Prior to 1967 and the creation of the States,[b] Lagos comprised of just the island of Eko. The word Eko means ‘wartime camp' in the local language, Bini. [/b]Available evidence suggests that the earliest known settlers of the region were the Aworis, whose primary preoccupation consisted of hunting and fishing. These people appear to have landed on the shores at Ebute-Metta, migrating to Eko from Ile-Ife in batches over a protracted period of time. Other tribes began to arrive in the region, the first of them being a substantial number of Benin warriors. They were followed by members of the Yoruba tribes, who had initially settled on the mainland and later fled to the islands of Iddo and Eko, seeking protection from wandering marauders constantly attacking Yorubaland. Recent migrations to Lagos began in 1851 with the abolition of the inhuman practice of slave trade. Repatriates began arriving in large numbers. The first of them were members of the Saro tribe, who had been held captive in Yoruba itself. They were set free, along with their descendents, along the shores of Sierra Leone and were soon returning to their beloved homeland in successive batches. Most of these returnees had benefited from the influence of Christianity and western culture and, consequently, were able to utilize their skills and experience to educate their countrymen and modernize their country. Specific regions in the Olowogbowo and Breadfruit areas of the island were set aside for them to settle and develop. Lagos experienced another wave of migrants returning home in the middle of the 19 th century. These were the Aguda from Brazil and the majority were skilled craftsmen – builders, masons, carpenters, etc. – who brought with them the typical Brazilian flavor in architectural styles. They were resettled in the Bamgbose and Campos Square localities and the magnificent buildings in the area reflect the background of its inhabitants. There are two other major groups of people in the State of Lagos. The first is the Ogu, who are settled in the Badagry area and its surroundings. The second is the Ijebu, who are settled in Ikorodu and the Epe Local Government area. According to tradition, the Ogu are believed to have migrated here from the ancient land of the Ketu Kingdom – originally a part of the Oduduwa Kingdom. They migrated to Accra in Gold Coast from Ile-Ife during the middle of the 13 th century. They are closely related to the Ga/Ewe (Aja-Ogu) speaking people of modern Ghana. The traditional form of Monarchy (Wheno-Aholu) and governance in the locality of Badagry has an interesting history that goes back for centuries. The ancient town is divided into eight quarters namely: Jegba, Ahoriko Awhanjigoh, Boekoh, Wharakoh, Pesuka and Ganho and its adjoining villages on both the mainland and island. These areas have traditionally accepted the Kingship – Wheno Aholu Akran – of Badagry, right down to the present Akran, Menu Toyi I. He is the 17 th in succession and was crowned in 1977. Badagry was initially known as Gbagle, which is a shortened form of the word Ogbaglee that is translated in Ogu as “a farmland near the swamp”. The term ‘Ogu' is very often wrongly spelt and pronounced as ‘Egun'. The town of Badagry has the distinction of having the first multi-storied building in Nigeria. It was built in 1845 and still remains standing on its original site. The Ijebu population is settled in the Local Government area Epe and Ikorodu. Though their heritage is common to that of their blood relations in the modern state of Ogun, their commercial activities have brought them into close contact with the Nigerian riverine communities that are scattered all along the creeks and lagoons that finally lead to the Atlantic Ocean. This interaction has had a strong influence on the social and cultural fabric of the people. The cunning manipulation of the British resulted in the annexation of all the principal towns and other urban settlements of the two areas into the “colony” by the turn of the last century. With the amalgamation of 1914, the British succeeded in merging Ikorodu with the protectorate. http://www.lagoscity.net/php/laghistory.php?name=Lagos+History |

[size=18pt] Cabal, godfathers in PDP to go next month –Nwodo[/size] By CHIDI OBINECHE Tuesday, August 3, 2010 National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP), Dr. Okwesilieze Nwodo, took his message of change in the party several octaves high on Sunday night when he threatened to disgrace those who still bring “Ghana-must-go bags” to him. He also warned PDP governors and other aspirants for political offices to stop visiting him in his house. He spoke to an elite gathering of party chieftains and editors in Lagos on his 40th day anniversary in office. Nwodo, who was agitated, spoke with revolutionary fervour. He said: “In spite of my directives on my inaugural day that people should not bring “Ghana-must-go” bags to our office, they are still doing that. Anyone, who tries it again, I’ll disgrace him publicly. “I have told our governors not to come to my house. If they want to see me, let them come to the office. Aspirants should not come again to the secretariat. Let them go and campaign, win the people’s hearts. Our primary elections’ll be transparent. You don’t need to see anybody, and nobody will change your result,” he said. Unveiling his new agenda for change, Nwodo, who was National Secretary of the party for three years, said a mini-convention is being planned for next month to give bite to the new vision and “remove the last vestiges of the cabal” that has made it impossible for the best materials to fly the banner of the party. He regretted that a few people have held the party and country to ransom over the years, despite the lofty dreams of the founding fathers. Affirming his burning desire to get the party back on track in the best traditions of democracy, he spoke of far-reaching plans to halt the image of a “winning machine” which it has earned for itself, saying: “We won elections, but not the hearts of the people. “We now want to win their hearts – no more a winning machine, and running civilian dictatorship.” He said the envisaged reforms would be all-encompassing, beginning from the national secretariat with the soul aim of re-inventing the PDP. “We want people to know the meaning of the colours of the party, its manifestos, and the umbrella symbol. “We chose the colour white because this country has seen blood through colonialism and civil war. We want peace. We chose red because of the sacrifice of our leaders past, who fought and died for its unity.” He warned that those basking in the magic of godfatherism, or use of national might to write results for them have missed it; advising all political office aspirants to work hard, campaign and win. He lamented that the dream of making Nigeria a referral centre on health matters conceived in 1998 was aborted. On the primacy of the party manifestos in the new scheme of things, Nwodo warned that nobody will fly the party’s banner again without reading and comprehending its manifestos. “This is the covenant we have with the people. Time has gone when all those things happened. All they had was a mandate to line their pockets, to remain in office at whatever cost, and to settle their godfathers. “We are working with experts to reform and update our manifestos, to make it workable. We have to make a change. There’s nothing absolutely impossible to do in this country. PDP has resolved to call upon courageous men and women, who can do it.” Nwodo said plans were under way to embark on aggressive membership drive and on-line registration of faithful to advance the goals of inclusiveness and independence. He said, “because elections were no longer competitive, attention was focused on how to get into the cabal and share the resources of our nation. “No one can run this party anymore as a personal property, choosing, who to belong to the party and who will not.” He said the membership registration fee of N1,200 and 5 per cent of the salaries of office holders were now compulsory to accelerate its financial leverage. “Financial independence of the party will make it impossible for some people to control it. He who pays the piper dictates the tune. We will finance our candidates to a reasonable extent. We don’t want interferences by governments and moneybags.” Nwodo noted that the proposed constitution amendment next month will outlaw thuggery with a penalty of instant disqualification for aspirants found culpable. He said that since President Goodluck Jonathan has vowed to deliver credible, free and fair elections next year, no stone would be left unturned in achieving it. “The culture of indignity must go. If people do it elsewhere, why can’t we do it? The slogan “power” had been cornered by godfathers and godmothers.” He appealed to the media to assist in the new drive for a decent democratic culture, vowing to be willing to pay the supreme sacrifice in its pursuit. “I took an oath in my church in Enugu before the blessed sacrament that a mustard seed must die for a new tree to grow. I offer my life, so that we can have great men to lead this country.” http://www.sunnewsonline.com/webpages/news/national/2010/aug/03/national-03-08-2010-001.htm |

[size=18pt] ‘New state may emerge October’ [/size] Written by Kunle Oderemi, Lagos Monday, 02 August 2010 BARRING any last minute change by the authorities, new states may be announced on October 1, to coincide with the 50th independence anniversary of the country. A source told the Nigerian Tribune in Lagos, at the weekend, that the thinking in official quarters was to make it a special gift for the agitators for new states on the historic date. The source hinted that the plan was for President Goodluck Jonathan to announce the new states in his national broadcast to mark the independence anniversary. But the source was silent on the level of collaboration of the presidency with the National Assembly, which had received hordes of memoranda for new states. There was also no clue on the number of states that might be created, though the authorities had said the whole exercise would be based on merit. About 25 requests for new states had been tabled before the National Assembly by various groups to replace the existing 36 state structure. Some of the proposed states include Lagoon state from Lagos; Oke-Ogun from Oyo; Oduduwa from Osun and Savannah from Borno. It will be recalled that the Senate President, David Mark, recently promised the creation of new states in line with the yearnings of the people. http://www.tribune.com.ng/index.php/news/9071-new-state-may-emerge-october |
sjeezy8:Point blank. Igbos dont care about the yorubas. Whatever yall want to do with ur people do it, thats your business( with an Igbo accent) . |
philip0906:Gbam! exactly ![]() |
sjeezy8:Igbos dont care about yorubas.lol. Nobody is concerned about yall. Its not beef about yorubas its the igbos wanting their own country so what r u talking about? lol |
Ileke-IdI:Every Nigerian is. ![]() |
@ 9jaganja Because together we are economically powerful. We can be a nation of nations like someone said. If Igbos want to leave or any other tribe, they should be able to but not with the animosity some secessionists are showing here. It will be brutal. If we unite then peacefully divide, it's better than the way the separatists want it.Individually you ar powerfully as well economically too and there is peace amongst african brothers by the use of respect and trade. You cant tell me that this wouldnt work better. No more tug of war between who owns what and this tribe is steeling out resources. and y should the separation be brutal? also the ideology of bring unity has been tried for along time and still hasnt been reach. the tribes just dont get along and trust each other and on top of that the country is corrupt and too big. So again, what is wrong with each region going its way and trading amongst each other for whatever is need? |
