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 to 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.
This is where we the indigenes suffer. Ever since Tinubu became the governor, the indigenes have become third class citizens.

Not Nigeria's united state but yoruba united state,and yet you depend on other ethnicities to pay tax and develop the state while your young mens mostly engage in menacing activities,touts and chasing bus drivers up and down the state

Non Lagos Yoruba enjoy political opportunities in Lagos and enjoy in their state too. But a Lagos Yoruba does not have that opportunity.


Ogbeni for example.

You just told a bunch of lies about Lagos, stop talking about what you don’t know and mind your own damn business.

First of, you met the entire Yorubaland as Lagos and shrinking it to a state or town or street by military subdivision takes nothing from the land as a whole. The indigenes of Lagos are Yoruba.

Badagry was a port of entry and a new town as many parts of Lagos, its perfect the way it is, emigration and overpopulation are the problem Lagos has. Ambode is Ijebu for example, but every Yoruba is entitled to be governor of Lagos no matter his or her village. All the names you mentioned are not more Lagos than others you consider outsiders, infact those you consider outsiders might be the Lagos natives driven out of Lagos by colonialists for the new people to settle and take over.

Of course God will protect Lagos for Yoruba. We welcome everyone but we know the history of the land, stay off Lagos topic if you’re not Yoruba.

Oga stop deceiving yourself. No Lagosian can even contest for councilor position in Oyo. These lies os just because Lagos has been big because of the Federal capital being there before now. In the 70s none of you gave a damn about Lagos oooo. Ibadan was the place for you guys.
so how is that an Ibo man's business?

Oga stop living in denial Nigeria is divided along state lines politically. If you are not from Lagos, then you are not a Lagosian. You cannot twist that fact. All this we are one is all scope to tap into Lagos state resources for your own selfish desires and not for the people.
We know their game and plans over Lagos because Osun, Ogun, Oyo, Ekiti and Ondo states are useless with no resources. Some will come here to claim ijaw oil in Ondo states. This is real definition of leaching

Where you not the one that said "Resident of Lagos"?

I started listing residents of Lagos that eventually became governors in another state.

Are the Yorubas you mentioned, indigen of Lagos state? No.

So rest, you just want to be half-smart.

He is absolutely right.. grin grin grin

Every great city in the world celebrates its founders ( heritages), Why should lagos be different?

Saying lagos is the yoruba united states (YUS) is just a reminder that before lagos becomes a megacity..... .It was yoruba land.

Yoruba people built it,. but they share it with everyone

So, let's thank the yoruba people
Yoruba did not build anything, it was built up by the Europeans. That was the Europeans colonial sit of power for more than a century

Lagos didn't start with the Europeans-----They only expanded what they met... The Aworis and other Yoruba groups had built thriving settlements.. trade and leadership long before the colonial rule.

Lagos become a megacity doesn't erase its Yoruba roots, it only proves how strong those roots are.

oga every settlements in the pre colonial Nigeria had thriving settlements, trade and leadership before the Europeans arrived. But in the case of Lagos, it's urbanisation and modernisation all are attributed to the European influence which lasted for more than a century.

What Lagos have is population and a leadership that has the common sense to tax the population to such an extent that they can survive without federal allocations. Any state could have done it. Was it Europeans that forced mass migration to Lagos even after it stopped being the fct?
