In the wake of the killing by the police of nine killer kidnappers who had been wreaking havoc on Lagos, some persons have resurrected already discredited claims about the development of Lagos. And because our people have short memories, it is expedient to set the records once again straight, using verifiable and traceable evidence,

This photo of Carter Bridge was taken in 1929, twenty eight years after the bridge was constructed in 1901. Carter Bridge is still standing today, 123 years later. If you zoom into the photo, you can see how heavily developed Lagos Island was in 1929. The place where the bridge ends in this photo is Idumota.

Carter Bridge was built by the then colonial Governor of Lagos, Sir Gilbert Thomas Carter, because of the heavy vehicular traffic in Lagos Island, which hitherto had to be ferried to Iddo in boats. As of 1901, there were actually more cars in Lagos than in the rest of Nigeria combined.

Mind you, this was long before oil was discovered in Nigeria. When Carter Bridge was completed, only Lagos, Ibadan, Lokoja, Kano, and Benin had sufficient municipal administration, population density, and infrastructural development to be called cities. Almost everywhere else, except for old Sokoto, Ile-Ife, Port Harcourt, Warri, Zungeru; and Abeokuta, were little more than large villages.

Anybody that came to Lagos after 1901 came to an already developed metropolis with bridges, expressways, hospitals, a city hall, a cathedral (Cathedral Church of Christ Marina), Nigeria's first electric power plant, built in Lagos in 1886, ports, courts, housing estates, public utilities, streetlights, sewage and drainages, and other modern infrastructure.

And it is sad that despite multiple photographic and video evidence, people still make unfounded and provocative claims about developing Lagos or that that space is a No Man's Land.

This photo is an almost 100 years old aerial image. It was taken from a plane, which means that Lagos had an airport (actually an airstrip) at that time. The people in those homes you see when you zoom in were mostly indigenous Lagosians. Appreciate them, and stop spitting on the faces of their ancestors by calling their land No Man's Land.

Look, I know it will annoy you, but the truth is bitter, but certainly better like butter in batter!

Reno needs to see this maybe then he will stop using this tribal things to chase clout.

Majority of the people migrating to Lagos are people from Ogun, Ondo, Ekiti, Osun and Oyo states as seen in the statistics below . Only just about 3% of the entire south east people moved to Lagos in 2021 as seen on STATISENSE.

e, Looks like Reno Omokri has been busy using his influencer powers to turn Lagos into a reallife SimCity game since 1929!

Trying to divert attention from the total failure of the APC they supported. No food, no security, no electricity, no fuel etc. So they start mumu topics to distract people. Come back when you're talking about 9 years of failure. Nine years straight o. 😂😂😂

And yet we were told Tinubu built all that...

I think Reno should direct his message to Tinubu, the bricklayer in chief who built Lagos.

So Lagos was already built as at 1929 and Tinubu claims he built Lagos.

9 Obedient chop sand,don't bring your kidnapping business to South West next time

COMRADES, and so what? Who takes Omokri's analysis serious?

Shut up! You no know anything, leave Reno alone! The photo evidence clearly proves Lagos has been densely populated since 1929.

It has been like that for years. If SE enter in drone they the SW swarm in ships.
Also in 1952 and 1963, an estimated 644,000 migrant poured into lagos at a yearly rate of 59000. Out of these migrants 79% are from yoruba land. With 16% from south east

Hian they will soon invade this thread with insults and false narrative

He Will soon run down Lagos with the curse hanging around him.

This is common sense na

Lagos is the farthest state in the SW and by proximity, you should find more Yorubas there than people of any tribe, just like you'd have more Hausas in an NW state and more Igbos in any SE states

Its dumb to assume Igbos have higher population and thats why u will continued to be bullied cause of your inferior and tiny population

That u saw that stat as a big revelation shows why u guys overpushed yourselves in 2023. U thought u have the numbers

Looks like Lagos has been densely populated since before Reno Omokri even had a Twitter account!

Ohh

yes with 79% arriving in ships from ondo and south west states.

This Reno guy is completely insane. As soon as news broke that 9 alleged kidnappers had been killed in Lagos, this Reno guy ran online to claim that that the men were led by led by someone released by IPOB in the 2021 Imo jailbreak

To this day, nobody has a apprehended for the jailbreak, no investigation has uncovered who was behind it

But Reno knows IPOB did it?

Reno knows the men are from the jailbreak? Even though nobody has managed to tell us who the 9 men are?

Same way Reno is the only one who knows that Obi bought a staggering 400 vehicles for traditional rulers?

It's incredible the things Reno seems to know, which nobody on earth knows

Igbos don make Ronus lose their minds .

You'll continue to try to prove to us Lagos is not a no man's land till the end of Nigeria
😂

So inferior they're now debating ownership of Lagos.... if they were sure they owned and developed Lagos then they wouldn't be need to show evidence.

Macphenson:

Bullcrap, you concoct a lie and then start to attack the lie. No one ever said Tinubu built Lagos.
I challenge you to bring out a quote of anyone who said Tinubu built Lagos.

CyrusVI:

They massively relocated their PVCs from the east to Lagos thinking that will be enough for them to take over Lagos but I still don't fathom how the igbos will think they are more in population than the Yorubas in Lagos , just funny

Macphenson:

No he should direct it to Ekweremadu the Ohaneze idiot leader who keep talking like a fool about Yoruba and Aboki people....
He mentioned that Ibo people develop Lagos State ...tell them to go and develop Ibo land ..they will come with quarrel.....

Help me ask them ....is it a quarerrel to keep developing someone else territory and neglect your father's territory ....

They are from the South East. That's all that matters. I love how the police sent a message to others that travel all the way to SW to commit crimes.

Dundee united, Ekweremadu is not Ohaneze leader and never commented on any issue concerning Lagos.

Looks like you joined the 30k job new, go and ask your senior colleagues here chanting it during the 2023 elections. They even showed a picture of Famfa Oil's building in V.I as part of the things Tinubu built. Consult your senior colleagues to tell you how far. You are juat a rookie in the 30k job.

When tinubu was presenting his manifesto to arewa. He said obi and atiku lives in the lagos he built. Goggle is your friend

All of you are liars. Show me the Google link where anyone claimed Tinubu "built" Lagos.
He championed the resurgence of Lagos when the civilians came back in 1999, that is the argument I've heard.
"Tinubu built Lagos" nonsense is a creation of the Liars Party and their supporters.

As said by TINUBU himself and published by the worthless Punch Newspaper..


https://punchng.com/i-turned-lagos-from-jungle-to-megacity-tinubu/


So Lagos was a Jungle before Tinubu Transformed it abi?

You guys are pathetic..

Nonsense

The "jungle" he used was obviously a figure of speech. If Lagos was indeed a jungle who made all the refuse and schools and the environment he talked about?
This is where liars came in, they parsed and twisted what he said to make it sound like there was nothing in Lagos before he came in, that he built Lagos from scratch!
Very lame indeed.

So when people also accuse him of the statement made by him directly.......,ITS ALSO A FIGURE OF SPEECH..

So deal with it and forget your rants ..it won't fly .

Nonsense

Reno should not worry much... Lagos is gradually going back to its place as the 6th full Yoruba State in South West, Nigeria.

Our people are saying 'o to ge'

Enough is enough.. they should carry their cosmopolitan nonsense to Calabar or Enugu and leave Lagos State alone.
