Lagos belongs to Lagos state indigenes stop claiming another man's land. Go to your state and develop it criminal

Lagos state indigenous people said they don't want to be in the south west. They want to be in the WEST-WEST and that is the regionalism they are pushing for.

So as there is a south south, there will now be a west west simple.

So better remove your eye from lagos on time and face your illaro

unclejb2:
Go back to ogbomosho and leave Lagos for lagosians.

Igbos have the biggest population in Nigeria. In all parts of the country, after the indigenous peoples, the next biggest population are the Igbos.

Maybe you are not yet ready to tell yourselves the truth.

Lagos colony. Lagos colony was at the level of the protectorates during Nigeria formation

Yes yes yes, even though some of us have issues with our Yoruba brothers, but we jointly have a common enemy which are the ibos.

Lagos belongs to all Nigerians equally. Even if Lagos finally becomes West-west, all Nigerians have a stake there unless the pay the billions of dollars spent in Lagos

Do you know that Lagos colony is just 4 local government out of 20 local governments in Lagos state.
Ikorodu, Epe, Ikeja, Lekki were under western Region.

Okwyjesus:
When you divide lgbos into other states to make them small.

Igbos started being small in Nigeria after the war. From Rivers to Delta etc you see lgbos whose identity the worked hard to change.

Point of correction please..Before the war, Delta state up to Asaba was in the Western region and later mid west region that covered Delta and Edo state.

I'm sure you know nothing about Lagos...Go back and read your history book so that you will know there's difference between Lagos and Lagos state.

You are correct. Because we are having issues with our other Yoruba brothers over governorship doesn't mean ibos that are strangers in our land should be chooking mouth inside.

We will settle our issues, and even while we are still settling it, the ibos are still our common enemy.

Every region especially in the South lost lands. Many of Igbo lands are in Delta, Edo, Rivers, Benue, Kogi, Akwaibom. This was done to limit Igbos access to the Sea.

Lagos State has come to stay and if they say they wanna be West-West, so be it.

Since 1999, no indigenous Lagosian has been governor. They cannot go from external colonization to internal colonization!

Exactly. Thanks for your support, but you are still our number 1 enemy in all of Nigerian tribes in Lagos.

Every election cycle, we will come together with our Yoruba brothers and slap/flog you people.

Ps: we reject Chinedu roads 5 4.

Lagos State cannot be ruled from Ibadan because when Lagos colony was created even Nigerian protectorates weren't formed.

Since 1999, no aboriginal Lagosian has been governor. Lagos cannot move from external colonization to internal colonization!

Still our number one enemy is the ibos. We still need the support of our other Yoruba brothers to become Governor.

You're not from Lagos! No indigenous Lagosian will accept internal colonization after over 200 yrs of colonization!

I am both aguda and Awori.

When Sanwo Olu recently appointed an Urhobo man to replace late Soyannwo, we see that he hasn't learnt his lesson, but atleast he is not Ibo. Thank goodness.

Same sentiments echoed by my brothers.

The Yorubas from other SW states are the ones preventing indigenous Lagosians from being governors in Lagos. Indigenous Lagosians will use the possible regional government to form their own West-West

If you trace well you will likely see that you're not an indigenous Lagosian. I'm sure 150yrs ago, your family wasn't in Lagos. You're immigrant like most Yorubas claiming Lagos

Anyway, while we have our issues with our Yoruba kith and kin. We are pushing for Awori Governor in Lagos and Ogun, but we still know who the real and most dangerous enemy is - the Ibo. Right from the days of Jaja Nwachukwu and his bandits from the SE.

No ibo land was carved into Western region or Delta state..

Going by your logic, should Yorubas start dragging, Delta too because there are indigenous Yorubas there?

Asaba has always been in the Western region.
Are you the advocate of the non indigenes.
Can you list any Eastern region investment or property in these states you listed?Delta, Edo, Rivers, Benue, Kogi, Akwaibom

I'm sure no Ijebuman from Ikorodu or Epe will tell you they don't belong to Western region.
Till today, major infrastructure and investments in Ikeja were provided and owned by the western region..

Is Ambode from Epe a non indigene? What of Sanwo-olu?

Agbaje from Ikorodu was given Igbo tag to deny him governorship even though he is indigenous only to choose Fasola and Ambode that are not Lagosians.

Same with Jandor, GRV, Funke Akindele but allowing non Lagosians to lead.

They're being marginalized in their own ancestral lands using Igbophobia as distraction

Even if they are non indigenes, they are Adele for us. And Sanwo Olu who is part ijebu is also married to a saro woman too. We would rather have our Yoruba brothers rule over us than those covetous people from the SE.

Yes, we would rather not have a Lagosian that panders to ibos e.g. GRV. Because we want a Lagosians does not mean we would now allow any idiot to become Governor. Same way we rejected GRV even though he is part Saro.

When the time for restructuring comes, you'll see if Lagosians will accept being ruled from Ibadan.

There are Igbo territories in the states i mentioned. I'm Igbo from Delta. If the military weren't creating states arbitrarily, the Igbo nationality should have been in one geopolitical region

The ibos are still not getting it.

No other tribe in Lagos was called out in this post by Lagosians in Lagos. Only ibos.

Lagos indigenes in North America support a regional system of government.
They refute claims that Lagos is not part of Yorubaland.
The group highlights the historical and cultural evidence supporting Lagos’s Yoruba heritage.

Indigenes of Lagos State residing in North America have voiced their support for a regional system of government in Nigeria.

In a statement issued on Wednesday by Balogun Olaseni Borokini on behalf of the group, they asserted that a regional system would acknowledge Nigeria’s diverse cultural, economic, and political identities, enabling more effective governance.

“We, the indigenes of Lagos, strongly support the move towards a regional system of government. This system recognises the unique cultural, economic, and political identities within Nigeria, allowing each region to govern itself more effectively,” the statement reads.

The group believes that a regional government for Lagos would honour its heritage and allow for better resource management and more efficient addressing of local needs.

The statement also addressed recent online discussions, particularly among some Igbo commentators, suggesting that Lagos is not part of Yorubaland. This narrative often cites a statement by Jaja Wachukwu, Principal Secretary of the Igbo State Union from 1948 to 1952, who referred to Lagos as “no man’s land.”

The Lagos indigenes in North America refuted these claims, underscoring the historical and cultural links between Lagos and the Yoruba people.

“Lagos, known as Eko in the Yoruba language, has been a significant part of Yoruba history for centuries. The city was primarily inhabited and governed by the Awori, a subgroup of the Yoruba people,” the statement explains.

They highlighted the city’s historical role as a Yoruba commercial and cultural centre, the enduring influence of the Oba of Lagos (a Yoruba monarchical title), and the pervasive presence of Yoruba language, traditions, and festivals in Lagos.

While acknowledging Lagos’s diverse and cosmopolitan nature, the group stressed that this inclusivity does not negate its Yoruba identity. They argued that historical evidence and cultural continuity undeniably support Lagos’s status as part of Yorubaland.

“The assertion that Lagos is ‘no man’s land’ often stems from its cosmopolitan nature, but it is crucial to distinguish between the city’s inclusive spirit and its historical identity. Yoruba people have continuously lived, ruled, and shaped Lagos, and this historical continuity cannot be dismissed,” the statement clarified.

The group concluded by urging for factual and culturally sensitive narratives in discussions about Nigeria’s governance and regionalism, advocating for the recognition and respect of Lagos’s Yoruba heritage.

Most people in Asaba are Onitsha traders that migrated there due to the insecurity created by Peter Obi and his goons when he was a governor now claiming indigenous..Yes, I was in Enugu then working and I have facts ..Even the igbos in Igbanke in Edo state migrated there during the civil war. . Between 2008 and 2012,they were kidnapping for ordinary #1500 recharge card in Aba..
Should Yorubas in Nigeria start claiming Yoruba territories in Togo, Benin republic too because there are Yorubas there?

I'm waiting for your answer
