cocolacec: Lagos, the then capital city of Nigeria was beginning to experience turmoil as an exodus of non-indigenes intensified following the inter-communal violence that had flared in the Northern Region and some parts of the Eastern Region.
Bus depots were frenetic with activity as many Igbos headed for their home region in the east. Among those who left were many skilled persons employed in the public sector as well as those who made a living from trading. Many Igbo shopkeepers sold their stock at greatly reduced prices.
The troubles in Nigeria led to a range of economic and social problems, one of which was a shortage of oil in the north.
Although Lagos was largely spared the inter-communal violence that had wracked the north, there were some incidents reported such as the burning down of the Lagos City College owned by Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, Nigeria's first president who was Igbo. The arsonist was a student who claimed that the teachers had deserted the college after tuition fees had been paid.
The traditional ruler of Lagos, Oba Adeyinka Oyekan, began a six day tour of Lagos, holding non-political public rallies where he sought to allay inter-communal fears.
