You would all cry tired. Selfish and tribalist set of people. Just because of punishing Tinubu, poor masses should be suffering. Wicked people.

Change or redesign of currency is not being done for the first time in Nigeria. Beside, it's constitutional responsibility of CBN.

If you're really smart & just, you should know that judiciary can not direct or order CBN on this matter. It's not about what anyone like in this matter.

Rather concentrate your efforts on where you can make positive contribution.

Yorubaland is the best governed region in Nigeria. That is why you people will rather die in our land.

Empty pride! A region consist of 6 states but only take glory on one that was fortunate to have been built with national fund having been FCT.

Just shvt up, if you are as intelligent as you claim then you should know politics is different from education

You're the one misquoting & reacting unnecessarily. My first opinion doesn't demean your tribe in anyway but you choose to personalized it.

If you're educated yet not politically sound, why fighting for political positions that you have no skills to run?

I'm sure wise Yorubas will agree with me but touts like you will keep jumping up & down quoting everybody without making reasonable point.

This point and kill governor is a hypocrite.
All BRT/LAGBUS stations are not accepting the old notes.
At the Ikeja Station it is clearly posted on their signboard, that old notes are not accepted.
When I got to Obalende, they still rejected old notes.
Your state controlled transport firm is rejecting old notes, but you are trying to force the masses against the FG

Everyone who praises the leadership of Tinubu as Supreme is "paid" ba? Whatever makes you sleep at night bro.
Their is a difference between Tinubu of 20 years ago and Tinubu of today. 20 years ago he wasn't exemptionally brilliant, what made you think his values did not diminish. He is a spent force who need to retire to enjoy his ill acquired wealth. We have seen the effect of old age on Buhari no need going through Buhari part 2.

The truth is, I'm a northerner but very much concerned about our none progressing country. These wicked elites enjoy our tribal, religious & political clashes to achieve their aim of divide & rule formular.

It's time we test our popularity before the elites & political gladiators. We must all understand that good number of these people are naturally wicked, evil minded & have no society at heart.

Why have they not being reacting regards our numerous pains & complain from their senseless policies, but suddenly crying everywhere about cashless policy which is constitutional responsibility of CBN? Claiming to be fighting for masses & you're believing them.

Alarming number of people have died in Kaduna state, El Rufai never deemed it fit to cry out but suddenly have the masses at heart. Even taking case to supreme court on behalf of the masses.

Anybody that allow these evil politicians use their brain more than once then it's your fault. You have no moral right to complain in future.

Lagos was not fortunate to have been built with national fund having being (been) FCT as you said. Without being FCT, and enslaved in Nigeria, Lagos would have developed 10,000% more than it is in 1992 when IBB left Lagos and from 1994 to 1998 that Abacha abandoned Lagos.

The VAT and other contributions Lagos made to the Federal government till date is 1000% more than what the Federal government invested in Lagos.
If Lagos were to be independent of Nigeria before Independence till date, the cost of population burden wouldn't have been shouldered by Lagos. Lagos would have converted it into Revenue that is more than the investment from Federal government. Be reminded that this investment is solely from Niger Delta oil.

Lagos has been West Africa Trade hub and regional slave terminal before Nigeria became a country and before the Capital was eventually relocated from Calabar.

Before the British takeover of part of Lagos Island as a Colony, the Portuguese were already doing trade. It is the natural endowment of Lagos and its associated huge business potentials as recognized in the SPIRIT REALM as a City with THREE INTERNATIONAL BOUNDARIES - LAND, SEA and AIR that made the British to want to make Lagos as an extension of London in Nigeria.

Lagos made Nigeria and Nigeria will always be indebted to Lagos.

When IBB left Lagos, I can never forget the statement he made on National Broadcast on the eve of his departure (December 11, 1991). The statement has not changed, even on NTA -International Network it is there. Abuja is a Political and Economic Capital of Nigeria for almost 33 years.

I don't think you're aware that you've just succeeded in exposing yourself, Lagos state & entire southwest the more.

1. You said Lagos development wasn't gained from FCT status, what happened to the other 5 states of southwest?

2. You said it wasn't developed with Nigerians' resources or fund but Niger Delta, does those structures you're using to generate the humongous revenue fell from heaven?

3. Every states of southwest just like other states of Nigeria have diverse natural resources, I'm aware.
i. Why have Oyo, Ogun, Osun, Ondo & Ekiti states not developed up to at least like half of your Lagos? ii. Going by your conclusion, could it be that they're having bad leadership all these while or reserving their development till Odudua is realized?

I did not bother to read your uncivilized essay to the end. Which infrastructure was used to generate huge revenue? The money generated by International trade through the sea was used by the British to develop railway many years before oil discovery. This was less than 10% of the total revenue as the main revenue was remitted abroad by the British and the reason for the amalgamation of Southern and Northern protectorate was because of economic potential of the South. Which infrastructure was on ground before Lagos made huge revenue? Were the European paying taxes to Lagos before moving slaves and produce out Lagos?

It is like your fathers saying the British Petroleum used groundnut pyramid money to explore oil in NigerDelta. Despite over 100 billions of Dollars used to prospect for oil in the North in the last Forty Five years, nothing was channelled to oil prospecting in Lagos in Dahomey Basin. It is individuals efforts and determinations that brought Aje oilfield out and now Ogo oilfield is about to come online. Lagos has been a market that serves countries in West and Central Africa before the British came.

Coming to South West, the South West was the best developed region before the Military came and destroyed the entire South with Unitary government. Also, the Yorubas mistakenly and blindfoldly fought the IBOs.

The internal political crisis of Awolowo / Akintola affected South West, followed by the incarceration and the death of Abiola. The era of military rule was the era of stagnation and backwardness for the South West. This is the era the North caged the entire South using the military.

The development agenda of the South West is intact and the Littoral States of Ogun and Ondo are working towards the actualization of the masterplan after postwar era of Military enslavement till 1999.

That was a great submission from
you @babaolofin.

In addition, until May 27, 1967 when Lagos State was first created for the indigenes by General Gowon, over 90% of the current land area of today's Lagos State, such as Ikorodu, Epe, Ibeju Lekki, Ikeja, Agege, Orile Iganmu, Mushin, Isolo, Amuwo Odofin, Ojo, Badagry, were all under the Western Region Action Group government of the great leader, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, GCFR, SAN.

Ikeja GRA and the great industrial hubs of Ikeja Industrial Estate, Ilupeju Industrial Estate, and Oluyole Industrial Estate in Ibadan were established by Chief Awolowo's Action Group party goverment from the 1950s.

Apapa Port was indeed the point of entry or export of Western Regions finished and semi-finished goods.

So, Awolowo's regional government generated sustainable income and gave free education right up to Agege, Ibeju Lekki,
Badagry, to Agbor to Asaba.

History lessons in the media truly have to be emphasized otherwise these younger generation will keep mangling history.

Indeed.

It is Lagos Island that was the capital of the British colony of Nigeria from 1914 till 1991 NOT the larger Lagos State which on came into existence on May 27, 1967.

Lugard wanted Kaduna to be the capital of the British colony because Lagos Island was owned by native Yorubas and the weather was enervating. The British Home government overuled Lugard, and that was how Lagos Island became the administrative capital of the newly amalgamated Nigeria in 1914 because it is close to the sea.

The British colonial archives contain all these historical facts.

Lagos Island was never the Capital of Nigeria before Amalgamation. Lagos was never the Capital of the Southern Protectorate before Amalgamation. The Northern protectorate and the Southern protectorate and the Gold Coast were different independent unit of the Crown in West Africa.

Calabar was a former capital of Nigeria. There was a time the Southern protectorate have their Capital at around Asaba.

The Lagos Island rulership that was forcefully taken over from Oba of Lagos was done to make Lagos Island an extension of London Territory in Nigeria thereby taking over the commercial activities of Lagos making remittances to the Crown using peanut for infrastructure. They prevented the natives (yorubas) from having access to the colonized areas. Is that how Lagos was as Capital? They created forbidden areas for the blacks (Yorubas) in the colonized part of Lagos. Thanks to Adegoke Adelabu - penkelemess .

The insolvency and survival of the Northern protectorate made the British to amalgamate the North and the Southern protectorate. The Cotonou port and Lome port were under the French leaving Tema port and Port of Lagos for the British trade. The economic activities along Lagos Abidjan and Lagos Dakar in the West African Routes were higher than Calabar Cameroun, Malabo in the Central African States, hence they annexed Lagos Island and exploited her resources to ship goods from landlocked protectorate using peanut for little development. This still continue till today in another dimension.

We cannot forget Calabar was a former Nigeria Capital. We cannot forget the British annexed Lagos by a forceful takeover for exploitation and not for development.

Also, only fools can think the British Petroleum used groundnut pyramid money to explore Nigerdelta oil when in actual sense they paid for exploration. Colonial master brought nothing to Lagos because what attracted them to Lagos was far in excess of what they brought from anywhere. Lagos made Nigeria and not the other way round.

Dubai is just one of the Emirates in the United Arab Emirates. What Dubai contributed to UAE is far more than what goes into Dubai from the UAE. Dubai has freedom while Lagos is being strangulated.

History has been manipulated since the era of Internet. Lagos to Accra is shorter than Lagos to Kaduna. Niger & Chad or Cameron (Atiku) are French Colonies and and of less economic value and importance to the British while Lagos and Ghana are British colonies and Lagos to Accra is Shorter than Lagos to Kaduna and economic potential of Lagos, Accra up to Abidjan, Sierra Leone are higher. Moreover the northern protectorate has insolvency problem and economic survival why should British think of Kaduna? At last, the military after the Yorubas mistakenly and blindfoldedly fought the IBOs move everything from Lagos and Niger Delta.

Let me tell you the fact that, the northern evil politicians capitalized on your greed & self centeredness to destroy Nigeria then claim lord over her. Knowing that, once you're carried along & made the teacup holder even without tasting the tea, you're satisfied & will betray the entire southern region for them. Again note, I'm a bonafide northerner!

Why can't you all channel these your knowledge of history to support regional government but chose to enslave yourselves?

Why always fighting & betraying other southern regions (especially Igbos)?

Why living in hypocrisy & pretending all is well with Nigeria just 'cos few of your kins enjoy little favour from the northern evil politicians?

From your acclaimed dugout fact, does these acclaimed penury or figures used to developed Lagos have no actually figures?

Also from your acclaimed dugout fact, at what level did Tinubu takeover Lagos? Since you guys have severally claimed Tinubu made Lagos.

I urge you & your kins to join forces with other southern & middle belt states to ensure regional or even united states system of government reality?
Whereby each region or state feed the centre on agreed percentage instead of the centre determining the sharing formular to states.
