So ambode is not even from lagos, so is his godfather.
Bastards!!!

#team JK

Olaolufred:


Calling someone a bastard is just an opinion.
It really does not mean that the one who made such assertion is not one.

Dharniel:


No, i'm not. Me saying "bastards" doesn't mean i meant it literally.

Olaolufred:


Good to note your good disposition.
However, it is of no use saying what you don't mean.

Lagos' real name is Eko. Lagos is the name given by the Portugese merchants. I think it means water. The natives of Lagos are Aworis who can also be found in the Yewa region of Ogun State, Eguns of Badagry which spreads into areas like Benin Republic and Togo, and Ijebus in Ikorodu and Epe which also spreads into Ogun state. Eyo, Oro, Igunuko are the traditional
masquredes of Lagos.

OP, u dont need to tell ur tribe b4 i knw y u are bias, u said things u dnt even knw, things u are nt sure of, who told u lagos was developed with south-south oil money?

AustineE1:

So by your logic,since indigenous Igbos are found in some part of rivers state and some part of Delta,it is right for me to govern Rivers or Delta,since i happen to be an Igbo from Anambra state....Tinubu is not from Lagos neither is Ambode from Lagos,no justification whatever!stop making silly excuses for them.

AustineE1:

the last time i checked oil drilling started in the late 1950's and more the reason why Nigeria never wanted the old Eastern Nigerian to break away during the Biafra war.Lagos was still the capital of Nigeria till the late 1980s when Gen.IBB moved it to Abuja.The only thing Cocoa did for the Yorubas was the free education Awolowo gave in his days.

U'r still nt sure of what u are saying, have u forgotten that there was a certain time when that cocoa and groundnut was the main source of Nigeria income as a result of xportation? mr. Mario

Your points are not articulate. I gave some information in my post and there are no conflicts. There are Ijaws in Bayelsa state and Delta State and it is true. If you can trace your village and LGA in PH why can't you govern Rivers. Chibuike sounds Igbo to me. Ebele is definately Ibo. Tinubu's mother is from Osun. As a staff of Abibat Mogaji, she was impregnated by one of the Tinubu patriachs and was a well guarded secret because of the status of the Patriach. Stop looking for non existing holes in the history of Lagos.

They are all foolish and will surely repeat their past.

AustineE1:

and your history teacher didnt tell that palm kernel and coal were key sources of income in Nigeria then,or is this another case of selective amnesia.

MugabeRobert:


Another self hating, deluded igbo loon on the prowl. Why don't you start by googling Lagos of 1920s?

Why the fixation on Lagos? Are you idiots not of even ashame of yourselves? Keep fooling yourself.

[size=14pt]CALABAR- BEING THE FIRST CAPITAL OF NIGERIAN STATE,

CAN ALSO BE CALLED A NO-MAN'S-LAND.

SINCE SOME NIGERIA'S WEALTH MUST HAVE BEEN SPENT THEN IN DEVELOPING IT.

I BELIEVE THE LOGIC MUST BE FAIR TO ALL.[/size]

I really do not understand what he is after. Since he insists on believing a lie, there is not much I can do to help him. Even illiterates that crossed the river niger for the first time 2 years dey follow claim Lagos. Despite my hometown been just 45 mins away from Lagos. I can't claim Lagos except by marriage. Why would anyone claim Lagos when you know the way to your village during Xmas.

voxpopp:


Me I sha know without Ibos, Lagos will not develop. Look at the important fields of interest they are well known for.

Prostitution, selling of fake video game discs, fake cds and dvds, fake drugs, peddling of hard drugs, piracy, selling of gala on the highway, selling of okrika clothing items, selling fake vehicle spare parts, importing substandard china goods, importing and exporting aba made clones etc.

This activities are very vital to the economical success of Lagos.

We cannot do without them

They are very vital to us . Pls oba Akiolu, don't kill them for us. We also love their girls with their flat bald heads, moustache, yam legs, and hairy limbs

Mr 'olowole proffessor'as its always common with your people to claim more educated even when the facts are glaring,it is interesting that you know you cant claim Lagos but yet you are defending known thiefs like Tinubu who claim to be more Lagos than true Lagos indigenes.....the serial looter Tinubu is from Iragbiji in OSUN state,Akin Ambode is from llaje ONDO state period,i dont know why you are moulding a mountain out of this simply fact.TRUTH IS CONSTANT.

AustineE1:

...and you forgot to add to your list that they own they houses you live in...hahaha be mindful of quit notice from your landlord.

Lagos as it is known was the former capital of Nigeria and as such a lot were invested in making it what it is by the federal government,using the commonwealth of Nigeria and largerly revenues from the Niger-Delta states.These states includes Delta,Rivers,Cross-Rivers,Bayelsa,Akwa-Ibom,Edo,Abia,Imo,Ondo.
However,the capital statue has long been shifted to Abuja but yet many Nigerians still see it as home and home it is.Back to the topic,who is a Lagosian.A Lagosian,is any Nigerian who is born or lives in Lagos,pays his taxes as at when due,has a meaningful source of income,obeys constituted authorities and contributes to the development of Lagos,regardless of what part of Nigeria he or she is from.
Then this brings to mind the question,who is a true indigene of Lagos, in 'Nigerian context'?In Nigerian context an indigene of Lagos is not a man who was born in Lagos but a man whose father is originally a native of that area,whose origin can be traced to Lagos or as its called in local parlance,'a son of the soil'.So going by this description,you will find out that most people that shout on top of their voices claiming Lagos,are not even from Lagos.
For example,Bola Tinubu a former governor of Lagos is from Iragbiji in Osun State,Akin Ambode presently contesting for Lagos state governorship is from Ilaje in Ondo State.This clearly means that both are not indigenes of Lagos,just like most other people in Lagos eg Hausas,Igbos,Urhobos,Fulanis etc
A true indigene of lagos is the PDP contestant Jimi Agbaje who is from Ikorodu in Lagos state and this explains why he seems to be more popular with the common man in the street and most indigenous Lagosians.
In many quarters,there is call for a true indigene of Lagos to rule Lagos state as it is obtainable in other states.
God Bless Nigeria.
Lagosians must vote wisely
A true indigene deserves to govern Lagos this time around.

AgentMS:
Was anybody invited to come to Lagos, be it the British, FGN or Ibos?

You all came to see the aquatic splendour and your were fixated.

The British have found their way back to UK and FGN to Abuja. Any sad Ibo over Lagos being a yorubaland, can also head back to land of gully erosion where there came from.

Are ibos the only ones in Lagos. Don't we have Hausas, Edos, itshekiris, anang, efik, fulani, gwari, nupe, bariba, tiv, igala etc in the same Lagos.

If they are not trouble makers and finders, why their fixation on Lagos? Do we even know anybody called Igbo in SW till 1930? No.

Has Lagos been thriving before the arrival of the first igboman in Lagos? Capital YES.

Did they made appreciable contribution towards what Lagos is today. A definite and capital YES.

Were they the only one? Capital NO


End of Discussion.

AustineE1:

on a lighter note,do you think that if Igbos decides to leave Lagos and a meeting of cessation of ties was called by UN and Yorubas asked to pay Igbos back money for their investments and other landed properties,do you think that a whole life time,generation to generation, will be enough for the entire yoruba race to refund igbos back?the answer is No!
This then will mean that Yorubas will perpetually be in constant servitude to Igbos.
