During his time as military governor (1977–1978), Ndubuisi Kanu's contributions included:
Supporting urban planning to help manage Lagos's rapid population growth.
Continuing road and infrastructure development projects started by previous administrations.
Overseeing government administration while Lagos was still Nigeria's federal capital.
Laying groundwork for future development rather than completing major landmark projects himself

Una don start.

An Ibo man forgot to build his SE state but did all manner of miracles as a Lagos state military administrator in less than one year .

Keep clutching at straws.

Not everything should be reduced to tribal bigotry and divisive politics.

A simple Google search would have ensured you were properly informed and saved you from engaging in this kind of baseless bickering.

For the record, this is what Sanwo-Olu said while naming LagosHOMS, Gbagada, after former Lagos State Administrator Ndubuisi Kanu:

"Ndubuisi Kanu, in his service as Military Governor of Lagos State between 1977 and 1978, was one of those who laid the foundation of modern Lagos."

He has no legacy to his name.

No single infrastructure project apart from the claim that he introduced accountability in the Lagos state adminstration.

There's nothing whatsoever to celebrate this unexpected military imposed Pilate.

Which history?

A history of lies told by you tribalist revisionist.

Lagos had existed for close to a hundred years before he was appointed military governor by Obasanjo and he was only there for less than a year and you said he built Lagos ?

What will you then say of the likes of Marwa and Mobalaji Johnson who have legacy projects to their names ?

You are the tribalist here because you ignored all other governors who have contributed to Lagos development and went to crown your own Ibo as the sole architect of Lagos.

This man must be a miracle worker oo...just one year to build a whole state....nice one....some. Nigerians and lies na 5&6...tinubu dey lie...obi dey lie...atiku dey lie.....citizens dey lie....nigeria is doomed

Interesting. You say he has no legacy, yet the current Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, publicly acknowledged that Ndubuisi Kanu the one of those who laid the foundation of modern Lagos.

So, who should people believe, you or the sitting governor of Lagos?

You don't have to agree with Sanwo-Olu's assessment, but pretending Kanu had no legacy while the state's governor credits him with laying the foundation of modern Lagos is a contradiction that deserves explaining.

DomPerignon, I must advice that it's time to emancipate yourself from tribal bîgótry and ethnic divisive campaign and engage with documented facts instead.

He couldnt have built lagos in two years

Sanwoulu acknowledged every past governor of Lagos.

Your Ndubusi wasn't singled out.

The real tribalists are you who claim that this Kanu was the architect of modern Lagos all because he is Ibo


This is how you were all claiming Ozumba Mbandewe was the one behind modern Lagos as well.

To you , it's only the sole Ibo military administrator who served less than one year without any legacy projects that is the best ever governor.

What do we say about Buba Marwa and Mobalaji Johnson who contributed immensely in developing Lagos ?

Go rest with your hypocrisy and tribalism.

I love the way you used marine rope to tie yourself while exposing your hypocrisy. At least we have agreed that Lagos state has existed for over a hundred years and you've even given kudos to legends like Mobolaji Johnson and Marwa. You shall eventually be forced to vomit the truth about Lagos development whether you like it or not because we were not all born after 1999, many of us were already very matured by then and knew our left from right. How far investigations into the nauseating scandals rocking Abuja to its core ? We need updates

Compare the statement above to the topic of the thread.

So because Sanwoulu recognised him as one of many past governors of Lagos , he is now the one that single handily built Lagos as per the topic of this thread and what it is meant to convey .

You guys have a very long way to go with your propaganda because its not going to sell outside your circles.

don't mind him, nothing like Lagos state until agbero chairman came and drafted it from the sea and created all the touts and agberos in it. If not for agbero chairman who will know you

See the title of this thread and the rubbish the OP is trying to push.

Now compare it with what Sanwoulu said about Ndubusi Kanu .

So because Sanwoulu recognised his contribution as a former administrator of Lagos state as part of one of many others before and after him to help lay the foundations for a modern Lagos he is now adjudged by you all to be the one to have single handedly built Lagos as per what the OP is trying to push as another latest Ibo revisionist propaganda on claims of developing and owning Lagos .

Keep running your mouths .

So there was no Lagos when he was appointed military governor by Obasanjo in 1977

He was the one that cleared Lagos bush and started building Lagos from scratch and he did it on his own single handedly as per your choice of topic and in your original post

I hear you.

That history teacher who told you this has his lecture hall under Onitsha head bridge opposite the open air office of the forner Senior Adviser to His Excellency Peter Obi, Governor of Anambra state.

He built Lagos state.
Ndubuisi Kanu is the modern father of Lagos State.
He laid the ground polan for a modern Lagos when the likes of Tinubu were preparing dust at Chicago.
Ndubuisi kanu served Lagos diligently and should be given his flowers.
The Father of Lagos: Ndubuisi Kanu
Stop hating..
