If Nigeria Splits, Who Would Control Abuja and Lagos?

I imagine Nigeria might one day divide into five or six new nations. If that happens, I wonder which region would control Abuja. I also want to know who would govern Lagos. I’m from the East and worry I might need residency papers in those cities. Is it possible for Easterners like me to join other regions to avoid being seen as foreigners? I even plan to marry a partner from Lagos so my family can feel at home in both places. But first, we need to know where the borders would lie. Who takes Abuja? Who takes Lagos?
