Why do dunderheads always feel the need to attribute Lagos to Benin? Do I need to remind you nutjobs that the few Edos that settled in Lagos, settled in Lagos Island which is like 1/200th of Lagos and that they came there by request not conquest? And they also don't own anything where they settled? |

omonnakoda: You make sense. My great grand father worked with the colonial govt as a court clerk/interpreter in the period described in the above excerpts. He worked all over the southern protectorate but never went to Lagos because it was almost in a "different" country. All that changed after the creation of Nigeria. 1 Like |

ondo people name most part of lagos.. Names like ebute metta, ebute ero,surulere, yaba, etc that why most people cant tell you what it means. ebute is an ondo word, yaba is an ondo word. that why, if you go to lagos island. people dont understand some of the meaning of the names.

Tony Spike: It's extra-ordinary that this population statistics was undertaken as the end of the Yoruba Kiriji wars approached circa 1892/93. The representation is quite astonishing. I'd like us to keep this thread clean of inter-tribal jibes...thanks. Bruv, who are the "Eko tribe?" Also, Oyo people have always been in Lagos, their population is even higher than the Ijebu's. That's definitely a revelation. I guess it has more to do with the refugees during the kiriji wars and the struggle for weapons on the coast. 4 Likes |
Re: Population Statistics Of Lagos British Colony In 1891 by TonySpike: 9:57am On Sep 02, 2013 |
ShymmexLion: I believe the "Eko" tribe may refer to the families of the Landowners of the ancient Lagos Island known as the Idejos, as well as the royal families. In other words, Eko tribe refers to the first set of original inhabitants or the actual indigenes. The Lagos port was used by the Ijesha and Ekiti armies to import military hardwares during the Kiriji wars. I think the Egbas were the middlemen in this business... 2 Likes |

So what is the relevance of this thread? Is it a rejoinder put out by our insecured civilised Yoruba slaves that Lagos actually belongs to them (of which the reality on ground says otherwise)? I get am before before no be property my yoruba people. 4 Likes |

veraponpo:Yes, definitely! |
Re: Population Statistics Of Lagos British Colony In 1891 by Nobody: 10:02am On Sep 02, 2013 |
Tony Spike: However, most of the Idejo Chiefs are Awori's and a few Ijebu's. Perhaps they were alluding to those living in Lagos Island at that point in history. Where's Chief Dudu_Negro? - that the Chief Eko historian. |
Re: Population Statistics Of Lagos British Colony In 1891 by Nobody: 10:05am On Sep 02, 2013 |
Tony Spike: Nah, the Ijebu's had the eastern parts of the coast on lock in Epe. We brought all types of ammunition in and monopolised the market. I think the Egba's controlled the western part. 1 Like |

So far, so good. The thread has remained sane and educative apart from the occasional unsuccessful attempt, from the usual suspects, to bait bigots into taking a bite. Fingers crossed, touch wood, by the grace of God; it will remain mostly educative. 2 Likes |

Then some 1967 separatists still have the guts to call the historic town of Lagos no man's land. Let them go form their Land of the Rising Sun and pass through the process of visa application before coming into Lagos. Lets see if they will still call it "No Man's Land". |
Re: Population Statistics Of Lagos British Colony In 1891 by Nobody: 10:13am On Sep 02, 2013 |
Tony_Spike These are the Idejo Chiefs: Aromire, Oloto, Ojora, Onitolo, Onitano, Onikoyi, Oniru, Oluwa, Onisiwo, Eleguishi, Ojomu and Lumegbon. Oniru and Eleguishi are definitely Ijebu's. Oloto is Ekiti. I think the rest are Awori's. 2 Likes |

Yorubas, always digging out stewpid and unprofitable history.... developing world are talking about "invention" histories not population history or origin histories... what has America got to do with the population of british immigrants in today's world. SMH |

Let them go form their Biafra and pass through the process of visa application before coming into Lagos. Lets see if they will still call it "No Man's Land".Lagos is no man's land jor (like jerusalem).Check out its history it never had a homogenous settler group, from d earlier natives, to d slave returnees on to d colonials and now to non yoruba Nigerians. 1 Like |
