On a trip back to Lebanon, he landed in Marseille, France where he encountered a Lebanese couple. According to Sari, a Lebanese couple instructed Mohammed, “You must go to Nigeria (Lagos), you will find gold on the sides of the streets.”

In 1926, he landed in Lagos.

The older Faysal continued the story. Like many newcomers at the time in Nigeria, Mohammed began in trading, buying bales of textiles and selling them in Lagos. Success in those days meant expanding into Balogun Street or Martin Street, and Mohammed was determined to get there.

Very inspiring 👏 🙌

As far back as over a century ago, Lagos has been prosperous and there has been prosperity in Lagos of global reckoning that the prosperity of our city was on the lips of international audience.

This was a time that some parts of Nigeria were yet to be exposed and still covering their private parts with leaves.

To the glory of God and with tremendous gratitude to our forebears, I am happy to state that, till date and forever more, our city remains prosperous and peaceful.

We are LAGOS. We are the global centre of Excellence!

Please bring your legitimate and lawful investments to Lagos. Invest in Lagos for the best returns on investment.

God bless Lagos State and Nigeria forever more!


Documentations compiled by archivist Pa Oloko Alli-Balogun, an octogenarian from Lagos.

The population of Lagos Colony was analysed into 'Yoruba' and 'Non-Yoruba' tribes:

1. Eko tribe had fallen from 57% in 1872 to 23.6% 20 years later.
2. Popo or Egun tribe was 15.85%,

3. Other Yoruba groups
Oyo - 11.6%
Ijebu - 11.01%
Awori - 9.26%
Egba - 6.05%
Ijesha - 4.32%
Egbado - 3.63%
Ekiti/Efon people - 1.76%

4. Non-Yoruba groups
Nupe/Tapa - 1.86%
Hausa - 1.86%
The Kru - 1.37%.


The strength of the Eko tribe was concentrated in Wards A, B, C and D of Lagos Town and Harbour, and the Central District of Ebute Metta/Yaba.

The Aworis were concentrated in the Central District and the Popo's or Egun in the Western District.

As igbo person I like the way igbo peoples lives are more valuable than that of agbadorians and boko haram supporters ,if cultists kill each others in the south east you will hear agbadorians with boko supporters shouting south east is finished,if bandits kill 300 people in kastina zamfara or Kwara you hear them shouting is a family affair,they care about igbo people but they don't care about their people grin

ajalawole:
wrong. Bukola saraki is a Yoruba name. Abdulfatie Ahmad is not a Yoruba, his wife is Yoruba. Late Muhammad lawel and Abdulfatie Ahmad share same lineage. The preseind governor is a Yoruba man. Rasaq is a Yoruba name.. Those Yoruba in Kwara won't vote for Fulani man apart from senetor saliu mustapa. Mustapa is really doing well, am sure he will contest for governorship election reason he is having issue with the governor.
I said only olushola saraki added his Yoruba name I know all of them are Yorubas but they don't like to add their Yoruba name

While I comment Wikes effort in terms of performance, his personal political style is totally different
A leader is to serve his people and lead with exemplary character.
His outburst at every given opportunity is somehow alien to modern day politics.
Let him deal naturedly with his political enemies and opponents.
In terms of which performance?

It's just like saying in Benin, the position of President is alien to you....

Now, I dont hold briefs for Iyaloja but saying something is alien to your culture is not an excuse for its acceptance.or denial.
the way you guys can twist things needs to be introduced in every Nigerian universities,iyaloja is alien to the benin culture and traditions just like eze di igbo is alien to Yoruba culture,is the president position a Yoruba culture ? A benin person can become the president on Nigeria tomorrow can a benin woman become iyaloja of Lagos or Ibadan?

Lifestone:
Was Oseni not rude with his arrogant posturing? Being an online personality and asking hard questions does not say Rufai should not to be polite to his guests. Seun Osinbaloye's questions are probably tougher.
Umahi was already a successful Engineer before Rufai finish secondary school, he was a former Governor and much Older than him. You can ask your questions without arrogance and rudeness.
I watch that program and was really piss off at Oseni, I completely agree with how Umahi handled him. Next time, Umahi should send his SA on media to answer Oseni questions.
Being an anchor person does not put the two of them at the same level
Nigeria type of engineers that rely on china or Germany to build culvert for them grin grin

if we talk d Ibo mods will ban us.

Isn't it funny that the whole south east have been under siege for over 4 years, as in all the regions have been experiencing insecurity n forceful sit at home for good 4 years but u people don't care so far u have other people's region to run to but just one local government in Kwara is having issues but u all are more concerned


This again justify what d northerners told Azikiwe in d 1960's

An Ibo man's house will b burning but he doesn't care, he's more concerned about killing rat in another man's house.
There are more than 10.000 transport buses going to igbo states every single day from all over Nigeria but every Yoruba claimed Lagos is his village even abiola as rich as he is yet he don't build village house in his own state Ogun state,if your are living in Lagos state start from Maza Maza to alaba international and count transport companies going to east every morning after morning passengers night passengers travelling to east will start theirs,
