Lol, I knew you must end up insulting. You guys can't hide hate. We were both discussing the progress of the Igbos in Lagos, but somehow, you started getting bitter. From pitying me to hating me. You guys tribalism is glorious.

Nwaikpe:
Funny that you are making claims over facts.

"Lagos division."



Where do you think the name Lagos came from?

I guess you don't know it came from the people who started the town and made it Portuguese.

So, a people lived there, had a city, and didn't have a name? What is Eko? Why didn't the Protuguese see it and call it Eko if it ever existed?

Softmirror:
Lol 😂. You can't gas light me. I even made bold you comment which lol 😂. Was a joke, I would have called it an insult though but it made me laugh while trying to make you reason deep.

It wasn't an insult but a sincere advice. You will only be digging in vain lol. 😁

tctrills:
Not new, almost every community in the world welcomes others. The people of Abuja, for example, or you can talk about the US, which takes in millions of people each year. There is nothing incredible about that. In my village, we have a few Yoruba people. That's how life is meant to be. I also know landlords in Lagos that don't rent to Igbo so the hostility goes both ways. Bad human behavior is not restricted to any tribe.

OredoPikin2:
u can continue lying to yourself
if u can reason without emotion, ask yourself why till today, the oba of lagos always claim Benin root and ancestry.
ask ur parent about Prince Ado. the first Oba of Lagos.
ask ur people where Ashipa came from.

Schlumeinstein:
Let me state in strong SOUTH SOUTH is NIGER DELTA.......there will never be anything like biafiaa....we don't and will never ASSOCIATE with igbotic biafraas or whatsoever u call it because OUR FORE FATHER REJECTED IT...

tctrills:
Lol, you are trying to advise us to leave Lagos. No thanks. We are very good where we are. Thank you, but no. Each year, a larger slice of the city becomes ours, so don't expect us to go any time soon. We are your neighbors for all eternity.

masterfactor:
The people that called LAGOS a no mans land was not even part of the Lagos right from inception. People from the south East has no history with people from the South West.

Ttalk:
Pls show me the population of the Igbo there or I won't accept it

FreeStuffsNG:
I am enlightening you to the deliberate intention of my forebears to build a sustainable homeland based on hospitality to strangers and you are trying to make it look like it's a common thing. Smh.

Hell No! It's not common. Hosting strangers is a matter of live in your region and most of those places you mentioned.
Some of them practice osu that perpetually segregate against some of their fellow villagers while most parts of your region practice feisty human cannibalism.
Check out the map of cannibalism in Nigeria as at that time.

Ttalk:
Lagos is a common name that bound the people together, Eko and other names have been in existence and will still continue to be.

Lagos is named after the state that is why it is called Lagos state, we still retain òye names, Eko, Epetedo, Isheri, Epe etc

Toluwanise247:
The igbo’s don’t exist then ?

forgiveness:
Ashipa is an Awori man. He went to Benin and married the daughter of Benin. Ado is the child born by both that later became King.

After Ado mother died, he requested a town in Remo to bring Eyo masquerade to celebrate the burial of his mother and that was how Eyo masquerade came to Lagos.

I don't need to ask anybody because that is our history. You can't change it.

chatinent:
That means that the people who claim to own Lagos today are not even from Lagos!

Hell No! It's not common and has never been common. Some people cannibalize on strangers. Hosting strangers is a matter of life and death in your region then and most of those places you mentioned.

It is comment like this that made us withdraw the privilege you enjoy, before now the ruling party in Lagos used to give you slot in HoA and HoR and position of Vice chairman but all that has stopped and any Local government chairman and other elected representative that allowed any of you to win any election in Lagos state has ended his career.

The reforms have stated already, don't just cry when it hits you

GeneralOuki:
It was a Yoruba man that called it a No man's land.

Nwaikpe:
But it is clear that everyone there was from different places.
Meaning there is absolutely nothing like "Lagosian" but a confederation of people from different places.


Abi you decided to overlook the stats and just make a comment?

Lukuluku69:
Like I said earlier, technically, no one owns anywhere, but people can claim ancestry over a place they have been over a period.

You have the example of the Fulani sojourn in Kwara. Yes, they came, were pushed back, but eventually settled in that space, and if you go there till today, you will see the line between the earlier people and the Fulanis. That the Fulanis seeing yourself as aliens in a space is not the same as saying no one owns the space.

And everyone traded in Slaves, the degree is the difference. Everyone does. Also, the Brits and the Portuguese find it harder to move in the Savanah and the Coasts than the thick Forest of the hinterland of the east and they never operated the city states of the Hausa/Nupe/Yoruba Kingdoms, so there was no need to sell rival city/Kingdoms citizens as slaves. Didn't they have the Outcasts amongst them or labelled some as Outcasts?

Ttalk:
Stops lying his comment about Lagos is in internet for and educate yourself, parading a doctored story won't change anything

Nwaikpe:


Ok. Oga. Thank you, sir.


But sha, the meaning of Lagos, which is in Nigeria, is the translation of the word "lagoon" in Portuguese.

It doesn't mean any people. It simply means a place where the Portuguese traded business with West Africa.

No people existed there.

Ttalk:
What's the meaning of this nonsense. I Lagosian and our history revolves around water, the culture, food and story has so much connection with water.

How dare you tell the story of the people you are not part of, this insult is becoming nauseating and if you are given appropriate response now that's when mod will active ban.

Never ever should you speak about people culture and heritage you don't know anything about

OredoPikin2:
lolz
who are the parents of Ashipa in Awori?
or Ashipa fell from the sky or trekked from saudi arabia like oduduwa lies u were told

just tell me the parent of Ashipa in Awori
and also tell me the name of the daughter of Oba of Benin he married
meanwhile, if you can or cant provide all these, know say u nor dey think.
una go just dey twist history as if the people u are talking to doesnt think like you.

in Benin i will not only tell you who Ashipa parents were, i will tell u the great grand father to the over 32 generations before him

Kingluqman:
Yeast nor dey this data

Nwaikpe:
"I Lagosian..."



Ogbeni doesn't even know that the word "Lagos" is not Yoruba. He is claiming a place that never existed. It's just like the people living in Bonny Island, who moved there to work as manual staffs for the oil companies, in 50 years time, claiming to be Bonnarian.


There was no story.
Don't craft anything. Or you could do so and make it sound the way Palestinians craft theirs as well.

Ttalk:
Pls show me the population of the Igbo there or I won't accept it
