Lagos is 100% Awori Yorubaland

Unless you are claiming that Ile Ife owns Benin which no Ife or Yoruba person even Claims


By the way you do know that all of Metropolitan Lagos Including Iddo Island excepting Lagos Island alone was under the Egbas Of Abeokuta when the British Arrived

and Badagry plus Seme was under the Alaafin Of Oyo because you somehow manage to forget about their Kingdoms

Did I mention that everything East and North Of Lekki including Victoria Island belonged to the Ijebu who
had the honour of driving the Benin Army out of Lagos sparing only a remnant Of Refugees at Isale Eko for
kindred sake and as an act of Mercy so as not to drown them all in the Atlantic Ocean Completely since the Ijebu
had completely defeated and Conered them and they had nowhere to escape to except the bottom of the Atlantic

Lagos is not yoruba land, period! What does Lagos mean in Yoruba language?

christistruth01:


What does Delta State mean in the Local Language or Rivers and Plateau states

owobokiri:


You agbadorians have always said that The Ikwerress are not Igbos because the likes of Wike said so.. You even said that the great aniomas are not igbos even after the biggest traditional stool in the place, The Asagba of Asaba stated emphatically that he is...

Now that the likes of the Oba of Lagos have said the Aworis and Lagos are not Yoruba, you are going to force me into the university of Biafra for quoting him!? No be like that naaa
Haba Mallam!

This is your Oba of Lagos..

ganisucks:

Then they too are not wholly for the indigenes who reside there. Lagos is a British colonial creation. And now is the business capital of Nigeria. It belongs to the federal government.

Quintopia:


It Is childish to you, but 5 million Igbos are in Lagos for a reason.

Maybe if your people made their own cities look more like Lagos, you wouldn't need to move to Lagos.

Quintopia:
Soludo Must Arrange Some Skyscrapers For Onitsha

Even if it's just 2 or 3 to start with.

These days, in order to attract tourists and investors, as a state, you must show that your major city is on the upward trajectory, economically speaking, and nothing symbolizes that more than the presence of a nice, modern skyline, with a few skyscrapers placed strategically here and there.

SOLUDO, OVER TO YOU PLS. Lagos people no get 2 heads.

christistruth01:


Those are not Sky Scrapers

julaion:
and who told you Yoruba own Lagos,the Benin empire owns eko as it was formally called before the British came.....you see your illiteracy level won't allow you to research.........LAGOS DOES NOT BELONG TO THE YORUBA,IT BELONGS TO BENIN KINGDOM THROUGH CONQUEST

Quintopia:

tungamaje:
There would be lots of skyscrapers in Onitsha once it becomes the Nigerian federal capital as Lagos was for almost 80 years. Lagos was developed by the Federal govt presence until it was relocated to Abuja

BanyXchi:
only Lagos island was the capital and it stopped being the capital a long time ago. Onitsha was developed by colonizers.

tungamaje:


What I know is that it was in 1991 the capital was relocated to Abuja from Lagos. So all along Lagos benefitted immensely as the Nigerian capital due to the Federal presence. Apart from the island region, which part of Lagos is developed because Ikeja for example looks rough compared to other world cities?

BanyXchi:
Ikeja is rough because of the leeches trooping there everyday. Only some parts of Lagos island was capital and it stopped being capital decades ago. If only you know history to know how much the Brits invested in developing PH, Calabar, Onitsha.

Minjim:


You finally exposed your failure in History. At least, if you want to argue about something courtesy demand you have a sound knowledge.

Benin people are offspring's of Oduduwa

Oduduwa has only 1 child named Okanbi. Okanbi died before Oduduwa but had 7 children. Among them is Oranyan (The 1st Alaafin of Oyo). Oranyan later ruled Benin & gave birth to Eweka I. He left Benin to found Oyo.

If we look at the relationship of Benin and Oyo empires, throughout the histories they never had any conflicts despite their strength and proximity to themselves. Benin empire ruled regions to the east and the south while the oyo empire ruled operated on regions to the west and north of their internal borders.
Oyo empire controlled, even bullies territories under its borders except Ife, Benin does the same to its own and sends the Oba to be to Ife for confirmation (a practice stopped in the 19th, most probably due to the civil wars in Yorubaland), this shows that they both hold Ife in high regard.
They both left the areas around ekiti as Ondo uncontrolled to serve as buffer region between them.
These three points of relationship lasted for almost a thousand years between these two great empires. It shows they had an agreement that had been lost to ages, that Ife is their socio-political root.
Bini story claims that Oduduwa was a prince of Benin that sent his son oranmiyan to rule in his stead. Some Yoruba claim that Oranmiyan was invited by the binis to settle disputes and rule, while other Yoruba claim that the king of benin was the eldest son of okanbi while oranmiyan was the youngest.

The real story is hidden among these different sides.

tungamaje:


Those 'leeches' didn't just began to troop to Lagos in 1991. They have been trooping there since the period it was the Federal capital. Over those years, they also invested heavily to develop the capital. So it's not a recent phenomenon

Quintopia:


It Is childish to you, but 5 million Igbos are in Lagos for a reason.

BanyXchi:
the ethnic make up of Lagos till the early 1970s had over 90% Yoruba with the highest minority being Nupe, Hausa, Ghanaians, Togolese, And our Benin brothers. Most of the leeches in Lagos today came only after the late 1970s.

Meley:

Leeches that has been contributing to the GDP of Lagos? Go and get sense cos it's obvious you have an empty skull. I'm very sure your state of origin isn't even Lagos but one of the other slums you call SW state

BanyXchi:
the slum I come from is better and richer than your red mud erosion-ravaged potor shithole region. What do you contribute to Lagos? Why can't you contribute to your blighted yEast? Whether you like it or not Bola Ahmed Tinubu is your next president.
