Its truly a colonial settlement because names like Epe, Surulere, Egbeda, Ilupeju, Shomolu, Mushin, Ajah, maroko etc are all Colonial names.

Its true again because when the colonial masters came, Lagos was empty. there were no human beings there. So the Colonial masters started speaking Yoruba and began to name all those areas above.

Wow. what a revelation.

Funny man. You really think JK will do an Afonja? It's all about votes man. It is wishful thinking to imagine that JK will win and automatically become Azikiwe, the Igbos are being played.

shizzleStar:
Shhhhh!

...and who says we own lagos?? who is claiming lagos?, is it Igbos or yorubas from other South West states who are not even indigenes of lagos that are claiming lagos? how does no mans land mean we own lagos?, is it only Igbos that refer t Lagos as no mans land

Stunner1:





STOP IT!!!!!!
Dnt try to hush me up nexttime

shizzleStar:
Then stop the misinterpretation.

Take correction on claim on ownership and move on.

Stunner1:

I dnt have the time to join words with you

Pls oga no quote my post again[/s]

birdman:


Thats what Afonja thought too. He really just wanted to get into power, not give Ilorin away, but once he created that break, he could not fill the power vacuum quick enough. Of course JK is trying to use the Igbos here, damaging their reputation in the process. But PDP is also playing JK, using him to start an internecine war that will create confusion and a possible power vacuum in Lagos.

Aside sentiments,I am a proud ibo man and I think this man is not speaking the minds of other ibos.I am shocked to say the least and I think this is not good for ethnic relations between the two tribes.I am a historian and I know that Lagos before the advent of colonial masters was already settled by the people of southwest and their is no question of if the land belongs to them.I want to encourage my people in lagos to pursue peace with their host.it will benefit them more.let's not allow politics to becloud our reasoning.after all said and done,its yoruba son in the person of Agbaje or Ambode that will be the governor.what the hell is all these noise about?

God will bless you one million times on Sundays and every other day for speaking the truth.

You will never find a Fulani man calling Lagos a no man's land or a 'colonial settlement.'

A Gwari man, or an Ibibio or even a Bachama person would NOT make that mistake. Yet the Igbo thrive in repeating this fallacy that Lagos is a no man's land or a 'colonial settlement' knowing quite well that it is insulting to the sensibilities of their hosts.

Why??

meforyou1:
Lagos, a conquered colonial enclave, has never been, and will never be yorubaland

Wikipedia:

Area
Lagos has a total of 3,577 square kilometers; 787 square kilometers is made up of lagoons and creeks including: Lagos Lagoon, Lagos Harbour, Five Cowrie Creek, Ebute-Metta Creek, Porto-Novo Creek, New Canal, Badagry Creek, Kuramo Waters and Lighthouse Creek.

Names of Lagos
Lagos means "lakes" in Portuguese, the language of first European-settlers known to visit the settlement,then already inhabited by the Awori people, in 1472.[1] From the first contacts with the region until the early 20th century, another Portuguese name for the city that was interchangeably used was Onim,[2] finally abandonned in favor of Lagos.

Prior to Lagos being adopted, the settlement was called Eko by its Kingdom of Benin conquerors, which stems from either Oko (Yoruba: "cassava farm" or Eko ("war camp".

Founding of Lagos
According to the oral history of Lagos, at some point around 1300-1400 CE, the Oba (King) of the Benin Empire - who used to send trade expeditions to Ghana, where spices were traded - heard from one of his traders complaints about the way she was being treated by the Awori who lived in the area of current day Lagos. The Oba of Benin then sent a trade expedition by sea to engage with the Awori people, who nonetheless declined to engage and attacked the mission sent by Benin.

Upon hearing this as the mission returned to Benin City, the Oba of Benin commanded the assembling of a war expedition, led by Ado, a Benin Prince, which headed to the settlement of the Awori (current-day Lagos; then called Eko by the Benin people) and demanded an explanation.

On getting there, Ado and his army were more than well received - the Awori from Lagos asked Benin Prince Ado to stay there and become their leader. Ado agreed, on the condition that they surrendered their sovereignty to the Oba of Benin, to which the Awori people of Lagos agreed.

Upon hearing this, the Oba of Benin gave his permission for Prince Ado and the expedition to remain in Eko with the Awori. The Oba of Benin later sent some of his chiefs, including the Eletu Odibo, Obanikoro and others, to assist Ado in the running of Eko.

Let me guess...you now speak for all the people that come from Lagos State, abi? ?

You need to take a course in History. Wikipedia is your friend:

meforyou1:
Your response is what we have been saying. Lagos was originally conquered by the benin kingdom. Mr akiolu you call your Oba is a subject of benin empire

laudate:


You obviously did not read the entire portion at the Wikipedia site very well. It is 5 times longer than what was posted here. That is why the source was included.

Before the Benin empire intervened in the area known as Lagos, it was originally inhabited and owned by the Aworis for over 200 years!!

Even the Binis that originally came there to trade, still ended up leaving. Educate yourself before yarning, bros!

meforyou1:
what was the name in the 200 years awry fishermen lived there? And who renamed it Lagos, a Latin name,when and under what circumstances

Canme4u:


The above is the reason we ask Igbo to know their boundry. We didnt stop you from owning property non business. Just that you should respect your host and whatever Yorubas cannot do in your Eastern part of the country, do not do it here in Western states. What you cannot get do not give.

Moreso, I don't like your LAGOS MIGHT BE YORUBA LAND TOO.
LAGOS IS A YORUBA LAND, THE EARLIER YOU STICK THAT TO YOUR BRAIN THE BETTER.

Are we Yorubas asking for too much?

Thanks but no thanks.

Bros, I have posted the links. Go on the internet. Search for information. Google is your friend.

Only 10 year olds expect to be spoon-fed with information.....
