This is absolutely wrong, since she was given the title of iyaloja by Ọba Akinolu, she can not enforce her authority over places that are not under the Dominion of Ọba of Lagos, he authority should not go beyond Lagos Island, there is nothing like Iyaloja general, what will the iyoloja of ikorodu, EPE and Badagry now be or do, this is wrong if the state house of assembly passed any law to back this abnormally, the court should be approached, it's high time real indigenous people of Lagos steps in, this their silence and I don't care attitude will keep on costing them their real place in Lagos politics, you can't impose people to be collecting money on your behalf in places that is not under your dominion.

are u a Lagos indigene?why not come to abia the agbero general at osisioma who was appointed by ikpeazu to intimidate tricycle operators? we igbos go just dey chook our mumu mouth for another people mata while our homes burn.nonsense

Unnecessary tension and potential crises.
Why not allow the marketers choose their leaders themselves as done everywhere?

as done everywhere? u are just a hypocrite. come to aba and show me any market-ariaria,shopping center,cemetery,afule market, salad market,etc where the marketers selected their various leaders. always flexing muscles for Lagos issues and turn a blind eye at the evil happening at our various eastern States

jrusky:
I have no comment because if I talk now some sons of Hitler will called me Afonja or Aboki but the truth is Lagos is Yorubaland and the people of that tribe has right to decide who lead them because I can see some idiots chest beaters turning it to tribal hate.

Do we allow strangers to breath in Onitsha market or any other major market in our region talkless of becoming the market leader? infact do we welcome or allow strangers to breath in our region pls let's call a spade a spade I hate all these hypocrisy wanting others to accept what we can't accept.

If Tinubu or whatever has decided who to lead so be it whoever not please pls leave the market simple as that. I don't brag over what does not belong to me, I'm a blunt person and i dont take side in any form.of hypocrisy.

I like ur courage.imagine my Igbo brothers trying to dictate wat happens in Lagos while in ABA,ngwa people has cornered every leadership of market positions to themselves and no one talks.

SEONaijaExpert:
These protesters are indeed deluded group of people.

Market is market in Lagos. How can that one carrying a placard that says computer village is an ICT hub and not pepper sellers, it's amazing how these guys thinks they can decide what happens in another man's land.

What happens to when in Rome, behave like and obey the Roman laws.

This is Yoruba land and that is our culture for ages. Those people have been given privileges but they abuse them by claiming "no man's land" now that the land owners are reacting, they are crying. Many more changes will come on till they caution themselves.

I am sure dat any sane Igbo person in Nigeria and Western world will be ashamed of the Igbo covertness, overzealous mentality and land grabbing crusade launched in another man's land.though it is inheritance from ur fore father's like zik,ojukwu but it is expected dat u people should ve changed.can any yorubaman be allowed to do what u are doing here in ur hinterland.d history is there

i said it...another backward cone head. I just imagine if the 1st settlers in johanesburg do this nonsense alaye mentality to other south african tribes.

Gosh why wasnt calabar our 1st capital...lugard got everything wrong. We could have avoided this silly nonsense by citing our capital outside a tribal enclave.

Lagos is now like ibadan.

Yorubas are real backward people. The world is moving forward with technology while these cone heads are busy looking for iyanaboja and alibabalowe to install in a tech hub.

Wat is the job of the two mofos appointed if not toutism. A tribe built their culture on toutism. I knw many yorubas living in western worlds will be ashamed of this

Have you checked the profile of the Iyoja and Baba loja ? The woman is right.

teddyalba:


Which real indigenous Lagosians are you talking about?

You should know that in all yorubaland the markets has always belonged to the kings or the Baales as the case may be. And the iyaloja and iyalode are titled chieftancy titles conferred on imminent indigenous women who are in most cases of noble births or conferred on eminent settlers who have contributed to commerce in the communities.

These women's title are not honorary as they also attend the king's council meetings. Its only the male equivalent that is a modern day introduction.

And the titles could be hereditary at times. Folashade inherited the title from her grandma. We have iyaloja in the different locales on Lagos Island. She is not the iyaloja of Lagos Island and neither was Abibatu Mogaji her grandma in her lifetime but the head of all iyalojas in Lagos state. Its a chieftancy affairs beyond the comprehension of non yorubas and non indigenes.

There is a head of Olode, Araba, herbalist, artisans etc. Maybe you are not aware there is also a leading baale to the other baales?

Folashade is worthy of the title by virtue of being the granddaughter of Abibatu Mogaji than being Tinubu's daughter. If you know the mama you wont question her installation. Jagaban too made a name because of her if you care to know. We used to know him as Omo Alhaja before he became what he is.

Folashade is worthy of the title, if its just by imposition she would have died long ago to be receiving the homages of the older market women.

Oga please part of my family is kosoko, kings.... Don't tell me history of Lagos Island, my grandmother was a prominent textile trader in gutter.

No women title is hereditary in Yoruba land so please don't bring in what is alien to tradition.

All market squares under any dominion is controlled by the ruler, that's why you must see an ọjà ọba in any Yoruba land that you go into with the market in most cases right beside the ọba's palace, I have traveled far and wide in Yoruba land to know that.

Abibat mogaji was made head on the Nigerian men and women market association, by her peers all over the country, she didn't become the head automatically just because she is the iyaloja of Lagos Island.... History must be set correct...

am not Igbo... It just aches me when people come from their own states and start making unnecessary, unfounded claims in Lagos, and the indigenes are left out, have you ever heard of a logosian holding any political post in other part of the southwest? And Kwara? If you try it they will ask you where is your papa house, go there and be councilor, but here no one do that because we are accommodating.

There is nothing like Iyaloja of Lagos State
Iyaloja or Iyalode is not hereditary
Even if it were Abibatu Mogaji is not her relative
She is not a blood indigene of Lagos and cannot have hereditary titles
Is Tinubu an indigene of Lagos??
Since when did adopted children inherit titles
It is true what the Yoruba say
Ile ti o toro omoale inu re ko yi ti di agba

Is that so called Computer village a LEGAL MARKET.
Does it conform with the planning laws of Lagos State
So what we have with this nonsense is an aberration where all the other Obas are afraid to talk
Without laws there are no crimes
If we assume that she is Iyaloja of Lagos State. WHat powers does she have under the law
She will soon climb her tree beyond the leaves
Why does she not go and try this at any of the malls


Those old enough to know or be told stories know that Abibatu Mogaji was leader of market women in Western Region long before Lagos State was created .
She is remembered for leading market women in support of Awolowo when he was incarcerated
She was NEVER IYALODE OF LAGOS STATE
Is Lagos the only Yoruba State
Which other Yoruba state has an Iyalode of the entire State?

I am in support of control of markets by the STATE GOVERNMENT via a caretaker system

Brightdude007:
Any thing that comes from tinubu and his family is generally accepted by the self acclaimed most educated tribe. Tinubu and his family think for all of them, tinubu and his family own Lagos. If ur tribe truly own Lagos, challenge tinubu authority for one day and c d outcome. No wonder fela sang zombie

I think you're Dull dude
You should thank God for the opportunity to hawk Fan Milk and Gala in Lagos when there's no such opportunity in Douglas House or Onitsha Bridge.

You ought to be sincere that if Yoruba are backward, you and your gang will not floods Lagos to sell Fan Milk and Gala on the main roads.
Only Yoruba Bastard will be ashame of this, the real truth is that you need to be honest that such a thing will never be tolerated in Enugu hub.
In fact many Ibo guys are unhappy that Enugu touts and your "mofos"have flooded Lagos more than Onitsha

cptfash:


What is ur own problem abt Yoruba or how they run their own affairs? From time immemorial Yoruba has been having iyaloja and babaloja as part of their socio-economic control to ensure discipline,sanity,peace and integrity in the society.
If ur lots are not satisfy with that pls leave yorubaland and relocate to igboland where u can exhibit all ur innate lawlessness.

Am not surprised my dear, exhibiting innate lawlessness is simply because we don't allow ourselves to be controlled by one Demi God. Provided it's coming from him its divine. I will keep saying it Tinubus own Lagos cos ONLY THEIR WORD is law. Still baffles me how a tribe as learned and exposed as this will still subject themselves to such ridicule. Does it mean they don't have intelligent sons and daughters anymore. Keep selling your birth right for two derica of rice and #500

Samshumy:
Nice one

please, who is iyaloja and babaloja of Alaba international market?

LazyGold:

The leader of traders in Lagos and the Iyaloja General of Nigeria, Mrs Folashade Tinubu-Ojo, has said that some traders in the Computer village market who protested against the appointment of Iyaloja and Babaloja in the market on Tuesday were ill-informed.

Addressing a press briefing on Wednesday, Tinubu-Ojo, said all the markets in the state were under her control and the computer village market cannot be an exception.


According to our constitution, I can choose anybody from any local government in the state to head the market, all the iyaloja and babaloja in all the Lagos markets are my representatives in the market where they operate. Kindly educate them that phones, handsets, computers are commodities.

“They cannot tell us they are not pepper sellers, everybody cannot be textile dealers; they can’t tell us that computer village will be exonerated from other markets. We have the right to choose for them Iyaloja and Babaloja."


“Those people protesting never approached me to complain. They don’t have the initiative that the person leading the protest has finished his tenure and wants to remain in power."

“Computer village is not just an ICT hub, there are a lot of commodities being sold there; nobody can say it is wrong to select a babaloja and iyaloja for the market. Those that have been selected were not selected because they are Yoruba, in some of our markets in Lagos we have Igbos that were selected as market leaders,” Tinubu-Ojo said.


She said the appointment of Mrs Abisola Azeez and Mr Adeniyi Babalola, as Iyaloja and Babaloja of Computer Village respectively was done to maintain peace in the market among the traders.

I really don't know but she kind of sound despotic with her I can chose anyone. Lol

No you getting it wrong, as long as you are a Nigerian you can decide what happens anywhere in Nigeria. Don't be an educated illiterate.

That's what u would prefer, but u are quite wrong n u are making an illegal statement.

Lagos is Nigeria and any Nigerian can live there, work there, invest there, shit inside gutter there, fly kite there, do any nonsense there Etc.

We can start talking about Lagos being yoruba land if Lagos becomes a country separate from Nigeria

You got to fight "Roman laws" when they are bad and this is one bad "Roman law"! In Yorubaland, Iyaloja and babaloja is a means of dipping your filthy fingers in my pocket and giving nothing in return, and is not good business!

You are the one who is actually mistaken. Now listen up:

1.) Lagos is not itself Nigeria, but a city state IN Nigeria.

2.) The fact that a city or state is an indigenous homeland to some ethnic group(s) is NOT mutually exclusive to it being IN Nigeria. (Those two aspects are not in anyway contradictories).

3.) For example, Abuja is the indigenous homeland of Gwaris, yet Abuja is IN Nigeria. (Those two are not in anyway contradictories).

4.) Similarly, Anambra (for example) is an indigenous homeland of Igbos, yet Anambra is IN Nigeria. (Those two are not contradictories).

5.) To acquire a private land which has never been sold before in Anambra, then you will be buying from an Igbo man. (What does that tell you?)

6.) In a similar vein, Lagos is an indigenous homeland of Yorubas, yet it is IN Nigeria. In other words, to acquire a private land which has never been sold before in Lagos, then you will be buying from a Yoruba man. (Again, what does that tell you?)

7.) So, it is not an illegal statement to say that Anambra is an indigenous homeland of Igbos, yet a state in Nigeria where any Nigerian can work, live, shit, etc; but can not rule as the "Obi", or "Igwe", among other indeginous things.

8.) Just the same way it is not an illegal statement to say that Lagos is an indigenous homeland of Yorubas, yet a city-state in Nigeria where every Nigerian is welcome but with similar indigenous limitations to "aliens" just as the foregoing ones in the case of Anambra amongst others like the installation of Iyalojas and Babalojas.

Peace !!

Tribalism and Religion is the problem of Nigeria and Africa at large and not corruption, if you say say some Nigerians don't have right in a part of Nigeria, why not let them go, so you will know that they are real foreigners. One Nigeria is only on paper, its not in our heart. This country has a long way to go, everything is attributed to religion or ethnicity.

How many Iyaloja and Babaloja have you installed/imposed on Dangote companies who bought lands from Yoruba man?
Those people are managing heavily capitalized companies of theirs like Dangote too.
