Like I told you before I don't need to learn anything.

I am not Awori nor what some of you people want to start calling indigenous Mushin lol.

I was born in Mushin, my father was born in Mushin, my Grandfather was born in Mushin and both the family compound of both my father's parents are in Mushin.

However, I am not "indigenous to Mushin per se" and just like the royal families in Mushin you don't want to give me the answer to, we don't have amnesia in my family, we can actually trace where in Yorubaland we actually come from, and it is not a place that was largely a forest where some people now want to claim they were indigenous to a forest.
Wherever you are claiming as your village today was once a forest claimed by your progenitor.

And your progenitor also came from somewhere to where you are currently claiming as your village /roots..

Well I agree with this.

Though the point I was making is Mushin as a settlement is quite too young for people to be claiming indigenous Mushin, as if they cannot remember where they came from before they came to Mushin.

I am Egba by the way, as a lot of Mushin people tend to be.

I understand your submission my brother ..


But you should know that descendants of both odu abore and aileru will always see themselves as the direct aborigine of mushin till thy kingdom come!!!

Lagos state has commissioned Nigeria’s first Local Government-owned radio station.

The Ishokan 106.7 FM is built by Mushin LGA.

go to your state and make them lead.

If not for the federal government that built and made Lagos the seat of her government, tell me how Lagos would have been better than Ogun State.

If you want to come and argue with your teacher, howfar with Ondo, Osun, Ekiti, Kwara ? Are they one of those leading in the country? Just an idea.
You are posting some disinformation with confidence here! Get yourself properly educated about Nigerian history.

First off, the administrative capital of an amalgamated Nigeria from 1914 till 1991 was Lagos Island NOT the much larger Lagos State which ONLY came into existence on May 27, 1967 through the military administration of General Yakubu Gowon.

A lot of the major Industrial Estates and manufacturing development in today's Lagos State were already in place before May 27, 1967 when 95% of the total landmass of Lagos State was still located in the administrative area called "Old Western Region, where "Cocoa House" the FIRST EVER high rise building in Nigeria was built in Ibadan by Chief Jeremiah Obafemi Awolowo, GCFR, SAN. The location of Lagos to the Atlantic Ocean which is a major rail terminus, international shipping and international business gateway leading to the rest of the West African region and the world ALSO CLEARLY helped Lagos State to grow to what it is today.

The administrative or Federal Capital of Nigeria as chosen by the British Colonial home government from 1914 to 1991 was just Lagos Island (which is indigenous to the Yoruba people) and parts of Surulere, NOT Lagos State. Lagos State is much larger than Lagos Island which is less less than 5% of the total landmass of the entire Lagos State.

Over 95% of the total landmass of the current Lagos State was carved out of the Old Western Region which was under the leadership and development of Chief Jeremiah Obafemi Awolowo, GCFR, SAN, with Mushin, Ikeja, Ilupeju, Amuwo-Odofin, OJo, Badagry, Epe, Lekki, Isolo, Agege, Ikorodu, Iganmu, etc, being located in the Old Western Region. This is why Ikeja Industrial Estate, Ilupeju Industrial Estate, Iganmu Industrial Estate, Isolo Industrial Estate, were established in the Old Western Region by Chief Awolowo of the Action Group, with the Apapa port being the EXPORT point for the manufacturerec items in those Industrial Estates.

Lagos State ONLY came into existence on May 27, 1967 along with the creation of 11 other new states making 12 new states after due consultations with the indigenes of those states. The lands of the Western Region were carved out In order to increase the size of the new state named Lagos State after Lagos Island and the the new state capital was ALSO located on Lagos Island before moving to Ikeja in 1978. If Lagos State hadn't been created in 1967, Mushin, Ilupeju Amuwo-Odofin, OJo, Lekki-Ajah corridor, Ibeju-Lekki, Epe, Ikorodu, Badagry, Agege, Iganmu, and more would have been located in Ogun State as of 2025.
