LagosOrigin:
The President's Special Adviser on Policy Communication was asked about the alleged lopsided ₦3.9trillion spent on infrastructure in Lagos in the last two years vis-a-vis other States of the Federation
Let me tell you why Lagos State is different, Lagos State is a no man's land. In the last election, the President who is from the South West did not win Lagos, that tells you the cosmopolitan nature of Lagos.

Secondly, the richest man in Africa is a Northerner. His business is not in Kano, it's in Lagos. Almost every rich man you know in Nigeria has his business undertaking in Lagos and the Nigerian people are represented in Lagos. You go to Lagos and if not probably majority of the people are Yoruba-speaking, you will wonder whether Lagos indeed is from the South West.

A4alpha:
Double tongue vampires, it is good to call Lagos a no man's land by some while at the mention of Lagos a no man's land by a certain segment is seen as an aberration. Now this man or the so-called FG is using the same slangs (aberration) that the terrorist (APC) party is now using to deal with that segment as a cover to justify their lopsided allocations to Lagos state and no one see nothing wrong with it.

Jealously is disease and who pass you don pass you any day any time no matter what.

Ttalk:
Anambra is now officially designated as a no man land as all the convicted criminals in different countries will now be relocated in Anambra state increase their dwindling population

Christistruth03:
In other Words all Yorubas who are indigenes of Lagos should now stop claiming it because it is no longer their Homeland and Yorubas should atop claiming Lagos belongs to their Homeland too?

Don't you see how foolish it sounds

Do you think the Jews will ever stop claiming Jerusalem?

LagosOrigin:
Direct your question at the federal government that said Lagos belongs to all Nigerians .

Do you know better than the federal government?

Christistruth03:
FG never said that


After the British handed back ALL of Lagos back to Awolowo and Yorubas at independence the FG humbly negotiated with them to continue using Lagos as Nigeria's capital

Awolowo insisted that the entire coast of Lagos had to remain under the control of the West so FG could not plot a coup with foreigners to invade the West.


Oya wetin you want talk again?

Why do you think British handed back Lagos to Awolowo and Yorubas and not PM Balewa?

It was simply because they knew who the owners of Lagos were and it wasn't Nigeria

LagosOrigin:
Lagos used to a resting place for the colonialists who even named the state "Lagos"

The name Lagos isn't a yoruba name but Portuguese.

So how do you law claim to something you dont own ?

There was even a point I think sometime last year that some parts of Lagos said that they won't be part of South west ..
The records are everywhere .

kettykin:
There are. 2 solutions to Lagos, either split it and remove the former federal capital from Lagos and make it no man's land like Abuja or stop using federal government funds to fund needless projects and allow Lagos state government to carry those projects.

If Atiku or any northerner assumes office and spend N4. Trillion in Abuja projects, that's when you will see the height of hypocrisy from some people from a certain part of Nigeria

koondog:
Exactly. That's Yoruba for you!

Christistruth03:
Your Capital is in Abuja move there
The British Colonial Govt already handed all of Lagos back to Awolowo and the Yoruba people at independence

kettykin:
The will take all the resources of Niger delta and fund Lagos project and turn and around and tell other people that Lagos is for south west and others should go back to their villages. I feel very pathetic for Niger deltans, they are not even speaking out .

PrinceofSarcasm:
Is everything alright with you? what concerns us with Lagos matter? if you are unemployed go get a job.

Lagos was part of what God Almighty had covenanted to the Yoruba race centuries before your people ever knew they existed


If you study Yoruba History we'll you will actually notice that it was through divine Grace that they were led there and it was through very unusual divine grace that the Yoruba Nation itself was founded and established

FG say Lagos is no mans land and so it remains, cry and nack head for ground
