yes its Yoruba land, but yorubas have little to do with the development, just like eko Atlantic is the brain child of a Lebenese man.

Enugu, Abia and Anambra lands are more likely to be carved to separate out the Igala lands than Lagos which is a homogenised Yoruba land.

As a matter of fact, enugu land is an Igala land!

It's quite funny when people like you who have nothing are the first to cry. Lol

The Onne seaport and River seaports are what? Are they not working quite well? Unfortunately, Ibos has got no sea, hence no sea ports! You've got no oil as well. Or should I say the teaspoon oil you have? Lol.

One of the worst bigot on this forum. You brought up this article with the sole purpose of creating a frontal attack on Igbos. The entire article did not mention Igbos in any form, but your prejudiced ewedu induced brain still finds a way to rope her in.

From Kanu, to IPOB/Biafra, your grunting grows louder by the day; you are gradually revealing your true state, that indeed, Kanu was not the problem, but your dislike and hatred for anything Igbo was the primary motivator to your, daily subtle recurrent, chauvinism against Igbos.
A blind supporter of anything evil, as long as it suits your agenda. But in all, your confused brain still kicks against the Igbos leaving your contraption in peace
Soulless patriotic bigot.

Are you still reading 14th century history books

laudate:

You are so ignorant, that everyone who reads your comments only end up making fun of you. Chai!! You flunked history in secondary school, and failed geography as well. What a pity.

Thanks.. Now go fvck yourself

Really?? The same way Onitsha belongs to Benin, because it was founded by a Benin prince. Even Zik acknowledged this fact in his book.

You should take your own advice, first. After fvcking yourself, let us know since that is the only thing you know how to do...

TheKingIsHere:
You should take that advise as you don't have any sensible thing to say.

Now go fvck yourself

[s]Who is this one?? When your brothers were posting pictures of tribal marks and making baseless wild allegations, trying to pass it off as the truth, while insulting those who tried to debunk their lies ....where were you?? You did not see it, or you suddenly developed selective amnesia? When they were calling people from other ethnic groups derogatory names and labelling them as "Afonja", even when they were not Yoruba, simply because they did not share the views of your brothers, you kept quiet. They are the soulless bigots! Before you try to remove the speck in other people's eyes, remove the log in your own eyes and those of your people[/s].

I can now conclude you don't read. How many times do you want me to explain to you, the name cannot be Changed because that place he controls is the Original Lagos, that the Portuguese named Lagos. The entire State was named after that place, just like the entire Oyo state is named after Oyo town but there are other places that the Alaafin of Oyo doesn't control like Ibadan is under Olubadan of Ibadan.

If you have comprehension problem go and find solution to your problem oh!

You are the one coming up with a strawman argument.

You say something with no substantial evidence to your claim..

Be educated because the word Eko is a Bini word and never a yoruba word.

Even the Lagos state government agreed that its a bini word. So your argument is pointless.

https://lagosstate.gov.ng/about-lagos/

Billyonaire:


You are wrong. 100% wrong.

The Yoruba and the Bini (Benin) languages are offshoots of each other, because you guys are ancestral cousins who love to fight each other.
Eko is a Bini language and if you want to add ile to it, then you should know that Ile means House or Home...right ? So, you can not allow such opinion to control your mind. You need to stop reading half-baked history of people like Femi Okunnu who tell stories he read as opposed to the story being told by the indigenous Yoruba people.

I go into the trenches and I dine with the real original indigenous people and someday, I will tell the story of Mr. Lekki and Mr. Badagry, these are Portuguese people, and if Mr. Badagry owned the expanse bordering Seme Border end of Lagos and Mr. Lekki owned the other extreme which borders Ondo State after the Fulo communities, which Lagos are you talking about ?

Please do not confuse nairalanders with your factless right up. I am a friend of the Yorubas and I dine with them more than you guys who abandon your indigenous people. I defend Indigenous people in all my discussions.

Please be guided.

vaxx:
am not interested in daft argument........

Billyonaire:
I disagree with Femi Okunnu on this; He is telling us the history of this land that I sit from 1861.

I am a researcher and there is compelling historical evidence pre-1800 that shows that the Portuguese were here long before the British showed up and battled the Portuguese as world power that they were and bullied the Portuguese out of this land.

Mr. Lekki, Mr. Fulo, Mr. Badagry and so many other guys from Portugal I prefer not to mention used this place as a slavehub in the 1500s and 1600s long before the Britons showed up. So, let us tell the history of Lagos, a Portuguese word, in truth. No one is interested in displacing the Yorubas, neither are the Yorubas trying to displace any other people. It is impossible, because even looking at it, Yoruba is not major language spoken in today's Lagos. It is English and Yorubas are not the majority of the tribes in Lagos, it is a cosmo-politan town.

Mr. Lekki, I have been to the village he ruled and use as Slave harbour and he gave instruction to be buried standing after the British stopped his slave merchant business and he refused to go back to Portugal, but his son did come after some years to exhume and cut off his head and take to Portugal.

Like I said, I research these things as I try to be very close to Indegenous people in order to find out the mystery behind attempts by successful leaderships of the world to destroy indigenous people, be it Aborigenes, Tibetans, Biafrans, Oduduwas etc

We must accept the fact that after the Bini people who camp here defeated the Ile Ife fishermen who also come to fish at the oceans and took over and named this place Eko, the Portugese slave merchant when they arrived called it Lagos. It was a free open place. But since the Yorubas dorminated the periphery of the place, it was only the possibility that when Nigiritia or Southern Soudan became Nigeria after amalgation of the diverse protectorates to eliminate the final strong-hold of the portugese, politics was in the hands of the people and the Yorubas were educated enough to migrate from their neighbouring villages to the seat of power from their nearby locale and concentrate in Lagos. If that is how Femi Okunnu come to his conclusion that Yorubas own Lagos, then he is right, but the word should be, that Yorubas were the highest the highest in population at a certain stage in the early days of Lagos and so may have had dorminant interest.

Lagos belongs to anyone who can afford a piece of her, but it is owned by the person that created the land and that person happens to live in every LandLord in this growing town.

Lagos is not a Yoruba State, it belongs to all. No emotion will stop this truth.

I will continue to tell the true story about this town using the true facts available, which I personally investigate as my curiosity drifts from one thing to the other in my continuous probe to becoming the greatest version of myself, God.
