In recent times yoruba residents have stood up to claim that yoruba owns lagos, but the question is, why did the government give it such a name?
In a country,what the government say is likely to be what the people say, when lagos was nicknamed no mans land, why didnt they oppose the name how they are doing today.
Is it because certain tribes (especially igbos) have helped developed lagos into a city, and they have made money from the population and investments in lagos, now lagos city is going to a higher level, why not let the tribes that help build it live in it as one nigeria.
Another city is been built over a decade now called eko atlantic, the immediate rejection of other tribes investing in such an environment is an abomination by them, thinking that the igbos will buy 70% of the land or own 70% of properties there,the now tend to protest against another tribe buying properties there, i taught we are one nigeria.
I was watching news and a yoruba resident said he came from togo or so, those it mean that we are catering for another extra population from togo and benin, early this month was migrants from togo and benin, why is that so?
MY QUESTION IS SIMPLE
1- what was the original name of lagos before the benin conquered it and named it eko( meaning farm or field) ?
2-what were the original yoruba name for victoria island ?
3-why is it that lagos is 60% yoruba, 30% igbo,and 10% other tribes, ?
I thought that as indigenes u ar supposed to be 90% to 95%.
4-why is that the oba of lagos is from a banished ancestor from benin kingdom?


I will be very much glad if you answer the questions



And also please, tell me why there is no letter "Z" in yoruba language.
Does it mean they are nt complete?

The yoruba empire must be big to have stretched from ghana to benin to togo to nigeria, why no actualize that empire, destined to be the giant of africa.

Defend ur self with facts PLEASE

This shiit is turning to communal madness for these folks. You lot are not the only one in Lagos, you irritants should stop bleating like cursed goats.

Lagos is not a no mansland! It belongs to evry nigerian. As an igboman,I can lay claim 2 lagos if I decide 2moro 2 live,work n pay taxes in lagos.and so it iss for any oda nigerian. Any yoruba or hausa fella can lay claim 2 orlu or aba if s/he decides 2 live, work n pay taxes in any of dose places.nigeria is for nigerians irrespectiv of tribe.Dis lagos ado is really abt nuffn!

Some people are never tirrd of looking for trouble.

Dont mind those mofos, they are the only tribe making the loudest noise about. They claim they developed lagos with their STREET HAWKINGS, 2 by 2 SHOPS, SALE OF SUBSTANDARD PRODUCTS etc, while they left their ancestral land under developed. NDI ARA

Because we dont even know whose state of origin is lagos state anymore.
The no mans land was actually mistaken.... I think i even find it more surprising if someone tells me they r from Abuja

your points are clear...
I insist that lagos is a no man's land...
what's lagos in Yoruba??

Lagos is my land, U folks should backoff!! Nonsense
