Lol, let the Awori Idejo white cap chiefs catch you claiming that Benin descendants own Lagos Islands. Even the Oba of Lagos is a descendant of Alaagba, the Ijesha priest of Oba Akinshemoyin. Stop making spurious claims o.

The only job an average Nigerian girl can do to make money is prostitution that's why it's easy to lure them with prostitution.

The rate our girls are using their kpekus to generate funds should be discussed at the National Assembly cos it has become a national issue.

how can returne slaves be the true lagosians?

I meant the ones taken away from badagry to Brazil as slaves to work on plantations; most of them actually came back after the abolishment of slave trade with names given to them by their Masters.

Chartey:
Even the name Lagos is Portuguese. Only a non - Lagosian will be surprised by the Portuguese heritage of Lagos.

yes ooo, most people do think there are no original Lagosians as Yoruba but when they read, they will understand more.the Benin descendants are probably the greatest beneficiaries of Lagos today, na dem get Lagos islands and their King too.

Christane:
Gomez ??...he his from Mexico or Colombia ...how cum d name gomez

read the history of freed slaves brought from Brazil; when slave trade was abolished, most of freed slaves was actually moved back to their roots/ country, in Nigeria most were brought back through the sea to costal town known as badagry today and they settled there and that's why their generations still bears their name. ; most with Portuguese and Latin names, such as the Da Silvas, the Martins, the Pedros; these surnames popular for badagry , na dem be true lagosians, including the aworis that inhabited places like Sango Otta, Isheri, Ikeja, Iyanapaja, Isolo, Iganmu, Ikotun, Iyanoba and so on and the Benin descendants that occupied what is now known as Lagos islands, na dia linage be always King Of Lagos....
