We are discussing as men, do not insult Igbos. Igbos were never interested in Politics seriously until now, these are people who thrive on individual entrepreneurial skills and Trading acumen, I respect them a lot. Now that Igbos have decided to venture into politics, watch out for the effect of 45% of 21m strong Lagosians. Igbos are natural invaders, they have invaded and taken over Lagos economically. Politically, they are unstoppable only if they decide to run. I love Igbos, and I also love Yorubas. None of these 2 great tribes own Lagos.
How are you lagos owner.... You are just making me laff hysterically. lagos is no man's land, but Y igbos did not form part of the delegation that represented lagos in the concluded national conference ? Y don't you people fight for lagos as no man's land to be included as part of the conference resolution ? You people should stop living in ludicrous duplicity, every other tribes in Naija knows lagos to be ancestra home of the yorubas, but the flat-headed will continue to fight for lagos out of envy. Yorubas will not take you people serious until one of una representative at the legislative chamber move a motion that lagos should be included in the constitution as no man's land... The day they move such motion will be the end on igbos in lagos

First off, I do not know why you brought Igbos into the discussion. I love yorubas, just like I love Igbos. I am not Igbo if that's what you are misconstruing. If you might want to get back to the history books, then you will figure out that the name the Lagos was given this land by the Portuguese and the name Eko was given to the land by Oba of Benin about 650 years ago. These are facts.

The lights are programmed to come up by 7pm every day, and the road sweepers are on the roads as early as 5am cleaning.

Lagos has gone too far into sanity to allow the brigands in the Apc/janjaweieds to bring their type of peculiar madness to Lagos.

You should have done well by proceeding to state the history of OBAS in lagos, starting from the first to the present one, which tribe they belong and in what length of years was their reign. You stated 650 years ago, but Y don't you find out the population of the yorubas to other tribes in those years.... To me, your historical analysis is inchoate until you do as I said....ok ?

I think he's actually right about Eko being named so by the Oba of Benin during the height of the Benin empire. Can't remember vividly, but I think it either meant 'War camp' or 'Slave camp'

To you ? Like you really matter in the scheme of things ? You must think too highly of yourself. You might want to fact-check with me before claiming next time that Lagos belongs to Yorubas, when its clearly a defeated land that only the Benin people would have laid claim to, but they dont. Like I said, I love Yorubas, but I must say the truth according to St. History.

Stop the insult little pig, if you need facts, always ask in humility. The name Eko means ("war camp"wink, and was given to this land by its Benin conquerors. The Benin People waged war with fishermen from Ijebu Ode who usually come here to fish in the early 16th century. Factually, Lagos is marine habitat and people come here to fish, so the Benin People known for their slave merchandize were also in the colony enroute Ghana (Gold Coast), and they clashed with Fishermen and defeated them, and named this Colony, 'Eko', meaning war camp in their dialect of the ancient Benin people.

Seriously you really really want to do that?Make absurd claims about the performance of the Lagos state government using just one sample item when the sum of the whole tells a far different story.
Remove that picture of the so called camera system taking care of traffic (you know and I know that it is a big lie) or within the next few days when I'm back in Lagos I will post as many picture showing damaged, decayed units of same item all over Lagos.

THE JOKE IS ON YOU.

WE ARE ENJOYING OURS IN LAGOS.

MAIN ROADS ARE MOTORABLE.

MANY STREET ROADS ARE MOTORABLE.

MANY STREETS NEEDS ATTENTION.

AROUND NYSC CAMP WHERE I LIVE, 10 STREET ROADS WERE TARRED WITH GOOD DRAINAGE AND STREET LIGHTS.

SOME OTHERS ARE STILL THERE WAITING FOR ATTENTION.

THAT THERE IS STREET LIGHT IN THE PLACES MENTIONED BY THE OP IS NOT DEBATABLE.

LAGOS IS NOT YET THERE. BUT MAKING GOOD PROGRESS UNDER FASHOLA.

EKO O NI BAJE OOO.
