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

Stop wasting your time, he's only interested in believing what he's been fed with. Knowing the truth will hurt the belief he's been holding on to, so he doesn't want to know and will do anything to hold on to the lies because that suits him better

Show me where it was indicated that the FCT then is Lagos Island or Lagos City. Or drop the map I will quit the argument.

Very simple

But you people like beating around the bush deceiving yourselves.

Will help you further. It was stated that Lagos (and not Lagos State) was capital of Nigeria

Is that all you have to say?

My question still remain, which place was the Nigeria FCT before 1960. Was it lagos city, lagos island or lagos state?

Keep deceiving yourselves

I can't help you because you chose to believe your own lies, it doesn't change the facts on ground anyway

The first paragraph just prove me right. Unless maybe you lack comprehension.

It stated that lagos was the capital of Nigeria. It didn't indicate anything like lagos city or lagos island.

And if you drop the map, it's still the same then and now.

That is y they say. Eko fedira meaning lagos island is federal govt meaning is stand alone frm lagos state

Bendeco02:

Another mumu epistle

Show me where they indicated as of then that the Nigeria FCT is Lagos Island and not the whole lagos?

Nawa o

Na so yorba people be?

With that your mumu assumption I will now say that the current Nigeria FCT is Aso rock, that the rural side are not part of FCT?

Is that so?

I can see that your ignorance and stupidity is tribal driven, let me leave you to continue to wallow in your ignorance.

Stop being emmotional

So, this is the type of sophisticated your tribe are. Believing on their deceit?

I told you to drop the map of Nigeria FCT then, let's know if it's different from the one we have now.

So far there's no changes, you're analysing rubbish.

Am not asking of the main city of lagos then

Hydroxide:
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.

You obviously are commenting on the wrong thread. I never remotely mentioned any tribe or tribal supremacy here. I only tried to educate some of you that Lagos Island city is different from Lagos state and States are never the capital of any country at least here on earth. Can u mention any country that has a state or province as capital? Is Cairo, Nairobi, Accra, Dakar or Pretoria a state? Likewise Lagos State was never the capital of Nigeria but Lagos Island as a city. Your type must have brains made of sawdust honestly

Oga shut up. Why are you bringing this up in the first place? Whether lagos island was the capital of Nigeria or whatever your point is does not change anything. That's not what Nigerians are clamouring for. This is 2023, You better channel ur energy into something more productive.

You're right. Well done

You cannot change over 80yrs history with blatant lies!

Afamed:


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.

So dont force your lies on us

Globad:


You didn't get his explanation. Lagos State was not the capital of Nigeria. Lagos was.

FCT is the capital of Nigeria. This includes Abuja and Aso Rock.

Ikorodu, Ikeja, Mushin, Badagry, Epe, etc were all under Western region.

Abuja is the seat of power. Aso Rock is not a city but a landmark inside Abuja. Other towns that make up the FCT with Abuja are Gwagwalada, Kuje, Bwari, Karshi etc.

How is this different from what I wrote within the context of my response to him?

You said 'Abuja and Aso Rock'. The uninformed will think they are two different places.

Same way you were not a descendant of your ancestors years ago.

With your family structure today, you are. Rest on several seats, Bros.

izombie:
Op you are the ignorant one. Ok, which part of abuja is the capital of nigeria? Is it only where aso rock is situated? Wrong!
Lagos as a state was the capital of nigeria but the presidential villa was situated in the island. When was MMA built and where was it built? It was built in lagos the then capital of nigeria. The whole of abuja is the capital of Nigeria not just where aso rock is situated.
Stop shifting goal post. Tinubu never developed lagos.

Lagos as a state was never capital to understand this you need to understand a little history and geography
First Lagos the capital became capital in 1914.
Lagos state was created in 1967
Enugu NOT Enugu state was capital of former Eastern Region
Kaduna NOT Kaduna state was capital of former Northern Region
Lagos the capital before Lagos state was created had a Minister
At that time 90% what later became
Lagos State
Was under Western Region Government e.g
Ikeja. Badagry.ikorodu and Epe were 100% Western Region at the time of the 1966 coup and were not under the Federal government
Where the OP got it wrong is the boundary
FCT had a boundary with the Western Region around Idi Oro . Also Victoria Island and Also a were part of the FCT

PresidentAtiku:
Lagos island is in Abuja?

It means you didn't understand what you read

Odibembem:
There is this wrong impression even held by otherwise very educated elites that Lagos State was the capital of Nigeria for so many years till 1991. That is not correct. What was capital of Nigeria was Lagos Island which even did not include Victoria Island. The mainland of today from Ikeja to Ilupeju where all vitually under the western region and only carved into Lagos State when the state was created in 1967. Perhaps to emphasize the difference between the state and the federal capital territory, Ikeja and not Lagos Island was made the capital of Lagos state. All through till 1991, the FG had jurisdiction only on the island and could only collect PAYE tax for residents there while state govt had jurisdiction over the rest of Lagos and collected the PAYE of the residents till d FCT moved to Abuja and the state govt took over jurisdiction of the entire state. Yes, federal presence on the island attracted infrastructure and development to the adjoining towns but but also created urban slums all around the state. However, know the truth, only Lagos Island was capital of Nigeria and not Lagos State.

You are 90% correct but
1.Victoria Island was part of the FCT including Apapa,Yaba up to IdiOro where the boundary lay 2. on inception Lagos was the state capital not Ikeja .That changed later

DMerciful:
So Awolowo built all the bridges in Lagos and not fg?

He built the Industrial estates, Ikeja, Ilupeju, Apapa etc. These are the true engines of growth in Lagos. People came to Lagos to work in these places not to look at overhead bridges.

Don't stress yourself. He is seeing your valid points from his tribalism prism. He knows his position is dumb but can't help himself.
How can someone be comparing Aso Rock to Lagos Island? Compare Aso Rock to State house/Dodan Barack. Abuja to Lagos.
How come an FCT still had an elected governor in Jakande. Was Jakande governing the president?

Thanks for the correction. I have also learnt from you today. We learn every day

Globad:


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!

This Guys will never comprehend your point no matter how elementary you try to be...Some people have genuinely learned & that is all that matters.

baretalk:

Tinubu was there since the days on NADECO, he was in the indigenous party of Lagos, before APC, Tinubu is Jakande's protege.

Show me the development tinubu did in lagos before 1999.

And list tinubu's achievements as governor
