The indigenous languages in Lagos are: Awori, Ijebu and Ogu(Egun)... While both Awori and Ijebu are sub-Yoruba dialects just like Ibadan, Oyo, Igbonna(Igbomina) etc... Ogu as language is spoken by the Egun people found predominantly in Badagry area in Lagos and some parts of Ogun State that shared border with Badagry in Lagos... Meanwhile, the Yoruba dialect that is generally spoken by all Lagosians is the corrupted version of Awori mixed with Ijebu, blended and fine-tuned!
Coz most of the terms contained in the general dialect could be traced etimologically to either Ijebu or Awori terms

Ttalk:
Awori is an ethnic group as well as a dialect just like Egba and Ijebu

Ttalk:
Statisence should correct itself.

In Lagos the 4 indigenous languages being spoken are
Yoruba, Awori, Ijebu and Egun.

You won't be forgiven when you made such obvious mistake again

Exactly! Just 600,000 beneficiaries in a country of over 200 million people, and Reno Omokri is out here clapping like it's some massive achievement? You can imagine the level Reno has sunk defending mediocrity like it's gold.

owobokiri:
What made him a "criminal"? Because he talks about Biafra and he instantly becomes a criminal?
Do you have any serious evidence against him? Or are following the trend set by some worn out, self loathing and totally inebriated ur-ch-ins like Ijelespeaks?

Racoon:
The only confidence this criminal got is simply because a government being ran by criminals is in place in this nation today.

All because of elections, our politicians doesn't care about anyone

Disenfranchised:
All these names are well known commandos but your region fell to a ragtag bandits.

LoneSoldier:
Bandits or terrorists are everywhere in of Nigeria as a whole, is just a matter of time, there strategy is dominating many lands per square meter from state to state through rural villages, once they have conquered a particular village, they alert the ones in the other village that they are coming to dominate that other village that they are present in, that they should give them a safe route.....

Is just like a rat in the house..... Army or police can't stop them, they are more smarter than all the security force in Nigeria, to catch someone who is smart, you must be smarter..... It is what it is....

Disenfranchised:
Oga their mission can never be complete in South eastern part of Nigeria. For over 3 years we withstood the entire Nigeria and Europe forces who be bandits.

gidgiddy:
And your government is releasing thousands of Boko haram, offering bandits peace deal and negotiating with terrorists. Yes, your country is on the right track

gidgiddy:
Since your federal government can release five thousand Boko haram fighters this year, they have no moral authority to hold Kanu

Had someone predicted in 2003 during Tinubu’s campaign for re-election as Governor of Lagos State that he would continue to exert influence over the state for more than two decades, such a claim would likely have been dismissed by his media aides, who would have insisted that his tenure would end with the conclusion of his term in 2007.

However, history has unfolded differently. While Tinubu formally vacated the office of governor, he has, for nearly twenty years, maintained de facto control over Lagos State installing and removing governors at will, treating them as though they were mere extensions of his political machinery. This sustained dominance has arguably hindered the state’s institutional autonomy and stifled its developmental potential.

Given this precedent, Tinubu’s political trajectory suggests a willingness to replicate such a model at the national level, if permitted. Left unchecked, his leadership style raises concerns about the potential for a de facto life presidency in Nigeria.

Aside abacha that died in office mention one leader that has been killed while in office, the presidency is even far, mention one governor that has been killed while in office..
Even the case of abacha he still wasn't killed, he died out of health complications..

You have the floor so please do the honors..

Its just to show how you guy's can defend anything, I mean anything..

phorget:
We are all criminals in this country, it is just that our areas of expertise differs.
While the SE specializes in drug exports and imports their counterparts from SW specializes in online fraud and skull mining business, the north aren't left in the crime business, their engagements in kidnapping, banditry, unrest etc has not gone unnoticed.

We are all in these together no matter how we all pretend about it.

givedemwotowoto:
Narcotics trafficking crime is a serious epidemic throughout the world and should continue to carry stiff penalties.

If Chicago DEA had taken stronger action against some heroin trafficking gangs back in the 80s and 90s, criminals wouldn’t have fled to Africa and transitioned from drugs to politics. Parts of Africa would’ve been better off.

Lagos coastal scam, Tinubu has failed Nigerians woefully

Ofunaofu:
I ask, will it also be well with those who don’t believe in one Nigeria, but still grab, snatch and run with it?
