But for a record, there are hybrid areas in that Lagos that only his brothers can afford to live with few of your tribal brother....

Some from Ekiti or Osun always dream of coming to Lagos to hawk Agbo .....but laziness has stopped that movement...

COMPAQ:
Not a bad idea, but I wonder if its really needed. MMIA is actually underutilized. International flights cluster in the morning and late night. During the day, the airport is mainly idle, compared to other global international airports that have international landings every 5minutes round the clock.

However, given that Lagos is huge and constantly expanding, Lekki airport could serve al those flying domestically and internationally, who live in the Chevron/VGC area and beyond all the way to Epe, Ijebu axis and even Akure, up to Benin.

But my fear is that it will also be underutilized.

Airmate:
Na Good development for ikorodu in the nearest future

RealLordZeus:
This will also ease traffic as ppl coming from Lekki ajah won't have any business coming to Ikeja to fly

Ijaya123:
Forward ever

Wickedfacts:
Same thing your fathers said when the infrastructure in Lagos were being built. Today, you are hawking gala there.

You see that airport, your children will hawk gala there.

I have to come in here after months of noticing some of your posts which don't portray you as a Yoruba person which you claimed you are? I observed you like posting random narcissistic comments atimes with you now referring to the impending Lekki-Epe International Airport as "another elephant project"(sic). What kind of "bored" language is that? If you don't know already, the Lekki-Epe International Airport is a major PPP (Public-Private Partnership) project running into millions of USD, and all the past to present Lagos State Governments (right from the early 2000s) have followed through and delivered on all the mega developmental projects they've embarked on as PPPs such as the Lekki Free Trade Zone in Ibeju-Lekki, the Lekki Deep Sea Port in Ibeju-Lekki, the iconic cable suspension Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge built by Julius Berger under former Governor Babatunde Raji-Fasola, the Blue and Red Rail Lines under Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu (who worked as a senior investment banker, rising to the senior rank of a banking Treasurer), and much more.

So, this Lekki-Epe International Airport project will be delivered as well since an MoU has already signed and looking at the updated vibrant model design(s) of the new airport on the IG page of PPP Lagos, it's going to turn out as one of the most functional and aesthetically designed airports in the world and will be rated in the top 20 airports worldwide. Get yourself updated. Period.

Wickedfacts:
[b]Yorubas own Lagos. [/b]The fact that you bought a plot doesn't mean it cannot be taken from you.

Foolish economic refugees from the East need to read the back of the C of O in Lagos to understand that your destiny in life is to serve Yorubas just how your fathers served.

iwaeda:
Aguta ni mo ti wa. Gbogbo wa ole sun ka kori si bikan. How many MOUs were signed with 4th mainland bridge by Fashola, Ambode and Sanwo-Olu? You hate the truth. I grew up in Lagos with pipe borne water running everywhere. You hate the truth and like play ethnic card. How honest are the present PPP, look at Lekki toll gate that Fashola agreed he has for paid and owned by LASG? Despite everything Ambode did at Ajah, Agege, Oshodi, we were told he didnt follow masterplan. Emi kolota yin, spend the money and let people be free from shackles of few slavemasters.

iwaeda:
Your likes don't even know anything, I am Igbomina, my daddy is Lagosian, my family house is not far from FASHOLA's house. With all the noise mairuwa supplies water in Lagos. Alternate roads at VGC has been abandoned since 2023. Oshodi underbridge is helpless situation. Someone said there is Master Plan, is it the one by Jakande or Ajagungbale, Temini gbogbonkan, Ojusana?

I just read this reply you made to someone else.

That's interesting. You are Igbomina from Kwara or Osun States? How's it possible for you to be from Igbomina if you say your father is a Lagosian from Eko (Lagos Island?).

You mean you are from Eko (Lagos Island) when you say your father is a "Lagosian?"

Second, Lagosian is a historical term that is strictly used from time to describe indigenes of Lagos Island. If you're an indigene of the Ijebu areas of Lagos State such as Epe, Ikorodu, Ibeju-Lekki LGAs or an indigene of other major towns of the Aworis on Lagos Mainland in Lagos State, that person CANNOT be called a Lagosian, (It's the highly unenlightened younger members of the media and others who WRONGLY refer to everybody living in Lagos State as "Lagosians" due to their not being familiar with Lagos State's history).

God forbid iwaeda children to awk gala at our new airport, they can awk in Aba, onitsha, asaba or anywhere in the south east

As the Lord liveth, my children, we produce gala and drinks for other to sell. Eti yin di ni, I am from Kwara, not Ila orun

YesDaddyTill203:
Nice.

We have close to 500 acres near the proposed site. I intend to keep that land for as long as I am alive.
Ain't nobody in my family is selling one single plot to anyone.
We are keeping it for our unborn generations, my great grand parent kept it for us.

Sanwo-Olu father is from Ijebu-Mushin, Hamzat 's father from Sogade, Ogun. Hope you now understand why my father is from Lagos and I am from Kwara. Isale-Eko ni mi, Onala, Agarawu, January, Isale-Agbede, Itaalagba, Obe, Alli, Adeniji are my areas. Holy Trinity, Ebute-Ero my family CHURCH.

Konquest:
Aha! I see, "awon area niyen." That's mad cool.

Indeed, Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu's father is originally from Ijebu-Mushin but the family house is on Lagos Island, and Dr. Obafemi Hamzat's father who (I he remember was the Commissioner for Transportation under Governor Lateef Jakande's cabinet in the Second Republic) later became known as
Oba Mufutau Olatunji Hamzat, the Olu of Afowora Sogade in Ogun State. He was responsible for overseeing the plans for the Lagos Metro line mega project which was eventually scrapped by the Military government which took over forcibly on December 31, 1983.

Last but not least, Alhaji Lateef Jakande's biological parents were both from Omu-Aran in Kwara State, but Jakande was born in Isale-Eko (Lagos Island) and grew up there so he was a complete Lagos Island "boy" and was popular, so, when Chief Jeremiah Obafemi Awolowo, GCFR, SAN, the leader of the Unity Party of Nigeria (UPN) raised his hand as the gubernatorial flag bearer of the UPN in Lagos State and Alhaji Rabiu Bakare Jafojo as the Deputy gubernatorial candidate in 1979, everybody who mattered in politics and a vast number of the Lagos State electorate fell in line to elect both Alhaji Lateef Jakande and Alhaji Rafiu Jafojo as the Governor and Deputy-Governor of Lagos State from 1979 till 1983 when the military unfortunately struck in that December 31st 1983 coup d'etat.

ambale:
Can the APC government just give credence to human development in the next few years

People are so struggling to even keep up with the lifestyle of a city right now

Increase people's Purchasing power, so when there are infrastructures, they can ably use it

The ibadan train is a perfect example, it is not even generating what it should, cos those living on its corridor are not even empowered to use it
