LAGOS was that way because it was ruled and controlled by the British from 1861

okpouman:
Festac,satellite town,Gowon estate,navy town Ojo, so many other places that were created by the FG which spread development outwards, are they Yoruba creations? The Yoruba has and had equal appropriate contributions to LAGOS as every other ethnicities in Nigeria

National Theater is on Lagos Island
FESTAC city is on Lagos Island
Ojo Military barracks is on Lagos Island
Apapa port is on Lagos island
Tin Can port is on Lagos island

For those of you that said Lagos ports were a point of trade before the colonial masters. I hope you know it was Badagry port that was the point used then. Badagry was the major trade point and the military govt built the other new ports that are used in Lagos as we speak.

okpouman:
It started from Lagos island but was not restricted to Lagos island, Lagos expanded from there.Lagos mainland( surulere,ebutemetta,yaba etc) was also part of the capital,the far flung places like epe,ikorodu agege ( which were the western region) are even till today not mainstream LAGOS

No tribe was mentioned, even the person talking claims to be of some Lukumi tribe. But typically, a chest beater must come out to make empty threats. The South East generates the least revenue in IGR and tax. Here are top businesses in Lagos, not to mention fintechs. But it's a free world.

esnbrutality:
So Lagos Island alone was the administrative capital of NIGERIA right. This administrative capital is situated in where?

So invariably..Abuja as FCT ..is wrong. So Mataima is the administrative Capital of NIGERIA abi?

Chai...chai...Chai!!!!!!..

God go help una.

StUriah:
Have you forgotten that he ascended to the throne by participating in the traditional rituals? The Oba himself must have consumed ritual items in the process & I can say categorically that he was an Ogboni/Osugbo member. Otherwise, he won't become the king.

Now that he was buried according to Islamic rites, the Osugbo will proceed with proper burial according to the tradition of the Ijebu people. Whatever that needed to be taken from him would be taken. The next Oba will also be initiated & fed with souls & flesh of his predecessors.

ycat:
The Osugbo completed their rites before the announcement of Awujale’s death and will return at midnight for the last step.

Yorubaland has “stagnated” since independence doesn’t quite stack up when you look at today’s numbers. Here’s the reality:

Yorubaland is actually doing quite well

Lagos alone clocks in at a GDP of over \$250 billion in 2025, bigger than around 40 African countries, with nearly 50% growth in just five years under Governor Sanwo‑Olu thanks to PPPs, a booming tech scene, and infrastructure investment .

The Southwest (all six states) contributes \~25% of Nigeria’s total GDP, with a combined regional GDP over \$250 billion .
Per‑capita GDP rankings place Oyo at about \$2,560, Ondo at \~\$6,077, Ogun \~\$5,288, Osun \~\$2,691, firmly in the upper‑middle range nationally .

No problem
We still have 16 vehicles available to use any for the coalition. The party is just a vehicle as obi proved it in last election. The SW president and his moles have been dashed two parties...pdp and labour.
The coalition will announce the vehicle at last minute when it will be late for SW president to plant his moles..lol
And if you come rigging in 2027.We will definitely count the person. The North is not joking with what they are doing with SW president Bill boards today in kaduna

Emeskhalifa:
Just some few questions.

1. Why does the world need Nuclear weapons in the first place?

2. Why are some countries allowed Nuclear weapons while some cannot and will never be allowed to have?

3. If peace is what we are all about, why can't those with existing nuclear weapons destroy theirs?

4. If they won't destroy all the nuclear weapons in their possession, does that not mean they have a motive for keeping them?

mrvitalis:
This was the same independence the judiciary enjoyed under PDP

Now they can't try it with APC

rainluv:
The question is why the impulsive need to defend on your own part?

Burob:
nothing new, na so that time under Jonathan Ebele, all the top spots for the Niger Delta region were given to the Ijaws, ek Clark was on top of the world then.

Putindbutt:
A bank that was supposed to have been established since 2007, Tinubu came and make it happen in 2025. Tinubu is a step ahead.

ugodson:
If not for gid fatherizm he would do much better than his doing now. Imagine how much tinubu is putting in his pocket as the god father.
This is just my thought

onuman:
The true enemies of Nigeria are those whose policies deprive you three square meals a day, deprive you common electricity, deprive you health care facilities, and worse, cannot stop the Islamic terrorists in Nigeria.

DeLaRue:
You can't declare a shadow cabinet in a Presidential system of government.

In a Presidential system of government, you are effectively declaring an alternative government, and setting a terrible precedent which can lead to chaos.

Next thing, you'll have this being replicated at State level by some other people.

This man knows exactly what he's doing. He is trying to create anarchy. He wants to be arrested for treason so he can raise his profile and claim he is fighting for the people.

Must the words 'shadow cabinet' appear in the name of the organisation you're setting up.

Could he try this under a past military government He would not even try it with a President of Northern extraction. Where was he during Mr Buhari's government.

If you don't like a government, fine. Oppose it, but do so responsibly, without trying to forment chaos.

To make matters worse, Mr Utomi has a very poor record of managing anything. He was MD of Volkswagen Nigeria, but he ran the company aground. Yet, you see him everywhere pontificating like he is the only one who knows the solution to Nigeria's problems.

Whiteshield:
Just imagine the reasoning of something someone carried in the stomach for 9 months.
