1900 Lagos was built by British and Brazilians. They had planned to make it a permanent European settlement in Africa like Cape town...they didn't succeed because of the chaos in the inner Yoruba mainland...they lived in constant fear of an insurrection.
They eventually decided to abandon their initial plan and incorporate the town to south Nigeria Who were the Brazilians that developed Lagos along with the Yoruba indigenes before British came to add more? Yoruba slaved deported from Brazil as the result of Male revolt in Bahia. Fact Lagos had telephone (1886), new paper publication house (1896), Banks (1894 & 1899), electricity (1896), Tramway system (1901), carter bridge (1901), Lagos - Ibadan train (1900), paved roads with cars etc before other tribes stepped a foot in Lagos, and only SW money was used to accomplish these. That's my point.

Why not Ibadan....? How can somewhere from SE and SS who helped to build Lagos will miss out and somewhere like you and Tinubu from Osun will claim Lagos simply because the military added Lagos to SW. So Abuja would be the capital of the Gwaris? Lagos was protectorate of its own before the northern and southern Nigeria were merged. It has absolutely nothing to with the Yorubas, from Osun, Ekiti, Ondo and Oyo.
Even at that other regions would not mind if you take Lagos, but you have to compensate other regions with the investments from the FG. Other regions will also compensate you from the FG investments in their region as well. No single SE or Northern were in Lagos as at 1900 because they were yet to be annexed to the British. War was still going on. Hence, Lagos was already a developed city before they arrived. Fact Train, electricity, banks, tramway, payed roads, houses with Victoria and Brazilian architectures, street lights, carter bridge, etc infrastructures were already in Lagos before other regions of SE and North were conquered. And the value of Lagos port was about 1m pounds despite the fact that SS had Calabar port functioning. Fact There will be no compensation given because Lagos was already made long before other regions came. Facts. forgiveness:
With who and whose resources?
Definitely, with only Yoruba's resources and Yoruba trained carpenters, cabinetmakers, masons, bricklayers and technically skilled artisans from Bahia.
Not one kobo from other regions contributed to the development of Lagos as at 1900 because other regions were yet to be conquered and annexed to British as at 1899/1900. Fact
No one kobo resources of other regions were imported or exported through Lagos as at 1900 because North & SE were yet to be conquered and annexed to the British empire, and SS resources were imported and exported through Calabar port.
By the time Lagos colony was merged with Southern Nigerian protectorate, Lagos was already a cosmopolitan city.
By 1872 Lagos was a cosmopolitan trading center with a population over 60,000. In the aftermath of prolonged wars between the mainland Yoruba states, the colony established a protectorate over most of Yorubaland between 1890 and 1897.
Colonial Lagos developed into a busy, cosmopolitan port, with an architecture that blended Victorian and Brazilian styles. The Brazilian element was imparted by skilled builders and masons who had returned from Brazil. The black elite was composed of English-speaking "Saros" from Sierra Leone and other emancipated slaves who had been repatriated from Brazil and Cuba. By 1872 the population of the colony was over 60,000, of whom less than 100 were of European origin. In 1876 imports were valued at £476,813 and exports at £619,260. |

Lagos that Igbo, hausa, yorubas and Europeans developed? Lagos was capital 76 years 1914 to 1990
Onitsha on the other hand has never been capital of anywhere. Just a city with hardworking natives.
Is there any city in the west as popular as Onitsha or Aba that isn't a capital city of its state. Shattap forgiveness:
Lagos was already developed before any other tribe in Nigeria came to Lagos.
Lagos was already a city with modern architecture before British came to Lagos.
Lagos was already a city with modern infrastructures as at 1886 - 1901, before other tribes ever came to Lagos.
Lagos was already a modern city with telephone (1886), new paper publication house (1896), Banks (1894 & 1899), electricity (1896), Tramway system (1901), carter bridge (1901), Lagos - Ibadan train (1900), paved roads with cars etc before other tribes stepped a foot in Lagos, and only SW money was used to accomplish these.
Lagos seaport was already existing even before British modernised it in 1913. This was before Lagos ever became the capital of Nigeria.
This is the picture of Lagos in 1910 and no one Kobo of SS, SE and entire North was used to build it. Fact.
The moment British conquered the remaining parts of Nigeria in 1913, the entity Nigeria was formed and Lagos was declared the Capital because no 'city' outside SW was befitting enough. They were mere bushes and villages built with mud houses. Once this was done, other tribes flooded Lagos, the new world.

Like I said it was first developed by the brits so they can explore other regions bcuz it's closer to the sea which is virtually where they will first discover, wait a minute I just realized we are in 2020 not 1851, just imagine what will happen to Lagos if there is no Nigeria today No, it was first developed by the Yorubas before British came to add to it. Lagos was established before SE, SS and Northern ever came to Lagos. Other regions like the SS & SE were also closer to the sea through Calabar their Capital yet lagged behind in infrastructural development compared to Lagos. That's the bigger picture. If Lagos is no longer part of Nigeria, it will develop faster than any other cities in Africa because it will become the capital of SW. Period. |

Smithkafors:
To some extent it's true.Most high rise buildings in Lagos are along the road.Abi they get another one.Majority of Lagos buildings are along the road,apart from areas in mainland,most inner lands are fallow especially in island area's,those that have buildings are mostly duplex.I believe individuals own more story buildings in Onitsha than Lagos.Before you start arguing,igbos control building materials market in Nigeria (look at dangote highest customer always igbos,tiles,paint etc).Why is it like that?,that's because igbos prefer building their houses anywhere they reside Lagos to Kano to Anambra they build story buildings for residents to reside as their investment. Computer village, Lagos Island, Ikeja(from Olowu area to Allen and Opebi), Yaba etc are litered with 2 - 4 floors in thousands. Lagos Island, Victoria Island, Ikoyi, Eko Atlantic, Surulere and Lekki are litered with high-rise from 12 - 30 floors in hundreds. |

Yes, Igbos kind of partnered with the Hausa fulanis in the past. But even my own people did that too.
But what I like about Igbos is that they are not ashamed of calling out their people who they feel did wrong. Many Igbo youths of today do not respect Zik or his past actions. Heck, they even slander most of their past leaders for their deeds.
Igbos do not hide or protect evil for Tribalism unlike u Yorubas.
Igbos & Northern christians queued behind Atiku because he was the lesser evil of 2 evils.
Atiku is just too liberal to be a Fulani man. Maybe because he is from Adamawa Sha and he grew up being surrounded by Christians & Muslims of different ethnic groups. Unlike Buhari from core northern Islamic Katsina.
As for Benue people voting Buhari in 2015, yes it happened! And the Tivs were the ones responsible for this. Why?
The Tivs were jealous of the Idomas who had the Senate Presidency and a stronger influence under GEJ. So, they thought that supporting Buhari will get them Senate Presidency, rather they got massacres.
That action of Tivs forever helped me confirm my previous thoughts that we from Plateau, Southern Kaduna, Nasarawa & Gongola cannot really be one with Benue & Kogi people. Irrespective of religion. These people are the same with you Southerners who are very very selfish and will never mind to ditch/jeorpadize everybody else progress for personal gains.
Sebi you know Boss Mustapha & Babacir David Lawal? (secretaries to the Federation). Both of them are Kilba Christians from Adamawa.
Kilba people have been heavily favoured by Buhari's government, but Buhari still lost in their LGA. Most Kilba and Adamawa Christians at large still hate and dislike Buhari (Atiku notwithstanding).
That is how we Northern christians roll. We will not sell each other because of selfishness. However, Tivs, Idomas & Igalas are not like this.
This is the reason why I do not rep Benue people! They are not part of our movement. We will only work with them as neighbors same way we work with Igbos to leave this useless country. Thank you. You don't know anything about SW. |

@Legendhero, forgiveness, Iamgrey5, Covidodo, Ayekotoo, Barbilius, candidtalk
When we were arguing over Ilorin, One of u dared me to prove that Hausa language was once used as the language of senior education in Ilorin.
Look below. I attached 3 screenshots from the first colonial document used to classify & record all ethnicities and provinces of Northern Nigeria, written around 1900-1910.
It is now a compiled book called NOTES ON THE TRIBES, PROVINCES and EMIRATES OF NORTHERN NIGERIA PROVINCE.
It was compiled by the Temple brothers, who were British colonialists in charge of the administration of the Northern Nigerian region.
I want you guys to read through these 3 screenshots and u will see where
1) It was said that Ilorin urban had 2k people as that time and the majority of ethnicities listed there were Non-Yorubas.
2) Yoruba language was used for Junior education while Hausa language for advanced education in Ilorin
3) All the traditional rulers from the Igbominas, Igbolos & Ekiti speakers were appointed and confirmed by the Emir. So, not just Ilorin but the whole of Kwara was under the direct rulership of the Emirate.
See, let me clear you Yorubas on one thing, cos I noticed how many of you go about saying that the Emirate in Ilorin does not change anything since even the Emir and everyone else in Ilorin speaks Yoruba as their mother tongue.
Ilorin is not a unique case! Nupe land & Hausa land are both Emirates under the Sultanates (ruled by Fulanis), and almost everyone in Nupeland & Hausaland speaks only Nupe & Hausa (including the Emirs).
It is only the NE that the fulanis managed to retain their native Fulfude language because the tribes there are smaller minority tribes who did not have the numbers of speakers to absorb the Fulani settlers.
Fulanis conquer you and do not care whether they loose their language to yours or not. The only thing they care about is retaining the rulership of your land!
Then they try to create a form of caste system where only those with fulani heritage become the elites of that society.
Mind u, fulani heritage does not mean one who speaks fulani language. It means one who speaks Hausa, Nupe or Yoruba language but has full or partial fulani ancestors.
This has worked perfectly in Hausa land and to an extent Nupeland, it was working in Ilorin, but due to the exposure of Western education in Yorubaland, the aim was defeated.
That of Ilorin can be seen where half or majority of the elites from Ilorin are of Fulani ancestry and these can be clearly seen from their family names e.g SARAKI, BELGORE, GAMBARI, BARAJE, BELLO e.t.c
So, you guys should stop claiming that the Emirate in Ilorin is weak because nobody speaks fulani language, that is ignorance!
Nobody in Bida, Lapai, Agaie, Patigi or any of the Nupe towns speak Fulfude.
Nupes do not even understand Hausa language as a 2nd language unlike Gbagyis, Southern Kaduna, Plateau people. Any Nupe you see speaking Hausa learnt it by living in Minna, Jos, Zaria, Kaduna, Kano, Bauchi e.t.c
So, even Hausa settlers in Bida have to learn Nupe language in order to survive same way they learn Yoruba in Ilorin. However, this does not change the fact that majority of the royal families and elites among the Nupes are of FULANI ANCESTRY, and they know themselves, inspire of their mother tongue being Nupe!
Today, more than 10 million fulani who live in the NW claim to be ethnic fulani but they cannot alter a word of Fulfude. Their language & Culture is HAUSA! e.g the Buharis, the Lamidos, Shagaris, Yar'aduas et all. None of them can speak a word of Fulfude or know anything about fulani Culture. This is why they are called HAUSANIZED FULANIS.
The same way dozens of families and thousands of people in Ilorin are YORUBANIZED FULANIS.
So, Yoruba language displaced Fulfude & Hausa language in Ilorin not up to 100 years ago, but it did not make all the Hausa fulanis there disappear.
These Hausa fulanis and their descendants who now speak only Yoruba in Ilorin are the majority of the muslim extremists you have today in Ilorin.
Fulanis conquer a people and try to integrate with them in order to avoid being revolted against in the future.
They adopt the language of their hosts and intermarry from their hosts. That is why almost all the fulani royal families in Nigeria have Hausa, Yoruba, Nupe, Bariba, Chamba, Jukun, e.t.c wives depending on the area they settled.
Thank u for your time  1. You lied. Ilorin had a population of 2,500 and was shared among other ethnicity present. It didn't say Yorubas were not the majority. Egerton debated on this issue because he viewed Ilorin as a Yoruba city. Besides, why were houses built in traditional architecture in Ilorin according to your source? Egerton came into conflict with the administration of Northern Nigeria on a number of issues. There was debate over whether Ilorin should be incorporated into Southern Nigeria since the people were Yoruba, 2. If Hause was used for older people, why was Ajami scripts written in Yoruba and not Hausa in Ilorin? 3. Igbominas people already embraced Islam long before Ilorin ever did. Which Ekiti traditional ruler was confirmed and appointed by Fulani? 4. Do you know Emir Moma was removed through palace coup by Yorubas Baloguns in 1896? It was British who forcefully placed his son on the throne. Who signed the treaty with British on behalf of Ilorin? Ajikobi's family. Why didn't Emir of Ilorin sign if he was actually the leader of Ilorin since British signed treaties with the heads of communities conquered? Why? Emir of Ilorin throne is shaking. He knows that.

Apparently, NOT SE, SS nor NORTHERN resources. Value of importation and exportation without SE, SS North etc was about a million pounds sterling. Lagos without these region's people or recourses was already a rich city. Fact By 1872 the population of the colony was over 60,000, of whom less than 100 were of European origin.

Can you guys see the reason why some people call Ibadan a big for nothing city
Ibadan is twice the size of Jos and was once a regional capital, but see Jos giving it a run for it's money.
When we tell you people that the only part of Nigeria you can call illiterates are the Hausa fulani & Kanuri core-northerners, you people will start yarning dust.
Southern Nigerians are not more literate than Middlebelt/Northern christians!
That was the case 30 years ago, but we have rapidly caught up with you guys.
The only edge you people still have on us is the large diaspora, traveling abroad and larger middle-class (supported by Fraudulence )!
Legendhero & Tobrasky, you have been posting lists of American varsities with Yoruba & Igbo students.
Yes I know my people have not started choosing the West as educational destinations in good numbers, but we are gradually getting there.
However, if you go to places like Cyprus, Greece & Turkey, we are very very well represented. Even Hausa fulanis are well represented there.
I had an Igbo friend who schooled in Cyprus and he confirmed to me that Middlebelters & Core-northerns clearly outnumber Southerners in his school and the whole of Cyprus at large.
Go to Malaysia & Egypt, Hausa fulanis form 90% of the Nigerian Students there.
Here is a proof below of what I am saying about Cyprus. I just picked a random Cyprus varsity and I logged into their alumni search. And for every northern Christian name I put in, there were people who had that name and finished from that school.
And besides, you people were concluding that there was no northern Christians on those American alumni lists, and the question I have for you people is. IF YOU SEE MOST NORTHERN CHRISTIAN NAMES, CAN YOU IDENTIFY THEM?
Within Nigeria and most possibly Africa, Northern Christians have the most diverse names!
We have 200 ethnic groups and everyone of them have their own unique tribal names. In addition to these tribal names, we also answer Judeo-English names, Hausa Bible names & Native Hausa fulani & Kanuri names!
If you guys or the average Southern Nigerian see names like
NGALATO SHALLANGWA
GONG CHUN ESTHER
ABAINE ISUWA ANGBAZO
HYELADI GONI
BISHARA YASHIM
NGOPWA TAFIDA
NERAT BIYAYA
can you be able to tell where they come from?
Jokers.
Or you think every Nigerian must have Chi, Ade, Ola, Nwa in their names or answer pure Islamic names like Hausa fulanis?

1. Georgia State University ( Spring 2018, Fall 2018, Spring 2019, Fall 2019)
2. Georgia Institute of Technology ( Spring 2019)
3. University of Maryland (Spring 2018)
4. University of North Carolina at Greensboro ( Summer 2018)
That’s 7 different sources of data (More will come in the future if I have time or maybe another person can help and we will keep updating the post to reflect the changes. Tired for now)
The Yorubas beat the Igbos blue and black in all these aforementioned institutions. I will upload the stats as soon as I find a way to evade this anti-bot. Igbo should be contesting with Benin/SS rather and not Yorubas.
If we research the whole universities in USA, the trend will still be the same coz that’s the self-evident truth.
I am surprised someone here can say the Igbos are much in Universities in USA. Not only are Yoruba much in the universities, we (Yorubas) constitute the highest number of Nigerians working in corporate America and I also challenge any Igbo on here to dispute that fact.
NB: We have again busted the statement that Igbos are more in USA universities. This is a false statement and henceforth should not be uttered by anybody!!!
@Tobrasky, I know you would have been convinced that your initial statement is false based on the universities you’ve reviewed. Isn’t it time to let go?

Why should Yorubas do that? Can Supermods themselves not check the actions of the Mods? Is that not what Supermods should be doing?
Virtually everytime I have been banned, and it is many times for that matter, is because I spoke in reaction against Igbos. Some of us have nothing to do with our time than to be begging some Supermod to do his/her job?
We are now responsible for highlighting abuse of power to Supermods who should have the tools to discern this and fire offenders? Don't think so bro. Bros, I don't know ooo but you can send the Supermod a mail in regards to your last statement. Perhaps, he looks into it. |

That's exactly what I have been banned for several times since this lockdown began. Never mind that the Igbo aggressor who was rude and uncouth to me first remains active and free to post without a ban. Like you, me sef no send. I just get on with it. We know Igbos and partisanship are like 5 and 6. Na today?
I expect to get banned for this post but goodluck to the Yoruba owner of the forum and Yoruba mods who allow this to happen to us. I don't see how this is different to how we sell them land and properties in the SW only for the ingrates to now be saying they are "enslaving lazy Yorubas in their own land". Yorubas better start dey ronu now and not even tomorrow, next month or next year. Report to this mod first but if he fails to do justice, report to the super mod. There is justice on Nairaland if you know the rules. PS: don't open another moniker. If dem know, na life ban be dat. |

My dear I do not work in BudgIT ,neither was I the one that compiled the table.
The same body that said Ogun IGR is bigger than all south eastern states ,also indicated in their ranking that Anambra state has better chance of survival in the absence of federal allocation compared to Ogun state.
That a greater number of south eastern states have higher chances of survival than many southwestern states.
And I ask again WHY? Where did you read the bolded from? |
