If you can't control yourself, you don't need to post anything. Some Ijaws originate from Ondo state. Would you call them Yorubas? Have you heard Aworis and Eguns speak their own languages?
What is the language of Aworis?

Lol grin

Do you know what is called Edekiri? A dialect of Yoruba mostly spoken in Ede Osun state of Davido.

That is the language of Aworis, you people think every Yorubas speak the Oyo/Yoruba version of Yoruba language?

Egun are not Yorubas but are less than 12% of the indigenous people of Lagos.

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.
It is clearly stated, Lagos and not Lagos island.

To set the record straight, I did the design, as a Law student and an History enthusiast, I found it interesting to share how and why Nigeria started celebrating Independence Day and that can't be said without talking about colonization. In whatever context Oseni decided to use the image, I bear no hand in it.

I don't agree with him bcus I also believe there are indigenous people of Lagos before the British came there but stop trying to paint another picture or narrative.

Yeah but people existed in different places in Nija even before 1914.
My late grandma was 4 years older than Nigeria,She was born in Owerri in 1910 and she told me of some of her stories while trading textiles materials from Owerri to Asaba to Bini, present day Ore, then to Oyo and also to some places in Idoma borders.
My take is that anyone who is not an original inhabitant of Lagos should stop with this madness of asking people to leave Lagos.
You can't come from Ibadan and say People should leave Lagos when the true owners of the Land have not spoken.

You are mentioning cities or town that have existed since 1800s

So who told you Epe, Ikorodu, Isolo, Isheri, ibeju etc didn't exist as towns just like Ibadan and Owerri before the idea of Lagos State was forced on them by the military government.

Who are this original inhabitants? cheesy

So you don't know Oyo and Ogun state of today were part of Lagos colony/ Protectorate?

And Ibadan, Ijebu areas were simply referred of as interland to Lagos?

Where is Governor Otedola from?

Let me even ask you something. Are you Yoruba? If not, then you're only fooling gullible Nigerians.

The issue between Yoruba Lagosians and Yoruba Ara Oke has been there from time immemorial. So, you're wrong to say something is brewing. In fact, the issue has died down in recent years, unlike how it used to be in the First Republic.

Look, many of these Yoruba Lagosians migrated to Lagos from other Yoruba towns. The fact is that you cannot separate one Yoruba town from the other. Nobody is more Lagosian than Sapara Williams, the first qualified lawyer in Nigeria. For your information, Sapara Williams' lineage is Ijesa. Moreover, you cannot be more Lagosian than the Ijebus of Epe and the Aworis who are bonafide Yoruba sub-groups.

Most of these Yoruba Lagosians who amplify issues between them and other Yoruba sub-groups are the resettled slaves from Brazil and Sierra Leone like Bode George and Rhodes-Vivour who don't even have ancestral lands in Lagos.

100% Apt.... You made me proud! At least Gainsayers and Naysayers will allow us rest on this topic. Know this and no peace lolz! "Lagos is no man's land"agitators make una rest ABEG!
To be honest with ourselves, we all know the race that geographically and ancestrally Lagos belongs to "Amo rawa taba ri arawa"

It is IMPOSSIBLE to get to Lagos from ANYWHERE in Nigeria without going through at least 2 other Yoruba states. So, if the Edos (together with their okoro enablers) want to come and collect Lagos, they have to cross Ondo first and then Ogun state before they get to the border of Lagos.

Lagos is bordered COMPLETELY by Ogun state and the Atlantic Ocean. That means only two groups can be indigenous to Lagos: Yorubas and fishes (from the ocean). If you're not a Yoruba or an Atlantic fish, you're not indigenous to Lagos. Know this and know peace. This message is especially for the foolish bini people and their Ibo enablers. Because if you're not Yoruba and you're claiming Lagos, then you must be a fish and we will either send you back to the Atlantic OR prepare roasted fish with boli.

Much Respect bro ... See Finishing... setting the record straight for them lolz!... Make them rest on this topic ABEG!

Guy you get time.
Rufai wey dey craze, the British fought a war with king Kosoko before they could colonize Lagos.
Kosoko was deported to Epe and Dosumu a stooge was installed as the king of Lagos.
Even if Lagos was leased for a 100 years,
the rent expired since, and the land reverted back to the rightful owners, just like Hong Kong now belongs to China.
How I wish I could take that numbskull
Rufai on.
Let Rufai go to LASU and show them the British lease agreement paper, instead of ancestry documents " AGANRANDI ", and see whether him or anything related to him, will be considered a Lagos indigene.
Ode oshi.

Ile Ife owned Benin

Do you know that Benin was founded by the Ancient Pre Oduduwa Ado Ekiti People and the first Ogiso was from Ile Ife ?

The first Igodomigodo which Oranmiyan later named Ile Ibinu was in the Ado Ekiti area it was the 3rd Ogiso who moved the location to Edo State because of War
That is why Yorubas still call Benin People the Ados till today

That was also why when Benin needed a new dynasty king they returned to Ile Ife to fetch Oranmiyan


You're drunk

The story of oduduwa who was intital a woman when it was first written by a yoruba frictional writer Samuel Johnson, later became a man by subsequent yoruba historians who came after sj


The history of oduduwa is false. oduduwa never existed it was formed by Samuel Johnson an oyo frictional writer in a bid to unite yorubas as one group of people before the advent of colonization which Samuel knew was coming, in Samuel Johnson original writeup oduduwa was a sexy bitch but subsequent yoruba writers changed is sex to a man to perpetuate their own false claim


Oduduwa is a frictional work by Samuel Johnson
