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.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


At independence all of Lagos was included in the Western Region though Lagos Island was the FCT for administrative purposes

In 1960 Amuwo odofin, Ijora,Apapa etc were all part of Awolowo’s Ikeja Division in the Western Region

The FG later leased more land from the Western Region

It was the condition on Which independence was agreed with Awolowo
Awolowo refused to let go of any part of Lagos and insisted Lagos was part of the West which it still is today

I'm deceived by Obi the thief, while you are deceived by tinubu the armed robber.
Ask your cursed head which is worse between a thief and an armed robber. Dindinrin ni e.

We can hear everything Peter Obi says clearly. When tinubu talks, he talks like a drug dealer sniffing his own hard drug.

Balabloo bloo blu bulaba. grin


So, ask your cursed head again which between the two is empty upstairs.

Apoda oloshi ni e. grin

We are not talking about PA Awolowo here. We are talking about what an ignoramus like op posted.
Telling d world that Lagos state was never a capital of Nigeria is shame to d op and those that paid for his school fees.

Despite the attempts to educate u, u are still making a fool of yourself? Is there any country in the word that has a State or Province or Region as capital? Is DC, London, Paris, Accra, Moscow, Pretoria or Nairobi a State or Province? It's cities that are national capitals not states or Province or regions. Likewise LAGOS STATE was NEVER the capital of Nigeria rather the capital was Lagos Island or Lagos city. Is this something too hard for the akamu in your block head to understand? Examination malpractice really bailed out so many of you.

Is it that you are incapable of learning despite the effort of so many on this thread? No country in the world has a state or province or region as it's capital, only cities are national capitals like London, Paris, Washington DC, Accra, Freetown, Nairobi, Cairo, etc. Same applied to Nigeria, Lagos city (Lagos Island) was the capital of Nigeria and not Lagos State. Examination malpractice really did so much harm to many of you
