Bini produces Oba of Lagos, his chiefs are aworis. Unless you want to claim that one.

Whether refugee or not, we hold the largest number of lands in Lagos. If I buy your land, develop it and then rent it out to you make does that make you? A lazy squatter.

SouthEastFacts:
What is yours? Lagos?

Wake up.

Igbos have bigger stakes in lagos than those of u from Osun and those other nurseating states

Chimok:
So u are no longer from Osun U want to begin to drag Lagos with indigenes of Lagos, abi? Don't worry, in no distant time, Lagos indigenes will start spelling things clearly out to u Osun, Oyo afonjas.

Obi1kenobi:
That is the thing though - you didn't build jack. You're little different from the Gbagyis of Abuja - except far more populated the Gbagyis. Lagos became a thriving hub because the colonialists needed its ports in exploiting Nigeria's resources and the colonialist government and the post-independence FG invested massively in its infrastructure for 76 years when Lagos was Nigeria's capital (Abuja has been capital for just 27 years and look at it today). The post-civil war indigenization of the industries set up by the colonialists also favored the indigenes of the SW. You profited what you did from Lagos from sheer dumb luck - little different from the oil of the Niger Delta. You didn't "build" jackshit. Stop deceiving yourself with your silly chestbeating.



More delusion. Commercial capital my arse. The indigenes of Lagos couldn't even sail the seas that they were staring at before the colonialists came. They never advanced beyond dugout fishing boats. You can't find a relic of the existing pre-colonial commercial capital that you're dreaming about. None. Lagos was a coastal village of coastal villagers before the Europeans came here - plain and simple. The Aworis were hunters and fishermen.
As at independence, the major industries in Lagos that would later be indigenized were founded by British. So what are all these things you built in Lagos? Lagos seaports? Lagos airports? Carter Bridge? Eko Bridge? Third Mainland Bridge? The companies on which the Marina skyline were founded? Biko, go through the list of what "you" built in Lagos.

SouthEastFacts:
Because USA is not a no man's land. Oba is from Bini, his chiefs are aworis, Executives are Yorubas, largest land holders are Igbo.

Lagos is a no man's land.

SouthEastFacts:
If you dedicate half the strength you guys use in dragging Lagos on Ilorin, una for don re-conquer am since.

Obi1kenobi:
Even in the SW, they are less concerned with contesting whether Akure or Oshogbo or Ogbomosho is "Yoruba land". Only Lagos inspires this conflict because they've resolved to grasp for what they know they don't really "own". It's overcompensation for the insecurities many of them feel about the status of an evolving cosmopolitan city that was Nigeria's capital for over 76 years since 1914.

What is embarrassing about the "ownership" debate is just how primitive it is in the 21st century. What does it add to your life as an individual whether Lagos is Yoruba land or "no man's land"? What special privileges does it earn you?

SouthEastFacts:
Lagos is an Awori land and most Aworis claim they are not Yoruba.

Almost half of Lagos state is Ijebu land and most Ijebus don't believe they descended from Oduduwa.

The Oba of Lagos are from Bini and till the 1850s, all dead Oba of Lagos are buried in Bini Royal tomb.

The current Oba has both Yoruba-Bini ancestry and many ruling houses of Lagos are challenging the legitimacy of his reign.

All the nobel families in Lagos and the Chiefs in the Oba's cabinet are Aworis, no Yoruba.

All the major roads in Lagos are either Bini name or a combination of Edo-Awori.

Lagos is not Yoruba land, be guided. If not, they would have been producing the Oba of Lagos.

Chimok:
I ve never seen an Anambra man for any reason claiming Enugu, Owerri or Abia or the other way round.

So y would all Yoruba be claiming Lagos.
An Ogun, Osun or Ondo man cannot get entitlements that belong to lagosians just like an Igbo man cannot as well

What belongs to Lagos are for Lagosians alone and not for Ogun, Osun or Anambra man.

So Yoruba people should stop embarrassing and deluding themselves. You are not all from Lagos, just like Igbo men who come from their various states

[[s]quote author=wowcatty post=76104946]Lagos is freer than the rest of the country, but your hateful life won't let you acknowledge that, well what matters is Tinubu is Yoruba's son and we like him to spend Lagos money rather than have illegal aliens Igbos spend it.
[/quote[/s]]

LMAO!!
*Rants*
That money belongs/and taxes from Igbos, multinational companies and ND oil.

garux:
SW shot themselves on the foot. People over here are angry cos Buhari did more projects in SW than he did in the North.

nkwuocha:
Anything can happen
But his will liberate Lagos from the shacles of stupidity.

wowcatty:
It doesn't matter how many times you type up your nonsense and propaganda, it will never stick or come true.

Tinubu developed modern Lagos, you need to go and mind what your useless governors are doing in your cursed land.

Nigeria wasn't one country until 1960, there were 3 Nigerias (Western, Northern and Eastern Nigerias) ruled separately by the English, it was in 1960 we agreed to come together as one country with the regional system you Igbos later suspended because of greed and the fact that you couldn't build your region to be like that of Yoruba. Before then Lagos had already developed as Yoruba commercial capital. The English referred to Yorubaland as "the richest and where the money is" way before 1960, and as you can see, nothing has changed, still where the money is. Yorubaland is still feeding you and your people, you are just ungrateful. So now why are you twisting the historical fact to cover your own problem. You have leaders and region, go and sort yourself out over there. And as you already know, only Igbos wanted one Nigeria during independence and it's for a reason, you knew you had to be with Yoruba to survive.

Every money that developed lagos and Nigeria (except the Niger delta) came from Lagos, so Lagos owe its development to its people, the Yoruba for their ingenuity. Awolowo did more in 14 years for Lagos than the English did in 100 years.

Now, it's not Yoruba's fault that you can't build your own region, it's your problem that you chose to come and die in another man's land and screwing yourselves in the process cos Nigeria is running on burrowed time and you my friend will be the worst hit cos you can't use your brain to develop your region.

And

Just as you can't say Arabs built London, no foreigners contributed anything into building Lagos (at least Arabs came with their money to London, unlike Igbos who strolled into Yorubaland with a plastic bag and rob Yoruba to establish themselves), you came because Lagos gave you economic conditions your own region couldn't provide for you. You then work your butt off to pay me some tax which you are not doing at the moment but will do in future if Yoruba get it right. So it's up to you to leave or keep quiet, we never invited you in the first place.

franchasng:
For those saying that Lagos is developed by Tinubu, please let me educate you just small:

Lagos has been the capital city of Nigeria since 1960 after it was moved from Calabar. This means Lagos enjoyed federal government development just like Abuja today. Can any Abuja Mayor claim he built or developed Abuja to what it is today 90% of developments in Abuja is built by Federal Government. and mind you, Abuja became Nigeria's capital from 1991 december, now compare it with Lagos that became the capital city of Nigeria from 1914 january.

It is Federal government of Nigeria that built all the magnificent structures you see in Lagos today, quote me anywhere any day any time.

Name the structures Tinubu built in Lagos, name one if not planting flowers, building roundabouts and brt lanes, what else can Tinubu + Fashola + Ambode boast of as their developmental achievement in Lagos since democracy kicked off in 1999

3rd Mainland bridge and most bridges linking Lagos cities were built by federal government of Nigeria under the military government, and most of these structures are dilapidated before your own eyes without Lagos government being able to even maintain them.

Go round Lagos, most inter city roads are gone....Lagos have no road again.

The only laudable project started by Lagos is the Badagry railway to west africa which has been lingering since 2007...

The developments you see in Lagos are built by private organizations and individuals who reside in Lagos and have their investments in Lagos...Lagos is dying and going back due to Tinubu's grip and greed, kiss the truth

nkwuocha:
Lol
What God plan for TINUBU is not O te ge.
God's plan for TINUBU is to remove him suddenly from this earth,just the way he removed his sons he used as sacrifices.His time is almost here.
Remember God's judgment is often swift....

And when that happens,it will be blood against blood,greed against greed and thugs against thugs...They will kill themselves and be at each other's throats all to grab the powerful seat of TINUBU the godfather, and sure it will be for nothing as his death will mark the end of godfatherism in Lagos.I pray not to be in Lagos when it happens because e go bloody mehn!

Okuda:
slavery and slavery mentality is when you want saraki out but think tinubu should be exempted.. hypocrisy at its finest..

RTSC:
If it is a lie, you think pompeo would not deny it?
Why would atiku risk his credibility so close to the election?

Are you sure you drank breast milk as a child?
