You can never deny the fact of FG influence in Lagos,it cannot be compared to other regions eg Festac was at a time the biggest estate in Nigeria, no were else was such investment made by FG

At that time, if they had built it in another state, it would have been a wasteful project.
The bottom line is Lagos was doing well on its own before being made the capital. The Yorubas even protested that they should move the capital to another location .

No matter what the capital being in Lagos was used by the whites as an avenue to exploit Lagos .

Every region was doing very well cos there was relatively good governance then until later on,it wasn't only LAGOS.By the way the British administered Lagos prior to independence,the Western government only ruled the Western region and Lagos briefly after independence for 6 years.

Lord Lugard Built Kaduna at first as a Garrison Town

Exactly. Nothing dey Kaduna until 1916 when it became the capital of northern region after it was moved from Zungeru.

Wetin dey Zungeru for 1913?

Wetin dey Lagos if not that it was sold in 1860

Na the mismanagements pain me pass..

Regionalism favoured us till our brothers from the east scattered everything. And as expected, the region is still the most prosperous in Nigeria till date.as it was back decades and centuries ago.

They will say otherwise....Thats why Yoruba elders have always been at the forefront of regionalism unlike their own elders that cunningly want one Naijeria because they are gaining from it.

Who sold it? So you don't know there was already thriving port in Lagos as at that time?


As at that time the Portuguese lived in the Portuguese quarter while the British lived in the British quarter.

They both had an ambassador residing in Lagos.

FG built all the major Bridges in Nigeria including the ones over The Niger

The first Bridge to be built without any FG help would be the 4th Mainland Bridge in Lagos

This is a false statement.

Many Bridges in lagos were built by the LASG.Latest are lekki-ikoyi link Bridge and blue light rail bridge

The British left in 1960
It was Lord Lugard and the British who founded and built Enugu and Umuahia yet you still claim it as yours

Awolowo ruled more that 95% of Lagos State

Have you ever Heard of Gov Jakande Before?
He and Awolowo far outdid the FG by a huge Margin

It was Babangida who was the President that invested most in Lagos by building the 3rd Mainland Bridge but you must Remember that all Major Bridges in Nigeria are built by the FG including all the ones over River Niger

Honestly!...ENUGU,KADUNA AND PH THAT WERE FOUNDED BY BRITAIN THEY WILL NEVER TALKED ABOUT IT.


BUT LAGOS THAT BRITAIN MET AS A THRIVING CITY!

Enugu,Kaduna and pH were never capitals of Nigeria, Lagos was capital for over 70years,if Lagos was a thriving city before the British, how come if was never notable as a Yoruba power but only oyo,Ibadan etc,Lagos was non thriving before the British

You are speaking nonsense.


ASK WHY IT WAS CHOOSED AS CAPITAL AND NOT YOUR VILLAGE IF IT WAS A BACKWARD CITY.

They were never CAPITALS but were built from the scratch by britain and FG unlike LAGOS.
THEY ARE ALL NOT DIFFERENT FROM ABUJA

LAGOS was chosen has the capital cos the British owned it after 1860,it was the first city the British held in Nigeria

1. Yoruba was given by Hausas and not Fulanis. It means someone cunning. The British and Chinese were cunning as well. That's how empires were built.

2. It is better than your tribe Igbo, which means "slave" given to your people by the igala.

Imagine lagos was never the capital of Nigeria for a day, without federal government built seaport, Airport, bridges and multinationals

Just imagine

IF the FG built seaport and airport, the ones that had been operating before NIGERIA came about, where did they disappeared to？ And you mentioned multinational, did you know how many of them predated your amalgamation （let alone independence）that had to leave because of your FG erratic policies？ Do you check establishment of some many facilities the state has before going on the dumb and stvpid claim of FG development of Lagos？ Didn't FG/amalgamation met Lagos with functional train service, numerous health facilities, numerous schools and vastly educated populace, functional telecommunication system with its own undersea cable from far away UK as early as 1890s, post offices, supermarket and superstores, cinema, stadium, bridge, grand church, good road network, BRT system, etc？ Does the change of ownership to NIGERIAN change their founding and/or establishment dates？ SMH!
I guess the cheap education Nigeria offers had only produces half-wit graduates who are alien to research and are easily misled. That the EUROPEANS met your forefathers naked in wilderness doesn't mean they met others the same way. Some people were already running a decent society then and quickly transformed while the white captured and managed such society. Nigeria met Lagos as one of the fastest developing and famous colony in the whole of Africa, go find out.

^^^^^
WHY not tell us how Lagos was a farmland before Nigeria discover it？ AND remember to add how FG magically built the seaport that's transported slaves, good overseas before your forefathers who sat for the amalgamation of NIGERIA were born？ Don't also forget to include the FG government that's constructed numerous schools in Lagos before the 1850 and how such government had conjured miracles from heaven to laid rail lines as far back as 1898, laid undersea cable from UK for telecommunication which came a year later as well as establishing numerous health facilities including the psychiatric, got in the famous Backlay bank as far as mid1850, put in BRT as early as 1900, built Carter bridge around the same time and built the famous Lagos airport （later renamed Murtala Mohammed Airport）during the period WWII was underway, when the ones who might've been born amongst them （independence fighters） were still in their preteens？ Hope your FG tells you that the Lagos you attributed its development to them was one of the fastest developing and most famous colony with its own BRT transportation system developed in line with London transport system, its own post office system, and tarred road networks before the amalgamation of Nigeria or are you just hearing that too？ SMH!

OUR SCHOOL JUST KEEP PRODUCING CONFIRMED NITWIT. Anyway, that the EUROPEANS met some people's forefathers butt nakedd doesn't mean others weren't leaving in a decent society while the said EUROPEANS came upon them. Or do you want receipt for that too？
