Sammy07:It was the capital 100%, mind you, Lagos State was created in 1967 not 1976, Victoria Island was dredged by the Federal not the western region. Op & yourself are mixing facts & fiction to deceive the gullible. 1 Like 1 Share |

sapele914: I errorneously transposed 1967 with 1976 which I have now corrected. But what exactly is your arguement? That Lagos Stete and not Lagos Island was the capital of Nigeria? Do you know of any country in the world that has a province or state as capital? Is DC a state? Is Ottawa a state and is Paris or Madrid or Moscow or Canberra a state? Or is Accra a state? States are never capitals of countries, only cities are and the former capital of Nigeria was Lagos Island and not Lagos State. You shouldn't argue with this irrefutable fact 4 Likes 1 Share |

Sammy07:Chai nawa o The second map indicate only lagos and other yoruba yoruba/SW region as a whole without indicating the states while the first one indicates the states in the SW. I thought am even replying enlightened person sef. Show me the map that only recognized those area you guys mentioned as the only part of lagos then. Or are you trying to say that only the lagos capital was the recognized FCT then? Just like saying that only Aso rock is the Nigeria capital not Abuja as a whole.

emmanuelbrown26: You are very very wrong. Try and learn before you even behind to make such arrogant comments about people trying to educate you. The colonial masters made Lagos Island as their capital. The rest of Lagos state was NOT the capital! There was even nothing like Lagos State as at the time Are you saying that Ikeja, Lekki, Epe and Badagry and Ikorodu were part of Lagos Island? 4 Likes |

Odibembem:When it comes to issues like this, you will be comparing Nigeria with the United states and other top notch countries of the world. Why don't you compare Nigeria and those countries in terms of good governance, security, opportunities? Those countries see themselves as one irrespective of where any citizen comes from, nothing like tribalism over there. Nonsense comparison. 1 Like 1 Share |

Bendeco02:Do you know there's an Oyo town inside Oyo State and a Lagos inside the present Lagos State? You people are just impervious to learning just because you want to keep pushing a jaundiced narrative. States are never capitals of any country in the world, that alone should tell you Lagos State wasn't the capital of Nigeria, there was a reason the military made Dodan barracks the base of the Heads of State, where is Dodan barracks located? 3 Likes |

Sammy07:Bro, you be mumu finally What was the name of Nigeria capital then? Did they mention any particular part or area of lagos as the FCT And not the whole lagos? Secondly; as of then, are those areas you mentioned the only recognized parts of lagos? If yes drop map and stop being emmotional |
Re: Lagos State Was Never Capital Of Nigeria by Globad(f): 8:53am On Jan 04, 2023 |
Bendeco02: Again, you're wrong. This is not about emotions but historical facts that can be verified. Comparing Aso rock and Abuja to Lagos and Lagos State is actually irrelevant and nonsensical. The whole of FCT was created as the federal Capital from the beginning and it's nonsensical to isolate Abuja or Aso rock. It's ridiculous However, Lagos Island was chosen as the federal Capital and not Lagos State. Lagos State DID NOT exist as at the time that Lagos Island was chosen as the federal Capital. Lagos State was created much later. Perhaps it's the name that's confusing you. 4 Likes |
Re: Lagos State Was Never Capital Of Nigeria by Globad(f): 8:55am On Jan 04, 2023 |
Bendeco02: You are wrong. Lagos State is different from Lagos city or Lagos Island. Calm down and learn. Lagos State as an entity was never the federal capital. Lagos, or Lagos Island was! 3 Likes |
Re: Lagos State Was Never Capital Of Nigeria by OkutaNla: 8:56am On Jan 04, 2023 |
Odibembem: Exactly! To further buttress your points, that dichotomy also explains why Lagos state could still have a democratically elected governor (in the person of Jakande) while doubling as FCT. Contrast that with Abuja FCT which doesn't have an elected governor but rather an appointed 'FCT minister' who's appointed by the president of the federation. 3 Likes |
Re: Lagos State Was Never Capital Of Nigeria by Bendeco02: 8:57am On Jan 04, 2023 |
Globad: You only believe your analysis among yourselves. Is the capital of Nigeria Lagos City or Lagos state as of then? You guys don't understand or what. I asked him to drop the map as of then. If there's any changes with today's map of lagos then I will quit . Nawa o Even as of today, don't we have Abuja main city and rural Abuja. Will we now assume that the rural part is not part of the FCT? |
Re: Lagos State Was Never Capital Of Nigeria by 3ple9iner: 9:01am On Jan 04, 2023 |
Bendeco02:1, If you had opened that link and read what was there, you would have noticed that the area's under the old western region were listed and the area under the FCT were also listed. But I am sure you didn't. 2. Abuja was a planned capital by Ibrahim Babangida due to the fact that it is at the heart of the country meaning that it cannot be easily accessed by foreigners whereas Lagos island could be accessed through the sea and land borders. You should also know that Abuja was planed by the International Planning Associates Also, Aso rock is the residence and workplace of the President same with White House while Abuja is the Capital of Nigeria Same as Washington being the capital of the USA. I would have love to go on and one to educate you but you are already emotional reason for the insult but I would still advice you to make research on this topic as i believe you are not an illetrate. 1 Like |

Re: Lagos State Was Never Capital Of Nigeria by Globad(f): 9:02am On Jan 04, 2023 |
Bendeco02: You're not listening. The capital of Nigeria was Lagos Island. Lagos Island was/is Eko. Oba of Lagos is actually Oba of Lagos Island and not Oba of Lagos State. You're just arguing for the sake of argument. Lagos State was not in existence when Lagos Island or Eko was made the federal capital. It was created in 1976. The Portuguese gave the name Lagos to the Island and not the whole of today's Lagos State. What's so hard to understand here and what's the essence of the map you're asking for? We've named places for you and you're still asking for an irrelevant map. No one knows everything. You don't know this one. Accept it with gratitude and move on. You may know something else tomorrow that we don't know. We would thank you for the information and move on 3 Likes 1 Share |

DMerciful: Lazy youth. Lagos has 5 districts . Out of the 5, the capital was located only in Lagos Island. The 3rd main land bridge you mentioned is located in Lagos Island. The remaining 4 districts have no single federal facility. Epe, Ikorodu, Ikeja and Badagry, So you can not rewrite history now , that Lagos state developed because it was Federal capital.
