Lagos In The 1960s In Pictures by OredoPikin(op): 9:46am On Sep 22, 2025
The biggest lie ever told in the history of Nigeria politics was that Tinubu built Lagos.
How he was able to sustain that lies for years needs to be a topic in Nigeria histroy.
Attached are pictorial view of lagos in the 1960s when tinubu was still less than 10yrs old.
Imagine using a state like this that the foundation have been laid for years by colonial and then military/civilian govt to compare to other states because of politics

What's the obsession with Lagos state? Don't you have your home state to be bragging about without bringing others down?
Re: Lagos In The 1960s In Pictures by helinues: 9:50am On Sep 22, 2025
Some of you are just deliberately disrespectful as you are not interested in minding your business

Lagos is developing, progressing whether with common wealth money or not. Can you say the same about your home state?

Lagos has the foundation already
If my state witness just half of what was pumped in Lagos, by now, the topic would have changed

Okay Tinubu destroyed Lagos state while Peter Obi built Anambra state.

At least this should make you happy and have a rest of mind
Re: Lagos In The 1960s In Pictures by ivandragon: 9:57am On Sep 22, 2025
Whether bat built lagos or not is inconsequential at this time.

What is current and important at this time is his poor performance as president.

He is performing poor because he has always performed poor

Lagos may need to payback all the trillions taken from the Niger Delta to build her up since independence.
It is either Lagos stays as a federal property or pays back the hundreds of trillions used to build her up as the former political capital of Nigeria and the current economic capital of this weird nation.

Is it not because of Peter Obi you are undermining president Tinubu?

Bayelsa state that has been collecting 13% from oil revenue, what have the past and present governors in the state done with the resources? You are not concerned about that but obsessed with Lagos state which is becoming a country on its own

Yes he did with the creation of the agbero system just to collect tax and loot.
Except u are not around when tinubu was lagos governor.
Areas like oshodi, mile 2 etc was a no go area immediately it is 7pm.
Imagine Lagos was already this heavily developed in the 60s/70s
The only thing Tinubu did in lagos was the creation of agbero to help him accumulate more tax and loot, and then renaming of agencies.
The little sanity u see in Lagos today started with fashola
Stop the lies and propagandas

😂😂😂😂😂 This obssesion about Lagos ehn.
Reminds me of those early Nollywood movies which brother Chinedu travels back to the village and starts telling stories about Lagos and then Okoro and Ojukwu will vow that they must enter Lagos by fire by force. Later in the night, they both sneak out of the house and join night bus wey go carry them go Lagos. 😂😂😂

Okay in short, Tinubu destroyed Lagos state.

Could you now tell us which state you are from and what your past and present governors have been doing with their own resources without destroying the state?
Re: Lagos In The 1960s In Pictures by Vergovert:
There was nothing like the current Lagos state before 1960.

Nigeria, as it is now, did not exist before 1966.
The groundnuts funds from the north and the coal funds from the east was not used to develop the western region.



So if this is Lagos in 1960 then, it is wrong to say Nigerian money were used to develop it.


Every state in Nigeria has been collecting allocation from Nigerian government since it's creation.

Lagos is using its internally generated funds plus the federal allocation to develop itself.

Other states should emulate Lagos.
