How do they sort indigenes and non indegines school fees between Yoruba students at tertiary institution? How?

The same way wale from Ekiti can't become ordinary councilor in Ibadan,the same way wale from Ekiti isn't an indigene of Lagos except the original owners called the Awori's

The rest of you cannot claim Lagos as you are not an Indigene

Simple,Yes..


If you don't like it, you can Hug the nearest transformer

Indegenes still get bursary.

The owner of Lagos include the Aworis, Ijebu and the Ogu people.

The indigenes of Lagos should be able to tell their family house and their heritage.

Only idiots will claim Lagos indegenes cannot be determined, if the needs be.

What is obtainable now is deliberate waver and leniency to almost everyone, and that's the reason it seems it's a place of no indegenes.

Perhaps a reason for an adjustment now.

Yoruba currently and will still get more benefits in Lagos at the expense of Igbo just like Igbo people get more benefits in Anambra or Imo at the expense of Yoruba for example there is no need for unnecessary list .

Where all can do their businesses in the states , but the indigenes or the ethnic groups will get more chance in their respective states civil service , considerations in University admission (catchment area) , Health services, Bursaries e.t.c. infact. they have the soul of the state compare to strangers.

Dubai is a city opening to tourism and investors for benefits obviously.

So they will allow people in, including Nigeria and India you mentioned but they still have restrictions and can adjust if people abuse benefits just like what they did recently against countries, including Nigeria.

There are no lawless cities or countries
( where there is no war ) , a place can't be without those who control it .

Good so why are yoruba people crying everywhere when we haven't done anything. These things you mentioned are still controlled by Yoruba people in Lagos. Igbos are taking over your State yet you are still in charge of every important position in the State, is their any Igbo man that makes any decision on how Lagos should be run.

Like I said before if they enact laws that will be unfavorable to non indigenes they'll start leaving and I'm sure the Lagos State government won't even consider such laws cos they like the way Lagos is progressing which means more money for their selves.


They only use taking over propaganda to make sure that no opposition will smell power and it is working very well for them.

Why are Igbos lamenting even when the law is not out yet , a state wants to help her indigenes more and you are crying! are you the only tribe in the state?

You say the law will make people/development leave the state , then why not wait and see.

This is amusingly funny if true. A non-Lagosian wanting to pass laws that negatively affect him too, lol.

He began by saying " Lagos is NOT a no man's land" that "Lagos is a Yoruba land" perhaps his proposal will be Yoruba friendly in general.

Is that not stupidity , if you say someone is not Lagos indegene and he will propose a law that will go against him, when he is not stupid, why would he do that.

Nigeria is having structural issues. Hope Nigeria will remain United.

budaatum:


Are you not here dragging?

No one has to remain in their indigenous state if they do not want to and have the cahunas to resist bigots like you.

That's true , it's not a must that people must remain in their indegenous home, if one doesn't want to go home , one can at least find a better place but it's insane if you have an option and you don't utilize it.

If you an okada man for instance , will you not move to Asaba to continue your Okada business after it is banned in Kano and if you don't want to move to your home town.

This is a great post. There was a thread about the people who founded different parts of Lagos on here a few days ago and if you understand the etymology of Yoruba names - you can pretty much tell the subgroups of Yoruba a lot of them belong to.

I think Oyo seems to always get neglected when it comes to indigenous Lagosians despite Oyo people being one of the original inhabitants of what’s known as Lagos today. With Badagry for example: Oyo and Aworis have a better claim to it than the Eguns (Ogus) who’re settlers that arrived there after leaving Whydah (I think or is it Quidah?) - due to the King Ghezo. I don’t know if you have seen Viola Davis and John Boyega’s “The Warrior King” (the movie isn’t 100% historically accurate tho) but it did show when the people of Quidah were attacked by King Ghezo. I believe that’s when a lot of them migrated to what’s know today’s as Badagry. Ikoyi is another one: Onikoyi anywhere in Yorubaland is Oyo, so that’s pretty straightforward. Also, with Eyo festival - the Dosunmu family inherited Eyo from Ijebu (Iperu-Remo) via marriage thus making them the custodian of Eyo in Lagos as Adimu orisha but the 2nd most powerful Eyo (I can’t remember its name) is Oyo (from Iseyin). Etc.

Let me go on a tangent a bit with the excerpt about Ijebuland sharing borders with Osun. I didn’t really know that and thanks for the heads up. It makes the claim that Ijebus stationed tens of thousands of Ijebu warriors in Ife to protect Ife during the Yoruba wars much more plausible now. I always thought Ijebus just shared borders Oyo state since Ijebus are part of the integral part of the Yoruba settlers in Ibadan - after the Egbas vacated the city and migrated to their current abode in Abeokuta. I was going to delve more into Ife and the pre-Oduduwa migration of Yoruba groups like Aworis and Eastern Yoruba subgroups from Ife and Ife empire but I’ll leave that for another day.

Oyo people are from Oyo, a well pronounced place as Oyo before they migrated.

Nobody is crying, it is you who said we taking over your State when we haven't done anything. We really don't care how you do things in your State.

Babatunde Raji Fashola is from surulere
Akinwunmi Ambode is from epe

Fashola is Ekiti by origin while Ambode is Ondo by origin.

You are not taking over our state because you are not the only one there, just wait and see how things will go, no noise yet .

So what exactly are you talking about? That someone from Sharjah will go to Dubai and be treated with a different law because he's from Sharjah in the same UAE? Is Lagos not part of Nigeria anymore? Indians are not from UAE they are immigrants, they would need passport to go to Dubai but in this case Igbos are Nigerians so they have the right that every Nigerian have.

Now there's a question that you didn't answer, what are the things in Lagos that you want only Yorubas to enjoy that other tribes shouldn't enjoy? I want to know those things. If you tell me I will honestly help you campaign for it on Twitter. I just want to know these things that an average Yoruba man should enjoy in Lagos that shouldn't be available for other tribes

They want to favour their own.
They may show bias in land acquisition, rentals e.t.c

Are related to the two of them ?

Se bi dem say Lagos is no man's land, you haven't see anything yet. More very strict laws are coming - apartheid gov in SA will be a child's play. We will push all of you to one side of Lagos - the ghetto side.

If you have been following my post albinitio you will know that I've not been party to this nonsense talk of "Lagos is no man's land" , I am a proud Yoruba man and I believe Lagos has it's indegenes.

But I don't post falsehood and nonsense to defend my point just for the sake of argument.

Open your ears and listen again

Fashola , Ekiti by origin.
Ambode, Ondo by origin.
Tinubu, Osun by origin.
Jakande, Kwara by origin.

Have they denied their origin, even though a lot of them were born in Lagos.

They were born in Lagos (some of them) but they have never denied the origin of their father.

Osu was mostly people captured during war and it has been abolished in every SE state . Just do what I ask you and stop your normal lies and propaganda.

Osu , " people captured during war " or " those who did abomination"?

ginggerxy:
In as much as other people from other states have ruled they still allow the indegenes to take their rightful position. It's even a point of debate to wether there's actually indegeous lagosians or everybody came and occupied an empty land?

If others can come from other states to govern in Enugu and Ebonyi, states that are not as sophisticated or complex as Lagos , where you probably know who is who comparatively, then what's the surprise that other Yorubas (who were even born in Lagos) governing Lagos?

And talking about Lagos indegenes, no one is preventing them, they occupy other political positions and true indigenes shall govern Lagos to stupor , just calm and see, on the way .

babydioku:
Abuja should also make laws to protect indegenes, even oil exploration communities in niger delta should make laws to protect indegenes lands and protect indegenes jobs in oil companies

F.C.T minister should help them do it, but it's going to be like weak erection that can't penetrate pussilicious - vagina unlike what is obtainable in the states, hard - dick penetration because the state is empowered.
