Lagos was the capital of Nigeria untill 1991, 50% (if not more) of what makes Lagos today were part of the old Western region (I stand to be corrected)

in my research I learnt the action group led by The sage Obafemi Awolowo does not want Lagos, a Yoruba town which was at that time the Federal Capital and seat of national government to be designated as the Capital of Nigeria if it meant loss of Yoruba sovereignty. The AG insisted that Lagos, a Yoruba city situated in Western Nigeria must be completely recognized as a Yoruba town without any loss of identity, control or autonomy by the Yoruba. Contrary to this position

The NCNC led by Nnamdi Azikiwe was anxious to declare Lagos, by virtue of it being the "Federal Capital Territory" as "no man's land" - a declaration which as could be expected angered the AG which offered to help fund the development of another territory in Nigeria as "Federal Capital Territory" and then threatened secession from Nigeria if it didn't get its way. The threat of secession by the AG was tabled, documented and recorded in numerous constitutional conferences, inclincluding the constitutional conference held in London in 1954 with the demand that a right of secession be enshrined in the constitution of the emerging Nigerian nation to allow any part of the emergent nation to opt out of Nigeria, should the need arise.

this proposal for inclusion of right of secession by the regions in independent Nigeria by the AG was rejected and resisted by NCNC which vehemently argued for a tightly bound united/unitary structured nation because it viewed the provision of a secession clause as detrimental to the formation of a Unitary Nigerian state.

(what did you noticed in the above; the Hausas were not involved right?)... okay let's go.

The new fct, Abuja was planned in the 80s and officially became the fct in 1991 (thanks to Muritala Muhammed and Ibrahim Babangida for planning and implementing respectively)

Lagos is now like every other state, just like Kebbi, Benue, Rivers, Ondo, Abia, Akwa ibom e.t.c

now the next submission will let you understand the reason for opening this thread..

Nigeria has over 250 beautiful ethnic groups; now.

An average Hausa man does not care about Lagos.

An average fulani man does not care about Lagos.

an Average Ijaw man, Tiv, Kanuri, Ibibio, Idoma, ikwerre, Bini etcetera does not care about Lagos

follow the trend, from Nnamdi Azikiwe NCNC being an obstacle to the last submission, what can you guys deduce?

what could be the cause of this NO MAN'S LAND mantra coming from only one group out of over 250 groups? (I don't need to mention the group, it's obvious)


(this thread does not violate any NL rule)

Lagos as the federal capital before and after independence is only a small fraction (say 1/6) of the current Lagos State.

Lagos State as one of the earlier states created in 1967, was a composition of the previous Lagos that was federal capital and parts of the Western region.

Like all other states, Lagos State has enjoyed its federal allocation and federal projects. The last major federal project in Lagos State was the construction of the 3rd Mainland Bridge that was commissioned in 1990 (30yrs ago).

Lagos State has grown on the merits of its IGR and federal allocations just like every other state.
