Lagos: Not A “no Man’s Land!” by mztemmytope: 1:33pm On May 28, 2017 |
All protocols are duly observed. Good day ladies and gentlemen. My name is Abideen Muhammed Ayomide. It gives me a great pleasure to stand in front of the world today to discuss the most controversial issue among the people of Lagos State. I make bold to say that the notion is not only erroneous but misleading and I therefore stand to debunk the popular illusion that Lagos State is a no man’s land. For decades, people have harboured different images and perception of Lagos and its aborigines (original owners), some of which are far from truth. The erroneous view that Lagos is no man’s land for instance, is either a demonstration of ignorance or a joke carried too far. This expression in one part is by-product of the generosity, hospitality and level of social integration of the people of Lagos. The claim that Lagos is no man’s land is synonymous to the claim of the atheists that God does not exist and everything came into existence planlessly. They insist that the sun, the stars, the rivers, et cetera came out of the blues with no single initiator, yet with perfect order. And if I may ask, how will you feel if someone argues that your phones, plates and shoes, all came into existence without the effort of anybody – no maker? If you can’t accept the above claims, will it not be repugnant to common sense to also claim that Lagos is a no man’s land? Undoubtedly, this assertion is not only bogus, it is preposterous!

Lagos is a no man's land because is not only yoruba that owns the place,ijaws too own places like apapa which in ijaw language means groundnut. Apart from that it was a virtually unknown place before they made it the capital of nigeria with the money from east and ss. So yoruba is a no man's land.i will give more explanations when your brothers qoute me. 1 Like |
