The whole of lagos state was never the capital of Nigeria. It was Lagos Island.

Lagos shall be great again.

Hopeless Ugandans! All the same I blame my Yoruba people. We need to learn ruthless violence and serious meaness - that is the language the pathological jealousy of the yeasterners will understand. Anyway I know it is not possible! So wailer can wail on. Awon werey!

Bros no give yourself High BP!

I enjoy the e-war talk: Ugandans vs Brown roof, flat screen vs cone head, ofe mmanu vs aje okuta.......it should be at the level of humour!

Adult peeps don't hate on themselves.....nna cool temper

Hon Abubakar is behind in strategy.

Tinubu called for special classification for Lagos when he was Governor. Fashola called for the same. Opposition PDP govt in center opposed it. Now that the central party is aligned with the visions Lagos is going forward to get its special classification.

Abubakr from their much hated North is now the Chairman to make Lagos No man's Land . Nonsense toh Bad.Its not their fault since we've made Desmond Elliot to claim surulere,dem fit yarn dust.Awon weray Supporters club

Why cant these diabolical yorubas have their separate country with heavenly lagos? Why do they still want to be in one Nigeria even with their lagos and oil? Yeye the smell

This is a step in the right direction, afterwards, there should be six regions with Lagos & Abuja making it eight regional federating units. Lagos will never be part of the SW except there is balkanization, until then, it will remain a no mans land with a presiding minister just like Abuja. It seems like the restructuring we all are clamouring for, has just started!

even when Lagos was capital of Nigeria, it had governors.....
mobolaji johnson
lateef jakande
Mike Akhigbe
Raji rasaki
Micheal otedola......

their powers were never usurped by the F. G.....
infact, Lagos enjoyed great strides and massive development during the era of lateef jakande despite being an opposition party to the F.G based also in Lagos.

Yorubas should be happy with this. It will make lagos richer. I don't know why they are not happy.

Please lagos will not relocated to the north or East. It's still in south west

Lagos is a state it has indigenes. It can never be FCT which on paper is suppose to be a neutral place for all Nigerians. All we urge d FG is to maintain their assets in d state. Shikena!!!

basilo101:

as usual, afonja runs away from confronting abubakar his master, hmmm?? Lagos is no man's land, we the "ugandans" don't even need any national assembly bill to take our rightful portion of our nations capital, remember, there are two "ugandans" representing Nomansland at the HOR

Lagos with 20 LGAs has 24 federal constituencies. Think...

If Yorubas have 21 of the 24 reps, it's okay at this time.

The 2 yeasterners are Bode George's stooges. It wont happen again though.

@OP
It cant and wont happen.
Abuja is not a state; hence it is run through a ministry. It isn't so with Lagos.

Deluded yeasterners should just go and rest.

remember the grazing bill? We all said it's not true that it's not on the floor. Meanwhile it has passed second reading. This what is on ground. All regions will still maintain their former capital. I don't know why you guys are not happy about it. It's a good development for Lagosians.

Don't worry I already have it. My people's welcoming, accommodating and non violent demeanor is the cause of it.

We allow all manners of idiots on our territory - one nija my yansh!

Fools paradise and pie in the sky comes to mind. It should bother you that nothing worthwhile or useful to this country comes from the East.

This is nothing to worry about. It's good for development. I wish they can make ph the second capital instead of lagos

I see this as a good development, Yoruba should be happy or am i missing something

Is nairaland now your territory too?

There's nothing you do that can make lagos look beautiful. Lagos can be likened to a pig which if you bath, dress up, makeup it will still remain a pig. Federal government should either save whatever money it plans to invest in Lagos and use it for other meaningful projects

Here comes another frustrated and jobless iPod miscreant...

Olu20090:
This is how it should have been for all federal capitals past, now and future that was developed with federal money. Big thanks to Hon. Abubakar for sponsoring the bill, and all the Northern and Eastern members supporting it. Lagos must agree or vomit all the federal oil money she has eaten. The bill already has 2/3 of secured votes and more are expected to vote in favor.

even if it happens lagos would still av oba's nd nt emir or obi.lagos developmrnt would sky-rocket,nd if at all nigeria divide,it would still be a yoruba land.so quit the bitchhhiing its a win won for us.we would shift our attention to ogun,osun,ekiti nd ondo,while the fedral develop lagos for us.you igbo's would remain loosers nd sad beast

I can feel your pain but what i said is the truth. You either accept it or wallow in your misery

lol sick bitcchh,who cares bout ur Igbo nd ur stupid nri,u can enter d red sea for all I care hoe

One1after:


Lol. Dont you know they pray and wish evil for SW daily. For any crisis in Lagos then it become Yoruba state, for any development they bring there flat head to spew there trash. Mschew

I swear this guys are cursed.they can support the devil himself,just to see yoruba fall.they arechildren of esau nd are bound to be failures though

So sorry for what you are passing through. You look depressed. Drink rat poison so you can end your misery. You can afford it its only 20 naira

Lagos should not be the only former capital facing this;all former capitals should.I can't imagine a certain Mohammed Musa name-like being the minister of Lagos and the indigenes would be denied right to chose their governor,by your posts and monicker, it'll be hard to see sense/sincerity in your comments. So your likes can confirm the status of 'no man's land'?

Lagos is a very depressing city. The pig smell, the traffic, the horrible odour. The roads are death traps. Any body who says eko ni baje dosen't know what spoil really means. Lagos stinks like a decomposing rat in the bedroom. Anyone who quotes me is an idiot

This shouldn't be approved.
Many questions to ask,
1. Which development Lagos require for everyone to qualify it the best in Africa again, that would instigates making it second capital of the county?

2. Is this not another tactic to control Lagos citizens to the fullness by whosoever in power, abasing the right of the so called Indigenous of Lagos?

3. Lagos is the proud of other western states in Nigeria, endorsing it won't denied the Legacy of the west?

All these questions and many more needs to be answered thoroughly before having it done.

whoever is advising the northerners must be a really smart person. The SW will seriously be affected if Nigeria is restructured along Geopolitical zones federating units without the Lagos State. So the northerners are trying to tell the Yoruba's to jettison the issue of restructuring or loose Lagos state. Its blackmail. I advise my fellow SS and SEasterners, the best political course for us in this issue is to side the Yoruba's, let them discard that bill immediately and face the real restructuring we have been clamouring for. Its more beneficial to our regions to control our resources that to achieve a useless objective of having Lagos 'answer' no man's land.
