Then why's Tinubu claiming he developed Lagos?

Lagos was already like this when Tinubu is just about 8yrs,yet Tinubu supporter will say it was Tinubu of 1999 that develop the Capita of Nigeria for 77years.

Soon one aboki will claim he developed Abuja

I just watched a documetary about british women moving to London in 1954 and now seeing this picture which are similar in comparison. i can clearly say that the british did rule us with a fair hand even though there are ''clauses'' here and there but our major problem is self-annihilation.

just take a look at that beautiful Carter Bridge in the 60's now they have looted all the rod used to design the bridge, that it now looks like a shadow of itself.

As of 1862 Lagos declared British colony ,
10 years later is became cosmopolitan city with over 60,000 person and bubbling commercial activity in Africa.

Road networks , hospitals , Railways, Schools , electricity etc start appearing subsequently .

Lagos had gone to become one of the fastest developing cities in the world by 1900 ,
This was when Tinubu's mother was still being babysited .
It's rather amusing when people put up argument to market their choice candidate , Tinubu as the brain that built Lagos , grin

Mr Tinubu, who isn't from Lagos isn't the first nor 50th ruler of Lagos , and if all the predecessors did what Tinubu did to Lagos , am certain nothing would be left for him to sap .
How can a man after governing and making all his moneys from a state , still can't let go of that state from his exploitative claws like his predecessors.

Instead of a man Paying Tax to the Government, He rather create a Company (Alphabeta) that collects the state's Tax , collects his Share and then remit the leftover to the state coffers ?

How did Tinubu become so rich by just heading same position , Marwa, Jakande, Fashola , Ambode and Sonwolu held in Lagos State ?
I mean, why would Bullion van not convey cash to his residence when He, Tinubu inaugurated a $2B construction of Lagos Blue light railway of 23km( mile2 to CMS) in 2003 by same Chinese company that built Heavy cargo railway of 750km from Ethiopia to Djibouti 2 years after at the cost of $1.8B ?
Watch how Afonjas turn blind eye to the truth. I wonder how any one in their right mind would support an agbero drug dealing thief to rule Nigeria. Chai.

Allow every geopolitical region to manage its resources for 50years & you'll be amazed how much development some regions will attain.

Over their dead body. At the mention of regional government some lazy people heart will be panting but one day I am sure it must happen

Carefully selected posh areas to rig minds into believing lagos has serene ecology abi.

Please show us pictures of Ikotun, agege, Orile,
Ikorodu . . . in the 60’s too.
In the 60s, Ikotun, Agege, Orile, Ipaja, Ayobo, Abule-Egba etc were mainly farmlands with greater serene ecology than the posh areas posted by the op. Rural-urban migration turned those areas to residential areas
