christistruth01:There are some inaccuracies here. There was nothing like Ikeja LGA before Lagos state. We had Ikeja division Not clear what you mean by Metropolitan Lagos or which Egba or Ijebu group controlled it Apapa Tin Can Iddo are all part of Lagos division and former FCT territory.Nothing to do with Ikeja Lagos state historically is made up of 5 divisions Lagos Awori Ikeja Awori Badagry Epe Ijebu Ikorodu Ijebu The boundary of the FCT was Idi Oro .Yaba, Ebute Metta,Apapa were all part of the FCT Oyo army control Badagry? When ? The claim that 97% of today's Lagos was Western Region is wrong 4 of 5 divisions were but not Lagos Division which included Amuwo Odofin.Eti Osa,Apapa.Lagos Island and Lagos Mainland up to Idi Oro 1 Like |

omonnakoda: I agree with Ikeja division because I was trying to remember it's exact name that was why I called it Ikeja LGA Ikeja Division actually included many Areas not part of.Ikeja LGA Today The Oyo Army Controlled Badagry when the British Colonial Masters Arrived Badagry and Porto Novo were the Alaafin of Oyo's Sea Ports the Trade route between Badagry and Oyo was called the Egbado Corridor and was Protected by the Oyo Army Even Cotonou was under the Alaafin of Oyo It was while while the Oyo's were busy fighting Power Drunk Afonja and the Fulani at Ilorin that the Dahomey seized the opportunity to recapture Cotonou and it has belonged to Dahomey since then, the King of Dahomey threw everything he had to try to capture Badagry and Porto Novo but the Oyo's held onto it firmly . 1 Like

christistruth01:I see you edited You really do not know what you are talking about Oyo that did not control Ibadan controlled Badagry?I That is nonsense. Where did you get that from? Oyo never controlled Ijebu so how did they control Badagry When the British arrived Oyo empire was defunct. Ibadan was a more significant force |

omonnakoda: The Oyo controlled the Egbado Corridor in the West that leads to Oyo through Ilaro and the Ibarapa Region You do know that the Ilaro are also Ethnic Oyos? So you don't know that the Ibadan are Ethnic Oyos and till today the Olubadan is still a Subject king of the Alaafin of Oyo? The Ibadan Army were the foot Soldiers of the Alaafin of Oyo that fought his Wars for him with their full Chest Let me even shock you more Under Basorun Gaa and Alaafin Abiodun the almost all of Dahomey, Togo and the Accra Area of Ghana were under the Alaafin of Oyo Below is the Map Of the Oyo Empire 1 Like

christistruth01: Omode ni n se o what is the relevance that they are ethnic Oyo? It is not relevant Please stop introducing irrelevancies Oyo is not Ibadan. Neither was in control of Badagry when the British came. There never was a time that Oyo succeeded in subduing the whole of what is now called Yoruba Please explain what you mean by Olubadan being subject king? |

omonnakoda: If they were not Ethnic Oyos the Ibadan wouldn’t be subjects of the Alaafin in the first Place The Alaafin Of Oyo is the Olubadans overlord till today In English it means that The Alaafin Of Oyo is the Olubadans Father Why do you think they call it Oyo State ? Almost everyone there are Ethnic Oyos That Oyo controlled Badagry and Egbado is beyond debate go and read the text books It was Aare Ona Kankanfo Oyabi that Won both Badagry And Porto Novo from the King Of Dahomey The Alaafin made Oyabi the Aare Ona Kakanfo as his reward It is common knowledge that the Egun Of Badagry were under the Protection of the Alaafin Of Oyo 1 Like |

By your logic Ondo Are majority? But the whole of Ekiti was carved of Ondo state It is clear you are a kid Are Ilorin not ethnic Oyo? Are there not ethnic Oyo in Benin republic?

Re: Lagos State Was Never Capital Of Nigeria by omonnakoda: 7:23pm On Jan 05, 2023 |
olisaEze:incorporated? Was this with CAC or whom? We are talking legally so it is important to use correct terminology Two questions 1.What was the official title of the entity that was created in 1914? 2. What was the legal difference between Colony and Protectorate? I have seen colonial passports issued in the 50s Those issued to people born in Lagos Colony were different from the rest of Nigeria https://www.whatpassport.com/countries/United-Kingdom/Passport_and_Nationality/Citizen_of_the_UK_and_Colonies_Passport_(CUKC) Even after independence they were entitled to automatic British citizenship 1 Like |

Re: Lagos State Was Never Capital Of Nigeria by olisaEze(m): 10:24pm On Jan 05, 2023 |
omonnakoda: Before 1960, the entity Nigeria was a British colony, made up of the Southern & Northern Protectorate. With its Administrative hq in Lagos. The Governor-General of the country, Nigeria, after the amalgamation of the Southern & Northern protectorates resided in Lagos, no where else. So correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems as if lagos was already playing the role of capital of the country. |
Re: Lagos State Was Never Capital Of Nigeria by omonnakoda: 10:44pm On Jan 05, 2023 |
olisaEze:You argue blndly. Colony as a word has a legal and ordinary lay meaning In British law 1914 there is a difference between a Protectorate and a Colony Humbly take time to inquire The exonym for Nigeria was The Colony and Protectorate of Nigeria. The Colony=The Colony of Lagos In British law there were fundamental differences. The Colony Treaty for Lagos made it a Crown Possession/dependent Territory.This is relevant here to distinguish Colony from other parts of Lagos State (Protectorate)and that is why the passport issue is relevant These links should help https://www.gov.uk/types-of-british-nationality/british-overseas-territories-citizen https://www.whatpassport.com/countries/United-Kingdom/Passport_and_Nationality/Citizen_of_the_UK_and_Colonies_Passport_(CUKC) All of this should help us understand what was CAPITAL OF NIGERIA=LAGOS COLONY Not Lagos State |
