I somewhat agree with you, however, this isn’t the time to get emotional. All Yorubas have to defend Lagos and once that’s achieved - people can air out their grievances.

Also, I believe most Yoruba globally are in favour of a Yoruba country - although most are quiet about it because there isn’t a clear path on how to achieve it, for now. Once the path becomes clearer - you will see it. Yoruba unionists and liberals are loud/active but they’re in the minority.

Anyone who has a good understanding of how countries work won’t be against Yorubas moving on from Nigeria. Nigeria has the Igbo-problem: a problem similar to a toxic relationship whereby holding onto it, rather than breaking it up - will eventually lead to self-destruction. And that’s basically where it’s headed.

Let me ask you a question:

What makes GRV an aboriginal Yoruba person from Lagos?


His fathers were the first Yoruba settlers in Lagos before tinubu was born in iragbiji...

Hey!

I believe in one Nigeria and I am also a conservative. Both can go hand in hand. smiley

Nigeria is a country and not a nation.

Igbos must respect boundaries until they disappear naturally. We are not yet ripe for what you are asking for.

No, they’re not the first Yoruba settlers in Lagos. They’re Saros who were enslaved Yoruba people from the hinterland, in the new world and they returned to Nigeria in the 19th century.

In case you don’t know: there was a period around 1850 when they were expelled from Lagos but the Aworis allowed them to return and settle on Lagos Island.

So if I may ask: why would aboriginal Yorubas be expelled from their own land by other Yorubas?

Anyway, don’t fret, when the time comes, Yoruba nation would be achieved. But for now, Lagos has to be protected at all cost.

Yes they’re Yoruba people 100%. However, they’re not aboriginal since they were originally from the hinterland before they were enslaved and sold into slavery. The aborigines of the Lagos land mass are Aworis, Ijebus, Egbas and Oyo. The Egun for example are from Quidah but they were re-settled in Badagry by Oyo after they were expelled by Dahomey since Badagry was one of Oyo’s slave ports.

That said, Saros and Amaros are 100% Lagosians and they were very instrumental in the Yoruba renaissance in Lagos. So, I’m not disputing the fact that they’e Lagosians. But they’re not aboriginal Lagosians (Check the pic I attached to the message).

Anyway, keep fighting the good fight of a Yoruba nation and don’t be distracted by social media noise. Those supporting Yoruba nation are in the majority. Even a cursory look at how members of groups created by Yoruba nation campaigners outnumber those of Biafra groups x50, across all platforms is a pointer. Nigeria was created to fail and it’s on its last legs.

Also, like you, I’m not a fan of Tinubu. But I think when you look at Lagos relative to the rest of Nigeria - he’s not the worst out there and he’s above his peers. I had to learn to stop comparing him to Awolowo since he’s a capitalist while Awolowo was a socialist. And when you look aroud the world - capitalists are the same everywhere and nepotism/elitism is just part of the game. So, you just have to grade him in context of what’s attainable in context of Nigeria against his peers. Once you do that - you’d see that he’s not too bad tbh.

Lastly, Lagos is bigger than Tinubu. It’s about protecting our most important asset and heritage. Especially, now that a Yoruba man is the president of Nigeria. The state and the whole SW need continuity and more integration. And this isn’t the time to give it to the opposition - especially to a compromised Yoruba doofus who’s a plant by hateful Igbos. Put emotions aside and think logically.

I didnt think you will respond after my last question to you. I tested you with an information that is not available online. You cannot type in search engine and get an answer to it. This is how we filter out foreigners amongst us. We keep some root secrets hidden from you.


I am from Lagos Island, already told you. I am from Iga Eletu and our orisha is Ifa. We are Eletu afobaje. I cant tell you more because you will steal it, register a new name and return as Lagos origin and use my information to deceive and create new division.

Go and revive biafra. You will need it one day, after your cup is full on Yoruba soil.
My guy my dad comes from Ibadan while my mom is a cross Riverian from south south Nigeria,born and bred in cross River.I am not a Lagosian,I am a true Ibadan son, neither will I ever claim to be a Lagosian in my lifetime,but you see that GRV he isn't a true Yoruba,no true Yoruba will abuse his own tribe like he has done and been doing.My folks know me very well,some even call me a tribalist because I don't joke with my Nativity both from my father and mother side.GRV is a sellout Yoruba,if at all he is even Yoruba.You can't despise your own people and yet want to rule them.He should go to Igbo land and contest for governor, since he so much love them and they claim to so much love him.Thank you.

A Yoruba man can rotate south west, it's still in territory the same way ab Igbo man can rotate south east. It's still it's territory not a man from south east coming to South west to claim it. And tagged it a no mans land. You can't call abuja a no mans land it's north. It's an Hausa fulani speaking land. Don't claim what is not that is the whole issue. Nobody is telling the igbos not to do business. But know the truth that this is south west.. and be respectful. You can go to imo and start calling it a no mans land.

My fellow Yoruba brothers were mocking Sunday Igboho when DSS attacked his house in an attempt to assasinate him. They mocked Yoruba nation agitators just for fighting Yoruba course.

Herdsmen ransacked some part of Ibarapa local government in Ibadan, my fellow Yorubas started attacking Sunday Igboho for standing up to Killer Herdsmen. Yoruba interest was not paramount to them then.

When Osinbajo indicated interest to contest for Presidency, Yoruba interest Yoruba ronu was not paramount. It was even fellow Yorubas talking him down. Calling him all sort of names. He is Judas, he is Omo ale, he is this, he is that.

But when Kolu decided its his turn, they started saying Yoruba Agenda. Its time for Yoruba. So Obasanjo is not Yoruba. He did 8years. Osinbajo a Yoruba man also did 8years as VP. So what Yoruba turn are we talking about. Must it be Kolu? Must baba Kolu be president?

Now Lagos election is next week. They started calling some of us Omo ale for voting Labour Party. They are blaming us for selling lagos to Ibos.

My dear Yoruba brothers, you can not eat your cake and have it back. You are anti-Yoruba nation, you stood for One Nigeria. If you are standing for One Nigeria, then Lagos is One Nigeria. Lagos was the former FCT. So all tribes in Nigeria have stakes in it. Thats why we fought for Yoruba nation so that we can be in control of our lands and seas. But you said its one Nigeria you want. Lagos is One Nigeria, so any tribe should be able to govern it.

Then come Gbadebo Vivor. They are claiming he is Igbo. Gbadebo father is an Aboriginal Yoruba people of Lagos. Gbadebo father is more Lagosian than Tinubu who came from Osun state. Ekiti, Osun, Ibadan people be claiming Omo Onile in Lagos. The real Yoruba settlers in Lagos can as well tell you to go back to your states.

Thats how one owala from Iseyin with his Ilu oke ascent was asking me for omo onile money when i was decking my house. Y'all will be put in your places next saturday election.
