Do you know why Lagos is the talked about so much and Ibadan, Akure or osogbo are not talked about in the same vein? Because Federal government built Lagos, that fedrela presence has given Lagos the advantage. Most of the monies came from oil.

The infrastructures that has driven Lagos for decades, given them revenue and made them more attractive were built by federal government. The tincan and apapa seaports, Eko bridge, 3rd mainland bridge, Carter Bridge, Marina, Victoria Island, Ikoyi etec were built with Oyel money from our nigerdelta.

Our resource built Lagos and now Yorubas think that they are smart people and are developed. If you are so smart and developed, why haven't you turned Ibadan, abeokuta and Akure to another Lagos without federal intervention?

This is why it's imperative to vote for Peter Obi, so seaports in southsouth can start working, every part of the country will be treated fairly. Development will spread.. Fanatical Tinubu supports don't want that because they don't want other parts of the country also to develop, so they can brag about Tinubu building Lagos.

Southsouth will vote for Peter Obi for fairness sake. We are tired of you guys using a place built with out resources to push your agenda.

If you Yoruba bigots here know that you can actually build a modern city, then go and build Ibadan and abeokuta, let's see you do it without Oyel money.
By the time all the seaport in southsouth starts working efficiently, let's see where the revenue to fund another criminal cabal like Tinubu will come from.

Let's see what this your Lagos becomes when All the seaports in southsouth starts working.

One man claims he built Lagos, 🤣

Some people are taking the fame 🤤

Build Lagos my ass.
Can they see Lagos without oil proceeds from federal government?

If they know they can build a city, let them build sango otta from scratch

There was electricity in Lagos in 1898 when your ancestors were naked in the forest

When did oil money start flowing in Nigeria?

Lagos has ALWAYS Contributed more than it received
ALWAYS

Yes, I bet it was built by the british colony and not Tinubu or any Yoruba man.

If you guys are so good at building modern cities without help from higher powers and visitors, then build Ibadan. Let's see it

How about cocoa and groundnut pyramids?
Lagos was a capital before oil was discovered
If you say part of subsequent development fine

If you open the seaports in southsouth, in another 25 years, Lagos will be glorified Ibadan. We know why businesses always prefer Lagos. We know

this one failed history.
Lagos was never part of western region. It was set aside and didn't get revenue from cocoa proceeds. Lagos was the capital of Nigeria and the proceeds from cocoa were used to build western region with ibadan being the capital.

Half of the infrastructures in Lagos today came from oil money

Hater
Who closed port
They opened a bigger port yesterday so your hateful dream won't happen soon and another one will open in Badagry soon
There has been a port in Lagos before Nigeria was formed in 1914

Ibadan has the first TV station in Africa...Same Ibadan has the first skyscraper in the country...If not for Aguiyi Ironsi that abolished regionalism and formed a so called unitary system of government, Ibadan would have been competing with Johannesburg.

let Peter Obi enter m, we will find out who closed the seaports.

You think we from southsouth don't also have interests 😂

We will leave someone who will open up our region to vote emilokan. Who does that?

Jogs1900:

Because Kaduna is not as developed as Lagos.
Lagos is miles ahead of every state in Nigeria. Port Harcourt is even more developed than Kaduna.

Lagos and all the infrastructure listed above where built by FG with Oyel money. You cannot disprove it

Go back to your own history...Lagos is different from Lagos state...Lagos has 2 LGA out of 20LGA and that is where federal government projects are..FYI, Ikeja is developed with Cocoa proceeds.

Lagos was a huge slum
Until 1999 when Tinubu came in

Jealousy is the root of hatred

Oga, Lagos is Lagos island, V. I, Ikoyi, Lekki phase, onikan, Lagos (mainland comprising of yaba, ebute meta, akoka, jibowu) and surulere.
Aside from Ikeja and and those places listed above as Lagos, every other parts of lagos na slum.

Ikotun, abhke egba, oshodi, ketu etc no develop. All these place ls where part of the western region but you didn't develop there.

You are shouting port...FG didn't build Lagos port...It has been there since slave trade era.Are Ibaka and One ports not functioning?

Kaduna is not even as developed as Port Harcourt, not to talk of lagos. What's Kaduna?

When did oyel money start in Nigeria
That should be your starting point
Has Nigeria always had oil?
https://www.nairaland.com/4144976/lagos-1898before-nigeria-not-oil/1
The port of Lagos was generating billions before 1914 when Nigeria was formed

You are shouting on top of your voice for hatred of Lagos...All those places you mentioned are just 3 LGA...Ikeja was formally in Western region...You are saying other places are slums... Mention any state capital in the south East that is more developed than ikorodu.Dont forget that Delta and Edo states were formally in Western region.

This people live and breath Lagos air yet they envy Lagos growth hence they want to use Endsars protest to burn down Lagos..We wont forget...Why only them..Hausas that have been coming to do business in the south west before then sef no dey lament like this instead they think of going back to their states.

ha 😂

Colonial government built apapa seaport in 1920, slave trade ended in 1808. It was so small, it couldn't take large goods, FG remodeled in 1974.
Tincan port was built by FG in 1976, with Oyel money.

You attended ijebu-ode grammar school, but you still sound so dumb 😂😂
You are a disgrace cos that's also the school I attended

Lagos is slum, if you remove Lagos Island, Ikeja, Surulere, Eti Osa, Lagos mainland LGAs, you cannot compare the remaining parts of lagos with Ibadan.

Port Harcourt is more developed than any part of lagos aside etiosa and Lagos Island.

It's you that is making us talk down on Lagos. You could just keep quiet instead of bragging.

We will remind you of how the resources from oil and port revenues made Lagos what it is today

Oyel money built 3rd mainland bridgeand tincan port, those are the biggest infrastructures in Lagos today. Other infrastructures in Lagos were built as a virtue of revenue coming from the ports.

I know what I am talking about.

You are the one dumb here....I'm sure you don't have elders....That's what we are saying...So it's Oyel money they used to develop ijebu ode gramm school...why didn't you school in your region if your leaders did well. .The Europeans only upgraded the ports and the airport...How were the slaves taken abroad before slave trade was abolished if not through port...Walahi, you no get sense...If you are not happy with Lagos development, go and commit suicide..
