Is it our fault now that British came to pillage and carried out a genocide on our land? Did we invite the British? Didn’t they see other places to rule and control before choosing us?
It’s because we offered what the rest of you couldn’t.

The dispute between rival obas of LAGOS ,led to the annexation of LAGOS. Essentially one oba sold out and invited the British

okpouman:
Most of it was thick forest, nobody is disputing the native land rights but the fact that it was Yorubas that built LAGOS as alleged by some people.

LAGOS has native land owners,the awori and egun but LAGOS was built by Nigeria and NIGERIANS

That is big big fake News
Lagos was already a well recognised international port before Nigeria became a country

ycat:
How can you create existing towns with indigenous already in there before you came?
Just a question.
Just because you come and rent a room in a house does not make you the owner of the house. The federal govt was a tenant. Lagos was never up for sharing, it’s some people’s hometown which you were lucky to come to as greener pastures and refuge for your people. You and the federal govt came to Lagos because there was and still food available there, this is why you people can’t get over it 34 years after the capital was moved out.

Abuja was created from existing towns also,there were indigenes also,that doesn't take away the fact that Abuja was built by Nigeria and not the indigenes

The British used Fernando po port,now Bioko in equatorial Guinea as their main port in the region until the Spanish claimed it before they turned to establish a main port in LAGOS in 1913. The British did everything for LAGOS, the Yorubas never built any single port

fuckingAyaya:
This one doesn't talk about his own state, man ain't proud of his origin

He always claim to be Itsekiri, he can't mention his LGA

We Urhobos in Warri South LGA is waiting for him patiently.

GodPunishOsu:
Ikorodu,epe and Abule Egba was part of capital also?

When where they added to form Lagos please?
Therein is the answer

Ofunaofu:
Reno Omokri, the rábble-rousér, is now rewriting history by claiming that the former capital of Nigeria was Lagos Island and not Lagos.

Truly, Reno Omokri is now a mádmán, róaming aimléssly

Which state does Lagos Island belong to? Does it belong to Ogun state or it’s a separate state from Lagos? 🤣🤣🤣

GodPunishOsu:
You still haven't answer my question,will you say Nasarawa was once capital as you are claiming in Lagos own now?

oga, if Abuja is renamed if merged with Nassarawa and your new Nassarawa continues to exist as the capital for another many decades, YES, Nassarawa will be known as the capital.

ycat:
Yes they’re Yoruba creations because federal govt had no money of its own, it took our money as the richest region to build these for its own use. We were never compensated for the land, and just like the colonialists, the federal govt could only take the liquid loots along when it was time to leave, and never a physical structure and that was why you heard a few “handing over” ceremonies in the past, cos if Yoruba take federal govt to ICC as an occupying force, we will win.

It's was oil boom money from the nigerdelta not Yoruba money, who dash you richest region y'all been deceived

No, Yoruba’s money was used to develop the oil, but Yoruba haven’t taken a kobo from the oil money even though we have oil too. We’re spending less than 20% of the money we contribute. This is what you all know but won’t admit, because you think we’re fools. Let Nigeria go regional where we all keep our money to ourselves, it’s then you will know that Yoruba are the ones floating you.

The British called us the richest and the influx of you and your mama both walking and crawling to my region confirms that, not to talk of the money generated from my land.

okpouman:

The only Oba in Lagos before British came in 1851 was Awujale and he didn’t invite the British. So I don’t know where you got Oba rivals in Lagos from.

Who paid for the Biafra war?
How was Nigeria able to pay for the war and come out without debt
No one was selling oil during the war
Oil did not build the Niger bridge
Lagos was carrying Nigeria since 1898 and seeing money to London during the world war

Oil became an issue AFTER 1973

So when you say who DasH you I say EDUCATION

The port of Lagos has been generating wealth since the 19th century

When the Niger Delta was hunting periwinkle there were street lights in Lagos. BEFORE 1900

I think Calabar was the first capital of Nigeria before Yoruba people took it down to Lagos.
Let us go back to regions please.

Take this to CHATGPT or other tool

difference between passports of Colony of lagos and Protectorate of Nigeria passports

Before independence in 1960 People still needed passports to travel and those of the Colony were different

What was the Colony? Territory agreed in the Treaty of 1861 by the ELEKO OF EKO


Lagos. State created by Gowon In 1967 was different

Thus that word Lagos. as far as Colony is concerned was Territory that was under the Eleko later called Oba of Lagos That Territory became the capital of Nigeria in 1914 and remained so till 1991
It is NOT Lagos State

So when next you hear Eko Idumota know that Eko is that. LAGOS that was capital for77 years

Nigerdeltans were great oil palm traders,stop all these,Lagos was never a match to nigerdelta, LAGOS was built by the British prior to independence and the FG after that

The seat of government was LAGOS island but the greater LAGOS was developed for the creation of a capital city,there's no capital city in the world that is just a small area,all capital cities of countries especially large ones are big cities, Nigerias capital couldn't have been restricted to just a small area,it's practically impossible.

There were several obas right from gabaro to oba dosunmu or akitoye who sold LAGOS to the British

Do not just argue your wishes or desires bring facts
All capital cities are not big cities
What is the capital of Ivory Coast Switzerland Canada Australia
They are very small Canada and Australia are among the largest countries on earth
You are just guessing cluelessly

Stop making up imagination ignorantly

What is greater Lagos?
Why don't you talk about Greater Enugu Oyo Kano Sokoto Kaduna because those states bear the same name as one of their towns

You people just make up stuff and you think you are making sense

Argue with facts not rationalisation

Lagos State was created in 1967

Lagos State is a State it is NOT a city

It is different from Lagos City the former capital

Before the creation of Lagos state In 1967

Ikeja division
Epe Division
Badagry Division
Ikorodu Division

WERE PART OF THE WESTERN REGION UNDER AWOLOWO
THE BOUNDARY WAS THE RAILWAY CROSSING AFTER OJUELEGBA AT IDIORO
You conveniently forget it is a state with different and separate towns LGAs and rulers
You come from God knows where and start telling us our history

You could say the same thing about America Australia Canada etc
So what?

Capital cities are big cities,Abidjan was originally the capital of ivory coast before it was moved and it's legacy continues like LAGOS.

The so called boundary thing ended in 1967 and only lasted for few years before that.The federal government has estates like Festac,satellite town( which still houses estates of several government agencies including NNPC, CBN ,nepa etc) ,there were several other FG establishments and infrastructure scattered around LAGOS,which spurred the rapid development of Lagos more than anywere else, more so ,the most developed part of Lagos today,which is the heart of Lagos is the island ,the so called erstwhile capital,which remains the nucleus of what makes Lagos, LAGOS.

You can't wish away the influence of the former capital of NIG being in LAGOS, Western region only lasted a few years.


Without the LAGOS island,Lagos will probably be in the status of a port Harcourt

epe,ikorodu badagry division till date do not make the core LAGOS. LAGOS island and mainland plus apapa,amuwo-odofin makes the core LAGOS and they were part of the erstwhile capital Lagos

Capital cities are not always big
I gave you 4 examples Abidjan Is not the capital of Ivory Coast no one asked you for a lecture
Bern the capital of Switzerland is tiny

You said big countries have big capital. Did you? Yes or no
Canada is bigger than AMERICA Ottawa is small
Canberra is small

Your claim is fault you are dishonest and unreliable
We cannot take you seriously

The Federal government has Housing estates in Owerri Port Harcourt and all over the country

So what? Does that make Owerri the capital of Nigeria?

You keep bringing up irrelevant stuff showing disorganised and illogical thinking

You say something stopped in 1967. Where is evidence because you wish it is so?

Did anything change because Enugu state was created
Did the whole stage become a bigger Enugu?

Define it? Who agreed to that
Is there a core Anambra or
Core Ebonyi or core Abia


Anyway you are contradicting yourself

The point is that The capital of Nigeria was the Colony of Lagos established in 1914 in 1967
Lagos State was created by adding territory from Western Nigeria
Badagry division
Ikeja Division
Ikorodu Division
Epe Division
I

Lagos state was never capital of Nigeria

Amuwo-odofin was partof Badagry Division and part of the Western Region
It was not part of the capital. It was not part of Lagos Division


You cannot bring Ibo stronghead to come and tell us our history

There is nothing like core because you think there is or should be

Amuwo-odofin was in the old Western Region

okpouman:

The worst thing you can do is when you don't know and you try to use Ibo stronghead to pretend you know

I will help you

The former capital is made up up 5 Local Government Areas
1. Lagos Island
2. Lagos Mainland
3. Apapa
4.Eti Osa
5. Surulere

That is it in summary

All development in amuwo-odofin started from 1967 after Western region, spurred mainly by FG, eg Festac,Festac extension, satellite, navy town etc.

I meant big countries by population not geographical size, Canada is a relatively small country population wise,as well as Switzerland, again all populated countries have big capitals ,most of your so called Western region area of today's Lagos were deep forest, it was the FG that opened them up

Western region control stop 1967 and even prior to that Yoruba rule of the Western region was only for a brief period about 1954 to 1967.


LAGOS ,the whole if Lagos was the capital of Nigeria.

Core means mainstream or most developed parts of LAGOS.

Where does that definition of core mean
You don't write like you went to school
The subject is

Lagos state was never the Capital
You said there is some thing called. core Lagos and you say it means mainstream what is that?

Did the Federal government build Housing estate in Owerri ot Calabar or Enugu

So why is Festac special
So building Festac makes that area capital
Why does estate in Egbeada not make Owerri capital of Nigeria ?

The point
Most developed? according to whom
What is development what does that mean
