Gerhards:
It's our business because Lagos does not belong to Yorubaland

BATified2023:

Antoeni:
This one Dey Ment, Yoruba Don't Own Lagos,
Benin Own Lagos

BATified2023:
but y is it your business as an Ibo man?

Are u not proud of where u can me from?

Y are u more concerned about what happens in other places than what happens in your region?

Benzigler:
Ok, do we agree Lagos belong to Awori, Ewe, and Benin people? Yorubaland is not part of Lagos, please get it into your skull, thanks

festacman:
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 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.

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?

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

Fair enough.

Gerhards:
My advice for you and your people is to go and develop Modakeke or Iragbiji to Lagos level and all this issue will die natural death

Irony1:
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.

That should not be our business as Anambra people. We are just taking panadol for another man's headache. No one cares if someone from Umuleri starts claiming Enugu or Owerri

KingDashx:
Yoruba United States..
What does that even mean?!

Moveittothem:
I said no man's land for Yoruba people.

Don't you understand it?

Can someone from Lagos or Osun state go to Ogun State and become a governor?

Honestly I don't care who becomes governor there.
But the bottom line is that Lagos has no territorial heritage.
It has no history, just like USA.

Gerhards:
We got Gas, Coal, oil etc, oya name the resources taken from Yoruba land?

Streetinvestor2:
Which state are u from

Gerhards:
Yoruba decide what? what has Lagos got to do with Yoruba? How many times do you want Oba Akiolu to repeat what he said?

Benzigler:
I know how heavy your heart is right now, please stop pretending Omo Iya

lagonovo:
Very simple arithmetic - Hausas, Edos, Ijaws, Tivs, name it- they are all proud of their homelands so Lagos, in Yoruba land, is not their business . That’s how it works with normal people

EmekaBlue:
Lagos remains a no man's land owned by all, when the time reaches it would be shared accordingly

ibedun:
From Lagos State - Farombi Family who owns the land the international airport (MMA) is sitting on. That was my great grandfather’s farm. Of Egba origin . Remember most of Lagos state was carved out of what we call ogun State today.

Reason for your question?

AlphaTaikun:
The Farounbis of the Isolo/Mafoluku area of Lagos State are of Egba origin? The MMIA was your great grandfather's farmland which MUST have been very big. That's historically interesting. Indeed, over 95% of what is NOW Lagos State was carved out of the Old Western Region (in what is now largely Ogun State) on May 27,1967 by General Yakubu Gowon's military government after due consultations with the traditional rulers and indigenes. The major industries of the Old Western Region set up by Chief J. Obafemi Awolowo, GCFR, SAN, from the 1950s such as the Ikeja Industrial Estate, the Ilupeju Industrial Estate, the Iganmu Industrial Estate with finished products made to be exported are now located in Lagos State since 1967 due to the boundary adjustments.

Is "Farombi" the correct spelling or "Farounbi."

WizardOfNG:
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.

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.

Kano is Hausa people united state
IBO people should also focus on Anambra

But can someone from Ekiti go to Ogun state and become a Governor?
