaduna and PH again, the PDP government in Delta State have ruin the city of Warri

No one is condemning the PDP Governors who have ruled Delta State for turning Warri to a dead city, but una go dey cry about Asiwaju who have elevated Lagos State to the 5th largest economy position in Africa.

Atiku have nothing to campaign with.

You cannot Jail Awolowo for his Visionary dream and 60 years Later come back

to Start Claiming his legacy and the fruits of his diligently thought out and planned Vision


Lagos Island was the FCT, it is the small dot on the Map below Ikeja

The remaining 97% of Lagos State was Awolowo’s Western Region


Below is the Map Of the Western Region at independence

Ezeama400:
Ask Tinubu question how he's going to govern Nigeria, he would tell you I will make Nigeria like Lagos.. That's is slogan.. lol



If not for Lagos that made Tinubu what he is today, he would have remained at Iragbiji doing what his people are known for..

Maybe tomorrow If Abuja becomes a state like Lagos that was once a capital territory for ages, one charlatan will crawl out from his hole and tell us he made Abuja what it's ....

Tinubu should stop ridiculing himself with that idiotic narrative he's pushing that he built Lagos... It's making him to sound foolish !!!

Tinubu made lagos. Lagos did not make Tinubu. I'm sure you were not born when Abacha was in power.
Tinubu, though young was one of the leading light of NADECO. That fought for democracy. The one you are enjoying now. He wholeheartedly sponsored their operations then. He was not in power then.
When it was capital, lagos was a glorified dustbin and the last bustop for criminals

You speak out of sheer ignorance..

If not for the port which since independence has been the only major port to Nigeria for bigger vessel, Lagos would have been long dead..
So many major warehouse are situated there because no wise businessman wants to import raw material and spend much transporting same to kaduna before production start.. This is why you see most manufactured products tagged made in Lagos Nigeria..
Again, some of the road projects going on in the state are federal government assisted project to support the flow of economic activities..
Dangote through tax waiver is constructing the concrete roads in the state.. Wetin be you and jagaban problem

When other ports open up in the future, your sense will remember my post

AlphaTaikun:
You are the one that is getting things mixed up. Tinubu NEVER said all that trash that you these guys are saying all over the place. I watched the video of his visit to the East of Nigeria, and he CLEARLY said in Yoruba: "BALA BALA, BALA BOLO", which MEANS "GIBBERISH" in Yoruba language, NOT the NONSENSE you people have been typing online that he said. I am embarassed at the complete LACK of truth and honesty among many of you. Somebody pointed out the full video here on NL of Tinubu's visit to the East of Nigeria and that is when I understood what Bola Tinubu said.

The administrative capital of Nigeria from 1914 to 1991 has NEVER been Lagos State. Lagos Island was the administrative capital NOT Lagos State! Lagos Island belongs to indigenes just like Calabar which was also the administrative capital of the British has indigenes.

Lagos State only came into existence on May 27, 1960. The absence of DETAILED history classes is majorly responsible for you the younger generation mixing up Lagos Island [or Lagos for short] with Lagos State which are 2 completely different land masses or geo-political entities. Lagos Island is a city within Lagos State with Yoruba folks as the indigenes. The REAL indigenes of Lagos State are the Ijebu-Yorubas, Awori-Yorubas, Ogus, with Egba-Yoruba immigrant populations that came centuries back and have become indigenes.



Chief Jeremiah Obafemi Awolowo, GCFR, SAN rapidly industrialised the Old Western region in the 1950s with the establishment of Ikeja GRA and several industrial estates such as Ikeja, Ilupeju, Iganmu [Ikeja, Ilupeju and MORE than 90% of today's Lagos State land mass was carved out from Awolowo's Western region, in the May 27, 1967, 12 new states creation by Gen. Yakubu Gowon into the new Lagos State].

Oluyole industrial estate in Ibadan was also among Premier Obafemi Awolowo's legacies, which the Old Eastern and Northern regions copied in the 1950s to the 1960s in a healthy competition to form the Trans-Amadi and Kakuri industrial estates in Port Harcourt and
Kaduna.


It is TIME for the Lagos State government to make it mandatory OR THROUGH persuation for all the media houses to have 5-10 minute slots to broadcast the TRUE history of how Lagos State came into existence on May 27, 1967, because a lot of ignorant people are confusing Lagos Island with Lagos State and claiming that the whole of Lagos was the Federal Capital which is NOT! History must be taught in schools as well. It's getting annoying that we have to keep explaining these things to the younger generation and some older folks who DON'T READ history books!


Cc: Parachoko, Christistruth00, sukkot

Their Fathers even fought , framed up Awolowo and Jailed him because of the great vision he had for

Lagos and the Western Region

Jakande ( Who was Jailed with Awolowo ) Tinubu Fashola Ambode Sanwo Olu were all pursuing

Awolowo’s Dream and great plan for Lagos and his People the fact that their descendants could

be beneficiaries of that Dream was nowhere on their Radar Screens,

and the offspring of the very same People who Jailed Awolowo for trying to overtake Europe

are now in 2022 trying to Claim the Fruit Of the very same Awolowo’s Vision that alarmed and annoyed

their Fathers. so much that they framed up and Jailed Awolowo for it

The Dream that made Lagos an Economic Power House was Awolowo’s Dream!!!!


Apart from Gowon has Nigeria ever had a Visionary FG that was striving night and

day to overtake Europe and America like Awolowo was , be very honest

People need to search their Conscience O !

You urchins are shamelessly foolish and loved to be lied to day and night.

Ok....Let me add to the famous lies Tinubu has used to brainwash you lots.

National Theatre in Surulere was built by Tinubu.

National Stadium Surulere was built by Tinubu to promote Arts and Culture tin Tinubu's Lagos.

3rd Mainland Bridge the longest bridge in West Africa was built by Tinubu and commissioned by IBB, shocked?

Tinubu summoned all the Army Generals in Nigeria and told them to build more than 10 Army Barracks in Lagos, which was later commissioned by Fashola to make Lagos a safe state more than other states in Nigeria.


Tinubu built Muritala Mohammed International Airport and have been maintaining it for decades now since the 1970s it was built to ensure it remained the busiest airport serving all Nigerians while other region Governors and politicians were busy looting and sharing Kerosene to their people.

Bola Tinubu also built Apapa seaport in 1920 to ensure free export and import of goods from Nigeria to Europe because of his great vision for Lagos.


I also remember vividly how Bola Tinubu created Oshodi Market in 1860 to ensure free trading of slaves.


What about Banana Island which Tinubu designed in his bedroom as a man with vision and partnered with the Chagoury group for them to help him build a mega island city in Lagos?


What about CMS, Marina and other great things that made Lagos what it is even before 1999 that Bola Tinubu constructed even before he came to Lagos as a city boy, shocked?




In 1965, Bola Tinubu made Lagos the capital city of Nigeria and told all foreign embassies, consulates and high commissions to open their embassies in Lagos.


Tinubu further instructed international oil companies to ensure they all bring their headquarters in Lagos to ensure Lagos have investors while other politicians like those from Potopoto republic were busy selling Galla and sharing kerosene.


Bola Tinubu also summoned all Nigerian banks to bring their bank headquarters to Lagos state if they want Yoruba billionaires and Dangote to patronize them.


What about Nigerian Stock Exchange that Bola Tinubu single handedly founded and built to ensure Lagos remained the city where Nigeria's stock market is traded, shocked?


Did he stop there? No!


Tinubu being a man with great vision wanted Lagos to become Africa's Hollywood city so he created Alaba International Market which helped Nigerian Movie Industry to spring up and also marketed and distributed Nollywood films to ensure they reached all parts of the world, which is why Lagos is the headquarter of Nollywood actors and filmmakers grin


When Bola Tinubu noticed that there will be huge demand for spare parts in Nigeria as Nigerians loved cars, what did he do? To position Lagos above other states in being the center of spare parts trading, Tinubu created Ladipo spare parts market for used spare parts and also created ASPAMDA market Trade Fair for brand new spare parts and then invited Omo Yeeboos selling Gala in Lagos traffic to go and start selling spare parts in those market, yet those children of hate continue to hate Tinubu angry.

You can Google the above lies in your spare time.

Lekki - Ikoyi Bridge, Ajah Bridge, Abule Egba Bridge, Pen Cinema Bridge were all built by Atikulation Abubakar the Cameroonian bisexual.

Emilokan na bad market.

better than the rest

DoctorDree:
Make all of una just dey form saint
Atiku was once the Vice President
Peter Obi was once a governor
Tinubu was once a governor
They all got a lot wrong during there tenure

They can keep pointing fingers till tomorrow
May God punish anyone that will destroy this country further and select for us a leader that will make things better cos at the end of the day voting doesn’t always make things right!!!

Lazy black man has outsourced his responsibility to God. Blacks should be mocked very well! You guys deserve it. Lazy monkeys....

Person who failed to bring a single development to him home state of Adamawa as a VP for 8years... Someone who is the longest running candidate in the history of Nigeria, and he is Here again to continue elongating that record.... Is it a must to serve one's fatherland as president.. Make he run for Adamawa governorship seat and develop Adamawa state first before Nigerians can consider him

BluntCrazeMan:
#ProvideTheTinubuLagosBLUEPRINT..

I need to see a copy of the so-called BLUEPRINT which Tinubu developed for Lagos State when he was the Governor of Lagos State.


WHERE CAN SOMEONE GET IT PLLEEEEEAAASSSEEEE??

The blueprint was simple

Privatize infrastructure and put his cronies to manage them

Increase IGR and steal it back through consultancy

Institutionalize thuggery

Hold on to power forever

Nwadu:
The argument on who developed Lagos would make you think that Lagos is one Dubai in Nigeria..

A state that still has slums ghettos and trenches...


I was born in Lagos I still live in Lagos
Went for a childhood friend's wedding and I found out that I have aged more than all my friends...

Reason: Lagos is a hell of a State.. is it the heat the traffic or the fake lives .

Do you want to recover your stollen phone
Do you want to monitor your spouse's WhatsApp messages

We do all these contact us @ 0811three077onesix7

The bolded sentence made me laugh and it is a fact.
I remember when I got admission into uni in those days and I saw some of my mates' dates of birth, I used to think they are lying about their age until I move closer to them and realise that Lagos lifestyle is what made them older than me.

I've been in a Lagos for over 2 decades now, I can boldly say Lagos state government has tried by developing new areas due to expansion

Of all the governors that governed lagos it was only tinibu that refused to let go of lagos state resources he has virtually converted lagos to his personal family business empire yet fools and mentally unstable people still want nigerians to vote him as the next nigeria's president.

Villa12:
Chinedu

Take a piece

When you ask them to mention one state that is better than Lagos in terms of economy and infrastructure.
They will simply tell you Lagos was once Nigeria capital, that Asiwaju did nothing in lagos.�

Abuja has been our capital territory since on the 4th febuary 1976
Which means more than 50yrs that Abuja has been the capital city.

Kindly ask the haters, what stop Abuja from overtaking Lagos as the largest commercial city

Whats stop Abuja from overtaking Lagos as the largest economy.
One thing funny about these children of hate is that, most of them find peace in this state, they find livelihood in this state, they are all over alaba international Market selling their goods with peace and happiness.

They are all over trade fair, doing their daily business without a mandatory sit at home order.
They are all over auto partz selling their spare part with joy and happiness

Most of these children of hate go to their village to bring members of their family, relatives and friends to this great city of Lagos to earn a living.

But they are such an ingrate to acknowledged the effort of a man that sustain the development of this great city that makes their business strives

God no go shame us

Another tissue of cheap lies

Abuja became Nigeria's capital in 1991. All official designations of Lagos as capital of Nigeria stopped in 1991. OBJ was president from 1976 to 1979 and never operated from Abuja. Babangida sacked Buhari as Head of State in Dodan Barracks Lagos and not Abuja. Your lies are too cheap to hold water.
I hope you know that in terms of IGR, Abuja is only second to Lagos. Only Abuja and Lagos boast of modern standard gauge rail in the whole of Nigeria. Only Abuja and Lagos host foreign embassies and consuls in Nigeria. All international and top industries in Nigeria have offices in Lagos and Abuja. In terms of road infrastructure, Abuja is second only to Lagos. Same with aviation traffic. All these are not coincidences.
They happen because of federal presence and investments in both areas.
So you can jest all you want. It does not change the fact that federal investments and presence is what made Lagos develop at the rate it is. If you want to credit Tinubu for anything, you can say he remodeled or modernized Lagos.
But to claim he built Lagos to the fifth biggest economy in Africa is a big fat lie.

Who doesn't know this fact. Only the ignorant agree with this.

It will surprise you to know that this is one of the reason a lot of people wants to vote for him because they believe he would turn Nigeria to Lagos if elected as president.

This is how Lagos looks before Tinubu became Governor of Lagos in 1999.
the second picture will show you that it's just a slight difference from today's Lagos that has been ruled by many after Tinubu.

FuckDModz:


Tinubu is a criminal that exploited Lagos and Lagosians.

Shockingly, the idiots being exploited are still gearing up to vote for their oppressors.

Omo, yoruba people mumu die!

Coming from a ibo like you that voted for Obituary twice.

Why didn't FG developed Adamawa?

Agbegbaorogboye:
Because Lagos was a federal capital
Why didn't Western region develop other cities like Ibadan for example?

Ibadan is far developed than whatever shithole you come from. Very funny that you're using a Yoruba name, you Osus are something else.

Even your boss , Obasanjo, Acknowledges what Tinubu is doing in lagos in 2003, watch the video in this thread

https://www.nairaland.com/7342241/throwback-video-obasanjo-appreciating-tinubus

after acknowledging Tinubu in the old video, he then further said now that we see what Tinubu is doing, we will replicate his good work at federal level.

Have you ever seen a president saying he will replicate a governors good work at federal level.


Atiku shouldn't even be talking for the things we know him for, just that Nigerians do forget things easily.

The only presidential candidate that should be countering Tinubu is Kwankwaso and Obi.

If Atiku is wise he should get his team closer, from Kwankwaso, to Obi to Wike, he will beat Tinubu hands down. This people need thinkers around them and thats the number one problem. They are only interested in powerful and rich people.

you are saying rubbish they did not build abuja? I don't think you used to travel in your life they have locked your glory inside lagos traffic be disgracing your family members here on nairaland

You are the president of the national association of senseless people. So as a VP he couldn't influence the development of his state, how many federal projects were completed in his state during his tenure as VP. Your mumu no get match...

Chinedu take

Tinubu won APC Primaries in a landslide despite President + Vice President + Senate President + Party Chairman opposing him...

That's the same way he will flog other aspirants.

Like him or hate him but the guy is a thorough bred politician. He's a Grandmaster that can beat you in several different ways.

El Rufai, Akeredolu, Fayemi and Amosun ALL publicly opposed and made humiliating remarks. What was his response now and then? SILENCE. Question is how exactly did he make them all fall in line ?

How much money will you offer a Governor who got 250 million naira monthly for 8 good years in security votes PLUS other billions?

Obviously, BAT made them offers they couldn't refuse.

Mark my words, Nigeria wouldn't become USA overnight but either Atiku or Tinubu will fix long running issues like ASUU, National ID card etc.

Why ? Both men are ruthless and crafty. They are both named crooks but give either a chance. After all, The Saint failed woefully.

Nigeria needs a Leader who's a "rugged crook" not a Saint because at least 150 million behave like animals.

Tinubu can be a diplomat or warrior as the situation demands.

Peter Obi didn't face 1/1 trillion of challenges Tinubu faced before Obi ran away from PDP primaries.

The infrastructures and development that wailers can swear on their mothers grave that is none existent under PMB administration would become visible during Tinubu's.
The same people that asks foolishly, "what are all the loans Buhari is taking being used for?"
The people that say, all the loans by PMB are being pocketed.. The people that can't see any infrastructure done by PMB.. They would all begin to see them when Tinubu enters office...

Any of Tinubu's success will be attributed to this same Buhari that they can't see his success today..


But the good thing is that Tinubu no go send.
