Yoruba heritage that must be protected from covetous outsiders.
In the near future, the entire South West from Lagos up to Ondo to Kwara will be fully under the control of Yorubas in regional government arrangement.
Re: Welcome To Victoria Island by DMerciful(m): 9:58am On Jun 08, 2024
Victoria Island wasn't built by Yorubas one bit else they'd have replicated it in other SW states.

It was the socalled Lagos colony that has been thf colonial melting point for over 200yrs. It was built with Nigerian resources and as such Lagos belongs to all Nigerians equally.

It is this realization that Lagos has gone to Nigeria for good, that why you guys employ violence during election.

The horse has bolted from the stable...Lagos is 100% Nigerian property. Deal with it

It's 100% Yorubaland and Yorubas have control over the land.
Nigeria has taken more money out of South West than what was used to build in the Island part of Lagos. Everything Yorubas pioneered in this country, Nigeria took for herself e.g. First University in Nigeria, First TV Station in Nigeria and many First(s).

Think home, go home.. go and develop your home region.

Your control over Lagos is superficial. On everyday life in Lagos, you must behave like every other Nigerian in Lagos or you'll be dealt with. The more Lagos develop, the more the number of Yorubas in Lagos reduces.

When electronic voting starts with credible election, you’ll see which voting block would determine who wins in Lagos.

Even in regional govt, Lagos will not be part of SW and you know this

You won't have a say in whether or not Lagos should be part of South West region when that time comes.. so ease your pressure and go develop alaigbo.
As you can see, Yorubas don't develop headache over Anambra and whatnot, our focus is South West cos it's our land and territory.
The whole of Lagos is our heritage.
Re: Welcome To Victoria Island by DMerciful(m): 10:26am On Jun 08, 2024
Go and drive out other nationality in Lagos as owner of Lagos.

This wont happen even in a 100yrs!

Enugu was founded and built by Lord Lugard and the British

Waiting for the day they will start rotating the kingship and Gov in Lagos state among other tribes

By the way, why then do u guys attack them of being tribalistic for the lil film they showed u people during the 2023Gov election...since it belongs to u all


We all should keep lying to ourselves, make regional Govt come first,make una con claim the Lagos again
Re: Welcome To Victoria Island by Nobody:
Lagos was a former Benin Kingdom colony before the British took Lagos from the Benin Kingdom after the Benin vs British war of 1897.

Your last statement gave u out...No real Lagosian would say that to other SW people
Since its always easy for you guys to deny your identity and claim to be from the other side, I guess I know the shape of your head

And thanks to the british Govt for the development...so bad they will never be able to come here again to claim Lagos

Thats nice

So what do we do now?
How do we redraw the boundaries to merge Lagos with Benin??

Since 1000BCE, humans have been conquering and taking over various lands while chasing the earlier occupant away...No human germinated from a land, na conquer dem conquer am

Sob in peace bra cheesy cheesy
