You want to eat your cake and have it. You want one country Nigeria, but non Yoruba tribes must remain strangers in Lagos.
Typical mindset of one with inferiority complex.

We should all stop this HYPOCRISY abeg! The same people who were Jubilating when the Chairman that won Fubara's Kangaroo LG election renamed the Obio/Akpor Secretariat from Wike to another name of his choice, this same people are crying today because Charley Boy bus stop is renamed to Badoo lol. These people were hoping that even Wike's properties would be burnt down just like they did with Tinubu's in Lagos. But God Almighty dey always put them to shame again and again and again.
seems you are jobless cos i came online and am seeing this dross you keep posting on all topics.

Even Lere from Ekiti is claiming Lagosian! Same way one man from Iragbiji has enslaved the indigenous Lagosians for years.
We don't discriminate in Yoruba land...
Before 2023, we allow people from south east to occupy executive positions ...but Peter obi changed the whole thing

where did you get that information from?

by the way, is ibadan in the south east?
You people don't see Nigeria as one country and is never gonna be a nation, in view of your clutching tight to stranger-indegene phenomenon in Lagos built with oil revenues and taxes from all the tribes of Nigeria.

But because of proceeds from crude oil in the Niger delta region, you people clutch tight to one Nigeria. Hypocrisy.

Lagos state is the only state in Nigeria where the aborigines of the state are barred from becoming the governor, senator, House of Reps etc..by the invading hinterland Yorubas.
This injustice must 🛑.

I haven't seen an igboman contesting for Oba in any Yoruba land so what's the headache all about? With time I'm sure Igbos will stop voting in any of Yoruba states too so as for peace to reign.

I am actually yet to understand why some people are crying about the Lagos street rennaming.

Before the street was named after Charly boy, which name is it bearing before?

Abeg, enough of this victims mentality jare
it is the motive for the renaming. It is laced with bigotry and discrimination.

This is one battle the Igbos can't win!

Indeed all Nigerians contributed and continue to contribute towards the growth and development of the State but to go about claiming that it's a no man's land is vexatious, insulting and unacceptable.

No matter how hot the sun may dry a piece of cloth, it can never make it to disappear.


Lagos State belongs to the indigenous people of Lagos State.

Disputing this obvious truth would only make life more difficult for those contesting it.

Come chop no mean sey you go carry the pot of soup take run.


Easy does it!

BrainScanner:
in your word,
"but speaking generally about the cosmopolitan Lagos as the former capital city"

So therefore street naming can be former too.
Oga streets can be renamed at anytime as obviously is within the power of the authorities. Where there may be an issue is if it has adverse under tones or does not take some sensitivities of the locality into consideration.
When my pops passed away here in alimosho area of Lagos, the local government recognised his contribution to our adgbo and decided to rename the street a major road in the community after him, a street with a yoruba name, for personal family reasons the family declined. Despite that for the first time ever honor was given as the street was shutdown for the day of the burial, the local government and people of the area Yoruba, igbo, hausa etc folks played major roles. Anyway my adgbo is decent, a bulk of people grew up together, from grand parents to the present generation. Oga it is the present group of politicians that act in a way to sow divisions. Majority of folks in that charlie boy bustop area or the ilaje street align with those street names, infact those bustops were named by the residents of the areas. I remember back in the day when passing through that area, Charlie boys house was what we will look at as an attraction looking at his motorcycle hung high up. No right thinking politician (without ulterior motives) will decide to go against that community by renaming such a place. Good to know decent, proper Nigerians especially the Yoruba folks have come out to show displeasure.

Every Yoruba is an undefined in every part of Yoruba land up to Knd Kogi.

That's something unique God created with the Yoruba ɓut which denied some bigotry tribe.

lets be honest with ourselves, i dont see any sense in this street renaming of a thing.

me use to think that those who are named after them usually pay fees in form of royalty which is subject to renewal after an agreed period of
time.
How come you contradicted yourself so ?

You said you saw no sense in the renaming yet your last paragraph shows that street names are subject to periodic review!

Lere making enemies up and down because of Wike who can discard him whenever he pleases. What's his business with the renaming of streets in Lagos, not even in Abuja where his boss is the CEO.

Think of it this way: Lagos is the commercial heart of Yorubaland, much like Paris is to France. Before the British amalgamation of Nigeria, the Yoruba people, across what are now six Nigerian states, had a well-structured monarchical system. Each town or settlement was governed by an Oba (king), in council with chiefs and other key officials. Importantly, this wasn’t a dictatorship; the Oba’s authority was balanced by a council of chiefs who represented various segments of society, ensuring a form of consultative governance."

"Now, just as a French citizen from Marseille or Lyon doesn’t need permission to belong in Paris, a Yoruba person from Abeokuta, Ibadan, Ado-Ekiti, or Akure doesn’t need to justify their presence in Lagos. They are not outsiders, they are part of the same cultural, historical, and ancestral family. Yorubaland is one body, and Lagos is a vital organ within it."

"The Yoruba people are not guests in Lagos; Lagos is part of the Yoruba civilization. Our dialects may vary slightly, but our Oríkì, deities, traditions, and ancestral claims are deeply interconnected. So when we say 'Lagos belongs to the Yoruba,' we mean all Yoruba people, not just those whose immediate forebears were born on Lagos soil."

Nothing to translate sir, the worst to happen is to tell them to leave Lagos and that settles it. They can still stay in their Anambra and still be shouting "LAGOS IS NO MAN'S LAND", hope you won't go and bomb them then?

I will take a leep here to assume you are neither a Lagosian nor Yoruba which is why this may be alien to you. If you were you will understand how traditional stools (ipere) are ascended, it's not the same as political offices. We are logical in our dealings. We are not arrogant and not driven by emotions.
Lagosians has come to claim your state or dragging with you, I don’t like cho cho people, please face your state

Hmm so some people have now made themselves the ethnicity gatekeepers of Lagos to check Yoruba Lagosians indigeneship/state of origin status ..and they are not even Yoruba themselves. This is highly offensive to the Yoruba Commonwealth ethos which sees all of Yorubaland as one people with free movement and settlement within Yorubaland..It is also a primitive attempt to knock Yoruba heads together.. very dangerous actions breed reactions.

And they're telling you gently that that's not how it's done here and you want to rudely dictate to them that it's otherwise. Continue
Keep on forcing yourself on Lagosians due to long throat. How many Lagosians has come to claim your state or wants to be governor of your state. Please allow Lagosians to breathe for once, peace ✌️
