Lagos state is major commercial Hub of not only Nigeria but west Africa. The clamour for special status for Lagos has been on for a long time. Let's call on the present administration to do the needful and declare SPECIAL STATUS on Lagos through the executive bill while the NASS expedite action in passing the bill with speed of light.

I hereby call on all well meaning sons and daughters of southwestern Nigeria to unite in calling on this Buhari/Osibanjo-led Federal government to do this and obtain the support of the southwest.

This is a thread to expose Igbo hate for Lagos and the Yorubas at large. You will be amazed how much they will still fall for the trick even with me making it obvious it is what the OP wanted.

Freaking hate filled tribe.

Imagine a tribe secluding a caste among its own to be hated.

Tufiaka !

No @Front4.
Lagos truly deserve special status as the foremost Nigerian commercial hub as well as west Africa.

This present administration should kindly grant Lagos this status and Nigeria will be better.

Do not be anti western Nigeria pls.

PaChukwudi44:

why should lagos be given a special status?

Because Lagos deserves it and Nigeria will be better for it.

So which state n Nigeria does not deserve it?

My dear, to say that all "heads are equal" is just by mouth, not in reality.

PaChukwudi44:

Because Lagos state is a former federal capital with peculiar challenges. It is also inline with international best practices as we've seen in countries like South Africa and Germany were the former national capitals were given special status.

well Lagos will never be given special status.

PaChukwudi44:

Well, some people once believed June 12 will never be recognized as the true democracy day in Nigeria. Today, it is now a reality. So my brother, relax and continue to watch as events unfolds.

Yeah! And some people still believe that biafra will never come

PaChukwudi44:

For Nigeria to truly move forward, Lagos being made SPECIAL STATE/CITY is just one of many steps that must be taken.

Whichever state you may live in and wants to advance cannot be so advanced except Largos' special status is achieved. Note that!

Do not digress this thread.
Granting special Status to Lagos (which is deserving) is one thing; while Biafra issue is another.
Well, this isn't Biafra thread.

mpianya39:

Even though I believe we are better together as a big and united country, I am not against your Biafra if it represents the wishes of most Igbos. However, the Biafran territory must be limited to the five south eastern states.

Truth be told:

The entire Ndigbo have not come to a consensus on Biafra yet. Let's have peace please.

So the person that brought in 12 June wasn't digressing the thread? or June 12 is in connection with Lagos's special Status?

It will help your case more if you can articulate exactly what you mean by Special Status, which could mean different things to different folks.
Let people know exactly what you mean, because you never know who might be reading.

Dear, both entails the popular Yoruba agitations that they want to be met by government.

I for one have a preference for Lagos' special status, and not the awards announced yesterday which mainly benefits Kingibe as the living over the late heroes (Abiola and Gani).

You will have to take it to the NASS.Only an act of parliament will make it happen and your guess is as good as mine

How about Rivers the lifeline of the nation?
Bayelsa the nations golden fowl?
Delta, the economy of the nation?
Akwa ibom - A mother that feeds the nation
Cross river - A former capital and a major provider?

Esseite:


How about portharcourt the lifeline of the nation?

Let this thing come one after the other.

That we clamour Lagos to be given Special status does not meant it becomes the first and the last when given.

It will be the beginning of good things to come.

Why dont we start from that which feeds the nation?

If we join heads to clamour for it, dont you think it would make headway?

This thread is not meant to argue what is due to all the states of Nigeria, but to buttress the high point that Lagos deserves a special status and should be thus granted.

Your position regarding the Niger-deltan states notwithstanding.

You are the funniest.
That's exactly what I want people to know about social media.
See your identity here reading "Adeolakemi" depicting Yoruba, while you comment with disdain against the Yoruba.

In correcting you: Yorubas can be trusted. But you cannot be trusted nor taken serious when you comment in denial of the name you chose to bear.

And you think SS will stay with Yoruba or Hausa??

Honestly Lagos deserves such status... The state is what is even putting Nigeria on the map...

However some states also deserves this too... i.e Oyo, Delta, Ondo, Rivers....

SPECIAL STATUS ON ECONOMY DRIVEN BY NIGER DELTA OIL

ABI?
