fuckingAyaya:So are you trying to claim Igbos in Enugu, Imo, Anambra, Abia and Ebonyi don't sell lands to strangers? |

Ikaeniyan0:If Lagos is own by Yorubas and Eguns as you said, why then borrowed a name from Portugal that was named after it? |

AgentNairaland:The British forcefully took over your “lands” and converted it to a company. |

Charly boy owed his landlady for 7 years and refused to pay rent. Regardless its very petty of bariga lga to change the bus stop name. Many of those ruling lagos today are not even from lagos |

AgentNairaland:Bro, I don't have the strength to answer this your chidish question. Even a student in JSS 1 shouldn't be asking this kind of question. You need to reason better than this |

Sheuns:Lagos is not my land take note of that. So Portuguese were sent packing from Lagos by the British, is that what you're saying right? |

ednut1:The bus stop name was not officially Charly boy. I see no big deal in what the government has done. Obiano changed Abakaliki street to Club street. All this things nah normal thing in Nigeria |

IslamVIRGINS:Are you related to Lagos or any SW state?. If you're not related, swerve to the other side. This issue of Igbos sticking their nose in Lagos matters, is the Bleep we are dealing with, at the moment. Why should my tenant challenge my authority in my estate?, this nonsense going on since Lugard must stop. Yorubas never had any contact with Igbos before 1914, if there was any post it. |

AgentNairaland:Imagine this nonsense, Araba ni baba, eni a ba laba ni baba. When the British arrived in Lagos, oba Kosoko was in charge, the British had to go to war with Oba Kosoko, in other to seize the control of Lagos. Kosoko lost to British fire power and was exiled to Epe, and was replaced by a stooge named Oba Dosumu. When the struggle for independence started, the British trying to hold on to Lagos, claimed Lagos was sold to them. An Idejo chief, Amoda Tijani a wealthy business man, dragged the colonialists to court in England, and won. He was even compensated to the tune of 20, 000 pounds. Since in your delulu mind, Lagos doesn't belong to the Yoruba, who are the owners of Lagos?. |

There are consequences for every action. What you’re seeing now is the consequence. It’s really sad that the Yorubas who traditionally value living peacefully with strangers have reached this point. |

If I recall, street naming in Lagos as per non major artery roads but that connecting nominal neighbourhoods used to be done by naming the street after the first individual to develop his or her property on said street lane That's why if you take any random street in say Mushun surbhub you will find that the individual whose name bears the street has a residence or building on same street. |
