Calabar was simply administrative HQ for the old British Southern Protectorate, it was never actually a capital in the strict sense of the word. Neither was Lokoja. The comparison cannot be made sir.

Goke7:
This is a blessing in disguise, I for once wants no special status for Lagos cos it will continue to make folks from other parts of the country lay unnecessary claim on Lagos. The rejection of the bill preserves the the indigenous identity of Lagos which is what a lot of folks do not understand

Lagos remains a Yoruba state and should be preserve as such. To hell with the special status cos it can breed future unnecessary disputes.

That most Nigerians wants to be in Lagos should be seen as a plus and prosperity for posterity for the true indigenes of Lagos.

1. You should start by asking yourself why Lagos is the 7th largest economy in Africa, larger than at lease 42 other countries in Africa.

2. You should also ask yourself why you and your people rush to Lagos for survival..

Wickedness is biting the hands that feeds you..

Good then ..but what about Calabar and Lokoja which were once also capitals

Thesame igbos with 3 and 1 rep both in the state and federal rep in lagos state. Sit down there and watch an igbo senator emerge in Eko. You guys are really funny. Do you even know how many igbo councillors just in AMUWODOFIN. Una dey sleep, just count the igbos out from your WOES and cry against the northern politicians that are bent to use the SW and dump them. Open your eyes. Lol.

northern nations were not spared they were used by the colonialists to start war against other kingdoms but they couldn't overrun the oyo kingdom then the british created mistrust within the yorubas which led to the yoruba civil war then the same british were attacking the yorubas from the south(oceans) but the yorubas decided to stop fighting and the british won......

but the yorubas then concentrated on fighting the fulanis.. the fulanis were almost overrun by the yorubas but the stepped in and stopped the war when they realized the yorubas were winning..

the colonialists always favored fulanis they were never spared..

Lagos as a former federal capital territory deserves a special status for the purpose of revenue sharing in order to manage the huge challenges that was inherited from the relocation of the country's capital. This is in line with best practises all over the world. But unfortunately, tribalism, hatred and outright jealousy will not allow the law makers take the right decision.

1. The seaport and airports you mentioned are nothing but myths and baseless argument you people confuse yourselves with, Lagos is Lagos today because Lagos is Nigeria's industrial capital, financial capital, entertainment capital, real estate capital and Nigeria generates more growth, more jobs and GDP many times over than the ignorant nonsense you people shout all over the place.


Last I checked, there are ports and international airports in other places in Nigeria so of what relevance and common sense is your argument?

2. Even , if you uproot the seaport and airport in Lagos to any other place in Nigeria, are you also going to uproot the factories, industrial estates and the industries including entertainment, real estate, banking and finance, ICT HUBs, people, culture and everything that makes Lagos the 7th largest economy in Africa?


You people just reason like 2 year old kids..



I really hope you are not the smartest person in your village with because if you are, they are doomed..

Yorubas almost conquered the fulanis that's why the british had to step in and stopped the war quickly...

Because he is a greedy son of a bittch who only cares about how his burdillion south-west empire fares.
He knows angling for true federalism would put in the cross-hairs of northern god-fathers who would decimate him politically, so he doesn't want to rock the boat.
If PDP takes over anytime in the future, you would see him shouting for true federalism again.

The topic is about Lagos and not Oyo or Ogun state.


Funny enough, you and your people still can not stop trooping to the same Ogun and Oyo for your daily bread? What a sad irony..

SycophanticGoat:


Abeg make una carry this matter throway for dust bin cuz e no make any sense.. You exclude Calabar and Lokoja and call it simply administrative and all that crap but then say that Lagos should be given preferential treatment? If you people had asked for the 1% for all the past capitals, it will be understandable and I'd agree that the plea is devoid of bigotry, tribalism and greed.

When the Niger Deltans ask for something that will benefit their oil spill and dirt ravaged region, you people will openly shout them down. Now you want 1% of the nations wealth. SmH..

We still have a long way to go in the aspects of tribalism and bigotry tho..
