a4cube:
So one of the criteria to be a real yoruba is to make negative statement against igbos.

Throwback:
See typical Igbo.

So he wants to win only Lagos Island where his forefathers settled as slave returnees?

Were his forefathers taken from Lagos Island as slaves?

Who's to know if his ancestors are not Ijebu?

Does he know the population of Ogun Ijebu in Lagos, not to talk of Lagos State Ijebus who fully control 2 (Ikorodu and Epe) of the 5 zones of Lagos?

This clown will regret his words.

niggadee:
Awori,egun,ijebu,egba are the original inhabitants, owners of lagos

0m0nnakoda:
He never said so.
Why not find someone who understands English language to interpret

He does not know that Ikorodu, Epe, Lekki, Ibeju-Lekki, and Ajah, are all Ijebu.


Because your ancestors returned from slavery and as Yorubas, chose to settle in Lagos, does not make you more Lagosian than Lagos royals like the Kosokos, or the Dosunmus, or the Eshinlokuns all of Eko, or the Ijebu Oyefusi of Ikorodu and Ijebu Otedola of Epe.

He does not know that even his own family could actually be Ijebu.

Throwback:
Chinedu does not even know his own running mate is Ijebu from Ikorodu.

Oyefusi, daughter of late Oba Oyefusi, the Ayangburen of Ikorodu.

Can anyone be more Ijebu than that?

This bastard is not even aware of the component of Lagos or the subgroups within the Yoruba tribe.

But ask him anything about Igbos or Biafra or IPOB, Chinedu go carry first.

raskymonojendor:
Someone should show him this maps.

XAUBulls:
Indeed... Nicely put.

This dude called Gbadebo is garrulous and NOT well-informed about Yoruba history, and is unfit to be a Governor for saying he would cancel the Lekki International Airport, Epe project by Lagos State.

Gbadebo Vivour's enslaved paternal ancestors are definitely from hinterland regions of the current Oyo, Ogun, or Osun States and they only settled on Lagos Island after returning from
Sierra Leone in the 1800s, and the
Vivours are NOT indigenous to Eko (Lagos Island) which is Aworiland.

Even the Aworis of Lagos and Ogun States migrated centuries ago from
Ile-Ife in Osun State, and not too long ago, the Awori Obas of Lagos and Ogun States led by the Olota of Ota visited the Ooni of Ife to reconnect with the Awori ancestral roots in Ile-Ife.

Ijebuland extends from Lagos State to Ogun State, and Ijebus are indigenous to both states. Ijebus also constitute the largest in the Lagos State Civil Service. I know this fact very well.

Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu is Ijebu so is very qualified to be a Governor of Lagos State since 3 LGAs out of 20 LGAs make up Ijebuland in Lagos State.


NOTE: Formerly enslaved Yoruba returnees from Cuba, Brazil, Sierra Leone, Trinidad and U.S.A. also settled in Abeokuta especially those of Egba-Yoruba origins.


The Oyos, Egbas, Ijesas, Ekitis, Ijebus, Ketus and Bantes in Benin Republic, etc, constituted the bulk of
Yorubas who were captured in the hinterlands and deported on slave ships in the late 1700s till the 1800s to Cuba, Brazil, USA, Trinidad, etc.

Sierra Leone also took in thousands of Yorubas and other ethnicities totalling over 100,000 from (they were freed from slave ships by the
British Navy patrols in the Atlantic Ocean water) Kongo, Angola, Krus, Mandingo, Efik, Fante, Nupe, Kanuri, Hausa, etc.

hotwax:
no, they met the benins there...the downfall of benins gave influence to yorubas..

saro eguns aworis are the real Yoruba tribes there not osogbo ijebu, ilorin ekiti...

stop posting takiya

Throwback:
You know your yoruba history.

It is a shame that a Yoruba-hating charlatan wants to find his way to a prime Yoruba position of authority.

Putinofrussia:
Oba Fashola greats in Ogudu originally came from Kwara.They are Lagosians now having been here more than 200 years.The fact is that they are Yoruba and Yorubas are inter related.

Only an Igbo or non Yoruba cannot easily become a real Lagosians except if he becomes Yoruba.

tamdun:
He's not our brother,our brother will never insult yoruba tribe

XAUBulls:
The RED flags in this Gbadebo's attached tweets and verbal comments are simply too many and unpardonable.

He even said in an interview I heard early last week that he was going to cancel the Lekki Airport
construction which is on the ground and focus on the existing airport at MMA... My jaws nearly hit the floor when I heard that stupid comment.

Gbadebo is not fit to be a Governor of Lagos State which he doesn't know much about!

The APC Lagos initiatives with the international private sector players brought into existence this year
Lekki Deep Seaport, and prior to that the Lekki Free Trade Zone, but that young dude who cannot speak fluent Yoruba and just turned 40 this month wants to cancel the Lekki Airport project located in a major part of Ijebuland in Lagos East.

What is this boy smoking?



Cc: Nisai

nisai:
I voted for Sanwo and made sure many people voted for him too. The ignorant boy will forever regret the day he disrespected my people unless he publicly apologize.

XAUBulls:
Well said Nisai.

Thanks for doing the needful on the election day. Gbadebo has to tender the deep apologies in public to everyone. Then he may be forgiven for his many politically incorrect blunders.

I have maternal roots from Lagos Island as well, and also Ijebu roots in my maternal line from the late 1800s, so this shows that male parents have to teach their kids their languages and family histories while remaining global citizens who can fit into any situation.

Gbadebo's father failed to do his
bit (for his ethnically mixed son) by giving his son some proper cultural grounding as a Yoruba man with 1800s Yoruba returnee ancestral history from Sierra Leone and Fernando Po.


I can see that you are following me.
I have also been following you via my older NL account for years now.

All the best.

olamieseun:
This is the most educated thread have ever read in nairaland since have join this forum.

Bar1941:
I swear to God, these two guys/men omonnaakoda and christistruth01 are great historians.

0m0nnakoda:
Doesn't matter and is irrelevant.
Americans were ethnically English
I do not know whether Badagry paid tribute to Oyobut I do not believe that
Paying tribute and being in control are completely different things
People pay tribute to Boko Haram and or Bandits
I have to ask you if you are from Lagos state because your claims do not match anything I have heard and I have decades of study of Lagos history under my belt
Badagry was never part of Oyo Empire . That is untrue

christistruth01:
Ibadan are Ethnic Oyo
When Oyo people are mentioned Ibadan is included in the term
Oyo never controlled Ijebu Thank God
Ijebu People were too much of a headache to handle even for the British
They are the only ones that can handle themselves

That Badagry paid tribute to Oyo is beyond contention
That is correct but don't let us not digress

40Bullets:
Oga go and rest.
When.we talk about Lagos we refer to the island not Ikorodu or gberigbe area.

Very soon now Jakande's family from kwara will be claiming Lagosian because the father governed Lagos
