Majesty2: Someone should remind this drugee that Lagos was once a capital city of Nigeria before Tinubu entered school and was developed by the British.

Is it that most people on this thread forgot that Pre-Tinubu, Lagos the former Capital territory was abandoned by the Federal Government and completely focused on Abuja. Infrastructural decay, refuse dumps everywhere, traffic was unbearable pick pockets, roads like under bridge Oshodi to Mushin was blocked by guys selling electronics. The city was a complete shadow of itself.

Lagos hospitals was nothing to write about then, school where just rubish then . Truth been told this man refublished Lagos. |

GavelSlam: You should also thank Tinubu for bringing Airport, Seaport and building the third mainland bridge because these were not there when he became Governor, Infact no banks and oil companies were found in Lagos, no single Hotel...Tinubu became Governor and boom everything resurrected. 1 Like |

noblemuk: Then it's either you do not know much about Lagos or you are very young. I can mention too many privately owned schools aside from the missionary schools in Lagos State, before Tinubu. I must credit the return of missionary schools to Tinubu, because he returned them at his tenure. Cinemas? There were cinemas everywhere. There were Idera, Oregie, Pen cinema, National theater, Glover hall, etc , ages before Tinubu. Aside from the privately owned schools, Lagos State had its own Schools, Polytechnic and University, before Tinubu's tenure. I can mention the Federal/missionary owned schools to you. I was born and grew up in Lagos and I know Lagos completely. Lagos had health officials long before the war. There were wole wole, who ensured that surrounding areas were very clean. Refuse was properly disposed. Transportation was well developed in Lagos long before independence. Before Lagos State transport corporation, there were oluwoles. Before the Oluwoles, there were Marcopolos. There were molues and Kia Kia buses (danfos) emerged around 1970 or before. Tinubu only stopped molues from getting into Lagos Island following his own idea of a better city. Victoria Island/Ikoyi/Dolphin were largely residential. Broad Street, Idumota, etc, up to the present secretariat, Obalende and Keffi street in Ikoyi we're commercial areas. Lekki sprouted out from the destruction of Maroko, by the late Brig. Raji Rasaki in 1989, as the governor. Victoria Island annex was extended to cover the present Lekki Phase 1 as people started migrating there. Those who could not afford the property prices in V/I and Ikoyi started relocating there and further down. Tinubu had his own ideas of how Lagos should be further developed. He improved the healthcare system, especially LASUTH. Ayinke house was built and donated by the late Mobolaji Bank Anthony in memory of his mother. Tinubu created the bus rapid system and following the withholding of Lagos funds by Obasanjo, Tinubu developed the tax plan. I clearly how some companies that failed to pay excise duties, had their gates locked up until they paid. There are better s than him. Marwa and Ambode made Lagos liveable. Marwa particularly chased agberos away from Lagos, but they returned when Tinubu became the governor. Now even an agbero organised a rally in his favour in Lagos. Intellectuals attended the rally, jumping up and down. Baba Jakande brought the idea of a Lagos metroline. This same PMB, blocked it as a military president in 1984. Tinubu's popularity centers on his ability to give out money with ease. As far as I am concerned, there are three political moneybags in this country, namely: Atiku, Tinubu and Wike.Their resources make them who they politically are presently. Tinubu told a clear lie, but we will not overlook his own contributions in Lagos. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Oga Nothing was wrong with Lagos before you stepped in a governor... Everything you did in Lagos is for your own selfish ambition Everyone you claim you help how many are you well or did well. Everyone you helped once they refused to play according to your game you turned your back at them. E g Gov Ambode. Pls why can some Nigerians reason well Voting Tinubu is a bomb waiting to happen |

Cantonese:Nobody is saying Tinubu built Lagos from the scratch because Lagos was developed by first the colonial masters and the the Federal Government since it was the Federal capital territory but as soon as the FCT was moved to Abuja, Lagos was left to rot, we all ed how the city became a haven to Armed robbery,Pick pockets at Oshodi and Lagos Island, refuse dumps everywhere and infrastructural decay. We could not drive through Oshodi to Mushin because Under Bridge (Oshodi Isale was blocked by Market people and people selling electronics). Tinubu and his successors refurbished Lagos to what it is today. |

codemaniacs: How old are you, my pickin? Tinubu built Itire road? Sorry my son. Itire road existed ages ago in the history of Lagos. The palace of the Onitire has not changed in anyway. Infact the whole of Ijesha, traversing Itire to Mushin, have largely remained the same. Lawanson remains the same, except for the new buildings. Those filling stations in Lawanson have been there for more than 50 years. Nothing changed in Idi araba. All the roads were refurbished and keep getting refurbishments. Ijaiye road was always there. He made the new road. Obasanjo resurfaced Idi iroko to Sango in 1999, making it necessary for the then new government of Tinubu to fix Ijaiye road. Tinubu surfaced Ikotun-Igando road, but within the area of Igando, Ambode surfaced them all making them beautiful and habitable. Ambode fixed the whole Ikola to Sango. Go and see then today. What about the Oshodi interchange? Na Tinubu do am sef? On an IGR of N600m, Marwa gave a peaceful and prosperous. The exchange rate was N21.89 to the dollar. Today under your Tinubu and Buhari, it is N433 officially and N740 unofficially, a ruined economy and miserable citizens. Make your calculation and tell us the difference in real value. Ask your daddy his income in the 70s. Ask him whether it is not true that his 130 naira a month or 400 naira a month did not pay all his bills and give him joy. You could buy Coke in Lagos for 6 kobo then. Ask Tinubu and Buhari what happened to our economy. Presently you buy a bottle of coke for N200. On the face value, that was the salary in the period mentioned by you. In real presently, that's a bottle of coke. Tinubu ed a baba go slow to bring this nation to its knees. Now he claims emi lo kan, with a promise to continue Buhari's legacies. No be wahala be that? 3 Likes 1 Share |

I keep saying, if people are bragging and ing Tinubu based on what he did several years ago when he was young, it means we should go and resurrect the likes of Nnamdi Azikiwe, Obafemi Alowo and Ahmadu Bello to come and rule us in this 21st century as we just wan de backward for this country. Naso dem scam us with Buhari past legacy and now Nigeria has never been this backward still under same Buhari. Rubbish

Electorate: Tinubu opened the Lekki-Ajah axis from which several billionaires and millionaires have been made and that is not in dispute. The EPZ, the Lekki Seaport, Eko Atlantic are all examples of his vision. The developments in real estate found across Nigeria were predicated on Tinubu's formula. When you look at the likes of LASTMA, LIRS, LSAA, RRS, They not only bring sanity to the metropolis, they provide employment. Tell us what new age legacies your preferred candidates are responsible for. Market your candidate for a minute if you can. |

So the labour of Jakande,Marwa,Raji Rasaki, Otedola, and all the past head of state who ruled from Lagos as the capital of Nigeria is in vain. He actually had some tangible input in the economic growth of Lagos State. Unfortunately the output of the proceeds of this input accrued to himself alone, pale his total input into insignificant.

Cantonese: what comment in summary means you can't compare 2022 and the 1990s... Itire road was a terrible road filled with pot holes in the 90s.. most places in Ikeja that were not Alausa had very bad roads... service lanes on express roads were very bad, majority of inner streets had terrible roads and some are still terrible... What happened to our economy ![]() its not just Nigeria.. the global economy is affected... Igbos happened to our economy... Igbos are the ones who import the most... when imports are more than exports it leads to a trade deficit.. |

The last time I checked Lagos, Lagos was the capital of Nigeria before Abuja creation. I guess he lasted developing Lagos while in the womb. BAT must be a miracle working guru.

bakynes: When the capital was moved to Abuja, Lagos was left as the commercial capital and not to rot. Tinubu met a much safer Lagos, left by Buba Marwa. He met a Lagos free from agberos. He said that Lagos was a jungle before he became the governor. Does he want us to believe that his office on Tiamiyu Savage, V/I was a jungle area? Our political leaders must be circumspect with their words. We have gone past the age where we did not hold them able for their wicked acts on the citizens. At his tenure, Oshodi was a battle zone, with many touts and OPC reigning. Fashola cleared the mess to fix the area and Ambode made it what it has become today. We must not take overlook Buba Marwa's achievements in the calculation. Lagos was lucky to have great governors from the days of Mobolaji Johnson. We had Adekunle Lawal, Gbolahan Mudashiru, Ndubuisi Kanu, Comm Ebitu Ukiwe, Raji Rasaki, Olagunsoye Oyinlola, Mike Akhigbe, Michael Otedola (Femi Otedola's father), Buba Marwa. They all played their own parts, even with the accusations of embezzlement. 1 Like |

If not for this thief called Tinubu,Lagos would have been been a paradise comparable to UAE. This shameless man siphon Lagos wealth into private pocket. As small as the land mass.Lagos is yet to develop. Go to the hinterland, you will wonder whether Lagos was once the capital of Nigeria,just because of corrupt nature of one man. Anyway,his end has come 2023 when Obi will be declared the president of federal republic of Nigeria. |

codemaniacs: Grow up and stop this your "my papa tell me say...". Nobody talked about tribes, but about Lagos and it's development. Our discussion centers on Tinubu's claim that Lagos was a jungle before his istration. Igbos made your country's leadership fail? Igbos made your leadership fail to create jobs and establish industries? Igbos made your governments fail to provide electricity and security? Wake up and be wise. Poor leadership, poor nation. Corrupt leadership, miserable nation. Crooked politicians, divided nation. Ask me questions about how Lagos was before and after Tinubu. Yorubas/Igbos/Fulanis/Hausas, etc did not ruin the nation. Politicians of every tribe teamed up to ruin the nation. Nigeria was a far more peaceful and happy nation in the 1990s and before now. 1 Like 1 Share |

Lagos was a jungle can have many meanings and not that it was a forest and undeveloped.... Igbo leaders created a Unitary government ensured that the FG had control of security, electricity which are important for job creation and industry creation... so yes it's Igbos that started the ruin of the country... |

LadyExcellency: The plain truth. Infact I can two governors that performed better than Tinubu. 1. Alhaji Lateef Jakande ( very humble and patriotic.) He built low-cost houses for Lagosians. He was a good man. 2. Buba Marwa. This one I well. He changed Lagos. He rid Lagos of Agberos by introducing operation sweep....oh good times. Then came another governor that opened the gates for all Agberos, both the ones born in Lagos and a lot from Ibadan (that now claim Lagos as their state) into the streets of Lagos. Now at almost all junctions in Lagos are young lads looking to harass the citizens for money and all..... |

GavelSlam: Tinubu didn't open Lekki-Ajah axis and Free Trade Zone in Ibeju-Lekki local government. My parents move to Ajah in 1995. Enough with the lies. And he got no formaula for estae boom in Lagos. Get it into your brain, Lagos was a commercial hub of Nigeria way before Tinubu became a Governor. The only notable thing he did was to expand tax collection and releasing mayhem on the citizen of Lagosain by bringing back tout in our bus stop thereby increasing cost of transportation. So please stop the lies. Some of us grew up here and saw what he did. Oshodi got his highest notoriety under his istration, same as crime leading the arrival of OPC snuffing out people life without trials by competent court. Even in transportation, some of you think it the likes of Fashola that brought Mass Transit like Macopolo and the like. Before Tinubu and his stooges there were Macopolo and Coaster Buses (New ones) moving round Lagos. As for Lekki Free Trade Zone if the like of Jakande have not open that part of the world I don't think Tinubu will have the idea of creating a business hub there. By the way. Everyone keep saying Tinubu brought Fashola and co who built on his legacies, can we also say same thing for Maruwa that Maruwa created a condusive environment for Tinubu to work on? Thereby it was Maruwa lagacies for a better Lagos that Tinubu is building on. Come on guys, enough of the lies that Tinubu built Lagos , it no longer funny. Actually among the governors that did well in Lagos, Tinubu is one of the least. Nigeria just got democracy then and all investors were investing in Lagos cos it was a commercial hub of Nigeria. It has not to do with Tinubu, he didn't woo those investors to Lagos, Lagos was alread a big market before he was born. All he did was to create agencies to collect tax and steal properties for himself. 1 Like 1 Share |
