Show us pictures of Osun, Ekiti , Ogun and Ondo before the discovery of oil .


Lagos is the only state in south east doing well before of it's former status as the federal capital territory and the federal government's support in building the state. Other south west states are nothing to write home about .


Ibadan in the 1960s

When places like Kano, Benin, and Lagos were booming with city lives, people living in that region were still using leaves as clothes.

Go and do your research, the Lagos Island is what is known as the federal capital.
Ever heard of Dodan barracks?, that is the seat of the federal government.
It is located at Marina street on the Lagos Island.
The remaining land mass in Lagos today belongs to SW.
My great grandma's family house is on the Island, the family name is called, Smith at a place called Bamgbose street, on the Lagos Island.
In the early 80s, na leg we dey take navigate those area, to Marina.
Na for Marina we dey enter boat go Maroko.
The same Maroko dem dey call Victoria island today.
The moment you stepped into Maroko, you're again stepping into western Nigeria.
When you come down from the island by eko bridge,, that bus stop, western Nigeria starts from there.
Everywhere in Lagos state except the Lagos Island is SW
So how is Lagos state, a property of the federal government of Nigeria?.
Na laugh I dey laugh anytime I read this rubbish online.

Is there any city in your region they can rank...Na only big villages una get..
It's a pride Lagos is competing with Algiers in a list that has Vienna, milan, London, Copenhagen etc.
apart from the former nigerian capital, is there any state in SW that deserved to be called town?

In SS we have great NON-NIGERIAN CAPITAL cities like uyo, portharcourt, benin city.

In SE we have Enugu, Owerri, Nnewi, Awka.

But in ur region,apart from the NIGERIAN capital, u have no single two story building.

During this time those cities you are mentioning were all jungles. Till today, only hotels and abandoned December properties make up those cities. So let us hear word.

Your comment shows your immaturity as well. What do you mean that he was disgracing himself about his post? He did a research and came up with something reasonable to share with us. If you felt he got it all wrong,then come up with a BETTER research. We're all here to learn.
Don't let unnecessary hatred overcome your sense of reasoning. You can disagree with someone's post without insulting the person.


Jogs1900:


You know nothing about Lagos maybe because of your age.
Instead of disgracing yourself, why not meet your elders to tell you about Lagos.

Lagos was built by the Yorubas with the hard earned money from their cocoa farms. The airport and the sea port you are using in lagos today was built by Awolowo with money from cocoa. Yorubas never needed oil money to progress. And we still remain the envy of other nations for a lot of good reasons.

O hun ta ni lan gbe laruge
How come if lagos was already built as far back as 20yrs ago alot of choice estates were bushes you could afford with chicken change.

It's a thing of pride that Lagos is ranked alongside Algiers etc. in a list that includes London, Copenhagen , Milan, kuala Lumpor, Vienna, Sydney etc.Just like in Forbes list of richest people im the world that has Elon Musk as no 1..person wey him name dey no 200 for the list go happy na.
None of their cities are ranked because the world see them as villages..Imagine in 2023, no skyscapper or world standard stadium in the whole of south east..What parameters are they going to use to rank them?
Lagos is dominated by yoruba πŸ˜† 🀣 πŸ˜‚ 😹 πŸ˜†, shit hole
