Lagos was bombarded by the British in 1851, annexed on 6 August 1861 and declared a colony on 5 March 1862. By 1872 Lagos was a cosmopolitan trading center with a population over 60,000.

All of the development in LAGOS were started by the British

They are fighting against neglect while murdering innocent villagers of equally neglected people.

They should go and fight the state machinery not innocent people's.

This man is justifying murder

This man is an accomplice of murder.

There's no group that is not neglected in Nigeria.

These Fulani who are foreign to Nigerian soil have enjoyed the best of Nigeria and paid back with murder and destruction.

They are simply grossly evil beings

Sonyboom765:
Imagine this Igbo clown wasting away his wretched life hating on the superior Yoruba instead of looking for a meaningful way to earn income. Soon in the glory of his foolishness he will start lamenting fuel is so so price.

Am not a clown,neither am I Igbo,am not Igbo,again am not igbo

If it was insignificant, why will the British protect it...?

Oba akitoye surrendered Lagos to the British to retain his throne from kosoko, there was nothing to loose for the British

What is the link of ibilo to lampese and imoga

The wrong narrative that the British chose LAGOS as capital because it was a successful city created by Yorubas is a very big falsehood.

If there's any city that was thriving because of the indigenes in Nigeria prior to British claim it's definitely not LAGOS.

They use a flawed narrative that the British abandoned Calabar for LAGOS because " Yorubas" created a successful city in LAGOS.

They forget that Lagos was the first city in Nigeria to be claimed by the British since 1856 when the rulers of Lagos through oba akitoye surrendered the city for protection to the British to retain his throne and prevent oba kosokos return and claim to the throne.

It was a family kingship feud that led LAGOS to surrender itself to the British.

Britain had owned LAGOS since that time(1856),whatever development came thereafter was done by the British not the indigenes or Yoruba settlers .

Prior to this time,Lagos was a very insignificant city not comparable to BENIN city,Calabar, even brass and bonny.

The British kick-started development in LAGOS before the FG took over till 1991.

The Yorubas seem to have a lot of false narratives of history passed down to them.

They need to start interrogating their historical narratives.

True,but he should come back stronger,not weak like he previously was bowing to the north,He should then handover to a liberal northerner as flag bearer

IBB007:
Let me educate you….Fulani came in drove from the futa jalon area of Guinea in the 1700s in search of vegetation for their livestock…that was the first mass movement of Fulani people to the area now considered as northern Nigeria
They were able to assimilate easily because of the similar religion with the people in northern Nigeria and they heard many Islamic scholars among them….especially among the town Fulani…they’re two groups of Fulani…the town Fulani and the ones that are mostly in the bush die to the nature of their work…which is mostly cattle herding

The mumu Hausa accommodated u Fulani's,brought them into their royal houses and the Fulani usurped their thrones.Hausa Na didirin

It can never happened and those guys have taken substantial land from the indigenous people of plateau, Benue, Niger, kogi, zamfara, taraba and Nasarawa etc. It's only prayer that can help us. The FG has failed woefully to protect us.

Which land did Fulani take in kogi?

There's no land the Fulani took from kogi oo

lawani:
Taxation is the cost of civilization. All nations and empires were built like that. It is not the taxation that was the problem but the idea of having to report to Ibadan. Yorubas are not a stranger to taxation.

The ekitiparapo revolt was due to the heavy hand of the ajeles on the ekiti and ijesha,they were fed up with the oppression,the ajeles were raping their wives,imposing heavy taxes,taking goods forcefully in markets etc,the Eastern Yoruba could not bare it anymore they had to revolt

lawani:
An attempt to unify a family is not enslavement. Yoruba are a family. I however agree with you that the rest of non Oyo Yoruba saw it as enslavement.

Unify? when the Ibadan imposed heavy burden of taxes on other Yorubas

Atiku or the north simply can't win and no northerner should contest

This is simply a satanic evil regime

hmohammed:
Never, GEJ is gone forever and Obi can never be preseident

Your biz

Ibadan enslaved the Yoruba

If good luck contests now against the Yoruba god he'll win massively.
