truthhurtsnaira: North kicked against independence because they taught it wouldn't favor them. Midwest left peacefully because they wanted to control their revenue.. meanwhile Igbos didn't let the SS go peacefully. Western region corruption built the first University, the first t.v station, the first skyscraper, first region to offer free education e.t.c. If that's corruption then I want more of it. What did the saint south East region build with their holiness South East region with their holiness went on a killing spree killing politicians and leaders of other regions in order to take over the other regions. If that's not corruption to you then you're worse than the people you accuse of corruption. 2 Likes 1 Share |

1Sharon: My brain and the fact that the capital was exclusively for Whyte people and returned slaves at that point in time. Most of the descendants of "returned slaves" are still doing very well and that's due to generational wealth from the empowerment the British gave them and a lot of them have been at the corridors of Yoruba politics and government. |

class0247: Stop rewriting history with fake news and fake history. Lagos was a farm and commercial point of the Oyo Empire and was occupied by Yoruba warriors and it extended into benin republic and Togo. Yorubaland and Yoruba people does not end in Nigeria or Lagos, it ends in Togo and some parts of Ghana. When the Portuguese came they traded with Yorubas in the places now called Lagos and Porto Novo. Lagos and Porto Novo used to be one whole Yoruba farm and commercial point. 2 Likes 1 Share |

dalass:Indeed. Just yesterday on an NL thread that was created by @plaindealer, I finally saw the screenshots of the anti-Yoruba (and very careless pro-biafra) Twitter posts Gbadebo made in the past and he is indeed NOT fit to be the potential Governor of Lagos State. Gbadebo deleted the posts when he was called out for making those irresponsible posts, and the dude cannot even fluently speak Yoruba which is his father's language, and he needs the Yoruba language to communicate to the over 100 Obas in the different towns in Lagos State, High Chiefs, and to the Lagos indigenes and residents on the street level. The internet truly never forgets. Period. 1 Like 1 Share |

LegendHero:Saying something that is reasonable about YORUBAS is different from abusing the YORUBAS, i do not know what he said in the past because i haven't been following him nor have i heard much about him before now, the only leaders/politicians i have known to always despise thier people are leaders/politicians from the SOUTHEAST, the current governor of Anambra state' CHARLES SOLUDO is a good example, IMO STATE governor' HOPELESS UZODIMMA is another example, JOE IGBOKWE too and many others, my argument is what did the guy say about YORUBAS? did he say something abusive to the YORUBAS or just disagreement on certain issues with some YORUBAS, let us all be guided pls, And pls, LAGOS belongs to LAGOSIANS which are YORUBA by tribe, let no one say' LAGOS is no man's land, that's a wrong statement. LAGOS na YORUBA land. |

If I stayed and contributed to the development of other people's State or Nation, it was possible because the indigenous people were loving and accommodating; they provided a good environment for me to thrive in, so, I do not have any reason to be boastful about my contribution. I wouldn't have been able to contribute nothing if the indigenes were hostile. #humilityiskey #everylandbelongstosomepeople. #nomanslandisanillusion #copied |

The dummy himself is the champion of tribalism. But what does he know? What does any Nigerian know? They're not encouraged to know anything but the worship of money and fame. Anyone that talks about people in terms of ethnic classification is a dumb tribalist. Anyone who apportions land ownership to people by tribal ethnic classification is a tribalist. But of course that's the only way it is intelligible to the Nigerian. That's why they're a backward prople. Any fool can come from Osun state and start saying he owns Lagos because he is classed as Yoruba and the one whose great great grandparents originally came from Niger state or Imo state and all subsequent generations were born and raised in Lagos is expected to see himself as "outsider". If that's not the height of backwardness, I don't know what is. Not even adding that the Egun people whose language cannot be understood by Yoruba people are indigenous to Lagos state ONLY, unlike the other Yoruba spread all over Western Nigeria. If Yul Edochie was born and raised elsewhere and later came to Lagos and felt 'welcome', that's his own problem. Millions of us are not in that category. Useless country, useless people. |

Everlastingson: Do you know that we have Igbo in the Lagos State House of Assembly. We have Igbo in the Lagos Cabinet as a Commissioner. No single Yoruba person in all the 5 South East states not even a Special Assistant to the Governor. We have many Igbo that we know in Lagos, Oyo and even Ondo civil service. No single Yoruba in all the South East civil service. University of Nigeria Nsuka, UNN has never produced Yoruba Students Union President. Obafemi Awolowo University, University of Ibadan, University of Lagos and even Lagos University have produced Igbo as students Union President. Igbo had been Vice Chancellor at UI and UNILAG. Yoruba can never and has never been VC in any Igbo University, not even Head of Department. Ondo State Medical University under Olusegun Mimiko appointed an Igboman ad Vice Chancellor. Nnamdi Azikiwe even wanted to be Prime Minister over Yorubaland but Awolowo never had that aspiration and you think it is normal? That a tiger moves slowly is not a sign of cowardice. Can Igbo stand a Yoruba person saying Onitsha, Owerri or Enugu Ukwu is no man's land? The Obi of Onitsha once said he came from Ile Ife, but no Yorubaman has ever lay claim to owning Onitsha Alaba market, several square kilometer of land was given to Igbo by Jakande, but no Yorubaman can own one plot of land in Igboland. MKO Abiola with all his money never got any plot of land. Across Yorubaland who will find streets and closes named after Igbo, you can't find that in Igboland. But some of your people claim Lagos "Na no man's land" Each election year, you raise Gubernatorial aspirants in Yoruba territories and you even nod your people on not that you have a better programme but that Igbo should take over Lagos? When Ojukwu started the war his target was Ore and Lagos? Why? Have you read history at all? Akintola and many Yoruba were killed during Kaduna Nźeogwu coup but no single Igbo was killed? Your lord, Nnandi Kanu issued radio life broadcast asking Igbo to attack Tinubu and Sanwo Olu during ENDSARs protests. He said they should attack all Yoruba Governors, Dr Fayemi, Akeredolu etc. The records are there. He even urged them to attack Yoruba police stations and cart away arms? He said Oyingbo is owned by Igbo eventhough Yoruba didn't share any boundary with Igbo people. Some of you even say you own Ile Ife. You deliberately confuse. UGBO (Ilaje) with IGBO Your statement here has shown that you are another Kanu in disguise. You are an ìngrate. You don't appreciate your kindhearted hosts. What you have done is to stir hate and avarice. We need to tell you some Home truths about your own history which you arrogantly but stupidly hate to admit Please be careful not to dip your hands too dip into the lungs of your host so that it will not be bitten mercilessly to your eternal regret.

truthhurtsnaira: Stop saying rubbish and rewriting history with false and nonsense info. The Oba of Benin had an intermediary in Lagos who used to communicate with the Yorubas ( who was later called the Oba of a particular section of Lagos). he was a person who traded with the indigenous Yoruba and more of an intermediary or secretary or diplomat of the Oba of benin and if the Yorubas wanted to do business with the Oba of benin he was the intermediary they will use... Lagos was called a farm ( Oko ) and also part of Ogun then the Portuguese came and called the part of Ogun they traded with Lagos.. and it was governed by warring Yoruba tribes that's why the Oba of Benin intermediary called it war camp ( eko ).. over time the intermediary stopped been a Bini indigene and Yorubas took over the post and changed it to Oba of Lagos.. 1 Like |

Sewgon79: Where does the name Oba originated from? Who is Ado? Why are all the areas and street in the Lagos island named in Benin? Why were homage sent to Benin? The slaves that returned from Lagos, where they all Yoruba? They were Igbos, Hausa, ijaws etc. Can you write history of Lagos without the returned slaves? Have you ever wondered why Lagos is termed no man land? Everybody immigrated to Lagos and it was supervised and rule under the government of the Benin warriors |
