No Tribe Can Colombi Lagos Or Abuja, They Belong To Everybody by LIFEisSIMPLE: 4:35pm On Feb 27, 2018
Before Abuja, Lagos was the capital of Nigeria, and it was the headquarter of National administration. This means that a share of the resource from all states of the federation where channeled to this region. Federal taxes on every single Nigerian was brought to Lagos, and all this where used to fasten the rate of advancement in the state. This is the reason why only Lagos state can compare to Abuja in terms of administration.

Same thing apply to Abuja, Look how much of the money from the Niger Delta is used to develop Abuja, same goes to revenue from every other part of Nigeria. For every Nigerian who gets taxed for their profit from sweat and hard work, a chunk of this resource is been channeled back to the capital, which is used for development of the city. So any attempt by any particular individual or group to take credit the development of Lagos or Abuja is an attempt born out of bigotry and hate

If say, Benue state is made capital of Nigeria, and federal presence skyrockets to record high levels i.e CBN headquarters is moved to benue, federal Secretariat moved to benue, Presidential villa, ministry of finance, ministry of defence, works and housing, transport, National administration, Senate, house of Reps e.t.c all moved to Benue. International Airport built in Benue, Certainly the condition and lifestyle of the people there will change for better. As a fraction of the income by all Nigerians, firms, states will be re directed to benue in the name of Federal tax. Benue state will suddenly appear like an investment hub where everyone will want to do business both National and International.

So if we say Lagos and now Abuja is belongs to everybody, it is not an insult, it is just basic fact. The locals of this regions should consider themselves lucky as every other state would jump at the opportunity they have or once had.

I repeat my stance No body can colombi, Lagos or Abuja, this states where developed by the hardwork of every single Nigeria making money no matter how small.

There is a difference between Limited Liability company and a publicly listed company. By accepting to become the capital of a Nation, the state becomes a public entity. It gains favour in the eyes of the nation, and in exchange loses its privacy to claimed ownership

Lagos became the capital of Nigeria when the north and southern Nigeria were amalgamated in 1914 by the British. The question of accepting to become Nigeria capital did not arise because the British did not ask for permission from anyone.
And most importantly, only a tiny fraction of Lagos state was the Federal capital.

[/s]Calabar was the first capital of nigeria, followed by lokoja, then lagos and abuja. But no ine is crying fowl the it belongs to all. We know who calabar belongs to. Who are you to be saying your stance, what stance. After this your nairaland ranting, are you going to lasg to tell them this and ask tgem to revoke the yoruba law with immediate effect or you will craw into your hole and continue with your smelly akpu. Cos all i see here is a complete hogwash. Lagos is a bonafide yoruba land.

You keep saying "I repeat my stance" as if that will make your assertion true or valid. How does Lagos belong to all Nigerians more than your village also belongs to all Nigerians?
Is there a legal basis for your arguments? For example, do you have some rights in Lagos that a guy from Zamfara doesn't have in your village?

You are fighting a losing battle, move on with your life and put pressure on your village leaders to help develop your towns and villages because the status, ownership and destiny of Lagos is not contestable based on history and current realities.

Lagos remains 100% Yorubaland, governed by Yoruba people and Lagos state laws and policies is no doubt pro- Yoruba and a reflection of Lagos state's status as a Yoruba state.


Just for the sake of argument, if Nigeria ceases to exist today, Lagos is going to be part of whatever SW formulated as a country while Abuja falls into whatever the North formulated as a country.

Today as we speak, Lagos state is a member of the SW Governors forum, a member of DAWN, a member the Odua group of companies and Lagos state as a member of these groups is paying membership dues and sending state funds to these groups to help develop and fund projects all over SW states from Ogun to Oyo, Osun, Ekiti and Ondo state.


The history of Lagos state, ownership and status is questionable only per ignorant people with nothing better to do with their God given time.
