still far better than PDP. A jonathan would not even have had the will to take action. PDP as a party would not have termed the incident an embarrassment. They would have simply shoved it under the carpet. There are instances to buttress this if you need them.

HISTORY OF LAGOS
Lagos (Yoruba: Èkó) is a city in the Nigerian state of Lagos.
The city, with its adjoining conurbation, is the largest in
Nigeria, as well as on the African continent. It is one of the
fastest growing cities in the world and also one of the most
populous urban agglomerations in the world. Lagos is a
major financial centre in Africa; the mega city has the
highest GDP, and also houses one of the largest and busiest
ports on the continent.
Lagos initially emerged as a port city which originated on a
collection of islands, which are contained in the present day
Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Lagos Island, Eti-Osa,
Amuwo-Odofin and Apapa; the islands are separated by
creeks, fringing the southwest mouth of Lagos Lagoon,
while protected from the Atlantic Ocean by barrier islands
and long sand spits such as Bar Beach, which stretch up to
100 km (60 mi) east and west of the mouth. Due to rapid
urbanization, the city expanded to the west of the lagoon to
include areas in the present day Lagos Mainland, Ajeromi-
Ifelodun and Surulere. This led to the classification of Lagos
into two main areas - the Island, which was the initial city of
Lagos, before it expanded into the area known as the
Mainland. This city area was governed directly by the
Federal Government through the Lagos City Council, until
the creation of Lagos State in 1967, which led to the splitting
of Lagos city into the present day seven Local Government
Areas (LGAs), and an addition of other towns (which now
make up 13 LGAs) from the then Western Region, to form
the state.
Lagos which was the capital of Nigeria since its
amalgamation in 1914, went on to become the capital of
Lagos State, after its creation. However, the state capital
was later moved to Ikeja in 1976, while the federal capital
also moved to Abuja in 1991. Even though Lagos is still
widely referred to as a city, the present day Lagos, also
known as "Metropolitan Lagos", and officially as "Lagos
Metropolitan Area" is an urban agglomeration or
conurbation, consisting of 16 LGAs, including Ikeja, the state
capital of Lagos State. This conurbation makes up 37% of
Lagos State's total land area, but houses about 85% of the
state's total population. The population of Metropolitan
Lagos is approximately 20 million as at 2015.
Lagos was originally inhabited by the Awori subgroup of the
Yoruba people in the 15th century, who called it "Oko".
Under the leadership of the Oloye Olofin, the Awori moved to
an island now called Iddo and then to the larger Lagos
Island. In the 16th century, the Awori settlement was
conquered by the Benin Empire and the island became a
Benin war-camp called "Eko" under Oba Orhogba, the Oba of
Benin at the time. Eko is still the native name for Lagos.
Lagos, which means "lakes", was a name given to the
settlement by the Portuguese. The present-day Lagos state
has a high percentage of Awori, who migrated to the area
from Isheri along the Ogun river. Throughout history, it was
home to a number of warring ethnic groups who had settled
in the area. Following its early settlement by the Awori
nobility, and its conquest by the Bini warlords of Benin, the
state first came to the attention of the Portuguese in the
15th century.
Portuguese explorer Rui de Sequeira visited the area in
1472, naming the area around the city Lago de Curamo.
Another explanation is that Lagos was named for Lagos,
Portugal – a maritime town which, at the time, was the
main centre of Portuguese expeditions down the African
coast.
In Britain's early 19th century fight against the transatlantic
slave trade, its West Africa Squadron or Preventative
Squadron as it was also known, continued to pursue
Portuguese, American, French, and Cuban slave ships and
to impose anti-slavery treaties with West African coastal
chiefs with so much doggedness that they created a strong
presence along the West African coast from Sierra Leone all
the way to the Niger Delta (today's Nigeria) and as far south
as Congo. In 1849, Britain appointed John Beecroft Consul
of the Bights of Benin and Biafra, a position he held (along
with his governorship of Fernando Po) until his death in
1854. John Duncan was appointed Vice Consul and was
located at Wydah. At the time of Beecroft's appointment,
the Kingdom of Lagos (under Oba Kosoko) was in the
western part of the Consulate of the Bights of Benin and
Biafra and was a key slave trading port. In 1851 and with
pressure from liberated slaves who now wielded political
and business influence, Britain intervened in Lagos in what
is now known as the Bombardment of Lagos or Capture of
Lagos resulting in the installation of Oba Akitoye (and the
ouster of Oba Kosoko) who signed Treaty Between Great
Britain and Lagos, 1 January 1852. The signing of the 1852
treaty ushered in the Consular Period in Lagos' history
wherein Britain provided military protection to Lagos.
Following threats from Kosoko and the French who were
positioned at Wydah, a decision was made by Lord
Palmerston (British Prime Minister) who noted in 1861, "the
expediency of losing no time in assuming the formal
Protectorate of Lagos". William McCoskry, the Acting Consul
in Lagos with Commander Bedingfield convened a meeting
with Oba Dosunmu on July 30, 1861 aboard HMS
Prometheus where Britain's intent was explained and a
response to the terms were required by August 1861.
Dosunmu resisted the terms of the treaty but under the
threat to unleash violence on Lagos by Commander
Bedingfield, Dosunmu relented and signed the Lagos Treaty
of Cession on August 6, 1861.
The remainder of modern-day Nigeria was seized in 1887,
and when the Colony and Protectorate of Nigeria was
established in 1914, Lagos was declared its capital,
continuing as such after the country's independence from
Britain in 1960. Along with migrants from all over Nigeria
and other West African nations were the returnee ex-slaves
known as Creoles, who came from Freetown, Sierra Leone,
Brazil and the West Indies to Lagos. The Creoles contributed
to Lagos' modernisation and their knowledge of Portuguese
architecture can still be seen from the architecture on Lagos
Island. Electric street lighting was introduced in the city in
1898. Lagos experienced rapid growth throughout the
1960s and 1970s as a result of Nigeria's economic boom.
Before the creation of Lagos State on 27 May 1967, Lagos,
which was the country's capital had been administered
directly by the Federal Government as a Federal Territory
through the Federal Ministry of Lagos Affairs, while the
Lagos City Council (LCC) governed the city. Lagos, along
with the towns from the then Western region (Ikeja, Agege,
Mushin, Ikorodu, Epe and Badagry), were eventually
captured to create Lagos State. Lagos city was split into the
present day seven Local Government Areas(LGAs), while the
other towns now make up 13 LGAs in the state. Lagos
played the dual role of being the State and Federal Capital
until 1976, when the state capital was moved to Ikeja. Lagos
was adversely affected during Nigeria's military rule. Also,
on 12 December 1991, the seat of the Federal Government
was also formally relocated to Abuja. However, Lagos still
remains the financial centre of the country, and also grew to
become the most populous conurbation in the country.

They guy sharp but honestly tribalism makes people look stupid. I look at the culprits and I see shortsightedness

Only foools are blinded by tribal sentiment. Tribalism is a success killer.
I will share this story of which I am a witness as it is happening currently. It could happen anywhere but I will mention the tribes involved.

This Igbo guy has been with this company for 7 years. He is intelligent. In fact all the new products that this company has introduced into the market in the last 5 years has been birthed by this guy, and he developed them too.
Then came this new MD who is Yoruba who came along with her own set of people and gradually started displacing the old successful hands. And the fortunes of the company started dwindling sharply.

They noticed this guy, and they knew he was very instrumental to the company's diverse products yet that Tribalism monster that lives in her and the people she brought didn't want to rest. They first of all moved his office out of the main Admin block. The guy saw the signals and immediately started hunting for job. No sooner did he start than he landed a job offer in a company 10 times bigger and better than the present one.

The guy just relaxed to watch how things will unfold. The straw that broke the camel's back was when they sent a mail last week and copied the whole staff that he will be reporting to a lady who just joined a company without informing him. I don't know if they wanted to disgrace him or what. Note that he is a manager.

24 hours later, he sent his resignation letter. As I type this, all the management team are still begging him to rescind his decision, offering him more money and improved work welfare.

But alas, the guy refused. He is leaving and that is final. Meanwhile all the about 10 new products touted to be fantastic which the company is about to introduce by next month is right in this guy's office. But Tribalism blinded this people not to see that.

Tribalism is very bad. But again, Buhari is a culprit.

The Senate, yesterday, considered and passed, for second reading, a Bill for an Act requiring regular publication of existing vacant positions in Federal Government offices to ensure transparency and equal opportunities to all Nigerians in the recruitment of new personnel.

The bill, entitled, “Existing Vacancies in the Federal Civil Service (Publication) Bil” is in line with the determination of the 8th Senate to create an enabling environment through legislation that would not only generate, but also ensure that all qualified job seekers were given access to take advantage of employment opportunities in the country.

The bill is sponsored by Deputy Senate Minority Whip, Senator Biodun Olujimi (PDP, Ekiti South).

In the lead debate, yesterday, Senator Olujimi saidwith the Bill, it would be an offence to fill any vacant position in any ministry, parastatal, corporation, government department, etc unless it was in accordance with the provisions of this Act.

Meanwhile, Senate President Bukola Saraki, who noted that the bill was for the people, said it would help Nigerians “have a sense that they could apply and have a fighting chance for available jobs.”

According to him, the Senate will ensure that the bill was fast-tracked to help in the project of the unity of Nigeria.

He mandated the Senate Committee on Establishment and Public Service to carryout further legislative actions on the bill and report back in four weeks.
