You don't seem to be getting it.

Lagos was what it is because of the massive investment of all Nigerians to be what it is. Figure presented showed that you form the hitherlands of Oyo, Ekiti, Ondo and Osun started migrating to Lagos in from 1931s.

You must compensate other regions from the investment of the collective FG if anything happens.

Also all banks, embassies, oil companies, multilateral institutions will locate elsewhere.

Your seaport and airports will reduce their imports as most importers who are not from SW will use other ports.

In 50 or 100 years it will become a shadow of its self.

If you think I am wrong that Lagos was, because of sustained investment of all from the 1800s, why is Cotonou which has similar environment like Lagos, not as developed as Lagos?

you are just funny, New York is what it is because of all sort of investments from all over the world, if anything happens to America and it splits so you mean NewYork too same as London will compensate the entire world for their contributions abi? You lack understanding of what a Global city is. The investments you see today in Lagos is not a Nigerian thing but a global affair, the seaports are still underutilized because the Lagos ports are not transshipping locations from which goods coming in can even go on to other Nations down southern Africa, the day we have more enlightened people in govt, this will start so how can Lagos become a shadow of itself when its yet to be optimized especially its abundant aquatic splendor. Nigeria is the one slowing Lagos down, more international investments [which is we want and not dirty corner corner shops] will flow more into Lagos the day the seaports and airports are free from useless FG bureaucracies.

Those who made this 100 pages possible should take an high five. Una too argue!

Nothing settled it. Stop claiming what is not yours.

You don't still get it. When these were happening, you guys from the Oyo and Osun were nowhere to be found.

The Aros from the east migrated to Lagos before you started migrating by 1931. See pic.

Someone talked about New York. The Irish and others who migrated there are part of New York.

Ogbeni, New York belongs to all the people that migrated there. Including the Irish, the Germans, the Jews, the Italians. Nobody in his right senses will drag New York like you guys are doing Lagos. It is a shame. Why are you not dragging Ibadan you western capital?

The current Mayor of New York has German and Italian ancestry.

So stop wasting your time.

I thought you guys are enlightened?

Who is joking with you ?
You are too daft to see I was being sarcastic. You didn't see see where I mentioned treatment for flatthead as well?
What is the narrative?
Many groups and migrant families have settled in Lagos for centuries from Nupe,Edo,Ijaw and even returnee slaves all have their different family houses on Lagos island
What is legal lingua franca?

Is there an illegal lingua franca?

What does lingua franca mean?


Yoruba is compulsory in schools in Lagos State by law

The state House of Assembly conducts business in Yoruba one day a week

When they say African is a s.hole...I know get what they mean.

I have never seen New Yorkers who are originally from American saying the Italian-New Yorker is stealing their heritage and identity.

Only people with deep inferiority complex do that.

You heritage belongs in you town..Oshogbo!

Which book are you reading?

Inferiority is tearing you apart.

am not from Oshogbo oponu, am from the Ijebu axis of Ogun state [just 45 mins from Lagos], the most industrialized axis in the country, born in Lagos too. We ijebus have a big stake in the Lagos project than you can ever imagine. African is a shithole indeed and you want to claim shithole Lagos as yours, guy your confusion is now advanced Only folks with inferiority complex cry and die for what can never be yours.
