We gave you your independence..
Biafrans fought and worked hard more than any group to rescue this country from the imperialistic stranglehold of the colonial British, only for you brood of "suffering and smiling" serfs to go and invite the same British over, less than a decade after flag independence, to help you subjugate the most vibrant group in the whole of black Africa...
After trillions earned post Biafra Nigeria war.., look at your beuriful Nigeria..
Igbos made Nigeria, not the other way round..

Certainly you are roving mad . Igbos give who independence? You Ibos that' Our uncle Àjàyí Crowther came to you at Onitsha qnd met you starving idle, naked and some dressed in filthiness.
Ajayi Crowther met the Ibos starving and he taught them sustainable agricultural practices that saved the form starvation and reduced thair tendencies to cannibalise.see attached from a page of one of the books Ajayi Crowther wrote about you Ibos.
The title is CHARGES ON THE BANK OF THE RIVER NIGER page 14

Nothing supposed concern Biafrans with Nigeria's constitution and justice system.

I just have to excuse your ignorance, because clearly, you were either failed by the Nigerian education system or you’ve chosen tribal bias over historical fact.

First of all, Lagos was Nigeria’s capital and a federal territory belonging to all Nigerians until it was moved to Abuja in 1991 by Babangida. As a former FCT, Lagos attracted people from across the country and beyond, all contributing to its growth and development. The ports, the commerce, the industries built not by any one ethnic group alone, but by Nigerians of diverse backgrounds working side by side.

You speak of Yorùbá wealth building Lagos like Lagos was a farmstead passed down by your ancestors. Lagos position as a colonial and economic hub predated oil, and its growth was accelerated by federal presence and investment, not some hidden treasure from “Yoruba hinterlands.” Do your research don’t just echo what tribal propagandists feed you.

And this idea that a surname in Yoruba land is a flex is exactly why Nigeria continues to struggle with unity. A name is not a deed. A tribe is not a title of ownership. Your ancestors didn’t build Lagos in isolation. It was built by laborers, traders, civil servants, port workers, soldiers, artisans, Aworis who are the indigenous Lagosians, Hausas, Igbos, Itsekiri, Nupe, Efik, and yes, Yoruba not Nairaland tribal agbadorians claiming inheritance rights based on last names.

Being loud doesn’t make you right. It just makes you sound insecure.

Kf the anus has a voce box, I would definitely day you said all these from ur Anus. Firstly the part of Lagos Island which was the Capital of nogeria till 1991 was actually named EKO bu the Yorùbá groups that are the owners and forst settlers on that Island used as a farm settlement. Eko is a variation of the Yorùbá phrase EKO meaning FARM, PLANTATION. EREKO (meaning (FARMSTEAD) is a derivative od the root word Eko
OKO, EKO, IKO are all Yorùbá words with same meaning which is farm. IKOrodu is actually ODU LEAF FARM. IKO-ata in Onisiwo Island means PEPPER FARM. EKO-EFUN in Olukunmi literally means CHALK FARM. It is a quarry where white native chalks are mined. Lagos Island was actually a farming and fishing settlement of the Awori sub group of the Yorùbá ethnic nation.
Lagos as a state was created in 1967 from many Yoruba communities and lands that was part of the Western Region developed with cocoa wealth from the hinterlands of the Yorùbá People.
Abuja is the current capital for 34 years now. Lokoja was once the colonial capital and seat of powerof the Northern and southern protectors. Calabar was once the Capital of the Southern Protectorate. Enigu was the Capital of the Old Eastern region and the South Central state. Karuna was the capital if the Northern region. GO AND CLAIM THOSE LANDS TOO.
1n 1921, there was a judgement in the privy council in London (the UK highest or rather supreme court) in the case of Chief Amodu Tijani Oluwa vs Secretary of the colonies (1921) thatLagos Land belongs to the Native Yorùbás and their families, chiefs and traditional rulers. That the treaty ceding Lagos to the British was just for administrative purposes and does not confer or transfer ownership to the British who lack the power to allocate such lands to a third party and that Chief Oluwa be compensated for the use of any part of his land in Apapa. Land allocation is entrenched in the local native laws and customs. of the native Yorubas.
If the British in their own courts cannot own Lagos, how come some uncultured Osu from the evil forests of Ohafia will lay claim to Lagos Island or any part of Lagos state.
As an Ìjèbú Rẹmo descendant, From Remo North in Ogun state to Ikorodu in Lagos is Rẹmọ land. Ibẹju and Epe in Lagos is Ìjèbú land that covers further than Ijebu Ode in Ogun state. Some Ìlájé are indigenes of Epe too. The Aworis Own Eko, Vi, Ajah to Apapa, down to Badagry with the Egun Indigenes who are their customary tenants in Badagry. The Aworis also extends to Lusada Ado Odo, Otta in Ogun state. The Egbas own a large part Alimosho with the Aworis and some Oyo settlers. Egba land extends to Abeokuta and beyond.
Awolowo's AG build the Industrial estates on Apapa, Ikeja, Ilupeju Mushin, Matori and Ladilo. They built the Lagos Airport before federal take over. The Lagos port was developed with Western region's money. The cocoa board building iin Apapa is a testament.
LASG built the BRT transposit system, LAGRIDE, BLUE and RED LINE RAILS, The LEKKI FREE TRADE ZONE, LEKKI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, LEKKI DEEP-SEA PORT with foreign partners, EKO ATLANTIC, The schools, roads and general hospitals, WHICH ONE IBOS BUILT FOR US FOR LAGOS?
WETIN IBOS BUILD? 2 by 4 shops, houses for canals and drainage paths, unapproved shops?
You leeches should go and hold your Ghost workers governors responsible and stop doing long throat on another's already developed land.
Sambisa Forest dey there free of charge if you want development.
Lagos amd Yorùbá land was built by the sweat, toil, efforts and developmental foresights of our fathers. Lagos was developed when your fathers and mothers were still living in trees. And they were being flogged to not come to the markets without clothes.

Nonexisting1:
Egypt was once the destination of the world but now, it is 'another used to be'. Paris has rested after it trended for decades. Dubai is reigning now, its time too shall pass. Coming down here, Calabar was once the beautiful bride but now e done rest. I will stop here for now. Everything that goes up must surely come down but the manner with which it comes down determines its future. We shall see.

If you are waiting for Lagos to come down because you are not allowed to do as you please wit your unruly cavemen behaviours, you go wait tire.

Ofunaofu:
When I see comments like this, I genuinely regret and wonder where some of you crawl out from. Lagos is telling who to ‘do their worst’? You beat your chest and, yet your family doesn’t even own a plot the size of a Keke parking spot in Lagos. Lagos was built by sweat, sacrifice, and the hands of people from all over Nigeria and beyond. Some of you only stumbled into Lagos yesterday, clinging to a Yoruba surname like it’s a deed of ownership, shouting entitlement as if history started with you. Calm down being loud doesn’t make you right, it just makes you noisy.

Point of correction, Lagos and indeed all Yorùbá land was built by the sweat, toil and foresight of our forefathers. Coxoa wealth from the Yorùbá hintherlands was used to build the infrastructure upon which the wealth of Lagos was built.
Our fathers built this Lagos, not yours.You cannot give what you don't have yourself in your place.
As a Yorùbá in Yoruba land, yes the YORÙBÁ SURNAME is more tuan a deed of title. It os a big flex.

Emperor wike AND Balablue Tinubu



won




mighty power at work

Sim Fubara should be thankful that the state of emergency was imposed. by President Tinubu.
There were solid grounds for his impeachment and he is at a disadvantage as the numbers are against him.

A suspended governor is better than an impeached governor.

Educative 👍🏼. I know like 45%

RollinTNDA:
They say it's one man that developed Lagos
Meanwhile it's the Portuguese and British that developed Lagos.

Even the name Lagos is a Portuguese word for Lagoon. To show you the Portuguese and British slave traders first meet Lagos as a lagoon. Hence the name Lagos..

Your are right 👍🏼, very correct. The British and Frederick Lugard came to Nigeria and met everywhere covered in water from the River Niger, hence they named the country Nigeria. Oponu.

If them no want you for dem country, leave and come home.
