Lagosians (Template:Lang-fr) are the people who are identified with Lagos State. This connection may be cultural, historical, legal and residential. For most Lagosians, many of those types of connections exist and are the source(s) of their being considered Lagosians.

The vast majority of the population of Lagosian is made up of the Old World immigrants, Brazilians and their descendants. Following the British colonization, different peaks of immigration and settlement of non-aboriginal peoples took place over the course of nearly two centuries and continue today. Elements of Aboriginal, Portuguese, British and more recent immigrant customs, languages and religions have combined to form the culture of Lagos and also a Lagosian identity. Lagos had strongly been influenced by its linguistic, geographic and economic neighbor, the Republic of Benin. Lagosians independence from Great Britain in 1807 following the abolished of the Slave Trade grew gradually before Nigeria became independent on October 1, 1960 and the adoption of the Republican constitution in 1963 that led to the creation of Lagos State on May 27, 1967 by virtue.

Population

In 2005, the population of Lagosian was 17.5 million based on the Lagos Bureau of Statistics report of 2005. As of 2006, the population of Lagosian was 9.01 million based on the Nigeria 2006 Census. This Population size constitutes about 6.44% of the Nation's total population having relied upon immigration for Population growth and Socioeconomic development. Despite its small size with an area of 356,861 hectares from which 75,755 hectares are wetlands, Lagos State became the most populated State in Nigeria. The United Nation estimated and predicted with its present growth rate, Lagos state will emerge as the third largest city in the world by 2015 after Tokyo, the capital of Japan and Mumbai, a city in India. The Population growth rate was estimated to about 600,000 per year with a population density of about 4,193 persons per km but the average density is over 20,000 persons per square km in the built-up areas of Metropolitan Lagos. Meanwhile, the current demographic trend analysis and estimation revealed that Lagosian population is growing ten times faster than that of New York and Los Angeles with a profound effects on urban sustainability.

Citizenship and diaspora

Lagosian citizenship is typically obtained by birth in Lagos State or by birth or adoption abroad when at least one biological parent or adoptive parent is a Lagosian citizen who was born in Lagos State or naturalized in Lagos State and did not receive citizenship by being born outside of Lagos State to a Lagosian citizen. It can also be granted to a permanent resident who lives in Lagos State that meets specific requirements.

Culture and religion

Lagos's culture is a product of its ethnicities, religions, languages, political and legal system(s). Being a settler state, Lagos has been shaped by waves of migration that have combined to form a unique blend of cuisine art, literature, humour and music. Today, Lagos has a diverse makeup of ethnicities, nationalities and constitutional protection for policies that promote multiculturalism rather than cultural assimilation. Lagos has a unique cultural identity and the major festival observed by Lagosian is Eyo festival otherwise known as the Adamu Orisha Play apart from Egungun and 'Oro celebrated by few. However, as a whole, Lagos state is a cultural mosaic: a collection of several aboriginal, regional and ethnic subcultures. Lagos State government policies such as strong efforts to eliminate poverty, good and accessible road network, primary health care and strict drug control are social indicators of Lagosians political and cultural values. The official Language of Lagosians is Yoruba language used in Nigerian media but co-dominance to English Language. Conversely, several cultural products and entertainers such as Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti, Folorunsho Alakija and Fela Kuti are successful in Africa and worldwide. The Government of Lagos State has also influenced culture with innovations, programs, laws and institutions. It has created Crown corporations to promote Lagosian culture. Lagosian culture has historically been influenced by Aboriginal, French and British cultures and traditions. Lagos as a state is religiously diverse, encompassing a wide range of groups, beliefs and customs. However Lagos has no official religion, and support for religious pluralism is an important part of Lagos political culture. The practice of religion is now generally considered a private matter throughout society and within the state.
