Someone from Rivers state should come and educate us about Port Harcourt. The purported oil rich state without development.

What you see there are the tourism potentials of yorubaland that we can only start to enjoy when we leave this country.
Peace is wealth
security is wealth
civilisation is wealth.
Omoluabi is wealth.
As beautiful of those wonders of nature are, it has nothing on the creeks and lagoons of Ondo and ogun state.
Nice one naptu.

Lagos was developed by Nigerian money and hard work of all tribes in Nigeria. So tomorrow now one Gbagi man will now start boasting about Abuja knowing fully well that it was developed with oil money. But Lagos fine o! Hope our leaders in other areas can upgrade their state like Lagos especially those states in d Niger delta due to the beautiful scenery of the water bodies

Which 1914, the Brittish defeated the Benin Empire that is colonizing Lagos in 1851, and force them to hand lagos over to them through strong expedition by British royal army in 1850, they make lagos the southern Nigeria capital after moving the capital from Lokoja and Calabar when they capture lagos from Bini empire warriors, they sand filled the island that is water logged and developed it till 1960, that is more than 100yrs of colonization by British. From 1960 till 1991, Lagos continue to be the capital of Nigeria receiving tremendous development from oil windfall for more than 30 years. Abuja is currently been developed by Nigeria oil money, if the Abuja is moved to another location in the future I think that Gwari people will surface from no where and start telling us how they developed Abuja. If Nigeria go back to regionalization, lagos will go to South West, but they should not be taking credit of making lagos what it is today.

Spare me all these to and fro movement. My question is simple and has not changed. How was Lagos before 1914? I guess before 1914, you have the entity call NIGERIA talk more of the oil that was discovered four decades after 1914. At least certainly, Lagos was developed even before 1914 and I know there was nothing call Nigeria nor the OIL you screen about.

2) The treaty of cessation of August 6, 1861?

3) The Idejo?

4) The Popo Aguda?

5) The Saros?

At least certainly, Lagos was developed even before 1914 and I know there was nothing call Nigeria nor the OIL you screen about.
Before 1914, Lagos was a small community trading route used by Bini empire to trade with Portuguese and also ship the captured slaves to North America, The Bini empire called lagos, Eko and white colonizers changed the name to lagos. Before the defeat of Bini empire in Eko, Eko is just a riverline community inhabited mainly by Aworis, Egun, Yorubas and Ijaws. Before the advent of oil, the British developed lagos with money from, Cocoa, Coal mining in Enugu, Rubber plantation from Ondo, Bendel and Abia, Palm oil sales from Ondo and Eastern Nigeria. The entire lagos Island was sand filled by British and they built lagos for more more 100 years from 1851 when they seize it and annex it from Binis, and they built lagos with money from all their colonizing territories in Southern protectorate which include the present day SW,SE,SS and some part of NC (former middle belt) part of Nigeria before the amalgamation in 1914.
