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. mumu 2 Likes 1 Share |

I agree but you know that place is the real Lagos the name was just adopted for the other parts that were included so it might be difficult to adjust it to Oba of Lagos Island.
We must keep countering the Igbos even though it's not something we shd be arguing about the ownership but if we allow lies to go on for so long it will eventually become the truth. truth is folks like the current oba of lagos and lagos politicians are not helping matters, they are ready to sell their heritage just for political gains which will not even affect them now but generations after them. The way the Lagos cultural heritage is being assaulted, hmmm I pity Lagos state indigenes o!

Ambode is doing a good Job in bringing back that consciousness but Yoruba PDP politicians are the major problem, they realize that Igbos have sizeable population in Lagos and they are mostly PDP or APGA so they want to use it as an advantage to dislodge APC in Lagos by offering them deputy position which is very dangerous. 1 Like |
