Our Niger Delta petrodollars developed Lagos and Abuja just because its the federal capital then and now.

I guess you will hit the street in protest if the federal govt construct a secondary school in Lagos as a major institution. won't you?

A School in 1859 and a School in 2020 are two different things, in 1859 it showed superiority and class of Lagos ruling hierarchy like Oba kosoko, Oba Akintoye, Oba Dosunmu, it shows level of development and sophistication , while Aba in the 18 century women don't even wear cloths, they don't have schools

NgwalandAbia:

just shamelessly fvck off and let educated people like the OneNigerianist guy and others have space.. you clear are here to constituite nuisance and you have no value whatso ever to add

Anything Abuja is getting today is only a duplicate of what Lagos already has. Lagos as a result of its status inherited headquarters of federal govt ministries and parastatals, CBN, National Stadium, national airport, Banks Hqtrs, Hqs of oil companies, Hqtrs of many brands in Nigeria, Embassies and high commissions and many more.

but Aba women without such school knew what it meant to riot and resist colonialism more than the people whom the school was established.

Anyway, the school is a colonial legacy and doesn't fit into our discussion.
