Lagos has never been for sale. The assets of these families, these highly prosperous, educated and wealthy Lagos families are still standing till today wink

Here's a very educative read of the Lagos most of you don't know.

TKE Phillips is the first Pharmacist in Nigeria,
Edmund Macaulay (Sir Kitoye Ajasa) is the 1st Nigerian to be Knighted , Chief Christopher Alexander Sapara Williams CMG (14 July 1855 – 15 March 1915) is Nigeria's first Lawyer called to the English bar on 17 November 1879, while Dr JC Vaughan alongside his colleagues formed the Lagos Youth Movement(NYM) which later became Nigeria Youth Movement here in Lagos that fought with other groups for Nigeria's independence.

From Darocha to Bank-Anthony , Shitta-Bey , Randle, Vaughan , Macaulay , Oluwa, Kosoko, Dosunmu , Abina, Alakija, Ashogbon, Ojora, Tinubu , Sasegbon, Sasore etc, Lagos is never and has never been for sale. Proudly one of the descendants of these illustrious families. We are grateful to God for our forebears sacrifices and the virtues of patriotism they handed down to us.
Shout out to these Yoruba families;

By this time, some people were still living inside bush but later came like refugees to start calling it a no man’s land. But God put them to Shame

Meanwhile wedding somewhere in Nigeria where they sun use to rise grin
So not looking European is a bad thing ?
That woman in that photo is a noble woman and you can see it with the Benin beeds.
The black guys in Lagos who were wearing European clothing are some of the slaves who the British settled in Lagos after the British took Lagos away from Benin.
Slot of Yoruba trace their real roots to slavery and nowadays, you guys have partly copied the culture of the land.
