Where do Lagos land stand an end? The founder of Ikoyi migrated from Oyo state. Ibeju lekki is part of ijebu land. Tell me which part of Lagos State is not part of Yoruba land.

How does Lagos matter concerns someone that has to jump like 3-4 states before entering southwest? Does Yoruba and igbo have anything in common? Like sharing land or sea borders? So why is it that the only people being obsessed with whether Lagos belongs to Yoruba or a ago are the flat skulls? Does it even make sense to you? Who appointed the Igbos to speak on Lagos affairs?
The reason the real owners of Lagos aligns with Ndi Igbo during elections to help them rescue Lagos from Yoruba strangling hold.

The term Yoruba is a name for a political alliance of all minority groups in the West not a tribe, only Oyos and few others are Yoruba by tribe.

Lol. Any Igbo senator or rep in Lagos before you are even casting eyes all the way up to Governorship level? You lot and Fulanis are no different in covering the land of others.

While they base their expansionist agenda on land grabbing, violence and insurgency, the Igbos covet the land of others and want to take over complete ownership of it through gaining administrative and political power over others in their domain.

If it was very difficult for Igbos to gain ground in Lagos politics before it will be impossible now and in the future because everything Yorubas keep seeing from the other major ethnic groups (i.e Igbos, Hausa and Fulanis) continue to show us we have been naive and gullible 'one Nigeria' accomodators who put ourselves at risk by opening our land throughoutthe SW, and the opportunities they hosts, to those who hate us and do not mean well for us.

The game is up for Igbos. Like Remi Tinubu declared, "we no longer trust you Igbos again" . I want to see an Igbo win even ward chairman election in Lagos in future and we can talk then.

Bruv never let these online desperado fool you. They are envious of Yorubas and suffering inferiority complex against us.

I always focus on what is real on the ground and enforceable. The reality is that 99% of the political and administrative leadership of Lagos is in the hands of the Yorubas.

To that end any envious morasucker can say what they want online. We Yorubas will focus on reality on the ground. Long may their pain continue.
100% of the political and administrative leadership of Hausaland is in the hands of Fulanis.

Does it make Kano, Katsina, Sokoto (Gobir) Fulani land?

Don't mind Igbos. They are no different to Fulanis in that they both love to cast covetous beady eyes over the fertile/rich land and God-given endowment of others they lack.

They will both then plan hostile takeovers to get what they want though with different modus operandi. When Igbos see they cannot lay direct ancestral claims to Lagos they start the mischief of Lagos belonging to everyone on earth but Yorubas. Igbos can even tell you a lost tribe of Sudan or Gabon own Lagos and not Yorubas lol.

One of my best friend is Awori. He has a Yoruba first and last name and is totally Yoruba in origin, culture and identity yet Igbos alone would argue otherwise because they always want to profit through promoting division everywhere and setting camps against each other. It is their way historically. Pathetic though because they have never had success with those tactics and never will.

They came through sea bro, and Lagos original was an island. The Portuguese met two tribes then.
They camped there, they meant Aworis. The Idu Iganran sit the very first Oba of Lagos sat who of course is a Yoruba Man is owned by Aromire. Aromire is one of the Oloye Eko others are Elegushi, Oniru, Onikoyi, Oloto, Olumegbo, Onikoro etc. All this people are pure Yoruba 100% and there own their own domain in Lagos. The first Oba of Benin is Oranmiyan, his son Eweka (Owomika) started the Obaship dynasty the Benin empire, so he had some Yorubas from Ile Ife that migrated with him to the present day Edo state, so the first Oba of Lagos is even a Yoruba man. Before the coming of Oranmiyan into the land, those from Idu/Igodomigodo never even left their villages or even though of building a formidable kingdom it was Eweka the first that build the Benin empire the even extended to Ontisha Ado. So Binis does not have a single land in Lagos rather they camped their and traded with the Portugese. Even places like Lekki. Epe, Ikorodu are Ijebus land so Aworis and Ijebus who both are 100% Yoruba own Lagos.
Below is picture of Oba Adeniji of Lagos with the queen. He is introducing the Queen to the dejos, that is the chiefs and owners of Lagos.

I think it was a bad idea to have stopped teaching History in Nigerian Schools but sometimes I reconsider

Can you imagine the damage the ungrateful troublemakers would have done if they ever became History teachers

Everyday on this forum they wrestle and fight tooth and nail to twist ,rewrite, and damage the History of others they either envy or Covet their ancestral Lands while at the same time failing to present any coherent History of their own

It is now one appreciates the age long Yoruba Traditions of passing History from generation to generation and the Roles of the Royal Historians and Bards in the Obas Palaces together with the standard practice of all Chiefs being experts in their respective Kingdoms History.

What exactly was Ojukwu thinking?


That was the letter that Ojukwu wrote to Banjo in the Warfront at Ore that helped Banjo to see very clearly that Ojukwu was doing an Afonja on him

I have included the rest of Ojukwu’s letter so you can see the effrontery of the man with your own 2 eyes and his real reasons for invading Yorubaland.




https://biafranism..com/2016/07/top-secret-gen-odumegwu-ojukwus-letter.html?spref=pi
Gen. Odumegwu Ojukwu's Letter in 1967 To Col. Victor Banjo on the quest to liberate yoruba land from hausa and fulani occupation.

Gen. Odumegwu Ojukwu

22nd AUGUST 1967,
From: The Military Governor,
Republic of Biafra Enugu,
22nd August, 1967.

My dear Victor,

1. For some time now, you and I have been discussing the circumstances that have led to the current and inevitable disintegration of what was the Federation of Nigeria. We have been fully convinced that the aim of the Hausa/Fulani complex has ever been, and will ever remain, the total domination of every other part of what was known as the Federation of Nigeria.

It is impossible to forget that the crisis which led to the army takeover in January 1966, the coup of the Northern soldiers led by Gowon in July 1966, the wholesale and indiscriminate massacre of the people of what is now Biafra- and, to a less degree, the people of the Mid-West and West, including the Yorubas, were all the direct result of Hausa/Fulani attempt to subjugate and use as tools, the gallant people of Western Nigeria namely the Yorubas. We do not need to remind ourselves of the heavy losses in life and property suffered by the Yoruba people in their fight for justice and freedom during 1965.

2. Sharing our belief that the people of Yorubaland have a right to live a life of equality and self-respect and justice free of domination and dictatorship from any quarter, you have both identified with the cause of the Biafra struggle for survival and expressed your determination to see the people of Yorubaland freed from Hausa/Fulani domination. We, the people of Biafra, for our part are willing and have decided to give you and the people of Yorubaland every assistance to achieve your aim.

3. After clearing the whole question with my Executive Council, I, as the Commander in Chief of the Biafran Armed Forces, have decided to place at your disposal Biafran forces, for the liberation of Yorubaland on the following clear conditions:-


(i) You will have nothing to do with the Military Administrator in the Mid-West Territory during your sojourn there prior to your move to the West.
(ii) The willingness and preparedness of Biafra to assist any part of the former Federation of Nigeria wishing and willing to liberate itself from the Hausa/Fulani domination, does not in anyway whatever
imply any inclination on her part to compromise her sovereignty or preserve what remains of the defunct Federation of Nigeria. In other words, our sovereignty and break with Nigeria is irrevocable. Nothing must, therefore be said or done by you or any member of the Liberation Army to give a contrary impression.

(iii) Biafra is determined to maintain and safeguard her sovereignty and ensure that her integrity and safety are never again threatened.
(iv) Biafran troops will, after the liberation of the Yorubaland, remain in that territory only for as long as we in Biafra consider it necessary for the Yorubas to consolidate their position and sovereignty against any external threat.
(v) On the liberation of the Yorubaland, you will be appointed as the Military Governor of that territory.

(vi) The liberation of Western Nigeria will be a prelude to the liberation of all Yorubas up to the River Niger and the severance of all connections between the West and the North at Jebba.
(vii) During the period of Biafrans troops’ presence in your territory, all political measures, statements or decrees shall be subject to the approval, in writing by myself or on my authority.
(viii) Should our troops arrive and liberate Lagos, the government of the Republic of Biafra reserves the right to appoint a Military administrator for the territory. Such an Administrator will remain in office until a merger of that territory with Yorubaland is effected by Biafran troops.
(ix) As soon as possible after your appointment as the Military Governor of Western Nigeria and separation of that territory from Nigeria, you and I must meet to discuss:
(a) the duration of stay of Biafran troops in your territory;
(b) the areas and subjects of cooperation between the liberated sovereign states of Western Nigeria, or by what name it may call itself, and Biafra.

4. I do not need to remind you that Biafra regards all Yoruba as friends. As such everything should be done, to ensure the minimum force and loss of life are involved in achieving the objective of liberation.

5. It is essential, in order to avoid misunderstanding or confusion, that all subsequent requests for support be formally made to me by you in writing.

6. Will you please signify in writing, your acceptance of the above conditions so that you may leave for Western Nigeria and lead the army of liberation.

Yours very sincerely,
signed Lt. Col. Odumegwu Ojukwu,
Military Governor and Commander in Chief of Biafran Armed Forces.

Col. Victor Banjo

Interpretation: Yorubas can not take any Political or Legal decisions in Yorubaland including Lagos without Ojukwu first giving them Permission in writing


Ojukwu was a very very arrogant man .
That more than anything else was responsible for his Calamitous failures and downfall as a leader.
He didn’t even know where to start from..


So he wanted to be fully in Charge of dictating to Yorubas what to do in Yorubaland including Lagos ?


Very shameful isn’t it ?
