Maadoo,

I saw the picture of Lagos in 1910 that you dug out and compared it to Lagos of 2010, I think.

Could you please show us the picture of your village around the same time. Just curious if they were clothed then.

Nigerian Ports Authority is a partnership formed in 1955 between Federal Government of Nigeria and Lagos.

As far back as 1906 Lagos Wharf had been opened to Ocean steamers with regular demand.

The development of Apapa port (not Lagos Wharf) commenced in 1913.

Lagos Wharf is the Marina bus stand on the waterfront where Customs Street runs into the Marina. It used to be called Quay side....(pronounced Key side).

Discovery of coal in Enugu led to the development of Eastern ports.

Port Harcout port was opened in 1913 to shipping and commissione by Lugard.

Read it here....

All your post shows is that God created the waterside and coastlines

The British built the ports in the 1850s to accommodate their large vessels which they used to ship resources from the hinterland to their country.

Yorubas have not built any port till date shocked

I even thought you were smart. In trying to dismiss the effort of those developing Lagos, you also didn't or couldn't prove that yorubas developed Lagos.

Who were the ruling elites before independence at the federal level and in Lagos? The colonial masters. Hence they employed the manpower from all tribes to which igbos were heavily represented. Resources were contribute by all region to the federal purse, and of-course, Lagos was the capital of Nigeria and as a British colony, enjoyed unlimited developmental attention.

Even at that, In 1954, there was no lekki, there was no Gbagada, there was no Ajao estate, there was no Ajah, there was no Amuwo odofin, there was no Ago palace way, there was no gowon estate, there was no Buckner in Okota. There are so many places not that we’re never there. Was it the white man that developed it? The Lagos the white man left at independence is not the same as what it is today except you mean, Lagos hasn’t change since the Whitman left. The real developers of Lagos aside government projects, are the individual real estate developer, converting slums, farmland and settlements to prime real estate quaters, either for commercial or residential use. The industrialist, company Onwers, market man and women keeping the economy running and of course oil money from niger delta oiling there pocket of the government, which it uses to support for roads, water, electricity Development and other amenities.

Nigeria had her independence in 1960 and oil boom started in 1970. Cocoa money only developed Ibadan. Third mainland bridge was oil money, cocoa money started OAU in ibadan before moving to its permanent site in Ile ife with A single building serving as the vice chancellors building but now converted to faculty of agriculture. That was the only building constructed with cocoa money. The rest was oil money. 3rd mainland bridge is oil money.

The East was controlled by the Eastern tribes with Enugu as it’s capital, West by majorly the yorubas with Ibadan as it’s capital. The same way igbos migrated to Lagos is the same way majority yorubas migrated to Lagos.

If you want to talk of Yoruba development. Talk of Ibadan and stop trying to steal or downplay other people’s effort.

Ibadan is your shame, deal with it .

Remove that last line then you nailed it........
now make i see who go dispute this fact....... grin

You relied on the colonial regime to make this statement. Before there was colonial regime there was Oba of Lagos regime and under that sovereingty Lagos had ports.

British expanded on port facilities but Yoruba had operated ports and traded internationally ahead of the 1900 dates you are splashing.
