Yoruba United States..
What does that even mean?!
It means it is the only Yoruba state that was founded collectively by Yorubas from other states..

This is why Lagos have places like Abule Egba(colony of the Egbas) or Abule Ijesa(colony of the Ijesas).. It means the ancestors of these indigenous Lagosians migrated from places like Ogun and Osun State to create these towns from scratch when they were still deep forests with zero inhabitants... It is the same creation pattern for other places like Ikorodu, Epe, Ikate etc

That is how the first set of indigenous people everywhere in the world created every single geographical settlement existing in the world as long as they do not meet inhabitants there.

There is no place in the world where all the first set of indigenous inhabitants descended from heaven.. They all migrated from somewhere else in the ancient time.

What actually conferred the indigene status on them is the efforts of their ancestors in developing the place from scratch when it was still a thick forest before being joined gradually by other inhabitants..

You people should allow Lagos be now.
I'm Igbo, but this idea of trying to enforce Lagos is a no mans land is becoming shameful.
We can have a Lagos in South East.
Moveittothem:
So, it's okay for someone from Ekiti state to become a governor in Lagos state, but someone from Lagos state can't be a governor in Ekiti State? grin

This confirms that Lagos is truly a no-mans-land, albeit, for yoruba people.

Fair enough.

Lagos was built from Biafra resources during when it was capital of Nigeria

This leaches is never going to allow Lagosians breath, I will start to take them seriously when they show me a Lagosians who was one Governor of Kwarra, Osun, Oyo, Ogun, Ekiti and Ondo, please allow Lagos to breath

Why can’t you people develop another in Osogbo if Yoruba really develop Lagos
Re: Lagos Is Yoruba United States — Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu by EmekaBlue(m): 3:35pm On Oct 30, 2025
Lagos remains a no man's land owned by all, when the time reaches it would be shared accordingly
Re: Lagos Is Yoruba United States — Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu by DeLaRue:
If you are from far away Ondo or Ekiti and you enter a government office in Lagos, as long as you can speak yoruba or mix it with English, nobody asks if you are from Ikorodu or isale eko.

If per chance your conversation moves in that direction and you say you are from Abeokuta, Akure, or Ibadan, you will not be treated any different. There is even a chance you will be greeted more cheerfully as awon 'ara Ibadan', ' ara Ondo' etc followed jokingly by 'Ki le mu wa fun wa' (what did you bring for us).

Everyone in the SW looks to Lagos as a common property, even those who have never visited the state. Make no mistake, they will travel down to defend Lagos if the time ever comes.

Lagos is to the SW what London is to England, or Paris to France. Full stop.

The Permanent Secretary, Office of Drainage Services and Water Resources in Lagos State, Mahmood Adegbite, has said that people drilling borehole in the Lekki axis of the state is probably drinking ‘’shit water.”

While speaking at a stakeholders meeting in the state recently, Adegbite noted that contaminated boreholes in Lekki pose health risk and added that treatment of waste water would eradicate any form of disease that may arise from it.

He said, “On waste water treatment, I will say that everyone digging borehole within the Lekki axis is probably drinking what I will call ‘shit water.’

This is a grand plot spearheaded by non indigenous Lagos Yoruba for them to dominate indigenous Lagos Yoruba in their own state.

The only one moment a true Lagos indigene was elected the Speaker of Lagos State House of Assembly, it was swiftly revised and even some indigenous traditional rulers who supported the move were sanctioned and later forgiven when they kowtowed once again in total submission.

Why is Badagry treated like an orphan in Lagos State? When will a true Lagos Indigene: an Awori, an Egun, an indigenous Egba or Ijebu become Lagos State Governor instead of people from other states? So many questions.

God never sleeps.
Fashola and Sanwo-Olu are from where?

Igbos are not your problem. Believe! You only choose to pick on a soft target while the Fulanis keep dealing with you all. Cowards!
Hyperventilate all you want. Your insults means nothing and only displays the precise unreasonable character that makes all, from Accra to Joburg and Lagos, view you.lot as insidious.

Fulanis, Hausa, Edo, Chamba, Itsekiri are the one's who dedicate all their efforts to fighting and denigrating their Yoruba host in Lagos or always in pain when Yorubas take decisions?

Anywhere in the world, those who assimilate with others wherever they go, rather than seek domination of all else with your obsession with being 'top Dogs ' everywhere, are welcomed and loved.

Go and call Ghanaians cowards also because they were protesting and specifically saying they don't want Igbos in Ghana after your brother, as other Nigerians are not doing, overstepped his boundary.

This is to tell you questioning Oyo, ondo, ekiti and Osun states people in Lagos, telling them they do not have a say in Lagos, they should go their states.
Lagos states is generally Yoruba United state. And attack by other tribes against any Yoruba people/person in Lagos state is an attack on all Yorubas largely

I don't care about the Yorubas, I'm more concerned about the Ibos. We should do better and move on.
This issues are not actually helping the image of the Igbo race. It's one of the reasons while minority groups in the south are finding it difficult aligning with the igbos.

What is your business in Yoruba matter? Indigenous Yorubas are complaining to you? Better face your region to accept and prepare for the inevitable future of greater regional autonomy.

By the way Sanwo-olu was speaking at the South-West Citizen–Government Engagement Summit in Akure on Wednesday organised by the DAWN commission.

https://dawncommission.org/

Pretty sure you people don't have anything like it. Go and learn about their work to know Yorubas have gone far in their determination to utilise regional integration to develop every State of the region as one homogenous and evenly developed Zone.

Think matters through to understand whether it is under such an agenda Yoruba Lagos indigenes and Yoruba non-Lagos indigene would still matter.

Your divisive post only shows how backwards you guys are in comparison to Yorubas and I feel sorry for you because it is myopic people like you who get overtaken by events with horrendous consequences.
Re: Lagos Is Yoruba United States — Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu by Onlinetutor7: 3:48pm On Oct 30, 2025
Igbos are the reason while Lagos is thriving today, but the truth remains that "It's a Yoruba Land".
