Governors Tinubu and Fashola
are all citizen of neighbouring
states of Osun and Ekiti and
technically should not claim Lagos.
**deportee Uchenna's great
grand parents came to Lagos in
the 1920s as produce sellers. His
grandfather, his immediate father
and himself were all born in
Lagos.
**yet Uchenna was arrested for
selling on the street, detained in a
secret detention camp and
cargoed to a State he has never
visited before.
Lagos was the former Capital of
Nigeria and still the commercial
capital of the Country. Being the
former Federal capital, many
Nigerians were posted,
transferred or secured a jobs to
work in the Federal civil services.
Others set up business that was
serving the increasing Lagos
Population.
According to the last census,
about 85% of residents of Lagos
are either visitors or people who
choose to settle in the city
through different generation.
The question Remains, Who
actually owns Lagos. since Gov
Fashola deported 72 Igbos from
Lagos to Onitsha. The deportees
had all been earlier detained in
“warehouses” in Lagos and some
in the neighbouring Ogun region
for months before their
deportation to Igboland. Many of
the deportees are children and
older people and some have
disabilities.
From records the last two
governors of Lagos state are not
originally Lagosians, but the 'real
owners' accommodated them to
the extent of allowing them to vie
for elective positions in the state.
PROFILE::
1] Bola Tinubu.
*Status: Politician.
*State of Origin: Osun state.
*Father's State of Birth : Osun
state
*Position: Former Lagos state
Governor.
2] Babatunde Fashola
*Status: Politician.
*State of Origin: Ekiti state.
*Father's State of Birth : Ekiti state
*Position: Current Lagos state
Governor.
3] Uchenna Amadi
*Status: Trader (Roadside).
*State of Origin: Lagos state.
*Father's State of Birth : Lagos
state
*Position: Deported To Onitsha.
This is where the confusion
comes in, in determining the
actual owner of Lagos. Governors
Tinubu and Fashola are all citizen
of neighbouring states of Osun
and Ekiti and technically should
not claim Lagos. The deportee
Uchenna's great grand parents
came to Lagos in the 1920s as
produce sellers. His grandfather,
his immediate father and himself
were all born in Lagos, yet he was
arrested for selling on the street,
detained in a secret detention
camp and cargoed to a State he
has never visited before.
The question remains, who owns
Lagos and who should have the
right to deport a Nigerian that
was born and lived his whole life
in a particular state, irrespective
of his offence, handicap or health
situation?
WHO owns Lagos?

Lolz. So, Uchenna Amadi is from Lagos and Babatunde Fashola is from Ekiti?

Where is Uchenna Amadi's family house in Lagos?

Posters like the OP are the reason why condoms should be free and abortion legalized.

If you like keep twisting stories and springing up blatant lies that only fools like you can belief....

Your grandfather settles in Lagos hundred of years ago and you are still selling gala and lacasera on the road side in moving traffic and can't communicate in the Yoruba language.

Pathetic liars like Adaobi of Anambra

Smh! See Biafran sense... If this is the kind of reasoning you all have, then it is no wonder you have never tasted power. Big shame

@OP, are u thru wit ur rants and tantrums? Ok get a life n leave dat keyboard.

Where are my modz when l needed them most.

@op or Igbo, be sincere with ur self and have the fear of God by saying the truth
When relocation was happening to our northern brothers and sisters , how do you feel ?
Pls i beg you in the name of God , pls reply me.

What a silly topic..!

People should rather concern about developing their region instead of many cries here and there of who owns Lagos.

Definitely nigeria will break up one day.

Yorubest: [b]You can't be from Lagos and your name will be Uchenna

Lagos is historically, [b]economically and politically a Yoruba enclave

I would suggest you guys devote energies to developing your region than pushing so hard for what has never been and will never be yours

You petitioned the FG and nothing has come out of it

You threatened and your ultimatums elapsed and still yet you cowardly kept mute

If you know what we did was wrong, you can challenge us in court because as it stands today, we are all under Laws of Nigeria

[/b]

Firstly, you are wrong about the bolded.

If we are to sincerely take a look at the ops write up, we would agree that uchenna is more a Lagosian than fashola or Tinubu. That he doesn't have a good means of income that he can boast of, and the others have, does not make them more Lagosian than him. Remember when Lagos was the capital, resources where taken from his land to develop Lagos as it is of Abuja today. Unless if truely Uchenna can't relate in any other Language apart from igbo. That would likely make his story false.

This issue is a sensitive one, and can really determine the next phase of planning by the federal government. Let us tread, with our brains.

Obama would never have been deported back to Kenya if he was a miscreant.

Ibos like to make caricature of themselves anywhere they are accommodated all over the world by their reasoning we shall know them the OP of this thread is a typical ibo man Amadi great grandparents came to lagos in 1920 as produce sellers (parasites) and were allowed to blossom now Amadi owns lagos foooooooooooooooooooools ibos can't ever kearn am not surprised ibos doesnt ve clan ode (oriki) they are wanderers tomorrow they will be claiming Jewish ancestry bigots

WHY ALWAYS LAGOS?..

You should be more concerned about the fulani cattle guys maiming your people in Imo

I thought you Ibos have learnt your lessons during the last civil war, but alas, I was wrong. You lost everything both human and material that you had in Nigeria from the North to the West and only got 200 pounds. You ought to learn from your fathers' mistakes, but you never will. Now you have started again, come on; bring it on; start another war; from the internet to the street and see if there will be any tribe called Ibo or Igbo or Biafra again. The few hundreds of you that will remain will probably be in Israel where you claim its your root and the Arabs will be waiting for you with their bombs because there is no peace (or piss) for the wicked, obedience is better than sacrifice. I just feel bad for you because I have meet some really really good Ibos even on Nairaland; but majority of you are still living because it is illegal to kill and you are yet to declare another unprepared war so that we (Yoruba/Hausa/Fulani/Kanuri/Igbira/Gwari/Edo e.t.c. including the Fulani cattle rearers) shall wipe you off the planet.

You own Lagos ko, your father own Lagos ni. That was how some nonentity Ibos contested election as Lagos State Governor sometimes ago and could not even get up to 5,000 votes out of your so called 40% Ibo population in Lagos. Your handshake is extending beyond the elbow; it is now becoming wrestling and we are ready for you.

Lagos was built with the collective resources of the whole Nigeria.The problem with most people who argue blindly is tribalism and lack of knowledge.Read this if you are educated

Lagos traditional leaders own Lagos.

Check Fasholas family history. His fathers ancestry was detailed in a report during his burial. They are omo eko isalegangan with agbole and oriki.
