shymexx: Why is this on the frontpage, please??I asked a simple question. Give your answer and move ahead. What has this got to do with disrespect? You guys can just get emotional for nothing. You see nothing wrong with seeing yourself as a Britico but you have a problem with non-indegenes calling themselves Lagosians. Dude, grow up. |

shymexx:Which "English" are you referring to? is it the ethnic group or the country? |
Re: Who Is A Lagosian? by PointB: 1:45pm On Sep 26, 2012 |
I couldn't care less who a Lagosian is, but my point is this, any party that cannot guarantee freedom of movement (especially of none indigenes) in any state in Nigeria should be kicked out in the next election by those likely to be affected. ACN/Tinubu policy is becoming a bundle of nuisance to hard-working people of Lagos state (not minding what has been stolen) |

90% of those in Lagos are NOT of Lagos ancestry. All you other south westerners who feel that you're Lagosians need to visit the nearest Babalawo. If na to speak Yoruba, i know thousands of Igbos that chew the language. True Lagosians tend to bear English last names, and most of Yorubaland do not acknowledge them as true Yorubas. Now the same set of deprived m0fos want to claim it as Yorubaland, when they contributed nothing but touts, paedophiles and rap!sts to the city. Only the whites, and indigenes of Lagos, Ogun, Ekiti, and other tribes, mostly Igbos, Efiks and Ibibios made Lagos. After those states, the rest of Yoruba land can sink for all I care, starting with Ibadan, the disgrace of Yoruba land. |

I AM A LAGOSIAN. I WAS BORN IN LAGOS. MY FATHER WAS BORN AND BRED IN LAGOS. MY GRANDFATHER HAS LANDS IN LAGOS. MY ANCESTORS ARE FROM THE BENIN KINGDOM. ANYBODY WHO HAS A PROBLEM WITH ME CLAIMING LAGOS CAN GO AHEAD AND DIVE INTO THE ATLANTIC OCEAN. 1 Like |

afam4eva: Yes, you live in Lagos. And that's why I said, tell them you were born in Lagos when the shit hits the fan. Or tell them that I opened a thread on NL and asked the question and was told that I am a Lagosian since I was a) born in Lagos or b)migrated to Lagos when I was a child or c) I own many 46.6% of Lagos |

And Lagos was made even before the British set foot on it. |

afam4eva: Who drew the boundary? So because there are Egba and Ijebu in Ogun, there are no Egba and Ijebu in Lagos? Do you know there are Egba in Ibadan? If you don't know the history of the place you are trying to claim, then you have lost the battle even before it begins. 1 Like |

afam4eva: This question is begging for an answer as the lagos state government has embarked on a cleansing of some sort in the state which it has been able to deport some foreigners who are also Nigerians to their states of Origin. The delusion of many people who live in Lagos is that they are Lagosians. Some have branded T-Shirts that read "Lagos Boy", "LasGidi for life" and "Eko oni baje swagger". Now the question is "Who's a Lagosian?". Is it the person that was born in Lagos? The person that has lived most of his life in Lagos? The person who calls Lagos home? Any Yoruba person who happened to move to Lagos? Or is it just those classified as Indegenes of Lagos? What is your obsession with Lagos? A Lagosian is anybody who lives in Lagos and loves Lagos enough not to think of burning it down in the event of break up of Nigeria. That should eliminate most ibos, including Afam4eva. |

Re: Who Is A Lagosian? by maninmood(m): 1:53pm On Sep 26, 2012 |
Once you erect a house in Lagos with all the property papers intact, you are a Lagosian; if you own a business in Lagos and government is generating income from the tax levied on your business, you are a lagosian. Most people claiming 'Lagosian' do not even have a rooted place there. And by the way what benefits come with being a 'Lagosian'? Does it give you free access(visa-free) to some countries? Does your 'Lagos State' government give you your monthly benefit of being a Lagosian? Are you one of those omo-oniles? 2 Likes |

The real lagosians know themselves. They don't have to make noise.They know their history & their culture. If you are a true Lagosian, you'll be surprised that even your Oba {king} or one of his chiefs will know your father just by mentioning your surname & family house. Enough said. 1 Like |

If you say lagos is no man's land , i think you are very stupid to say that . because as i am a proudly lagosian and just because we accommodate other tribes lagos doe'st mean that lagos is no man's land .we don't force anyone to live in lagos and if you don't like it , you free to go back to your village . They need to thank fashola that let Igbo become commissioner in lagos and all ungrateful people still using that dirty mouth to talk trash . Can any igbo state allow yoruba to take any public office in Igbo land ? |
