On the day the British Colonial Government first landed in Lagos in 1851 Oyo controlled Badagry Area Which they had taken from the king of Dahomey along with Porto Novo (Ajase) in War . The Oyos had fought Dahomey as Allies of the Eguns
Aare Oona Kakanfo Oyabi had led the Oyo Army

The Abeokuta Egba Army Controlled all of Lagos Mainland Which they had won in the Ota War of 1842 in Which the Oyos of Ibadan fought as Allies of Oba Kosoko and the Awori and received such a heavy defeat at the hands of the Egbas that the Ibadan Army had to be smuggled back home.

The whole Episode almost led to the downfall of Basorun Oluyole back at Ibadan

The Ijebu Controlled Everything East of Lekki

All Oba Kosoko Controlled was the Slave market and Port of Isale Eko on Lagos Island, Even Ikoyi belonged to the Onikoyi who was an Oyo man

Again if you hear that Yorubas spent 100 years fighting themselves till 1878,

Just know that the Egba, Ijebu and Oyo Which included Ibadan were fighting for Control of the Coast of Lagos

Control of the Coast of Lagos meant Titanic Wealth. but unfortunately much of that was from the Slave trade

The Lagos territory Controlled by the Egbas , Oyo and Oba Kosoko belonged to the Awori People who were the most Peaceful and accommodating of all Yoruba Clans


Eko is Yoruba short for Ereko which means field and for Confirmation Ereko Market where the Egbas and Ijebu traded is still on Lagos Island today

Also Eko Ende in Osun State was one of the Locations of the Jalumi War of 1878

The Awori have inhabited Lagos since the 13th Century when they migrated from Ile Ife led by Olofin Ogunfuminire who was a great grandson of Oduduwa and a nephew of Oranmiyan who headed to Benin around the same period

The Otun Ekiti People migrated from Lagos in the 15 th Century and share the same ancestry with the Awori of Lagos

Thank you for the enlightment but according to omonnakoda Lagos is not part of the yoruba's .

When the Yoruba nation rally holds in Lagos on september 25, I would do well to mention omonnakoda I would expect him to prevent the rally from holding. .

omonnakoda:
If you were a deep thinker you would see the flaw in that response. So your logic is all "yoruba in Nigeria" must leave and form ONE nation

my reply is even if we leave Nigeria why must it be ONE nation.


There will always be attempts to dominate.

e.g What will be the future of Lagos.? The Oba of Lagos has never been part of any fraternity with Oyo or Ife.
How shal we establish primacy among traditional rulers.

Lagos does not need Yoruba Nation. Yoruba Nation needs Lagos.

Who is representing Lagos in this Yoruba Nation project? Is Lagos not being taken for granted?

Today we have the likes of Tinubu, Aregbesola, Ambode, Remi Tinubu, Fashola, Lai mohammed holding sway They are not indigenes
Tinubu's daughter is Iyaloja despite not being an indigene.

Create your Odua nation but leave Lagos out of it. Name the most prominent Lagosian indigene or Oba that is part of it.

If you are shouting Yoruba nation
others are shoutingg
Show us the details what will it look like so we don't have to repeat the process

Christistruth00 is it true that Lagos is not part of Yoruba nation.

FILEBE:
Oga. Carry you and your loves ones to go fight for Oduduwa republic. As Gani said, you are ready to die for Oduduwa . As for US, we are not formimg any republic.
When you form the Oduduwa republic. Yoruba Muslims and Yoruba christains will form their own. Sho gbo?


Oduduwa republic kor.. lamurudu republic ni. If i ask you personally why you want the republic , i am sure you wont have any reasonable thing to say.

[/s]
Your opinion is not relevant, you are a non-entity you can't decide for the Yoruba's.

Know this and know peace beyen.

Omo-ales that are benefiting from shit-hole Nijeriya thinks they can decide for those that want freedom.

omonnakoda:
Oyo is not a tribe. Oyo is a nation, Just like Ijebu, Egba, Ekiti etc

Open a dictionary and educate yourself. The term tribe does not apply



Now with regard to the term "Yoruba" its usage is new.

The simpe question for you is why Anago people in Benin Republic do not self identify as Yoruba

You think you know when clearly you know nothing

There is nothing like Yoruba Nation in history
If you want to create it today it must have some basis

Yes there was never a Yoruba nation, I agree that is why all stakeholders in all Yorubaland in Nijeriya are being consulted.

Majority of Yoruba's in Benin were from Oyo, it is an individual opinion some still see themselves as Yoruba's others not who are suffering from identity crises.

In Benin they still even use the old oyo empire system of money, "kpom" .

It is not relevant though, Yoruba nation does not plan to include Benin land.

omonnakoda:
No

Yoruba nation is the Oyo nation and its vassals.

There are many other Anago nations .

Emphasis on Plural.

Where do you keep Ajase and the others in Benin Republic?

The name Yoruba is does not a tribe but a race.

Oyo is a tribe, same way we have Awori's, Egun, Ijebu's.

The Yoruba nation agitation is not an "Oyo nation" agitation.

The movement comprises of people from all Yorubaland in Nijeriya not benin, Kwara, Kogi, Oyo, Lagos etc.

What part of Yorubaland claim not be part of Yoruba nation, can you give me an example.

Ellasure:
Yoruba people are too knowledgeable and ready to sacrifice whatever is required to attain independent status Yoruba nation. No gun totting, no gbas gbos. But serious and consequential dialogue with parties that are needed to be consulted, be appeased, share national assets, providing passage corridors for goods, tarriffs harmonisation military development, etc

Let the work start professor Banji and aare iba gani and chief Sunday Igboho.

If you think Nijeriya would allow Yoruba to leave to achieve it's self-determination peacefully.

You are on a long thing.

Igboho know this, that is why they are preparing for the worst.

omonnakoda:
That is nonsense and you are blinded by ignorance

Oduduwa was a "king" and all his descendants are Omo Oba FACT !!

Not all "Yoruba" are Omoba. FACT !!
So they all cannot be descendants of Oduduwa.
They existed long before he arrived

You need a lot of education even into the term "Yoruba" where does it come from.

Cross over to Benin republic, the same people same traditions they do not call themselves Yoruba . WHy?
Even in Ife not everyone is Omoba.

DO not let passion becloud your intellect.

Oduduwa was an "external" that came from wherever and established a monarchical dynasty.

This was about 1000 years ago.

He did not even speak the language of Ifa.

What does Oduduwa mean?

Ifa has been around for thousands of years.

Before you get carried away claiming to be Yoruba go and study Ifa

Yoruba nation not Oduduwa republic.

Noted.

ThatFairGuy:
We have to NOW

I for one prefer "Yoruba nation" or "Yorubaland" like the way we have scotland etc.

But don't critisize people who use "Oduduwa republic" because it is inconsequential.

We should not allow petty things distract us, remember we haven't leave Nijeriya yet.

[s]

FILEBE:
Please die alone. We are not for any Oduduwa Republic. Even the name sef sounds somehow. Oduduwa republic . Yuck. As it is being said, What we need is proper restructuring. I enjoy Nigeria in its diversity.

Please , take your Oduduwa Agenda else where. Bit wait, who will govern the republic? The same people that have been governing South west? You would think that this Oduduwa republic will bring forth fresh set of reasonable, God fearing, people-first politicians. Na lie. Na same bunch of people that brought us here still wants to take us there.

We no go!!

[/s]
Gbenu sohun.

Who made you the spokesman for the Yoruba's, non-entity like you can't decide for the Yoruba's.

You think you can stop Yoruba's from leaving a zoo, where we are losing our identity, where majority of people are living in abject poverty despite our resources, and talent.

Anybody to ba ni pe a ni gba Yoruba nation, a ma gba leyin oku eni na.

ThatFairGuy:
NOTHING like the name "ODUDUWA Republic" if we're to have a Republic.


What is ODUDUWA


We're better off with "Yoruba Nation"

Bro the name doesn't really matter, some refer to is as "Yoruba nation" others "Oduduwa republic".

When we Yoruba's actualize our self-determination we would decide the name.

omonnakoda:
I have no relationship with Oduduwa

Yes because you are not Yoruba .

Every Yoruba is a descendant of Oduduw.

WoundedLamb:
And the non vaccinated ones will live forever. Yeah!

Hold my beer, wait till you see this .

I want to start trolling.
But experience has taught me that this Ole team are second half come back kings.

Rule them out at your own peril .
Nevertheless I hope man United lose .

This aged well.

Gambit23:
Lagos belongs to the bini kingdom.

Even the Oba Akiolu has openly said that he isn't Yoruba

Benin kingdom kor, osu kingdom ni .

Lagos Island is even the only part of Lagos that belongs to the Awori's who have similar roots to the benin's, but even Awori will tell you they are Yoruba's .

Epe, Ikorodu, Infact all of Lagos mainland also belongs to benin kingdom shay hahaha .

My boy kingalabi is busy eating watery beans, and stepping it down with expired (emu) palm wine.

Bhus21:
2 days after I found out and going through emotional turmoil. I resolved to do the Christ-like thing and give the marriage a chance. I spoke to her at length and tried to convince her of her folly. I then made a candle-lit dinner at night and bought some flowers. I then extracted a commitment to work on the marriage for 6 months.

So imagine my horror when 2 days later I find out she was still talking to her affair partner for hours. Omo this wahala is even deeper than I thought.

What kind of men are we producing this days, shame.

I have no pity for you .

You have chosen to be blind to the harsh truth of life.

This not even about Love, it's about respect.

Your wife does not respect you, you don't command respect.

You know what must be done but you are to weak to get it done.

Let me just leave this, a wife that cheat's won't hesitate to kill you.

When we tell you to take redpill you won't listen.

Greatblackpimp:
All this pleasantries. Are you gonna ask her to Fvck or nah

Guy respect yourself.

RioCarputo:
I'm also an introvert too...

Good to see.

adg98:
Yeah I am What of you?

Yeah I am also an introvert.
Good to see you so open-minded to be able to discuss your sexuality.

cybersoldiers:
Lunatics are not allowed on Nairaland pls take note.
Lagos is no mans land, QED.
......NEXT

Anambra is Yoruba's land .
If e pain you locate transformer.

Abagworo:
If those people are Yoruba as you believe why then do you say there are no Igbos in the South-south even when the people say it themselves? This is Ukwuani, Delta State


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yd6CjBQ1rgE

quote wherever I said there are no Igbo's in the south-south, I am waiting.

I am a Yoruba man how do you expect me to decide for people of south-south whether they are Igbos or not, what is my business .

The op is a brainless Fulani cow I advice you put that mf on auto-ignore.

owobokiri:
Why are Yorubas claiming Lagos when everyone knows Lagos belongs to the Aworis and the Eguns?

[/s]
You can't just keep Yoruba's out of your dirty mouth.

Aworis, and Eguns are not Yoruba's they must be Ibo then, after all you guys are known attaches .

Go to the Oba palace of Eguns or Awori, and tell them they are not Yorubas.

What do you know that is the meaning of Yoruba, Yoruba is a race not a tribe but how would you know, you are just another bum.

I am Epe Ijebu man, that is how one deluded nyamiri said Ijebu's are not Yorubas .

adg98:
Lol not really that confident physically �

Are you an introvert.

adg98:
Having a party with two guys

Having sex in a vehicle(car) or a public place (cinema or rest room)

Not sure I can make it a reality though

Damn .

The way you openly talk about your fantasies as a female, you must be a very confident individual.

If I was James Maddison I would be absolutely gutted not to have made England squad.

Injury nah bastard sha, before that injury he was the hottest 10 in epl, I remember how he tore us apart in Lampard pre-ultimate game.

He has not quite got his form back since return from injury but damn he is so unlucky.

Barnes also if not for injury chai, he should have been in that squad, players like Raheem Sterling for dey hear am.

vicot:
Abeg..Zouma and Rudigar..who is faster?

Rudiger is rapid, and it is not even close.

Seunmsg tinubu said he is against Yoruba nation, he should be ready to leave Yorubaland for Sokoto .
