Nairaland is now the mouthpiece of NSCDC publishing paid posts as news!
Has anyone ever wondered the recent media crowding by the NSCDC since the death of the alleged 37 miners in their Niger detention centre?
Nairaland is a threat and danger to Nigeria as far as decimation of information goes

Christistruth03:
Lord Lugard himself called Calabar as his Administrative Headquarters while he was in Sokoto and Kano !!!!

It was because the urgent letters from the British Colonial Office took longer to reach him through Calabar that he started looking for another Headquarters and had to settle on Lagos again

Even before Colonisation there was already a well travelled Road between Kano and Lagos and also Kano to Sokoto


There was no road between Kano and Calabar
In fact Lord Lugard and his Army reached Kano on Horseback from Calabar

you just won't answer a simple question: what year was Calabar capital of Nigeria?

You keep deflecting, dodging and evading a simple question because you know Nigeria did not exist between 1900-1906 when Calabar was the headquarters of British colony of the Southern protectorate of Nigeria.

Below is your education in history:

Calabar served as the administrative center for the Oil Rivers Protectorate in 1884. The Niger Coast Protectorate in 1893, and the early Protectorate of Southern Nigeria in 1900–1906

In 1906, the British moved the capital of the Southern Protectorate from Calabar to Lagos..

When Nigeria became a country from 1914, Lagos retained and was Nigeria's first Capital until it was moved in 1991 to Abuja.

Misleading historical accounts like the one you're stating is quite dangerous for Nigerians and Nigeria.

but not Nigeria state branch, atleast we should commend them,if not you might consume it,it might be your loved one,even most supermarket might even be patronizing them to get at cheap rate,with high rate of liver and kidney issues,this are 1 contributor of it,whether the are Igbo women or other tribe,the should be jail

like the police, NSCDC is a unit

NSCDC is now flooding the media with arrests possibly to offset the horrible deaths of 37 alleged miners at their detention centre in Niger.

[quote author=Christistruth03 post=140742103][/quote]I see you siting a page form a teenage account. I just simply ask , what year was Calabar Nigeria's capital?

Christistruth03:
Calabar was the first Capital of Nigeria
It was from Calabar that Zaria Kano and Sokoto were subdued
and ruled by the British

It was after Lord Lugard could not cope with administration of the North from Calabar in the South that he created Northern Nigeria Protectorate

you brought a state tourism guide book as proof? Really?

Alright, I accept. I agree. Now in what year was Calabar capital of Nigeria?

Christistruth03:
Those are the facts

Kano and Sokoto were conquered in 1903 and they were ruled from Calabar !!!!!!!
Lokoja ,Zaria , Benue and Plateau were already under British rule before then and they
We’re all ruled from Calabar!!
Calabar was the Capital !!!!

please site your source that Calabar was Nigeria's capital.

No more emotions

What is the minimum wage in the UK and what is the value of your worthless Naira?

Simpletons in government

Christistruth03:
Calabar was the Capital of Nigeria !!!!
It was from there that the North was subdued and ruled !!!!!

that's emotion speaking not facts.

There was no entity called Nigeria in 1900 and 1906.

This is how you people spread lies and propaganda on the internet.

Ghana is an irrelevant country and so are her citizens.

If you ever wonder why black American music from rap, hip-hop, R&B and Jazz died, black American women are the sole cause.

Husband killers, delusional lots who replaced food stamps and social programmes for true husbands, they are now exposed to the harsh realities of everyday life.

Even black American men do not marry black women in America.

With a 240 million population, that is a failure

Christistruth03:
Calabar and Lokoja were former Capitals of Nigeria
By the way Lagos Island that was capital is less than 1% of Lagos State

99% of Lagos was in the Western region
It included the entire Coast of Lagos.

Lagos Island is inside the Lagos Lagoon
It was surrounded by the Western Region

Calabar was never the capital of Nigeria, but it served as the capital of the British Southern Nigeria Protectorate from 1900 until 1906 and never all of Nigeria.

Lagos Island was only the primary location and core administrative seat, but the capital territory also included adjacent areas like Ikoyi, Victoria Island, and parts of Ebute Metta/Iddo during various stages of colonia independence administration for decades up until 1991.

Saying only Lagos island was capital is not only a false , misleading account but also implying that only Aso rock area of Abuja is capital of Nigeria.

Cuba is irrelevant, experiencing blackouts like a 3rd world country.

Staging a walkout is the biggest international headlines that can ever come out of Cuba

A former National Capital is a no-man's land.

It's a national property.

Same with Abuja now and in the future.

Yoruba? make dem show us any state that looks like Lagos in the South West.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission

Jabi, Abuja.

Go there, submit a petition there and stop disturbing us here with your tears.

this one thinks he's witty. Another problem Nigeria has to deal with to move forward

Nigeria law enforcement will arrest a man or woman whose partner dies in a hotel room or home after sex due to heart related problems or overdose.

But no arrest has been made when 37 suspects died in the custody of NSCDC custody.

Shame!

Make him go give his sisters first without forgetting him mama's own.

I find it very annoying that grown men will publicly show how uncultured and uncouth they are on sm yet people will call it cruise.

that must have hit a nerve when he never mentioned anyone personally.

You must have lost your virginity regrettably.

I must confess Nigeria has been lacking this type of leaders who are apt and versed in geopolitics and international relationships.

Kudos to Shettima.

Didn't know he was this sharp

So no nscdc personnel died in the vicinity same as where the suspects were kept?

The disease must have been armed with special Bluetooth and WiFi connection to select all 33 suspect.

Nscdc commandant is complicit and by his speech useless.

Chairperson of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA) Christopher Kalila says the organisation is engaging Nigeria over its stand-off with South Africa that has resulted in it boycotting this week’s conference of lawmakers in Cape Town.

Nigeria’s House of Representatives announced on Friday that it would suspend official visits and participation in legislative activities in South Africa over perceived xenophobic attacks against its citizens living here.

While SA Parliament said it had no record of Nigeria officially declining to attend the event, Kalila said the matter was raised with the CPA three weeks ago.

With more than 800 delegates attending the 69th annual conference of the CPA, this is set to be the association’s biggest ever gathering.

It’s the third time South Africa’s Parliament is hosting the event, but Nigeria will be absent.

Kalila said the matter was raised at a recent meeting of the CPA’s Africa region held in Malawi.

He told the media on Monday that an all-African nation committee has been established to deal with the matter.

“At this point, we would like to allow them to do their work, and we will be reporting their recommendations in due course when they are done. I think I would prefer that we leave it at this stage.”

Meanwhile, SA Parliament Speaker Thoko Didiza said migration issues affect many Commonwealth countries, not only South Africa.

She, however, said she’s confident that this gathering can reach common ground on solutions to the impact it’s having in many of the CPA’s member states.

you don't boycott a country you can punish considerably.

I remember when the Nigerian government of Goodluck Jonathan taxed MTN and all their government officials were here in a matter of hours

I say tax DStv, MTN and several other South African entities in Nigeria then send their ambassador moving

even your own post is self-contradictory.

This is going down as the most ignorant postulation of a liberal mouthpiece in Africa totally unaware of how the world works .

Is it now the military's duty to declare a civilian wanted and tackle criminality?

Not a fan of the alleged village criminal called Okorienta but I believe in law and order.

From every available statics Nigeria suffers more economically when leadership tilted towards the south west.

I remember Obasanjo's answer for fuel increment was comparing fuel to a bottle of coke.

Under Tinubu, it is the worse the country has ever seen even surpassing that of Buhari

Charles from “ Beauty in Black “ celebrates 7 years anniversary with his husband.

His husband Anthony Hemingway revealed that he dated Charles for more than 5 years before they got married . They felt in love deeply and decided to get married . They did their wedding in 2019 and ever since then , they have been living happily together.

Charles revealed that he only took the role of being gay in the movie because he is actually gay in real life

Single mothers are spawning gay men in numbers.

Both are social and economic asylum seekers and would have unmatched each other.

Dating app is not for Africa except hookups.

And when an African abroad is trying dating apps we all know what they are truly after.

There are no honest friendship between a man and a woman.

Never existed and will never exist.
