dre11: I'd have expected an Oba of Benin to be able to display more wisdom than he did on this particular trip.. Has he ever paused to ask himself why the Bini kingdom's political resident in charge of Lagos (ajele) who later proclaimed himself 'king' as the Eleko/Oba of Lagos, had to lease the land on top of which he built his 'palace' from local liege-lords? 2 Likes |

In the long run, Lagos will be split and given back to the nations that own it Ijebu, Awori and etc |

written007: Can't you simply deduce that Lagos was not founded by the Bini people or Oba of Benin? It is obvious from all research documents that you have put in this space and other information people shared in this space. Lagos was not founded by the Bini kingdom. They were migrants that settled several years go in an island called Eko. Mind you, Lagos Island is not the "Eko" in the context of this conversation. Lagos island included the "Eko". |

pacespot: That is the Eleko and not anywhere outside Isale Eko. They received a Benin prince or adopted Benin styled monarchy with chieftaincy titles and married a princess from Benin at a point and only the land owners can finalize on that but at least two chiefs are descended from Benin that was a Yoruba empire. The people that came to Lagos did not speak Edo. They were Olukunmi people. If Okukunmi in Delta are not speaking Edo why do you think there was an Oba of Lagos who spoke Edo? No they were Yoruba not different from Ijebu or Ijesa 1 Like |

Pristine664: It has already been taken. You just do not understand how. Most of Lagos are owned by different entities, and some important places you can only access with key codes, no yoruba man or woman can approach private estates and says ' I am Yoruba, open the gates for me', you will be beaten to the point you will beg for your life. Tribalism dies where and when money and intelligence talks. |

TheBillyonaire: You are mistaken. Politics triumph and that is why you guys will surely and certainly labour in vain in Lagos. Wait for what will be coming out from Lagos State HOA very soon. As it stands the land and house you are talking about is on lease and your next generation won't be able to lay claim to it. You guys are not smart, you showed your intention too early and it's already backfiring with many current bills in HOA... Expect more stringent government policies very soon and I bet all you will still do is to scream victimisation. And you talk about tribalism? Haha wait for 2027 election in Lagos to see the real Yoruba tribalism. 1 Like |

TheBillyonaire: Tribalism... Another prison holding many from coming together to fix what should be fixed... Their elites only worry about which party is best for them, they don't bother about the tribes involved in whatever party... Ordinary people are too exasperating. Even up till this moment, they get some kinda funny gratification from simply being addressed as "owners/indigenes" of a State;Lagos (like they have any share in it's harvests) when the real goats are reaping bountiful harvests daily at their own expense...

correctguy101: I do not love the country to be frank, I do not know what it is to love a country, I travel anywhere I live and I copy their styles to build my community. Intuitively I know I was born here for a reason. So, there must have been a reason for being born here. When I figured that out, I had to treat other locations as investment shops and move back to build my own community in my state. It is common sense. Money is faith on colored paper, I do not trust in faith or paper, nor do I trust in numbers on a computer, so I just build my own community with money from my investment shops, so those that are crying about Lagos ownership do not know its just a shop. AS you get money from Lagos or abroad, na to build your own community, and put gates and do the roads, so government has no business coming there. Do your own lake, grow some animals, and plant green trees for oxyen, and walk around naked and smoke some weed and enjoy your tenure on earth. Lagos is moneyshop. |

TheBillyonaire: I like to claim I'm aware of all these kind of views and more... But.. I just don't know where the obsessiveness comes from when Africa is mentioned especially our crazy obodo Nigeria... Smh My late Prof claims I suffer from a "program infection" (his choice of word). The crazy old fellow was my best friend until his death but he's a blunt bastard, just like my grandpa.. I miss his company.. smh I'm already too indifferent to many things and maybe I fear losing this little gum-body I have for Nigeria. That's maybe also why it'll be so tough on those I perceive holding her ransom if I ever get the means. I could even end so many lives if I feel it'll make the country better... Smh This intense love might pass before I kick jerrycan though. Who knows.. I'm still a jolly fellow 2 Likes |

correctguy101: I nursed that national ambition for a second, it was not more than a second though, because I realized in a split second that to win election and become a President will be the stuff of magic and miracles. So I chose to localize my ideologies'. If I do not have access to the sovereign wealth to build the country, should at least own a private family estate to build a model community, and that is what I put my life work to. Many passers-by keep telling me the Governor will give me appointment for the environmentally uplifting projects, and I told them I hate politicians and want nothing to do with them. I think most politicians are timid. 2 Likes |
