When did i say i dislike and hate the indigene. We are arguing on land ownership. You really are a child. Stop being insecure man. Growup

Well come and take me out of lagos since i dont have right to be in lagos


Well if you believe that, good for you. Yo are also Nigerian, everywhere in Nigeria is your business grin grin grin
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.

Again. Thank you for your service.

your children will continue from where you stop..

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

I will like to communicate with a Lagos State indigene Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba, Bini etc extraction. I am not interested in chatting with someone from Osun and Ondo State.

Most people from Lagos State that I know are very civil and smart, but I see a lot Ijebu Ode people coming online to claim ownership of Lagos instead of their own State.

The demolition in Lagos is to solve economic menace, and most of the people who develop properties in Lagos and Abuja happen to the people from South Eastern States whose business thrive in Lagos and Abuja.

Property development is a Business, if they build at Erosion site, it is a risk and if they lose at Ikota, they will mark up the price somewhere else. Business has risks.
GUNITGuy is right and you're still deceiving yourself..

most of what is Lagos today was orignally part of Ogun state..

why are you not talking and concerned about your SE states?

will you die if you talk about your SE stateshuh

It has now reached the Stage for Yoruba people to Start learning the Yoruba Moba
Pre Oduduwa History of Lagos
Which is. Incredibly Massive


This is a good opportunity to reteach them including the Epic Yoruba History

Do you know there were moba Yoruba people in Lagos long before Oduduwa was born they had their own Kingdom
And the moba crown predates Oduduwa's own


If we tell them a little of the History of Yoruba Lagos if they have Conscience they will Shut up and beg for Forgiveness

There were Yorubas in Lagos long before Oduduwa was born
The first Oba of Ilesha fetched water from the sea at moba to Cure Oduduwa’s Blindness in the 10 th Century

moba is around Victoria Island
The moba crown Predates Oduduwa’s own it was some of theirPeople that Migrated to Otun Ekiti some are in Ijebu

The 9th Century 160km Eredo Wall near Ijebu was part of their Kingdom that reached the Sea and
Many Islands off the Coast of Lagos

most of the time they are Categorised with the Awori
but though they are now part of the Awori they were in Lagos Centuries Earlier

it was the Pre Oduduwa moba King called Seniade who idol Worshippers deified as Olokun
The Island he ruled from off the Coast of Lagos has now been submerged by the sea
And that was why his people moved to moba

If you see Ancient Yoruba Artifacts in South Africa from before Oduduwa was born Just know that it was moba People who took it there .
They ruled over a String of Islands and were experts in Travelling between Islands in the Atlantic Ocean

Can you see that if you think the History of Lagos Started with Oduduwa in the 10th Century you have not yet began


Sungbo Eredo Wall the UNESCO World heritage Site was built by the Yoruba Moba Pre Oduduwa People of whose Kingdom reached the Islands off the Coast of Lagos

Yoruba History is a God Given Epic

The challenge of many Yoruba people on nairaland is ignorance and timidity. Who ever disagrees with your propaganda and attempts to educate you must be an Igbo. I am not Igbo, I am from the Niger Delta, and my wealth feeds you actually. Without me, you are just another Yoruba Agbero seeking ownership of Lagos State. Some people from Ila Orangun in Osun State and Itire with tribal marks are also claiming to be Lagosians even though no Lagosian has tribal marks. grin

Shall we begin? Yoruba is a minority tribe in Lagos State. Many Lagosians speak Igbo, Hausa, Fulani, Ibibio etc. If you are not born in Lagos, you are NOT a Lagosian, except you are an investor, so if we go by investment, Igbos own Lagos, full stop.

Ethnicity is not the base of country creation or nation formation. You are an adult, you should know that many countries in Africa are multi ethinic. Even outside africa, we have multi-racial. At the present moment, Yo are living under the Nigeria government. I am sure you sing national anthem in school instead of your ethinic song.

Dont be a child, you are bound by your constitution. It overides your ethinicity claim to land ownership. Until the day your ethinicity form their own country, your rights to land ownership is bound by the Nigerian constitution. lol

The word tribe and nation are used interchangeably but hold very different meanings for many Native people.
I am not Nigerian.. to claim someone is Nigerian means the person ethnicity did not exist before year 1840s which is false and means the person is a creation of british people which is also false..

Ethnicity is the base of country creation. that is why most european countries are named after their european ethnicities.

the constitution does not override ethnic claim of land ownership. if that was true then Ijaw militants will not be getting monthly allowance from the F:G.

Lagos is a former Capital and was built with the common wealth of Nigeria, it is not Yoruba wealth so Yorubas can not say they own a place they did not build. The last owners were actually the ones who named them. Oko is not a known word, it is the first time I am learning that you can name a Bush, as Bush, when we all know that Bush is bush, so thats tautology
Lagos was built with the common wealth of Yorubas not Nigeria..

Nigeria only started having its own wealth after the discovery oil..

before the discovery of oil, it was wealth of western Nigeria that was used to sustain Nigeria.

that is one of the reasons your igbo forefathers tried to use a civil war to conquer and take over the SW and Lagos but it failed and backfired. your forefathers could not even get pass Ondo even with the help of Yoruba traitors..

Take the emotional lenses off and look at another perspective as follows -

A Lagosian is anyone given birth to in Lagos State, whether his parents speak Hausa, Fulani, Igbo, Yoruba or any other language does not define a Lagosian. We have Igbo speaking part of Cross River at Ukwa, we also have Igbo Speaking part of Akwa Ibom. That does not mean they are not Akwa Ibomites or Cross Riverians. We have Igbo speaking part of Rivers State too.

Lagos is a State. One of the 37 States in Nigeria. Every State that I know of, have many indigenous languages. A State like Cross River, have over 50 languages, and they communicate to each other using English Language.

Lagos State also has so many languages being spoken by Lagos State indigenes, few of the Language are Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, Fulani, Owori, etc.

Osun State indigene is not a Lagosian. Ondo State indigene is not a Lagosian. Anambra Indigene is not a Lagosian, and Edo State Indigene is not a Lagosian.



Lagos is not owned by a tribe at the moment, but there was a time she was owned by Benin, Portugal and a cartain Yoruboid tribe.

Fullstop.
the entire SW is owned by Yorubas you can hate it or love it.

there is no such thing as a Lagosian..

If war breaks out the non-Yorubas in the SW will leave and flee the SW.. they will not say they are "Lagosian". even the binis claiming Lagos now will flee to Edo if war breaks out...

Lagos state is a state in Nigeria. The indigenous people ( inhabiting or existing in a land from the earliest times ) in Lagos are the Yoruba.
There is no ethnicity known as "Nigerian" so in reality there's nothing like Nigerians.

Whoever is too lazy to research history should STFU.
There was mainland Yoruba land that spanned current SW Nigeria, Kwara, parts of Kogi, most of Benin Republic and parts of Togo.
Lagos island (isale eko) which was first named internationally by portuguese and later explored by the English is 5-10% of current Lagos. This part was initially inhabited by very few wandering Yorubas from the mainland. Most of This parts was sacred uninhabited land used to worship OLOKUN and to do some sacrifices from Yoruba mainalanders.
When the FREED SLAVES that still remember thIer Yoruba heritage requested to come back yo Africa , they were dumped on LAGOS ISLAND.
When mainlanders invaded them, they requested Benin king to help them. This king from the last child of Odudwa who felt marginalized, sent warriors who conquered land for the helpless islanders. Then they set up an outpost called Eko. But when the rest of Yorubaland decided to challenge this, the Benin monarchy decided to relinquish total authority, but demand homage from the EKO (lagos island) king. Until this was stopped much later.
This was the history!
Your story is false...

Yorubas occupied everywhere including the island that is why the portuguese never stayed long because the Yoruba warriors who were in those places were fighting them and that is why the SW does not speak portuguese..

your story on "freed slaves" is alsl false.
to request help from the benin kingdom they will need cellphones because Lagos is far from the bini kingdom and that makes your story nonsense.

bini king will never help them because sending bini warriors to Lagos will be a suicide mission because to the right of Lagos is more Yoruba towns filled with Yoruba warriors and to the left of Lagos more Yoruba towns filled with even more Yoruba warriors. the bini warriors won't even reach anywhere near Lagos before they will be killed.

TheBillyonaire:
In the vibrant tapestry of Lagos, a discourse often arises regarding its identity, particularly concerning who can rightfully claim it as their "home State." The notion that Lagos exclusively belongs to the Yorubas is challenged by those who assert that the city transcends tribal affiliations.

Seyi Law, a comedian not born in Lagos, serves as a case in point. The argument posits that his Lagosian identity is no more profound than that of other Nigerians who have made the bustling metropolis their home. This perspective extends to individuals like Chinedu or Musa, who, despite migrating to Lagos and investing a significant portion of their lives there, are perceived on equal footing with Seyi Law.

Crucially, the narrative contends that the issue is not one of tribal allegiance but rather a question of statehood. An exasperated observer laments instances where Yoruba individuals, not originally from Lagos but perhaps from Osun State, engage in misguided territorial disputes, overlooking the fact that Lagos belongs to Lagosians, not a specific tribe.

The discourse delves into historical roots, acknowledging the custodianship of the Oba of Benin, who, as a royal leader, holds sway over the historical narrative. The etymology of the name "EKO," asserted to be of Benin origin, juxtaposed with the Portuguese-derived "Lagos," underscores the historical complexity of the city's nomenclature.

The absence of a Yoruba word for Lagos adds a layer of ambiguity, prompting reflections on land ownership. The argument suggests that if "Eko" is indeed a Benin word, it implies a historical period where the Benin people laid claim to Lagos, akin to the Portuguese who named it 'Lagos.'

In the contemporary context, the narrative pivots to the inclusivity of Lagos, emphasizing that it now belongs to all. The assertion that most estates, notably the Lekki Peninsula, were predominantly built and developed by Igbo-speaking communities underscores the cosmopolitan nature of Lagos.

Despite a personal history and affinity for Lagos, I have an aversion to residing in the city due to the perceived constraints akin to an "open air prison." The metaphor of Lagosians as both warders and prisoners within the confines of their own creation, coupled with the inescapable congestion symbolized by "crazy traffic," paints a poignant picture of the challenges faced in the city.
the Yoruba word for lagos is Oko..

Lagos was called Oko which means farm in Yoruba and it was guarded and operated by Yoruba warriors and that is why many places in Lagos are named after fruits and weapons and that is also why Bini traders called it Eko which means war camp anytime they came to trade with the Yorubas.

every Yoruba person can claim anywhere in the SW...

Yorubas are not like you igbos who rebuke other igbos from claiming places in the Igbo nation.

There's a port in Rivers state called "port Harcourt".
There are also:
Calabar port
Onne port
Warri port..

SE and SS have 4 ports.
2 in Port Harcourt and 1 in Calabar and 1 in Warri.

Port Harcourt and Calabar is closer to the SE than Lagos..

Apart from fact that the military built all the major infrastructure you are enjoying today they built and maintained 3 refineries, but after 25 long unproductive years in power the useless politicians built NO refinery and couldn't even revive the once built by the military. Is that not shameful enough to see that they have failed the Nigerian people. All they do is loot the country dry, owe workers salaries for months, use security forces to intimidate political opponents and have blatant disregard for court orders.
During military era public primary and secondary schools were in shambles, there was zero public amenities for the public, 90% of roads were dirt roads, public hospital were in shambles, public universities were terrible..

Right now it's even worse because most of the soldiers are anti-southern Nigeria, anti-christian and anti-igbo.. a military coup will not favor the SE and SS.

My friend you are either really daft or you clearly do not understand economics. The crude you are talking about, will their workers not eat? Will they not wear clothes, do they not make phone calls? They perform a function like every other industry.

This started as a discussion about government revenue but since you want to go off course, I will go there with you. Every industry is important and all are interlinked and dependent on each other but if you analyze them by what they contribute:

Economy/Employment:
The oil industry employs less people than agriculture, transport, banks, telecoms, education, health etc. it is a component of the economy, it fuels the economy but it is not the economy…..it never never ever has been! I was even being generous when I said thee oil industry was less than 15% of our economy. Since you decided to respond with this nonsense, I decided to fact check…..it is actually less than 6%!

Revenue:
The advent of crude and the removal of resource control and financial autonomy made us lazy so we depended on crude for govt revenue but the withholding of allocations by Obasanjo and Tinubu’s response to increasing IGR has led governments at state and federal levels to up their game and increase non oil revenues improve tax collection etc etc. now oil receipts as a percentage of total government revenues is less than 50%. Like I said to you 30% of the mon eh shared I. September came from VAT. Where is thee most VAT collected….Lagos…..Lagos is not an oil economy. If you look at many states they make more money from IGR than they get from FAAC, dont forget FAAC itself is oil + vat + company tax + customs duty, so even the FAAC they are distributing, oil revenue is less than half of it and states are generating more IGR than the whole FAAC. That should tell you oil is no longer as important as a source of govt revenue as you think. It’s importance is for forex.

Forex: this is where oil shines because we export very little. However in recent times due to more Nigerians living abroad, diaspora remittances have matched and in some years (of low oil production/low oil prices) exceeded our forex revenues from oil sector.

Nigeria makes most of its forex today from diaspora remittance. However that remittance is not official, it is only for official forex that we are dependent on oil revenues.

Crude oil is the rock of Nigeria's economy. Anything you read anywhere is nonsense.

You're very daft and you lack intelligence to engage in economic discussions..

what you're talking about is sale of crude oil that is not refined... refined crude oil into its other products makes Nigeria billions of dollars.

I'm not the one that said Nigeria should not refine their own crude oil.. In fact, Nigeria is so rich from the sale of un-refined crude oil that it can afford to import refined products of crude oil and sell it to the public..

you get and believe information from organisations that are meant to keep you dull and in slavery...

If that is the angle you are coming from, You have an education deficiency if you don’t know that the oil industry is less than 15% of Nigeria’s GDP.

We are talking about revenue. The oil industry is becoming less and less a source of government revenue. Crude and gas are the biggest source of official forex but I am sure you will also argue ignorantly when I tell you Nigeria gets more forex from diaspora remittances than it gets from oil. Your cousin abroad who sends money to his parents bring in more forex for the country than Oil…..Shocking I know…but true!!!

Our economy has never been an oil economy. Our government revenue had been dependent on oil due to laziness. Don’t confuse the 2! The only major significance of the oil industry to Nigeria is official source of forex.

The largest companies in Nigeria are not oil companies. Of the top 10 listed companies in Nigeria only 1 is oil related and it is no 10 on the list and it is almost 1/5th the size of the company in no 5 slot which is a food company!
Nigerias richest men are not oil related. Food, telecoms, banking is where our economy is. Oil is really only important for forex. The money we are sharing every month, most of it is company tax, vat and customs duty. Pletase go and verify.
Crude Oil is important to transportation, providing electricity to houses, aviation fuel, plastics, electricity to businesses, electricity to companies you claim are biggest in Nigeria.

Crude does not account for 85% of govt earnings. It constitutes the major source of forex not overall revenue.

The majority of govt revenue comes from customs duty, company tax and Vat.

VAT alone was 1/3rd of FAAC allocation in September for example.

If oil production is low, and the cost of production goes up then revenue from oil will go down and oil producing states will not get as much as they previously did.

It will surprise you that because oil production has fallen so much some of the states you mention bring more non oil revenue to the Centre than some of the states you mentioned bring from oil.

without crude oil the transport industry is dead and most businesses and companies in Nigeria rely on fuel or diesel for their generators to power their businesses.

Some of those States actually have higher FAAC allocation but lesser FAAC allocation received due to external debts. Federal Government always deduct external debts commitment by each States before remittance of it's FAAC allocation due. E.g Ogun State and Lagos State
you guys have been deceived..

Tax revenue can never ever be more than crude oil revenue and even the tax is gotten from taxation of crude oil extracting and petroleum companies...

you are the ones spreading fake news

Baba gud day, please go easy ooo.SE issues shouldn’t distract or make us be at dagger’s drawn on each other considering that we are only analyzing.
He said I was "slow".. so I responded accordingly...

If someone abuses and talks down on you on the internet the best response is to abuse the person back and talk down on the person.

98% of people who talk down on others suffer from inferiority complex and don't know how to engage in intelligent conversations without trying to belittle the other person.

It seems you’re high on cheap wine

Because he’s the only midfielder on the pitch it means all finish passes must pass solely through him

How deluded are you ?

From full backs to center backs to wingers

All of them should be able to do what iwobi does to a degree

Saying i won’t score because I’m a defender is pure foolishness
Saying i can’t drop a pinpoint pass when the need arises because I’m a cb is pure ludacris

What are they on the field for if they can’t thread the needle with a pass ?

Iwobi is not a cdm nor a Cb nor a Rb but within a 90mins frame he covers those positions upto 5 times each

So he’ll say I’m not a cb I won’t close out the open man

Bros you’re slow you’re slow you’re slow

Arnold shouldn’t bring in dead balls because it’s meant for only midfielders

Marcelo won’t dribble because it’s meant for only attackers

Theo Hernandez won’t overlap because it’s meant for only wingbacks

Bros you’re slow some of you need to be screen out of here
You're the one that's slow. You're putting words in my mouth that I never said you lack intelligence and suffer from low self-esteem.

I am the one that said fullbacks and wingers are chance creators and are the ones who assist.

Your dumb and dull brain said " When you have only attackers creating chances for their fellow attackers there’s a problem".

Now you're changing your words because you know you're saying nonsense and rubbish.

You're a child using childish antics to deceive yourself that you have sense but you're a senseless fool.

You can't even come up with your own ideas you have to steal my own ideas and use it against me you're very stupid and dull.

The bolded is a total misyarn and bull crap

When you have only attackers creating chances for their fellow attackers there’s a problem

When you have only iwobi being the creative mind in the midfield there’s a problem

When you have 1 assist as his only highlight in 4 previous matches there’s a problem

When you don’t know your best cb pairing there’s a problem

We’re playing against average teams that can’t hold the ball we’re struggling, what happens when we qualify for World Cup and meet a team of our caliber or higher

Then it’ll end with at least we try na
In Liverpool, apart from the fullbacks the attackers create chances for each other so you're the one saying bull crap.

Iwobi is usually the only midfielder on the pitch so yes he will be the only creative mind in midfield because he is the only midfielder.

Only 1 assist proves my point on attackers and fullbacks been the ones to create chances and Iwobi is not a Bruno Fernandez or Jude Bellingham type of midfielder.

If the strikers and midfielders don't drop deep to help the defenders then no CB pairing will ever work and that's why the SE has been conceding the same type of goals with different CB pairing.

SE players don't also know how to hold ball that's why they concede goals..

Portugal have already shown SE what would happen if we play higher rank teams when they beat SE 4 - 0.

We conceded from set-pieces and not open play.And most of these have been as a result of bad goal keeping and poor defending. In as much as we are struggling to score, we should not also be letting in goals like basket.

Everything boils down to the coach. He promotes mediocrity. Bench is supposed to be for non performers but our coach prefers to reward mediocrity. While it's ok to defend your players publicly, JP should have benched Uzoho and any player that makes mistakes. That way you build seriousness and discipline.
Bad goalkeeping and bad defending are a result of lean midfield and offensive players not dropping deep to help defense and midfield.

Sports and football is played to take advantage of bad defending or to make the opponents make mistakes then pounce on the mistake.

The SE concedes because the opponents know how to make the SE players make mistakes and also know that the SE players have a lackadaisical attitude.

These are the same players and same formation Rohr, Eguavoen used so JP is not the person picking the players and formation.
