TRUE HISTORY!
There was no Lagos state in 1960. What we had was Lagos Federal Capital (former Lagos Colony).

That is the problem when leaders deliberately muddle things up for the young ones.

Lagos's Capital of 1960 was Isale Eko, Victoria Island, Ikoyi and part of Apapa.

Ketu, Ojota, Somolu, Bariga, Yaba, Isolo, Ikeja, Alimosho, Ipaja, Ikorodu, Epe, Lekki, Ajah, Badagary, Mushin, Agege were all in Western State.

**Lagos states was only created in 1967. **And let me tell you the callous intention of what Gowon did in creating Lagos State.

Obafemi Awolowo created industrial estates in Ikeja, Isolo, Iganmu, Ilupeju and co when those places were in Western State.

*Gowon simply merged the industrial estates Awolowo created with Lagos Colony to form Lagos State in 1967. Awolowo created those industrial estates with cocoa money.*

Lagos State is made up of 5 districts of Ikeja, Badagry, Ikorodu, Lagos (Isale Eko) and Epe. Only one was Lagos Colony of 1914 to 1960. And that is Lagos Island. The remaining 4 districts were in Western Region.

So when some people tell you their usual trash that they made Lagos or that Lagos was a former capital or that Lagos is no man's land, please don't join them.

What took my dad to Lagos was the industrial estate Awolowo created, not the federal capital. The same is the story for over 90% of the people in the state today.

The Carther Bridge is the only bridge linking Lagos Colony to Western Region. It was after Ojukwu attempted to blow it up that Awolowo facilitated the building of the Eko Bridge in 1975. Awolowo as the finance minister and de-facto number 2 to Gowon revolutionized the infrastructural development of the new Lagos state.

Lagos fed migrants. _Amun ni ilu Eko._ It never dries, it feeds everybody.

Look around Lagos State today, all you see are the works of Awolowo, Jakande and Tinubu. After God who created Lagos strategically, Awolowo, Jakande and Tinubu made it what it is today. Know this and know peace.

Lovely post.

Ellu P, top to bottom.

ALL THE 36 CAPITAL CITIES OF THE FEDERATION OF NIGERIA ARE FEDERAL CAPITAL TERRITORIES, LAGOS INCLUSIVE.
ALL THE 36 STATE GOVERNORS OF THE FEDERATION ARE FIRST LINE MINISTERS OF MR. PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA.
IT'S THE RESPONSIBILITY OF MR. PRESIDENT TO DEVELOP THOSE CAPITAL CITIES LIKE ABUJA. THE ROADS LEADING TO THOSE CAPITAL CITIES ARE FEDERAL ROADS

Instead of this rodent brained subhuman to be concerned about being free from corrupt leaders like Ikpeazu, Orji Kalu, Uzodinma, Ugwuanyi, etc, you are masturbating about Tinubu. No worry, the fight that will force your people out of na man's land is coming and please know this that you started it.

Leave your home to other megacities around the World with the same population size When you come back to Lagos you will curse Tinubu till eternity.

HydraFeeds:
pls try to make any other state in Nigeria comparable to other mega cities in the world first,especially your home state before you talk of Lagos state .

His response to the revelation that one man has stolen the inheritance of his unborn generation is that other Nigerian States should increase their population size too. Why do people reply these urchins! They're obviously irredeemable
