Mr, I don't know the school you attended but if you were to write a project and you cite wikipedia, you will re-write the project from the scratch.

Lagos is a portuguese name, while eko is bini language. There's nothing yoruba in both words. If you want to apply logic here, you'll say the binis met the portuguese in eko.

So, yorubas like other tribes are migrants in Lagos.

VickJames:


Ok, let the argument end here.

VickJames:


What's the meaning of "eko" in yoruba language?

totit:




It's ok.
This sums it up.


There is no doubt at all that there is a strand in contemporary Igbo behaviour that can offend; by its noisy exhibitionism and disregard for humility and quietness"

Ode, whats the meaning of ekiti or yoruba in yoruba?

saxywale:

Just take a trip to ife, ilesha or oshogbo. Ibos are everywhere in those places. Lol. Let me not even mention ibadan, I had ibo friends back in oau that are naturalised ibadan.These ibos in ilu oke speak yoruba with an oyo accent.

VickJames:


Do you know the meaning?

I'm not an ode na

elijah2u:
so, who owns lagos now, you and your tribes or yoruba? cos dz write ups is basically saying nobody owns lagos, which is not so

vicadex07:
Am trying to show the folly of your line of reasoning. What's the meaning of english in english. What's the meaning of america in english. Whats the meaning of france or paris in french.

VickJames:


I bet you, the indigenes of the above places will know the meaning of these places.

The thing you're not getting is that, "eko" means something in bini but doesn't mean anything in yoruba.

Now, you get what I'm saying?

scholes0:


And the Indigenous Lagosians he listed are what?
If everyone that migrated to Lagos are to go back to their villages, the people remaining there will still be Yorubas.... the likes of Tiwa Savage, Oba Akiolu Etc...

You're missing the point in the message.

Don't you think Lagosians will like to rule themselves instead of having an Ondo man ruling their land. I am sure if a Lagosian should travel to contest an election in Ondo state, he will be reminded that he is not an indigene of Ondo state. So why forcefully take over their land and claim it is a Yoruba land hence it is free for any Yoruba to rule.

I am speaking on behalf of the indigenous Lagosians whose voices have been drowned by the majority Yoruba migrant.
Lagos is for Lagosians
Osun is for Osunites
Ondo is for Ondoites
Yorubaland for everybody etc etc.

eleshin:
Well m a lagosian from Epe/lagos island. My tribe and language is Yoruba, so I don't really understand the difference between the two cos Lagos is just a city in Yoruba land.

Nobody is arguing that Lagos is not Yorubaland. Lagos is Yorubaland but so is Osun, Ondo and the other Yoruba state but Lagos should be left to the indigenous people of Lagos to Govern. Can you contest an election in Osun state without being reminded that you're not an indigene of the state? You better stop this false pretense and speak up whenever the need arise before you become a slave in your own land.

Tinubu a non Lagosian now dictates who becomes Governor in your state. Ambode, an Ondo man won an election over a true Lagosian in his own land and you think this is normal. Yoruba migrants should stop stealing slots meant for the indigenous people of Lagos state.

OkutaNla:
I would like to suggest that perhaps the OP and his alter-ego moniker be ignored from hereon since it's evident that they are just trolling. Besides, this topic has been debunked in the recent past. I can't help but wonder why it's only igbos that call other people's lands "no man's". It's like the race is cursed to stir trouble with their hosts wherever they're found.

huangcheng:


Yes, they have tried many times to speak up but you migrants wont let their voice be heard. You have successfully drowned their minority voice with your much louder "LAGOS IS YORUBA LAND" mantra and have relegated them to the back seat.

Leave Lagos to Lagosians and go back to wherever the hell you migrated from. I am tired of you migrants crying about Lagos more than the true Lagosians who are more accommodating and hospitable.

huangcheng:


No Igbo man will call Lagos a no man's land. Lagos is Yoruba territory but Lagos is for the indigenous people of Lagos state and not for every Yoruba migrants to Govern. Go back to your evil forests where you migrated from so that true Lagosians can enjoy their ancestral land. Lagosians are tired of the dominance by Yoruba migrants under the pretense of "We are one". They don't dominate you in your ancestral lands.

vicadex07:
Yorubas are not tribalist like ibo people who usually claim that an igboman from imo state is different from and inferior to an igboman in abia. If you're probably an igboman from anambra and you're resident in enugu, do you mean to tell me enugu igbos are going to discriminate against you and chase you outta town (well i remember this has happened in igboland for real sha).

The point is Yorubas are not as intollerant and unaccomodating as your people who would rather deport an enugu man resident in abia. I wonder how biafra is going to stand amongst you people

totit:


Tarrrrhh
Don't come with that yeye trick




This is ibo man for you.


Why on earth would this be seen among igbo race??


I have listen severally to igbo songs.. Which Whenever they to talk about igbo people, they will only mention ANAMBRA, IMO and ENUGU... Am



The worst part is the Gospel singers are also doing the same.... You will be listening to igbo gospel music , they will be praying to God ""Gozierem ndi onitsha, Gozierem ndi IMO, ENUGU na ANAMBRA state nine" "

WHY are they disregarding us ===EBONYI and ABIA


HAVENT WE CONTRIBUTED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF IGBO RACE

Flyoruboy:


That's why I said in my last post that the OP is applying the usual Igbo/SE/Biafra mentality to Yoruba land. The Ijebus/Epes/Ikorodus have as much claim to Lagos as Aworis, as do the Egbas also. Who are the Epes? Ate they not Ojebus? All these people are Yorubas at the end of the day, which is the koko of the matter and all that matter. The OP is just trolling.

huangcheng:


Hypocrisy! You change the goal post whenever it favors you. How many Lagosians have Governed your state? How many non-indigene have Govern any Yoruba state? So why is normal for an Ondo man to Govern Lagosians. Nobody will take that nonsense and you know it but because it favors you, you're OK with the status quo. That's colonization by trick or false pretense.

scholes0:


hahahaha... The Yorubas have stopped you from your "Lagos is no man's land" nonsense
And now you are talking like you have the interest of the indigenous Lagosians at heart... Lmao

For your information, Nobody can cater for a Yoruba man's pleas and demands other than Another yoruba man... So I suggest YOU should crawl BACK to whatever evil forest in Ihiala you came from, and stop trying to speak for yoruba interests when you aren't even one.
