Gbadebo is mixing up Lagos Island the FCT with Lagos State
Over 95% of Lagos State Land Mass belonged to Awolowo’s Western Region
“Gedebe L’Eko wa “ only applied to Lagos Island O!
even they wholeheartedly joined the Western Region later

Lagos FCT is the dot in the Map below of the Western Region
Even Lekki was in the Western Region
At Independence the British gave all of Lagos to Awolowo

Chinde Vivor Rhodes aka omo nna will never win a motor park chairmanship in Lagos. The bastardd was merely hallucinating from mkpúru mmiri to even think he can become governor in lagos.

You are correct but that terminology of FCT is wrong it never applied in Lagos
Former federal capital full stop

The first time FCT appeared in our vocabulary was in relation to Abuja

Of course, Lagos culture is entirely different from those of average Yorubas...

The Awori, Egun, Badagry and some other indeginous tribes in Lagos have some kind of distinct culture from the average Yorubas


It's the emigration of Yorubas from Northern part of Lagos, with the immigrants leading as top officials in the state making it the reasons the Lagos state is having some semblance of Yorubas in it. Even the Ijaws and Edos will claim Lagos state as theirs first before even any Yoruba will attempt to


Indeginous Lagos names like Coker, Hundeyin, Gbadamosi, Funsho, Bucknor, Sarumi etc have little or no meaning in Yoruba. Even the culture of Eyo was alien to the Yorubas, Eyo masquerades is indeginous to Lagosians which the Yorubas have adopted as theirs , in the Yoruba folklore, there was nothing like masquerade as they have it today in Eyo... The Yoruba culture could be akin to that of the Hausas.


The case of indeginous Lagosians could be seen in same light to those of Kalabari in Rivers State where but Igbo and Ijaw is seen as forming that language.

That is exactly what I was saying
You left out Ikeja which then was practically all of Lagos City outside the Island
It was Solid Western Region
That was why I included the Map of the Western Region

This sounds like comedy...

Lagos culture is different from Yoruba cultures even though they share the same culture, the same language, the same food, the same sense of being and form .

His imaginary Yoruba father and igbo mother did not educate that bigoted element that Lagos is the industrial and commercial capital of Nigeria today because of Awolowo.

Lagos is a commercial and the largest industrial base in Nigeria because the Yoruba people built industrial estates that still supplies most of the goods and services we consume in Nigeria from Apapa industrial, Ikeja industrial, Mushin industrial, Ilupeju industrial estates were all built by Yoruba people.

Lagos is Yoruba land and so it shall remain till the end of time regardless of the ignorant and insulting rubbish from that ill brought up, mannerless and bigoted Biafra losers masquerading as Yoruba man.

Yoruba people don't go out of their way to trash, insult, denigrate and discount their own own people and even if truly thia man is Yoruba, we all know Igbo people won't vote for him or even support him, they are supporting and promoting him because he's igbo. Period.

Egun is not Yoruba. They have distinct language, art, rituals and spirituality.

Gajagojo:
Now to the question of Indigenous peoples
I am not one who subscribes to the idea of Oduduwa as a common ancestor

Also the original idea of "Yoruba" historically applied strictly to O yo people and that is why it was called an empire.
If you cross over to Benin Republic in Ajase you will understand better. Generally the Yoruba speaking people there often call themselves. [b]Ife[/b]Again
So this concept of calling everyone Yoruba is a consequence of the Nigeria state creation
People identified as Ijebu,Egba ,Ondo ,Ekiti,etc and these were clearly understood to be Nations
They had a few things in common,
Tracing ancestry to IleIfe
Use of Ifa divination
Language and costs were largely similar with some variations e.g they all practised female circumcision except the Ijebu.
In the riverine areas they worshipped water deities not known in the interior and had greater affinity and interaction with Ijaw people and Edo people whereas up North there was interaction with Nupe Igala and Hausa

Son to that extent there has never been one Yoruba Nation which tells me that indigenous peoples who call themselves Yoruba today have diverse origins and influences.
It is claimed by some that Oduduwa came about 1000 years ago to Ife and established a new dynasty kicking out the old one. To me that is a probable story.

My point is today in Nigeria we have people identifying as " Yoruba" but their cousins in Benin Republic never call themselves so
Also there is a remnant group in Ugbodu Delta state that also don't call themselves Yoruba. But Lukumi
No one should feel threatened by any of this once you understand the background,the commonalities and differences as well as what has changed,how and why.

One needs to be familiar with terms like Aku,Eku,Anago,Olukumi,Lukumi etc

It is worth reading about the Oku people of Sierra Leone

The Oba of Badagry wears an Ife Beaded Crown

The Egun descended from the Olupopo the Son of Oduduwa

They migrated from Ile Ife
and adopted the Language of the Fon of Dahomey who they intermarried with

They are Gbe Speakers of Yoruba Ancestry
Their Awori Cousins gave then land to settle on after they fled the King of Dahomey’s
Wars in the 17th Century
Ouidah in Benin Republic was their Original Homeland


Gbadebo Rhodes doesn’t know or understand the History of Lagos

killsmith:

Stop trying to force your identity on them. They are not Yoruba. They have a different language and culture. Does the yoruba have the zangbeto masquerade? Does the yoruba have the "v" alphabet in their language? The Oba is aholu melu toyi... Is that a Yoruba name?

Put aside the unverified history you wrote, does the Egun presently share any cultural similarities with yorubas?
