phase1:


You may to downplay the contribution of other ethnic nationalities in the development of lagos due to greed but facts are stubborn. It doesn't change the fact that lagos was capital for about 30 YEARS and every region's resources including palm produce, Crude oil, Groundnut, TIN etc were spent developing it. The effects of the development spilled over to the surrounding towns and areas.

Cumulatively, trillions of dollars were spent developing it by other nigerians over the course of 30 years while you were singing 'Nigeria ni ti gbo gbo wa ni'. You and I can't deny these stubborn fact.
If you want others to leave just like that. Then we'll go the Ministry of finance check the recordsand calculate how much of other people's resources lagos have gulped. You pay and everyone goes his way. Then you can your lagos to yourself.

The poster you quoted just lectured you with facts and you are still repeating the same ignorant rubbish.

You need to stop talking about Lagos because you do not know anything about Lagos, the history of Lagos and even the history of Nigeria.

sokera:
typical igbo , they feel they know all and they are typically illiterates in nature ... let me educate you , Oba of Lagos is a first class Oba, those oba you mentioned (Oba of Ikorodu, Oba of Badagry and Oniru of Iru Land are under the Oba of Lagos...

Oba of Lagos is among the first class obas in yorubaland and is seen as a powerful figure in the hierarchy of traditional rulers in Nigeria. thе Oba of Lagos іѕ the trаdіtіоnаl аnd сеrеmоnіаl head оf entire Lаgоѕ .

You talk a lot but make little sense.

If governors can remove the all powerful emits what then are you talking about.

A governor might not choose to remove an Oba directly but he can reprimand/caution him.

The Obas just like other high-ranking traditional rulers know that their office is ceremonial as custodians of cultural values and institution.

They don't place themselves parallel to civil authority.

Not Lagos state.

Lagos Island Victoria Island and Ikoyi were the Capital
No I recognize the contribution of everyone including the British but the idea that there was a transfer of resouces or wealth to Lagos City from any other place as you claim ie. groundnut money etc is just nonsense.
There was a very clear transfer of wealth in the case of Abuja but in Lagos it was developed from locally generated wealth which also went to subsidize other regions
The British moved their Capital to Lagos ity and the rest is history. The port was the route through whicch the groundnut pyramids left the country.It was for more than 50 years before independence the main port in the country and that led to it becoming the largest city BY POPULATION and therefore wealth

Lagos state from dday one was a contributor to our finances . Lagos was never subsidized or planned the way Abuja was.

I speak with FACTS


go and look at the Colonial Reports which go as far back as 1896.

The port in Lagos City was generating billions of Naira in today's terms.

These facts have all been presented here on Nairaland


Abuja has been Capital for more that 25 years and received many ttmes more what Lagos City received . Why is it still struggling to sustain itself??

Just remember Lagos City is not Lagos State

Under the Oba of Lagos?

Why and how?

What exactly do you mean by "under"

Is the Oba of Ikorodu a 1st class Oba?

Sorry but the Obas of Ikorodu and Badagry are not UNDER any other Oba.

The Oba or Eleko of Eko has his territory in Lagos Island let us not go into status of white cap kings in Yorubaland but the addressone simple question.

Lagos is not a Yoruba word. The correct title is Eleko of Eko and the use of the title Oba of Lagos is a calculated ploy to inflate his status which the military government institutionalized out of ignorance but he is not the Oba of Lagos State> His territory is Lagos Island or Eko .

Finish!!

Who cares if you concur or not.

Then live with it the fact that they are "sophisticated morrons.

That eediot should be relieved of that post he occupies at vanguard or that company should be ready to start counting losses.
I'm sure he's a Nairalander who thinks an anonymous site like this is the same as facebook where you can go spew trash when your full identity is known worldwide.
He's learnt it the hard way and this should be a lesson to everyone especially on our social media activities.

Diz sophisticated morons claiming Anambra boy.

livinbygrace:


Kingship is hereditary and according to custom of the land while his own position at vanguard is based on appointment which can be terminated incase of any misconduct.You could as well asked the queen of England to step down ?

has the queen of england come out openly to insult a whole tribe? just look at the none sense you wrote. so because he is an oba he shouldn't guard his utterances? and you are the same set of people who say you are accommodating. you cannot even put the queen in the level of an unknown oba because from a tender age a queen is taught manners. if thats how your leaders behave in public then i am sorry for you.
