Strange to know how South Africa 🇿🇦 is the only country in the world with 3 Capital cities.

The ruling military at the time were not comfortable leaving in Lagos. They wanted somewhere close to their states.

I worked with someone over the summer who lived outside Lagos, he moved to Canada a year ago, making his way up, he's managing a gas bar now. he mentioned when the power goes out there, you never know when it'll ever come back on

I remember when I was young, I got in trouble for correcting my teacher that the capital is not Lagos. The oyibo woman was so dead set that I was wrong, till she checked herself

It was a security move. Coastal cities are more prone to warfare disadvantage.
