On one hand this saddens me because we've allowed foreigners, who would not even replicate this kind of gesture in their home states, represent us. On the other hand I'm happy because it shows Yoruba people are tolerant of other tribes and practise modern democracy devoid of tribalism and ethnic affiliation. On the whole its a win-win for the Yorubas. Its shows that elections were indeed free and fair in Lagos. Can't say the same for the states in other regions, especially the SE and SS.

It is Lagos Island (Marina, Lagos Island)
that was the administrative capital of Nigeria from 1906-1991.

Lagos State wasn't the capital of Nigeria.
There is a difference between Lagos Island (Lagos for short or Eko in Yoruba) which is an Island town just like Bonny Island or Bonny for short, and Lagos State
which is NOT a noman's land because the whole of Lagos State is owned by the Aworis, Ijebus of Epe, Ikorodu, and Lekki LGAs, and Ogus/Aworis of Badagry LGA.

These 3 subethnic groups are the indigenes of Lagos State which Gen. Gowon created for them on May 27, 1967 along with 11 other new states.

Even the British Colonialists clearly stated
that Lagos Island is a Yoruba town and it has always been so. They never said Lagos Island which served as the British admin capital is a noman's land just as Calabar, the former capital before Lagos Island also has real indigenes (Efik, Efut and the Qua).

Ibos must desist from insulting the Yoruba
by refering to Lagos State as a nobody's land or that oil money built it.

Do other states in Iboland and Nigeria not get oil money from the Federation account
like Lagos does? Please let the indigenes
of Lagos State enjoy their state without this overbearing attitude from some Ibos.

Finally I read copy of the SUN newspaper and other historical documents which indicate that a lot of Yoruba and Edo lived
in Iboland in places like Abakaliki before
the Nigerian Civil War and invested/built
houses, but since the Civil War ended their population had reduced in Iboland. Most can be found in mainly Rivers States and other South-South states.

Some Edo females came back to the Mid-West with pregnancies from being raped
in Iboland prior to and during the early days of the Civil War of 1967-1970, before being expelled with other non-Ibos by the
Secessionists, so that and other acts of insecurity such as kidnappings and vivious armed robberies had prevented a lot of non-Ibos from living in large numbers in the core 5 Eastern States.

A lot of the supposed "Hausa" in the Ibolands are NOT really Hausa but from foreign countries. Hausas don't do maiguard work or sell water (mai ruwa).


Onitsha and Asaba are favorite destinations for non-Ibos such as the Yoruba, Edo, and Hausa traders, business people and other professionals.

A word is enough for the wise...
re-read my previous post on the difference
between Lagos Island and Lagos State again...

white monkey, I have advised you severally before to seriously consider suicide but you wouldnt listen just, your frustration and misery has gotten the better of you and will consume you ultimately before long

tochimas:
Stop all this tribal nonsense
Nobody is fool to anybody
You can educate and correct someone but not by name calling.
By problem is people shouting change could not stomach the change they want.
They should just make up their mind

teniola55:
What are these igbos looking for in Lagos?...Does Lagos resemble their Fatherland?...Time to unpack them back to wherever they germinate from

Awoofawo:
You have time for engaging those fools.... Forget them and left them to their delusion.
When the bubble burst, they will comprehend that silence of Yoruba so far is a double edges sword.....

I had to just reply some of these ignorant statements
because if NOT done on time these guys will distort other
peoples' ancestral history jsut like they have been
doing on some pro-biafra and pro-ibo Websites where
they insult and abuse other ethnic groups in Nigeria - from
Northern , South-West and South-Southern [Ijaw, Ikwere, etc].


Those pro-biafra Websites [that I have been reading since 2004]
are NOT worth stating here but you can Google them to read what
massive trash these people write online.
