But his NL warriors always differed each time I told them ahead of the 2023 election that he's not originally from lagos. Now that the coast is clear, that Oyetola is his brother and from same town and family, and same was the head of alpha beta, Tinubu's tax company here in lagos before becoming a sponsored osun governor, and now that Tinubu is giving back to his roots by moving the federal university of agriculture to his town of Iragbiji instead of either Ekiti or Lagos, they have been keeping quiet.

If you're being deceived but you dont know, it's ok. But when you know you're being deceived but still don't care, then, there's a problem.

So they are confirming that Tinubu is not whom we think he is?

This one come resemble better stylishly polished atomic bomb against the number I enemy of legit hustling Nigerians oo 😁😁.

Well what me I know is that,our omoluabis in Iragbiji and Osun State are on ground already to teach Nigerians this two lessons by rejecting with all power and might what We have at hand right now.
1)Bad governance doesn't have mouth to start asking you which Tribe or Religion You come from.
2)Get serious with your life and stop showing the World your illiteracy and shame SECURITY is the primary responsibility of a govt,any govt that fails woefully to secure their Country should be rejected at the polls immediately. This will send a clear message to others who have plans to toll the line of utter cluelessness as regards to security,they swore an Oath to deliver, stupidity is to make excuses for them.

Osun State is one of the most educated States in Nigeria. Check the most educated States in Nigeria 2023 see who and who rejected bad governance.

So TINUBU is from Osun state ?

Keep out of things you do not undnerstand. You are not yoruba. You don’t understand the roots and relationships of the Yorubas.

Yayi has been a senator in Lagos and Ogun, he will be the next governor of Ogun.

Since “Lagos”. was expanded into a state it brought people from other parts of yoruba land into “Lagos state”. Ikorodu, Lekki, Epe etc are ijebus, Abule Egba are people from Abeokuta, Abule Ijesha are people from Ilesha. a man can have ancestral roots in Ogun state and be a Lagos indigene. similar relationships exists with people from Oyo, Osun etc. I have ancestral roots in 3 possibly 4 yoruba states. Every yoruba is from Ife. No Ibo is yoruba.

There are indigenous Lagosians who originate from the Nupe in Niger state as they shared a boundary with old Oyo empire. Such relationships and does not exist and can never apply to an Ibo because no Ibo is ever a yoruba. We have never shared a boundary with you. We did not know of your existence or interact with you until recently. There are some people of the SS that can trace their ancestry or families to Lagos or other yoruba states, similarly like I said some Nupe people. Such does not and can never apply to an Ibo. Our history never intertwined, our cultures and values are total opposite. We have nothing in common except Nigeria.

An Ibo can never be an indigene of Lagos or yorubaland. You can only ever be an Ibo residing in the SW.

I. Suggest you mind your business.

Adesolomon2014:
Pls who are the real owners of Lagos State?
There are other relevant questions to ask not the above which you are asking.

Thanks

Awori and Ijebu Yorubas. Both groups are originally from Ile-Ife in present day Osun state.

Bigchris01:
Tinubu is from Osun state everybody knows that very well he can’t deny that, you are the person who doesn’t know 😂😂😂

Exactly. Everyone knows that he was adopted by Mama Tinubu.

You are correct. Iju Ishaga from Ishaga Orile in Ogun state. Ikoyi from Ikoyi in Oyo state and so on.

Even the Saros and Agudas are from various parts of Yorubaland. Like the crowther originally from Oyo. The Doherty originally from Ilaro. The Cokers from Abeokuta e.t.c

Many of these expansionists hear Lagos and don’t realize colonial Lagos is different from Lagos state. Lagos state was created by annexing other parts of the yoruba western region. 92% of current land mass of Lagos state was never part of old Lagos but indigenous Yorubas from the western region and was never known as Lagos until 1967. These people who have roots from all over yorubaland suddenly became part of the new state called Lagos. That’s why someone from Osun can be a Governor in Lagos. If I recall correctly it was said Ambode had origins in Ondo or Ekiti but also Epe.

His mum is from Epe (Lagos) and his dad from Ondo.

Current deputy governor's late dad's mum was from Ewekoro in Ogun state. The dad even became an Oba there in Ewekoro via maternal line.

My part of Lagos, Ifako Ijaiye used to be part of western region and when states were created, some of my cousins were cut off into Ajuwon (Ogun state).

This casual argument is neither geographically or historically correct.

Lagos State is different from Lagos island that has the Iga Idugaran palace of the Oba of Lagos just as Ondo State is different from Ondo town.

There are indigenous peoples of the Western region LGA equivalent of divisions that were merged with Lagos island/ FCT to create Lagos State in 1967.

Not all the indigenous peoples are Yoruba, since we have Egun people of Badagry in the state who were part of the defunct Western region. The Oba of Lagos and many indigenous people of Lagos island have Bini ancestry.



https://guardian.ng/sunday-magazine/lagos-oba-traces-origin-to-benin/


In this regard, Yoruba states like Ondo, Ekiti, Oyo and Osun that are not contiguous with Lagos cannot have their sub-tribes as part of the indigenous peoples of Lagos State.

Ogu are settlers just like the Yewas, Saros, Egbas, Egbados e.t.c even though the Ogus are originally from Ife as claimed by the Akran of Badagry in a recent interview.

Their route was from ife to Ghana, then found their way back to Benin republic. The dahomean wars and aggression made them settle in Awori and Egbado lands in both in Lagos and Ogun state.

The first nations of present day Lagos are Aworis Yorubas and Ijebu Yorubas.

As per Oba of Lagos. Asipa, the father of Ado (first Oba of Lagos) is Awori while the mother is Benin.
Erelu Kuti also married and Ijesha babalawo of her father. Therefore, their ancestry has since moved to Ijesha (Ilesha) as well.

Right!
Hiding gun and knife in your pant while lecturing others on staying away from dangerous weapons is the name of your game.

That post was not the beginning of the subject. Clearly current ondo, ekiti, Oyo and Osun states could never have been annexed to form Lagos state. I never said so. Common sense…….

I was trying to explain how different Yorubas from different parts of Yoruba land can be valid Lagosians now that “Lagos” had been expanded into a state. And how someone who has roots from a yoruba state other than Lagos can also be a valid Lagos state indigine.

The annexation to form Lagos state was just one and explained how the Ijebu SS and egbas for example became part of Lagos state.

I also talked about Yorubas from Places like ilesha etc who had settled in places like Abule ijesha would explain how an ilesha man would be a lagosian.

It is a casual discussion . I wasn’t attempting to write a detailed history Ph.D thesis on a Thursday night not that I am even capable of a detailed history. I was merely attempting to explain to these expansionists who don’t know the history of the Yorubas that there are many routes by which Yorubas from other states can also be Lagosians. The example of Ambode explains places like Ondo and Ekiti. Even the Egbas fled from Oyo, Ibadan was a war camp for (amongst others) people from Oyo and Ife. Adebayor the footballer is from Togo but also from Osun state. We have Yorubas in Togo, Ghana before states and countries were created.

The point is that there are many routes by which a man can have roots in other yoruba states and be a valid Lagosian. And people who do t know or bother to know our history should mind their own business.

Yorubas left from Ife, over time they spread across yoruba land. Depending on the path your ancestors took, it’s not a surprise to find an indigine of any state in yorubaland being also a Lagosian by ancestry with the expanded Lagos state.

Point noted about the Egun. I had forgotten about them but them like I said there are ilaje, Nupe who are historical Lagosians. The Oba of Lagos is from Benin, same way the people of Benin are indigenous Benin people but their Obas are from Ife. We have ancestral roots with the itshekiris and some others. However no such historical interaction, contact or connection even by trade exists with the Ibos.

Even the nupes have been Yorubanized. Their are tapa families on the island and mainland that are elegun.
The beauty of the Yoruba is that it absorb people.
The soun of Ogbomosho too were ancestrally baribas from Borgu but are now fully Yorubas just like the tapas in Lagos.

Laughable.

You are free to praise yourself but it is stupid to attempt to denigrate everyone else while doing so. The funniest part is that you are (unintentionally) putting yourself down in the senseless attempt to insult everyone else. Which self respecting individual would describe himself and other members of his ethnicity as a 'tribe' in 2025?

Some of you (and you can be found in every ethnicity) play this foolish, sillly 'tribal' politics on this platform 24/7 without realizing that it utterly diminishes you and everything you claim to stand for.

I shouldn't even have bothered. I should have allowed you to fool yourself with that daft description you gave up there - only an idiot would use the phrase 'civilized tribe' without a hint of irony - while attempting to insult everyone else.

As coomon street slang would put it: "congratulations, you just played yourself".

Do you know where Yorubas left from, to get to Ife? Or where Igbo people left from to get to where they identify as their ancestral homeland?
