Why would anyone want to be called a Lagosian ?

Chinom:

Mr. wake up from your dreams. What you said here is complete rubbish. These people you mentioned above should have stopped selling their lands 60 years ago. Right now, they don't own jack. Just like the Native Indians in the USA, the so-called indigeneous Lagosians have lost it all. There situation is even worse than that of the Indians because the Indians were forcefully removed from their lands. They were forced to give it up.
The original Lagosians SOLD theirs. Apart from Igbos, Hausas and SS peoples, a sizeable chunk of Lagos Island are now in the hands of Isrealies and Chinese people.Even the new Lekki Free trade zone is being given to the chinese on a platter. Besides, the the indigeneous Lagosians had no hand whatsoever in what Lagos is today. It started with the British and was perfected by past Military regimes when Lagos was the national capital.
Back to the topic, Lagos is NOT a no man's land. Everybody who is born, raised, resides or own property in Lagos is a Lagosian. Some of us have the luxury of claiming both Lagos and our home states too. Every Igbo man that has a landed property in Lagos, has one in his home town too. The Geographical location called Lagos belongs to us all now. The civil administration of Lagos would remain in the hands of the Lagos Yorubas,but that means nothing. Do you ever imagine that Fashola can wake up one day and drive the Dangotes, Ibrus, Ibetos or the Ubas(Capital oil) out of Lagos ?.That will never happen. Lagos is the one of the main reasons Nigeria will never break up. WE ALL BUILT IT.

the people your are addressing are either kids or dont know anything about nigeria , in their mind a day will come when they will drive out non yorubas from lagos, just sit back and laugh at their stupidity, i also wonder how they plan to drive out the indians, lebanese, chinese, koreans etc who own many lands and properties on the island worth billions of dollars.

bashr8: shut up or answer his question and stop ranting like a mad dog. dont ever bring igbo into this matter again unless u can explain why yorubas are being deported from lagos.

those deported to Anambra are Yorubas? Or u sold ur brain during ur last trip to Malaysia?

Land-Use Act Lagos State

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
 The Land Use Act is being treated, with consciousness of the old tenure system as this adversely affect housing development.

 The government continues to appeal to various communities to donate land for development purposes despite the fact that the government arrogated ownership and control of all land in the country to itself.

 The policy contains some ambiguities, which are tinderboxes ready to explode at the slightest prodding. The policy implies that it is the ‘occupier’ of the land at the time of the promulgation of the Decree who is entitled to Customary Certificate of Occupancy to any plot of land. The Act assumed that both the person with the traditional title to the land and his tenants as well as sublease holders are equally entitled to a grant of Certificate of Occupancy on the land they are cultivating. This provision is conflicting and should be reviewed.

 Non-compliance with the absolute statutory provision as conditions for revocation; which the state partially observes renders revocation exercise of such void. That is, notice purportedly given by publication in the newspaper or by any other method without following the provision of Section 44 on this is void. Hence, certain revocation activities leading to forceful land acquisition and consequent eviction is illegal.

 Although a revocation made in compliance with the relevant provision of the Act is valid, it may be declared void by the Court if the acquisition was not made to fulfill the legitimate ends of government but simply to transfer the required land to an individual or group of persons with certain vested interest. This issue is actually prevalent in Lagos State as the government wrongfully connive with such an individual or group of persons to execute demolition and forced eviction. A recent instance is the case of Makoko community land that was demolished by the State Government on behalf of Coker family. This is an illegal alliance and exercise.

 A practicable ratification process should be integrated to the allocation policy particularly, to incorporate the interest of people who have encroached on certain government acquired land as a result of lapses from the latter. Hence, the need for regularization of titles for the people to enable them secure good titles to land and harmonize development is indispensable.

i wonder too , well dont blame them some people have only been or stayed in lagos all their life so they think lagos is the best thing that have happened to them . they ned to travel often to other cities to realize they live in slums in lagos.

Aigbofa:

When I think your real intention is to become omo onile yourself, I find it hard to support you on this.

It's possible, I have seen an igbo man claiming omo onile in ogun state. They call him baba oyinbo. The guy is now late though.

truth4meal: those deported to Anambra are Yorubas? Or u sold ur brain during ur last trip to Malaysia?

they are not igbos either at least majority of them , meanwhile answer me since you non indegens of lagos like to attach yourself under "one yoruba " why are yorubas being deported from lagos ? why do aworis keep warning non lagos yorubas about their activities in lagos?

bashr8: the people your are addressing are either kids or dont know anything about nigeria , in their mind a day will come when they will drive out non yorubas from lagos, just sit back and laugh at their stupidity, i also wonder how they plan to drive out the indians, lebanese, chinese, koreans etc who own many lands and properties on the island worth billions of dollars.

there is no need driving pple out as long as they understnd dey are indians, lebanese, chinese, koreans - dats what igbos don't want to come to term wit and dat is y we deported their asz to anambra

bashr8: i wonder too , well dont blame them some people have only been or stayed in lagos all their life so they think lagos is the best thing that have happened to them . they ned to travel often to other cities to realize they live in slums in lagos.

Lagos is chaos. Even though I own properties in the best part of Lagos, it never occured to me that I should claim am Lagosian cos Lagos is nothing compared to that peaceful village I was born. No one prays to die in Lagos...lol, its like dying in hell fire.

Anyone with a birth certificate registered by the Lagos State Government is a Lagosian, simply put, anyone born, bred and buttered in the center of excellence is a Lagosian. the rest is politics.

so why did you also deport fellow yorubas to oyo, ekiti etc ? i guess they didnt come to terms with it too . do you see the confusion here or are you just myopic like many of you , secondly those people are not igbos except a hand few out of 9 busses , peter obi is already making arrangements to send them back to lagos with heavy excort , they are from north , middle belt, yorubaland and ss .

.....while the Native American Indians could actually demand and get their lands back (with the help of the UN)if the USA was not so powerful, the Lagos Yorubas have no where to turn to. We've still got the RECEIPTS.

A lagosian is one whose ancestry is in lagos...for those saying lagos is a no mans land,u pple want to become Governor in lagos uhn abi ur dull head did nt do geography nd mapwork in school or didnt u check d map?

am from Ile-Ife and a proud one for that matter, my spouse is d grand daughter of Olumegbon ajaye corrupted to Ajah - so I can defend Lagos not claim it - no yoruba was deported to anambra maybe u mistake Emeka " a d'eko de re"

Why would Fashola deport Nigerians from Lagos ? Where in the Nigerian constitution is he legally empowered to do so. I thought Fashola was a member of SAN and that he should have understood the constitution better.

if they ask you for ur state of Origin - you will say "Lagos" abi? If they ask for your Nationality you will "lost tribe of Isreal" - you pple don't exist and its not ur fault u lost ur sense and history to d civil war

i guess you can be in lagos and tell me what is happening here, like i said and like the post itself reads those people are not igbos and some are yorubas, just be ready to welcome them cus the buses should have passed ogwasiuku by now on its way back to lagos. apart from the recent incident how come lagos have been deporting yorubas from ife too ? do you have an explanation for that mr defence minister.


Giving a breakdown of the statistics, Badru revealed that Sokoto State had the highest number of beggars with 196 arrested on Lagos streets, followed by Oyo State with 83, Kano State 75, Osun State 67, Ekiti 21, while Ondo State had seven.

We all built Abuja, not Lagos. Ibeto or no Ibeto, none of them was invited to Lagos, they all came on their own volition. As far as the current arrangement goes, you don't own Lagos any more than you own Kano, Maiduguri, Jalingo or Sokoto.

my friend shut up , no igbo man is from lagos state same as yorubas that dont have ancestery there. do you have a brain at all .i wonder why the east keep feeding you people with oil money cus its just waste of time. only bastards and a destitutes depends on revenue from another mans land to sustain its economy and feed its people

I think most people who claim to be Lagosians are actually those who dont even own a stake in Lagos. Cos last I checked the most expensive estates in the Island are occupied by people one can term non-Lagosians, so I guess its a cursed to even be called Lagosian

Lagos should've been like Cape Verde if not for all the scroungers who migrated from different areas to overpopulate the damn place...The beautiful sea coast, the lagoons, palm trees etc...

Take all your businesses and other stuffs out there and let the state be sane again...

Old Lagos > New Lagos - you just need to listen to my pops and his brothers talk about how great Lagos used to be back in the day...

Some people need to understand that there's a difference between State of Origin & Place of Birth. The benefits accrue to both are also different, at least in the Nigerian context.

For instance, my parents are from Abia, I cannot say my state of origin is Borno just bcoz I was born in Maiduguri. Borno is just my place of birth, Abia state is my state of origin where I can claim all Abia indegene rights.But not Borno except there's a constitution change 2moro.

In elementary Government and Social Science, you were thought that there are many means of becoming a citizen, you just analysed Citizenship by naturalization. Have you forgotten the other 5 means of becoming a citizen or you want me to remind you of them. I guess you have forgotten.

Abuja is the "new" Lagos. When El-Rufai said that 70% of the properties in Abuja are own by Igbos, he is basically saying that Igbos own Abuja. But Abuja is sooo young compared to Lagos.

Oh Yea ? And I am a fisherman ? And you are the fish. I can smell the amala in your breath from here. Tell me more about the meaning of "Deportation", Mr. tribal pig
