Everyone knows this oseni, why are you ranting like a kid, what is your point? British people had same arrangements with other tribes and states as well, they really loved Lagos because it's a coastal city. What's your point oseni.

Verify the meaning of origin first. Lagos cannot have colonial origin if the colonials met people in Lagos and signed an agreement with the king that they met there. Ethelokoro: 8 Likes 1 Share |

Iamgrey5: Why do you guys like coming to threads like this with your common sense to educate these yiibos. Pls don't ever interrupt when they're dancing naked and entertaining me with their foolishness, OK? Pls let me enjoy the show. My yiibo brothers pls don't mind this guy. Oya, continue. Can you also advise us to start listing all Oyo State governors from the time of the kings of the Oyo Kingdom, since both of them are called Oyo? I will love to have your braindead opinion on that. Thank you. 11 Likes 2 Shares |

tamdun: That's how they manipulate urchins on Twitter, imagine that's what he has to say, trying to praise the British for developing Lagos where the documents clearly contain free permission for the British to loot Lagos freely. This should actually be interpreted as the documents that delayed the development of Lagos, but fools on Twitter won't see it as that 5 Likes 1 Share |

Johnthum: Nigeria president elect was a successful governor in Lagos even when the OBASANJO led federal government was against him. Oseni is not relevant than spreading nonsense to deceive some set of youth. He should have said Lagos has no improvement at all since 1960. I wonder what has happened in the whole south east even with the Oil they have since 1960. 11 Likes 1 Share |

A simple Wikipedia article with relevant references would have saved rufai the embarrassment. Rufai is not a deep thinker. He thrives on picking crumbs of information and running with it. Just search for Lagos Colony and see the results Lagos Colony was a British colonial possession centred on the port of Lagos in what is now southern Nigeria. Lagos was annexed on 6 August 1861 under the threat of force by Commander Beddingfield of HMS Prometheus who was accompanied by the Acting British Consul, William McCoskry. Oba Dosunmu of Lagos (spelled "Docemo" in British documents) resisted the cession for 11 days while facing the threat of violence on Lagos and its people, but capitulated and signed the Lagos Treaty of Cession.[1] Lagos was declared a colony on 5 March 1862.[2] By 1872, Lagos was a cosmopolitan trading center with a population over 60,000.[3] In the aftermath of prolonged wars between the mainland Yoruba states, the colony established a protectorate over most of Yorubaland between 1890 and 1897[b][/b].[4] The protectorate was incorporated into the new Southern Nigeria Protectorate in February 1906, and Lagos became the capital of the Protectorate of Nigeria in January 1914.[2] Since then, Lagos has grown to become the largest city in West Africa, with an estimated metropolitan population of over 9,000,000 as of 2011.[5] Please go to wikipedia and follow the references cited to learn more. 11 Likes 2 Shares |
