grin this is a good initiative from Lagos the centre of excellence. I can already see hordes of economic migrants from across the Niger crying out their eyes out occupying the first page…every news about Lagos Yorubaland makes them green with envy. We don’t share ancestry, customs, traditions, language nor do we share border, but they have made themselves the mouth piece and spokeperson of the people from Lagos grin they even know our history more than they know their own history….as a Yoruba man of the Egba extraction from Lagos I say this is a welcome development even though I as a person and indigene haven’t benefited anything from the state govt though my sister benefited from the bursary in lasu during her days as a law student. I hope this will be beneficial to the larger indigenous people at large eko oni baje oo grin

Bad market for all those Ogun, Oyo and Osun people claiming Lagos 😂

We said it that time will come that the true indigines of Lagos will be separated from chaffs from other south west states claiming Yoruba is one .

Who told you that Yoruba is one?

If you're not an indigine of Lagos, you don't have the right to claim you're from Lagos. Infact, you're no different from the Chinedu from Enugu and Ahmed from Kano living in Lagos.
I've been campaigning for this for years and it's a welcome development and a shame for the no man's land crew. This is just the beginning. Lagos is the United States of the Yorubas. It's easier for an Adelabu or Osunkemi from igbokoda or Ijebu ode to claim indigenship of lagos than okechukwu from Agulu village. I don't need to say more than that. This is one of the take aways from the last meeting of Yoruba Governors. Let the no man's land crew continue to irritate their host. More laws are coming to reset your brain. Now that Ondo is becoming the next investment destination in Nigeria after lagos, with the new privately owned refinery, the second largest in Africa after Dangote, the first methanol factory in Nigeria, free trade zone, incoming lagos -Calabar Superhighway passing through Ondo Coastline, privately owned Sea port under construction, and one of the most peaceful communities in Africa, i will suggest the Ondo Government borrow a leaf from lagos before the no man's land crew arrives in Ondo. Ondo has the largest coastline in West Africa.

indigine-ship is useless while residency is everything. Residency is both your passport to demand services and accountability from govt and is your obligation to pay taxes and obey the laws of the state.

Wait where are the AWON , AWA LAGOS VREW from Ogbomosho, ikire, Ijebu itele etc


They have all gone mute! The Igbo aupprt this! We really need to identify real lagosians and those that abandoned their villages to rot
grin NwOSU face your biafla, ijebu people are indigenous to Lagos, so are Egba, awori, Egun, ijesha etc they are all Yoruba sub groups from other part of Yorubaland, so what does it matter to you? Are they not all Yorubas? Btw I’m proudly a yorubaman of Egba extraction from Lagos, before you start crying grin

Re: Lagos Launches Digital Indigeneship Certificate by DelilahMakinde(f): 9:01am On Nov 14, 2025
Most people of Yoruba land have mixed and intermarired with Awori and other indigene groups for centuries.
Why are some people getting so excited 😆.
You won't develop high BP over Lagos and Yoruba.

Say Amen.

..you have said the real intention of Lagos state in conjuction with using a yorubs man at the Federal level to bring tribalism, parapoism, nepotism & bigotry into Lagos state.. grin grin

..when other state embark on thesame line..i wonder what Nigeria will turn to...

..the actions of the people of SW towards other Nigerians has even shown that they are the ones who want out of Nigeria..they want to be on their own..because their policies & actions against the constitution of one Nigeria proves to that.. grin grin

..but why hiding under one Nigeria to want to be on your own..why not form Oduduwa republic..& make laws as they like.. grin

..they should tell their senators & rep members to push for Oduduwa republic
..afterall they also have tilumbu..their kinsman... grin

..why hiding under one nijeria..to make discriminatory laws..telling Nigerians to go back to their villages...while your politicians are collecting federal allocations & federal constituency funds derived from one Nigeria..

You don't know what you are saying.

You don't know what federation entails

You need to read more books to understand the fundamentals and principles of what a Federation country is all about.

Let me tell you, in a Federation what binds the Federating units together are.

Currency
Federal Army
External affairs

Anything outside that is no longer a federal tenets.

Each federating units can control it
Revenue
Police.
Resources
Internal laws
Education
Health
Etc

Don't get it twisted
Police

It's good


love this... Abuja should start their own and ensure that if you are not a gwari or Hausa north Central you don't get that certificate and work in any government agency in Abuja

River State should start RivCard indigenous certificate and ensure that if you aren't Rivers indigenes and if you don't bear Ijaw, Kalabari, Ikwerre and Rivers Igbo name you don't work in any company in Rivers State be it government sector, oil company etc

And I know you can't bear Femi, Yemi , Akin, Ojo and be an indigenous people of Rivers State ... And this is a good way so the people of Rivers State can actually control their destinies and bring chevron offices back to PH and also oil companies that have offices in Lagos


This is good moves


All states can do this

Let's craze together!
Abi oooo

This is illegal and unconstitutional on a federal level.

The Lagos State Indigeneship Automated Certificate is a sleekly disguised form of digital discrimination.


By institutionalizing “indigene status,” the government effectively divides residents into first-class citizens and others, contradicting the 1999 Constitution’s guarantee of equality and freedom from discrimination (Section 42).

In a cosmopolitan state built by migrants, codifying ancestry into a digital gatekeeper for access to schools, jobs, or benefits is regressive. It risks excluding millions of Lagos-born Nigerians whose families migrated generations ago.

Automation doesn’t sanitize bias, it only makes discrimination more efficient.


The Attorney General of the Federation Lateef Fagbemi should step in and uphold the constitution.

Lagos hosts the most federal assets that belong to all Nigerians, resources paid for with federal allocations, not state funds. Just as Delta has oil wells, Niger State has hydroelectric power serving the entire country, and Kano’s groundnuts once fed all Nigerians in the 1970s, Lagos too benefited from contributions from across the nation.

Did anyone think the Third Mainland Bridge was built solely with Lagos State funds?

For this reason, any discrimination by Lagos against a Hausa, Yoruba,Igbo or any Nigerian citizen is completely unconstitutional.
If push comes to shove (which has already started) we the Yorubas will commence constitutional amendments to introduce restrictions and safeguards to prevent and minimise economic scavengers from other regions (especially the particular loudmouthed one well known to the Yorubas).

Nothing wrong with being an indigene of 4 different geopolitical areas. Just start mixing and the issue will resolve itself.

Lagos is federal territory just like Abuja.
The price Lagos will pay forever for all those free federal assets and institutions left behind is to accommodate everyone.
Imagine telling people to leave Abuja if they change the federal capital to plateau......lol

Humour me by telling me how someone with a Lagos state address and a Yoruba name wouldn't get this certificate?

I can also tell you now that Ndi North with a Muslim name or two will be able to get this certificate.

Unfortunately, South South people will be caught in this net that has been cast as a result of Ndigbo Obidient misbehavour pre and post elections. A real shame but somewhat understandable.

Ndi Yoruba putting people in their place, after election noise, and you are pointing fingers at Ndi Yoruba in ala Yoruba. Nor go cover ya yansh wey dey smell oo, you hear.

Your mistake is in thinking that Obidient cares to read anything?

You clearly and proudly stated your state but this oga has come here, or more likely been sent here, to make claims about Ndi Yoruba and Lagos.

Obidients are now reaping the rewards of abusing and insulting Ndi Yoruba and àlá Yoruba because Peter Obi contested for and lost an election. They are now thankfully, and in a dignifying manner as well, being firmly put in their place.

By the way. Ọmọ Ogun ìṣẹ yà!
