Whoever the Speech Writer of Jakande was, she or he was just quoting several attempts to usurp EKO-ILE, From the day of Portugal LAGOS to British and now the last comers accommodated and tolerated in Lagos in the 20th Century.

Go and ask about Ojora Family, they would fight for 100 year until they eventually win. Go find out about their court cases.

This obsession with Lagos and Obi Wake Up Call has sent tolerance ofIgbo in Lagos back a hundred years.

In 1921, Amodu Tijani also known as Chief Oluwa of Lagos along with Nigerian nationalist Herbert Macaulay took British colonialists to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council (JCPC) in London over a case of stolen land.

The Yoruba chief charged that the British had no authority to take control over indigenous Nigerian lands. Thus, he requested that the ownership of the land returned to Nigeria and that the rightful owners be thoroughly compensated.

399 Amodu Tijani Appellant; v. The Secretary, Southern Nigeria Respondent. Privy Council
PC
Viscount Haldane, Lord Atkinson, and Lord Phillimore.
1921 July 11.
On Appeal from the Supreme Court of Nigeria (Southern Province).
Nigeria--Lagos--Native Tenure of Land--White Cap Chiefs--Communal Land-- Acquisition of Land by Government--Compensation--Public Lands Ordinance, 1903 (No. 5 of 1903, Lagos).
The radical title to land held by the White Cap Chiefs of Lagos is in the Crown, but a full usufructuary title vests in a chief on behalf of the community of which he is the head. That usufructuary title was not affected by the cession to the British Crown in 1861; the system of Crown grants must be regarded as having been introduced mainly, if not exclusively, for conveyancing purposes.
Upon the land held by a White Cap Chief being acquired for public purposes under the Public Lands Ordinance, 1903, the compensation is payable on the footing that the chief is transferring the land in full ownership (except so far as it is unoccupied); the compensation is to be distributed among the members of the community of which he is Chief according to the procedure provided by the Ordinance.
Observations with regard to the native tenure of land in West Africa, and as to "stool" lands.
Judgment of the Supreme Court reversed.
APPEAL by special leave from a judgment of the Supreme Court of Nigeria, Southern Province (January 4, 1918), affirming the judgment of Speed C.J.
The appellant was one of the Idejo White Cap Chiefs of Lagos. By a notice dated November 12, 1913, certain lands situated at Apapa were acquired by the Government of the colony under the Public Lands Ordinance (No. 5 of 1903) for public purposes. The appellant as head chief of the Oluwa family claimed compensation on the basis of ownership of the lands. On a summons taken out by the appellant under the Ordinance above named Speed C.J. held that the appellant was entitled to compensation on the basis of his having merely a right of control and management, not on the basis of absolute ownership. That decision was affirmed by*400 the full Court (Speed C.J. and Ross, Webber, and Pennington JJ.)
The material facts appear from the judgment of the Judicial Committee.
Special leave to appeal was granted on June 25, 1918, leave being reserved to the respondent to object at the hearing of the appeal that there was no jurisdiction to grant leave to appeal.
1921. June 6, 7, 9, 21. Hon. Sir William Finlay K.C. and J. A. Johnston for the appellant. Upjohn K.C. and Vernon for the respondent.
In the course of the argument reference was made to Attorney-General of Southern Nigeria v. Holt , both in the Supreme Court [FN1] and on appeal to the Board [FN2]; Oduntan Onisiwo v. Attorney-General of Southern Nigeria [FN3]; to the following unreported decisions in the colony, Callamand v. Vaughan (1878), Ajon v. Efunde(1892), Ohuntan's Case (1908), Taiwo v. Odunsi Sarumi (1913); and to Secretary of State v. Kamachee Boye Sahaba [FN4] and Durga Prashad Singh v. Tribeni Sinyh.
