Administrative and Local Government Divisions
Along with the 20 local government divisons, above those divisions, Lagos State is divided into 5 Administrative Divisons: Lagos (Eko), Ikeja, Ikorodu, Epe and Badagry. I imagine these are along the lines of what many would refer to as counties, so I've added them. I also fixed the square kilometers and population of the district.

Proposed merge from Lagosians
Lagosians are not a distinct ethnic group. Lagosians redirected to Lagos from 2007 until a new article The Lagosians was created in 2015, and then moved over that name. It should be merged here to Lagos State, or split between this page and Lagos. – Fayenatic  L ondon 15:48, 31 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Oppose: A demographic article that has enough content and references, to stand alone as its own article. There's no reason to merge.--Jamie Tubers (talk) 16:03, 31 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I would have no objection if it met your description, but it's mainly about culture and religion, not demographics. – Fayenatic  L ondon 18:43, 31 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Culture and Religion is a demographic content.--Jamie Tubers (talk) 14:05, 1 January 2016 (UTC)
 * On the contrary, they are content, not demographics. At Talk:Kwara you suggested the precedent of Demographics of Ontario to justify these separate articles about Lagosians and Kwarans, but there is no resemblance to that page apart from the paragraph about population. – Fayenatic  L ondon 15:19, 1 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Strong Oppose per User:Jamie Tubers's reasoning. It is quiet illogical to merge Lagosian into Lagos State. Wikic¤l¤gyt@lk to M£ 16:53, 31 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Nothing forbids demonym from having a stand-alone article. Wikic¤l¤gyt@lk to M£ 21:01, 31 December 2015 (UTC)
 * On the contrary, it would be WP:Content forking which is not permitted. – Fayenatic  L ondon 04:37, 1 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Content fork for a denonym to have an article? I think you are misinterpreting content for here. So you mean Lagos and Lagosians are content fork? Nigerian and Nigeria are content fork? Different articles can be legitimately created on subjects which themselves represent points of view, as long as the title clearly indicates what its subject is. Wikic¤l¤gyt@lk to M£ 06:40, 1 January 2016 (UTC)
 * You are absolutely wrong there; the whole point of the content fork rule is to prevent articles with different points of view. Articles must have distinct topics. These two articles (Lagosians and Kwarans) have the shape of articles about ethnic groups, but you admitted at Talk:Kwara that it was "an aberration" to call them ethnic groups (although you blamed someone else). To keep this article separate, it must have a distinct topic. If you want to make it into Demographics of Lagos State, then split it; move the page to that name, and merge the non-demographic content into Lagos State. – Fayenatic  L ondon 12:22, 1 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Comment: some of it should not be merged but deleted, e.g. the extraordinary claim that The vast majority of the population of Lagosian is made up of the Old World immigrants, Brazilians and their descendants. That sentence had a citation but, of course, verification failed. – Fayenatic  L ondon 15:53, 1 January 2016 (UTC)
 * See Talk:Lagosians. Wikicology has withdrawn almost the entire content of the page, which was his own original research supported by fake citations. – Fayenatic  L ondon 15:24, 2 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I see that you have added back a paragraph about census data. If you are going to make it a page about Demographics of Lagos State, please move it to that name. Otherwise, please explain what will be the topic of the article and how it is separate from the matters already covered in Lagos State. – Fayenatic  L ondon 16:12, 2 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Please merge it to Lagos State. Wikic¤l¤gyt@lk to M£ 16:18, 2 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks – ✅.
 * For the record, when I turned my attention back to the page Lagosians today, I was not aware of a discussion under way at WP:ANI. Wikicology has apologised for inappropriate editing (and worse) at Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents. – Fayenatic  L ondon 21:01, 2 April 2016 (UTC)
