Which Lagos? Is it Lagos as a state or Lagos as a City?

First it was "all land in Lagos belongs to us, we own all the houses and the real estate";
Then "we developed all of Lagos";
then "Lagos is a no man's land";
then "Lagos is not part of Southwest";
Then "Lagos is not a Yoruba land";
Then "Benins are owners of Lagos";
Then "you're not a True indigen of Lagos";
Then "Lagos culture is not the same as the Yoruba Culture";
Then "Lagos is indigenous land of Lagos natives not Yoruba";
Then "Aworis are not Yoruba";
Then "Lagos is a former federal capital so it is not a Yoruba Land";
Then "Lagos is a formal British colony so it belongs to the British";
To them, Lagos belongs to any other tag or people, but not the Yorubas.
