Calabar was never capital of Nigeria, stop the lies.LAGOS was capital from 1914 to 1991.good 77 years. Until after another 77 years,can the aworis,Benin's,and eguns reclaim LAGOS. 44 years to go

Calabar was the capital of Nigeria from 1884 dummy, I always speak facts, I'm not demented like your kind that say lies to prove baseless points

And please try to be intelligent, the fact that Lagos was made a capital doesn't automatically wipe off indigenes, it's just like saying Abuja indigenes don't exist because Abuja is f.c.t, same for Calabar,

Next time use your brain.

Next time inquire properly before spewing trash, Sanwo olu is from the Ijebu side of Lagos state, Ambode is from Epe in Lagos state, they are indigenes of Lagos, even at that, If not that you people are bunch of hate filled nonentity, why is the yorubas ideologies and way of life any of your concern?

The only people that have right in Lagos are YORUBAS get that plastered into your head today? You know why? Because we all collectively see Lagos as our pride and joy, the indigenes have no problem with yorubas, it is you sadeast people trying to create division in futility, you don't have a right or say in anything south west, same way we don't even care what happens in south east or claim ownership of anything, because there is nothing to claim

And yes other yorubas have been given positions in Osun, presently in Ekiti, and Ondo google is your friend, Akeredolu even gave an Igbo man councilorship in a local government but thank God he has been swiftly removed,

We are Yoruba nation, and we will keep calling ourselves Yoruba nation, even if we decide to secede from Nigeria tomorrow we wouldn't go about it the way you loud mouth empty barrel people are doing yours while killing your people in the process, we will do it with wisdom, and the collective support of our leaders who would push our cause to the appropriate quarters, we will continue to be YORUBA NATION until the time is right, know this and know peace.

Non indigenous Lagosians like Sanwo Olu and Ambode from Ondo state are parasites like thifnubu their chairman who is oriiginally from Iragbiji in Osun state..

Did you say Lagos indigenes have no problem having Yorubas from other state dominate them?

You can keep hammering and crying on your falsehood,it won't still make your lies true, Sanwo olu and Ambode are from Epe and Ijebu side of Lagos state, I understand the truth always hurt Igbos, you people only thrive on lies.

So we should believe the narrative of Vanguard newspaper owned by an Igbo man above an indigenous Oba of Lagos?

Yet despite the pioneering of Spain and Italy, the US has never had a Spanish or Italian President. Yet it doesn't mean a thing to these White people.
Ditto for the case of the so called Lagos indigenes. It means nothing to us Yoruba people. As long as Lagos state is in the hands of its owners, we don't care. Whether it's an indigene Yoruba from Epe or Egba from Abeokuta, or Okun from Ijumu. The point is we are all Yoruba people. There's no discrimination.

So the immigrants who come to Lagos should mind their businesses and focus on the wealth they came to work for. Imagine an Asian immigrant coming to Tell Americans that they have not had Spanish or Italian Presidents, instead of focusing on building a future for his family.

Should stop claiming Lagos and they give the indigenous people of Lagos state a chance to rule and control their state

Yourubaland is a country on its own

The fact is they are all Germans.

Igbos should stop judging other ethnic group with their myopic lenses.Enugu man cannot become a Governor in Ebonyi doesnt apply to Yorubaland,Hausaland,Benin etc.

Ajerica can never ne compared to Yorubaland.America is a land of various immigrant groups.It is never indigenous to Europeans.Europeans were colonisers in America.The real owners of America are the red indians.

Nigeria on the other hand belong to the indigenous people which cut across diverse ethnic grouos.We can compare Nigeria to Europe where you have the Germans,Italians,Swedes,Danes,English;French
,Russians in its own geographical spaces and distinct languages.
A French man cannot go to Germany to become their
Mayor or President while Germans irresoective of their city of origin can vie for any position in any German city.

Why the hell would i imagine if all northerners starts claiming to be from Kano? Am I a northerner or from kano?

All regions including the the Western region existed from after the amalgamation of 1914. The British ran a regional government of North, East and Western Nigeria. The Western region gained self government in 1957.

History is history and history does not become history due to longevity. The fact is Lagos is part of the south West of Nigeria. This fact is sealed by Lagos being part of Odua investment group as well as DAWN ( The development authority for Western Nigeria)

The yoruba nature of Lagos is also enshrined in the fact that the earliest founders of Lagos were the Awori's. Benin kingdom temporarily conquered part of Eko and levied taxes. But the Oba and rulership soon reverted to the original yoruba's and has existed as such to this day.

Interestingly enough the Obas of Lagos did not include any of the returnee slaves who are being used by some to claim a divided Lagos. And the rule of yoruba obas pre dates the beginning and the end if slavery - so the idea of returnee rulership rights over lagos is a historical nonsense.

In other words,returnee settlers have no rights in LAGOS,despite them having no other place to call their home,u people are wicked oo,Western Nigeria which included Lagos was just 1960-1967,it doesn't count,LAGOS is wholly owned by Nigeria as the first capital of Nigeria,just like Abuja is wholly owned by NIGERIANS
