Demolakay: Quit lieing nd research. why will u say d 97percent of wat is nw Lagos was under western region managed by Awolowo?
D colony of Lagos, was under d jurisdiction of d colonial masters. Infact it was given preference above all Oda states because while d colonialist ruled, dey divided wat is NW Nigeria into 3. Southern protectorate, northern protectorate,ND d colony of Lagos.
In 1914 wen d north nd southern protectorate was merge wit d colony of Lagos, Lagos was made d administrative capital. Wat d colonialist did was to create a kind of hybrid apartheid structure,where dey occupied d highbrow areas, Ikoyi,victoria island, Highland Lagos to demselves, dey restrict Nigerians to d mainland ND Oda places.
D western region capital under Awolowo was Ibadan.Dat is why u will discover DAT cocoa house was in Ibadan,first stadium,first television station,First university etc.
Awolowo didn't contribute to d development of Lagos. Lagos was built by d Colonialist nd successive federal governments.
Lokoja, Calabar were only capital for few years. Lagos enjoyed d Capital status for more Dan 77 years! Soo spot d difference, nd deduce d one dat will enjoy more infrastructure wise among d 3.
Bobo na Bobo!!! I hail you o! You Sabi history book well well......
Infact you Sabi Lagos pass those wey dey there.
The Old Western Region with it's capital in Ibadan starts from Lagos Mainland. Most of the white colonialist resided on the Onikan side of Lagos Island and Ikoyi. They didn't even venture into VI.
Colony of Lagos did not move beyond the Island. The other parts of Lagos were under "Protectorates" just like you said.
Development came to other parts of Lagos as a matter of necessity, due to the relocation of people from Lagos Island to Ebute Metta, Surulere etc and rural urban migration after independence.
Let me inform you that back in the days (colonial era) should a theif rob on the Island and escaped to the mainland the colonial police will not pursue the theif more than the Old Carter Bridge, but would rather lodge a report with the Old Western Regional Police.
babaolofin: I have been asked to ignore the IBOS on Tinubu matters by my Northerner friends having read what I wrote today on Alpha Beta Consultancy issues in Lagos.
Lagos was a capital under a divided national infrastructural development system. No master plan, no developmental plan. Capital was in Lagos but development agenda controlled outside Lagos.
Under Abacha regime, Lagos was Caracas of a city, a glorified village. Many companies relocated out of Lagos. We left Lagos for Abuja during this period. In Abuja, the IBOS were excited. They said there is nothing left in Lagos again. I always argue with them. Daniel KANU, Lady Daisy and others were controlling Abuja in their own way while Useni was FCT minister. Abdukareem Adisa was the Works Minister, he hated Lagos with passion. He said he is not the minister for Lagos affairs. Lagos was dying and bleeding seriously.
Democracy came, Obasanjo said Lagos is a Jungle and no sane human being lives in jungle. Tinubu faced the development of Lagos with courage laying down foundation for Fashola to build upon. Ambode tried but created serious sewage and waste disposal problems which made 80% of the drainage system in Lagos to collapse till date. Disappointedly, Sanwoolu / Hamzat have not done anything to clear and repair the sewage system which is making Lagos to stink.
Obasanjo that called Lagos a jungle while in power (1st tenure) had since given credit to progress made so far in Lagos.
There are so many things Tinubu put in place that made people relocated to Lagos.
IfnobeGod20: Please when I talk I don't talk from the moon. I talk what I know. Before the advent of Amotekun, TRACE was a security arm of the state for combating various aspect of crime and criminality in the state at different levels. I purposely put SO-SAFE because anytime the state government want to have any security meeting, SO-SAFE is always in attendance. If you think I am lying make an enquiry into this. The state government has so done it that every security network in Ogun state is so knitted and formidable, including SO-SAFE. If a state with such formidable team of security architecture can still thought it wise to establish Amotekun as to complement the already established security network what stop Lagos from doing the same. Remember the issue of security you can never say you do enough because crime and criminality are evolving every day with different tactics. Or can you safely tell me and the world that insecurity has been tamed in Lagos? In a more sense the state still need more security men and women because of water bodies that surrounds the state, meaning they need more amphibia Amotekun because as it were no security agency has such in abundant.
I like your kind, not too engross in politics but engage in discourse to learn. But truth be said, there's no reason Lagos should not have Amotekun because Lagos is still facing a lot of insecurity which conventional security agencies cannot solve enough and need complementary state security agency that will know the terrain.
No!
TRACE means Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Corps it's a replication of LASTMA in Ogun State created during Ibikunle Amosun's administration with enabling laws by the House of Assembly.
SO SAFE like I told you was also created during his tenure to take care of community policing. I live in both Lagos and Ogun State alternatively depending on my schedule. we engaged So Safe in my estate in Ogun State, and I know their modus operadi.
Please check these organizations out online. They were all copied from the Lagos model. If you can recall, Lagos was given the mega-city status and Ogun state was co-opted as partners in progress and given the industrial gateway status.
I still maintain that Lagos has the best security architecture. All the security outfits are well complemented by emergency numbers that you can call to report incidence as they happen. They even have Emergency Response Teams.
To assert that Lagos is well policed, how many times have you heard about armed robbery incidence unlike back in the days before RRS and Co.
Even kidnappers who tried kidnapping school children during Ambode's administration were nabbed effectively and measures put in place prevent similar occurrences in Lagos Schools.
Lagos is trying in terms of security, I didn't even mention OPMESA joint military security outfit.
Like I said because other states are doing it is not enough conviction for Lagos.
Let me chip this in, RRS operations is funded by the private sector in Lagos through the Lagos State Security Trust Fund, that's why they do not lack any equipment required for security operations and corporate organizations in Lagos don't expect anything less.
Go to most of the Police Stations that were burnt during the Endsars protest, they have been reconstructed.
Thinkam: , even in 1960 Lagos beats all these states hands down, A colonial and federal capital for almost 100 years, how can you compare, if no be yahoo yahoo you wan do Nigerians..
Tinubu, the man Batist are saying he's going to turn every state in Nigeria to be like Lagos.
I wonder if he's going to create a seaport, airport, add millions of population to every state in Nigeria and tax them for breathing, and mandate every conglomerate to erect offices in all states in Nigeria and pay tax there.
If he's not going to do that then, that's a scam
Please Tinubu supporters Tell me how Tinubu will make every state in Nigeria like Lagos as president, please help me understand...
Have you ever heard the word "Grassroots Politics"
Onboarding every member of your Political Party to be among, feel among. That's what makes BAT the darling of the people in Lagos.
I will not expantiate further.......
No Governor has been able to do it or implement it in their respective states. The only person close is James Ibori of Delta State.
If politicians can adopt the grassroots strategy Nigeria go better for all.
IfnobeGod20: Not until he verbally say he doesn't want it before we know. Oyibo people says, action speaks louder than words. The whole south west governors planned to establish the security outfit, while the rest states did theirs, only Lagos didn't do anything just because somebody is trying to protect his political ambition. You even claim ignorantly that there is no need for Lagos having Amotekun because it already has RSS. Let me tell you if you don't know, Ogun state already has TRACE and SO-SAFE while Oyo has Operation Burst but they still went ahead to establish Amotekun. The problem of Tinubu is that he doesn't want to offend the Hausas and Fulanis at the detriment of his people. Still fresh on reasonable Yorubas, when daughter of Pa Fasoranti was killed by Fulani, the next Tinubu will say is why profiling a tribe or where are the cows? But thankfully, the people that committed that heinous act are the same fulanis he wanted to protect. Till date he has not ask for forgiveness for saying such his people. We still remember how he worked against Mulikat to becoming Speaker of the House of Reps but instead mobilized and supported Tambuwal against his Yoruba person. We also know how he play down the agitation for Yoruba nation, just because of his presidential ambition against his Yoruba nation. Many atrocities he has done against Yoruba nation can not be forgotten in hurry.
You don't even have a good knowledge of what TRACE and So Safe are meant for in Ogun State. TRACE is for traffic management on the high ways that transverse Ogun State just like LASTMA in Lagos, while So-Safe is the Neighborhood watch meant for Communities in Ogun State (they are not empowered to go into the forest).
Amotekun is mandated to patrol the deep forest and not the cities and towns.
Lagos already commits a humongous amount of funds to various Police Zones, RRS, LSNC, LASTMA and these security groups are well equipped to tackle any security challenge.
There is no need for Amotekun, it will amount to waste of funds, if I may ask you, where is the forest they will patrol in Lagos? unlike Ogun, Oyo, Osun and the rest with large expanse of jungles.
On several occasions Lagos State has deployed men and resources including heavy equipment from Lagos State Emergency Service and it's Fire Service to deal with situations along the Lagos Ibadan express way.
I know for sure that Lagos can not go the way of Amotekun because there is no need for such.
On politics, I have come to learn there is no permanent friend or permanent enemy in politics.
PeterObi4LP: Lagos was the capital of Nigeria for over 50yrs. So Tinubu did not build Lagos. He only add his own quota just like others before and after him did.
No! No!! No!!!
Lagos Island, Ikoyi and Victoria Island were the Capital of Nigeria back in the days.
From Lagos Mainland, Ebute Metta, Yaba, Mushin, Surulere, Palm Groove, Ikorodu, Epe, Badagry, Ikorodu and others were part of the Old Western Region and later Lagos State with Ikeja as capital.
Development came to other parts of Lagos out of necessity. People who were moved from their ancestral lands in Lagos Island, Victoria Island and Ikoyi to these other areas. In addition with ever increasing rural urban migration which has continued till today.
That's why you see government public housing estates in Surulere and well lined roads in Ebute Metta, Yaba, Ikorodu Road etc.
Bstoodo: Tinubu single-handedly jeopardized the formation of amotekun in Lagos & reduced their influence in Osun bcs he didn’t want to offend the Fulani’s at our detriment. This is a man ready to sacrifice the entire Yoruba land for his ambition. Tinubu ti lule
When Fulani herdsmen killed Pa Fasoranti’s daughter in Ondo. Tinubu went there to defend the killers by asking “where are the cows”. Tinubu represents the worst of us as Yoruba’s.
Tinubu has never supported any Yoruba cause unless he stands to gain from it.
He is a Scam. He is only there to satisfy his unquenchable greed. He frustrated our security architecture (amotekun) in the SW bcs he wanted to be “presdent”. We will treat him like the omo ale he is come 2023.
Stop it you are liar!!!
How did he stop Lagos. Lagos already has a formidable security architecture on ground i.e. All the Divisional Police Stations, RRS and Neighborhood Watch. So there was no need for Amotekun in Lagos, mind you herds men were banned in Lagos several years ago by his administration.
Do you know where they called Malu Road back in the days, if you don't know that's the Mobil Road leading to Boundary in Agegunle. It used to be the center of cow market in Lagos.
The killers of PA Fasoranti's daughter are facing the music of their actions.
It was a cheering news some days ago in the Catholic Church, especially the Awka Diocese when the announcement was made that Bishop Peter Okpaleke, who was rejected by the Ahiara Diocese in Mbaise, Imo State, was named the Bishop of the new Diocese of Ekwulobia in Anambra State, Ekwulobia Diocese and was subsequently made a Cardinal by the POPE.
To many Catholics, it was a big relief for the amiable Bishop Okpaleke who, in spite of what he passed through in Ahiara Diocese, remained focused in the service of God for the past eight years.
Okpaleke, who hails from Amesi in Aguata local government area of Anambra State, was to succeed the late Bishop Anthony Chikwe in Ahiara, but the people of Mbaise insisted on having an indigene as their local government. For five years, Bishop Okpaleke never stepped foot on his Cathedral and only remained Bishop of the Diocese in name.
All these IPOB states and indigines hate each other like shit.
That's why they witch-hunt each other, they don't employ their brothers in their various public services, they carry am so tey dem dey reject Bishop.
They don't have a rallying point or leader.
They don't know whether to go for Biafra or one Nigeria or for Peter Obi.
IfnobeGod20: Please find time and seat down or look for someone that in government and get together his personal achievements instead of hyper hyping him with Fashola and Ambode achievements. If Fashola is contesting, will he also be claiming Fashola achievements? A man that govern a state and never built a single flyover for 8 years but you guys will turnaround to tell us is the architect of Lagos why Jakande and Marwa did nothing.
Oga, please help yourself. It will do you a lot of good. I will not hold brief for any past Governor. Just try and carry out a little search online.
IfnobeGod20: Oh! you're still not doing the needful. What were the achievements of Tinubu between 1999-2007. I don't need all this story. Reel out his achievements when he served the state. Why you guys like story? Just state what he was able to achieve with his 8 years of reign. That's it.
You don't need to be spoon fed.
You can research that on your own.
The information you require is online just as that of other Lagos Governors.
IfnobeGod20: Till date you guys has not brought out what Tinubu did during his tenure all what you guys has been showcasing are the achievements of Fashola and Ambode and his exploit in tax collection in Lagos. You guys need to put together his achievements and let us compare notes. At least we know he serves from 1999-2007. What are his personal achievements not the excellent records of Fashola and Ambode.
Where are you from? You better start from what did Lateef Jakande do for Lagos?
Doldago: Two men were governors, Bola Tinubu in Lagos and Peter Obi in Anambra. Below are details of what they collect from their states as tithes after leaving office
Towards the end of their second term, BAT in Lagos sent his retirement bill and got his House of Assembly to approve what you see below as his yearly pension;
1. 300% annual salary as severance package as approved by RMAFAC. 2. 100% of annual basic salary of incumbent gov as salary for LIFE even after leaving office. 3. Six new cars every 3 years 4. A new house in Lagos, minimum 5 bedroom 5. A new house in Abuja or any other location, minimum 5 bedroom 6. Free medical care for him and members of his family for life. 7. Entitled to cooks, stewards,...Gardners, and domestic staffs, all pensionable. 8. 300% of his annual basic salary as governor every 2 years as furniture allowance 9. 100% of annual basic salary as governor as his house maintenance allowance 10. Two DSS officers, 1 female officer for his wife and eight policemen to guard him. 11. 25% of his annual basic salary for personal assistants. 12. 30% of his annual basic salary for car maintenance . 13. 20% of his annual basic salary as utilities maintenance. 14. Pensionable drivers, no limits to the number.
This is apart from what Bola TINUBU gets as a percentage of collections from Alpha Beta for tax collections for Lagos State and the total control he has over the governor and the treasury. No wonder he boasted in 2018 of being richer than the whole of Osun state.
But see what Peter Obi collects from Anambra State since leaving office as governor: 1. No gratuity 2. No pensions 3. No houses 4. No cars 5. No allowances of any kind 6. No maintenances of any kind. 7. No PA's paid by the state. 8. No domestic staffs paid by the state. 9. No aids sponsored by the state. 10. No Shi Shi from the state not even pure water He's still using his personal money to pay school fees for some children of the poor till date.
Now the two men want to be president.
So choose whom you know today means well for Nigeria and who will serve the people selflessly.
The two men
One still dey reign for Lagos since 2007, the other was chased away by the people he governed in Anambra.
If you know, you know!!! you gerit, if you don't gerit forget about it
Please my people carefully read what Mr. Femi Falana (SAN) said.
He said it was the responsibility of the Local Government Council to collect parking levy or fees based on the sections of the 1999 Constitution be cited.
[quote author=Freethinker87 post=116131975]Even in the most advanced civilizations in the world, there are legal street parkings. How's the Op-ed photo attached obstructing traffic in any way?
Make una try travel comot for Nigeria sef make una eye open small. Village men. [/quote
This is not a busy street, there are nobody on the street. This is within an estate. I am very sure if it was a business district, no sane government or administration would let parking be done like this.
Oga, I have travelled out and they don't park their cars on the streets and go and watch movies like we do here. (Can you fantom going to ShopRite in Ikeja or VI and parking your car on the street adjacent on a work day?).
Business outfit such as Silverbird made judgemental error by not providing for parking space in the design of the VI galleria.
You may not remember, but years ago people in Lagos would put chairs and canopy on Lagos streets with reckless and block streets but the government had to ban such.
The number of people and vehicles on streets of Lagos keeps increasing everyday and it not going to stop. There is traffic bottlenecks everywhere. So let people park their cars within their compound so that we can get to our destinations on time devoid of traffic gridlocks.
Time na money!!! We don't need to be wasting man- hours and scarce resources in the traffic everyday of our lives.
Let the us be proactive futuristic in our thinking.
LASG has started taxing vehicles parked outside perimeter fence. This means that, vehicles parked outside silverbird cinimas, small stores or houses without parking lots will be taxed.
Welcome to Tinubu's Lagos. Alpha Beta expanding the tax net the Tinubu way.
So if you go to Silverbird Cinemas to enjoy yourself or shop, other road users should bear the brunt of your indiscriminate parking.
Why not tell Silverbird and others to provide adequate parking for you customers. Most of these business owners/ shopping malls will build up their parcel of land without considering provision for parking spaces.
Lagos is just waking up! Mind you the drains and the roads are government properties, thats why we don't do parties on the road again just like back in the days ( it gave birth to event centres).
So look on bright side where our roads will be free of gridlock caused by indiscriminate parking on the roads just like the tanker trailers do.
You can go into the business of parking cars of the road (I bet you this will create businesses and jobs like multi level parking facilities all around Lagos).
jamace: All I have to say is that Peter Obi performed better than Bola Tinubu as governor. Here are my points:
PETER OBI ACHIEVEMENTS
Under Peter Obi, Anambra was the first State to commence Sub-Sovereign Wealth savings, the first of its kind in Sub-Saharan Africa.
At a time many other Governors were leaving huge debts, Peter Obi left the equivalent of $500 million Dollars in investment as well as local and foreign currency, including $156 million in Dollar-denominated bonds.
Under Peter Obi, For the first time in the history of Anambra State, Ambassadors and High Commissioners of notable countries such as United States, Britain, Russia, European Union, South Africa, Belgium, Israel, the Netherlands, Canada, among others, visited the State. Before Peter Obi tenure, Anambra was practically a pariah state blacklisted by the Diplomatic Corps and international development partners. Development partners such as UNDP, UNICEF, the World Bank, DFID, the European Union etc., which hitherto were not in Anambra State started working with the State.
Anambra was consistently adjudged one of the best states in development partnership and commitment to reforms for good governance.
Peter Obi was recognised as Best Governor by the Millennium Development Goals Office (OSSAP-MDGs) and the UNDP in the implementation of their programmes in Nigeria.
Under him, Dr. Magnus Kpakol of NAPEP said Anambra was the No 1 in terms of reduction in poverty.
The Nigerian Debt Management Office (DMO) rated Anambra as the least indebted state in Nigeria. In spite of visible and measurable achievements recorded in various sectors, the State under Peter Obi did not borrow or raise bonds for her various projects.
Under Peter Obi, the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria rated Anambra State as the most financially stable state in the country.
Peter Obi ground-breaking return of schools to their original owners – Voluntary Agencies (Churches) on 1st January 2009, and subsequent partnership with the Agencies in Education, saw the State move from 24th position out of 36 States to Number One in National Examination Council (NECO) and West African Examination Council (WAEC) examinations for three consecutive years. This made the World Bank to commission a study, led by the renowned Prof. Paul Collier of Oxford University, on this revolutionary partnership and phenomenal achievement.
Peter Obi also entered into strategic partnership with the Churches in the Health sector. This symbiotic relationship resulted in a tremendous boost to health care because of the services offered by health institutions owned by Voluntary Agencies, while the State restored grants to the agencies and made available to them more than 50 million Dollars in various types of support.
Through partnership with the Church in the Health sector, Peter Obi Government funded the transformation of -: a: Iyienu Hospital, Ogidi;
b: Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Ihiala;
c: St Charles Borromeo Hospital, Onitsha;
d: Holy Rosary Hospital, Waterside, Onitsha; and
e: St. Joseph Hospital, Adazi-Nnukwu.
His Government also built the Joseph Nwilo Heart Centre in St. Joseph, Adazi-Nnukwu, where heart operations are now being performed.
His Government won the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (1 Million dollars) as the best-performing state in immunisation in the South-East. With complementary funding from our Government, they used the money to build 10 Maternal and Child Care Centres across the State, particularly in rural communities, in partnership with the Churches.
During Peter Obi tenure, The State was the first to procure and distribute more than 30,000 computers to secondary schools, including 22,500 from HP. The Managing Director for Personal Systems Group HP Inc, Mr. FabriceCampoy described the deployment as the biggest of such projects in the Middle-East and Africa.
Anambra State Government provided Microsoft Academies to more than 500 secondary schools, which the Head of Microsoft in Nigeria (Mr. Ken Span) described as the biggest such deployment in Africa so far.
The State provided Internet access to more than 500 secondary schools, which the CEO of Galaxy Backbone (Mr. Gerald Ilukwe) characterized as incomparable to any in the country.
Peter Obi's government provided More than 700 buses to secondary schools in the State.
Boreholes were provided in schools all over the State.
Numerous classrooms were built in all the 177 communities of the State.
As part of the efforts to turn around the economy of the State, Peter Obi attracted a number of companies to build their facilities in the Anambra State. A case in point is SABMiller, the 2nd largest brewery in the world, which built their first Green Field facility in the State, which is today one of the most successful facilities they operate globally.
A number of other companies followed the SABMiller initiative and were all supported and encouraged under Peter Obi Government; a good example is INNOSON Motor Manufacturing Company, from which our government bought more than 1,000 vehicles.
Anambra State for the first time started close collaboration with recognized government security agencies (the Police, Army, Navy, Department of State Security, Civil Defence, among others), offering them various types of support including provision of more than 500 security vehicles. The improvement in security was phenomenal, such that the former IG of Police (Abubakar Mohammed) lauded Anambra State for not witnessing any bank robbery in my last three years in office.
To further enhance security, Anambra State provided at least one security vehicle to each of all the 177 communities in the State as well as various organizations such as markets and Churches.
His Administration conceived and built, from scratch, the first state-owned Teaching Hospital, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu teaching Hospital, Awka.
His Government commenced the planned development of the Igbariam Campus of the ChukwuemekaOdumegwu-Ojukwu University, including the fencing, construction of internal roads, electrification, construction of the Faculty of Law, Auditorium, Administrative Block, Faculty of Agriculture, Management Building, among others).
His Government attracted the World Bank support on erosion – National Erosion and Watershed Management Project (NEWMAP) – to Anambra State.
His Government was the first to do Poverty Mapping in Nigeria, as a guide for the effective implementation of our poverty-alleviation strategies. His Government, for the first time, undertook the aerial mapping of Awka as well as the production of Structure Plans for Awka Capital Territory, Onitsha and Nnewi.
During Peter Obi tenure and with his Government’s support, Anambra State became an oil producing State.
He built the first Secretariat Complex to house State Government Ministries that were hitherto scattered around the State.
His government commenced the development of the ‘Three Arms Zone’ comprising Government House/Governor’s Lodge, Legislative Building/Speakers Residence, and Judiciary Building with Chief Judge’s Residence.
By the end of Peter Obi tenure in 2014, more than twelve (12) health institutions, including two hospitals, had secured accreditation; when he took off in 2006, no health institution in Anambra State was duly accredited.
Anambra State was the first to undergo national peer review, which scrutinised State Governments for good governance, through the State Peer Review Mechanism (SPRM), an initiative of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum in collaboration with the DFID.
GO AND VERIFY!
If Peter Obi was this good?
But why did Anambra people chase him out of APGA after 8 years as Governor, they did not allow him to sustain these developments, rather gave their mandate to Wilky Obiano for 8 years. Obi had to go to PDP again.
We keep missing the point as people and as politicians. Governace is about wealth creation and creating institutions to manage the the wealth.
From the list of what he did, where are the institutions that continued with his lagacies?
Iraloren: Any body that said to you that Tinubu build Lagos is an illiterate. Lagos State was a capital of Nigeria for 77yrs, most of development was concentrated in Lagos than any state, all the foreign embassies and companies was there, The only functional seaport and International Airport has being there even before Tinubu becomes Governor. The Lagos allocation is double or triple that of Anambra State. The whole 8yrs of Tinubu as a Governor he did not build anything new , he only pointing fingers to achievements of his successors and federal government. Abuja is just 30yrs what other state aside Lagos you can compare in terms of infrastructures.
Lagos Island and parts of Victoria Island and Ikoyi was the capital of Nigeria and not the entire State. From Lagos mainland, Ikeja, Mushin, Ikorodu, Epe, Lekki, Badagry and the rest were part of the old Western Region and later Lagos State with Ikeja as capital. The entire Lagos was not the capital of Nigeria.
Development came to other areas of Lagos, such as Ebute Metta, Surulere, when people were moved from Lagos Island, Victoria Island and Ikoyi to these areas (that's why you see well built estates in Surulere, well laid out roads in Ebute Metta, Yaba etc.
MMA is not the only functional international airport back in the days. Kano and Port Harcourt had International Airports.
Note other seaports existed such as in Calabar, Onne, Port Harcourt and Warri.
The first thing Tinubu administration did was to grow the IGR back then. His administration deployed technology.
CheapHomes1: I wont lecture you but i can help you see the light. all you have written are the familiar crap that is usually recycled to packaging tinubu. the problem is that you guys dont ask questions as to whether what you are recycling is truth or lies. lets look at your points one after the other.
when you boast that tinubu created 37LCDAs, the question you should help us answer is what positive impact have these 37 LCDAs had on the lives of lagosians? or is it just to create LCDAs that is the achievement?
Lagos state was never denied federal allocation by FG under obasanjo. LAgos state was denied local government allocation. by now you should know that.
this eko atlantic, how many lagosians can afford to live on eko atlantic?
LFTZ wasnt conceived by Tinubu. it was conceived and initiated by Tolaram group, the company building and managing it.
So there was operation sweep put in place by Buba Marwa. Tinubu came and sustained it and it has private sector funding. so what do we do? should we go to church for thanksgiving?
See below the picture of LASTMA that you say Tinubu created.
How did Tinubu open up Lekki corridor for housing development?
who did tinubu expand lekki expressway for? who manages lekki expressway and who owns the company in charge of the expressway?
how does conducting a referendum equate being an achievement?
these are quite mediocre to be called achievements.
My brother go and get educated.
You don't even know what a Referendum is and how it led to LCDA creation. I can see that you don't even know what the 1999 Constitution says about Local Government creation, governance and administration. You don't even know how LGAs affects the local populace.
The Lekki Phase One and Two were the flagship estate that opened up the Lekki axis.
It's either you were too young when all these were happening back then.
You are not versed in this area of discussion. Abeg keep quiet.
Freethinker87: Bla bla bla. I didn't read it. I'm busy abeg.
No be fight now!
If you don't read, how do you learn?
Okay now you are busy, continue in your ignorance but please stop your mis-information.
Go back to school and read the political and governace history of Lagos.
For your information, I major in Business Administration and Human Resource and I bet that you don't know anything about political governance history and it's comparative analysis on various administration in Lagos.
Freethinker87: *Taxing hawkers, petty traders, cart pushers and people living below the poverty line is not revolutionary. It's regressive actually.
*FG did not seize Lagos state allocation. Tinubu received state allocation in full for 8 years. Only Local Govt allocation was withheld because Tinubu created additional 37 LCDAs unconstitutionally and demanded additional funding from the FG.
*Operation sweep had nothing to do with Tinubu, it was a FG initiative instituted long before Tinubu became Governor. I think you were born after 2000 cos you're giving ignorant coconut head Gen Z vibes.
*Every other thing you mentioned is a lie and cosmetic governance. He didn't fix bar beach, eko Atlantic, lekki exp. way, or developed the Lekki FTZ. Fashola did.
*Those LATSMA and agencies he created was to fix his agbero boys before he left office. We can all see the nuisance they are on our roads. He also fixed them in Local Govt too.
You're one persistent agbadorian with an empty head and ferocious fingertips. FOH I'm certain you haven't lived in Lagos before.
I can't believe that you have refused to learn. You are just blabbing rubbish.
Omo, I can see that you have missed it completely, simple tax that you pay, you don't know how it's spent.
Your education and comprehension of governance is shallow. You language has given you out as someone who lacks brains to comprehend simple information available to everyone. You don't have cogent information about this topic.
For your information, I was born and bred in Lagos, schooled up to B.Sc and MBA at the University close to the lagoon in Akoka, Lagos and I work in Lagos.
Common political and governace history of Lagos from 1999 to date you don't even know because you have refused to read and learn. You keep distorting facts.
Your information has shown you were not born in Lagos nor know anything about what has transpired from 1999 to date.
The ignorance you have displayed is legendary and outstanding....... your kind of person leave more to be desired. Please don't go out there and be spewing this misinformation on the youth out there.
In addition, I am ashamed that you are a Lagosian, please where did you come from and what part of Lagos did you come from. Lagos is not your state.
Like I said earlier I am not holding brief for any politician but Tinubu's achievement stands him out.
