I disagree with Femi Okunnu on this; He is telling us the history of this land that I sit from 1861.

I am a researcher and there is compelling historical evidence pre-1800 that shows that the Portuguese were here long before the British showed up and battled the Portuguese as world power that they were and bullied the Portuguese out of this land.

Mr. Lekki, Mr. Fulo, Mr. Badagry and so many other guys from Portugal I prefer not to mention used this place as a slavehub in the 1500s and 1600s long before the Britons showed up. So, let us tell the history of Lagos, a Portuguese word, in truth. No one is interested in displacing the Yorubas, neither are the Yorubas trying to displace any other people. It is impossible, because even looking at it, Yoruba is not major language spoken in today's Lagos. It is English and Yorubas are not the majority of the tribes in Lagos, it is a cosmo-politan town.

Mr. Lekki, I have been to the village he ruled and use as Slave harbour and he gave instruction to be buried standing after the British stopped his slave merchant business and he refused to go back to Portugal, but his son did come after some years to exhume and cut off his head and take to Portugal.

Like I said, I research these things as I try to be very close to Indegenous people in order to find out the mystery behind attempts by successful leaderships of the world to destroy indigenous people, be it Aborigenes, Tibetans, Biafrans, Oduduwas etc

We must accept the fact that after the Bini people who camp here defeated the Ile Ife fishermen who also come to fish at the oceans and took over and named this place Eko, the Portugese slave merchant when they arrived called it Lagos. It was a free open place. But since the Yorubas dorminated the periphery of the place, it was only the possibility that when Nigiritia or Southern Soudan became Nigeria after amalgation of the diverse protectorates to eliminate the final strong-hold of the portugese, politics was in the hands of the people and the Yorubas were educated enough to migrate from their neighbouring villages to the seat of power from their nearby locale and concentrate in Lagos. If that is how Femi Okunnu come to his conclusion that Yorubas own Lagos, then he is right, but the word should be, that Yorubas were the highest the highest in population at a certain stage in the early days of Lagos and so may have had dorminant interest.

Lagos belongs to anyone who can afford a piece of her, but it is owned by the person that created the land and that person happens to live in every LandLord in this growing town.

Lagos is not a Yoruba State, it belongs to all. No emotion will stop this truth.

I will continue to tell the true story about this town using the true facts available, which I personally investigate as my curiosity drifts from one thing to the other in my continuous probe to becoming the greatest version of myself, God.

Igbos in Lagos are the ones promoting this "no man's land" slogan, hoping to get the support of other non Yoruba resident in Lagos but it's a matter of time,we shall place them where they belong and we shall never forget this insult.

giftq:
baysol is probably a native of Ogbomosho

bakynes:

I agree but you know that place is the real Lagos the name was just adopted for the other parts that were included so it might be difficult to adjust it to Oba of Lagos Island.

We must keep countering the Igbos even though it's not something we shd be arguing about the ownership but if we allow lies to go on for so long it will eventually become the truth.

Goke7:


truth is folks like the current oba of lagos and lagos politicians are not helping matters, they are ready to sell their heritage just for political gains which will not even affect them now but generations after them. The way the Lagos cultural heritage is being assaulted, hmmm I pity Lagos state indigenes o! Am from neighbouring Ogun state and that's why am bothered cos if I say e no concern me na small small e go reach my backyard as my town is just 45 mins from Lagos.

zenmaster:

Please support ONE NIGERIA and reject ethnic bigotry / hate.

Lagos is No Mans-Land.[/size]


It's an eternal gift of God to Nigeria, just like the oil.

Some greedy people are sipping other people's oil, yet they want to claim Lagos for themselves. It's not gonna happen.
Lagos belongs to nobody, and everybody!

Anyone who think Lagos belongs to him, should eject the rest of us from Lagos, that's the only to assert ownership. Is that not so?

Goke7:


ethnic hatred is actually when you want to claim what's not yours in the first place, ok?

zenmaster:

No one is claiming anything.
Igbo pay for land in Lagos, and the indigenes continue to sell. Whose fault is that?


Igbo amaka

bakynes:

Many Yorubas own Land in PH and Benin does that make them no man's land.

zenmaster:

LMAO
Maybe a total of 35 Yorubas own land in PH and Benin

zenmaster:

bakynes:


Funny

jollymizzle:
it's good the 'no man's land' theory is generating a debate and has been noticed by the Yoruba elders. now it's time to set the record straight.now it's time we start showing who the real owners or Lagos are.

PointB:


35 is very generous.

Yorubas hardly travel out within Nigeria. Maybe 5 yoruba land owner is what the fellow is calling many!

zenmaster:

Agreed LMAO
Typical Yoruba life:
1. They are born in Ogbomosho
2. They school in Oshogbo
3. They work in Lagos
4. They retire to Ibadan

Igbo amaka

PointB:



They fail to take advantage of glaring opportunity, yet they want you to remain like them.

Lebanese, Chinese, Indians, etc are carving out Lagos for themselves, people who do not have half-plot of land in Lagos are forming owner? Soon someone will make the Oba of Lagos and offer he can't refuse, and he'll hurriedly relocate his palace to his favorite spot - the Lagoon, and with a very sweet reason which these loquacious yoruba will be jostling to defend. Winter is coming...

PointB:



Eject the tenants now! Why are you perambulating? If you see squatters on your land, aint you supposed to kick them out? Why are you crying a river like a pathetic weakling?

We sow the seed and we wait, even with my stance on this matter I do not think I being unreasonable.you are saying it's a no man's land, I'm saying it belongs to the yorubas. however discussions such as this would help bring this matter to a speedy conclusion.

Exactly and when it starts, they will be the first to cry and shout o

the problem with you guys is that you reveal your strategy too early which is not a wise thing to do cos you can be easily countered.

PointB:



We will nip to seed in the bud, and we will raise Nigerians consciousness of Yoruba intention to cheat the rest of us of our investments in Ports and other federal facilities in Lagos. Imagine the revenue generated in the Ports only (the only viable ports), Yorubas want to claim all for themselves? It's not gonna happen.

If and when it's time to restructure, we'll make sure Lagos is reclassify as Home for All, and outside the control of South West.

Lagos is like Oil! God gave Nigeria both; no one persons is going to have absolute control of it.

Lagos belong to Nobody; Lagos belongs to Everybody. That is why it is now - No Mans-Land!
