Jakande built Lagos not tinubu
According to BATerians, Agbadorians, and Mandate Standers, the Lagos Jakande built was submerged by the Atlantic Ocean and wiped out.

The current Lagos was built from scratch by Tinubu

This Op is capping rubbish. You must have got drunk drinking fake hero beer. Who told you the west don’t regard Jakande? If they don’t regard him, will they have voted for him?

Pa Jakande tried. He did well.
Tinubu also tried, he did well..

Both have done well on the western soil. We’ll always regard them.

Though, Nigeria know ibos and lies are like crack addicts and cracks, the rest of the country know that No lies is impossible for the ibos to formulate! The way 2025 ibos tried to rewrite history saying “ Awolowo from prison met ifejuna, zik, aguyin ironsi in prisons many times to plan the 1966 coup ,even when they know awo and zik are arch rival?? Though the coup did not completely go as planned, another naived ibos quickly took over power, for good 6 months leaving the one ( Awolowo)they planned to installed languishing and totalling abandoned ! Killing other region’s leader but for some reasons,”all their leaders whom are awo’s arch rivals somehow escaped ,running away to another country during this attrocities! Another lamba from the idiots was ” Gowon did his investigation,”realised awo was to be made the HEAD OF STATE ,but they thought Northerners were as foolish as they are, yet,Gowon decided to make awo a key figure in his government,then went ahead to erased THE INNOCENT PEOPLE (IGBOS) instead of coming after the awo”s people ! Despite the fact that IBB confirmed it in his book that the coup has an ethnic colouration,with the Ibo people celebrating IBO POWERS , obi retards still somehow accused “ an innocent awo for the wickedness and stupidity of zik and his naived brother aguiyin ironsi! PLS CAN YOU SHOW US A LINK WHERE ANYONE SAID TINUBU BUILT LAGOS FROM 1960, or it’s just one of your unmunna cooked up lies??
