Too much enjoyment that year that year


Miami of 9jeria

Lagos hs grown for the better. Haters can eat their hearts out or relocate if dem no like am.

RuudVanNisteroy:

You are showing how the richest 1% live in Lagos. This is not a reflection of the reality of most of the inhabitants.

You are a fraudster. The ones you showed at the beginning of the thread, how many % of Lagos was that? You are a useless fellow with an agenda to demarket Lagos for political reasons but you will always fail you jobless cu..nt

heykims:

....simply because it wasn't overpopulated not that the leaders then had more sophisticated brain.

You've said it all.

NaijaRoyalty:
No agbero , No danfo, No okada, No Tinubu, Sane Lagos back in the day .

Everything well organised till Tinubu came and destroyed the No man's land .


Can we please go back to the old Lagos ?

There were no agberos. The Yoruba,Ijaws,Igbos,Hausa etc worked together in harmony to develop Lagos. The politicians then started using tribalism to pit tribes against each other.

Instead of you guys to come up with topics like : how to organize massive protest to fight corruption and nepotism in this country, you are here with pictures of old and new Lagos state. As if this will help anyone. Hate speech is now 5mila just to stifle the youths into submission yet nobody even said anything, here you guys are arguing over irrelevant topic. Op you need to receive sense.

Picture 1 was the old Carter Bridge. It was around before the independence; it was even around before the amalgamation of Southern regions. It was destroyed and rebuilt after independence though.
Ikorodu Road in that picture itself was around before independence. So majority of the picture you have there were the handwork of the Yorubas even though it isn't Asiwaju Tinubu. But it's the effort of the Yorubas all the same.
Check this thread for more nice picture of Lagos in the 1850 upward:

https://www.nairaland.com/what-lagos-environs-looked-like
So you may have to shake yourself outta that entitlement feeling that you develop Lagos because long before being the capital, Lagos had gotten good infrastructures of that time. We can even argue that the amalgamation of the nation did its progress a lot of havoc.
By the way, Lagos is still developing its infrastructure vigorously. The problem it's facing is over population because the landmass is obviously too little for the lot it contained hence the reason why many of these facelifts are seriously overwhelmed.

Why doesn't it still have portable water,good network,poor transportation network and hospitals that can't attend to it's leaders-why must your leaders fly to England, if it is developing vigorously. Is development only on the pages of newspapers?

Calm down brah!Rule number 2-watch your language.

Lagos the pride of Nigeria

RuudVanNisteroy:

Calm down brah!Rule number 2-watch your language.

I will always call you out for the fraudster that you are. You opened this thread with malicious intent to incite your fellow Igbos and other gullibles against the Yorubas that refused to allow Lagos to die inspite of its numerous challenges since it ceased to be the FCT. I have showed pictures of areas of Lagos that weren't even in existence when the areas in the pictures you posted were snapped. You will never acknowledge any positive developments in Lagos because that'd go against your evil agenda to demarket the state and Yorubas in general, but your efforts will always fail.

RuudVanNisteroy:

Calm down brah!Rule number 2-watch your language.

Olofo leave Lagos alone and let yorubas worry about Lagos. Go and worry about your landlocked states and leave Lagos alone okay

RuudVanNisteroy:
Pictures of Lagos when it was the Nations capital.

Technically, Lagos is still the Nations capital.

RuudVanNisteroy:
Lagos was more organized,developed and more well governed back then.

this should be broad street in Marina. This church still dey oooooo. somewhere around tinubu square.

Careful, bro. Check back what I wrote without emotion this time: the infrastructures get overwhelmed because of the number of population feeding on them. And of course, that doesn't mean it's not developing more infrastructures. More bridges had been built (some ongoing and some in the pipeline), more roads had been built (some ongoing and some in the pipeline), more medical facilities built, transportation systems improved to meet the modern standard (Remember, it's the first state to implement the BRT system in Africa, creation of numerous bus stations and lay-byes, creation of waterway transport that was not available back in the days, creation of modern jetty stations to standardize the process), returning the focus of the state towards agriculture with infrastructure to sustain the growth, remodelling the rail system to meet the modern standard (something that was degressed to an abysmal low when the state was the capital), creation of platforms that shoots the state financial prowess from a meagre one to a mighty substance amongst others.
Like I pointed in the other post, the problem has largely been the overpopulation of the state. With the lots of infrstructure in the state, it should be doing well if the population had been moderate or better still, if it has the landmass which would've meant there will be no much density in a given area to overwhelm the facilities available.
They are low in medical facilities but recently, we have seen improvement. Yet, that doesn't mean it doesn't havee the best/one of the best facilities in rthe country hence the reason why most prominent member of the society fly into the state for medical attention when the world was on lock down.
PS: And it's not just development on paper like you pointed. I don't care to know where you're living in the state (unless you're typing from your region), step outside and all or most of these facilities will be staring at you in their glorious view. Lagos hasn't gotten to where it should be but the development is commendable hence the reason why it still remain in all the developmental indices of world cities from reputable sources as the best in Nigeria.

Have you stepped out of Nigeria?Lagos is one of the worst cities in the world in terms of infrastructure development. The money for development has gone to bullion vans and paying the multi-billion life pension for former governors.

All thanks to Igbo people. they really played a greater role in the development of Lagos.

Quite fine, I haven't gone beyond my street before let alone getting to the airport but give yourself an honest answer to these: Is the Lekki/Ikoyi link bridge mediocrity? Is the bus terminal at oshodi mediocrity? Is Five Cowry jetty at Falomo mediocrity? Is the BRT system mediocrity? is the lightrail and SGR system mediocrity? What actually is the definition of mediocrity? Or d'you care to expantiate why these named facilities are one?
Trust me if any of the mentioned facilities had been uprooted and planted in that state/city/country you've got in mind, it would still have look classic in the environment but the inferiority complex of the black mind and/or hate on another blackman ('s thing) would not let them see the good in what they have around them. Of course, we know Lagos like most African cities have a long way to go but that doesn't mean we must not commend the little being done which is commendable by their financial capability.
London had been a $500b economy for a long time, New York a little more while Lagos you want to compare with them has just grown its own above $100b with more people to cater for than London, Paris, Amsterdam, Madrid, barcelona, even Joburg (all of which has bigger economy) and a tiny landmass when compared with New York.

have you been to oyingbo, ikorodu.epe.mushin.bariga.ejigbo.makoko.agege ,ajegunle, badagry and several other parts of Lagos I haven't been able to mention?
Lagos Is worse than mediocrity,its an overrated piece of shit.
I mean..can't believe a sane human being without taking the past history of Lagos in to contention will be defending d shenanigans of a single man turning d state into a vasal of himself and his cronies..
what is happening in Lagos is d definition of modern day slavery

LukasPodolski:
Lagos before the discovery of oil, hmmm.


Lagos, the Oduduwa Commonwealth, but some people east side of the south would never stop running their filthy mouths about their involvement in the Development of this great city..

enough of this shalaye.


Nonetheless ;










Ruudvannisteroy, Nigeria is still the giant of Africa.

May illiteracy or deceit never hurt you in the future. This was Lagos when it started enjoying Niger Delta oil.


If you know anything that was in Nigeria before enjoying Niger Delta Oil kindly list them with pictures.

joke is on people like u.
u know someone is enslaving u, you gnash your teeth in private because nothing is moving well in d country, its even worse in Lagos..
high tax, high debt, high cost of living with nothing to show.
I'm willing to bet u are one frustrated guy who can't even bost of 10 k in your account yet our lives is being ruled by the bourdilon bullion van parking king of tout..

I'd have loved where you'd have shown me how the cable-stayed bridge in America is made of gold, where the BRT bus in LONDON is made of silver, where the bus station in Oshodi will not cut it in Amsterdam because those theirs is built with diamond. Shame. Or must the ones we have here be constructed in same look before you considered them standard? How many years has the third mainland bridge used or has it not faced enough pressure to have shown its good standard? Again, what's the definition of mediocrity? Or d'you just use the word at liberty? Is standard only measure by how fanciful something looks? Won't something be of a quality standard if it's serving its purpose quite fine, especially if it's built by a reputable company? Then, how many of the bridges in Lagos isn't being built by reputable company? Which of them is mediocrity?
And all the places you named would still give most of your best places in your forsaken region a good run for their money for I'm sure you're making this comment as a sadist.
American stars had been in Lagos and had gone round to tell others Nigeria is lit. I can remember Rio Ferdinand granted an interview where he said he'd discussed the country with many of his mates that the country, its people and delicacy are beautiful. He said he'd been convincing them that the picture they hold of Africa, particularly Nigeria, may be quite inappropriate and false. And do you care to tell me where the English man had visited in the country? If Lagos is your state or within your region, you'll be happy for it not sad even thopugh we all know it still has a lot to do. Yet the places you named ain't the only places on the mainland let alone Lagos metropolis.

Pls how old are you,am very sure you in your early 20s for speaking this trash and aside from that you are not a good students of history.

Before the Advent of oil boom in Nigeria,the southwest already has its television station even before the country France.The first television station in Africa,Nigeria's premiere University,Coco house was not build with oil money,odua investment is still in existence and operational uptill now,the free education policy and many more I can't finished mentioning.

And you are here talking about oil,my brother the discovery of that oil itself is like a curse to us in this country.We all know where many countries that even discovered oil after Nigeria are presently talk of UAE,qatar,Libya, Kuwait.

There is a documentary I watched recently about Kuwait dat states that petrol is cheaper than water their,can you say that about this country.

Don't mind the daft IPOBian. Totally obsessed with Tinubu, Lagos and Yoruba people. Disgusting.

Every other post from him is about one of the three categories above. Lagos is on his radar currently.

The covetousness of Igbos for everything Yoruba is actually scary and eerie. Yorubas need to be very careful with them.
