. As MJC Echeruo, one of the world’s most formidable intellectual historians wrote, “Lagos of the late 19th century was a “negro” Lagos.
It was in the scheme of things those years that John Payne Jackson who arrived from Liberia to work for J.S. Leigh, a prominent merchant in Victorian Lagos, was later sent to Brass, and from Brass he returned to Lagos, and took up a job working for R.B. Blaize’s Lagos Times. The point is that Lagos is the city of the “cultural flaneur,” that wanderer who accretes values, and settles, and disseminates it within this space.
If anything can be said of that history, from its classical times, the Igbo have been the mobile glue and muscle of Southern Nigeria. As even the custodian of Lagos history has said, Lagos was originally founded by the Benin . As even the Ooni of Ife has hinted the habitation of the ancient Igbo of Ife are still known to the Ife, and are still the kingmakers who crown the Ooni of Ife. These histories are preserved in ritual and in narrative.
