killsmith:

Stop trying to force your identity on them. They are not Yoruba. They have a different language and culture. Does the yoruba have the zangbeto masquerade? Does the yoruba have the "v" alphabet in their language? The Oba is aholu melu toyi... Is that a Yoruba name?

Put aside the unverified history you wrote, does the Egun presently share any cultural similarities with yorubas?
Does this look like yoruba culture to you?

Egun descended from Oduduwa and Migrated from Ife
Their Traditional Ruler is an Oba descended from the Olupopo Oduduwa’s Son

The Oba of Badagry wears an Ife Beaded Crown

The Egun descended from the Olupopo the Son of Oduduwa

They migrated from Ile Ife
and adopted the Language of the Fon of Dahomey who they intermarried with

They are Gbe Speakers of Yoruba Ancestry
Their Awori Cousins gave then land to settle on after they fled the King of Dahomey’s
Wars in the 17th Century
Ouidah in Benin Republic was there. Original Homeland

. Not sure I agree with this.

Across the coast of West Africa from Cross River to Ivory coast you have fishing settlement communities with mixed groups including Ija w Ilaje etc
In discussing Badagry one needs to understand what the place looked like during the slave trade and the population there and in West Africa generally
Much of the lands were sparsely populated e.g It is estimated that the population of Nigeria in 1900 was 18 million
It has been written that Lagos Colony in 1866 had a population of 25000. This should help to put things in perspective
I don't think Ogu people are Yoruba but they have never really been there in Significant numbers or for long enough . Today their numbers have been overwhelmed by Yoruba settlers but they were settlers too.
Nigeria in 1900 was a relatively empty space compared to today

They have in their language sounds like V and Z that do not exist in any Yoruba dialect
I suspeect they are recent settlers into a land that had few permanent inhabitants and fishermen that came and went.
However slave trade from Badagry was dominated by Ijebus and Egbas from the interior

They decended from the Olupopo the Son of Oduduwa

Infact since the Alaafin ruled them they become bilingual speaking both Egun and Yoruba

I suggest you go to the oba of badagry's Palace and confirm from him that his crown is an Ife beaded crown which only Monarchs descended from Oduduwa wear

That crown on the oba badagry head is an Ife beaded crown it is the Ooni of Ife's Property that was gifted only to the Ife Princes
Examine it well

Only Obas descended from Oduduwa wear it
and Only the Ooni of Ife gives them out and authorise their use by a monarch
and it has been so for the last 1000 years

Once any Yoruba Person see's that crown on any Monarch's head, the full story of his lineage from Oduduwa's Ife Princes has been told.

Your tears are sweet and we need an ocean of it.

But no matter how hard you cry....

You will always remember Yorubas are your colonial Masters.

Yorubas have conquered Lagos State and own it now. You can continue to cry. But check the ethnicity of all Lagos leaders.

christejames:
Of course, Lagos culture is entirely different from those of average Yorubas...

The Awori, Egun, Badagry and some other indeginous tribes in Lagos have some kind of distinct culture from the average Yorubas


It's the emigration of Yorubas from Northern part of Lagos, with the immigrants leading as top officials in the state making it the reasons the Lagos state is having some semblance of Yorubas in it. Even the Ijaws and Edos will claim Lagos state as theirs first before even any Yoruba will attempt to


Indeginous Lagos names like Coker, Hundeyin, Gbadamosi, Funsho, Bucknor, Sarumi etc have little or no meaning in Yoruba. Even the culture of Eyo was alien to the Yorubas, Eyo masquerades is indeginous to Lagosians which the Yorubas have adopted as theirs , in the Yoruba folklore, there was nothing like masquerade as they have it today in Eyo... The Yoruba culture could be akin to that of the Hausas.


The case of indeginous Lagosians could be seen in same light to those of Kalabari in Rivers State where but Igbo and Ijaw is seen as forming that language.

Oduduwa himself came to Ife about 1000years ago.

The Ugbo people were chased out
He did not speak Ife or any other Yoruba dialect when he arrived
Meanwhile the Ifa divination system has been in existence for millennia

Just take it that whatever you think you know about Oduduwa is false

No one is a descendant of Oduduwa who is not Idile Oba.

This sounds like comedy...

Lagos culture is different from Yoruba cultures even though they share the same culture, the same language, the same food, the same sense of being and form .

His imaginary Yoruba father and igbo mother did not educate that bigoted element that Lagos is the industrial and commercial capital of Nigeria today because of Awolowo.

Lagos is a commercial and the largest industrial base in Nigeria because the Yoruba people built industrial estates that still supplies most of the goods and services we consume in Nigeria from Apapa industrial, Ikeja industrial, Mushin industrial, Ilupeju industrial estates were all built by Yoruba people.

Lagos is Yoruba land and so it shall remain till the end of time regardless of the ignorant and insulting rubbish from that ill brought up, mannerless and bigoted Biafra losers masquerading as Yoruba man.

Yoruba people don't go out of their way to trash, insult, denigrate and discount their own own people and even if truly thia man is Yoruba, we all know Igbo people won't vote for him or even support him, they are supporting and promoting him because he's igbo. Period.

Awolowo has no role to play about Lagos. It wasn't even part of the western region, it was a colony.
And don't tell me about the lands gotten from Ogun to create Lagos, there were no industrial estates to them before that.
Yorubas built no industrial estates. British and the FG did. Most of those industries were nationalized after independence

He is a native of Lagos, those attacking him are not. That's what is important.

Again, what he said about Lagos having always stood seperate from Yorubaland is true. The colony of Lagos was different from the rest. When the west became a region, Lagos was the FCT outside the control of all the regions (that's how the idea of no man's land started)

Finally, with the collapse of the regions, Lagos became a separate state. It is important to note that lagosians objected being part of southwest region during the national conference in 2014.

People should learn to keep shut if they don't know enough about a topic instead of running their diarrhea mouth online.
Lagos state today comprise of 5 divisions. 4 of those divisions belonged to the western region and was under the control of Awolowo western region govt. They are Epe, ikorodu, badagry and Ikeja. Even the coveted Lekki was under western region. Only Lagos division was the former Lagos- capital of Nigeria.
To put into proper perspective, 95 % of Lagos state landmass was under western region. So how dare u say Yorubas don't have a stake in present Lagos state. U must be dumb as your GRV who thinks Lagos starts and end on Lagos Island and VI. He go shock am.

See the map of Nigeria in 1900 and check what was called Lagos colony

LAGOS was created in 1967 whilst Ogun was created in 1976.
The Airport hotel in Ikeja is owned by

See the map of Nigeria in 1900 and check what was called Lagos colony

Just a little correction it was called Colonyand Protectorate of Lagos
1. Colony of Lagos =Lagos division
2. Protectorate of Lagos = SW today
In British law there is a difference between Colony and Protectorate
Colony is a POSSESSION of the crown and has its basis In the August 1861_Treaty with the Eleko of Ekp


In 1914 when Nigeria was amalgamated
It was the Colony and Protectorate of Nigeria

Again Colony referred just to Lagos Colony
Why does this matter
Before 1960 independence people born in the Colony of Lagos had a different passport from a person born in Ibadan
And technically they are still entitled to British Passports
