Éko o ni bajé... So Lagos people still remember their history. I thought the history and culture of Lagos started with one Oba Ahmed Tinubu, the one who migrated to the area we call Lagos today in 17BC and established it. ..

I don't see anything on the logo representing the founder, CEO and board chairman of Lagos, oba Tinubu.

Agbegbaorogboye:
I can see a leaf under the keremesi. What leaf is that and what does it represent

That's the akoko leave. It is used for installation of kings in Yoruba land.

Good to know.

Never bothered to know this before now.

Thanks for sharing..

Even in the history of Eyo festival. It was an ijebu man that introduced it to honor a particular Lagos king and since then, it becomes tradition

It is true that Lagos and Ogun have almost the same Yoruba groups but the Aworis are more in Lagos than in Ogun

There origin predominantly from ondos & Ijebus , I mean the Aworis and the made lagos island badagry, epe their there bustop because they lives on water, part of the tribe mve to Benin Republic, ( yoruba tribes in Benin Republic called ajase)

Eko O ni Baje

The no man's land former capital of Nigeria..
No Yoruba man is from Lagos..
Their god tinubu is from osun.

Always proud to be OMO EKO (Lagos Boy)

The cowries /money signify Agberos in the state

plaindealer:
The state logo and insignias and the body and soul of the state are reflections of their culture, form, and being

They rule and govern their land

Their language is dominant

Their language is the permanent socio-cultural and entertainment medium

Their roads, streets and institutions are named after them and their heroes

They reformulate their own ideas, rules, and laws and they develop their own land

...but some nnewi rif raf ipobs and ESN village jihadi ter ;Drorists are shouting no man land.


Awon asinwin..

Jogs1900:
No doubt about Lagos belonging to Yorubas...The Egbas, Ijebus and the Aworis are the owners of Lagos state and they are predominantly in Ogun state... Thats why there is no much difference between Lagos and Ogun state in terms of Culture and traditions.

There are no egbas in lagos. Maybe you meant the egun people of badagry.

AfonjaConehead:
Why did you not also explain that mines skull there nah,haba mana?!

Btw,don't be ashamed,tell us,which state are you really from?

Stop projecting your stupidity online, imagine an adult’s write up. Tomorrow, you’ll say they hate you people whereas it’s your mentality which sells you out people don’t like. Tueh

The designer no get sense?
So him no fit put ewedu leave there na palm trees?
Haaaa who do leg-us this thing

True no Egbas in Lagos...no Egbas but there are ilajes predominantly in Ondo state that are indigenous to Lagos state... Instead of some people to learn from what we are posting, they are throwing tantrums...They should continue.
Lagos is the pride of the Yorubas in Nigeria,Benin republic, Brazil etc..If the whites were not gaining from Lagos , they won't have made it the capital of the country at that time.

leisuretym:
Are you alright? We all know Lagos belong to the Yorubas , that’s why we are trying to buy all their land and chase them to Ogun and ogbomosho , we have bought everywhere in Lekki , Festac and Ojoo, you now pay rent to us, our next target is ikeja GRA and Epe

continue to deceive yourself Osuu, you ibos are so delusi0nal. Many of your poverty-stricken brothers are charged in courts because they can't afford to pay rent.

Una too the lie for this country

You want to know more about what makes the Lagos State logo?

After yoruba na still yoruba.

Oh really?
Do you even understand the meaning of ABULE EGBA?
Some of you are ignorant to the core.

Cheii

You left out chains and shackles from the logo to depict the bondage the state is in under the god father Bola

actually, the egbas that are in Lagos came from Ogun In 1867, there was tension between the Christian community and adherents of the traditional religion in Abeokuta, so when some European missionaries from Abeokuta were departing, the native Christian converts - fearing that the dominant traditionalists would descend on them in the absence of their European protectors, begged that they take them along to Lagos. on getting to Lagos the then oba of Lagos refuses to give them land to stay on but suggests that they ask his brother the Oloto of Oto. The Oloto agreed and gave them land from oyingbo to somewhere just before yaba began. Here they build st. jude's church and school

Came? Did I read that right, came? Do you know the amount of Ijebu's and Egba's land or Ogun State that was annexed to Lagos state?

Anyway, glad that your story no get source sha.

The Olodo above that I quoted in the first couldn't even explain the meaning of EbuLe Egba

totit:

Stfu You're wrong

So because it's called abule egba. You think it's an egba land abi?

That means okomaiko belongs to igbo and all places called sabo in lagos belongs to hausa people.

Ebule

You are still yet to tell us the history behind it. Prof. Ode

I hope the people that are fond of calling Lagos a "no man's land" must have learnt somethings from the logo?... Hope they know it was not formulated by the strangers that just wanted to turn themselves into owners of the land by all means? If I may ask them, can they even identify ewe akoko any where they see it? Moreover, if they need to carve as they've been agitating then, will they take Lagos along?

Okoko or Sabo and all other ones you mentioned cant be found in any history because are either named after a tribe or ethnic.

Anyways, Glad to know that you have no defense after all.
When a failure failed and has nothing to prove he resorts to insulting because he's hopeless.

I am here for historians like me and fellow with home training not some louts

Dude,who started the insult. You called me olodo first. I told you to enlighten instead of doing so, you started ranting. I guess you've not seen a source to backup your made up shit.

FYI, I'm a bonafide lagos boy, moreover I've a book on the history and politics of lagos and I've never come across this gibberish claim

Insult? Nope, I was only angry that you using a Yoruba I.D, a proud Yoruba at that will not under the history behind Ebule Egba.

Now, for your info, Alagbado, Imeran, Abule Egba, and the environs are part and parcel of old Ogun state before they were annexed into today's Lagos same goes for Epe and some parts of Lagos island.
