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

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.

Ojiofor:


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?

Americans have had British, German, Irish and Dutch Presidents.
For instance, Kennedy was Irish, the Bushes were British, Trump is German, Biden is Irish. Yes 46 presidents and none is Spanish.
Meanwhile the Spaniards were the first to arrive in the US, Christopher Columbus himself wasn't from the "Presidents countries". He was Italian.
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.

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?

I thought you sadeast people claim to be one, why can't you answer my question? Can ebuka from Ebonyi become Governor of Anambra state? Remove the wood from your own eyes before trying to remove the speck from someone else's eyes.

I am afraid you don't know history. Lagos colony did not even is the island without the eko, third mainland and ikoyi bridges. Luckily for those seeking the truth the national archives are there to validate all this. Thank God for historians and geographers.

Lagos state ( greater lagos ) was created in 1967 by subdividing it from the old western region. Before then lagos or eko was that small island called colony of lagos and later lagos municipality. Western region even had its own consulate in London that was later taken over by FRN


Some of us were in primary school when lagos state was created. Not everyone on NL is gen x or z or y sef. It's just that we don't talk much until we see macabre attempts to twist history.

All these just to defend your clingy disposition towards Lagos. Madam the real indigenes of Lagos have told you their stand so better adhere to it and stop trying to be clever by half! I wonder why you guys are not proud of Oshogbo (Osun), Ekiti or even Ondo. You all always claiming Lagos. Imagine all the Northerners claiming being from Kano or the Easterners claiming being from Anambra?

The so-called Western region part of Lagos ended in 1967,it only existed from 1960- 1967, just six years, it doesn't count

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.

Tinubu, Sanwo-Olu, Ambode et al are all migrant Yorubas; claiming where doesn't belong to them...



We the real Lagosians have had enough!

They're collectively Europeans, just like Yoruba people are collectively Yoruba. Do you understand my analogy?

Nigeria is just like the world that has Yorubaland,Igboland and Hausaland in it.
