Oba himself has spoken

Pigsandidiots:
Okay, tell the bini and your father to come and change this laguage in lagos.

Habakus:
I understand the Yorubas are doing all they can to enforce the idea that Lagos belongs to them.
They are infinitely scared Lagos is slipping from their slippery grip.
But the question still remains: does Lagos actually belong to the Yorubas? The answer is a resounding NO.
Ambode is just an impulsive , amateur, elected official of the state, and will still vacate the office just like several others before him.
When he leaves, someone who knows the true worth and history of Lagos State would overturn some of these over zealous policies.
The funny thing is that these policies do not in anyway prevent hundreds of buses from different parts of the country flooding into Lagos on daily basis carrying other ethnic groups.
Also, the fact that Lagos State and not Oyo, Ekiti, Edo or any other state for that matter, is keenly contested, tells alot about the true history of Lagos.
I enjoin all well meaning Nigerians - Yorubas, Ijaws Hausas, etc - to ensure the right government that will bring out the true values and potentials of Lagos State is voted in after the impulsive Ambode.

Y0ruba:


Oh, so for Igboland it is a wrong analogy but for Yoruba it is a right analogy.

Who did the Bini tell you they met at Eko? Who did the Bini tell you thy reported to their Oba who sent an army to invade? Who did the Benin tell you gave them the land to settle on? Who did the Portuguese, French and English wrote about to have populated Lagos in the 17th and 18th century and did these Europeans mention Hausa, Igbo and so on?

Igbos are the only group obsessed over Lagos and your obsession over Lagos is a pointer to the fact which the history of your posts prove.

You may want to provide proof Igbos were the first settlers in the East too then?

imhotep:

Respect the elders

Pigsandidiots:
I do and he has a perfect name for you.

Like it or hate it, the Yorubas have taken the bull by the horn. Ambode will forever be remembered for taking this giant step to preserve our language from going into extinction. All Yoruba states MUST enact this law. Let them call it TRIBALISM. We are not the first to do it Nigeria and definitely won't be the last. At least one man put all his tribe man in charge of all our security networks in Nigeria while another allowed his wife to freely steal our Commonwealth.
Our IPOB brothers should learn that fighting is strategic not shouting. Yorubas are being strategic on this issue.

Pigsandidiots:
We should respect our elders bro.

Habakus:

Ijaws, Binis and others have claimed ownership of Lagos with reasonable historical evidences; why should we now accept Yoruba's claim over theirs? Because of the proximity of Lagos to Yoruba states or because of the daily propaganda from Osun State?
Y0ruba, if you wish to discuss the Igbos, create a thread for it and invite some other Igbo-obsessed people there.

imhotep:

Agreed

Pigsandidiots:
Abi o. But we are still waiting for the weeping. Maybe in buhari second term.

jaymichael:
You see these Flat headed cannibals from the erosion ravaged mud Kingdom that consume rotten human flesh, I just wonder if they are just playing silly, trying to be funny or they're just plain stupid, envious and hateful. I realized they are all of these. If I read their nonsense and try to ignore, my conscience sometimes won't allow me not to respond to the silliness that comes out their stinky mouth. Those Osu slaves disgust me. Awon iran Clifford Orji ajeniyan.

Y0ruba:


I don’t know how else to explain to you.

See, Lagos is not a piece of land. If you can read, look up Lagos state creation in google books, you will find that it was created from merging different pieces of Yoruba land from negotiations with the then Western Region.

Lagos state is as a result of merging lands cut out of Yoruba land.

Several evidences point to the fact that Bini’s ownership is restricted to where Oba Eko’s palace is. I don’t know what makes this hard for you to grasp.

Why are you losing sleep over the ownership of Lagos?

For you to re-allot ownership of Lagos you will not only commit genocide on a large scale, you will have to do a lot of work to disputing CMS records, Colonial Reports and Government Gazettes and numerous other evidences all in the Nigerian and British archives because these are the historical evidences on Yoruba ownership, Mr. Man.

Don’t mind them.

Their obsession over Lagos is a major psycohological problem that did not start today. We are all aware of Nnamdi’s Azikwe’s endless fits over inclusion of Lagos Island into Western Region at the constitutional conferences.

What Venice is to the world, is what Lagos is to the average Igbo man. It is the beginning and the end of their economic status & social status. It is a taste of paradise to them and except they flock Lagos, they see themselves as nothing. Thus, they fight tooth and nail over Lagos.

The state will roll out more policies in the years and months to come. It will be an interesting period, these coming months & years for sure.

Pigsandidiots:
[s][/s]Bla, bla bla. Ijaw ko, anjoro ni. Bini ko, basin ni. They should come out na. Oh, mean they bring claim by jumping over ondo, oyo n ogun to claim lagos? Wait o, no be sam habakus that was telling me there is another place that bound edo n lagos together apart from ogun be this but when asked to bring tje prove of the boundary, ran away hehehe. Ask him to bring out ijaw n bini prove again and see how he will run away.

imhotep:

The weepers simply refuse to accept the no-mans-land status

Pigsandidiots:
Talk true, that law pain our Igbo to bone marrow... But let continue proving what we know is not possible.

Habakus:

See why I didn't want to discuss important issues such as the topic with you? You tend to trivialise every thing. Enjoy.

Habakus:

Go to court and do what?
Are Yorubas in Lagos in anyway stopping other ethnic groups from coming to Lagos and living freely just like the Yorubas there?
Yorubas buy lands and rent shops just like every other person in Lagos state; they enter the same public transport and pay for their fare just like others; they pay tuition fees just like anyone in Lagos.
So why should I go to court?

Habakus:

This is becoming a back and forth, but I'll indulge you again.
Can you provide some of the 'several evidences' that prove that Bini’s ownership is only within the Oba's palace?
Maybe this will settle this particular issue for the Binis.

Pigsandidiots:
Guy, stop wasting your time on that boy, ask him to bring out the prove and see him run away. He told me sometimes ago that there is another boundary that link edo to lagos apart from ogun. Even ogun has no boundry with edo. Id you see the way he was beating chest that day, i asked for the name of the boundry and the prove. Bros, till this moment, that guy has not given the name o, talkless of prove. He is only practising his writing skill. Oya, ask him for the claim he has been shouting and i will bend if he give you.

jaymichael:
Yes. When dealing with those clowns, I don't even act civil anymore. I found out that educating them with facts is like educating a PIG. a big waste of time. No wonder that scum Nnamdi Kanu gave them a befitting name PIGS and IDIOTS. I give them in back in their own coin, CRUDE and BRUTAL.

Y0ruba:


LOL

Baba I can attest to what you said about wasting time.

The thing is, the Igbo like most other people of other ethnic groups in Nigeria do not read. They only go with narratives that appeal to emotion and this is why we keep having this debate, like other matters, every year in spite of the fact that archival documents (colonial reports, gazettes, church records, explorers journals etc) abound and are waiting to be read but no, we won’t read.

People go just enter NL begin throw comments that will put them in bad positions in their place of economic refuge.

Y0ruba:


Is reading your thing? If yes, please explore googlebooks for the information you need. You may also start by quickly looking through Wikipedia for pointers to where Benin Kingdom extended to in Lagos.

Habakus:

Well, I thought as much. The one opportunity given to you to substantiate your point and you resorted to rhetorics.

Guestlander:


The most amazing thing to me is that some of them actually believe the falsehood they spew out daily on nairaland especially about Lagos . This is why they are having this emotional response to this law.
If they are so aggrieved why can they simply sue the LSG.

Habakus:

All these Yoruba subgroups you mentioned migrated to Lagos just like the Ijaws and binis about the same period, with some other ethnic groups migrating to Lagos even earlier than some of the Yoruba subgroups you mentioned.
How you then insist Lagos is owned solely by the Yorubas is still a mystery and proper history revisionism that is keenly contested by others including the Oba of Lagos himself.
I really don't want to drawn into this argument again as it has been rehearsed on this forum severally.
