Why Igbos Are Claiming That Lagos Is A No Man's Land

Why can't they also claim that Calabar, the first Federal Capital, is also a no-man's-land?
Three fashionable fallacies lie at the root of the prevailing Igbo outlook to Lagos, the former Federal Capital. 
The first is that: Lagos is a no-man’s land with no indigenous population.

The second is that: Federal Government money was used to build Lagos into the huge metropolis that it has now become. This argument goes further to claim that since the “federal money” allegedly belonged to all Nigerians, the political control of Lagos should, willy-nilly, be open to just about anyone and everyone who claims to be a Nigerian.
