AlexBells: Lagos is the ancestral home of the Aworis, one of the groups that make up the Yoruba pool. It was a backwater of sorts until the coming of the British who built ports there and connected it by rail and road to the hinterland to move resources for export back by ship. The amalgamation of Nigeria and the construction of infrastructure by the British in the 19th century turned Lagos into a trading hub attracting Lebanese, Ijaws, Nupe, Hausa, Igbo, Syrians, Greek etc This multicultural flavour is responsible for the expression - No Man's Land. |

AlexBells: This your argument is lame... Are Yoruba's claiming native city of Warri because some Yoruba's are native there? |

nku5:This is about the most logical explanation I got not some sentimental approach, but honestly is there any historic connection between Benin and Lagos, for we Igbos we are visitors and legal occupants and wish to remain so but we cant speak for every party |

okigbojihad:The entirety of Lagos belongs to the Aworis, one of the over 30 subgroup of the Yorubas, anyone with a genuine interest in the history of Lagos knows this, but dimwitted mischievous clowns like the OP are only interested in propagating mindless rhetorics, just like slaves coveting the luxury and riches of their masters. 3 Likes |

Monogamy:South West does not share border with AlaIgbo But Yorubaland shares border with AlaIgbo so deal with it, I don't know your South West, I know Yoruba people |

Re: This Is Why Lagos Is No Man's Land: The Hand Of The Empire by AlexBells(m): 3:37pm On Mar 20, 2021 |
Monogamy:Lol no be only disappointed, you are here making it more profound that Lagos is no man's land no logical reason given but attacking someone for asking to know I bet the Benin will have more logical backing then it becomes Benin Kingdom territory, you are wasting your fight, Igbos have no interest in seizing Lagos but we need to know in clear terms whose land is Lagos so that we may stop calling her no man's land since e dey pain some people when Lagos is referred to as no man's land lol |

Monogamy:Cry baby so na likes and share is your problem lol, I can't even count the amounts of likes I get from nairaland in a day, even stupid people use the like button so dont count on it, even at that you dont have more like than anyone but far from that, if people voted for the current government I don't see any reason why likes are a measure of intelligence. Fool like foolish stuff, don't be like that, your likes does not ascribe sensibility |
