History of Nigeria by Alan Burns (1929) The Colony of Lagos

In January 1854 the Consul presided at a ‘palaver’ between the two parties, and an agreement was come to by which Kosoko was recognized as King of Palma and Lekki as a condition of his relinquishing all claim to the throne of Lagos. 
…
In June 1861 the Foreign Secretary instructed the Consul to arrange for the occupation of Lagos .. [eventually bombarded in December]
…
Very much against the will of Dosumu, Kosoko and his principal lieutenant, Tappa, were now

allowed to return to Lagos, and in 1863 Kosoko ceded Palma and Lekki to the Government in return for a pension, which he drew until his death in 1872.

Badagri, Palma, and Lekki were the first additions to the Colony; in 1863 Ado and Oke-Odan, to the west of Lagos, were added, and between 1883 and 1895 Appa, the Itsekiri country as far as Mollume, Ogbo Mahin, Ijebu-Ro, Itebu, Aiyesan, Igbessa, Ilaro, and Kotonu were included in the Lagos territories.

Kotonu was, however, exchanged with the French in 1889 for Pokra, a district north of Badagri.

#BreakTheHold : Jude Feranmi Adejuwon Wrote “I Believe Nigeria Is Ripe For Change”

As we draw close to the 2019 Elections, I will like to make it clear that I RESIGNED as a MEMBER of KOWA PARTY a few weeks ago for a few reasons - primarily CUPP & internal issues

I‘ll be volunteering for campaigns I believe in top & down the ballot for new voices to emerge!

As is already clear,

I believe that Nigeria is ripe for a change in Leadership and that we must be strategic in

bringing down the established political forces who DO NOT have any plan in mind for the average Nigerian.

A coalition with these same established forces in order to achieve a short term agenda is not in anyway a part of what I committed my life to when I joined KOWA or what I wish to now commit my life to

I will now be concerned with helping to raise new voices across board and volunteering for as many campaigns of these new voices as much as I can.
