PointB:
Lagos is a Cosmopolitian city.

It has a long fabled history of Yoruba ownership and domination. But that's now history.

The city has evolved, as does every commercial hubs and mega cities. The Lagos you knew is dead (RIP). This is the effect of civilization; this is new Lagos. I know it's tough to fathom this, but you must embrace the new reality of Lagos. We all own Lagos now; this is the present, and future. You can't fight civilisation and win. You need to accept this to be at peace.

If you want Ogun to become a commercial hub like Lagos, be ready to for Ogun to evolve like Lagos. Is Ogun ready for civilisation? The people who will invest money in Ogun will come with their conditions, and of course baggages. Does Ogun know that she can't eat her cake and have it.

so the folks who voted for trump all in the name of wanting their country back are against civilization abi. Truth is the yorubas still edge it when it comes to politics which is what dictates commerce and businesses all over the world. The yorubas will play the right politics to address this issue and it's only to whine and whine online you guys will do. Lagos state is now part of the Odua group and that speaks volume, they won't make noise like you guys do online but in few years time when things begin to unfold, you will be back to shout and wail.

zenmaster:

Jimi Agbaje realized that Igbo amaka

and he succeeded abi?

zenmaster:
LMAO
Suffersticated
So how do you plan to counter this so-called strategy

just like the strategy that made Jimi Agbaje lost his bid to become Lagos Governor despite the billions he spent.

PointB:
We will nip to seed in the bud, and we will raise Nigerians consciousness of Yoruba intention to cheat the rest of us of our investments in Ports and other federal facilities in Lagos. Imagine the revenue generated in the Ports only (the only viable ports), Yorubas want to claim all for themselves? It's not gonna happen.

If and when it's time to restructure, we'll make sure Lagos is reclassify as Home for All, and outside the control of South West.

Lagos is like Oil! God gave Nigeria both; no one persons is going to have absolute control of it.

Lagos belong to Nobody; Lagos belongs to Everybody. That is why it is now - No Mans-Land!

Another blackmail that will not work just like the biafra ish lol

zenmaster:
No one is claiming anything.
Igbo pay for land in Lagos, and the indigenes continue to sell. Whose fault is that?


Igbo amaka

the problem with you guys is that you reveal your strategy too early which is not a wise thing to do cos you can be easily countered.

[quote author=jollymizzle post=62247167]We sow the seed and we wait, even with my stance on this matter I do not think I being unreasonable.you are saying it's a no man's land, I'm saying it belongs to the yorubas. however discussions such as this would help bring this matter to a speedy conclusion. /quote]
Exactly and when it starts, they will be the first to cry and shout o

PointB:
They fail to take advantage of glaring opportunity, yet they want you to remain like them.

Lebanese, Chinese, Indians, etc are carving out Lagos for themselves, yet pathetic clowns who do not have half-plot of land in Lagos are forming owners! Soon someone will make the Oba of Lagos an offer he can't refuse, and he'll hurriedly relocate his palace to his favorite spot - the Lagoon, and with a very sweet reason which these loquacious yoruba will be jostling to defend. Winter is coming...

chai, oba of Lagos don suffer but do I blame you? No, the oba of Lagos has himself to blame for trying to sell his heritage!

zenmaster:
ethnic hatred is bad for your health
Support one Nigeria

cc Leez, PointB

ethnic hatred is actually when you want to claim what's not yours in the first place, ok?

bakynes:
I agree but you know that place is the real Lagos the name was just adopted for the other parts that were included so it might be difficult to adjust it to Oba of Lagos Island.

We must keep countering the Igbos even though it's not something we shd be arguing about the ownership but if we allow lies to go on for so long it will eventually become the truth.

truth is folks like the current oba of lagos and lagos politicians are not helping matters, they are ready to sell their heritage just for political gains which will not even affect them now but generations after them. The way the Lagos cultural heritage is being assaulted, hmmm I pity Lagos state indigenes o! Am from neighbouring Ogun state and that's why am bothered cos if I say e no concern me na small small e go reach my backyard as my town is just 45 mins drive from Lagos.

bakynes:
I agree totally with you, even Akiolu himself is not a Benin Man, he is Awori(Yoruba man) very simple history the Local indigene(Awori) Asked for help from the Oba of Benin to help fight Invading Dahomey warriors and they asked the Benin emissaries to stay and that was how the place was named Eko and the kingship started. 3 generations down the line the Oba didn't bare a son and that was how his daughter married an indigene(awori).

Many of this Igbo folks don't even know Ondo and Ekiti were under the Benin Empire just like Lagos does that make Ondo and Ekiti Benin land. Even Onitsha was under Benin Empire and so many other places in the Southern part of Nigeria.

Even the now Britain today was from the name Britannia is a Roman name when the Anglo saxins were under Roman Empire does that make Britain for the Romans? That's how Old Empire system is.

guys these days just rely on stories they read on social media, no personal research to know historical facts. But it's high time the lagos oba stick to his domain and stop acting as if he is the oba of lagos state. He is the one giving these uneducated folks the mouth to argue to rubbish history.

bakynes:
That is why I said you are not ready to learn the truth, see Lagos Island is the place called Lagos Originally which has ties with Benin, after amalgamation some parts of the western region were included to Eko(Lagos) to form Lagos State.

All those places I mentioned which make up 90% of Lagos state today are undisputed Yoruba Land. They have no ties with Benin at all, they were under the control of Awujale of Ijebu land and Olota of Ota(Awori)

I think it's high time the 'oba of lagos' title is redesigned to 'oba of lagos island' to stop this confusion. Even the present oba of lagos seems to be taking advantage even though he knows the boundary of his domain. Those who are not educated enough thinks he is the oba of Lagos state and that once he speaks, he is also speaking for those in badagry, epe or ikorodu.

Lots of folks don't even know epe is divided into two and has two obas, truly our school education na wash

TheKingIsHere:
You are only coming up with mere assumptions not a tangible evidence. Oba of Lagos says that Lagos belong to the Benin Kingdom. Even this professor that you supported said that the Benin populace were predominant in Lagos. They never mentioned Lagos island. They referred to the entire state.

That's why the whole Lagos(not just Lagos island) is called Eko which is a Benin word.

@the bolded, this is error, the oba of Lagos domain does not extend beyond the small lagos island, you guys should be properly educated. The oba of lagos is not the oba of lagos state. Other parts of the lagos metropolis have always had their obas till this very day. Even the oba of lagos knows his limitations. The contention of Lagos owned by the binis is the island or you want to include places like mowe, ibafo, ikorodu, badagry as belonging to the binis too?

the igbos have started misfiring again

Fans of the Algerian national team gave the Super Eagles of Nigeria a warm reception upon their arrival in Constantine ahead of tomorrow’s game against Algeria.
The game is of no significant as Nigeria have already qualified for the World Cup from the group that has Algeria, Cameroon and Zambia, thanks to their unbeaten run with only the draw against Cameroon denting their perfect start.
Algeria are bottom of the group after a terrible run that saw them use three coaches despite the avalanche of star players available to the country.
Upon the arrival of the Super Eagles for tomorrow’s dead rubber tie some of the fans spoke with Owngoalnigeria.com, and they were full of praise for the star players in the Nigerian team.
” Mikel, Victor Moses and Alex Iwobi, your big players played every game with their heart in it, but our star players Islam Slimani, Riyad Mahrez and Yacine Brahaimi are not committed “, a fan who identifies himself as Masoud said.
Another who was listening to the conversation also joined in the interview and his opinion was same as his friend Masoud regarding the star players of Algeria.
” Nigeria are going to the World Cup because Mikel, Moses, Iwobi and Kelechi Iheanacho sacrificed to help their country progress, we can’t say same here on Algeria, Mahrez, Slimani and the other big playersn prefer their clubs to the national team”, he said.
Another close follower of Algerian football Majid also echoed the praise of his fellow countrymen for the Nigerian stars and just like them, he also criticised players of his country for their poor showing.
” Our players are bigger than our coach; they play for themselves and not for the team unlike Nigeria. You see Moses tracking back to win balls, Mikel is here for a game that has no meaning, I’m not sure any Algerian player can do so. It’s a pity”.

So no elder from their father or mother side that can talk to them?

people from that side don't listen to elders, in fact because of their money they can tell an elder to sit down and the elder will obey

drizzymadbet:
Useless fellow, the weakness never start self, when you are out of government and those crumbs cease, then your eyes would clear Wella.

Same would happen to all these useless BMC crew here on nairaland with no sense of their own. Even the idiot who hails from middle belt who still defends the government when his brothers are being killed by Fulani herdsman, how low can one go?

It's really pathetic

abeg chill, the guy was the md of SUN newspapers before his current position, he was not a poor man at all, moreover he also comes from a very comfortable family background. He had a life before his current position

powerdiode:
Even mere looking at their name I MAY not want to help them...... Abeg go and change the GOODLUCK and JONATHAN from your name and re apply!

mhen you no kind o!

Greener pastures

Doctors are required all over the world And in western countries, they are well paid, respected and supported with advanced technology to allow them work in a conducive environment .

Nigeria is not a serious country,very soon it will become clear that our medical system is what we should have set up instead of sponsoring elections.

Those who have money in the country are patronising foreign hospitals instead of establishing medical centres through Honest medical contracts, those who stole and still steal our commonwealth should desist from playing with our medical institutions because that is the only thing the poor and the rich have in common.

Oya gbere oooooo!

I will even advise any doctor who is willing to seek greener pastures abroad to do so as the world has become a global village, I know a medical doctor friend working in Lagos state Govt Hospital who got a job in Australia directly from Nigeria, a car and a house was already waiting for him before he arrived there. If your skills are more needed and will be appreciated better somewhere else, who will not take that opportunity. More doctors will still leave with the rising demand in western Nations for their services

Algeria Coach Madjer Blast – Nigerian Team Is Full Of Bench Warmers Bar Arsenal Iwobi


Newly appointed coach of Algeria national team Rabah Madjer has hit out at the Nigerian team who his team will be facing on Friday in a dead rubber World Cup 2018 Qualifiers tie.
Speaking to the press in Algeria, Madjer who was not in charge of the team when they suffered a 3-1 loss to Nigeria in the reverse tie played in Uyo said the Nigerian team has many players who don’t get to play for their European clubs..
” I have studied the Nigerian team, apart from Iwobi, every other player is mostly a substitute for their team in Europe , but that doesn’t mean they will not be at the level to face us”, Madjer said.
” The game against Nigeria is not a friendly match for me, to me it’s the first game of the qualifiers for the 2018 African Cup of Nations in Cameroon”.

Yet they qualified for the wc while your regular players got banged by Zambia home and away. Madjer abeg yan another tory

Useless people, so they couldn't drop it from 120 to 100 if it was about 'change' abi?

I thought the concession agreement was for few years sef. How many years more?

exactly but do price of things go down in Nigeria, we are all guilty of this, even the garri seller will increase price for no justifiable reason, it's our way

safarigirl:
this is irrelevant to the entire point.

Whether he found out via the news on TV or a WhatsApp broadcast message, he is still going to play for England

whether the fish swallow Jonah or Jonah swallow the fish, we don't want to know, all we know it's that 'there was a swallow'

Freeze,Bible teacher?

oloriooko:
Am so pissed about this Tammy saga, so much talk and abuses from so many people
Please all you should let Tammy be!
If he chose to play for England, so be it!
If he turns back to choose Nigeria, so be it!
But enough of all the insults on the young man
He has the full right to make his choice of country to play for

Nigerians are just too emotional and we even see it here on this forum just like folks abusing rohr for not inviting their own players. The Tammy debate was unnecessary in the first place and we don't learn from the past, were we not here when sidney sam, jordan ibe and the rest dished Nigeria too? I will also blame those even here on this forum who promotes these players as if they are angels. We Nigerians are very emotional and we should be careful how we hype these players and try to force them to play for us when they are under pressure. Let's leave it to the coaches and nff to make the final decision on these players. Nigeria will continue to be blessed with a pool of gifted players that can never run dry. What do we want countries like mali, dr congo and senegal to do who keeps loosing very highly talented players like water to countries like France and co. The day I heard Ngolo kante was from Mali, I screamed, only God knows what would have happened if Kante was a Nigerian, we may perhaps be thinking of bombing France by now, abeg make we chill o!

Still don't want to see him near any of our national teams. Congrats to him though

Since Tammy has been called up by the English national team coach for their games this November so let's drop all the arguments now including advertising all those small children that still don't know where they truly from.

justwise:
Trump is a joke, more than 50 people were killed in las vegas shooting by a white American but Trump refused to talk about gun law and now 8 people are killed by an immigrant he is talking about cancelling visa lottery.

the man na confirm werey nah, when Trump's tenure is over, the next democratic president will come and clean up the republican's mess as usual

I don't know why the old man would want to stay beyond 2019 . . . taking his health and age into consideration.

The only reason I will support his second term is, if there are guarantees he will be unreservedly ruthless against corruption and fostering people developmental policies, knowing he no longer needs re-election.

There are no guarantees, moreover, nothing stops him from godfathering a younger, astute, trustworthy, patriotic, smart, successor.

if he could not fight corruption to a standstill in hi first term, is it in the second term he will now fight it? Pls let's not push our luck too far, as you said we need a younger person now if possible at the most in his fifties who will be able to cope with the digital age we are in now.

We are becoming too backward as a nation and this is no joke.

ffk seriously wants a job but baba no give am face

these fellows are jesters, the earlier they embrace ranching, the better for them. We are in the 21st century pls

What they don't realize is that the states can make laws that will improve security within their territory.

that is it, when a state govt gets serious in enforcing the law, na begging go follow instead of the usual shakara, was it not the same fulani claiming that they also originate from benue? thumbs up for the benue govt, just hope they won't compromise sha
