All Obas of Lagos trace their lineage to Ashipa, a war captain of the Oba of Benin. Ashipa was rewarded with the title of the Oloriogun (or War leader) and received the Oba of Benin's sanction to govern Lagos on his behalf. The slaves that returned to Lagos to join the Binis and the Awori are not all even Yoruba, they are tribes across Nigeria

Three groups made up Lagos: 1 The Binis, who established the traditional Government in Lagos still currently practice. The OBAship

2) The Aworis, who were fishermen and they were under the rule of the Obas(Binis)

3) The returned slaves, where not just only Yoruba but from other tribes across Nigeria
These are the reason why Lagos is been termed as no man land. Do your research or ask your elders

Stop saying rubbish and rewriting history with false and nonsense info.

The Oba of Benin had an intermediary in Lagos who used to communicate with the Yorubas ( who was later called the Oba of a particular section of Lagos).

he was a person who traded with the indigenous Yoruba and more of an intermediary or secretary or diplomat of the Oba of benin and if the Yorubas wanted to do business with the Oba of benin he was the intermediary they will use... Lagos was called a farm ( Oko ) and also part of Ogun then the Portuguese came and called the part of Ogun they traded with Lagos.. and it was governed by warring Yoruba tribes that's why the Oba of Benin intermediary called it war camp ( eko ).. over time the intermediary stopped been a Bini indigene and Yorubas took over the post and changed it to Oba of Lagos..

There is nothing like Pay:oneer monthly maintenance fees.

The 29dolls yearly fee is even for those accounts with cards.

If you don’t activate pa;yoneer cards, you won’t pay any fee expect the normal withdrawals/transactions fees.

If you’re paying the 3dolls monthly, it might probably not a Nigeria Pa:yoneer account.

Its a Nigerian Pay:oneer account.. the images below are proof..

Omobola121:
If you’re transacting with anyone here, kindly make use of a verified escrow. This is my thread so i need to put a caution.

You can actually use payoneer virtual card to move your fund out from payoneer. You can use the card on almost all the exchanges or other platforms like wise, payday etc…

But note there is a yearly payment of 29$ for maintenance fees on the card. They usually deduct the fee at the end of the year.

musicwriter:
Ok.
Thanks very much for the info. I actually want to use it to run ads for my products.

P:ayoneer maintenance fee is deducted monthly it cost $3 per month..

If Osimhen scores one more Seria A goal, he would had accomplished something that the likes of Yekini, Kanu, martins, osaze, yakubu, Ike uche or Emanuel weren’t able to accomplish. (Score 20 League goals a season in the big 3 league). I.e 20 league goals in Epl, Seria A or La Liga a season. To me, that’s a huge sign of greatness

Simy Nwankwo already scored 20 league goals in Serie A in the 2020/2021 season...

onpoint69:
It's useless having any intelligent argument with a tribal bigot like you. Anyways those that are your leader in the SW know better or should know better than you. Have a good life if you can.

You're the one that's a tribal bigot because you cannot acknowledge and attribute the development and success of Lagos to Yoruba people.

BAT is not going to rule this country because all the Yorubas voted for him, same way Buhari could not win when he was getting all the northern votes. Every part of this country needs the others to succeed. The igbos that you are against have majorly developed several parts of Lagos and even increased it's GDP and IGR. So whoever you are I employ you to see the bigger picture and stop being myopic in your world view. Abi if God opens the way for you to go to America today won't you like to own properties there? Is that your fatherland.

Every part of this country can survive and prosper without the other parts, they don't need each other at all only parasitic, manipulative and covetous people say every part needs the others to survive.

Igbos didn't develop any part of Lagos.. Lagos has a development and infrastructure masterplan it follows created by Yoruba leaders who use the revenue Lagos earns to build it's infrastructure..

There are oil producing states in Nigeria who don't spend the revenue they earn on infrastructure and are less developed than Lagos..

will you blame the Yorubas for the under-development and bad infrastructure of oil producing states and other states in Nigeria

Lagos can make so much money and still have bad infrastructure if the Yoruba leaders in Lagos steal Lagos blindly..

Is it Igbos that are signing road construction contracts in Lagos?

Is it Igbos that are signing rail construction contracts in Lagos?

Is it Igbos that are drafting the development plan of LGAs in Lagos?

Is it Igbos that foreign investors will set up meetings with in Lagos?

Stop saying nonsense..

Let me laugh at you a bit.
I don hear, you can go now sir. Generous person. My happiness is, every one knows your tribe for what they are now. Run along sir.

My happiness is, every one knows Igbos for what they are now.

Its your call. You must regret this statement some day, but for now, feel free.
I am not emotional, I am a Realist.

You can run along now. Take care.

I will never regret any statement I make, not now or in the future...

It is not Yorubas people duty or business to empower non-yoruba people..

I am more realist than you can ever be..

You're a greedy, parasitic, manipulative and covetous person who has entitlement mentality like your ancestors...

Empower yours and let others dwindle?
What happens to unity in diversity? And yet you are not tribalistic?

Baba go sleep. You do not have a say. Just take care biko.

It is not my business if non-yorubas don't know how to empower themselves.. if they want to dwindle that's their business.

Now you're trying to use emotional blackmail..

it's Yoruba empowerment or nothing.. I only care about Yoruba unity anything else is nonsense..

gimakon:
They would not say their names to me to know where they are from?
You see how you talk? So they would not tell me their names, i should refer to them as this boy or this girl

How do you reason?

you can keep believing in your own poor thinking and bias...

its the same attitude and mentality that Nzeogwu and Ojukwu had that they falsely and wrongly accused leaders of other ethnic nations of corruption because the other regions were richer than the igbo region and to them that justified going on a killing spree killing non-igbo leaders and people...

today in 2023 you're accusing me of tribalism because I'm focusing on empowering my ethnic nation...

To you the creators of humans who created different ethnic nations are foolish and stupid... ethnic nations were created so that people focus on their ethnic nation development.. to you the God you say should lead my way is foolish for creating different tribes...

there's something wrong with you and its called greed, covetousness, envy and hatred..

gimakon:
I have helped a lot of yorubas , i don't even question tribe or what have you. What ever you type, i do not know. Just rid yourself of bias and poor thinking. Let GOD lead your way.
Tribalism is why Nigeria is like this despite being super rich, and Yoruba tribe is playing a 79% part of it.

If you didn't question tribe you won't know that you have helped a lot of Yorubas as you claim...

you are the one with bias and poor thinking..

God does not exist and Osun, Ogun, Oya, Yemoja, Sango, Olorun, Obatala are all stronger than the God that is leading your way..

Nigeria was running a sensible structure until I:gbos truncated that structure.. so Igbos are 100% responsible for the way you see Nigeria..

Jhamzy:
For this your post of hatred towards the non-Yorubas, you do not deserve to live among the real Nigerians with love, empathy and integrity.
Who told you Yorubas own Lagos
Do you Yorubas contribute even upto 25% of the GDP of Lagos
Who told you Yorubas have the final say in the elections that happen in the South West
Do you know how many Yorubas that have properties in the North, SS & SE
If they cut SW out of Nigeria, do you think you can survive without the SS & SE
What about the Yorubas that have succeeded in the US, Canada and other parts of Europe Who chase them away? Don't they have properties there?
Do you even know the history of Lagos? Go and ask the Portuguese, Aworis and the Benins etc. Oohhh, do you also want me to tell you that the throne of the Oba of Lagos is from Benin?
Do you think that Tinubu is originally from Lagos
What an educated tribal bigot you are!!!

The will of the people will stand someday, and every person whom have supported evil one way or the other will reap God's wrath in abundance.

Yoruba land does not start and end in Nigeria, Oyo empire extended into some parts of Ghana ...

If they cut SW out of Nigeria. the SW will trade with Benin Republic, Togo, Ghana and Siera Leone....

Other tribes are not bringing anything to Lagos that is not already available in Lagos or other Yoruba states.

Lagos or the SW can never be affected or be a shadow of itself if other tribes leave Lagos.

gimakon:
How you see my comment, is not in anyway how i type it. Its simple English, you of all people should have good command of English Language as to understand tones as well as depict hate and i strongly also believe you can probe into things properly before you run your assimilation. You are a graduate by the grace of almighty GOD. But , This you put here is purely based on bias and very poor thinking. Make sure you ask questions before you conclude.

I basically think you have comprehension problem. Its not a good thing.
Tribalism will not get you anywhere.

You're accusing me of bias, poor thinking and tribalism because I talk about empowering my fellow Yoruba people... then you're also a tribalist for paying your children's school fees...

gimakon:
I do not read anything from your sentiments except tribalism and what have you.
But check yourself, This in the obvious will lead you no where.
I have said mine.

No need to waste my time with you.

don't ever accuse indigenes of tribalism within their territory, to indigenes its nationalism and protectionism but to non-indigenes they will it tribalism..

Only Yoruba people can truly empower other Yoruba people.. but when Yorubas are empowering other Yorubas in Yoruba territory people like you will call it tribalism that's like a person calling you a tribalist for paying your own children's school fees and the person says there are school dropouts whose schools you should have paid instead... do you now understand how I see your comment

gimakon:
Falz nko? You will say that one is Half igbo too?
Iyabo Ojo nko? You yorubas call her Olosho and what have you because she day date Igbo man.

Shay e good like that?

Falz is probably in a relationship with a non-yoruba woman..

they are Yorubas who are against Yoruba interests... so whatever abuse they get is their business..

cococandy:
Why don’t Yoruba form it’s own country?

You know? Away from everything and everyone else.

Euro:pe:ans will never allow it.. same way they never allowed Igbos to separate but sold them guns to start a war instead of calling a meeting to help dissolve the country peacefully, they will sell weapons...

same thing they are doing Uk:rai:ne.

gimakon:
Good one, Church or No church, lets also learn that, moral values of another tribe should also be put to play, that is what i am saying. See the post for Mr Macaroni and how they issuing threats and see what I mean.

Mr Ma:caroni is half yoruba half Igbo... so he is not interested in protecting Yoruba interests and can never be passionate about anything that is Pro-Yoruba...

gimakon:
Does not matter sir.
What i can only say is, Stop your hate and denigration for a tribe because they did not vote someone from your tribe at this time. We do not dislike Tinubu as a person, we dislike him judging by what we have seen so far and his previous maltreatment and land grabbing metted out on the Igbos. If this was Obasanjo or someone else, it would have been utterly different.

You just can be funny most times.

the post below describes why the Lagos results happened.. it has nothing to do with non-yoruba votes and everything to do with Yoruba christians showing how strong the Yoruba christian voting block is...

Viltron:
Well, all the headquarters of the mega churches in Nigeria are in Lagos.

Majority of them were urging their members to vote against Muslim Muslim candidates.

Bola Tinubu underestimated the power of the church and will lose his grip on Lagos forever.

I'm not obituaries but I'm also not a fan of Muslim Muslim candidates.

This has little or nothing to do with Obi popularity in Lagos.

The church is responsible for his humiliation in Lagos

onpoint69:
Yorubas should also stop behaving like the ostrich and advance their frontiers into other places by been a little bit more nomadic. You people like your comfort zones too much.

the SW is not a comfort zone it is Yoruba territory and geographical location and it is the duty of Yorubas to build, upgrade and develop their territory.. It is not Yoruba duty to go and build and develop other people's territories because Yorubas are not greedy and coveteous of other people's belongings..

flyca:
What is the % of non-Igbos living in Igbo land?
As far as I know, nobody stops anybody from contesting. It's just interest. Not every non- Yoruba in Lagos is interested in Politics

I:gbos have always been interested in politics outside their I:gbo geographical location especially Yoruba politics.

gimakon:
You call them idiots because of what? They voted Igbos? Igbos are not humans like you? Not only Yorubas voted, I am grateful to them they voted right. We have 540 languages in Nigeria, and several tribes. Them too voted Obi. I do not know why you annoyed, because you hate the Igbo tribe?
I am Igbo, I voted Obasanjo and Yaradua. I also voted BankyW too for House of Reps.
This thing you day do, make you no ask questions later. Like make you no ask questions way you no get the answers. Its bad.

I no go talk anything again.

there is only 1 language in the SW and its Yoruba language..

the SW is not the whole of Nigeria..

komekn:
The oba of Lagos gets his throne of authority from the Oba of Benin , think 🤔 about that.

Finally, you may have state preference but what % of Lagosians are actually historical indigens of Lagos state, in my estimation less than 5%.

Everybody else irrespective of Tribe migrated from other parts of Nigeria, in order to contest an election you have to be a Nigerian in Nigeria.

With regards to Lagos , there is a residency requirement of which there are many fourth generation Lagosians that migrated from other states apart from Lagos into Lagos.

Essentially WAKE UP get with the programme you retrogressive neanderthal TRIBALIST.

TINUBU is not from Lagos.

the first oba of a particular section of lagos not the whole of Lagos, he was a person who traded with the indigenous Yoruba and more of an intermediary or secretary or diplomat of the Oba of benin and if the Yorubas wanted to do business with the Oba of benin he was the intermediary they will use... Lagos was called a farm ( Oko ) and also part of Ogun then the Portuguese came and called the part of Ogun they traded it Lagos.. and it was governed by warring Yoruba tribes that's why the Oba of Benin intermediary called it war camp ( eko ).. over time the intermediary stopped been a Bini indigene and Yorubas took over the post and changed it to Oba of Lagos..

Every Yoruba person in Nigeria is from all the Yoruba states combined..

Moh247:
.just be honest with yourself, you wish evil on your country because you lost an election

I did not lose an election.. I hope Tinubu wins and he prioritizes the building, upgrading and completion of sea ports and air-ports in Akwa-Ibom, Delta, Bayelsa, Calabar, Rivers so that the SW can be decongested...

KosiGee:
Show some respect mister. Focus that energy on the few schizophrenic bigots who have been restless since the results started coming out.

Falz is a proud and a brave Yoruba man, Mr Macaroni remains unshakeable and he is a brave and a proud Yoruba man. Pa Ayo Ade:banjo is a brave and a respected Yoruba man.
This isn’t about Yoruba but the LP movement. I hope and pray that all those politicians who benefited from this would work hard and not disappoint the trust which the electorates have on them. I pray the likes or Madam Ireti I’m Abuja and this Attah of a man work hard and show why they deserve the positions.

I just wish Falz and Macaroni would contest like Desmond Elliot has done. I’m sure they will win. People like Falz and Macaroni should be in federal law makers.

bayelsaowei:
he should subtly run campaigns online to gather momentum for the governorship election..

The end sars protest is a good point to harp on..Nigerians are tired and can't be taken for fools anymore..

bitbillionaire:
I understand how you feel bro. But you are missing a point here: this election proves that the non-yorubas living in Lagos probably outnumber the yorubas and they are a force to reckon with, and they are capable of even unseating an incumbent governor with their vote. Trying to victimize or treat non-yorubas in Lagos unjustly because of Tinubu's experience in this election will only backfire seriously.

The lesson here is that Lagos politicians who truly want to win an election must learn to make friend with non-indigenes and treat them well. Anything less than that is a political suicide!

DriveByKiller:
When I tell dirty tribalist that Lagos is a no man's land they think it's trolling.

The oba of Lagos has a reason why he threatened igbos during one election.

Igbos can decide who becomes governor in Lagos anytime

JohnnA1:
Olodumare, God Almighty bless you for this action points.
Yorubas have to wake up, but will we?

dominique:
I wish people can stop quoting that Yamiriflathead post, they're just making the thread unnecessarily lengthy. His stand represent less than 0.00001% of Yorubas in Lagos

this Lagos results has nothing to do with falz and Macaroni and Pa Ayo Ade:banjo.

but Falz and Macaroni and Pa Ayo Ade:banjo are Yoruba traitors...

The backlash is expected from the Yoruba christians in Lagos.

the results prove that Yoruba christians have a strong voting block in Lagos and they foolishly voted against their fellow Yoruba man because he is a muslim...

Right now you guys are hating on Tinubu who is one of the most cosmopolitan Yorubas in the SW... Tinubu brought Yorubas from all over the SW into the Lagos government and indirectly created a Cosmopolitan Yoruba state..

and to dominique, Yamiriflathead's post represents more than 90% of Yorubas in Lagos and the SW... Once Ti:nubu passes on and Yoruba christians take over Lagos the kind of tribalism you'll see will shock you..

DOM7:
Tribal bigot! Is Tinubu from Lagos? If not for outsider in multi billion businesses will Lagos be what it is today? With the lazy Yoruba people.

Gilgil:
You are getting it wrong like most people in Lagos are.

Lagos is a Yoruba state based on historical culture, however, it is a former Federal capital and is therefore a cosmopolis.

Now, the impact of the cosmopolitan nature of Lagos
on its economy far outweighs its cultural impact.
Being Federal Capital made Lagos to benefit massively from huge infrastructural developments and massive investments.

Lagos is what it is today, by virtue of its position as former Federal Capital and its coastal nature together, that has brought in people from different walks of life.

These people, have brought in their wealth, networks and experience, and together with the few locals built it up, making it the economic capital of West Africa.

No one is denying its Yoruba roots at all, that would be ridiculous, but based on economy, while the culture is respected, the multiple peoples and cultures make increasing impacts year in year out.
Bear in mind that most of the Yorubas in power in Lagos today and not originally from there, and so though Yoruba, they are also a sub-set of the non-indigenes.

It is hypocrisy to say Igbos and other cultures should be discriminated against in Lagos while hoping to make Lagos a Cosmopolitan city like London. It is the taxes and investments of foreigners that is driving the IGR of the city.

Many people arguing against other cultures in Lagos want Lagos to be like London whose mayor is not originally English but are screaming for other people taking positions in Lagos.
You can't eat your cake and have it. Remove or restrict the other cultures and watch the city go down. It's as simple as that.

For those arguing that the southeast is not accepting of other cultures, ask yourselves how many other cultures live there? This is because of 2 things; low federal investment in the SE and fewer people coming there as a result plus their inability to compete there.

So let's understand why election results can vary in Lagos but not in Ekiti. Let's not pretend to not know these.

seunaj:
Olórîburúkú ni e
Do you think that lagos will become what it is today if it was not opened up for outsiders to come and develop it?
Uneducated bigot!

seborrhic:
You think the imps know that.
Many Nations in the world encourage foreigners to come and invest in their economies,giving them various incentives,even some as far as citizenship because they bring in capital that leads to development of infrastructure and creation of jobs, particularly if you can't get such from native inhabitants or what you get is not enough.

joba4luv:
I believe those senseless people talking about tribe and ethnic here are Tinubu thugs Nigeria and Lagos is meant for Nigerians those lunatic complaining of tribe here are just land snatcher and agberos because a sensible people will understand that not Yoruba alone that built Lagos but all tribe so their thinking are so shallow to the extent that they forget that most of yorubas in other states are voting for their own choice of people interest is different from tribe and ethnicity those who are complaining that needs psychiatrist attention

emanobis:
Shame on you ..Big shame
You can write such passage and still remain a daft
I pray to see the day Igbos will leave Lagos and return home, honestly Every Single Economic Activity in Lagos will die a natural death.

Just allow Calabar and Ph seaports to commence full scale activities and know if you won't beg for food in Lagos

Other tribes are not bringing anything to Lagos that is not already available in Lagos or other Yoruba states.

Lagos or the SW can never be affected or be a shadow of itself if other tribes leave Lagos.

You will do worse if you are white ... Racism is your blood and someone like you should not be allowed to taste power, otherwise ethnic will suffer in your hand...

So if I ask you, you expect 100% Yoruba Christian to vote BAT
You expect Transporters in Lagos to vote BAT
If I ask you, your also expect lecturers to vote BAT.
You expect the elite in Lagos vote BAT.

The earlier you wake up from your slumber the better, you better go and start preparing for Saturday, before LP hijack Lagos start...

I am Yoruba and I voted Peter Obi, let's stop making everything about tribe. For me, it's ideology. I am happy my vote counted despite all the shenanigans and terrorism. Nigeria belongs to all of us!

TenQ:
Why are you this tribalistic. I am Yoruba but I voted Obi. It has nothing to do with tribal sentiments but on conviction.

Breakingnews101:
I'm Yoruba and yet I campaigned and voted for Peteobi ( as my Igbo brothers call him ). We need to wake up and take back our country from the evil leaders that have plagued us our entire lives! It should not be about tribe or religion but about who can get the job done. I'm talking to everyone including the Igbos that voted for PeteObi solely because of his ethnicity. I voted for him because I know he's the best candidate out there. A true nationalist and Nigerian who will fight for ALL Nigerians. Will Igbos have voted for an undeniably competent Yoruba man if challenged by an incompetent Igbo man is a question
I would love answered in the affirmative (I'm not quite sure of this tho). It is until we reach the state where we do not vote according to emotional and sentimental lines (like ethnicity and religion) but according to leadership competencies that our country will become what it was destined to be.
I salute you (PeteObi) my incoming president. #nigeriawillbegreatagain.

Yoruba people voting for anyone that is not Yoruba is pure foolishness and they are indirectly destroying the future of unborn Yoruba generations including their own generations..

Everything on earth is about tribe and ethnicity..

the only thing to note from this Lagos result is that Yoruba christians have a strong voting block but its still very foolish of them to vote a non-yoruba because the Yoruba person contesting is a muslim...

so what you "self acclaimed Yorubas" are saying is a Yoruba muslim should never contest for presidency and that's pure foolishness...

Moh247:
Foolishness is celebrating 4000 votes margin in Lagos

While Tinubu leads the entire election with 1.3 million margin

Some people are just dull

its not about leading with 1.3 million margin

Tinubu needs 25% of votes in at 19 states to win...

even if he leads, if he doesn't have 25% of votes in 19 states then that 1.3million lead is useless.
