You're deceiving yourself, Yorubas do not own Lagos, never havd, never will.

Lagos belongs to all Nigerians equally because it was developed with Nigerian resources.

Lagos is not a Yoruba name, Yorubas have advantages due to proximity and numbers and thugs but these cannot go on for long...give it 40yrs max
ChiefJusticeFuc:
It was Zik that insisted that Lagos remain the federal capital and not to be included into the then western region.

This was because the British were set to handover the Lagos protectorate (the first British mandate on our shores) to western Nigeria .

Azikiwe went against this and insisted that Lagos must remain a neutral no mans land and the federal capital of the future independent state.

Awolowo then began a move to have western Nigeria (including Lagos) leave Nigeria as a totally separate independent nation.

Zik then cried to the British to arrest Awo and try him for treason against the crown .

The north will later support Zik over Lagos being the federal capital over their fears of being dependent on the western region for access to the sea.

The rest is history .

Now that Lagos is no longer the federal capital and now fully under the SW geopolitical region, Lagos has fully been reverted to its last indigenous owners - the Yoruba .

Let the heebo go to Abuja and drag it with Arewa .
