Dead the argument that Lagos State was once the capital of Nigeria

It was the capital 100%, mind you, Lagos State was created in 1967 not 1976, Victoria Island was dredged by the Federal not the western region.

Op & yourself are mixing facts & fiction to deceive the gullible.

The problem with you guys is that you analyse and believe your rubbish analysis among yourselves to feel good.

The same people that believes that tinubu developed lagos.

izombie:
Op you are the ignorant one. Ok, which part of abuja is the capital of nigeria? Is it only where aso rock is situated? Wrong!
Lagos as a state was the capital of nigeria but the presidential villa was situated in the island. When was MMA built and where was it built? It was built in lagos the then capital of nigeria. The whole of abuja is the capital of Nigeria not just where aso rock is situated.
Stop shifting goal post. Tinubu never developed lagos.

Actually you are the ignorant one.
The problem with some of you here is that you don't want to learn, you have chosen to stay uder the illusion people before you have been and put you in.

Here you have it.

If you know Lagos State very well, you'll understand where some places Dey in this map

Funny man.

The map include or name any area?

Is there any changes/difference with the current lagos map today?

Like I told you, only your fellow illiterate and slow people from SW will believe your mumu analysis.

Everyone are not daft like you guys.

I errorneously transposed 1967 with 1976 which I have now corrected. But what exactly is your arguement? That Lagos Stete and not Lagos Island was the capital of Nigeria? Do you know of any country in the world that has a province or state as capital? Is DC a state? Is Ottawa a state and is Paris or Madrid or Moscow or Canberra a state? Or is Accra a state? States are never capitals of countries, only cities are and the former capital of Nigeria was Lagos Island and not Lagos State. You shouldn't argue with this irrefutable fact

Chai nawa o

The second map indicate only lagos and other yoruba yoruba/SW region as a whole without indicating the states while the first one indicates the states in the SW.

I thought am even replying enlightened person sef.


Show me the map that only recognized those area you guys mentioned as the only part of lagos then.

Or are you trying to say that only the lagos capital was the recognized FCT then?

Just like saying that only Aso rock is the Nigeria capital not Abuja as a whole.

Educated illiterates full nairaland o

ajekpaks:


A tottering illiterate like you trying to "re-educate"?

The garbage you wrote up there only goes to show your level of inferiority complex, guilty complex and acute paranoia...

So Lagos Island was the capital and not Lagos state proves what exactly?

Y'all are pathetic

You see, some of you think the purpose of every post is to prove a political point hence you are shaking like someone with Lassa fever. I didn't post to make a point, I posted to educate. Do you know of any country in the world that has a state or province as capital? Only cities are capitals. Is Accra a state,is Washington DC or London or Pretoria or Ottawa a state? Can't you just learn something you did t previously know and be happy?

Bendeco02:

What did you understand from this?

People sef

Since you don't still understand, what that means is that the current lagos state was formed by adding areas of the old western region and the former capital of Nigeria which is currently Know as Lagos Island.
I hope you read this carefully.

Lagos Island was never part of or inside Lagos state till 1991. It was a city adjoing Lagos state
Why is this so hard to sink into your brain? Washington DC is a small city adjoining Virginia and Maryland but not inside any of them. Infact Lagos Island was an administrative territory long before Lagos State was created in 1967 but the island was not part of Lagos state till the FG left for Abuja in 1991. Make una dey read and do small research na, this una ignorance is earth shaking

D way u guys like shifting ground baffles me a lot. Could u put me through during d partitioning of Africa and Nigeria as a whole? Pls do that for me

emmanuelbrown26:

When d colonial.masters changed d name, the whole territory was and is still under Lagos. mak una dey try read history. Just loke somebody saying Nnewi is not under Anambra State

You are very very wrong.

Try and learn before you even behind to make such arrogant comments about people trying to educate you.

The colonial masters made Lagos Island as their capital. The rest of Lagos state was NOT the capital! There was even nothing like Lagos State as at the time

Are you saying that Ikeja, Lekki, Epe and Badagry and Ikorodu were part of Lagos Island?

Globad:

Lagos was mentioned as the FCT then not any particular area.

Just like saying that only Aso rock is the Nigeria capital not Abuja as a whole.

freeborn02:


So, the western region had developed lagos for decades before tinubu came.

Tinubu met an already developed lagos

Tinubu was there since the days on NADECO, he was in the indigenous party of Lagos, before APC, Tinubu is Jakande's protege.

When it comes to issues like this, you will be comparing Nigeria with the United states and other top notch countries of the world. Why don't you compare Nigeria and those countries in terms of good governance, security, opportunities? Those countries see themselves as one irrespective of where any citizen comes from, nothing like tribalism over there. Nonsense comparison.

You don't know there is Oyo and there is Oyo State

You don't know there is Ondo and there is Ondo state.

Travel out of your enclave.

Lagos city is also called Lagos Island.

I ask you, Oba of Lagos, where do you think he stays? Ikorodu? Or mushin?

Do you know there's an Oyo town inside Oyo State and a Lagos inside the present Lagos State? You people are just impervious to learning just because you want to keep pushing a jaundiced narrative. States are never capitals of any country in the world, that alone should tell you Lagos State wasn't the capital of Nigeria, there was a reason the military made Dodan barracks the base of the Heads of State, where is Dodan barracks located?

Bro, you be mumu finally

What was the name of Nigeria capital then?

Did they mention any particular part or area of lagos as the FCT And not the whole lagos?

Secondly; as of then, are those areas you mentioned the only recognized parts of lagos?

If yes drop map and stop being emmotional

Again, you're wrong. This is not about emotions but historical facts that can be verified.

Comparing Aso rock and Abuja to Lagos and Lagos State is actually irrelevant and nonsensical.

The whole of FCT was created as the federal Capital from the beginning and it's nonsensical to isolate Abuja or Aso rock. It's ridiculous

However, Lagos Island was chosen as the federal Capital and not Lagos State. Lagos State DID NOT exist as at the time that Lagos Island was chosen as the federal Capital.

Lagos State was created much later. Perhaps it's the name that's confusing you.

You are wrong.

Lagos State is different from Lagos city or Lagos Island. Calm down and learn.

Lagos State as an entity was never the federal capital. Lagos, or Lagos Island was!

Odibembem:
There is this wrong impression even held by otherwise very educated elites that Lagos State was the capital of Nigeria for so many years till 1991. That is not correct. What was capital of Nigeria was Lagos Island which even did not include Victoria Island. The mainland of today from Ikeja to Ilupeju where all vitually under the western region and only carved into Lagos State when the state was created in 1967. Perhaps to emphasize the difference between the state and the federal capital territory, Ikeja and not Lagos Island was made the capital of Lagos state. All through till 1991, the FG had jurisdiction only on the island and could only collect PAYE tax for residents there while state govt had jurisdiction over the rest of Lagos and collected the PAYE of the residents till d FCT moved to Abuja and the state govt took over jurisdiction of the entire state. Yes, federal presence on the island attracted infrastructure and development to the adjoining towns but but also created urban slums all around the state. However, know the truth, only Lagos Island was capital of Nigeria and not Lagos State.

Exactly! To further buttress your points, that dichotomy also explains why Lagos state could still have a democratically elected governor (in the person of Jakande) while doubling as FCT. Contrast that with Abuja FCT which doesn't have an elected governor but rather an appointed 'FCT minister' who's appointed by the president of the federation.

Globad:


You are wrong.

You only believe your analysis among yourselves.

Is the capital of Nigeria Lagos City or Lagos state as of then?

You guys don't understand or what. I asked him to drop the map as of then. If there's any changes with today's map of lagos then I will quit .

Nawa o

Even as of today, don't we have Abuja main city and rural Abuja.

Will we now assume that the rural part is not part of the FCT?

Bendeco02:


Are you trying to say that only the lagos capital was the recognized FCT then?

Just like saying that only Aso rock is the Nigeria capital not Abuja as a whole.

Ask yourself whether you have sense at all.

1, If you had opened that link and read what was there, you would have noticed that the area's under the old western region were listed and the area under the FCT were also listed. But I am sure you didn't.

2. Abuja was a planned capital by Ibrahim Babangida due to the fact that it is at the heart of the country meaning that it cannot be easily accessed by foreigners whereas Lagos island could be accessed through the sea and land borders. You should also know that Abuja was planed by the International Planning Associates Also, Aso rock is the residence and workplace of the President same with White House while Abuja is the Capital of Nigeria Same as Washington being the capital of the USA.

I would have love to go on and one to educate you but you are already emotional reason for the insult but I would still advice you to make research on this topic as i believe you are not an illetrate.

Bendeco02 and co, we shouldn't rewrite history because it doesn't suit our narratives. You can read more here:

You're not listening.

The capital of Nigeria was Lagos Island. Lagos Island was/is Eko.

Oba of Lagos is actually Oba of Lagos Island and not Oba of Lagos State.

You're just arguing for the sake of argument.

Lagos State was not in existence when Lagos Island or Eko was made the federal capital. It was created in 1976.

The Portuguese gave the name Lagos to the Island and not the whole of today's Lagos State.

What's so hard to understand here and what's the essence of the map you're asking for?

We've named places for you and you're still asking for an irrelevant map.

No one knows everything. You don't know this one. Accept it with gratitude and move on.

Another mumu epistle

Show me where they indicated as of then that the Nigeria FCT is Lagos Island and not the whole lagos?

Nawa o

Na so yorba people be?

With that your mumu assumption I will now say that the current Nigeria FCT is Aso rock, that the rural side are not part of FCT?

Is that so?

DMerciful:
So Awolowo built all the bridges in Lagos and not fg?

Lazy youth. Lagos has 5 districts . Out of the 5, the capital was located only in Lagos Island. The 3rd main land bridge you mentioned is located in Lagos Island. The remaining 4 districts have no single federal facility. Epe, Ikorodu, Ikeja and Badagry, So you can not rewrite history now , that Lagos state developed because it was Federal capital.

So dont force your lies on us
