Which Is A No Mans Land? Calabar,Lagos or Abuja. by cocolacec(m): 10:54am On Jul 23, 2020
Calabar was considered as the first capital of Nigeria because it served as the first capital of the Southern Protectorate, the Oil River Protectorate, and Niger Coast Protectorate.

After the chiefs of Duke Town accepted British protection in 1884, the town, which was called Old Calabar until 1904, served as capital of the Oil Rivers Protectorate (1885–93), the Niger Coast Protectorate (1893–1900), and Southern Nigeria (1900–06) until the British administrative headquarters were moved to Lagos. This was until the late nineteenth century, when the administrative centre of the Southern protectorate was moved to Lagos in 1906.

Lagos, city and chief port, Lagos state, Nigeria. Until 1975 it was the capital of Lagos state, and until December 1991 it was the federal capital of Nigeria. Ikeja replaced Lagos as the state capital, and Abuja replaced Lagos as the federal capital.

Abuja, city, capital of Nigeria. It lies in the central part of Nigeria, in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT; created 1976). The city is approximately 300 miles (480 km) northeast of Lagos, the former capital (until 1991).

Lagos seized to be the capital since 1991 ,The Ibos still see Lagos as a no mans land.That is a great disrespect to the people who have accomodated you tolerated all excesses and see you as their own to even intermarry with them.

Can the Ijaws,Ibibios claims Enugu as no manns land because it was the Eastern Region capital during regional Government?

How come Calabar and Abuja are not regarded as no mans land? Is the Yoruba tolerance becoming its greatest undoing?

U guys talk as if u have the power but choose not to , Lagos was controlled by the north , for many years ...so please take several sits

How many times have u heard Abuja north claiming they own Abuja ? ...

Two calabar was never a capital never

If yorubas are as hospitable as u claim we would have similar demographics in all south west cities as have in Lagos

You guys are only lucky igbos are not interested in politics like north , ..if north had Igbo population and investments we won't even be here

There is no land boundary between the east and the west. While the Yoruba belongs to one large family. With the generallisimo - Aare Ona Kakanfo coming from any Yoruba province. The Unity is stronger than blood ties. kiss

Albeit. Madam Tinubu has enormous power in Lagos before the coming of the British.

You don't have the liberty to define who is the son of the soil. So, take the back seat as usual and pressurrize your governors back home to utilize the resources they enjoy from Nigeria despite their low IGRs. embarassed

Only Igbos and uncivilised people think backwardly.
If Northerners don't evict Yoruba people in the north, why should we do same in the west.

We have never being given eviction notice or ultimatum like they do to Igbos every now and then

Bro, learn some history about where you want to argue about, so you don't look ignorant in a public forum.

Lagos as the federal capital does not include most part of the mainland. It only covers less than 10 local government of present Lagos state.

Bro, it's not a beef. But it is very germane to let your visitors know their boundary when they start to desire for a nap in the Master bedroom. It is a sign of greediness and covetousness.

The colonialists met the Oba's in Lagos as the ruler in all ramifications ie economic, political, academic, administration etc.

It's just pure hate. Igbos never confronted them in yorubaland. They pay taxes and conduct their business peacefully.

Afonjas are just scared because igbos are buying up their lands and gradually turning them to tenants.
