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

Jogs1900:
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.

omonnakoda:
In1973 oil was under$3
Nigeria fought civil war without oil
Many of these kids think oil has always been around.
Lagos contributes to the Federation accounts. MORE THAN it received back

Jogs1900:
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..

Yankee101:
Do you know Lagos produces oil!
Do you know it makes more revenue locally than from government oil allocation?
Go and read your history again then return

FatherOfJesus:
How? Revenues from seaports, customs, business which this same seaports attracts?

Whose fooling who? Lagos state is benefiting more from the investments federal government made there.

Lagos state government will not be able to raise revenue if federal government didn't build the infrastructures to do that when Lagos was the capital. They built them with Oyel money.

The biggest infrastructures in lag3 is 3rd mainland bridge and tincan port, they were built with Oyel money by FG.

FatherOfJesus:
Murtala international Airport was built by FG in 1979. I am teaching you history because it wasn't taught in grammar school.

None of those Colonial infrastructures still exists in Lagos that hasn't been remodeled by FG or totally gone.

Even grammar school was built by the Colonial masters, you and I know this. It has just been maintained ever since, although it's still just an average school infrastructure-wise. All these things, nothing wey Yoruba man build but na una shout pass.

Calm down

Jogs1900:
Niger Deltans wey get the oil sef no dey lament like this..Why only igbos?Una own too much jare.... Didn't FG upgrade Enugu airport?Is there no federal government projects in your state?Ijebu ode gramm school wasn't built by Colonial masters..okay...All the principals before of that school have been Yorubas...It was the Yoruba Christians because of their exposure that founded the school..

omonnakoda:
Where did FG get money to invest?
Lagos in 1914 was generating the equivalent of 30 billion naira
The Federal government does not magic money
The money has to come from somewhere and Lagos has always contributed more than it received

ALWAYS

FatherOfJesus:
Well, I am from nigerdelta and I am Igbo.

Did you fail civic education too?

There are Igbos in delta dude. Get that into your tiny skill.

If principals are Yoruba nko? And so? Why's special about Jogs that you cannot see in other regions?

Jogs1900:
Fyi, there are Yorubas in Delta state.....Moreover my mum is from Delta central which make me automatically a Deltan..My people no dey chooke mouth inside Lagos matter..Weve gone pass that..Think of developing your region...Lagos is in the south west and so shall it be forever..Leave Lagos matter alone
...All these threads will make undecided Yorubas to dislike Obi because I noticed you've brought Obis matter into the thread...Tell me if there was any secondary school in 1913 in the south east...Tell me how the colonialists founded IOGS..Mr history

FatherOfJesus:
Which mumu oil, and when did that start?

How many barrels Abi gallon?

Did the oil from Lagos build MMIA, ports, 3rd mainland bridge, Eko and Carter Bridge?

You people think we are fools abi.

FatherOfJesus:
So 40k barrels which was discovered after 2005 bully all the infrastructure FG built in lagos when it was capital? 😂😂🙂

That's if this info is even correct

FatherOfJesus:
I put it to you that you are lying. Lagos in 1924 didn't generate 30billion.

That aside, There was no much infrastructure in Lagos until oil was discovered. Eko bridge, 3rd mainland, tincan, oshodi apapa, western Avenue, ring road, all came after oil revenue started coming.

Thered nothing you can point to that a yoruba man actually did prior 1980 in Lagos, its either FG or Colonial master. So where's this Tinubu built Lagos coming from?

FatherOfJesus:
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.

FatherOfJesus:
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

FatherOfJesus:
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?

Godwin4444:
u are an Igbo

Stop talking crap

Godwin4444:

The annoying thing about u people is that u are aggressively ignorant

U will b saying rubbish with your full chest, imagine this thrash coming from u

No wonder Nigeria is in shambles, I know there are many people like u with this kind of mentality

omonnakoda:
Did I say Tinubu built Lagos? That makes you stupid because I don't believe that and I never said so

The revenue from duty in 1904 was £245000

Today that is £21 million based on

That is just duty
Lagos was ALWAYS putting money on the table
That did not stop when oil was discovered and has continued till today

orisa37:
Before Oil in the South South, there was a Thriving Lagos. Lagos developed by the BUDGET of LAGOS.

FatherOfJesus:
yes I am, I am an Igbo. Proud one

Godwin4444:
then y did u claim south south?

FatherOfJesus:
Bleep you, you Wil dislike Obi anyways, the sane people with working brain who know how Lagos was actually built will vote him. You cannot sell Tinubu to us in the basis thsy he built Lagos. We can no accept such lies.

Sane Yorubas with working Brains will vote the right candidate. Your a perpetual urchin and nothing can change that.

Who the fuccck do you think you people are. You want us to keep quiet when you spread misinformation?

FatherOfJesus:
Lagos wasn't built by a yoruba person, it's between the FG and Colonial masters.

You are showing me nairaland links as evidence. You are a liar unless you show me evidence that is reliable that lfos generated that amount

FatherOfJesus:
lol, olodo, I am delta Igbo. Illiterate 😂

FatherOfJesus:
Well, I am from nigerdelta and I am Igbo.

Did you fail civic education too?

There are Igbos in delta dude. Get that into your tiny skull.
