You don't even have to waste your time educating those people.

Yorubas rule Lagos... check all the Governors.

There's nothing Igbos and Oba of Benin can do about it. Anyone who misyarn will be flogged.

op your information is incorrect. Olumegbon is not a founding father of Ajah.

Thats why there was constant fight between his boys and Illaje dwellers because the Illajes were already settled in Ajah years before Olumegbon came to Lagos.

The fight died down immediately after his demise, no other Olumegbon has been crowned since he died because the Illaje's wont take it.

We are only interested in indigenous Lagosians to rule themselves and not those who run away from their villages in Ogun, Oyo, Osun, Ondo and Ekiti States. if you want to become Governor, go to your states and do so and leave Lagos matter for Lagos indigenes. Is this difficult for Yorubas to understand?

Olodo

It's Eti osa

Osa meaning Lagoon in Yoruba.

Eti meaning near or Ear in Yoruba

Eti osa is generic name given to the local government area when Lagos State was created. It means near Lagoon.

There's nothing precolonial era about Eti osa
