AnyanwuSilas: https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/142678-orji-kalu-claims-lagos-property-sealed-after-he-crticised-fashola.html?tztc=1 That incident happened in 2013....that's 10 years ago. It's hard to get such sources. I think what actually happened was that OUK told Fashola that Lagos doesn't belong to him when he deported some Igbos to Onitsha. However, Lagos State government twisted it and stated that OUK called Lagos State a no man's land. Fashola would later seal off his house because of the statement. 1 Like |

mrvitalis: There may not be videos....that was 1947. You may not know or pretending but the animosity among igbos and yorubas started that way back. Apart from Jaja nwachukwu, in the build up to independence people like Geoffrey onyemas father reechoed the Lagos as no mans Land sentiments justifying it with the fact that Lagos albeit Lagos island was FCT but Awo countered them and vehemently opposed the idea insisting Lagos is Yorubaland and should remain yorubaland and part of western region even offering to help build a new FCT but Zik and other igbo leaders opposed him. That wasnt enough Zik also sought to be western region premier after installing an igboman as eastern region premier....so its beeen Long that igbos have sought to control politial power in yorubaland for whatever reason.....i guess they feel yorubas are docile and since fulanis were able to slice ilorin they could as we slice off some part of yorubaland 3 Likes |

I said Lagos belongs to all Nigerians equally because 100% of Nigerian resources developed Lagos and if you dont know that this is fact, means you're not truthful to yourself tamdun: |

See how foolish they all look. No one can substantiate that igbos as a group ever declared Lagos a no man's land. These tribalistic APC goons created this propaganda for their selfish goals out of fear after they lost the presidential election in Lagos. My worry is that majority of educated Yorubas bought into this primitive propaganda. Nigeria is doomed. The future looks bleak 4 Likes |

Lagos State has federal government investments for almost a century, ofcourse those investments were made in Lagos much more than other states so expectedly Lagos should contribute more from the investments 0monnak0da: |

DMerciful:That idea helps you retain meaning in your life I understand your plight I am more positive Nigeria ,all of it or most of it will grow and there will be even better and bigger cities/states than Lagos. That is not the best of us If Rivers State or Akwa Ibom had visionary leadership we won't be having such small minded and mean spirited conversations Remember Tinubu promised to transform Onitsha to Lagos |

Jaja Wachukwu said Lagos is no man's land in what context? APC Yoruba bigots who most of them weren't born in 1947 carry the matter for head and twisted the narrative to push for propaganda against Igbos. Lol Lateef Jakande, the best Lagos State governor so far said the same thing, Lagos is no man's land. Lol 2 Likes 1 Share |
