WHY DO MAJORITY OF YORUBA CLAIM LAGOS AS STATE OF ORIGIN WHENEVER THEY ARE OUTSIDE YORUBALAND.

Inferiority complex!

This your question is explainable for the Yorubas.Hausas don't claims Lagos,it is only ibos that want to know why Yoruba owns Lagos.Back to your question, Lagos is popular in south west,in Nigeria,in African even in the world.

Why do people make statements that are not based on facts?
There are some 40 million Yorubas, how many of them have you met personally? How many of these 40 million people have told you they are from Lagos?

Better question should be why the op have refused to use the brain freely given to him by his creator?

Stupid question from useless Op

Lagos is not part of Western Nigeria in the Nigerian constitution, Lagos is a former capital of Nigeria and developed by Nigeria money, no tribe in Nigeria has wright to claim Lagos as it own, lagos is owned by Nigerians who invested in it, it is a NO MAN LAND for all Nigerians been the former capital of Nigeria for decades. The only indigenous people in Lagos is the Aworis, Egun and Ijaw and rest are migrants. Abuja is been developed with Nigeria oil money now after former tribes living in it will come claim Abuja as their own and start threatening other Nigerians that have invested heavily in it to make it what is it to leave Abuja for them just like what some Yorubas is doing in Lagos. They want to reap where they did not sow.

everybody is a tribalist but not fighting it is bad. In some case you are right. Lagos as a former capital of Nigeria is developed by blood and sweat of nigerians from 1960 till date. But let me correct it u where u are wrong. Lagos is there before the white came to Africa and it was named lagos by the potuguese. The british met some people that sold slaves to them and this people are yorubas even the slaves are also yorubas that is why oba dosumu and kosoko fight for kingship. Moreso all those u mention the aworis, ilajes are yorubas just like the ijesa,ijebu,ekiti,igbomina etc. I believe u have dialect and tribes in ur own plkace too. The british ruled lagos isolately of the other yoruba lands because oba dosumu/kosoko sign the document jaja of opobo refuse to sign. Later the yoruba kingdom broke down from internal strife but the british ruled lagos has independent colony. Check all the towns in lagos u will see they are yorubas, giving them english named don't change them. E.g ebutte meta, oshodi, ikorodu, abule egba,eko, etc. Even yoruba gods are worshipped in these places. In Nigeria constitution every land belong to NIGERIA, although some may have their ancestory tied to a place

Lagos off course is in South western Nigeria, but Aworis and Eguns are the original inhabitants, the Yorubas conquered them just like how Bini king conquered Lagos before but later handed it back, Aworis and Egun as conquered people assimilated Yoruba culture even till date a Yoruba person cannot understand Awori language when they are speaking it, it just like Hausa and Fulani , an Hausa person don't hear Fulani the same for Hausa. Before the coming of white people Yorubas have already conquered the Aworis, Egun and ijaws at a time Lagos was a conquered territories of Benin kingdom.

Yellowbars are impostors. Igbo own the Ragos state. After Igbos developed and build Lagos finish, the Yellowbar people want to come and steal if from Igbos. My friend Nnamdi brought the 3rd mainland bridge from Nsukka. His blother Ofoma carried the Carter bridge Come from their "VIRRAGE" It is chinedu that carried Eko bridge come from Ariara. Emeka coupe built National theater and Teslim balogun stadium. High chief Ichie ozo cletus Otimkpu (importer exporter forwarder international) built Apapa port, he carry Tincan come from Aba. Emeka (aka meku Japan) bought all the land from those OWODA OMONILE and build all the house in VI and Ikoyi. Even Yuzedo know Igbo traders in balogun and trade fair have bought all the houses in Banana Iceland. All roads in Lagos is built by the igbos through igbo tax. We Igbo people carry all the company and industrial estates Come from alaigbo.
Chai yellowbar peoples na wah. They want to steal awa Ragos flom awa Igbo blothers.

At the bolded...That solved it.
Many flaties are ignorant of this fact..

What's ibo/SE business with what goes within SW/yoruba land?

Any yoruba man from lagos, ibadan, osun,ogun, ondo can lay claim of lagos.
It's their inheritance, their region, our land and investment.

Ibo should please go back to their land and leave yoruba land abegg

Only yorubas? Igbos too claim Lagos

These yerubas could be very funny. They call igbos land grabbers when they want to claim their brothers and sisters in the niger delta but they are ready to claim aworis and eguns.

How it take Konsign you?

Kyase:
Only yorubas? Igbos too claim Lagos

Every igbo I've met claim Lagos....No igbo wants to claim igboland.

op you are a classic fo*ol. you think Yorubas are like your people from the South East?

no Ondo man will ever claim Lagos, nor will any Ibadan man, nor Oyo and so on and so forth.

I wish I could slap your brain from here and help you jump start it.

bro calm you don't need to distort history to butress ur point. First onthe issue of Bini, the word bini itself is yoruba. Bini and Yorubas are like sister nation to the east and we are sister nation to the Nupes. Sango mother is from Nupe that and he was raised in nupe land he came to save oyo when oyomesi depose ajaka the weakling although ajaka came back to become a wicked and war monger king after his brother death. Sorry to digress, I use that to show that there is communication among we people before the white came, it was oranyan that gave bini it name and Oranyan desedents are the today Oba of bini although the boy is of bini woman to oranyan. On the bini story that conquer lagos, well ur story is partly correct, the people bini conquer are slave of Alaafin sent there to offer sacrifice to the ocean but the white calabash refuse to sink, so they refuse to come home to Alaafin to tell him that the calabash refuse to sink, it was this people that were subdue by the latter bini army but were librated when oyo army are fighting the Dahomey. On the language of the awori, like evey dialect it is so different from oyo dialect which is like the standard yoruba. If an ekiti,ijebu,ondo,ilaje,igbomina,ijesa. If all these people speak their dialect no one will understand each other, the oyo dialect is taken as the lingua franca because of the oyo supremacy. Even history only an Oyo man is yoruba and others bear their own name like ekiti, awori, ijesa, ijebu, etc. Go and check the Oriki ( lineage praise ) of the awori u will hear things like awori omo ajeku. The awori are called ajeku ( the one that eat rat) because they are weak. Although the Oyo try to subdue all others as the most dominating side ( mind u the most dominating dialect always tell most story ) why can't u say ijebu are not yoruba just because we called them ijebu or awori. The Yoruba nation is split by the europeans without course or respect for us. There are togolese,beniose yorubas. There are yorubas in kwara and kogi. The urhobo seems like another another sister nation to the yorubas. Please brother don't let us destroy the little of our history that is left for us by the Europeans. They destroy us and write lies for us as our history. The littlke that remains we should not let sentiments and petty politics destroy it. Moreso, just as the Bini borders the yoruba, they also borders the igbos and ijaws,itsekiris. We people mis before the european came and we know our selves and boundary but the europeand came and do ojoro.

If I should continue I won't finish, history is too long to put in a book talkless of a comment. On the part of Eguns, we OYOs call the Eguns subhuman, like any super power u must discriminate to overcome. The eguns too are yoruba but we don't relate with them. I wish I know ur nation/tribe ( I don't like tribe, it is archaic and discrinatory) I would have use it to butress my point. Remember Hitler try to brink all germanic tribe to germany, but not all of them speak german proper. The ruler of adamawa was complaining that half of his kingdon is in cameroun, just like tthe bakassi belongs to the itsekir/urhobo

Awori are just like Ijebu , ondo, Ilajes anybody saying they are not yoruba is making a fool of himself.

Is just like saying obasanjo is a hausa man

Some ppl have block head in Lagos state only lagos island was ceded to the British for administration by bribing akintoye. Also akintoye used the British as an ally to fight kosoko. Akintoye was place on an annual salary of 1000 pounds way back in 18th century plus ammunition s.

If an igbo Man calls an Asaba man, ikwere man, opobo man or Ndoki Man his brother u yoruba's will go "hair wire "
Isn't dat hypocrisy at its peak?

As far as I am concern

There re only three tribes in Nigeria
IGBO
HAUSA
YORUBA

every other one are "sub tribes" as a result of inter marriage, displacement, and resettlement

My thought though!!!!

but they live in Lagos nau! those who live in Lagos own Lagos simple. u can live in a rusted roof in Ogbomoso and claim to own lagos jst because u are from a particular tribe
