The word Yoruba was meaningless at the time of the arrival of the Binis and the portuguese. It was the Fulanis that coined the word Yoruba.

Just as the Yorubas coined the word Bini (Ile Ibinu). So, what's your point?

Massiveglory:
Little boi go and learn your history. Rufai has properly and truthfully schooled you.

So na Oseni Dey school you people , na why unah Dey go India too dey claim no man’s land for their prison , since India was once a British colony, make unah go to other British colonies in west Africa to claim no man’s land , like all Nigeria territories no be British get them before ,you people forget that East India Trade Company once owns Birth of Biafra so make Fulani too dey claim no man’s land in Enugu

Iamgrey5:
This is Lagos island not Lagos State.

Just like Oyo state is different from Oyo town.

Enugu town is different from Enugu state

Lagos State is a Creation of the Nigerian military government.

By the way, there is nothing contentious in saying Lagos State is Yoruba land.

The whole of Nigeria once belonged to Royal Niger company as a private property. It doesn't mean there were no indigenous Hasuas in Kano or indigenous Igbos in Anambra at that time.

What was the former name of Lagos before the coming of the white man?

Invest4growth:
So before 1861, Lagos had no history? How was Lagos conquered or taken over by the British in 1861. The research is incomplete and flawed. The same bad belle playing out. Who told this Oseni guy to drive on BRT lane. He was punished for his offence. Ever since, he has been antagonizing. It is all meaningless.

Oh I now see where his bitterness about anything APC and Lagos state government is coming from. This guy sometimes makes me to dislike Arisenews. Always antagonizing this state government.

ivolt:
This Rufai is beginning to sound like an illiterate.
Does he even know the meaning of colony?

By Rufai's logic Britain still "own" Nigeria and by extension every other country it colonised.

Hong Kong was under British rule for 136 years(1841 to 1997) that did not automatically
make it a British or no man's land.

BTW, Oba Dosunmu was one of the several kings ruling parts of Lagos then.

As to the British development he is talking about, let him name one surviving example of that.

Are you minding that Obi spoken person , if this people continue like this , it won’t turn out good for them , I Dey pray make dem no use their own hand call genocide on themselves… because Igbo will never take half of this shit Dey are dishing out , Igbo that can kill all his family because of 1 parcel of land

Lagos island was called many names depending on who you are speaking too.

The bini called it Eko, Awori called it oKo etc.

Lagos was named however by the portuguese meaning Lagoons

Lagos Was Owned By The British For 99 Years - Rufai Oseni Shares Treaty Cession Document (Photo)

Arise TV News presenter and author, Rufai Oseni has added his voice to the recent tribal arguments amongst Lagosians over the 'ownership' of Lagos State, IGBERETV reports.

The argument got intense following the campaign of Labour Party's Lagos gubernatorial aspirant, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour whose mother is Igbo. Also, Labour Party's presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi who is from Anambra state won Lagos State in the just concluded presidential poll against former Lagos Governor Bola Tinubu.

In a tweet on Wednesday, March 15, Oseni said Lagos was a British colony until it was ceded to a Lagos Monarch

He went on to state that some of the developments in the state were made by the British. He also shared a photo showing the treaty cessation document between the then British government and Oba Dosunmu.

Oseni refused to acknowledge the positions that "Lagos is no man's land," or that "it is a Yoruba land".

I'm confused with this epistle... are you saying that Lagos is South East, North West, South South or North central

Someone should help me to summarize it and tell me where Lagos belongs to....

Iamgrey5:
Who are the Aworis

You forget Aworis are in Ife Osun state and in Ogun state

Besides Ibeju, Epe and Ikorodu is indigenous to Jebu as in Ijebu.

Don't mind them... they will be calling Awori Awori as if Aworis are separated from Yoruba lineage.... Awori's are purebred Yorubas from Ile ife

The eguns deny they are Yorubas. Yoruba was a derogatory term coined by the invading Fulani jihadist to describe the people of Oyo. It means people that slippery that can't be trusted. Later the term caught on and all other tribes with language close to that of Oyo accepted the term except a few like the Eguns.

You are a dementia..
Let me tell you stories you've never heard in your life
First origin of Hausa,
Hausa is a derogatory name given to the Hausas by the Yorubas.. it was generated from the word "Awusa" in Yoruba language which means ''walnut" In the early times the people known as Hausa today used to come to YORUBA land to trade at a place which is today called "ALAWUSA" located in Lagos. They were so remoted that the first time they ever saw Awusa was in Yoruba land and they loved it so much and were always ready to exchange whatever goods they brought to our land for some measure of Awusa... So Yoruba people started referring to them as Awusa and they accepted it but the word grew to be known as HAUSA people today...

You see the people called IGBO tribe today used to come to Yoruba land and the only thing they come with and arrested with several times was IGBO known as "INDIAN HEMPS". Whenever they smoke their igbo they misbehave, so Yoruba people used to describe them as Igbo people (Indian hemps people), and overtime, they accepted to be called by that..

You must be sick

Mylove55:

Olodo oniranu! If I insult oba wetin go happen? If you dare me again, I will insult your oba pass anything.

See your mouth like shovel...

After the fact they will call Yoruba cowards for refusing to support Igbo secession. Why would we support your cause? The same people dragging our land with us? Only fools will argue. I noticed the same trend in other parts of Nigeria. Igbo never face their landlocked area and think of growth. It is to claim Lagos, Edo, Delta, Rivers, Benue and Adamawa etc.

Atiku recently gave you best advice, "No region has produced President on its own. You must negotiate for power, not fight for it". They won't hear word! For this, history will surely repeat itself and it was never favourable to your cause. You are strongest when at the table.

FisifunKododada:

you no dey shame....draggin matters with other peoples place....

blame your stvpid igbo candidate for postin rubbish on twitter in the past....

Most people do not know that ékó, idimu, idimuóta are bini words.
Lagos was owned by binis and aworis before settlers from America and the Caribbeans came.
Later, the Yorubas mainly the ones from ijebu, ikorodu and Ibadan came

British or Indians

So ipob come buy am

For 99 years and then returned it to who??

Those who play the tribe card are the most incompetent and dangerous politicians. They should never be trusted. Igbo HATE is an age old strategy, and it always works like a charm. Your strategy will work but Sanwolu, you have joined the el rufai's of this world and that's sadly a disappointment. These fires you have stoked and fanned will burn long after you are gone and will destroy much more than necessary.

tabaski:
This rufai is a dumbo. So the Brits brought Lagos and established it here. No Aborigines no nothing.

Are you sure the dullard knows what is called aborigines

CBR100:


and aworis are igbo or togoleses abi ??

is just lyk saying ekiti ppl owns ekiti state not yoruba (ekiti ppl ar wat ??)

aworis, egba ,ijebu, egun, osun all are yoruba

Some Ijaws originate from Ondo state. Would you call them Yorubas? Have you heard Aworis and Eguns speak their own languages?

FisifunKododada:


So, Aworis are not Yorubas? Please if your brain is paining you seek urgent medical attention.

If you can't control yourself, you don't need to post anything. Some Ijaws originate from Ondo state. Would you call them Yorubas? Have you heard Aworis and Eguns speak their own languages?
