This is due to the massive influx of people from all over Nigeria and West Africa thereby putting pressure on available land space, (which is even smaller than Anambra). Lagos is quite enervating and bursting at the seams especially with more migrants seeking protection from the insecurity situations in the North and South East.

With decentralized governance, a Delta State indigene for example doesn't need to come and hustle for employment in Lagos, PH, Abuja, etc, but can stay back in his or her state once the inefficiencies in resource allocation and utilisation are addressed.

A place like Lagos should only be for holidaying, or wrapping up business deals then driving or flying back to base in other states.

More than 95 percent of the landmass of Lagos State of today was carved out of what is now called Ogun State which was then part of Old Western Region. Ikeja, Ilupeju, Ikorodu, Epe, Ibeju Lekki, Isolo, Mushin, Agege, Ojo, Badagry, Iganmu, etc, were all towns located in the Old Western Region before being carved out and merged with Lagos Island (the former capital from 1914 to 1991) to form the new state.

Lagos State was originally created on along with 11 other states on May 27, 1967 for the indigenes by General Yakubu Gowon by carving out lands from the Ijebu people and Awori people. This is why Ijebuland and Aworiland straddle both sides of the Lagos and Ogun States boundaries.

With a controlled population, Lagos State will continue to maintain the lead as the 5th largest economy in Africa since 1999 after Bola Tinubu first came on board.

Do you know that the Yorubas fought a Civil War over Lagos Area in the 1840s called the Ota War

The Egbas of Abeokuta with the tacit support of the Ijebu won it and the Ibadan Army under Basorun Oluyole who fought on the side of the Oba of Lagos had to smuggle themselves back to Ibadan in defeat

The. Ibadan Army had camped at Agege and fought all the way to the Sea before loosing to the Egbas

The Episode almost led to the downfall of Basorun Oluyole

The Egbas won all the land from the Coast of Lagos to Abeokuta by conquest

Only Lagos Island and the Ijebu Areas were the exemption

That was how things were when the British arrived

The egbas won lagos from whom exactly...igbo or hausa
