I said Epe Ikorodu Ikeja Badagry aren't part of Lagos city. Yes! And Lagos state government confirmed that.



Its territorial extent and political jurisdiction encompasses the city of Lagos and the four administrative divisions of Ikeja, Ikorodu, Epe and Badagry"

Good. So what areas of Lagos does Lagos mainland comprise of when u said Lagos city consists of Lagos island and mainland?

That's pitiful, dirty town.

You no sabi read ni?

Eat your humble pie after reading carefully.
.

Lol, actually, I've been reading your back and forth epistles with the fellow.

But, the thing is, many people do not know the geographical complexity of Lagos state and they seem totally confused when these things are profoundly explained to them. It may in part not be their fault, because the government also has some enlightenment in regards to these issues to aid in urban planning and policies.

I remember when I told my friends sometimes back that we had to get to Lagos for a meeting. They were dazed like are we not in Lagos? because we are at a place in Ikeja then.

Many do not know the difference between Lagos(Isale Eko), Lagos, Lagos Island, Lagos FCT, Lagos City, Metropolitan Lagos, and Lagos State.

When long-time Lagosians or state residents that know deeply these things tried to explain to them, instead of listening, they rather argue needlessly

But then u didn't read were it said that epe, Ikorodu, ikeja and badagary were administered by d then western region govt (past tense). So is d western region govt still administering them? What has happened to them since 1968?

That's why I said English seems to be a problem for u.

Q1. When did d Lagos State govt designate Lagos as Lagos city? In simple terms, it means d date d designation was done

Q2. When did Lagos State govt declare Lagos city as comprising Lagos mainland and island?

Your website doesn't answer d question and it's not in consonance with d claims that u made that "Lagos City" (and not City of Lagos) comprises Lagos island and mainland

Are you blind? Read what Lagos government wrote and stop grasping for straw.

Second question is not about when, it is, is it true Lagos comprises Lagos Island and Lagos mainland? The answer is yes.

The City of Lagos and Lagos city are same. Stop fooling yourself.

ADMINISTRATIVE DIVISIONS [IBILE]

With a territorial land area of 351,861 hectares, Lagos State is made of five administrative divisions, namely: Ikeja, Badagry, Ikorodu, Lagos [Eko] and Epe. The divisions were created in May 1968 by virtue of Administrative Divisions [Establishment] Edict No. 3 of April 1968

Hahahaha! Honestly, the guy is confused but doesn't want to learn. I just tire for the guy.

I agree with you on the second paragraph. The government ought to educate and enlighten people in regards to this. I think none residents and non indigenes will find Lagos' complexity difficulty to understand.

The fourth paragraph will throw that guy off balance. E no go under isale eko from. Lagos Island.

C'mon! Is it watching YouTube that gave you that idea??

Dude you need to travel man. Lagos is a massive slum and when you visit Southern Africa your eyes go clear.

Most Nigerians dont even know how backward their environment is

Basic central water and central sewage is completely absent from Lagos. What kind of city is that?

cappucino925:
google the rate of Hoodlums activity in The USA and you would be marveled and FYI USA and most first world country still have slums

You are fooling yourself if you believe a country like the USA has cities that look like Oshodi, Makoko, Mushin, Adjegunle or massive sections of the city that look like that.

The ghetto in the USA has central sewage, central water, side walks, nothing like open sewers and gutters, traffic lights, street lights, clear road markings, pedestrian lights

The ghettos in the US are far better than many parts of the Island

ADMINISTRATIVE DIVISIONS [IBILE]

With a territorial land area of 351,861 hectares, Lagos State is made of five administrative divisions, namely: Ikeja, Badagry, Ikorodu, Lagos [Eko] and Epe. The divisions were created in May 1968 by virtue of Administrative Divisions [Establishment] Edict No. 3 of April 1968. The Divisions are further divided into 20 Local Governments and 37 Local Council Development Areas respectively, in accordance with Nigeria’s federal structure and the need to bring governance, development and participatory democracy to the grassroots.



IKEJA

Ikeja Division, a predominantly Awori enclave and the cradle of its civilization, consists of eight local government authorities namely: Agege, Ifako-Ijaiye, Kosofe, Mushin, Alimosho, Oshodi-Isolo, Somolu and Ikeja which serves as both the seat of the State Government and the divisional headquarters. The LCDAs include Agbado/Oke-Odo, Agboyi-Ketu, Ayobo-Ipaja, Bariga, Egbe-Idimu, Ejigbo, Igando-Ikotun, Ikosi-Isheri, Isolo, Mosan-Okunola, Odi Olowo-Ojuwoye, Ojodu, Ojokoro, Onigbongbo and Orile Agege. Ikeja is the state capital and administrative center of Lagos State Government. The division has a concentration of both medium and large scale industries within the Mushin-Isolo-Oshodi and greater Ikeja industrial complex, while also having a large agricultural area in its rural Alimosho, Kosofe and Agege districts. A fledging Central Business District [Alausa/Agidingbi] and Nigeria’s biggest and busiest international airport [Murtala Mohammed Airport] are situated in the divisional headquarters, Ikeja. There are over fifty settlements in the division notable among which are: Isolo, Isheri-Oshun, Ikotun, Isheri-Olofin, Meiran, Ejigbo, Egan, Ketu, Ojota, Shangisha, Oworonshoki,Mushin, Abesan, Magodo, Egbe, Igando, Idimu, Ayobo, Iju, Ifako, Abule Egba, Agboyi, Ikosi, Okota, Somolu, Ipaja, Abesan, Abesan, Oregun, Isheri-Oke, Oshodi, Oke-Afa, Ojodu, Ogudu, Bariga, Ilupeju, Obanikoro, Akowonjo, Agege, Ijegun, Alagbado, Aboru, Olota, Ojokoro, Ikola, Ajasa, Baruwa, Ewu, Abule-Onigbagbo, Odi-Olowo, Shasha, Mende, Ipodo and Alimosho.

BADAGRY

Badagry Division is a zone of culture mix between the Ogu and Awori as well as an international border region. It consists of four Local Governments, including: Ojo, Amuwo-Odofin, Ajeromi-Ifelodun, and Badagry as well as six Local Council Development Areas namely: Iba, Ifelodun, Olorunda, Oriade, Badagry West and Oto-Awori. Badagry serves as the divisional headquarters. The Division enjoys a pride of place in Nigerian history, especially as regards early European contacts with West Africa. Being a coastal town on the western littoral, Badagry was a major slave outpost and market during the pre-colonial era and also the entry point of Christianity in Nigeria being the place where the Bible was first preached in 1842, under the Agia Tree. The original name of the town, Gbagi, a contraction of the word ‘Ogbagleme’ means a ‘farmland near the swamp’ in Ogu language. The word, ‘Ogbagleme’ was later coined to

IKORODU

Ikorodu lies approximately 36 km north of Lagos and derives its name from ‘Oko-Odu’ meaning vegetable farm. This farmland was the first place where Oga, the crown prince of a Remo King and supposed founder of the town settled hence, the reference to the town as Ikorodu Oga. The Division consists of Ikorodu Local Govenment, and five Local Council Development Areas including: Igbogbo-Baiyeku, Ikorodu North, Ikorodu West, Imota and Ijede. By virtue of its location, the Division serves as the gateway to the country’s hinter-land. It is also an active commercial/energy center and national broadcasting gangway as the transmitters of the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria [FRCN], Voice of Nigeria [VON] and those of the State Broadcasting Corporation, [Radio Lagos/Eko F.M. and LTV], are located there.

The population of the Division consists of predominantly of the Ijebu and Remo groups that inhabit Ikorodu, Egbin, Igbogbo, Imota, Ijede, Maya Adio, Odogunyan, Isiu, Igbokuta, Ewu-Elepe, Baiyeku, Oreta, Ofin, Gberigbe, Erikorodo and Igbalu. However, along the riverine fringes of Ipakodo, Ibese, Ebute, Majidun, Itowolo, and other coastal communities, there is a strong presence of Eko-Awori population. The indigenes of Ikorodu Division are mostly traders and farmers with fishing thriving mostly along the Lagos Lagoon foreshore on the Cradoo [Ikorodu] Lake waterfront, Ipakodo, where a Nigerian Ports Authority Lighter Port Terminal is situated.

I love Lagos but I don't think it is in top 10 beautiful states in Africa. Lagos is very developed yes, but it's not that beautiful.

I'll attribute this majorly to poor planning. Everybody building high rise wherever they like. It's just scattered development here and there.
Also, Lagos lagoon isn't clean.
Lagos sky is full of dirt and is not true blue.
Lagos doesn't like nature. Not sufficient greenery.
Lagos road planning is shite.
The fact that people still litter in Lagos lol
.
The beauty in big places in Lagos is usually cut short quickly by abandoned projects, faded paints on roads and buildings, market women selling right there in the road lol then the beauty starts again then it's cut short quickly again.
