DoTheNeedful:
He is correct. Lagos State was never the capital of Nigeria. The capital of Nigeria was Lagos Island, which had its own ministers, just like we have Wike as FCT minister now.

The main reason people mistaken Lagos State as a former capital is because of the confusion caused by the word "Lagos" in Lagos Island and Lagos State. If Lagos State had adopted a different name, the confusion wouldn't have been there.

Lagos Island and its environs became the capital of Nigeria in 1914. Whereas Lagos State was created in 1967 from the Western Region. Most of what is currently known as Lagos State today was part of the Western region. The administration of Lagos Island came under Lagos State after the capital was moved to Abuja in 1991.

To be fair to all, Lagos State benefit immensely from its proximity to the former capital. That is not unexpected. Even Virginia and Maryland benefit from their proximity to Washington DC. Nasarrawa State is benefitting and will continue to benefit from its proximity to Abuja.


When I hear people say, "Lagos is no man's land", I wonder which Lagos they are referring to.

please after Lagos island which town in calabar was our capital

esnbrutality:
So Lagos Island alone was the administrative capital of NIGERIA right. This administrative capital is situated in where?

So invariably..Abuja as FCT ..is wrong. So Mataima is the administrative Capital of NIGERIA abi?

Tomorrow Reno I'll tell some people that calabar was never Nigeria capital rather ibiono town in calabar

He deserves some encouragement to do more. They need it to wheel down their farm produce.

He is 100 % better than Abia lawmaker that share plastic bucket last week or the former Abia governor who shared a bottle of kerosine.

Slytiger:
How is this different from the other guy that was sharing buckets to women in Abia State

chopnaira:

Even the bus stop is popularly called 2nd Pedro by conductors. I have never heard them call it Charly boy bus stop.

Even this morning when I was passing there my conductor shouted( charlie boy dey) that is what lagosians know

crestedaguiyi:
No other Governor has been able to do for Delta State half of what he did for them.

We thank him for doing good to all deltans with deltans common wealth, is that I'll make him loot deltans common wealth?

Ttalk:
Now Lagos state is beginning to take control of its affairs.

The next is to rename some market that their name has no link to the people of Lagos state.

It is high time Alaba market is changed to reflect the history of the people of Ojo. There nothing in Yoruba and Awori dialect that bears Alaba.

But a Yoruba man I know is named alaba

Shikini:
Charlie Boy bus stop is their main target
This is the height of insecurity

Laughable

Tinubu will not be president forever.
Nigeria belongs to all of us
.

How many times I'll they rename this bustop but lagosians are still calling it charlie boy bustop

TimeManager:
When Jagaban, the Knight Commander was pushing the CNG initiative, some folks with limited understanding were making a fun of it. Now we have seen the gradual progress CNG is beginning to have across the country. Dangote is changing the face of logistics in the oil sector with an initial units of 4,000 CNG trucks, pretty soon, other marketers will follow suit. Lagos is also pioneering food logistics with CNG trucks, the impact will reduce costs of food items, good and services. Aside that, transporters are gradually embracing CNG as well.
God bless Nigeria.


-Kiss the truth!

But transport is going up in lagos and it's environ avery day

Brilliancepower:
I think you're very myopic and close minded on the revenues that can triple in as a result of this project. Mind you, It is not only Nigerians that live or may want to live in Abuja or in this particular city. Be happy!!!

Before you venture in any business you do market survey abuja is not mature for such it's too local

Lanruze:
This man deserves an award.

He stole Government money to buy a Python.

Someone is telling me this country I'll get better na lai

Owerri is beautifully green

Mariangeles:
He meant people possessed with familiar spirits.

Yes op, they're real.
They just need to trust you enough to open up.

They usually hate anything God, church, and prayers because it unsettles them, causing them to manifest.
Prayer is their kryptonite.

Some of them have even revealed themselves on this forum (one particular one that was stalking me was revealed to me in the dream), but it takes spiritual discernment to know.

marine spirit is a poor man issues in Christendom and for those who believe it not for the rich

TimeManager:
Crazy, this is ambitious. Wike dey vex. Nigeria will remember Wike and Tinubu's legacy forever. God bless President Tinubu for the wisdom in choosing Wike as a minister.

A few pictures of Dubai City Walk.


-Kiss the truth!

The project is dead on arrival in abuja because abuja is only federal capital not commercial capital this can only work in lagos Nigeria commercial capital but misguided elements like you I'll hail the waste of the resources kiss your rubbish
