Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - FW: Nigeria: Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu, Reluctant to Clarify Anti-Igbo Comments

Bode,

The boundary was at Idi Oro and Boundary in Apapa Ajegunle. Until 1967 if tax officers are chasing tax defaulters once the run across at boundary or Idi Oro they are safe. 

Cheers.

We are back in the 1950s! This was one of the battles the Awolowo and the Action Group fought before Nigerian independence. Please correct me: my understanding is that they finally agreed to draw the boundary of the Western Region from Ikeja all the way through Surulere. So, it is not accurate then or now to claim that the whole of Lagos belongs to the Federal Government or was ever part of the capital city.
