lexy2014: no yawa.feel free 2 call me any name u want but just help answer d following questions:
"How was this a great day?was it buhari that built d bus stop?if buhari didnt commision d bus stop will it not function?all d things u showcased, which one did buhari provide?" It is a great day for Lagosians simply because Lagosians not only welcomed the President of Nigeria, the president also commissioned a ground breaking prpject in Lagos State and and kicked off the construction of the largest seaport in Nigeria.
Yes, it's a great day for Lagosians and bad day for hateful, bitter, angry, disgruntled Igbos and anti Nigerian elements....
BTW, this is about Lagosians, not bitter and pained village Igbos 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Biety:
lies all over your post.
As a yoruba man, i've never debated the ownership of lagos with you nonindegenes before because i know there is nothing that can stop lagos from being yoruba land. Aworis, ijebus and eguns are aborigines of lagos, and these three are yoruba subgroups. Edos or whatever you call yourselves have no inheritance in lagos as you are not among the three aborigines of lagos. And concerning the statement you are crediting to OBA Akiolu, He never said lagos belongs to Benin, useless and coveteous people who are jealous of yoruba sucess in lagos did. The monarch had debunked the statement many times, he granted an interview around december last year and told journalists that I NEVER SAID LAGOS DOES NOT BELONG TO YORUBA. Meaning he believes that lagos is yoruba land. friend, no sane yoruba would like to enter into a debate with you concerning lagos ownership cos we know the land is our heritage. Lagos is yoruba land and yoruba land is lagos.
LAGOS IS ANCESTRAL LAND OF EGUNS, IJEBUS AND AWORIS. these three groups are yorubas.
Do you know what aborigine means? How can Aworis (traced to Ile-Ife), Eguns and Ijebus (traced to Ogun) be aboriginal? All three say with their own mouth they settled in Lagos? Meaning they came from somewhere else in the not-too-distant past. The Oba never said one way or the other that Lagos belongs to Yoruba either... what he has said is that Lagos owes its origins to many people. I'll make a parallel... I'd say Yorubas consider Ilorin part of Yorubaland. Who were the original settlers, aboriginals if you will? Certainly not the Yoruba, though it was settled by Yoruba hunters around 1600s-1700s and later became a war camp. Then after Afonja's rebellion it became part of the Sokoto Caliphate. Is Ilorin a Yoruba or Hausa city? Or both? I think it parallels in many ways Lagos. Settled by several, especially Awori and Benin, but not indigenous to either - that's the point I'm making. |

I'm not ipob, just a Nigerian who seeks to enlighten some people who apparently don't understand their own history. Just because you're "such and such" does not mean you understand the entire history. I'm sure you were surprised to learn that Eko, Ikorodu, Oba, are Edo words; that the Oba of Lagos derives from the Oba of Benin; or that Alaafia, Adura, Esin are Arabic words; that Garri is Hausa word; that Cassava (from which garri is derived) was introduced by the Portuguese from Brazil. If it wasn't so recent, you'd probably have thought Lagos was a Yoruba word too 2 Likes |

Such rubbish and silliness matter to your kind only, not Lagosians. Whatever backward village you call home should be your primary worries and preoccupation, not Lagos state and the history of Lagos state.

I'm proud of Lagos but this tribalism/regionalism must stop. Nigerians have made Lagos what it is. Is Lagos only collecting IGR from Yoruba people? Or tax? How many billions of money (cowries, gold, pounds, and now Naira) from Nigerians all over has poured into Lagos? It's a former capital city, a financial, manufacturing, and entertainment hub - and has only become so due to the efforts of all Nigerians. Federal revenue mostly from Palm and Crude oil (obtained elsewhere) has helped it grow.
As for indigine: do we discount all the Benin people and their descendants who've lived and settled Lagos since 1400s? Are they too not indigene? In it's past life as part of Benin Empire (late 1400s till 1861), it benefitted from the largess of that Empire. Its first Oba - Captain Ashipa (some also say his son Ado) in the Benin Empire - to whom all Obas of Lagos trace their lineage, was given Lagos to govern. How does the Oba of Benin give somebody Lagos if Lagos is not part of his Empire?
So please, although Lagos is located in South West Nigeria, it is a serious discredit to call it Yoruba Land: it's a uniquely multi-cultural place with a complex history where many Nigerians can be said to be indigenes. This is not Ife or Oyo - undisputedly Yoruba cities, but a once forlorn beach that has seen waves of immigration and control over the millennia: settled in part by Aworis* - and to a lesser extent Ekiti - (running from war in the Yoruba hinterlands), and settled in parts by the Edos (empire expansion/trade). More recently (over two centuries) it has seen Portuguese, British, Brazilian, Igbo settlers.
In conclusion, I submit for consideration: 1. its two names: Eko (Edo language) and Lagos (Portuguese language) are decidedly not of Yoruba origin (does it even have an originally Yoruba name?) 2. its Obas owe allegiance ultimately to Benin (and not to Oyo, nor to Ife) 3. it has never been part of the Oyo empire, unlike the rest of Yorubaland.
* Authoritative sources (e.g. the current Oba of Lagos) have stated that the Awori people, though found in Ile-Ife, are actually Binis who followed their self-exiled Prince, the first son of the Ogiso (now called Oba) of Benin Kingdom to Ife. Thumbs up, what a convincing argument. |

Terminal Management Mile 2 Concession In partnership with LASWA (Lagos State Waterways Authority), Crownsworth Marine has established a world class Maritime Operation within the Lagos Waterways system. We see the operation of the Jetty Terminal and associated services, as a key point of integration, supporting the development of Lagos Sate and larger Nigerian economy.
Located in Mile2 area of Lagos state, the jetty serves as a ferry transportation center as well as a commercial center comprising of a Shopping Mall, Cinema House, Restaurant and Bar. The terminal not only meets the transportation needs of the population by providing fast and efficient passenger ferries that run from Mile2 to Marina on the island on a daily basis but also meets the social and economic needs of the populace by providing state of the art relaxation centers and also a one stop shopping mall.
Our approach involves opening up the terminals for commercial activities to make them comparable to other world-class terminals in terms of operation. It’s an innovative approach for Africa, but one we believe will not only demonstrate exceptional value, but will also deliver long term sector growth.
The effective management of the jetties within Lagos State, added to Crownsworth Marine’s existing portfolio, will not only assist in growing customer confidence amongst current commuters, but also assist to attract new clients; while at the same time, offering people from local communities the opportunity to enjoy the “family friendly” waterfront facilities on holidays and weekends.
