Munamoqel:See what hate and bigotry has caused you, what do you guys gain in stoking ethnic tensions? Igbo and people of other ethnic nationalities who live in Lagos have a right to decide who governs the state unlike me who don't live there and don't care who is in charge. Many Igbo in Lagos make more contribution to the growth of Lagos than you and so should have a say. |

christistruth01: Exactly, but someone is trying hard to change the narrative and make one believe Lagos was a wilderness developed by immigrants from neighbouring communities. Not true. 2 Likes |

forgiveness: Who do ipob think they are ? Lagos is Aworiland Lagos is 100% Yorubaland The Awori are 100% Yorubas and from Ife Originally On the day the British Colonial Government first landed in Lagos in 1851 Oyo controlled Badagry Area including Seme Which they had taken from the king of Dahomey along with Porto Novo (Ajase) in War . The Oyos had initially also taken Allada ,Ouidah and Cotonou at the time but the King of Dahomey had managed to take them back while the Oyo were very busy fighting the Power drunk Afonja and the Fulani at Ilorin The Oyos had fought Dahomey as Allies of the Eguns aare oona kakanfo oyabi had led the Oyo Army The Abeokuta Egba Army Controlled all of Lagos Mainland including Iddo Island and all the Territory from there to Abeokuta Which they had won in the Ota War of 1842 in Which the Oyos of Ibadan fought as Allies of Oba Kosoko and the Awori and received such a heavy defeat at the hands of the Egbas that the Ibadan Army had to be smuggled back home. The whole Episode almost led to the downfall of Basorun Oluyole back at Ibadan The Ijebu Army Controlled Everything East and North of Lekki including Victoria Island All Oba Kosoko Controlled was the Slave market and Port of Isale Eko on Lagos Island, Even Ikoyi belonged to the Onikoyi who was Awori Yoruba with Oyo roots Again if you hear that Yorubas spent 100 years fighting themselves till 1878, Just know that the Egba, Ijebu and Oyo Which included Ibadan were also fighting for Control of the Coast of Lagos Control of the Coast of Lagos meant Titanic Wealth. but unfortunately much of that was from the Slave trade The Lagos territory Controlled by the Egbas , Oyo and Oba Kosoko belonged to the Awori People who were the most Peaceful and accommodating of all Yoruba Clans Eko is Yoruba short for Ereko which means field and for Confirmation Ereko Market where the Egbas and Ijebu traded is still on Lagos Island today Also Eko Ende in Osun State was one of the Locations of the Jalumi War of 1878 The Awori have inhabited Lagos since the 13th Century when they migrated from Ile Ife led by Olofin Ogunfuminire who was a great grandson of Oduduwa and a nephew of Oranmiyan who headed to Benin around the same period The Land on Which Isale Eko of the Oba of Lagos is located belongs to the Awori Yoruba Aromire family till today Aromire was one of the Sons of Olofin Ogunfuminire The Otun Ekiti People migrated from Lagos in the 15 th Century and share the same ancestry with the Awori of Lagos It was the returnee Egba Slaves who had been Converted to Christianity at Sierra Leone Bishop Ajayi Crowther included that asked the British Queen Victoria to invade Oba Kosoko’s Lagos in order to finally end the Evil Slave trade Bishop Ajayi Crowther had met with Queen Victoria and Prince Albert her Husband at Windsor Castle over the Issue of how to finally end the Slave Trade in Lagos on 18th November 1851 and the Royal British Navy Bombarded Lagos one month Later on 26th of December 1851.

chivic: The Federal Territory was limited to VI, Ikoyi and up to parts of Yaba and Surulere. Anywhere from Fadeyi and Idi oro (Mushin) fell under the Western Region. All the industrial and residential estates in those areas were built by Awolowo with Cocoa funds. Ilupeju, Matori, Ikeja etc |

Munamoqel: Igbos have bought 70% land in Lagos, the remaining 30% will be bought within the next 10 years. When hunger reset Yoruba's brain, they will be running around looking for Igbos to buy the remaining lands in Lagos |

Munamoqel:Show me where any non Igbo is stopped from voting. Go to Lokpanta in Abia State for instance and ask the thousands of northerners there if they were stopped from voting. Do same for Ugwuoba and Orba in Enugu State. Go to the various Hausa quarters popularly called Ama Awusa and ask the northerners if anyone attacked them for exercising their rights. Don't be too myopic brother, our education should take us beyond that. |
