Alcohol is not within the realms of my culture, unlike you and many of your inebriated brothers. But not withstanding, we shall move on to the education that you so badly seek and need. Please read and learn.

Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport is the oldest in Nigeria and the first aircraft landed in Nigeria was landed in Kano in 1922, with operations starting in 1936.

Calabar is considered as the first capital of Nigeria because it served as the first capital of the Southern Protectorate, the Oil River Protectorate, and Niger Coast Protectorate. This was until the late nineteenth century, when the administrative centre of the Southern protectorate was moved to the colony of Lagos in 1906.

The Protectorate was ended on 1 January 1914, when its area was unified with the Northern Nigeria Protectorate and the Lagos Colony, becoming the Colony and Protectorate of Nigeria.

When the two halves of Nigeria were amalgamated, the North allowed Lagos to have the benefit at the expense of the North. It could've easily been Kaduna or Lokoja.

You cannot now say that you own that choice or its inherent results, without the North Lagos would be Ibandan. The North made Lagos what it is, the same way Abuja went from being a small town to being what it is today based on a Northerner's decision.

For too long, the North has taken a back seat, it is time for the North to reassert herself. The time has come.
@ emboldened sir please check your acohol level

Calabar was never the capital of Nigeria

Calabar was the capital of Southern Nigeria before Lagos colony was joined with southern Nigeria which is prequel for Northern Nigeria joining with southern Nigeria in 1914.

From the time Lagos was joined to Southern Nigeria, it became the capital.

Please read your history books very well.

There was no intention by the British to drill Lokoja which still fell in yoruba territory of kabba province although now northern Nigeria.

And again Lagos port has always been profitable for Europeans from the time of Slave trade.

I didn't know North built the first university in Africa

I didn't know North built ikeja industrial hub

I didn't know North built the Lagos airport after the second world war

I didn't know North built ports in Lagos that portuguese first traded with.

Oh and first television station in Africa

I didn't know it was north that built the largest entertainment hub in Africa in Lagos.

Need I go on

NaijirianKing:
This is what people forget, but the North made Lagos what it is today.

[B
The North chose Lagos as the Federal capital and that drew massive investments to that city. What other city in southern Nigeria has such an economy?

That selfless designation is often overlooked. The North initially wanted Kaduna to be the capital, but decided against it for national unity. The southerners make noise about who owns what in that city, but the truth is that without the North, those southern tribes would be at their necks fighting and nothing would be developed. Where else in the south is like Lagos?

Even up until today, see what Dangote is doing in the south. A Northerner creating jobs and wealth in the south only to turn around and have his region mocked for unemployment and poverty. Lagos is the product of true Nigerians in the North thinking about the country and not the tribe or region. It was the ground nut pyramids of the North that made the initial investments in the oil sector and made Lagos what it is today.
@ emboldened

You are drunk

Lagos was made capital by the British because it was self sufficient before Nigeria even got independence.

Lagos already had an airport, two seaports a technical college before Nigeria got independence, the later of which generated revenue (tariffs) which the federal government depended upon..

What did Kaduna have?

Please read history or at least get someone with a brain to narrate history to you.

is there another international airport in Southwest outside Lagos?

So if a Yoruba person was coming from outside Nigeria, he has no other choice than to land in Lagos before proceeding to his or her state.

Kano, Abuja and Enugu are international airports

And imo airport served as diversion while Enugu was being repaired..

Hence, the high numbers of those airports

There's only one international airport in Southwestern Nigeria and we are not complaining about marginalization.

It was only in 2015 the idea changed.

Jlow2:
I argue to learn and not to insult, were is the present obas palace located in lagos, they small eko the Bini prince ruled or the other parts you mentioned, and if it's located in eko ,why not in the a the vast areas he has no power?
1)Answer to first question

The palace of Oba of Lagos is located at Idumota in Iga eledumere (iga a Ado/Edo name for house)

This particular land was given to him by Aromire ( the Yorubas) chiefs or white cap chiefs who are the real land owners of Lagos island.

Some of this White cap chiefs are oba on their right today like Onikoyi, Oniiru and Oba ikate of today

2) Answer to question two

How bini ruled over the Aromire

The bini during their conquest era arrived in Eko amongst the Awori and ilaje who were majorly fisherman and famers and wanted to force them to start paying tribute to the bini kingdom.

However, rather than go to War with bini, the Aworis reached an agreement with bini to allow the kingdom establish a vessel state amongst them but they will be be allowed to keep their lands in return.

The Bini agreed to this arrangement which gave birth to the red cap chiefs (the bini Chiefs) and white cap chiefs (the Aromire yoruba chiefs)

Years later the white cap chiefs broke and started establishing there own kingdom again once the british empire arrived and Oba Lagos pledged allegiance to them and broke away from the bini kingdom.

However, note that this arrangement was only limited to Lagos island.

It was the military which declared ikeja, Epe, Ikorodu, ibeju as part of an extended version of Lagos once Nigeria got independence.

Those kingdoms mentioned above are separate with different histories.

It should be three Nigerians who are not Lagos natives are holding office in Lagos. Lagos was developed with federal funds. Why should a native of Osun or Kwara on account of being Yoruba be more entitled to political position in Lagos than other Nigerians? Can an Osun state native go to Ondo to contest for position? Yet they come to Lagos and claim it's for Yorubas only and when one or two non Yorubas get position, it's used as a symbol for the faux liberalism
This is in Oyostate recently

First oba of lagos oba ado was a Benin prince, lagos was never a Yoruba land
There was no Lagos when that oba was ruling.

He ruled over Eko which originally described a small part of Lagos island not Lagos state under the current arrangement.

And more fun fact, he ruled over Eko Aromire an Awori sub clan of Lagos which he met there.

There were vast areas of Lagos state in which he has no power over then and today

Ikorodu, Epe, ibeju, most parts of mainland which the Egbas and other Awori controlled, Badagry areas which the Egun and Awori controlled, the waters ways which ilaje controlled.

This Yoruba people eh, hope you guys won’t die on top of Lagos one day o. Other citizens from the different regions are even suppose to hold more prominent positions because Lagos is more of a cosmopolitan city, but tribalism has blinded your eyes.
There's nothing that stops Yorubas and probably Egun(Gun) people from dominating every office in Lagos because Lagos also have indigenous people just like your state of orgin.

And you actually missed the point that those people were actually appointed by Yorubas to Foster unity in Lagos.

There are other non Yorubas in Lagos that won elections and actually hold elective position.

Meanwhile we have two igbos and an Hausa man holding important positions in Oyo state too.

Go through all their posts and comments. You will see them calling out Yoruba Muslims for no reason. They started the term "Yoruba Muslims" on this forum.
but is their hatred simply directed to Yoruba that Muslims or Yoruba tribe in general?

They also often use the term "Afonja to generalize Yorubas without actually generalizing it"

It's much safer to hide behind a term to propagate hate against other groups. At least they will be able to hide their hatred behind a tag.

In the end, you need to read beyond the Yoruba muslim tag and see that the hatred is simply for all Yorubas. E.g Awolowo, Obasanjo, Osibanjo, Yoruba pastors even Wole Soyinka etc. Who are all Christians

Igboland is the least important to Yoruba people's survival in current Nigeria.

We still get crops from north central and North East

South South is still very important because of crude oil money


But what is the interest of the Yoruba tribe in South East?

We have never even had the same political views or world outlook.

As far as I am concerned, the South South region will suffer the most influx of igbo refugees should security totally break down in the southeast.
