No we know our History

It was Oba kosoko and Adele that had anything to do with Badagry
And it was even the Egbas of Abeokuta that Installed Oba Adele on the thrown of Lagos


No matter who they installed on the throne lagos remained under the benin rulership

We're talking of the indigenous people of Lagos. Even if Bini people come to Lagos, they are not indigenous to Lagos. They met Yoruba people there. Is like saying the British are indigenous to Nigeria just because they came to Nigeria. Or Europeans are indigenous to America just because they came to America.

Yorubas are the ONLY tribe that can claim INDIGENOUSNESS in Lagos. The British and the Binis have no such claim.

Our blood lines has been in lagos for 400yrs ....
The bini peope are more lagosian as an awori person

Today we see non true lagosians who are yorubas claiming and governing lagos , edo man would contest one day as governor of lagos lets see who will stop we edos

I don't care. Europeans have been in America since 1600s yet the native Americans are they ONLY indigenous people in America. Yorubas are the ONLY indigenous people in Lagos. You can cry from now till jebus returns, it won't change reality. And if you insist, tell your useless oba to come down to Lagos (he will have to go through 2 other Yoruba states of Ondo and Ogun) and collect it. What is the fat fool waiting for?

do you know what is so annoying

even the Ijebus who own eastern Lagos have refused to drag Lagos with the Awori

it is Benin and the Igbos from over 400km away and on the otherside of the River Niger that are dragging Lagos

i have never seen an Edo or igbo indigene of lagos before, all lagos indigenes are yorubas and in Badagry, Egun

Can you imagine! Even Ibo that has no history worth talking about is claiming another people's heritage. Na we dey allow this Ibos to do and talk anyhow about Yoruba affairs. Until we politically emasculate these okoros in Lagos, they will always look for ways to undermine us including conniving with the good for nothing binis. I seriously blame Tinubu for this. For giving them so much privileges in Lagos including privileges that were not afforded to the indigenes. And yet see how they repayed him? With evil insults, hatred and propaganda. His lowest votes was recorded in SE. And the number of Ibos that voted for him in Lagos was probably not more than 200.


That was what led to the indigenes of Calabar and Port Harcourt kicking them out during the War
their leaders really need to denounce this behaviour it will only create trouble for them

Okoros are already leading Edo people down the path of political hellfire. Obaseki's greatest achievement so far is street lights. Imagine. Anything okoro promotes is a disaster. If the SE elders like let them not correct their useless children. One thing is clear, this generation of Yorubas Ibos are trying to mess with are not the one. We don't give a fvck. We will do WHATEVER is necessary to protect our heritage. We're not Tinubu who is progressively minded and has a soft spot for okoros. We're not Awolowo who gave them free education. We're Ibiles to the core. And e ni to ba ta felefele we go knack am something.

that is how agbaje lost 4yrs ago, because he thought idiotic pigs of biafra can help, not knowing they're less than 15%,
Don't be deceived that because obi get 50% vote from all tribe including some Yorubas, does not mean Lp will get 25% votes,
It do happen every 4yrs, presidential election is always a tight contest in Lagos, but governorship is one way victory,
Even this last national assembly election, people that voted for obi did not vote for Lp senate or rep members
Agbeje did not lost, he was rigged. But Agbaje is not strong enough to fight it in court. But with GRV it is different.

By the way, why do all of you Yoruba criminal immigrants always fighting against true lagosians in their own state?

Omo n oba nedo,

Meaning the child that shines for the Edo people


So are you saying the Oba Eweka cannot come from the Edo people

The word oba is an edo word adopted by the yorubas to mean king
The ooni of ife in 1930 who first added the word oba to his title to replace sir that was given by the British and the rest yoruba kings followed suit afterwards
yge child that what? shine? you self reason am now.

what does Oba mean in Edo please? the Edo word that come close is Ovie or Ogiame. Please stop embarrassing yourself.

Onii is a Ife king title just as Alaafin, Awujale,Ewii, Oluwo etc.

I swear he has finally lost it completely.

Imagine saying Colonial masters owns a land that was inhabited by Yorubas from time immemorial just to sound woke and pander to his IPOB apologist audience.

Even the "Oba Dosunmu" that he mentioned is obviously a Yoruba name.

That's why the descendants of white cap Chief Elegushi has more land in Lagos than oba of Lagos.

The rep cap Chief like Obanikoro only have their family compound like iga Obanikoro, Iga Kosoko in idu-mota

You can verify it from anywhere.

It is IMPOSSIBLE to get to Lagos from ANYWHERE (outside Yorubaland) in Nigeria without going through at least 2 other Yoruba states. So, if the Edos (together with their okoro enablers) want to come and collect Lagos, they have to cross Ondo first and then Ogun state before they get to the border of Lagos.

Lagos is bordered COMPLETELY by Ogun state and the Atlantic Ocean. That means only two groups can be indigenous to Lagos: Yorubas and fishes (from the ocean). If you're not a Yoruba or an Atlantic fish, you're not indigenous to Lagos. Know this and know peace. This message is especially for the foolish bini people and their Ibo enablers. Because if you're not Yoruba and you're claiming Lagos, then you must be a fish and we will either send you back to the Atlantic OR prepare roasted fish with boli.
Lol... I like your kickass usage of dialectics here. Thumbs up!

Where is Governor Otedola from?

Let me even ask you something. Are you Yoruba? If not, then you're only fooling gullible Nigerians.

The issue between Yoruba Lagosians and Yoruba Ara Oke has been there from time immemorial. So, you're wrong to say something is brewing. In fact, the issue has died down in recent years, unlike how it used to be in the First Republic.

Look, many of these Yoruba Lagosians migrated to Lagos from other Yoruba towns. The fact is that you cannot separate one Yoruba town from the other. Nobody is more Lagosian than Sapara Williams, the first qualified lawyer in Nigeria. For your information, Sapara Williams' lineage is Ijesa. Moreover, you cannot be more Lagosian than the Ijebus of Epe and the Aworis who are bonafide Yoruba sub-groups.

Most of these Yoruba Lagosians who amplify issues between them and other Yoruba sub-groups are the resettled slaves from Brazil and Sierra Leone like Bode George and Rhodes-Vivour who don't even have ancestral lands in Lagos.
Very well said!

You forgot to tell that ignorant creep that Eko is derived from
Ereko which is a Yoruba word for a "farm." I have maternal lineage from
Lagos Island and everyone
including the Oba of Lagos Island knows this fact.

The non-credible Wikipedia and some Edo propaganda websites are the sources of the falsehood that
Eko is an Edo word. This is pure falsehood and madness on the part of these trolls.

Lagos Was Owned By The British For 99 Years - Rufai Oseni Shares Treaty Cession Document (Photo)

Arise TV News presenter and author, Rufai Oseni has added his voice to the recent tribal arguments amongst Lagosians over the 'ownership' of Lagos State, IGBERETV reports.

The argument got intense following the campaign of Labour Party's Lagos gubernatorial aspirant, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour whose mother is Igbo. Also, Labour Party's presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi who is from Anambra state won Lagos State in the just concluded presidential poll against former Lagos Governor Bola Tinubu.

In a tweet on Wednesday, March 15, Oseni said Lagos was a British colony until it was ceded to a Lagos Monarch

He went on to state that some of the developments in the state were made by the British. He also shared a photo showing the treaty cessation document between the then British government and Oba Dosunmu.

Oseni refused to acknowledge the positions that "Lagos is no man's land," or that "it is a Yoruba land".

He wrote;
