Lagos is completely enclosed in at all sides! by ogun state. check the map. IT is a Yoruba land without controversy
Re: Lagos State Is Not A Yoruba Land; Oseni Rufai Tells Lagosians by Iamgrey5(m):
The so called Journalist has been totally bias from day one.

He is Anti-Yoruba, Anti-APC, Anti-Tinubu.

He has never championed anything that is not remotely anti Yorubas or Anti Tinubu even though he claims to be an Activist, he only is an activist against Yorubas..

He has always taught that an Anti-Yoruba stance will make him noble because it puts him almost on a sainthood pedestal in the eyes of those that hate Yorubas.

Nonetheless, a day of reckoning is coming for him..

Oseni Rufai should first pause, look back at those who his current supporters have supported before and where they are today .

Their supports means anything oblivion

Not just enclosed.

Yoruba and Egun is the indigenous language of Lagos. It's even spoken in the palace of Eleko which eventually became Oba of Lagos when the portuguese arrived our shores.

Even the Oba of Lagos said it and he quoted from what Oba of Lagos said. Although to me it's Yorubas that owns Lagos

Why is the Oba bearing a Yoruba name Akin-olu not Osas or chukudi.

For your information, Oba of Lagos has no extensive land in Lagos island outside idumota given to him by the Aromire sub-clan of Awori..

The sons of Aromire are the Oba Elegushi, Onikoyi of today incase you don't know..

The only question on my mind right now is where is Oseni from? Is he a Yoruba Muslim like his Obidient brotherhood would call and regard him?

If yes, someone should help me tell him to "just dey play". Maybe only if he knows just all the hatred against him by the people he's supporting just because he's a Yoruba man and then a muslim maybe my guy for just rest.

Can the Oba of Lagos point to his large sway of Land he controls outside idumota..

At least he should be able to point to the land in Lagos that is not originally a Yoruba land in Lagos before you can ratify his words.

There is a difference between Lagos before creation of Lagos state and Lagos state after its creation. Lagos as a federal territory consists of Lagos Island and mainland up to Yaba, Surulere (stopped at Alhaji Masha end)and Apapa. Surulere ikate itire and part of lawanson belong to old west. Old Lagos had Apapa and Yaba industrial estates, whereas ikeja, ilupeju, Isolo industrial estates all belong to old western state. How can anyone in his right senses now says Lagos is not a yoruba land. Where do you consider those the creation of new Lagos state met in Mushin, Somolu, Agege and Ikeja? Stop the mischief.

I hate to do this but anyways, let me ask, aside from the emotional outpouring and the emotionally infested journalist can any educated, sane, and probably reasonable person beyond doubt, by law and facts what region Lagos is seated, where it is cited in the law that Lagos doesn't belong to the Yorubas, and or the southwest region?


Anyways, it is ok, anybody can say anything but the law must have stated this if it's indeed fact.

Keep quiet if you don't know history.
There should be an old man in your village that should tell you history.
Lagos is not a yoruba land. Dies the name lagos sound yoruba to you?
The name lagos was coined from a portuguese word la goos.
The indigenous owners of lagos are the binis/aworis. Every other person is either a lagosian by birth or a migrant.

So Lagos sound like a Nigerian language to you

However, I never knew, Somolu, Ikorodu, Epe, Ikoyi, Sango-tedo etc. The names of villages that eventually became Lagos State is in igbo language.

Tell the binis to point to their villages in Lagos outside the land given to them in idu-mota in the Land of Aromire.

Lagos is a land of the binis. Even your great oduduwa is from benin. Eko the you claim to be yours is of bini, the binis established it. Your grand Lagos by God's grace will be a refuse dump soon. Even Port harcourt is better than lagos to me.

An average Yoruba will even call an Edo or Akwaibomite an igbo.

So what exactly is our business with ikwere ?
