Where was it said? Any link to prove it?

https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/142678-orji-kalu-claims-lagos-property-sealed-after-he-crticised-fashola.html?tztc=1

That incident happened in 2013....that's 10 years ago. It's hard to get such sources.

I think what actually happened was that OUK told Fashola that Lagos doesn't belong to him when he deported some Igbos to Onitsha.

However, Lagos State government twisted it and stated that OUK called Lagos State a no man's land. Fashola would later seal off his house because of the statement.

This is just propaganda you guys are pushing ...yet nor video or record of both men saying it ?

There may not be videos....that was 1947.
You may not know or pretending but the animosity among igbos and yorubas started that way back.
Apart from Jaja nwachukwu, in the build up to independence people like Geoffrey onyemas father reechoed the Lagos as no mans Land sentiments justifying it with the fact that Lagos albeit Lagos island was FCT but Awo countered them and vehemently opposed the idea insisting Lagos is Yorubaland and should remain yorubaland and part of western region even offering to help build a new FCT but Zik and other igbo leaders opposed him.
That wasnt enough Zik also sought to be western region premier after installing an igboman as eastern region premier....so its beeen Long that igbos have sought to control politial power in yorubaland for whatever reason.....i guess they feel yorubas are docile and since fulanis were able to slice ilorin they could as we slice off some part of yorubaland

I said Lagos belongs to all Nigerians equally because 100% of Nigerian resources developed Lagos and if you dont know that this is fact, means you're not truthful to yourself

See how foolish they all look. No one can substantiate that igbos as a group ever declared Lagos a no man's land. These tribalistic APC goons created this propaganda for their selfish goals out of fear after they lost the presidential election in Lagos.
My worry is that majority of educated Yorubas bought into this primitive propaganda. Nigeria is doomed. The future looks bleak

Lagos State has federal government investments for almost a century, ofcourse those investments were made in Lagos much more than other states so expectedly Lagos should contribute more from the investments

Jaja Wachukwu said Lagos is no man's land in what context? APC Yoruba bigots who most of them weren't born in 1947 carry the matter for head and twisted the narrative to push for propaganda against Igbos. Lol

Lateef Jakande, the best Lagos State governor so far said the same thing, Lagos is no man's land. Lol

Now you understand what have been saying. When you celebrate most investments coming to Lagos and celebrate Lagos increasing cosmopolitan development, what do you think happens to the traditional preservation of Lagos?
