Majority of Lagos mainland, Ikorodu, Badagry and Epe that were never part of Lagos island or FCT intial plan by the colonial maters.

In 1923 in the Tijani Oluwa case the highest Court in the British Empire ruled that Lagos belonged to the indigenous people of Lagos

and aworis are igbo or togoleses abi ??

Iamgrey5:
This is Lagos island not Lagos State.

Just like Oyo state is different from Oyo town.

Enugu town is different from Enugu state

Lagos State is a Creation of the Nigerian military government.

By the way, there is nothing contentious in saying Lagos State is Yoruba land.

The whole of Nigeria once belonged to Royal Niger company as a private property. It doesn't mean there were no indigenous Hasuas in Kano or indigenous Igbos in Anambra at that time.

Very deep insight from oseni, a man I respect for his stands on issues.

Lagos is not a no man's land.
Lagos is not a yoruba land.
Lagos has its indigenous people who are the binis and aworis.

Every other person is either a lagosian by birth or a migrant.
Any other thing is bull shit.

The eguns deny they are Yorubas. Yoruba was a derogatory term coined by the invading Fulani jihadist to describe the people of Oyo. It means people that slippery that can't be trusted. Later the term caught on and all other tribes with language close to that of Oyo accepted the term except a few like the Eguns.

A simple Wikipedia article with relevant references would have saved rufai the embarrassment. Rufai is not a deep thinker. He thrives on picking crumbs of information and running with it. Just search for Lagos Colony and see the results

Lagos Colony was a British colonial possession centred on the port of Lagos in what is now southern Nigeria. Lagos was annexed on 6 August 1861 under the threat of force by Commander Beddingfield of HMS Prometheus who was accompanied by the Acting British Consul, William McCoskry. Oba Dosunmu of Lagos (spelled "Docemo" in British documents) resisted the cession for 11 days while facing the threat of violence on Lagos and its people, but capitulated and signed the Lagos Treaty of Cession.[1] Lagos was declared a colony on 5 March 1862.[2] By 1872, Lagos was a cosmopolitan trading center with a population over 60,000.[3] In the aftermath of prolonged wars between the mainland Yoruba states, the colony established a protectorate over most of Yorubaland between 1890 and 1897[b][/b].[4] The protectorate was incorporated into the new Southern Nigeria Protectorate in February 1906, and Lagos became the capital of the Protectorate of Nigeria in January 1914.[2] Since then, Lagos has grown to become the largest city in West Africa, with an estimated metropolitan population of over 9,000,000 as of 2011.[5]

This idiot is the most tribalistic, unprofessional, biased and the most disgraceful journalist in Africa. he has no sense of neutrality as normal journalists are..This man from day ! has been paid by the Obidients to slander and scandal tinubu from the very forst day he indicated interest in the presidency.

I am not a Tinubu supporter but I wont feel bad if over zealous loyalists to Asiwaju deal with this man and his tv station.

he is a disgrace to the scared institute of journalism.

The first colonial masters or owners were the Binis!

We are all emigrants because even those laying claims emigrated from somewhere.
