Ok. Omo eko plenty for here. So what should we do about that?

ADC will not downgrade itself in Lagos by choosing Gbadebo. Funso Doherty is our man in Lagos

Though they now claim Lagosians, but the Doherty family is originally from Ilaro Town which is in today's Ogun State

No descendants of osu would amount to anything in Yorubaland politics . I’m sure Chinedu Vivor is on this thread too.
Yorubas have taken a stand and it is final

There is no way in hell that another man from another state will govern Lagos after 2027.

That year will mark the turn of a new leaf in the politics of Lagos state.

GRV is the incoming. The man is detribalized and will welcome everyone else into Lagos without screaming RoNu or "they want to take over our land"

Dey jonz...

His people ain't close-minded or tribalistic (esp comparatively). He fell for the political gimmick of his opponents. He caught the bait coz he is simple.
Not diff from "Christian take back your country" "Muslim Muslim rhetoric"... it's what politicians do. The job of a politician is to ensure none sticks to him/her.

No ,he strongly believed that the votes of the Igbos and other non-indigenes plus anti -Tinubu Yorubas would give him victory.

On a deeper level, one can see that he has veiled contempt for the Yoruba people, going by nany of his posts on Social Media.

Trap don catch 20k per post people. They don't want to show up here.

That's more like Tinubu story, despite that Tinubu was still accepted, if what you wrote here is the true story of gbadebo using the Tinubu precedent he is still a Lagosian even though your assertion is a lie from the pit of hell, because during the bohaha of the last election, the father of gbadebo and mother who are still alive have come out to put the record straight and debunk all these veil lies

Gbas, gbos

yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Ojiofor:
Davido said he is Igbo too so what's the big deal?
Awww the Adelekes are Igbos like Vivour from the ruling house of Osun state,😅

Davido can claim to be anything, that is own cup of tea but the Senator Raji Ayoola Adeleke ,the father of the incumbent Governor of Osun State and the late Balogun of Ede was an aristocratic Yoruba man.

Story for the gods. Lagosian don't know this boy no need showing any picture he knows where he belong and who is his biological father is so all this story is not adding up at all.

obonujoker:
Before you come here to type your usual 20k per post trash, kindly show us any picture of Tinubu family as Lagosian.. or any picture of Tinubu as a small boy or family pictures of him.

Thank you

Abi ooo. Àwọn smellows. Tinubu e-raaat on Nairaland😂😂😂

You should take several seats Abeg

See the Family photo of the Gbadebo Rhodes family picture located at Lagos Island.

This is an Historic photo as it shows that Gbadebo Rhodes Vivour is actually an 'omo eko' i.e A true Lagosian.

By 2027 we would be asking Governorship Candidate to show a picture of the family house in Lagos, as it's time for true Lagosians to rule Lagos.

Nothing to Lie with again against Gbadebo.

You're highly uninformed about the REAL history of Eko (Lagos Island). The people you are calling "Omo Eko" or "true Lagosians" are NOT originally indigenes of Lagos Island BUT largely from the Yoruba country interior of Oyo, Egba, Ijesa, Owu, etc. In addition, the classic term "Lagosian" is historically simply used to refer to the indigenes of Lagos Island alone. If you're NOT an indigene of Lagos Island, then you are NOT a Lagosian.

They ONLY settled on Lagos Island from the 1850s and beyond after returning from: Brazil [The royal Alakija family of Egba origin, Candido Da Rocha family of Ijesa origin, Da Costas, Da Silvas, Pinheiros], Cuba, United States via Liberia [The famous Vaughan family of Egba origin and Jackson family], Jamaica, Trinidad [The Mosley family from Oyo], Sierra Leone [Bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther, Herbert Macaulay (Herbert Macaulay is Bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther's grandson born by his biological daughter) and Rev. Samuel Johnson of Oyo origin, The Doherty family (with the political campaign poster ATTACHED of 'Funso Doherty on Page 1 of this thread) are ORIGINALLY descended from Yewa in Ogun State via a male ancestor of royal bloodline who returned with his Ekiti wife from Sierra Leone], etc, after the trans-Atlantic slave trade ended from the mid-1800s and started claiming Lagos Island as their adopted home while others such as the famous Haastrop family of royal Ijesha origin went back to their original Yoruba homelands. A Haastrop is an Oba today in Ijesaland.

The original Yoruba ancestries of this Rhodes-Vivour within the Yoruba country is NOT even very clear. The hyphenated name "Rhodes-Vivour" is simply the combination of two different family names. The Rhodes family section of the Rhodes-Vivour name is descended from a Yoruba female line and Vivor is descended from a male line via Fernando Po via Sierra Leone where he was originally born to a liberated African man from a slave ship whose ethnic origins are still opaque.

Fortunately, the returnees of the 1850s from Brazil, Cuba, Sierra Leone, etc, are largely of various Yoruba origins just like the Aworis who are PURE Yoruba folks originally from Ile Ife and they are the REAL INDIGENES of Eko (Lagos Island) so it was easy for them to finally stay on Lagos Island. In reality, the descendants of the Yoruba returnees from Brazil, Cuba, Sierra Leone, etc, of the 1800s (who were influential and wealthy property owners and moguls) have family compounds or family houses on the Lagos Island or the nearby elite sections of Ebute-Meta, Yaba and Surulere.

Mynd44:
What tires me about this nonsense is that someone who is from Lagos Island will say they are true lagosians forgetting the Aworis, Ijebus, Eguns, Egbas are also Indigenes of Lagos.

So Gbadebo is from Eko. Okay……

Me that I am Awori whose hamlet is at Isale Oja In Ikeja should fry beans abi?

The classic term "Lagosian" is historically ONLY used to refer to the indigenes of Lagos Island alone. "If you're NOT an indigene of Lagos Island, then you are NOT a Lagosian."
I have archival materials, maps and magazines published BEFORE the creation of Lagos State on May 27, 1967, (as part of the 12 new States by General Yakubu Gowon), showing CLEARLY that "Lagosian" is ONLY used to reference indigenes of "Lagos Island!"

The Ijebu indigenes of the 3 Ijebu LGAs of Ikorodu, Epe, Ibeju-Lekki, the Badagry indigenes or the other 17 LGAs of Lagos State that are Awori-dominated are NOT "Lagosians" BUT simply "INDIGENES" of Lagos State. These days, you will find uninformed people [who are NOT even Yorubas BUT ONLY Lagos residents] wrongly calling themselves "Lagosians" and some of the new generation journalists and media outlets are responsible for this disinformation.

Kdon2:
He is not the son of rhides-vivour. He is born to a ibo father but adopted through his mother by the vivour father. Adopted son ni not biological.

Ok. Omo eko plenty for here. So what should we do about that?

ADC will not downgrade itself in Lagos by choosing Gbadebo. Funso Doherty is our man in Lagos[/quote]As far as the person is a Yoruba and doesn't have any IBO wife. ..I will campaign for him....but for Chinedu, he is not a lagosian ,let him go to IBO land to contest for governor

Sowore should help us ask tinubu and all the governors after him, including 30k-stipend batist nairalanders, to prove to us they are Lagos State indigenes.
None can't, because they are fake.

Nah Osuruike like you go tell us who real lagosian is?

last part of the video made me emotional. Do you know when his mother died, dude stayed back in Lagos, could not attend the burial. Just sent a few people there.

Tinubu is from Guinea, his real mother is French that's why he has strong ties with France...let them post Tinubu's childhood photos anywhere in Nigeria to prove this wrong. It was Madam Abibatu Tinubu that adopted Tinubu from Guinea and gave him Bola in place of her daughter Abimbola whom Tinubu stole her certificates.

This is hilarious.

Not exactly. What you have seen his a transliteration of the term "omo Isale Eko" which means an indigene of Lagos island into Lagosian. Only those from Lagos Island are "Omo Eko" where Eko in this instance refers to the islands etc.

The issue is that people started refering Eko to English hence it isn't difficult to here people saying "I am going to Eko" to mean "I am going to Lagos". But when in Lagos state, "I am going to Eko" means Lagos island and ends there.

Lagosians refers to the peoole of the entire state same way Anambarians refers to everyone in Anambra including the Igala minority.

The Aworis cannot say they are "omo eko" and the Eguns cannot say they are "omo eko" but they are ALL Lagosians
