What about Pedro?

latiephwald:
Even Seun himself was drunk when he made such claims.

Seun Kuti was definitely inebriated when he posted that IRRESPONSIBLE comment online. You did vey well by adding the ChatGPT results which show with absolute CLARITY what the Portuguese (and Spanish) word "Lagos" means. When I first saw it a few years back, I thought to myself, "is this guy not becoming a disgrace to the Anikulapo-Kuti family?"

ChatGPT also CLEARLY states that Eko is a Yoruba name from the same screenshot. That's all the EVIDENCE anybody needs to know. All that asinine "war camp" nonsense definition on irredendists websites and Wikipedia vandalisms is historical revisionism and it will NEVER be tolerated.

Do remember to change tenants into landlords too

The ORIGINAL Yoruba name of Victoria Island which is still in use is IRULAND hence the name Iru/Victoria Island.

The Oba of Iruland or Iru Kingdom (which has the entire Victoria Island as it's area of ancestral control) is called the Oniru of Iru.

The original Iru settlement centuries back started at the EXACT location where the Bar Beach was before the Eko Atlantic City development started off to curb the annual incursions of massive waves from the Atlantic Ocean due to climate change and reclaim the original land lost to the ocean floor by the ocean waves.

Dem
Dey change name of street since time immemorial but e deynpain someppl this time around

Awon alainitiju oselu gbogbo. Bunch of shameless politicians.

Obiphobia. Fear of Obi uprising is causing street name changes. More to come.

See cry from immigrants 🤣😂🤣🤣🤣

I'm still waiting for you to show me any Edo names in any part of Lagos.

jaxxy:
Everybody knows lagos has mixed history of different ethnic groups.

Edo people say they own Eko. What will u do about it.

Cherrybae:
This is victory for democracy. I'm glad Lagosians have woken up to take back their pride.

Anyone aggrieved should relocate back to his state.

SS and SW will remain united. We will never complain.

It's simple

Woken up by renaming street names, the joke is on both of you, can’t you see what they are doing is childish 😁😁

77up:
Igbos actually brought those hostility they experiencing in Lagos and Yorubaland to themselves. No matter how you think you are, you don't do pass yasef in another man's land.

I’m yet to see anything, keep on changing the streets names, I’m sure it will end when you get tired of it, please stop chest beating over nothing

Adexvivacity:
Nothing will happen if properties are touched. You people claimed everywhere would burn if Kanu was arrested, he is spending years in prison now and nothing happened.

We are waiting for your next action after changing the streets names, everything sounds childish to me

palsenator:
Keep it up then... Nah your data.

Instead of rechannelling your energy to developing Onitsha, you are busy with Lagos issues

I thought he was using your data, chest beater, are you done changing the streets names, 😁😁🤣

RodgersAkpafu:
Let them continue on this yeye path of renaming streets and tribal politics

Would not change the fact that many of them are still suffering

It's going to generate into a much bigger crises. The problem with our people is their lack of foresight and always being so optimistic. Mind you, these are the educated ones o, including those who studied and live(d) abroad. Then imagine those who don't have such exposure?

This ethnic bigotry towards Igbos has been rearing its head since 2011 with an increment in 2015 and final episode in 2023. It's going to be worse in 2027.

Well, you see why I would never deride the likes of Farage or Trump? The White man is better off and way superior.

I used to even think Igbo women who are wives to prominent Yoruba men would wade in, but well, everyone's offspring will learn a thing or two.

Why? Its connection with Portugal is part of its history. Same with the British - Bourdillion, Gerrard roads etc and even the Nupe - eg Tapa street. These are real historical connection ( good or bad) and not the results of migration and property acquisition. You cannot claim ties simply because you bought land in an area. By token of historical connection Nnamdi Azikwe and Ndubuisi Godwin Kanu deserve their roads.

tunjijones:
Just wait and see..

Na Una go still cry blood.....

The sensible ones among you are going back to the east to invest, but the foolish one is say na another person region he go develop.

Just watch when the policy will be implemented. I pray it happens in our life time.

I will post Babangida quote tomorrow morning before going to sleep, I hate chest beaters

PDPdestroyer:
This is giving me goosebumps, Yorubas are gradually waking up from their slumber. This is wonderful

They sleeping more than ever, you can’t give what you don’t have

Do the people named after streets get paid? I just want the benefit of all this? 😁😁

Please wake me up when you done renaming streets of Lagos 😁😁

latiephwald:
Maybe you should explain to the origin of Benin and why they use Oba if not Igwe.

What has this got to do with the correction I pointed out.

Shawarmagirl:
I will take Y'all serious the day you start collecting back your family compound and lands the Igbos who came with polythene bags to Lagos bought from Y'all. For now, y'all still remain their tenant.

Can you return the Shawarma you have eaten?

Your consolation song.
Hausa,Edo,Urhobo and other tribes bought lands in Lagos too.
Enjoy your land as long as we permit,when we deem fit,we revoke

pquaver:
Yes the yorubas are ok with it as lagos and the Portuguese are not saying lagos is no mans land and that they are 90% majority.. You can't dictate for yorubas what to change or not... Zuruike nwa igbo.. When we were warning u people of ur actions and how it will turn out u people said we are yoruba claiming igbos, now its happening u want to claim victim... The good thing is if u wail from now till tomorrow yoruba no send u they will still follow it up with others actions and i support them fully..
Next time our people will understand what integration into host community entails.

@pquiver

I doubt if this is an act of vendetta though, however the renaming of street names and landmarks is within the purview of the local government areas. Some people build houses in locations and randomly name the streets after themselves WITHOUT official approval hence these kinds of renamings can be effected. In the case of Charly Boy, the "Second Pedro Bus Stop" has ALWAYS been the official and ORIGINAL name till 2025 when it was renamed to "Olamide Badoo Bus Stop" unknown to some highly emotional and uninformed people who aren't familiar with Gbagada in Lagos State. Charly Boy was used informally and he only lived in the rented house and he didn't own that house he lived in near the "Second Pedro Bus Stop" now officially "Olamide Badoo Bus Stop" due to the FACT that Olamide and those honored are Bariga-born or have historical ties with Bariga LCDA.


Second, these 3 videos right BELOW, 2 of which I saw in my YouTube timeline within the last 2 days absolutely fit right into what you just stated ABOVE to that guy. One of the videos is from an indigene of Isseke in Orlu while the second video is of some Ibo youths bragging and taunting Ghanaians openly further fueling the pent up anger of Ghanaians over many past (over 16 years) and recent crimes in Ghana largely linked to arrested gangs from the South East of Nigeria. The 3rd video done in 2014 shows a Thailand Police investigator interrogating a young South East drug pusher and calling his South East people the BIGGEST CURSE of Nigeria and Africa. Recently, 5 South East Nigerians got busted by the Ghana Police for series of bank armed robberies done from 2024 to 2025 in Ghana. (The arrogant illegal Eze guy parading himself in Ghana just angered them more since he even claimed in a viral video that he's an ipob member). That second video BELOW has a strong reaction from a YouTuber of Ibo descent. Some South East dudes just don't know when to STOP the overbearing attitude which spoils things for their other innocent kinsmen and other Nigerians of over 300 distinct ethnic groups in Nigeria and the Diaspora. Gov. Soludo is one of the noble men who have spoken out in the viral video speech he gave while in the United States that 99.99% of Anambra kidnappings for ransom, armed robberies and other heinous crimes are done by South East of Nigeria indigenes. This was meant to serve as a cautionary measure but NO, some started attacking him for saying the statistics out.

Tinder Swindler, Drugs or Football?
It shows a drug trafficker from the South East of Nigeria being interogated in 2014 by a Thailand Police investigator who from the timestamps 5:00 and 9:00 bluntly called out the "I*o" tribe as the BIGGEST CURSE of Nigeria and Africa in that same 2014, because of their many relentless hard drug trafficking and more into Thailand.

Mabuggi88:
Who is claiming Lagos is no man's land?

Igbos

LegendHero:
When Sanwoolu is gone, these guys go see shege.

You can see they are pushing this only from the grassroots for now. The state never even get hand in it yet.

Then you chase them out of the state and take over their businesses, houses, investment, works etc....Una brain twist aswear.

Tinubuadvocate:
Eko is real name and most Yoruba people still call it Eko.

And we Benin people named it Eko.

No offence o....we love Lagos cos Eko Ile...Lagos city.
God bless Lagos state.
