Yorubas will get regional autonomy WITHOUT LAGOS.

I don't think you get the point. No body is dragging Ondo, Osun, Oyo, Ekiti with you.

Don't forget that any talk of regional autonomy will be debated and approved by both houses of the national assembly and subsequently approved by 2/3 of all state assemblies. We, the people of Nigeria will decide what happens to Lagos. Not you guys from Ondo, Ekiti, Osun, Oyo etc. You are free to go back to your states too.

Is alaba Hausa or ibo?

Aba in Yoruba means living space in a village. Alaba should mean owner of Aba. That name probably came from the time that place was still a village. Don't let us get ahead of ourselves because of these tribal things

WizardOfNG:
Lol. The bolded in your post 100% confirms I would be wasting my own time with any further back and forth with you.

Goodbye and kindly accept my apologies for responding to you in the first place.

We warned them severally to face their home region and develop the place, they called us names.
Now that Yorubas have finally decided to "ronu", let's see how they will boast about buying up lands in South West or call Lagos no man's land.
Most Yorubas I know (myself inclusive) don't make such annoying assertions about Lagos, even though it's our home, in our home region, we still recognize the makeup of the State. It's time for Yorubas from all over to protect all Yoruba territories including Lagos State to avoid stories that touch later.

Nnamdi Azikiwe tried to separate Lagos from South West but failed, Ojukwu tried same thing from the letter he wrote to Victor Banjo describing Lagos as a colony that will be under Igbo administration once they invade South West region.
Most people don't know that the greed of Ojukwu to annex lands in South West was what fueled the civil war and got Yorubas angry, they are towing same path today thinking Yorubas can't send them pack.ing.

Can u share a link to this.
Thanks.

Ttalk:
Now Lagos state is beginning to take control of its affairs.

The next is to rename some market that their name has no link to the people of Lagos state.

It is high time Alaba market is changed to reflect the history of the people of Ojo. There nothing in Yoruba and Awori dialect that bears Alaba.

Dalohad:
Another administration will come and also rename the street to the names of his friends and girlfriends with a stroke of a pen..

Lagosians get ready, every 4 years your street names will change, and your parcels coming from abroad may still longer in transit during that change or may even never be delivered..

The precedence has been set forever.

Na politics we dey play and we must play it to the fullest. Anybody wey run, him paley.

Enugurangers:
How is that your business. Let Lagosians do as they like. Its their land, their territory. They can do whatever makes them happy.

aswani:
I am on my travels and a quick search doesn't bring it up or maybe my search text is too long. When I get back to my base, I will search for it again.

Best post here.

They think you can force change by mere announcement.

Olamide should reject it if he has any self respect.

The governor should ban these LG chairmen from all these nonsense. It's just too petty. They should face real and tangible development.

Imagine naming a street after Bukayo Saka of Arsenal and England. WTF.
