The Oloja-Elect of Lagos, Prince Abiola Kosoko, has criticised the controversial assertion that Lagos is a “no man’s land.”

Speaking at the recently concluded King Kosoko Memorial Lecture in Lagos, Kosoko stated that the claim, often made by residents who are not originally from Lagos, is a misguided attempt to rewrite history.

“Lagos can never be a no man’s land,” Kosoko stated.

He clarified that while many individuals may reside and pay taxes in the city, true indigenes have a deeper ancestral connection to the land.

“I am an indigene of Lagos, not just a citizen. Those who claim Lagos is no man’s land are citizens or residents who can leave at any time. But for me, Lagos is my home—my ancestral home—and I will always hold onto it,” he said.

Kosoko also highlighted Lagos’s transformation into a bustling commercial hub, noting its role as a centre of business and trade.

He described Lagos as a “commodity centre” that has evolved into a “profitable hub for commercial and trade activities.”

That's true.

Sure, lagos is the property of the Yorubas.

That the Yorubas even get worked up on this non-issue is bewildering.

lateef jakande said it is no mans land.

so it remains no mans land.

The way this statement riles Yorubas eh. I do not believe a non indigene can make this kind of spurious claim to anyone's land.

Every land have real owner who rule such land traditionally

God bless every local government in Nigeria

Are we still on this?

Instead of admitting that the landlord of Lagos has made their country worse than Somalia, they are busy using divide attention tactic.


And every Yoruba Muslims would find something to hold on to and lambast other ethnicities. While their people are dying of Tinubus hunger

Dis guys r funny

Well, ABA is a no man's land

Jab at some people.

Tell the cannibals oo
Let them know (e je ki won mo)

Wetin Jide kosoko brother dey talk? Qw already know na.

That's a warning to developers.

The Kosokos are descendants of Olofin . Olofin became the "first" settlers of Lagos . They're the aworis . The Olokun Semiade(real person) control all the islands(I think his descendants are the Mobas that use silver crown ) .Later on ,other Yoruba tribes migrated to Lagos to settle on uninhabited lands . Not to even mention of other cities that were added from Ogun State.

Only empty barrels make the most noise ,no matter the size of the land you buy ,there's still a revocation clause after 99 years .

No matter how nationalised a migrant is in Europe or America,they will still tag you with your origin .

Also,US and Europe are pro anti migration now which we can witness in the last UK riot because the "migrants" don't know their level .

There's a saying that if slave stay too long ,he will want to become king .

True

After collecting tax it will be yr land when money is not involved it would be no mans land

I thought this matter had long been settled

Obi's People will not gree

Same with abuja and the sahara desert.

The history of lagos is well documented but people want to give their own versions. Next

They're not worked up on it.

There are those claiming the state is a no tribe's land... and causing a tussle

Can one go to Niger State to claim it's no man's land, or Anambra State to claim it's no man's land. Even though we are all one Nigeria, we have our diversities, cultures, and origin.

And that should be respected

Nigeria is hard

Tell that to the Chinese

Ok

Yes, we all know that

Lagos belongs to lagosians and not to igbos or hausa or yorubas .

Be clear

Lagos indigenes have said they don’t have a problem with Igbos, but they do have a problem with people from neighboring states claiming Lagos to be theirs and trying to sideline the indigenes and determine who stays in Lagos.

As in, Lagosians were accommodating enough to attract people from all over the country and beyond, but some people who also moved to Lagos from neighboring states are now claiming Lagos and scaring away other dwellers with their obnoxious behaviors

I didn’t make this up. It’s on the news

Where were you when the military government of Nigeria were building Lagos with Niger Delta money?

For instance, I remember when Babangida asked Julius Barger to build that 3rd mainland bridge that reduced the traffic hold up in LAGOS then and many other infrastructure and you never claimed nonsense.

Have you people been able to build the 4th mainland bridge after all these years?

Give us our money back and take back your Lagos or continue to accept that Lagos is NO MAN'S LAND.....
Nonsense.

lateef jakande said it is no mans land.

Ofonee!
simple & short!
