95% of Lagos state was not part of the federal capital . Most of Lagos was under the administration of Western Nigeria .

Abuja on the other hand was declared FCT and every inch of it belongs to the FG.

Lagos is no longer FCT since IBB moved the capital to Abuja.

Since then, the FG has not in anywhere treated Lagos as a federal capital


The only time Lagos ever was treated fully as a federal capital was during Obasanjo's military junta.

After the return to civilian rule, most of Lagos reverted back to indigenous rule and had an elected civilian governor in the form of Jakande.

So the only time the entirety of Lagos was treated as a federal territory was during the very brief military junta of Olusegun Obasanjo and that was between 1976-1979.

On December 1983, the military struck and truncated our democracy. During this period, late Buhari did all he could to rubbish Lagos by halting the proposed Lagos rail line. No meaniful development was witnessed under Buhari and later IBB and Abacha other than the construction of the Lagos Third mainland bridge and central mosque in downtown Isale Eko.

Abacha came in and totally neglected Lagos and concentrated on developing Abuja.

It was IBB who ordered all heads of MDAs and their appointed ministers to relocate to Abuja and Abacha effectively ordered the entire Civil Service located in the defunct ikoyi secretariat to relocate to the newly constructed Federal Secretariat located in Central Area , Abuja.

The infrastructure investment made by the FG in Lagos pales in comparison to Abuja.

If you are confused were your federal capital is, pls note that it is Abuja and not Lagos.


I wonder why they will now leave Abuja that has "Unity" as it's slogan and be dragging Lagos ?

Paraventure Nigeria is to breakup or rather you are to be granted your exit out of Nigeria with your five states, will you still remain in Lagos and be dragging it with the real owners?

Federal Capital moved to Abuja since over 3 decades now, you'll never see or hear them call Abuja a no man's land because of fear of the Northerners.. that fear is real I kid you not.

Since the July, 1966 Northern counter coup that ended Igbos expansionist agenda in Nigeria and the subsequent civil war from1967 - 1970, the Igbos don't go beyond their boundary in the North.
The only time you see them having mouth is when they get to South West. I don't know what they view Yorubas as, but it's definitely in a degrading manner, yet the Igbos have been the biggest beneficiaries of Yoruba benevolent nature. Most of their successful sons and daughters cut their teeth from Yorubaland, most were born and bred in the West yet they always have this enmity and deep seated hatred for Yorubas anywhere they go.

I have been saying it here that Yorubas need to take back Lagos fully.. the FG handed Lagos Island (which served as FCT) back to LASG when Capital moved to Abuja, any visitor that wants FCT treatment should move to Abuja, not Lagos where such status no longer exist.
This is just common sense.. Yorubas must take charge of our destinies going forward just like it was back then during regionalism before Aguiyi Ironsi came and abolished it.
For crying out loud..Yorubas already had TV station in Ibadan, skyscraper and all sorts of advancements even before most countries in Europe dreamt of such. Now imagine if Yorubas had a separate nation of their own, separate from Nigeria. That nation would have been the undisputed giant of the whole Africa today.

A thread dedicated to ethnic upstarts suffering from a severe combination of Inferiority complex, seige mentality and acute igbophobia... Go and defend Oshogbo, Okitipupa and Akure and stop having igbo nightmares about Lagos, but they won't. You want One Nigeria at all costs, but you want to dictate who should be at where, when and how. Very irritating characters.

Maybe you are the problem. If you don't want unchecked movements into your beuriful Lagos, get yourself a new country, build a wall of jericko at Ore and only issue visas to those with oblong heads like you. Case clised! But the thirst for oil wont allow you to do so. Igbos just celebrated igbo day in Abuja and no Gwari man had a heart attack or a fit of epilepsy over that. The Emir of Kano do invite the Eze Ndigbo of Kano to meetings when he feels so. There's no way he would be feeling threatened by an igbo chief in his domain. That is traditional confidence there..

Na una for the southwest that is alway feeling insecure and attacked once

That means the whole world is igbophobic. A mad man sees every other human as mad only him is correct/sensible. There is something wrong with y'all

Abuja is a no man's land na

That was the agreement, every native people where resettled

You don't need a prophet to tell you that Tinubu supporters flopped at their attempt at raising ethnic tensions, what they're doing now is the last kick of a dying horse. They helped Tinubu lose Lagos again to opposition.

Lagos is already rewriting the history, they can only lament, nothing they can do.

They will be placed in their rightful position sooner rather than later.

Why can’t the whole yorubas, igbos and Hausas agree that Nigeria should break up, since no tribe love themselves

Tell that to your representatives at the senate and federal house to present it and see if people will support it or not.

Until your people do that, its a mirage.

I live outside Nigeria and igbos are well respected and loved all over the world, very liberal set of people unlike your people, I won’t say more because of spambot

What was the purpose of the civil war? I don’t like unity beggars 😁🤣

Say that to those who prohibited it in the first place.

Anytime there's about to be a major election, some Yorubas will start shouting they're saying Lagos is no man's land to wipe up sentiments.

Works all the time. 2027 when Nigerians ought to unite to send the abysmal failure Tinubu packing, all of a sudden, we started hearing Lagos is no man's land narrative. I have not seen anybody of influence made this comment for over 20yrs!

They are really tired now and out of propaganda, knowing the propaganda is not working, anyway they are waiting for Reno to help them out

Abuja is literally the property of the Federal Government of Nigeria.

That's why it is called Federal Capital Territory.

Lagos became developed because it had a natural coastal indentation (harbour) which allowed heavy draft marine vessels easy passage and moorings.

The combination of being a Colonial Capital and seat of government, rapidly increased the rate of urbanisation in Lagos State.

Even if only 5% of the current modern day Lagos State was the seat of government, the other 95% benefitted from its commercial and infrastructural development by virtue of geographical proximity to it.

That's why you Colonial outposts all over the area that is today known as Lagos State and not just in the parts of it that constituted the old seat of Colonial government

The whole world is mad st Nigerians because of stuffs like the underwear bomber, the Adebolajos that beheaded that soldier in Britain, the Internet scammers that started in Lagos, your perennial election of murderers and drug dealers as your presidents, the endemic bad and corrupt leadership that are championed by your uncles since 1966, the Boko Haram, the ISIS, the Al makurahs and co, the epileptic power supply and ofcourse the high poverty rate and the squalid living that characterises the existence of her almost 300 million peoples. Those are the hallmarks of your hold on power for almost a century, Those are the stuffs that make you and your laughable kwantiri the joke and the cl-o-wns of the international community.

So Which of these are caused by the igbos of Nigeria?

You are trying to explain why Lagos is this "developed" to a brainwashed Tilimgbu follower? You think he doesn't know? They all know! Just set of village upstarts that are adept at revisionism. They churn out propaganda at the speed of Iranian missiles. They tell so much lies/propaganda that at certain stages, they start believing their own lies..

BTW, there is nothing like "5%" of Lagos being the federal capital. That is one of their lies. The former federal capital of Nigeria was Lagos. And that encompasess the present day mappings of Lagos! As at 1999 when Abdulsalami Abubakar handed over to Obasanjo, the map of Lagos was the same as that of today.

The capital of the western region is/was Ibadam. And as at today, it evidently doubles as the capital of brown roofs in Nigeria. By far the most underdeveloped amongst the whole 3 regional capitals of post independence Nigeria. That should be their headache, not Lagos. No part of Lagos was developed by these people that abandoned Ibadam their rustic capital. And the whole industrial growth around Otta are nothing but evidence of the economic overflow from Lagos.

We have to always find ways to say the truth to them, no matter how uncomfortable it will make them. Very important before they miseducate the indomie generation

I like as we dey give economic migrants gbasgbos,the thing dey pain dem wella
