The Ibos are jews ,they are pure descendants of Judas Iscariot. Greed is the name of the wife Judas.They exist every where in the world due to their mass production from baby factories in the SE of Nigeria. The most powerful god in Iboland is Ego(the god of money).In search for money many of their species are on deathrow in Indonesia & other no nonsense nation.

They are the most populous tribe in kano,kaduna,sokoto,Lagos,rivers,borno,abuja,Ibadan,Benue,& on the plateau etc.

Another self hating, deluded igbo loon on the prowl. Why don't you start by googling Lagos of 1920s?

Why the fixation on Lagos? Are you idiots not of even ashame of yourselves? Keep fooling yourself.
let's assume lagos is urs. Wat have u done or offered in lagos. Oh ye yorubas. U said we bite d figure dat fed us. Who is feeding who? Can anyone feed an igbo man? Dude its d other way round. U re claiming a state u can't even develop and sustain. U have everything to be ashamed of. Cos ur irrelevance to dis nation is appalling. Above all u re lazy.

This thread is full of inaccuracies. It is a common error to say Lagos State was the Capital of Nigeria. This is untrue. Lagos State was created in 1967. It was made of FIVE 5 divisions; Lagos,Ikeja,Ikorodu ,Epe and Badagry. Lagos was the Federal Capital Territory i.e Lagos Island Victoria Island ,Ikoyi, Ebute Metta and some parts of Surulere. All the rest were in the Western Region. Only a part of the state was the Federal Capital

Calabar was NEVER the capital of Nigeria. Calabar was the capital of the Niger Coast Protectorate and the Oil Rivers protectorate until 1914 . That is the SS and SE . In 1914 Nigeria was formed and Lagos was the first Capital of what we know as Nigeria today. Calabar was Never capital after amalgamation in 1914.

They can even be from Ajaokuta, it is immaterial. Nigeria is a map drawn by Lord Lugard.

Before Nigeria, we do not have the artificial created state dividing us. We were all yoruba with

1. Same progenitor -- Oduduwa

2. Political HQ -- Oyo

2. Spiritual HQ -- Ile ife.

3. Military Garrison -- Ibadan

note;you forgot number four which is;
4.income Base--Niger-Delta.
true,it ended when your Awolowo fought a genocidal war against ndi-igbo with his benefactors from the other side and insisting every part of Nigeria must remain one.Now it is one and no regrets..dont forget when you all where shouting with your Hausa masters one niajeriya!!!

Nigeria has no room for truth and Nigerians are very allergic to truth. Besides, what has a jungle got to do with truth anyway?

In the unholy contraption called Nigeria, the lazy yorubaman that comes from osun state has no more right than the industrious Igbo man from Abia state that came to lagos to eke a living.

You all can choke on your frustrations if you are so irked by the towering presence of the Igbos in lagos

If Ironsi did not cancelled the regions and amalgamated power at the centre, the northerners you are referring to won't be as powerful as you perceived them to be today. Typical of an Iboman not to respect others and always trying to lord it over others,, Ironsi cancelled the regions, for the Almighty Ibo to be ruling them all from the centre, after a coup of ibos that he benefited from.

Others are smarter and wiser, just that they do not make noise. That led to to your resounding defeat and drawing you back into "One Nigeria".

If you marry a Yoruba woman as an Ibo man will your offsprings claim your wifes state of Origin? Because you are to blinded by hate and tribalism, you have refused to seperate facts from the truth. I have been Tinubu's no 1 critic on NL because of corruption but I can not change his heritage and lineage to spite him. You are throwing every stone and brick in sight just to win a non existent arguement. I am happy you admitted there are true indigenes of Lagos as against the no mans Land tag I have been seeing around
DESOLA IS THAT YOU

I really do not understand what he is after. Since he insists on believing a lie, there is not much I can do to help him. Even illiterates that crossed the river niger for the first time 2 years dey follow claim Lagos. Despite my hometown been just 45 mins away from Lagos. I can't claim Lagos except by marriage. Why would anyone claim Lagos when you know the way to your village during Xmas.
Nobody is fighting ownership of lagos with you people rather what you need to understand is that you don't force people to hold same political view with you, we are all Nigerians and we practise a Federal system of govt which allows you to live anywhere and vote and be voted for.
Why are you people fighting the ibos because they are not in APC or supporting Ambode? I live here and I pay tax here and the law gives me the right to vote out any official whose policies doesn't favour me, that's why its called democracy.
Please you are married with kids, don't allow this xenophobic or tribalism get to your kids, they deserve to know the unbiased truth and remember your kid might one day be the President of USA.

Unfortunately I am not an APC fan. I have never hidden my disgust for the party. I am neither tribalistic nor xenophobic. I am only responding to what some of our Ibo brothers are insinuating about Lagos, a no mans land which I know you are equally aware of that debate. Lets not pretend hating Ibos is the main issue but that Lagos is somebodys hometown.

Lagos as it is known was the former capital of Nigeria and as such a lot were invested in making it what it is by the federal government,using the commonwealth of Nigeria and largerly revenues from the Niger-Delta states.These states includes Delta,Rivers,Cross-Rivers,Bayelsa,Akwa-Ibom,Edo,Abia,Imo,Ondo.
However,the capital statue has long been shifted to Abuja but yet many Nigerians still see it as home and home it is.Back to the topic,who is a Lagosian.A Lagosian,is any Nigerian who is born or lives in Lagos,pays his taxes as at when due,has a meaningful source of income,obeys constituted authorities and contributes to the development of Lagos,regardless of what part of Nigeria he or she is from.
Then this brings to mind the question,who is a true indigene of Lagos, in 'Nigerian context'?In Nigerian context an indigene of Lagos is not a man who was born in Lagos but a man whose father is originally a native of that area,whose origin can be traced to Lagos or as its called in local parlance,'a son of the soil'.So going by this description,you will find out that most people that shout on top of their voices claiming Lagos,are not even from Lagos.
For example,Bola Tinubu a former governor of Lagos is from Iragbiji in Osun State,Akin Ambode presently contesting for Lagos state governorship is from Ilaje in Ondo State.This clearly means that both are not indigenes of Lagos,just like most other people in Lagos eg Hausas,Igbos,Urhobos,Fulanis etc
A true indigene of lagos is the PDP contestant Jimi Agbaje who is from Ikorodu in Lagos state and this explains why he seems to be more popular with the common man in the street and most indigenous Lagosians.
In many quarters,there is call for a true indigene of Lagos to rule Lagos state as it is obtainable in other states.
God Bless Nigeria.
Lagosians must vote wisely
A true indigene deserves to govern Lagos this time around.







we the Aworis, Eguns and Ijebus from Epe/Ikorodu. Owns Lagos
