"It's a very big insult to say Lagos is a No Man's Land"

-Hon. Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour [ADC]

GRV argues the quote 'Lagos is a No Man's Land' is a political agenda to stir tribalism as a distraction to divide and conquer the people.

Lagos is a no man's land lateef Jakande said it amd it was coined as law from that day henceforth

Nothing in this world can change that status given to lagos by its best governor since time immemorial . . . NOTHING ask the Chinese if its true or not 😏
If I get it, you are one "Ajokuta ma mumi". Well, how many plots of land or houses have u sold to a Yoruba man in the East?





I am waiting for the usual tears to drop into my waiting cup 🥤 🙃

ResidentSnitch:
An insult but the truth.
No one particular group can claim sole ownership of Lagos.
Lagos is a no man's land.

smallsmall:


"No Man's Land" statement was said by a very tiny fraction of Igbos in Lagos but the APC weaponized it to seem as if it was the position of all Igbos in Nigeria, so they can galvanized Yorubas to support Sanwo Olu's re-election in 2023, after Tinumbu lost th Presidential aspect in Lagos, to Peter Obi.

APC is responsible for the Ethnic Hatred, Tribalism and Bigotry being experienced between Igbos and Yorubas

Encyclopedia1:
Can A yoruba man say the same thing in Onitsha?

Christistruth03:
Calabar and Lokoja were former Capitals of Nigeria
By the way Lagos Island that was capital is less than 1% of Lagos State

99% of Lagos was in the Western region
It included the entire Coast of Lagos.

Lagos Island is inside the Lagos Lagoon
It was surrounded by the Western Region

ResidentSnitch:
Why would you even think that of Onitsha?
Everyone knows who own Onitsha. You can't say same about Lagos. That is why it has always been in contention.

Encyclopedia1:
Are u serious right now? Y dont u just move Lagos closer to Onitsha..... Una sha like deciving unaselfs..... A day is coming, it will be no visa no entry......

ResidentSnitch:
Read my lips if you can.
Igbos have been through far worse. Far far worse. You should be more afraid of what your people who have so far had it very easy would likely experience.
Edo people are dragging Lagos, and would claim it in an instant if the opportunity presents, there are the Eguns, several other tribes are there who are not even Yorubas, then the Hausas are there by the side watching you lay claim to what there ancestors laboured for...
What does that tell you?
Count your teeth with your tongue and check if they are complete.

Encyclopedia1:
Oga, una go de try ni, una no fit chop. No be for Lagos.... Lagos is a Yoruba land and there is nothing any of you can do about it. No wonder the Chinese have been given concessions over you in Lagos. Ask your brothers.

ResidentSnitch:
Ehe... The Chinese are there too. It's just a matter of time before they buy up everywhere and start determining who will govern Lagos or not.
If Igbos can't compete favorably in Lagos, then so be it; because even the Yorubas won't be able to survive there.
It's a no man's land. Get used to it.

Carry yourself back to your village

What is your business with Yorubas and Lagos ?

Is it your Lagos ?

ResidentSnitch:
You wey be South African? You were everywhere on the forum supporting the xenophobic attacks by SA against other Africans, including Yorubas.
Now it has come to the issue of Lagos, you've suddenly turned into an emergency Yoruba lover.
We know your type and any true Ọmọlúàbí will sniff you out easily.

Calabar was never the capital of Nigeria, but it served as the capital of the British Southern Nigeria Protectorate from 1900 until 1906 and never all of Nigeria.

Lagos Island was only the primary location and core administrative seat, but the capital territory also included adjacent areas like Ikoyi, Victoria Island, and parts of Ebute Metta/Iddo during various stages of colonia independence administration for decades up until 1991.

Saying only Lagos island was capital is not only a false , misleading account but also implying that only Aso rock area of Abuja is capital of Nigeria.

Christistruth03:
Calabar was the Capital of Nigeria !!!!
It was from there that the North was subdued and ruled !!!!!

BadBradley:
Dr that's emotion speaking not facts.

There was no entity called Nigeria in 1900 and 1906.

This is how you people spread lies and propaganda on the internet.

Christistruth03:
Those are the facts

Kano and Sokoto were conquered in 1903 and they were ruled from Calabar !!!!!!!
Lokoja ,Zaria , Benue and Plateau were already under British rule before then and they
We’re all ruled from Calabar!!
Calabar was the Capital !!!!

BadBradley:
please site your source that Calabar was Nigeria's capital.

No more emotions

Christistruth03:
Calabar was the first Capital of Nigeria
It was from Calabar that Zaria Kano and Sokoto were subdued
and ruled by the British

It was after Lord Lugard could not cope with administration of the North from Calabar in the South that he created Northern Nigeria Protectorate

BadBradley:
you brought a state tourism guide book as proof? Really?

Alright, I accept. I agree. Now in what year was Calabar capital of Nigeria?

BadBradley:
I see you siting a page form a teenage account. I just simply ask , what year was Calabar Nigeria's capital?

Christistruth03:
Lord Lugard himself called Calabar as his Administrative Headquarters while he was in Sokoto and Kano !!!!

It was because the urgent letters from the British Colonial Office took longer to reach him through Calabar that he started looking for another Headquarters and had to settle on Lagos again

Even before Colonisation there was already a well travelled Road between Kano and Lagos and also Kano to Sokoto


There was no road between Kano and Calabar
In fact Lord Lugard and his Army reached Kano on Horseback from Calabar

BadBradley:
you just won't answer a simple question: what year was Calabar capital of Nigeria?

You keep deflecting, dodging and evading a simple question because you know Nigeria did not exist between 1900-1906 when Calabar was the headquarters of British colony of the Southern protectorate of Nigeria.

Below is your education in history:

Calabar served as the administrative center for the Oil Rivers Protectorate in 1884. The Niger Coast Protectorate in 1893, and the early Protectorate of Southern Nigeria in 1900–1906

In 1906, the British moved the capital of the Southern Protectorate from Calabar to Lagos..

When Nigeria became a country from 1914, Lagos retained and was Nigeria's first Capital until it was moved in 1991 to Abuja.

Misleading historical accounts like this is quite dangerous for Nigerians and Nigeria.
