Geographically, yes. Economically No.
Last is a national meal that was cooked by all Nigerians and can't be claimed by Yorubas.

Yes it can be claimed by Yorubas. With all the packages it comes with.
It was a city founded by them Yorubas. Today they are still the greatest single stake holding group in the state. It is culturally within their sphere of influence, Etc. Nigerians can lay claim to Lagos Island and Eti Osa LGA's due to their one time stats as FG properties, but not Lagos state, pls have that in your mind.
Yes, there are other Nigerians living there but so what...... Kaduna is very multicultural as well with all Northern ethnic groups, Igbos, Yorubas, Etc living in it.

This issue is a dead horse, dust and settled, you better stop wasting your time trying to wake it.

somegirl1:
Why don't the figures from other SW states attest to this?

Why aren't other British cities anywhere near as rich as London? or any cities on the US Eastern seaboard anywhere as rich as the New York metro?
see primary 2 pupil question.

Rotimi47:
What a funny statement! Oduduwa was never a Edo person but he rather sent his youngest son to rule the Edos.

Check out this analysis bellow:-

South West revenue without kwara state which is classified as North - 333.4b

South East - 61.1b


South South. - 180.2b

Now let add South East & South South with all the crude oil that our oiyel people are always making noise about

241.3b that is it is still short of 92.1b after comparing SE+SS - 10 states to SW - 6 states.

Please do the maths.

SS+ SE is 11 states not 10.
Still dem neva reach.

On top what naaa .....
Anyways, we need to encourage and patronize Adenuga's GLO.

AAinEqGuinea:
I love ideas like this. I nominate Nnamdi Kanu for gracious leader

Are you sure you are AA?
looool

We want our Kwara and Kogi West BACK!!

They are not your typical Hausa-Fulani-Kanuri mentality.

Innovative

OBAGADAFFI:
The same 45% that couldn't give make JIMI governor with all their noise.

Lol
At least they have toned it down from 60%
Getting closer to reality.

pazienza:
Edo can't be better than me, when just by uniting with my Igbo brothers, I get to throw Edo into a dungeon.

That's the purpose of Igbo unity. Ibu anyi Ndada!

Well, unite your region, let me unite mine.....
Edo have their own region to unite with...

lol.... look at this man.

pazienza:
Doesn't matter, as long as our Ebonyi brothers are there to beat the hell out of Edo.

What are brothers for?

Truly truly, u no dey shame.....
The same Edo that your kinsmen castigate is actually better than you are.

pazienza:
And funny enough, Edo IGR is 4 Times that of Ekiti the Yoruba state with the highest number of phantom professors!
And only Ogun in SW bettered Edo.

This is a proof of the fact that Edo is higher than Yorubas. Indeed this shows that Oduduwa the progenitor of Yoruba race was actually an Edo man, and that Oba was indeed an Edo man.

Edo has historically been ahead of SW, now see why the rejected being under Yoruba subjugation in Western region, but instead sought for and fought for the establishment of the Midwest region.

Edo dusts Anambra and Imo, the heartland of the East.... LMAO. You should bury your head in shame right now, instead of writing up some estrogen fanned emotional outburst like a woman on period.
Even Abia the home of the so called largest market in Africa, where the USA sends over secret agents to buy drones is not left out of the assault from Edo..... Na waa o ....

LOL....
Why have you chosen the number 30 specifically, anything special about that number??
why not top 40 or 50 or top 20?

philfrey08:
Why is that whenver Chike and sons open shop even LG Secretary woud not come and commission it. But when Shoprite come the whole Nigeria wud open it.

Naija and flashy tins.... we like deceit.

Why should anyone come for the commissioning of chike's 2x2 shop that specialized in the selling of hazardous products?

36STATES:
Both airports in Lagos were built by the federal government, non from Lagos state. I have not even seen any proper airport built by any Yoruba state. Imo airport was built by Sam Mbakwe, with contribution from indigens of the state. (Imo airport appeal fund 1980).

Which both airports??/

IlekeHD:
This is a clearer map of Nigeria.

it is wrong.

Yorubaland

murphyibiam15:
so u mean GEJ also influenced that of Lagos state revenue bc those two south east states recorded high igr.....u must be a hypocrite

there are no doubts about Lagos's economic prowess.
What can you say about states like Ebonyi being higher than the likes of Imo?

Let us not deceive ourselves here, abeg.

CabbieAC:
Prof na me oo . Nairaland and all these anti spambot nonsense

this ur new user name shae..
Na waa o.

CabbieAC:
9jacrip do you think its safe to say Okun people wear the Yoruba identity with more pride than the Yorubas in Ilorin?

Hmmmn.
Is this person whom I think it is??

Bwahahahaha.... Ayaf die ooo ...


These are the same set of people who call the fugitive radio station, to vent their frustrations.... lol

islandmoon:
very suspect? i dont understand! English please?

Go and call your teacher. you are too inconsequential.

islandmoon:
i disagree on Ogun and Oyo, they should be more, Ogun should be more, lots of things happening in Ogun that you can not even differentiate the difference between Lagos and Ogun anymore. so many companies..

Te figures are VERY suspect, I am telling you.

Ogun, Oyo and Imo are all ridiculously low.

menabadoo:
conico, what the yoruba name for lagos?

Thieves

The Yoruba name for Lagos is:
Wait for it ....... "None of your fucktarding business"

Go and concentrate on Aba pls ....

janellemonae:
Hope u know lagos is when u get to cms idumota area. As in eko. Dts where lagos is. When nxt ur driving, check d signboard on d bridges, ull see an arrow showing ur driving into lagos. The whole mainland of lagos state is not eko. Hope u know those days, there were no bridges and u got to d island by canoe. Ikorodu is an egba town. Epe is a town, isolo is a town, idimu is a town. Every area u find an oba in lagos was a village wt a king. Igbobi was a kolanut farm, alausa was a walnut farm. Dt whole area is egba territory. On d other side is ijebu territory.

The island itself was where d binis created a war camp. And its only d area served by d oba of lagos around idu gangan (or whatever his palace is called. And dt throne reverted bk to d indigenes when d white men advised them to stop paying tributes to d oba of bini). The population of lagos (d island) was just about 27,000 pple when d portuguese came. And there were other little villages there as well like d iru and elegushi. The british went on a land grabbing spree and then made d oba of lagos d head of all d obas on d island.

And d oyo empire were fighting wars wt d egbas, ijaiyes, ekitis because of d slave trade. Merchants like efunroye tinubu took advantage & stole captives to d island to sell as slaves. Dt whole market in cms area developed out of d brutal slavetrade in d west. Even d whites named a square after her (wicked woman).

In the old western region, d whole mainland of lagos was part of western region and ruled from ibadan. The federal govt was d island only. FACT.

If lagos is not yorubaland, name an area dt doesnt have a yoruba name? Lagos developed due to d slave trade & seaways. The british moved d capital there and started developing it as a capital (it wasnt wt oil money btw). 90% of lagos was yorubas only. After d british left d govt kept developing it. More pple moved in from all over nigeria because of d secretariats & govt jobs. All nigerians live in lagos & contribute to its wealth. But we have lagos indigenes, we have lagos culture and lagos traditions. It is not a no mans land created from nothing. Dts an insult to pples forefathers.

My brother, please do not tae this much effort to try and educate a Igbo from the South East, please.
Maybe you are not familiar with their true nature, but they are not worth your time and effort.

basilo101:
Hahahaha. Yorubas hv disowned Ibadan

No, Ibadan is proudly Yoruba.
Infact Oyo states generated more IGR than all SE states in 2014 save for 1.
So , we don't even care what you think ...

superstar1:
I flew BA from PH in the past.


See another lies from y1bos -- All of a sudden Enugu Airport is under construction again. Na wa oh. Is it not the Airport with swimming pool runaway, that was commissoned by your stealing daughter and all of you were making mouth, as if it is the next DBX, boasting of how the upgrade will affect MMA. What now happened?

Haba after how many years and it is still only Ethiopian Airline that is plying the airport? Shows how dry and unprofitable the route is and this lay credence to the untold poverty in SE and the reasons multinationals and investors will never invest in that gully eroded land.

loool

Flyoruboy:
That ain't my fault that the Big players chose the SW over the SE. Igbos are all over the country, especially in the North, yet we no see that reflect in those states' IGR, but una wan claim Lagos? ? Ko ni ragba fun gbogbo yin.

somegirl1:
Actually, there isn't a functional international port in the SS. You may need to reread my previous post especially the second sentence. I believe you are smart enough to comprehend my point, you just read it in a hurry. Just take your time this time.
Regarding including SS, it is only common sense to assume that the SE would find a port in the SS more convenient for their freighting needs than one in the SW or further afield.

Eve Ondo or Delta would benefit from the presence of a spanking new international seaport, and they are not in SE. So stop making it sound as if, only one group of people have the brains to use a port...Lmao

As a matter of Fact, Western Nigeria officially has 2 International seaports in Lagos (Tin Can and Apapa)
And unofficially has one international seaport in Benin (Cotonou). That cotonou port belongs to Nigeria Abeg....

With a spanking new deepwater seaport being planned in Lekki (to be one of the biggest ton the continent)
So you better realize that the SW is here to stay.

menabadoo:
that's what I want to hear. Lagos is no man's land. Yoruba can never lay claim on lagos.

Oya go drink garri ijebu without sugar.

So, exactly what is your business with Yoruba-Edo relations?
When these two tribes began relating, you lots were busy digging for cocoyams, butt naked in the bush.

Oloshi

menabadoo:
what's the Yoruba name for lagos? please don't say eko. Eko is a Benin name.

Yes It is Bini, but will NEVER EVER be Igbo
We are at peace with our Edo/Delta siblings. Infact we need more Edo Delta people and less igbo people in Lagos. Go and hug a transformer.

IlekeHD:
This is correct.

I think we need to change our mentally from regional competition to international competition. How can we make Ogun compete with Kenya's tech hub?

SW governors should be competing with Ambode. SW states, collectively, should be competing with growing African countries.

At this point, it's an insult to be comparing the SW with SE, when the SE is dragging medal with the North.

LOL!
true talk.
