Lagos is a colonial name and doesn’t belong to Yorubas of Oyo.

Continue hiding under a Yoruba name. But, this is me being genuinely curious, why the hate towards your fathers' land?
Why do you guys despise the Southeast this much?

Mschew 😴 at the end of this your rant abeg tell me how much you are selling that your grandfather's farmland so I can pay and develope it.

all these RoNu e-thugs seff 😏

While you continue to abandon your father's land? Wait, are you guys cursed by your ancestors or sth? Why the hate for your homeland?

Who in Nigeria dares to call Kano a no-man’s-land? Who would ever stand in Anambra or Enugu and say the land belongs to everyone? The answer is clear, nobody. Because the owners would never tolerate it. Yet, when it comes to Lagos, some feel bold enough to erase history and downplay Yoruba identity.

Let it be known: Lagos is Yoruba land. It was founded, nurtured, and grown by the Yoruba people long before it became the bustling economic hub of Nigeria. Hospitality does not mean dispossession. Tolerance is not weakness.

Now, let’s ask a simple question: who abandons his father’s building, only to start boasting that he is developing another man’s house? Is that wisdom, or confusion? If truly you are builders, why not build your ancestral homeland into the pride of Africa? Why not pour that self-acclaimed “development mindset” into the land of your fathers, where your roots, history, and heritage are buried?

Instead, some prefer to scatter across the country, shouting about how they are the ones “developing Lagos.” But the irony is bitter: no man abandons his father’s land and then claims ownership of another man’s. If your land cannot hold your dreams, then perhaps the real question should be directed at your leaders, why have they failed to make your home habitable?

The truth is simple. If Lagos were truly a no-man’s-land, nobody would fight so hard to lay claim to it. People only scramble for what belongs to someone. Lagos belongs to the Yoruba. Others may live, trade, and prosper here, as guests, as residents, as fellow Nigerians, but never as landlords rewriting history.

It is time for the Southeast to rise to its responsibility. Make your homeland attractive. Build your own cities. Develop your own states. Show the same energy in Aba, Onitsha, and Enugu that you claim in Lagos. That way, your children will not have to roam other people’s lands to prove their worth.

Hospitality is not inheritance. Lagos is Yoruba land, welcoming, yes, but never ownerless.

immaculatesense:
But Number One state in the whole country is not Lagos but Ondo state, a SW state.
Na IGBOS full there again? Na IGBOS full Lagos my foot. If Na IGBOS full Lagos, Kaduna, Kano, Abuja, SW, NW, NC like you all claimed. Then Igbo is the largest tribe in Nigeria which is closer to lues than truth.

No Be Juju Be Dat?
