The pictures above violates rule 17 of Nairaland.

Has rule 17 has been repealed?

What does it say?

It no longer appears in the "constitution."

Democracy sometimes can be very funny. 341 people ultimately decided the outcome of the election of over 1m participants and made the choice of over 500k people irrelevant. Lol. Congratulations are in order for Gov. Aminu Waziri Tambuwal. You are truly loved by your people

Words on marble!

This one? Unfortunately most of the links to the pictures are broken, but I can try and restore them when I get home.

That's the one.

The picture of the tram is one I cannot forget.

Please restore the pictures.

I skimmed through the thread just now.

I couldn't help laughing as I read about:

1. Jarus story about his family patriarch whose bicycle was stolen in 1945

2. The post about the person who had her dress soiled with pepper on a molue

3. The father of the late FRA Williams who rode the trains daily just for the fun of it.

Great thread!

The odd and even number concept was adopted to reduce vehicular movement in the seventies. Odd-number vehicles could ply the major roads on particular days and even-number cars on the other days. Ojuelegba and Yaba were two major bottlenecks in those days. Fela's song Ojuelegba , was about the regular confusion at the place. Whenever we were going to school and climbed the overhead bridge at Jibowu (from where we could clearly see the traffic situation at Yaba), my dad would remark Yaba O wo loni o! - meaning Yaba is messed up today.

In those days, people such as my parents had to have two cars -one even and the other odd numbered. My dad still advises me today to ensure that my cars are evenly spread between odd and even - just in case the number regime returns!

I just checked the date of this post and realised that my dad died just six weeks after the post was made.

I still miss you dad.

A good time to search for my "History of transportation in Lagos" write-up. Hope I can still find it.

Someone liked my post from 2012 on this thread today.

That prompted me to read the whole thread again

One of the first people I took a liking to on Nairaland was someone who wrote and maintained a very detailed thread on transportation in Lagos (or Nigeria).

At the time, I paid no attention to the name of the person.

Naptu2, are you you the one?

If yes, please post the link to that thread here.

You did a wonderful job then just as you are doing now.

Only better!

jblaqq and Jaymichael, Tijuana Taxi is another of Herb Alpert's pieces used on some radio programmes in those days:

It’s a clean sweep in the south west with the exception of Oyo State. Oyo’s case is very similar to Kano - it’s the people against the governor. Hopefully, lessons will be learnt.

Interestingly, the governors of the two states are inlaws!

Not only from interland

The Bini monarch in Lagos migrated all the way from Bini to Lagos and met nearly three different Yoruba clans there, yet you are making it seem like they appeared from the Sky. They were migrants like the ibos of today.

FYI, Ijebus were the ones who founded Epe, Ikorodu and some parts of ibeju. The locals in some of those areas still speak the ijebu language. So I wonder where they must have migrated from.


Asides that, the op clearly tried to fool himself with an old data that is no longer useful and you clearly tried to support it until you were busted.

This will be my last post on this thread.

My points are:
1. The Yoruba immigrants referred to in the statistics provided by the OP were Yorubas not indigenous to the geographical location recognised as Lagos at time. I have provided proof that the OP is wrong. How can anyone say I am supporting the OP?

2. Kagawa10, On the issue of Ikorodu, I never said the Binis started or own Ikorodu. I referred to their earliest interaction with what is considered present day Lagos, outside of Lagos Island. Go and read my posts again.

I am not sure but it seems the issue here is one of people trying to dogmatically defend their jaundiced opinions or one of poor comprehension.

Kagawa10:


It was cited that the Bini came to dwell among the indigenous people of Ikorodu. So what nonsense are you then spewing? You're only fooling yourself, not me

What exactly is your point?

Kagawa10:


See foolishness. No be only olisa family. Lol. Lisa is a Yoruba chieftaincy. We have one in Ondo, Ileoluji and Ilaje. Does that mean they are also Bini? You're mad

Read this

"Soon after, some large contingent of Benin migrants came by land through Iki in Ogun state (where almost the whole land belongs to the Olisa family of Ikorodu) to the area now known as Ikorodu.


This group of Benin people was led by a wealthy and powerful man called Eregbouwa (now called Rebugbawa in Ikorodu) from the ancient royal family of Oliha of Benin City. In Benin language, Ere means king and Uwa means peace and prosperity, hence Eregbuwa mean king of peace and prosperity. The Benin people settled down amicably with the children of Akarigbo and the farm started to grow into a large settlement. This was about 1630. The institution of Obaship was conceded to the line of Akarigbo while the institution of Olisaship was conceded to the Benin settlers. In effect the Oba became the reigning monarch while the Olisa became the Kingmaker and the prima minister of the city-state."

This is from the horse's mouth as they say:

http://www.ikoroduoga.net/index.php/history

You do realise that the proximity of Benin to the Ondos, Ile Olujis, Ilajes and even Owos would cause some cultural similarities, don't you?

Iamgrey5:
Sir

What of ibeju?

And frankly speaking, Are they not part of Lagos today sir


Why then did you claim they migrated to Lagos state? when they ijebus are part and parcel of Lagos today.

I know the history and I have seen the Map before

The Ijebus of Ikorodu, Epe and Ibeju migrated from the Ijebu hinterland over time but those areas were not part of Lagos at the time the OP referred to.

After the creation of Lagos State in 1967, those places became part of Lagos so the Ijebus indigenous to those places at the time of creation of the state are indigenous Lagosians now.

On an interesting side note, I have heard people debate about the earliest nteractions of the Binis with Lagos.

Many do not know that the Binis had interacted with the Ijebus of Ikorodu for years before the Europeans arrived.

As a matter of fact, the Lisa family in Ikorodu have their roots in the Olisas of Benin.

@ emboldened


Read the history of Lagos

If you are referring to Ikorodu and Epe, then note that these places were technically not part of Lagos at the time of the statistics.

These areas were eventually administered by the government of the Western Region (established in 1952) through the Ikorodu-Epe Joint Administration (Ikeja).


Table below shows the breakdown of the population of Lagos in 1930 by location.

The map shows Lagos in the 1950s.

Source of table and map:

https://books.openedition.org/ifra/828


I suggest the OP and others who share his/her opinion read @ the link.

A section of it reads:


"From the colonial period, the city of Lagos had expanded remarkably as its population increased, particularly with the influx of Yoruba and non-Yoruba (Igbo, Izon, Edo, Hausa etc.) from the late 1930s."

googi:
Is it lack of intelligence, intuition or illiteracy?

Apparently, some people cannot simple statistics.

How can YORUBA be immigrants on their land of origin?

How many Hausa in Sokoto or Igbo in Aguleri were immigrants on their own land before 1800?

A beg make una use una brain small.

Better still if the total non-Yoruba we're 20%, who were the 80%?

Absolutely correct.

Yoruba immigrants means Yoruba non-indigenes who migrated to Lagos.

E.g. Egbas, Oyos, Ijebus, Ijesas, etc.
