Kemetian:
How long before a slave turns up to praise the colonial prison?

Funny how they never built a single university or power plant, but built massive prisons and police buildings for the Nigerian masses.

delpee:
Apart from the College, barracks and airport, the whole industrial estate and GRA belonged to the Western Region.

nairalanda1:
Before anyone comes and starts saying the good old days

1. Under colonial rule,most people did not have access to good roads, good power supply, and potable water

2. Only a tiny minority went to school,even fewer went to colleges like these

3. Most people were not rich. They were poor.

4. Development was dependent on whether the colonialists found your area useful to their purposes. Hence the police college being built in Lagos.

T9ksy:
Lagos island not Lagos state. No one is re-writing history however, you are being obtuse by chanting "Lagos,Lagos ,Lagos" like a broken record player.

Am sure, you are aware of the difference between Lagos island - the Colonial seat of power at thr time and Lagos state, that was created in 1967.

KennethOkonkwo:
"ANY PROJECT"


All part of Nigeria including ENUGU,ONITSHA ETC weredeveloped by the FG,the state governments and NATIVES!


YOU CANT BE REMINDING US OF FG WHEN LAGOS IS MENTIONED BUT KEEP QIET WHEN ENUGU,PORT HARCOURT AND KADUNA THAT WERE ALL BUILT FROM THE SCRATCH BY THE COLONIAL MASTER AND FG ARE BEING MENTIONED

They met LAGOS as a city while those 3 including ABUJA are pure creation of the FG and COLONIAL MASTERS...LEAVE LAGOS ALONE AND FACE THE QUAD

FreeStuffsNG:
That was part of Western Region

Ikeja was carved out from the defunct Western region to give the Lagos State created in 1967 sufficient land mass and access to some strategic assets still under control of OODUA till date.

That's why it's laughable to confuse Lagos with Lagos State.

Basic123:
Saying good old days is a complete PRIMACY BIAS!

Nigeria has never had a good old days!

Dtruthspeaker:
There was no helicopter in Lagos in 1939. Truly, how did they get this?

Brendaniel:
I'm not too bothered about where was Lagos or not Lagos island and what not... My concern here are projects, investments by the FG whether in Lagos or Lagos island, give the FG its credits...

Brendaniel:
The question you should be asking is: was the development equal and is it still equal?

If it was equal why is Abuja more developed than Ekiti, Osun, Ogun, Oyo and Ondo states?

You can stay and be deceiving yourself...

codemaniacs:
There can never be equal development everywhere because money is a scarce resource.

development has to do with how much a place makes and the skillset of the people of that place or how much is invested into infrastructural developments of that place either by the people of that place, government or external investors.

codemaniacs:
Colonial government is not the FG.

Nigeria was not a democracy during that period.

Brendaniel:
Lagos was the capital(seat of power)

Brendaniel:
So why is Abuja getting more development from the FG than other states?

codemaniacs:
Lagos was the export point and trading route they robbed blind.

codemaniacs:
Abuja is not getting more development from the FG.

There is Akwa ibom, Delta, Rivers, Bayelsa who get more from the FG than Abuja.....

Its private individuals, politicians, external investors that are developing Abuja.

Why did Abuja development slow down when Buhari was president

runningriot:
This is quite amazing and fascinating but how was that aerial image captured haven't it been known that drone were not available as of then?

Brendaniel:
So why is Ekiti, Osun, Oyo, Ondo and Ogun not more developed than Abuja?

Brendaniel:
Read

codemaniacs:
A section of Lagos island was the capital not the whole of Lagos.

codemaniacs:
Oyo, Ogun, Ekiti, Osun, Ondo are more developed than Abuja if you consider the size of Abuja to those states?

Abuja has more economic activities than those states except Oyo and Ogun.

Why is Akwa ibom, Delta, Rivers, Bayelsa not mord developed than Abuja

Brendaniel:
Why do some of you love validating the comment in the screenshot ?

Brendaniel:
Whether you call it Lagos island or Lagos, it was the capital of Nigeria, that is my point...

codemaniacs:
Your point is not the truth and not based on facts so your point is false.

If your daddy is giving one of your siblings N800,000 monthly and an outsider hears it and starts saying your daddy gives his children N800,000 monthly is that the truth?

Brendaniel:
The question you should be asking is: was the development equal and is it still equal?

KennethOkonkwo:
Why should it be equal?

Was Lagos not even more civilized before it was choosed as the capital?

FreeStuffsNG:
That was not Lagos. It was part of Western Region i.e Ikeja, planned and administered from Ibadan, capital of Western Region

Ikeja was carved out from the defunct Western region to give the Lagos State created in 1967 sufficient land mass and access to some strategic assets still under control of OODUA till date.

That's why it's laughable when outsiders confuse Lagos with Lagos State.

DrAkpa:
Ignorance is a curse. PLS who owns the oil that generated the money used to develop Ikeja and every other part of Lagos? You think U r making sense, but sounding very ignorant.

MrSly:
You guys always come up with preposterous argument. Who ever confused Lagos with Lagos State. Have people been confusing Kano with Kano state or Jigawa with Jigawa state. You guys create argument out of your own stack illiteracy.
