No one argues the worst of herdsmen is more intelligent than sophisticated elites of Yoruba .

If Asgard is illiterate cos of a faceless likes .. than I wonder the sophistication Of a Yoruba man.

Lagos has never been for sale. The assets of these families, these highly prosperous, educated and wealthy Lagos families are still standing till today

Here's a very educative read of the Lagos most of you don't know.

TKE Phillips is the first Pharmacist in Nigeria while Dr JC Vaughan alongside his colleagues formed the Lagos Youth Movement(NYM) which later became Nigeria Youth Movement here in Lagos that fought with other groups for Nigeria's independence. From Darocha to Bank-Anthony , Shitta-Bey , Randle, Vaughan etc, Lagos is never and has never been for sale. Proudly one of the descendants of these illustrious families. We are grateful to God for our forebears sacrifices and the virtues of patriotism they handed down to us.
Shout out to these families;

This Asagard guy and illiteracy.

What is the meaning of inferiority complex in this context? Do you even know the meaning of the words you bandy around?

You have only mentioned the Saros and the Agudas.

@FreeStuffsNG, I had read it in the early hours of this morning before bumping on it now.

Although, the rider is about the extravagance of party-going Lagosians of the 1920s, which is still very pervasive till today. I work part time at events every weekend. It's the same extravagance. Only time and space, and of course, a century separate Lagos of the 1920s and Lagos of the 2020s.

However, it's nostalgic that you reeled out those notable names of indigenous Lagos families.

I represent Savage. My mum's paternal side. Her maternal side is Abina, which you didn't mention. He contributed so much to the socio- economic and political development of Lagos.

Lagos is an enigma. It holds you in a kind of awe you can't explain. It's only those that have been 'lost' in its soul that can really relate.

Eriokanmi:
Has anyone here read of the Adebisi Idikan and family in Ibadan? Has anyone read of the historic wedding of one of his daughters which shook the entire Yorubaland at that time and atrended by Britons? Had anyone learnt of this man, who once paid the taxes of the entire men in the ibadan city for years to the colonialists in that era? His house was the best and most expensive in ibadan during his day's.

His friend happened to be the father of the first lawyer and first medical doctor in the old oyo empire, including ibadan.

While lagos has always been known for feferities and societal events, cheered by the big and mighty, we can't conclude that more of such great events weren't taking place in towns and cities outside Lagos in that era. During this time, only Lagos Island, Ebute Metta, Yaba and some adjoining places in Apapa formed Lagos while other places were full of water and tick forest. Most of the areas which now form part of lagos used to be part of the Ogun state land. Agege, the entire alimosho, Berger, Ojodu, olowoora, etc, used to be Ogun state even Ketu down to Ikorodu used to be Ogun territories. While some other parts were inhabited by the binis. Some of these areas are the Igas on the island, Oshodin( now known as oshodi). Oshodin is actually an edo word. It doesn't have any meaning in our tribe and language. Some people in order to gain relevance in Lagos gave themselves that name oshodi. Same as Docemo( a white name) now called Dosunmu. Iga Iduganran are bini words. Madam Tinubu was originally from egba. She never had a child to herself. People came.and adopted that name as their surname, just to gain relevance. It's a woman's name. As powerful as she was, one of her husbands (the borno man who was one of her workers) had to bear her name as his last name

Meanwhile, Ibadan, the so called brown roofed city was the most civilised of all cities in west Africa as of then. Those brown roofs were owned by the rich ones who came from far and near to settle in Ibadan the way they do in Lagos today. If your father had an iron sheet on his roof in those days, then he must be rich because during that era when Iron sheets were trending, only about 25% of all the buildings in Nigeria had iron sheets coverings on their roofs. They were mainly covered with bamboos. You hardly see the brown-roofed buildings in several of the present day towns and cities, except in some villages where those who built in the cities during the era also built houses the way many also do today.

While Lagos could be termed a place for societal events, Ibadan had witnessed several of such historical events too, similar to what the OP put up. Back then, Lagos used to be 2nd home of the egbas. Those mentioned in that lagos wedding were originally from egba in what is now called Ogun state. They came and settled here and became part of us. My maternal side ( the Jakandes) came from Kwara, the igbomina area of kwara.

Those praising lagos should remember that a tree doesn't form a forest. Other tribes too contributed immensely towards the development of our great state. I wonder why people hardly talk of the likes of ojukwus and other families. The man who once owned the largest transport company in Africa. The man who once owned limousine and other exotic cars, yet unlettered. God bless Lagos. God bless Nigeria and Nigerians.

From Darocha to Bank-Anthony , Shitta-Bey , Randle, Vaughan , Macaulay , Oluwa, Kosoko, Dosunmu , Abina, Alakija, Ashogbon, Ojora, Tinubu etc, Lagos is never and has never been for sale. Proudly one of the descendants of these illustrious families. We are grateful to God for our forebears sacrifices and the virtues of patriotism they handed down to us.
