loveth360:"Edo no be Lagos" anytime anyday Edo is not Yoruba. He is full blood Southeast/South South crew with huge respect amongst South South people. Respect your people ![]() |
loveth360:He is an Edo man Remember Southeast/South South ![]() |
Blackdisciple:Out of the Six southwest states Three are amongst the highest generation of VAT Lagos, Ogun and Oyo. Ondo and Ekiti are not doing baldy Perhaps only Osun has an issue. |
skybeauty:How can a business generate Value added tax that is basically a consumption tax? |
Spherical77:Oyo state generate more Vat than Kaduna and Anambra |
Ifesinachi22:Sir, Owerri was the diversion when Enugu was being repaired Plus aren't you South South/Southeast again What of the international airport in Port, Rivers State. |
NaijirianKing:@ emboldened sir please check your acohol level Calabar was never the capital of Nigeria Calabar was the capital of Southern Nigeria before Lagos colony was joined with southern Nigeria which is prequel for Northern Nigeria joining with southern Nigeria in 1914. From the time Lagos was joined to Southern Nigeria, it became the capital. Please read your history books very well. There was no intention by the British to drill Lokoja which still fell in yoruba territory of kabba province although now northern Nigeria. And again Lagos port has always been profitable for Europeans from the time of Slave trade. I didn't know North built the first university in Africa I didn't know North built ikeja industrial hub I didn't know North built the Lagos airport after the second world war I didn't know North built ports in Lagos that portuguese first traded with. Oh and first television station in Africa I didn't know it was north that built the largest entertainment hub in Africa in Lagos. Need I go on |
NaijirianKing:@ emboldened You are drunk Lagos was made capital by the British because it was self sufficient before Nigeria even got independence. Lagos already had an airport, two seaports a technical college before Nigeria got independence, the later of which generated revenue (tariffs) which the federal government depended upon.. What did Kaduna have? Please read history or at least get someone with a brain to narrate history to you. |
Nathan2016:is there another international airport in Southwest outside Lagos? So if a Yoruba person was coming from outside Nigeria, he has no other choice than to land in Lagos before proceeding to his or her state. Kano, Abuja and Enugu are international airports And imo airport served as diversion while Enugu was being repaired.. Hence, the high numbers of those airports |
thebosstrevor1:Majority of the airports with large numbers are international airports and I think Owerri served as diversion when Enugu was being repaired. Kano, Lagos, Abuja and Enugu are international airports. |
All the airports in top six are actually international airports. So I don't understand why some people are celebrating like they won a world cup. There's only one international airport in Southwestern Nigeria and we are not complaining about marginalization. |
This is simply a perception of igbo man Yoruba have always been in opposition to Hausa/igbo government. Even immediately after the civil war. It was only in 2015 the idea changed. Check Nigerian history very well before trying to sound like a peace maker. |
Kyase:No, I am Yoruba. |
Kyase:Yes, he is simply saying your South East and Lagos is not up to half of Kaduna so don't keep referencing the insecurity in my state as a means to justify yours. Anyways, he is stupid because size shouldn't be a reason to justify failure. |
Kyase:He is taking shots at them with style. That's probably because igbos keep referencing the insecurity in Kaduna and other places in North whenever the Esn/unknown gun men issue is brought up. |
Lol this man and his family really enjoy taking shots at the Southeast and probably Lagos. |
Efewestern:Why did you avoid calling him Olu of Warri. ![]() |
Jlow2:1)Answer to first question The palace of Oba of Lagos is located at Idumota in Iga eledumere (iga a Ado/Edo name for house) This particular land was given to him by Aromire ( the Yorubas) chiefs or white cap chiefs who are the real land owners of Lagos island. Some of this White cap chiefs are oba on their right today like Onikoyi, Oniiru and Oba ikate of today 2) Answer to question two How bini ruled over the Aromire The bini during their conquest era arrived in Eko amongst the Awori and ilaje who were majorly fisherman and famers and wanted to force them to start paying tribute to the bini kingdom. However, rather than go to War with bini, the Aworis reached an agreement with bini to allow the kingdom establish a vessel state amongst them but they will be be allowed to keep their lands in return. The Bini agreed to this arrangement which gave birth to the red cap chiefs (the bini Chiefs) and white cap chiefs (the Aromire yoruba chiefs) Years later the white cap chiefs broke and started establishing there own kingdom again once the british empire arrived and Oba Lagos pledged allegiance to them and broke away from the bini kingdom. However, note that this arrangement was only limited to Lagos island. It was the military which declared ikeja, Epe, Ikorodu, ibeju as part of an extended version of Lagos once Nigeria got independence. Those kingdoms mentioned above are separate with different histories. |

einsteine:This is in Oyostate recently https://dailypost.ng/2019/12/05/kano-indigene-igbo-woman-make-makindes-new-appointment/ |
Jlow2:There was no Lagos when that oba was ruling. He ruled over Eko which originally described a small part of Lagos island not Lagos state under the current arrangement. And more fun fact, he ruled over Eko Aromire an Awori sub clan of Lagos which he met there. There were vast areas of Lagos state in which he has no power over then and today Ikorodu, Epe, ibeju, most parts of mainland which the Egbas and other Awori controlled, Badagry areas which the Egun and Awori controlled, the waters ways which ilaje controlled. |
kmcutez:There's nothing that stops Yorubas and probably Egun(Gun) people from dominating every office in Lagos because Lagos also have indigenous people just like your state of orgin. And you actually missed the point that those people were actually appointed by Yorubas to Foster unity in Lagos. There are other non Yorubas in Lagos that won elections and actually hold elective position. Meanwhile we have two igbos and an Hausa man holding important positions in Oyo state too. https://dailypost.ng/2019/12/05/kano-indigene-igbo-woman-make-makindes-new-appointment/ |
IamYorubaMuslim:but is their hatred simply directed to Yoruba that Muslims or Yoruba tribe in general? They also often use the term "Afonja to generalize Yorubas without actually generalizing it" It's much safer to hide behind a term to propagate hate against other groups. At least they will be able to hide their hatred behind a tag. In the end, you need to read beyond the Yoruba muslim tag and see that the hatred is simply for all Yorubas. E.g Awolowo, Obasanjo, Osibanjo, Yoruba pastors even Wole Soyinka etc. Who are all Christians |
IamYorubaMuslim:How can they sperate with a tactics that is based on ignorance? What is the difference between a Yoruba muslim and christian? The Yoruba man igbos hate the most is Awolowo and he is a Christian. They also hate Tinubu(a muslim) as much as they hate Osibanjo(christian) Namdi kanu once told them to stop attending Yoruba churches! So what exactly are you talking about? |
loveth360:There are Fulanis that never converted to muslims that still practice their native animalism as Fulani themselves were converted to muslims around Timbuktun around modern day Mali. And there those that practice christianity mainly in north eastern and middle belts. |
Op tbh This thread is very useless. What's the difference between a Yoruba muslim or christian? |
The earlier Nigerians realize that all these tribal groups are all fake, the better. Afenifere Ohanaze NGF All the organization claiming to represent ethnic nationalities in Nigeria are sponsored by the elites and politicians of those ethics nationalities. Thus, those groups only represent the views of the elites in those ethic nationalities which is often motivated by selfish intrest. The average Nigeria today only care about the ever increasing cost of living and how they will survive till the next day let alone 2023. |
LILTJAY:Those guys are basically trolling them tbh. It's easy because some igbos are too emotional when it comes to issues of Biafra. |
Redcrafton:They are mostly having a good laugh at your expense and their opinion is generally personal. i.e they are basically trolling you. That is why I said you only have the opinions of trolls and jesters as evidence of Yoruba interest in igboland. I guarantee you 9 of every 10 yoruba people you will met hardly know about the caos in the southeast or careless to even pay any reasonable attention to it. We do have our own problems to worry about. |
Redcrafton:@ emboldened There's not a single Yoruba son or daughter of repute that has shown any great concern about the caos currently going on in the southeast, not even the likes of FFK the palace clowns. You only have the opinions and banter of Internet trolls and jesters as the validation of an imaginary Yoruba interest in the Southeast. That is to show you that no Yoruba really care about the current situation in the Southeast, perhaps if isn't self inflicted many Yoruba people from various civil societies could have raised an eyebrow or two.. |
Redcrafton:facing Marauding Bandits from the North alone? Has any of the southeastern governor spoken openly against these Marauding Bandits as most of South Western or South Southern governors have spoken out against them? And how exactly is the caos going on the southeast helping Yorubas face the Marauding Bandits from the north? |
Why will any Yoruba care about what is going on in igboland? Igboland is the least important to Yoruba people's survival in current Nigeria. We still get crops from north central and North East South South is still very important because of crude oil money But what is the interest of the Yoruba tribe in South East? We have never even had the same political views or world outlook. As far as I am concerned, the South South region will suffer the most influx of igbo refugees should security totally break down in the southeast. |
