Afrojuju2017:
The real issue is the volume of prisoners and the variety of countries across multiple continents.

Cambodia, India, Malaysia, Thailand, Eutopia , South Africa, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Morocco, Turkey, Cyprus, Italye, Germany, Poland , UK, USA , Mexico, Brazil, Saudi Arabia, UAE , Tunisia, these are just a few of the counties where at least 20 Nigerians are in the correctional system. Some have over 200 inmates in their system..... Your submission is well detailed and precise which I found so logical.... Nigeria immigration have a lot of work to do by the means of International passport issuance to every tom dick& harry that just want to leave the country without any meaningful reason though the Nigerian government is not helping the matter in whatsoever way to make Nigeria a paradise for the citizens..

It would be too tasking for the ministry to attempt to resolve all matters rather they must review cases a d select the ones that are urgent and reasonable

yorosstores:
No diplomacy for convicted criminals.

Ndimkpurummiri:
you are speaking from Ibobotamus angle

lawani:
The Oba of Lagos or Eleko of Eko is the most popular Lagos King but I don't think his land contains up to one million people. It can't be up to five percent of Lagos land mass

lawani:
Are you now saying Lagos island owns the whole Lagos state? Ikoyi for example was established by Oyo.

lawani:
The whole population of Lagos island when it was founded would be a few hundreds or much less. Nobody knew it would become big except maybe the priests who insisted it would become big. There was nothing to invade.

lawani:
If that happened it will be recorded in history and the name of the war will be well known. Lagos island is very small and far from Benin and it can't be held by force by Benin. I doubt they had the logistics to invade the place since it would have had to be by the sea. Then how do you explain the fact that the Awo that established the town was an Ijesa man?.

lawani:
You are saying it was because of the British expedition against Benin that they moved the palace in Lagos island?. Or are you saying the Benin invaded Lagos and they moved the palace because of that? I don't really understand you

lawani:
But the Benin punitive expedition have nothing to do with Lagos island being discussed. Benin had no influence in Lagos to be diminished as at 1897.

lawani:
You said Benin invaded Lagos. I asked for the details of that particular war. The war you are talking about must have happened more than a century before 1897

Christistruth03:
Lagos was already a Brtish Colony in 1890
7 years before the Benin expedition
The British already knew Lagos was Yorubaland

lawani:
What is the name of the war? During the reign of which King? Remember also that invading Lagos island from Benin would not have been a small undertaking. They will need to come through the sea. If there was war, the locals would have had it in their history. Any confrontation with the local Aworis would have seen Lagos island swept into the sea

lawani:
I have no idea

lawani:
There was no invasion. Lagos island started as a venture to export palm oil. The land was granted by the Awori and the investors were the Ijesa and the Benin. They were to produce two foremen each but the Ijesa gave their slot to the Portuguese. The Benin produced the supervisor that became the King. The priest that sanctified and established the town was Ijesa. When the first King died, they made the son of the Ijesa priest the king. That was Ologunkutere. However the Benin that came to Lagos were Yoruba speaking Benin unlike now that the Benin no longer speak Yoruba.
