MufasaLion:Oga try and read to understand. He is talking about the original indigenes of Lagos who are being Displaced not only by non-yorubas, but by yorubas who are not indigenous to Lagos as well. |

iwaeda:Exactly. They just use the attack on igbos to mask the real problem. |
| Re: Renaming Streets: A Cosmetic Change Without Cultural Protection (Opinion) by Irony1: 6:31pm On Aug 01, 2025 |
unavailablecity:Oga do you really read to understand? The statement is simply pointing at the fact that indigenous Lagosians are losing their ancestral lands not only to non yorubas, but also to Yorubas from other parts of SW. |

BabaO2:The problem with people like you is that you lack comprehension. Did the guy say 95% of the people are igbos? |

unavailablecity:These useless politicians are just fooling you! They should go to Lagos island and rename all those streets that are not named after Yorubas! You should be asking for good governance that will better your life if you're really a lagosian and not some useless streets renaming |

Tinubu - Osun state Fashola - Ekiti state Ambode - Ondo state Sanwo-olu - Ogun state Now tell me: who owns Lagos? Is it Yoruba or the Indigenes? Because of the four governors so far since 1999, not one is from Lagos state. |
| Re: Renaming Streets: A Cosmetic Change Without Cultural Protection (Opinion) by Irony1: 6:42pm On Aug 01, 2025 |
Mrexcell:Ironically the writer is even throwing shades at those in power who have even sold lands to Yorubas from other SW areas, thereby ignoring other Lagosians. |
| Re: Renaming Streets: A Cosmetic Change Without Cultural Protection (Opinion) by Irony1: 6:42pm On Aug 01, 2025 |
Raskimonojendor:Yoruba owners who are not indigenous Lagosians. |
| Re: Renaming Streets: A Cosmetic Change Without Cultural Protection (Opinion) by Irony1: 6:44pm On Aug 01, 2025 |
creativejagaban:Oga you are also trying to play smart. The article is about indigenous Lagosians. If you are a yoruba from any other part of SW apart from Lagos means you are not from Lagos. You guys have tacitly Displaced the indigenes of Lagos under the guise of fake Omoluabi solidarity and you know deceive them by pointing at igbos who own a small fraction of lands in Lagos. |
| Re: Renaming Streets: A Cosmetic Change Without Cultural Protection (Opinion) by Irony1: 6:46pm On Aug 01, 2025 |
UpaIweka:See throwing insults at people will not hide the fact that people's eyes in Lagos are opening and they are seeing the games you people are playing. You guys using fake omoluabi solidarity have Displaced the original Lagos indigenes and you now turn around and incite them against igbos. |

BabaO2:So why did Nigeria start fighting them with unity by force? These people want to be on their own but your same Nigeria refused? Why haven't your government in Lagos bit rename all those streets named after white men in Lagos? These useless politicians are just fooling you oga |

richie240:Noooo it is not about segregation it is the harsh reality. You people have tacitly removed the main indigenes of Lagos from their lands. This divide and rule tactic is failing. |
| Re: Renaming Streets: A Cosmetic Change Without Cultural Protection (Opinion) by Irony1: 6:48pm On Aug 01, 2025 |
YesDaddyTill203:Oga this tactic has failed. People's eyes are opening and they are seeing through this divide and rule games. |
| Re: Renaming Streets: A Cosmetic Change Without Cultural Protection (Opinion) by Irony1: 6:49pm On Aug 01, 2025 |
richie240:This is a weak attempt at trying to change the topic |
| Re: Renaming Streets: A Cosmetic Change Without Cultural Protection (Opinion) by Irony1: 6:51pm On Aug 01, 2025 |
ultraviolet27:They are indigenous to Lagos, so if you are an egba you are not an indigene. |

richie240:Oga this tactic is stale. I am not poking in anything, go and attack the poster of the article, as it raises a salient point that you people are dodging. Now it is clear people's eyes are opening amd are seeing the deception from you people. |
| Re: Renaming Streets: A Cosmetic Change Without Cultural Protection (Opinion) by richie240: 7:31pm On Aug 01, 2025 |

Irony1:Oya, people's eyes have cleared; no, they can see the bigotry from your end, and we are not taking that crap any longer. Cry and wail victimhood all you want. We ain't falling for that trick anymore. If you don't like what we are doing in the SW, pls move back to your region. It's not by force. |
| Re: Renaming Streets: A Cosmetic Change Without Cultural Protection (Opinion) by BabaO2: 7:40pm On Aug 01, 2025 |
Irony1:It is you that doesn't understand simple english expression, read the comment again and again. His comment and my comment, no where it was pointed igbo are 95% in Lagos. |
| Re: Renaming Streets: A Cosmetic Change Without Cultural Protection (Opinion) by Irony1: 8:02pm On Aug 01, 2025 |
BabaO2:Oga don't gaslight me why were you attacking him and making reference to igbos? |
| Re: Renaming Streets: A Cosmetic Change Without Cultural Protection (Opinion) by Irony1: 8:03pm On Aug 01, 2025 |
YesDaddyTill203:Dude stop the tactic it is stale. The issue is internal between you Yorubas and they have seen the deception. Igbos are not the enemy, it is your selfish elites that are. |
| Re: Renaming Streets: A Cosmetic Change Without Cultural Protection (Opinion) by Irony1: 8:03pm On Aug 01, 2025 |
richie240:When cornered this is the tactic you use to run away from the argument. |
| Re: Renaming Streets: A Cosmetic Change Without Cultural Protection (Opinion) by YesDaddyTill203: 8:18pm On Aug 01, 2025 |
Irony1:You must think that you are preaching to one of your fellow, not too smart IPOB subjects. It is now our selfish elite, it was not our selfish elite when your lord, the albino clown, was blahbling on Radio Biafra about what he wanted to do to the Yorubas, and you all were supporting him. When Buhari was president, you guys were treating Fulanis as if they were not Nigerians just because the President is a Fulani. You have now shifted your hatred to the Yorubas because of Tinubu, but you expect love in return. I told my fellow Yorubas this would happen, but they didn't believe me. Now, most are coming to their senses about who their true enemies are. Well, you can cry all you want. We will continue to change the names of streets in our land to reflect our heritage. Anyone who doesn't like it can move away. Lagos is Yoruba land and everything in Lagos must reflect our heritage and culture. |

MufasaLion:You didn't read what the poster said clearly, you guys are now fast selling your ancestral lands and property bcus of Owambe. Awon ala tenu je shior |
| Re: Renaming Streets: A Cosmetic Change Without Cultural Protection (Opinion) by Kalulu44: 8:32pm On Aug 01, 2025 |
Hahahaha, I laugh in Swahili. Lagos is never a no man's land but the indigenes are already making so by selling away their ancestral lands and properties and relocating to far away Ogun state just like the op said. Owambe parties has finished so many Yorubas that they have sold many of their inheritance away. |

The people stocking the embers of ethnic lunacy in Lagos are mostly from kwara. These fellas can’t say piim in kwara where a Fulani is their overlord but they ran to Lagos and became agents of mischief. |
