So how is that your business?
Is South South a part of South East?
Are we complaining to you?
Stupid attachee.

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

It was built with money from Lagos
It was not built in 1979, The terminal was remodelled in 1979 but the airport was not built then.
It was there in 1960s and we have a new terminal again under Buhari does not mean Buhari built the airport
It pays its way.It is sustainable and not subsidised.
How did we pay for the civil war and emerge without debt

Oil was NOT THE ONLY SOURCE of money in Nigeria
Oil did not pay for the Niger bridge

Yankee101:
It's like saying Imo and Ondo are not oil producing


The number of companies paying taxes in lagos include oil and gas companies

First bank taxes alone can develop a state

First bank taxes do not accrue to LASG
A common error
Company tax in Nigeria accrues to the FG NOT states
What the state gets is PAYE tax on individuals. So whatever LASG gets from first bank depends on number of workers living in Lagos

reading your comments I don’t need a soothsayer to tell me u are Igbo

Like seriously it’s easy to know u people with your comment even if u claim Sudanese

The question is
Y are u igbos so obsessed with other Lagos?
Are u the only ethnic group there?
Y must every bad comment about lagos come from igbos?
There are different tribes in lagos but only igbos complain about lagos?
What is your problem?
If u don’t like how it is governed then u leave d place?
Is anyone tieing u down in lagos?
With the way u people hate Yorubas I still don’t expect u people to b dere?
Y are u finding it hard to respect your host?
This is the same thing u do outside d country n when your host turn on u then u start playing d victim game


This was d same thing that led to kaduna declaration, like seriously it’s annoying n it will make people hate u more

U are just making it obvious Peter obi is coming here to cause chaos for other tribes n people who have been supporting u will clearly see it that u have a hidden agenda

We will vote Peter Obi and he Wil open Warri port. Die, emilokan kill you there 😂

omonnakoda:
So what ? If Eboes built it? Let them go and build Aba

That is the link being discussed on on the Nairaland link

So the pointer is to the Colonial reports and yes The Nairaland discussion is important

Come back and tell us if is fake

FG and Colonial masters built Lagos, not Yorubas. Build akure, let's see

Godwin4444:
so u think this is d best way to campaign for obi right?

gedafuk, the the best way of killing the Tinubu built Lagos lies.

FatherOfJesus:
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

Lagos Island was the Capital not Lagos state

The remaining 97% of Lagos was part of the Western Region developed by Awolowo

Here is the 1962 Map Of the Western Region and Lagos

The tiny dot beneath Ikeja was the FCT

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?

Hehehehehe

This one cracked me up!

This is true

Omo the way some igbos are obsessed with Lagos is concerning!

Why are the pandora osu obsessed with Lagos
It borders on the pathological

christistruth01:
Lagos Island was the Capital not Lagos state

And you think that 97% did not benefit from being close to the Island? Villages around State capitals benefit immensely from being close by as development spreads, to talk of somewhere next to a federal capital territory

Your Father's (Azikiwe and Ironsi in particular) just couldn't see or understand the Vision of Lagos and the Western Region that Awolowo saw

Awolowo built ikeja including all the Industrial Estates out of a thick jungle overun with wild Elephants, Gorillas, chimpanzees Crocodiles And Leopards running loose into the commercial capital of the western region

ikeja was a thick jungle before Awolowo landed on it and Transformed it , and in those days Ikeja included all the coastline of Lagos except for Lagos Island


The dream that turned Lagos into an Economic Power and Super Star was Awolowo's dream

To add insult to injury your father's made sure Awolowo was Jailed for that Dream because it was too much for them to Stomach and it was too far ahead of their time

Do its no longer Tinubu that built Lagos but Awolowo

StaffofOrayan:
Omo the way some igbos are obsessed with Lagos is concerning!

Azikiwe coveted Lagos
Ojukwu coveted and attacked Lagos
Kanu's IPOB attacked Lagos

Meanwhile Lagos is not in the East O!

If they are granted Biafra today,90% of their People will still refuse to leave Lagos

you have oyel in abundance in your region.

what's stopping your leaders from taking oyel money to transform ss to lagos standard?

there're 26 million people in the ss. it shouldn't be impossible to find a visionary like awolowo or tinubu among your people to create and implement your lagos vision.

People need to understand that for a Leader to have a great and good Vision for his People and to successfully pass that vision on to succeeding generations of leadership so that over 35 years after Awolowo's death his vision is still being pursued by his People is not a small thing

Awolowo Truly believed in his heart that Nigeria was destined to be greater than Europe

Just listen to Awolowo here

Why is oil money making Nigeria the poverty capital of the world.
Meanwhile,Lagos continues to grow exponentially 30 years after oil money left Lagos.
No be juju dey do you so?

1. All federal taxes are redistributed
2. You can pay zero company tax and still pay billions in PAYE, Property, Advertisement and Local Government taxes

Go and refresh your accounting

What is your point? You have not communicated it
What do you mean by federal taxes are redistributed.
Maybe it makes sense in your mind but you need to communicate in clear English what exactly your point is

All states do the PAYEE thing but Lagos surpasses everyone one of them because of the technollogy driven system they use and most especially prudence and the midas touch which is gifted by the Benevolent.
Remember,Kano too has a large population.

Oil and Gas money from the South South is the least of revenue items that contributed to building Lagos

C'est fini

gidgiddy:

Tinubu continued Awolowo's Dream

Where is Azikiwe"s Dream?

christistruth01:

Oh I see. I wonder why this dream only happened in the areas close to the Federal Capital territory? Why didnt this dream happen in Osun, Ekiti and Ondo? Or was it different dream for them?
