Former Attorney General of Lagos State, and Historian, Supo Shashore (SAN), while speaking on the history of Lagos State, has clarified that there isn’t any differentiation between inhabitants of Isale-Eko and Lagos-Island.
He made this known during his keynote address at the recently held Isale-Eko Day Symposium organised by the Isale Eko Descendants’ Union as supported by the Alliance Francais, Mike Adenuga Centre.
According to Shashore, “Lagos Colony existed before Nigeria as a Country and was entering into treaties with foreign sovereigns before the amalgamation of Nigeria.
“We are not children of a scramble. We are cosmopolitan because we choose to be so and we must continue to confront the Nigerian state that there exist an indigenous people who own the heritage of Lagos.”
