The Yoruba are a very tactful and diplomatic people. These are attributes that some people mistake for cowardice, or sycophancy. They are a people who understand how to stoop to conquer.

This is what Scripture meant in 2 Corinthians 10:4 “The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty”. Wisdom, courtesy, diplomacy, and praise are all weapons. A weapon is anything you can use to achieve your strategic objective. It does not always have to be a physically offensive weapon. - Reno Omokri

I'm proud of my region. Serious people not noise making tribe. In a region that makes big noise, no coordinating plan for their fake political agitation called Biafra. If the SE like they can copy the SW or betray them

LoveThemChubby:
Up until now, the regions with the most agitations (SS and SE) have not come up with anything yet o! If it is to shout resource control now they will be at the forefront. The northern governors and leaders played a fast one for them for the PIB buy they've still not learnt their lesson

Vadese1:
God bless this Southwest governor's. As usual, the useless southeast governor's will not say anything, despite the huge marginalization the region has experience from the Bubu government. I'm still waiting for my region , the governor's of the southsouth to come up with there own jare

muykem:
Good to know. Let see other regions proposals too, though I don't believe that Nigeria constitution is our greatest problem but operators.

What will Igbos do with this garbage proposal when our resolution has always been outright dissolution of this useless country? Igbos have made it clear from the onset that we want no part with Aboki savages and their duplicitous yeribanza side-kicks... anything outside of that is a pure waste of time you brainless ape. Lastly how are Igbos the problem of Nigeria when the leaders who have messed up Nigeria have been yorubas and Northerners? when last was an Igbo man president of Nigeria? the worst leadership combination in Nigeria till date remains Buhari and Osibanjo, and last time I checked none of them are Igbos.

True talk, Lagos State is Federal Government project, Oba Dosunmu ceded it to the British in 1861, Britain handed it over to The Federal Government on 1st October 1960, before 1861, Lagos Colony was the property of the Oba of Benin as asserted by Oba Kosoko.

KGD10:


In your Uselesss Fulani brain I guess. Oba of Binin jumped over Ondo and Ogun in between to own Lagos? You dey mad.

Buckeyemedia1:
Why get into words with you illiterate punk? The first Oba of Lagos to be buried in Lagos was Oba Dosunmu, all other Obas before him were buried in Bini.

KGD10:


You dey mad. I ask again, did Binin jump over Ondo and Ogun state in between to own Lagos?

Buckeyemedia1:
In the 16th century, the Awori settlement was conquered by the Benin Empire and the island became a Benin war-camp called “Eko” under Oba Orhogba, the Oba of Benin at the time. Eko is still the native name for Lagos. Lagos, which means “lakes”, was a name given to the settlement by the Portuguese

KGD10:


Ode. Awori was conquered all the way From Bini who jumped over Ondo and Ogun in between and named Lagos a Yoruba word "eko"? Are you using your Uselesssss Fulani's brain?

Buckeyemedia1:


All Obas of Lagos trace their lineage to Ashipa, a war captain of the Oba of Benin. Ashipa was rewarded with title of Oloriogun (or War leader) and received the Oba of Benin's sanction to govern Lagos. Some Benin accounts of history have the Ashipa as son or grandson of the Oba of Benin. Other accounts note that Ashipa is a Yoruba corruption of the Benin name Aisika-hienbore (translated "we shall not desert this place".

Ashipa received a sword and royal drum as symbols of his authority from the Oba of Benin on his mission to Lagos. Additionally, the Oba of Benin deployed a group of Benin officers charged with preserving Benin's interests in Lagos. These officers, led by Eletu Odibo, were the initial members of the Akarigbere class of Lagos White Cap Chiefs.

Prior to the arrival of the British, the Oba of Benin had "the undisputed right to crown or confirm the individual whom the people of Lagos elect[ed] to be their King".

The defeat of Oba Kosoko by British forces on December 28, 1851, in what is now known as the Bombardment of Lagos or Reduction of Lagos, or locally as Ogun Ahoyaya or Ogun Agidingbi (after boiling cannons), put an end to Lagos' s former allegiance to the Oba of Benin.

I HOPE YOU CAN REST NOW DULLARD?

In your deluded Fulani Brain. You haven't answered my question on how Bini jumped over Ondo and Ogun in between them to own Lagos and named it a Yoruba word " eko" with Yorubas in it? You dey mad!

obynzo:


But there is Bauxite in Anambra for example and there is Coal and Limestone in Enugu. Currently Anambra has the largest deposits of untapped Natural Gas. Imo is the 4th Largest oil producing state and Abia has oil for what in God's name are you saying that nothing is in Igbo land?

KGD10:


It's this lie I hate! Zik, Aguiyi Ironsi were the southerners who messed up Nigeria! No dey lie!

Buckeyemedia1:
Conclusion Lagos State, is no man’s land, even the number 1 man of Lagos State Jagaban Borgu aka Bola Ahmed Tinubu is from Osun State. Dare to mess with Lagos State, you will receive the Igboho treatment, Useless tribalistic Illiterate.

Buckeyemedia1:
Please what was the capital of The Old Western Region of Nigeria, (a) Ibadan, (b) Lagos? The right answer will correct your thinking. Mumudey Lagos State is Federal Government property.

mancoconut:


Yeah... I guess Zik and Ironsi resurrected from the dead and caused Nigeria to be in the deplorable and mediocre state that it is now from all the decades of Northern/Yoruba years of military to civilian regimes.

The argument is some people will eventually get it right at some point. Look at Dubai for example, Dubai is just a single province in UAE, but it stands out from other province and set them on a race
