Wetin dey Lagos if not that it was sold in 1860

Who sold it? So you don't know there was already thriving port in Lagos as at that time?


As at that time the Portuguese lived in the Portuguese quarter while the British lived in the British quarter.

They both had an ambassador residing in Lagos.

Christistruth03:
Lord Lugard Built Kaduna at first as a Garrison Town

Exactly. Nothing dey Kaduna until 1916 when it became the capital of northern region after it was moved from Zungeru.

Wetin dey Zungeru for 1913?

babasolution:
The north,especially Kaduna axis

Bhuhahahahaha! Kaduna was conquered in 1901. Na pure village.

babasolution:
Again other regions also had these things,the significant difference was Lagos eventually being made capital, that was what distinguished it from other regions

Which region had all these as at 1913? Mention one.

babasolution:
Stop spreading false hood,the British did not develop Nigeria, however all the places they invested in was from the resources of those places,you people don't know LAGOS sha,Lagos was mostly undeveloped until the military governments kick started the development, they didn't even go far,Lagos only started developing significantly only recently

Lagos money was used to develop Nigeria. Lagos is different from Lagos state. Lagos state was developed by the Western region.

Lagos already had tram, railway, bridges, paved roads, street lights, electricity, telephone, banks, industries, port etc long before the entity Nigeria was formed.

If that's development, what is development?

babasolution:
Calabar, brass ,Benin all had ports before Nigeria, however that Lagos was eventually made the capital of Nigeria was the significant difference

No! Lagos was already a prosperous city long before it became Capital.

It was Lagos money the British used to develop Nigeria.

babasolution:
The current sea port was built by the federal government and private sector

Lagos already had sea ports long before the entity Nigeria was formed. That's the point.

Besides, FG built sea ports in Port Harcourt, Calabar etc.

babasolution:
LAGOS had been sold to the British since 1860, it was under the control of the British, the British developed it,LAGOS was chosen as the capital to prevent French encroachment as the eastern Nigerian area( the Calabar area had already been defined as British territory but not the Western area.)

You're a novice. Lagos was already declared British territory as far back as 1962. Calabar became colony of British in 1884

Ozommadu:
Imagine lagos was never the capital of Nigeria for a day, without federal government built seaport, Airport, bridges and multinationals

Just imagine

Sea port in Lagos was built before the entity Nigeria was formed in 1914.

Michael Jackson has 7 premier league goals ,but Chelsea fans will tell me he is rubbish and what I said about him was cap

You people really don’t deserve good strikers sha

Your wish to allow him keep missing until Chelsea goes to relegation, abi?

Now wey we don score, critics don stop to dey comment. Na wa ooo.

That was a fast one.

Fubara and Wike should mend fence. Too early.

Nice one.

Ghost workers you mean

People wey never love dem wife na dem dey call Will Smith sim.

Dude love his wife. Simple and short.

Felix6:
go and ask your ground-father

Dey play. You don't have proof but you want to ask someone. You sure you get sense.

Advision:
Oga go school, you refuse. Going to school is relevant beyond getting a job at the office.

Did you see it with your eyes? Dem say dem say doesn't work in the court of law.

Dem say dem say. Pure propaganda.

Where's the evidence?

Tinubu use their words on them. Hmmm! Politics!!!?

Osimhen baba! Wow! After how many years? Finally, a Nigerian won APOTY.

I can see some roads that are very important. Kudos to this government.

mostob:
The rastamen wey una carry put for team are not footballers.

Injuries and striker are Chelsea's main problem.

Ibime:
So 30m plus Lukaku is a good deal?

Jackson better pass Vlahovic sef, what am I saying

Nothing.

airmark:
Did you read what you quoted? Baba you need to sleep.

Vlahovic as our main striker last window, would have saved us the eyesore below. Good that the mumu coach has voiced out that your Jackson and Broja, are disappointments. It remains you and Nateevs to bow your heads in shame for being Ok with quacks, you called top strikers.

https://i.imgflip.com/88wu2n.gif

I couldn't believe my eyes.

Marjoribanks:
The best club for Osimhen right now is Arsenal! He could win Ballon playing for that team.
They do create loads of chances!
This is the time for him to enjoy his football not struggling for remnants!
Arsenal it is!!

Chelsea

Relying on Jackson and Broja was the biggest mistake the board made after spending big on midfield.

Jackson has wasted many chances this season which is very ridiculous.

I don't know if the board wants to turn Chelsea to selling club or winning club. Time will tell.

Poch to me is not the problem. Na the owners be problem.

Okobioko!

EtinosaDLaw:
Of course they won't say it in Kano because they don't have as many investments there as they have in Lagos.

Just on Thursday, an Igbo man launched the first luxury hotel in Africa in Lagos. Sanwo Olu was in attendance, along with Goodluck Jonathan, Obasanjo and Emir Sanusi.

Yet, one Muturu from Ogbomosho is seething with envy and typing "chase them away" with his sweaty armpits. I hope you heal 🙏 🤣

Do you mean Delborough Lagos is the first luxury hotel in Africa?

This one below?

You be ignoramus. Walahi!

Bravo
