[quote author= post=89668085]Lagos port was built by Colonial masters, not Yorubas, Lagos port became a major slave port in the late 1700s and into the 1850s. Much of the human trafficking which occurred there was nominally illegal, and records from this time and place are not comprehensive. According to the Trans-Atlantic Slave Voyage Database, 308,800 were sold across the Atlantic from Lagos in 1776–1850. British and French traders did a large share of this business until 1807, when they were replaced by Portuguese and Spanish. By 1826–1850 the British Royal Navy was intervening significantly with Lagos slave exports.[/quote]Lol.... grin grin

We don hear. Focus on topic.

Lets focus abeg. Dont tunlrn this to Lagos issue.

The crux of the matter is, Ibo has no access to coast. Try anything and have Ijaw demolish your villages on the Abia border.

[quote author= post=89667928]Colonial masters built the port same as Port Harcourt port[/quote]Let me tell you that there was never a place called Enugu before Britain arrived. Never! The discovery of coal is what made Britain create Enugu. It was built as a mining town.

They needed to get the coal to Liverpool and Manchester, the hub of their steam and steel industries. So they needed a port in East. This is why they built a port in PortHarcourt and a rail line to Enugu from there to get coal from mines to the ships and sail to England.


See attach, this is from a Parliamentary Paper in London. They acknowledged the exiled King had a private "port" in Palma. When he returned from exile the colonial government took it over.

Who built that port? Was Kosoko an Iboman....a developerhuh

grin

[quote author= post=89667845]I asked for Port solely developed by state or any tribe in Nigeria that is functioning with FG, that's is the argument, and he is posting trash[/quote]I listed for you wharves that were built and operated successfully for cargo ahead of British seizing Lagos.

Trade with Yoruba hinterland and up country to Hausaland were facilitated by Lagos wharves. Ijebus were the toll keepers on the rivers and no one dared trade with Lagos without first paying Ijebu. Egbas were the middlemen that break bulk at the ports and retail to the interior. Sea and trade monopolies is what led to wars between Ijebu and Egba.

When Beecroft went to the palace his ship berthed at the Lagos wharf, from where he was taken to Palace.

Activities of road and bridge expansion took away remnants of the landmarks.

Lagos, Iddo and Palma wharves, independently built by Yoruba.

British expanded Lagos wharf and then built Apapa port.

Apapa port itself was a partnership. Anything and everything built or erected in Lagos by British was a partnership with the King and Chiefs of Lagos.

The treaty of 1851 is explicit on this partnership.

[quote author= post=89667816]Non of the ports was constructed by Lagos state or Yoruba people[/quote]Hahahahahaha... grin grin grin

The colonialists in partnership with Lagos signed a treaty in 1861....and it was done aboard a ship.

So if there were no ports or wharves, where did Beecroft and Bruce put their ship in 1861 when they invited Dosunmu aboard to sign treaty of Lagos?

Here is Iddo Wharf. In fact Lagos was nicknamed "Liverpool of West Africa".

Can you see the wharf?

[quote author= post=89667659]Which port in Lagos huh[/quote]Four of them

There was Iddo wharf. This was where the Benin camp berthed when they sailed to Lagos. Pre Colonial rule.

There was Lagos wharf and later port. Popularly called Quay side on Marina. Pre and during colonial.

There was Palma port. Kosoko relocated trade with Portuguese from Lagos Wharf to Palma.

There was Apapa port. During colonial.

Lastly coolTwo brothers killed by the same taxi driver, one year apart


In 1975, while riding a moped in Bermuda, a man was accidentally struck and killed by a taxi. One year later, this man’s bother was killed in the very same way. In fact, he was riding the very same moped. And to stretch the odds even further, he was struck by the very same taxi driven by the same driver – and even carrying the very same passenger!
Ok. This is stretching it.

kolaaderin:
Thinking out loud, Kwara state is always in news over the legitimacy of their region belonging to the southern Yorubas or to the northern Hausas. In reality, only Ilorin the capital city of the State is ruled by the title Emir whereas all other towns and small cities in the state has the Oba installed as the prominent rulers which in all honesty indicates the state is majorly a yoruba speaking state.
Since the state is in democratic dispensation likewise Nigeria, i will suggest the house of Assembly of the state to pass a bill and debate on the change of this Title to OBA and democratically agree on the outcome of their legislative competency. I m not from Ilorin, but I know 90% of Ilorin indigenous people are real Yorubas and could save some face in the future by doing what is right today for the sake of their coming generations.

Just thinking out loud ooo.
Politically, where is the boundary between North and South?

Thats the first battle, and its not a battle for KWARA House of Assembly to fight. Its for National Assembly to redefine a political boundary for North and South.

Redirect this request to NASS....

Kwara remain culturally Yoruba and geographically North pending redrawing of boundary.

As far the deposition of the Emir. There is a court records already that defined his domain. That court ruling should be used by the House of Assembly to effect jurisdiction. No need to create new wheel. A legal record exists that says certain jurisdictions are not in the Emirate.

While the SW and the SS are enjoying seaports and even constructing many more, this is all SE can do, they are relegated to 1 village riverport with a small warehouse and 2 forklifts, that's all.


Atlantic ko, Indian ocean ni..
Part of Azikiwe's legacy. Two cranes and an empty warehouse. This is what he should have developed while in power. He was instead struggling with Awo over rights to develop Yorubaland.

This Onitsha legacy will be inherited when Biafra becomes reality. Whenever that is....

Olu317:
How will they get the needed justice in Nigerian court of law with the type of Nigeria Judicial system ? The truth is that it is like a shadow chasing on this matter because no matter how they try, nothing concrete can happen through Britain subjugation and imposition of Cleric Man as a leader in Ilorin,who was under the Baloguns in 1830s until 1890s,with three who were full blooded Yoruba men and a Nupe/Hausa man as fourth Balogun and not even a Fulani Balogun existed. The Balogun Fulani of Ilorin is purely of a Yoruba lineage.


If you ask my opinion, on the Ilorin issue: It is not in Nigeria such justice will take place, unless we follow the path of founding a Yoruba nation which Professor Banji Akintoye is at the helm of Affair of all incorporated body that are championing the establishment of Odua nation.So, I don't expect much on this on NL except people throwing unnecessary insults, here and there. Beside, this issue need not be on NL in the first place.
I agree with you absolutely!

The political acceptance has been swinging back and forth depending on who is in power. The only fact that remains unchanged is the legal power. It has repeatedly been validated. In addition to oral history, written records accedes to it. Only the Emir in Ilorin is not conceeding.

The anti Emirate group need to think outside the box. They can outsmart and legally depose the Emir. Muhammad Lawal attempted it and was very close to success but his own people right there in Ilorin who prefer identity with fulani did him in.

Latinwo is no fulani, Saraki is no fulani, Fatahi is no fulani.....they only wish they were.

The Emir readily identifies those who bend backward in their ambition to be more fulani than fulani, and they give them power to oppress the anti fulani.

Yorubaland sustains Nigeria. When cut off North will shrink in power and influence. Even the Emir himself will be the first to dump his turban and ask Oyo for a crown.

Levant:
Yusuf Keketoma Sandi, Press Secretary of Sierra Leone's State House, on his Official Facebook page has denied report that the government of Sierra Leone appointed a Nigerian doctor to head Covid taskforce. The report has it that one Dr. Laoluwa Adejayan was appointed by the President of Sierra Leone on a monthly salary of $20,000 and that Sierra Leone President Bio had sent a message to his Nigerian counterpart to intimate him on the development, while praising the aforementioned Nigerian doctor.

OP,
You said he denied it on facebook. To prove, you gave the vanguard publication. You gave the nairaland thread. You asked who Yesufu is and gave link to his bio. You also gave a letter with the denial.

You are missing the connecting link....where is the facebook link to the denial?

Fact check is critical.

I commend the writer of article for his technical and logical presentation but I still have some misgivings in that such report could have been prepared and presented by involving Igbo maritime lawyers outside IPOB. We need inclusiveness. And it would reinforced credibility. Good article nonetheless.
The writer's grip to the sea is Imo river. Political expediency can rename the river tomorrow to a non-Ibo name. What are you going to grip then?

There are more than 40million Igbos world wide. Kanu cannot be the goal keeper, defender, midfielder and striker all at once. He has chosen a cause. You are a full fledge Igbo man. Pick up your own cause.

You want every enviable trait of leadership rolled into one in Kanu but you are wrong. Kanu is not the messiah. He must not necessarily lead Biafra, but he has the right nuisance strategy to keep all attention to himself while the so called elites do the brain work. He is the greatest weapon Igbo elites have to negotiate with the centre ,unfortunately we are not blessed with real elder statesmen as politicians. Majority of our political leaders are political contractors who have no business representing the Igbo nation but inadvertently leading us because the Nigerian structure is skewed to favour mediocrity in all spheres.

He has a job and he is doing it mightily. Are you doing your own job? Are our governors doing their own jobs? Are our Senators, clergy men,industry leaders doing theirs. Or are we all arm chair critics who are simply regurgitating the reservations of the same interest Kanu and indeed greater Igbo people do not wish to please. Choose a side!

This young man has not shot anyone dead before . He has not sent his members to massacre and cause trouble. All he has are his headphones and Internet access.
Kanu negotiate with which centerhuh

Who in center he go negotiate with, Buhari from Daura or Jubril from Sudan?

I guess Ministers are next in line to send letter of devotion.

After them traditional rulers will troop to Abuja and deliver their own devotion.

Then clergies will follow.

Guys, I stop calling myself Nigerian from now forward. Im Yoruba and African. It is a dishonor to be known as a Nigerian.
