LorDBolton: Well you do have a point. However it would be more apt if it were a question of formidability of foes faced. Yes any African who came into direct conflict with more advanced European colonizer a lost.hence oyo, Benin ..... And even sokoto!! Don't forget that sultan attahiru was beaten In the battlefield by a British controlled expedition force. But what is different now is the level of sophistication the British faced with regards to large scale ruling structures. Man if the British came to colonize and not trade in the 15 th or 16th centuries they would have faced the same thing in Benin and oyo.... Yet you see how the case was different in the 19th and 20th centuries. Cos both were in decline. Before I go off point I just want to say that the level of consolidation of large scale- rule structures runs much deeper in the sahel than in the more tropical zones. The British did in fact defeat sokoto and Borno( after the French beat Rabah zubayr) but the issue of penetration was going to be hard. The Islamic autocratic structures that flourished from the Mediterranean to the Sahel ensure much more administrative control and coordination. Not to say that oyo or Benin weren't sophisticated, but they did not dominate more than the sahelians west Africa-speaking. I mean even sokotos lieutenants sacked oyo-Ile didn't they ? On the issue of on the ground west African polities Sahelians are the embodiment of dominance. Not excellence , dominance !!! |

Eastactivist: If you are not selfish we what you have another person will take it away from you. saying Lagos must support other states is the same as saying a rich person must support a poor person.. other states get their own allocation let them use their own allocation wisely.. |

Land owners pay land use tax... so igbos are welcome to own 90% of the lands in Lagos but in the end they pay tax to the yorubas... so igbos can keep "developing" other peoples land and at the same time paying tax to those people..

Lagos like I said is in position to assist and help other member state not disfranchise them indirectly with that kind of bills. And for your own benefit, Lagos is independent of the allocation. The internal revenue got from taxes is its strength not mere paltry allocation. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

OBAGADAFFI: Unfortunately for you and your kind with such ignorant and childish understanding. Lagos being transit or entry point for goods means nothing and contributes little or nothing to Lagos state. In what way anything landing in n Lagos contributes anything? Are all the goods going to be sold and consumed in Lagos or is Lagos taxing the buyers and sellers of the same goods in your village, in Kano, maiduguri, lokoja, enugu, ondo or oyo . What is the meaning of this thoughtless and bogus argument? Lagos state's economic power is from industries, factories, banking and finance, goods and services, entertainment and so on and these activities was there before independence and before Nigeria as a country and even the same reason the FC was moved there in the first place.

You see why I said everyone should invest in his origin before investing in Lagos... Because ungrateful souls like you will want to harness every goodies to themselves.... I tend to ask, Why are all Yoruba's omonilies even in their thinking and education they are parasites and think only for themselves not minding their humble lame beginning and the fingers that fed them. I spit on them one by one they don't deserve any goodwill from other ethnicities... No wonder the bail failed woefully...

arisanate: it is easy to call a Yoruba guy coward via an online forum. Most of the leaders mentioned were in fact corrupt. The people of South Western Nigerian (not just Yorubas, Igbos included, many of them reside in the SW and they love it!) are the most open minded and progressive people on the African continent. They are not easily swayed by emotional appeal, not even money, each man thinks for himself in anticipation of the overall progress of the country. Unlike some people we know, we are not easily drawn into war, we have 16 years civil war history to prove that. You are indeed an ethnocentric fool if you believe violence is the only way to achieve vengeance. Whatever the Northern leaders did in the past, their people are still paying for it via the Boko Haram insurgency and their many miseries up North. People like you irritate me. 2 Likes |

DerrickzB: I believe that is their way a requesting more independence. Federalism will happen eventually and the rejection of this bill is a sign of whats to come. To be objective, I find Eastern secession as a joke! if there is any place that has the power to secede in Naija, it is Lagos state (am not talking about Yoruba people alone). This is because it has enough cultural heritage, financial might and can easily muster a loyal army which is NOT divided along tribal lines. So yes it is quite ethical, Lagos already carries the baggage of the cost of economic activities in Nigeria, why should the state not enjoy 1% of the national cake, it is her divine right! Which states in Naija can boast of a melting point of Naija cultures. Most of these other states are run by oligarchs. |
