Lagos is not a jungle; you either obey our law or go to your own jungle - Bola Tinubu in 1999

A video of Bola Tinubu addressing Nigerians in 1999 when he was the Governor of Lagos State has surfaced.

In the video, Tinubu was heard warning Nigerians with intentions to break the law to avoid Lagos as it is not a jungle.

According to him, he warned that they either obey the laws of Lagos or go to their own jungle.

He said in a 14 seconds clip; "Lagos is Lagos. It is not a jungle. You either obey our law or go to your own jungle - Bola Tinubu in 1999."

Reacting to the resurfaced video, some Nigerians took to X to share their thoughts;

@arcsadik: Bola Tinubu's statement is quite bold and direct! It seems he's making a strong statement about the importance of law and order in Lagos. I'm curious to know more about the context of this statement. Was there a specific incident that prompted this response, or was he simply expressing his vision for the city?
In any case, I think it's important for all cities to have clear laws and expectations for residents, so that everyone can live in harmony.

@enilowo: I thought they said Lagos was developed by developers and FG in the days of FCT

But this is Bola launching KAI and insisting we must live like himans, this was when the night buses started bringing them with slippers and nylon bag o

@aderemi_oladiti: God bless this man everyday of is life
