Whats my business with lagos. Lagos is a state in Nigeria and i live and do business here. I have every right to be in lagos and do anything i want to do in lagos. I have properties in lagos and pay tax in lagos.

Whats your business in lagos?

Since you dislike and hate the indigenes in Lagos why are you living, working and paying tax to people you hate very much

You don't have a right to be in Lagos you have a right to be anywhere in the world, nobody is forcing you to be in Lagos but you want to die in Lagos. you have mental issues..

I am Yoruba.. so everywhere in the SW is my business.

In essence, Ogun State is what we should be talking about. If you were birthed in Ogun State, then you must know that not every Ogun State indigene speaks Yoruba. We have different tribes there, by virtue of Birth, several Ogun State indigenes speak, Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba and other Languages.

Yoruba is a minority tribe in Lagos State. Lagos State is built with common wealth of Nigeria coming from my soil in Niger Delta, so you have nothing to brag about. You are surviving because of my benevolence.

I will like to interact with a Lagosian, not to an Ogunanian or whatever they call Ogun pipo grin grin grin

you just confirmed you are the same as lexy nl user..

Those extraction have no explanation to make and they don't owe you or your ilks an explanation.....
Yorubas would continue to own Lagos whether you like it or not be it Ondo Osun Ekiti Ogun even Kwara and Kogi theyve never been Issues with them and the Aworis or Eguns but strangers would just cook up Things to incite division amongst them....
If you're not ok with that you can Visit the Lagos state Government Alausa or any Obas Palace for an explanation maybe you might understand better

I try to be civil, but you are forming king kong. Let us Begin!

You are ignorant of what is really happening. There is nothing left in Lagos State to be sold. Igbos have bought everywhere and pushed the Yorubas out and fenced those Estates. Epe axis and Elekan axis was what was left but it is gone now, except the place Tinubu fenced for his family by the Refinery.

I own properties at Lekki and I tell you that nothing is left. Even the Aworis that were living at Folu community along the Eleko side, they sold their fathers' grave and moved back to the boundary with Ondo.

You can not even enter my estate if you are not invited, cos you need a code to unlock your Access. So you can claim ownership from Benin people as you want, but deep inside you, you know you are defeated and have nothing left to right.

You are expecting a war so you can recover? You have no idea that Igbos have taken over your Elite bloodlines, most of the Yoruba billionaires are married to Igbo women and the Igbo women are in control of their homes unlike Yoruba women.

So the war will be in your homes and the properties will go to Igbos in the bloodlines. This next war, no one will run, we will kill you all, cos its about guns, we all can afford guns and we all have the might to fight.

Shall we begin?

Trying to be silly, it's not the Ona's opinion.
Name 3 of his predecessors if you know them and why would you say any traditional ruler should not make a speech you don't like?

How is it silly to point out the obvious?

How many of his predecessors ever claimed that the Bini kingdom are the founders Lagos? Leave that question about 3 predecessors of the current Oba of Benin for the school or academic activities - google can tell you all of them, plus the ones you don't know about your history.

A traditional ruler needs to be careful and mindful of his utterances especially when it concerns people that are not his subjects. Respect is earned and reciprocal indeed. You don't go visiting people and despise or disrespect them. That is quite low.

Anyways, Instead of laying claim to Eko founded by Olofin Ogunfunminire of the Awori, Bini should rather ask about the meaning of Bini and the meaning of the "Oba" title.

you are arguing on land ownership with indigenes that's hatred and envy against the Yorubas.

I did not force you to be in Lagos, so I am not forcing anyone out of Lagos.. the tax you're paying is good for the GDP and standard of living of the indigenes so continue paying tax.. your children and grand children and great-grand children will also pay to Lagos and boost the indigenes welfare. Thank you for serving the Yorubas and Yoruba nation.

I am not Nigerian.. I only concern myself with the SW... I do not covet what is outside the SW.

Moreover you're notorious for this right from the First Military Coup till the Pogrom in the North to minority Portharcourt People kalabari, Ikwerre laying claims to your house at Diobu, Mile 4 and the rest .....Just to borrow a leaf from History...We know how to deal with you people it's not new ....
Ask Azikiwe, Ojukwu, Even Current Obi needs a Yoruba Son to reinforce his Political relevance in the Person of Obasanjo....
We all know all your plans of marriage to Elites Yoruba Sons ...Time will tell and you would witness it .. keep buying Lands keep building in Lagos don't worry no one would advise your people they would use their brains do the right thing without any uproar.....
The hand writing are written all over the wall in Lagos that it's not going to be business as usual a version of Yorubas you've never seen is coming soon yet you are yet saying you would buy land...

its not about guns.. its about population.. igbos do not have the population to fight the Yorubas in Yorubaland and the civil war also proves Igbos don't also have the numbers to fight against the Yorubas even in Igboland which is their own land..

a fight against Yorubas is a fight against the SW Nigeria, Benin republic, Togo, parts of Ghana, Sierra Leone, Brazil, Cuba e.t.c.

Yorubas have never lost any war...

the first war your forefathers fought they lost it and also lost thousands of igbo civilians to their senseless war.

don't fight or wage war against people who have a higher population than you and are descendants of warriors who fought wars for over 50 years.

once the Yorubas got involved in the civil war, it took less than 1 month to end the war..

lol. Igbos own Lagos. Oba Eri of Umu-Eri founded Lagos and handed it to his younger brother, Oba of Benin. Oba of Benin then handed over the place to Olofin Ogumfunminire, the father of his girlfriend who then handed it over to Ologun kutere, the product of infidelity between Oba of Benin and Olofin Ogunfunminire's daughter who then handed it over to Ojukwu's father who then handed it over to Peter Obi and his noisy obidient developers before Tinubu hijacked it from him and kept it to himself since then.

Omo Ibo, hope you enjoyed the history? grin grin grin

Is it not a thing of Fame to Peter Obi and a thing of disgrace and emptiness that Peter Obi came to Lagos State and defeated the alleged founder of Lagos State??

Nobody is arguing that Lagos don't belong to southwest, it is in southwest and aboriginal southwestern people are it's indegenous people, especially Aworis, Epe people etc...but Benin empire created Marina and island areas of Lagos, providing security and enabling people to trade and flourish in Marina and island areas of Lagos... before the coming of Benin people it was bush and swamp in Marina and Lagos island...

But you made sense when you said it was less than two months for the war to end before Yorubas joined the war.....just one month and you are bragging you fought war??.

Biafra faced Nigerian army, Britain support, Russian support even US support for NIGERIA as against small Biafra yet the war took 3 years to end...

The death of many Civilians in the Biafrain side was as a result of malnutrition , hunger , and that's because Britain and Nigeria made sure that no relief materials entered the land of Biafra....

Lagos has been a no man's land from the time it was financed with oil and gas money from my Niger Delta. When it comes to ownership of Lagos, I own some portions of Lekki. And I do not have to be in that chaotic prison anymore for now until you little minions are chased out of that place.

In the coming war, which will be fought over Lagos, we will burn it down and rebuild it because we will never leave Lagos. Our home states will be safe cos no one is fighting here.
