“On 6th August, 1861, the small Yoruba Kingdom of Lagos was ceded to Britain by its ruler, Dosunmu (wrongly spelt and called, Docemo). Though Britain had been active in Lagos for at least fifteen years beforehand, as well as in many other parts of the Coast, this was the first time they occupied land in what is now the Federation of Nigeria. Today, one hundred years later, Lagos is the capital of the largest independent nation in Africa. From these small beginnings in 1861, Lagos has developed into an international commerce centre, with a vast port and a population of over 350,000 people. This special centenary supplement is an attempt to present some of the factors that led to the occupation of Lagos, its subsequent growth as a commercial and political capital culminating in the achievement of Independence on 1st October, 1960, when Lagos, as capital of the Federation, was the focus of the nation’s celebrations.”

^^^^^Check the bolded part, Igbos didn't exist as a tribe at this point in history - and there was NO SINGLE Igbo in Lagos in 1861 when Lagos was an international commerce centre.

Lagos was built by the Yorubas, Afro-Brazilian slaves of Yoruba descent, and slightly by the British. You guys need to stop blowing your invisible trumpets, leave Lagos and Lagos will continue to flourish.

We the real Lagosians built our state - and you guys created the slums. There were no slums in Lagos before you guys started trooping in, in your millions.

The pictures of Lagos before independence are below:

I'd prefer the pictures of Lagos before the advent of the white man.
