Because Lagos is no man's land.


There can be over a thousand barracks in Lagos, no one will complain...Because it's OUR land.

Any state aside Lagos(No man's land), having more than 5 barracks will bring total uprising and ethnic war in Nigeria.

because Lagos was Nigeria capital in the past, what did you expect of a capital city.

I really don't know why... they are just too much..

Worse and very dirty thing is, almost all roads and streets adjoining these barracks are littered with Hausa Fulani people in their numbers...and the whole place is so dirty.

When was those barracks build?

Give yourself brain.

From Arakan, Ashanti, Tego, Liverpool, Ojo, Badagry, Dodan, Ikeja, Majidun/Ikorodu, Bonny Camp, and then Giwa Barracks, military barracks strewn every nooks and crannies of Lagos.

Being the former capital territory, the location of many military barracks around Lagos is strategic.For instance our Dodan barracks then was unique because it houses the brigade of guards who are responsible for protecting the successive HOSs.

Signs of a militarised and police state! You normally find such in a country that’s living a lie...where the ruling hegemony is afraid of its own shadow!

Lol you even all those ordinance corps can count as barracks too (there's one after palmgroove) .

I was at ojuelegba today and men & women in camo were just littered everywhere like the policemen you see everyday. It's only in Nigeria you get to see soldiers moving freely among the civilian populace.

there's one barracks too at Ikorodu.. odoguyan barracks.

How is it different from Aba Road that no one use with Ibos?

I was forced to reason that maybe Ibos jumped civilization process of interaction of culture that is why they are very intolerant to other tribes but I was wrong, it just illiterate and uncivilised among them that are with the loudest voice.

That aside, its a very strategic state. It's the commercial capital of Nigeria, controls 90% of the import ad export in Nigeria (apapa sea port) has the busiest airport in Nigeria, lots of Headquarters are located here. The major step in winning a war is to cripple your opponents economy and lagos will be a juicy Target to an enemy any day any time.

There is actually a naval school of technology in kachia but I can't call it a full fledged naval base cus they share the same premises with the Nigerian army school of artillery kachia

What you have in kaduna aren't really barracks. They are majorly training centers. You get too see things like Nigerian army school of this, Nigerian army school of that. You can't call them barracks. Lagos beats kaduna hands down.

But your small Abia has more than 5 military formations and a place like Ekiti has none.

Are Kaduna. Abuja, Abia with many military baracks conquered territories?
