How come only ibos are angry over this harmless statement? You too develop your land so that we all can be rushing there. Na only you dey run from your land as if sey dem dey pursue you. How will you ever get your Biafra that way?
Precisely the point I made about their unreasonable nature. A people who have seen the future, and are looking beyond the hopelessness of 'one Nigeria', gather to discuss and plan ways forward for the people and land of the SW.

Yet it is one set of people angry and cursing. The reason is simple. They are the only folks unreasonable enough to always have an arrogantly expansionist sense of entitlement over the land and decision-making of others in their land because they feel all land is there for them to move to and dominate.

When resisted they begin to fight and insult others. So annoying!!! Are Yorubas, or anyone else for that matter, doing or have ever done similar to them in their Land?

As if they even have the sophistication, tolerance and accommodating character to minimally allow others make unencumbered headway in their region let alone Yorubas etsl develop the overbearing sense of entitlement they show others in Lagos and elsewhere.

Thank you for that question

At least 8 yoruba clans have Ancient Ancestral Territories in lagos State
Complete with their own Traditional Rulers
Awori with the most population,Ijebu , Ilaje,Egba,Egbado,oyo,Owu,ketu,, and in Badagry the Egun.
Every one of them arrived long before Gbadebo Rhodes Enslaved returnee Ancestors

If we tell them a little of the History of yoruba lagos if they have Conscience they will Shut up and beg for Forgiveness

There were Yorubas in lagos long before Oduduwa was born

When 1st Ijesha king was sent to moba, Lagos to fetch Oduduwa sea Water in 10th Century
,he met 5th ijebu king on Throne!! Yes
1,2,3,4,5th ijebu king in the 10th Century O !!!

Lekki in Lagos is Ijebuland!!!!
moba is next to Lekki

The ijebu king gave him the guides to take him to moba
after he had previously lost his way to moba at Okun Ajah all in today’s Lagos !!
moba itself had had more than 10 kings already
The Igbore clan of the Egba also has moba Ancestors who were still living on
Lagos Lagoon until the early 18th Century when power drunk Af0nja at Ilorin created big big problems
For entire Yorubaland that sent everyone fleeing to the Mountains and to the Rocks for Refuge
That was how they ended up in Abeokuta

The first Ijesha king spent 2 months at moba near koyi Lagos
The Otun Ekiti are descended from the moba people of Lagos
and Oore Otun Ekiti is directly descended from the moba kings

That is why the Ijesha Kings till today have the Title
“Owa Obokun” ( He came back after fetching Sea Water)
That Sea Water was fetched at moba on the Lekki Peninsula and was carried
to Oduduwa at Ile Ife
Yes!!!

Don’t drag people’s God given Ancient Ancestral Heritage it is offensive
Even God Almighty will fight you back
Stop forcing yourself on Lagos indigenes, they deserve freedom and chance to rule their ancestry land, go and develop Osun or Oyo state like Lagos

That one is a lie. Cam a lagosian go and assume control in Ekiti? Make una slow down naaa allow the real indigenous Lagosians to breathe.
All Yorubas are indigenous to Lagos but they must salute Aworis who came first.The sweet part of it is that Ife is where most Yorubas migrated from including those in Brazil etc.
You saw the recent data posted of how Yorubas migrated to Lagos.
Almost all recent States were there...Ijebus,Ekitis,Ilorins,Egbas,Ijeshas etc

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? Funso William, Musuliu Obanikoro, Jimi Agbaje, etc. were all frustrated. Why should non indigenous Yoruba have access t opportunities in both their true State of Origin and Lagos while Lagos Indigenes eat crumbs in their own state. So many questions.

God never sleeps.
The current speaker is Egba from Lagos.
It's glaring you do not understand Lagos politics.
The Miranda stuff was a case of Egba vs Awori (both Yoruba) power play.

You would find similar power play between the Ijebu and Egba in Ogun state. Same way as we saw in last Edo state election, Or in Adamawa state.

Sanwo pls tell them and say it louder!!!

I told my people that SW are systematically building their future Oduduwa Republic Capital City called Lagos like play like play becase they already knew at a point in future Nigeria might break so its those lousy arrogant ones who will be crying then because the time and energy to use to be building their own capital city they are wasting it to run insult, tribalism and hatred.

E go red for everybody las las.

I WAS BREAD AND BROUGHT UP IN OJO AMONG THE AWORIES, THE AWORIES AND THE EGUNS WILL REFER PREFER SINGING THE PRAISES OF THEIR SETTLERS YORUBA’S WHO ARE IN POWER THAN TO ASPIRE TO BE A LEADER IN THEIR OWN STATE.

How many Lagosians has been governor of Ekiti, Ondo, Ogun, Osun, kwarra and Oyo states? Please use your sense
If they migrated from Lagos and become governors because they were born in Ondo,Osun,Kwara,Ogun etc...if they claim to have come from these states because their families have been there for generations,how would you know?

I checked UME enrollment by state of origin and discovered Lagos has the lowest number of indigenes in the SW. If not for migration Oyo will be the most populated state in the country and not Lagos. Lagos is really a melting point

Except if you are from Lagos State, i do not think this should bother you.


It seems as if you would prefer other Tribes to be able to Govern Lagos State.


There are certain utterances one should not make because it makes one sound jealous and covetous.


And it is gaslighting 101.

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.
Exactly Yoruba (everywhere) are ONE.

All I can see in his statement,is of a people who are insecured,we are all witnesses to the billions of dollars of Nigerian money Tinubu is channeling to Lagos state,far above the entire money marked out for some regions,in few years they Yorubas will still claim that those projects were done by them and not FG.
The posters above claimed they built Lagos which was a former capital of Nigeria,just like Abuja is now.Probably in few years time the Gwari man will tell us how he built Abuja.
I keep asking Yorubas that usually twist history to suit their narratives,why not build another Yoruba state,may be Ekiti,Osun,Ondo etc since you built Lagos,why are you afraid to build other states.
grin NwOSU, stop crying. How much of those money came from your 5plot of unproductive potopoto region? Sw is still the highest contributor of non oil revenue with Cocoa leading the highest non oil exports from Nigeria. Other non oil revenue such as vat are generated from Lagos and other SW state accounting for the rest.

And when we talk of oil revenue, Ondo is an oil producing state and it produces more crude than what is being generated from your region. So please tells us what is your contribution to the federation revenue account?

And talking about building another state like Lagos. Ibadan is the biggest city in west Africa and a city of many first with so much achievements to its name than you can find anywhere in your region and today it is still far more developed and more economically viable than your 5plot of potopoto land, numbers don’t lie NwOSU btw I’m proudly from lagos grin
