Tell us you are not from Lagos without telling us you are not from Lagos.

Lagos before and After Tinubu.

It is funny you had to show the project done by the 3rd or 4th governor after your lord and king. I was hoping you would post pictures of Tinubu projects.
It's only Tinubu boys that present other governors achievements as Tinubu projects.

If Lagos was this developed and neat in 1963, which part exactly did Tinubu build outside of the verifiable works of Fashola and Ambode?

/

I think what you should ask is which part did the developers develop with 2X2 shops

The Obi propagandists has shifted their strategy from direct medias assault on Tinubu to a diplomatic method.

Any ways they coloured it. Jagaban's loyalists will contain them. It's all about political strategy and for national interest.

Sometimes I wonder why we even gained independence when life under colonial rule was way better.

Go to that area today and see the kind of anti social elements( thugs, alayes, owomida boys etc ) that have long made a mess of it. Even the unknown soldier cenotaph is a place they smoke hemp and other substances

This what ndi developer said they develop. Awon opuro

Western region was doing great and moving at a fast pace before the coup of January 1966 scattered everything..

Western region had a TV station and was offering free education and healthcare before many developed countries.

Was it yorubas that achieved such?

Tinubu's Lagos below..

Show us Peter Obi's Anambra.

Was Lagos developed by Tinubu people or Peter Obi people, and how's it Tinubu's Lagos?

I lived in Lagos before the mass influx of Ibos. Trust me you don’t want me to answer that question.

Look for old pictures of areas where Ibos are concentrated today.

So other Nigerian tribes don't live in Lagos State, it is now only the Igbos vs the Yorubas that lives in Lagos ?
Shame on you people

are you not the ones who say Ibos outnumber or equal the yorubas in Lagos? if so then the only people who matter are ibos and yorubas. And i said go to where the ibos are concentrated and look for old pictures of those areas when ibos were not many in Lagos. Surulere, ikeja, Amuwo, festac Lekki tell me what difference you see.

Ezmans:
It was covered then but you know our country lacks maintenance culture

It’s a pure lie.

It was never covered.

It has always been open gutters in Aba. And no sidewalks.

In the whole Nigeria, it was only on a few streets in Lagos island the British built covered drains and sidewalks.

You that loved yourself, what have you done with the power given to you? How has it reflected in the growth of the country?
Other countries that are developed, are they not humans like you?
Why are we not as developed as South Africa and other northern African countries? Do they have 2 heads?
The truth is bitter.

You are not as developed as South Africa because the white colonialists regarded South Africa as their home, and settled their people there in large numbers. So they did not steal and loot all the resources of the country, but instead began to build infrastructure, universities, power plants, Industries, from the 1880s.

Such that by the 1950s, South Africa was well developed.

In Nigeria, it was the complete opposite.

The British built a big fat Zero in Nigeria. All they did was loot.

That’s why in 1960 Nigeria was a bush. Zero infrastructure, zero industries, zero power plants, zero universities.

Meanwhile South Africa’s first universities were established in the 1880s.

That is why Nigeria and the rest of Africa are playing catch-up to South Africa - Unlike them, We only began to develop in the 1960s after independence.

Look: Independence brought you out of the bush, so thank your lucky stars ✨ for it.

Sigh...

The image above is exactly how Tinubu left Oshodi. Fashola sanitized the area and left lovely gardens (appreciated by miscreants, the general public and traders alike) and Ambode built the structure in the second image.

None of this was Tinubu - his main contribution to Lagos was growing the income base and entrenching a culture of competence from subsequent governors.

None of Tinubus infrastructure (roads especially) is left intact today. They were typically very poorly done. I'll stand corrected if you have proof to the contrary.

Also, can you confidently share pictures of the area under that Oshodi interchange/overpass? You share the nice picture of the parks looking new but they are currently dilipadated and surrounded by filth!

Though, they might have looted. But I believe Nigeria start oil exploration late. Normally, if the British had used the proceeds from oil/gas Nigeria will be highly developed.
Since they left everything for us, nothing to show off.

Softmirror:
Infact if not for the Buhari's Coup of the early 80s that derailed the progressive development of Lagos. Lagos for don go far, far, far ahead. All this Light rails of today were already initiated for during the days of Jakande.

And regarding the TV station,

Nigeria's First Television Broadcast
Western Nigeria Television (WNTV) launched on October 31, 1959, making it the first television station in Nigeria and the first in Africa.
The station was created by the Western regional government, under Chief Obafemi Awolowo, to serve as a tool for education, information, and cultural promotion.

France launched their's 3 years earlier in Algeria not even France.

And where is the tv station today? Rushing to bring something you can't improve or make maximum use of is not in the best interest of anybody. Africa started playing Nations cup, can you compare it with European Championship. Let us stop gloating over trivial things that doesn't uplift up adequately as a peo people.

Our Independence came too early, the British should have remained till today because the so-called leaders are useless.


Nothing is working in the country anymore, what they're concerned about is to embezzle public funds.

Change is the only constant thing in this life

[quote author=Raco.on post=136354774]Yeah. The Wild, Wild West era was a period of peace and tranquility for a sophisticated region that ended up giving a nation a despicable criminally inclined man like Tinubu.[/quote]

You can see very orderly environment when ipob/ESN leader was not yet born to order burning of BRT in Lagos. This was the time not far from when population census of Lagos done never included igbo then because effect of Samuel Ajayi crowther that brought civilization to them and wrote their first book was still in force. Imagine how beautiful Lagos was then when there was no single baby factory and illegal drug businesses yet. Good time, indeed!

That before was the typical Lagos between 1999 - 2007 and the second one began around 2009/2010

So na who be the governors wey turn Lagos around??

esnbrutality:

You are asking a known propaganda ninja about defending their propaganda posts?

Abeg, see IKEJA before TINUBU changed the landscape, according to RONU-bandits.

Probably somewhere in your village, Ikeja was already developed since the late 60s.
There were even industrial estates in Ikeja created by late chief Obafemi Awolowo.
Go and collect your 5 plots of red mud and stop polluting our space jor.

Those who dismantle regionalism didn't end well, their children, their kiths and kins still won't end well.

It was the threat of the succession of Biafra that led to the collapse of regional government.

We could have done better with regions, I believe on hindsight. But, states were created to destabilise the agitation of Biafra then.
