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.

When we give you your Biafra , let's see how you will be treating it like your cursed village avoiding it and camping in Nigeria

Go home .

No one is giving anyone Biafra! If you want Biafra, pack yourself off Nigeria land and go form your Biafra elsewhere. Timbuktu might have you, or claim land in the Sahara desert. And mind the Nigerian door as you exit please or we shall let it hit you on your way out.

Lagos is Yorubaland
To start with, are you a Lagosian?

Thanks but this not about resource control but citing of corporate head offices. There was a time the government actually told those multinationals to relocate to their host states but they refused.

ofcourse resource control will be a good idea anyway. It's part of the restructuring that we have been clamouring for... So no qualms about that. Lagos will always survive on its own no matter what....

cktheluckyman:

Good.But beyond that if Nigeria is to go by that way even the Niger-delta oil money will be for Niger-delta states alone.They will aslo pass their own laws to control their oil resources.

This is a great move! If you are a genuine Lagos indigene reading this, I must commend you for allowing others do in your state what they will never allow in their own states.

I hope those who will formulate the so-called laws are people whose ancestorial homes are Lagos State though. A Lagos indigene has never been governor of the state since 1999 and they all kept quiet. Those indigenes tolerate a lot of NONSENSE from other Yorubas!


Nothing concerned you so far they are bonafide Omoluabi not one ghost Chinedu.

Stupid agbadorian. If you are tired of seeing other tribes in lagos, tell your senators to move motion for referendum. That's the only way. Nobody wants to share a country with idiats like you anyway.
That man is ranting and there nothing he can do. He is just an empty hate filled idiat, like you. Fool, is not even upto two weeks they concluded inauguration, you are already eyeing other peoples property. Shameless thieves.

Oga , go back and read and stop talking upside down.
Gbadebo Rhode is a Lagos indigene but was completely suppressed and stopped by people from Ondo , Oyo and the rest.
They should keep making trashy laws and think the rest of us are stupid

The Gbadebo issue is purely political!
They just capitalised on ethnicity and Lagos is no man's land mantra and the flaws of those who holds such insane position.
Those who stopped him are APC, even thugs from any part of the country could have been paid to carry out such service , as long as money is involved , including Yoruba thugs of course
Just like wike stopped people in Rivers and what is obtainable in other states.

Those who voted for Obi in the presidential election and could have voted for Gbadebo in the gubernatorial election are also those Lagos based Ondo, Oyo e .t.c indigenes you mentioned .

So don't mix the two, if you are fighting APC go ahead and fight them but don't make Yoruba people your problem or is Lagos not Yoruba land? even though a lot of them in Lagos still assisted Obi in winning Lagos before APC thugs came and hijack the governorship election.

He is not. Those who are all about ululating that Lagos should be given due status as Yoruba land are descended from castaways of other western states. They cannot stake their claim convincingly that they are aborigines. They are like empty vessels that make the loudest sound. That is why they have made themselves busybodies digging a pit for others, without knowing it is quagmire for their downfall.

@Abagworo,

I've been a veteran member of NL since 2005, and I'm giving this feedback so that YOU will understand things in the right historical context as an old member here yourself.

For your information, over 95% of the total landmass of Lagos State of today was carved out of what is now Ogun State. That part that was carved out when Lagos State was created primarily for the indigenes [Ijebus, Aworis, Ogus, etc] on May 27, 1967 by General Yakubu Gowon alongside 11 other states, was located in the Old Western Region which was governed by the Action Group party of Chief Obafemi Awolowo, GCFR, SAN [who was once the Prime Minister] in partnership with his political lieutenants.

If you look at the FIRST MAP I attached below, you will see that Ijebuland and Aworiland STRADDLE both sides of Ogun and Lagos States.

The Awori-Yorubas who are land owners and indigenes of both Ogun State and Lagos State migrated from Ile Ife in what is now Osun State. Recently, the Awori Obas of Ogun and Lagos States paid a historic visit back to Ile Ife which is their original ancestral homeland and their quarters still exists in Ile Ife as seen in YouTube videos online.

Second, the Ijebu-Yorubas are also indigenes of both Ogun State and Lagos State. Ibeju-Lekki LGA, Ikorodu LGA, Epe LGA, Ajah, etc, are ALL part of the larger Ijebuland which extends directly into Ijebuland in Ogun State.


Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State is an Ijebu man so his presence as the Governor is in order being that Ijebuland is part of Lagos State. Former Governor Akinwumi Ambode is originally an Ilaje-Yoruba man from Ondo State. Ambode's father was a Prince from Ilajeland who was posted to Epe as a teacher during the days of the Old Western Region and he passed on there and his remains were returned to Ondo State as a member of the Royal family in his Ilaje ancestral homeland. Akinwumi Ambode of course grew up in Epe.

Governor Lateef Jakande of Lagos State from 1979 to 1983, was originally from Omu Aran in Kwara State, but was born on Lagos Island after his parents migrated from Omu Aran. Awolowo raised his hands during the 1979 election cycle and his victory was assured.


So, the indigenes of Lagos and Ogun States see themselves as ONE people... the Aworis, Ijebus, Ogus, etc. Even Ijebuland shares boundaries with Osun State as can be seen from the attached map below.

It is just like the Ngwas of Abia who originally migrated from Mbaiseland in Imo State. From the history books and online articles I have read the Ngwas and Mbaise are related to one another. Even Abia State's Alex Otti's paternal ancestry is from Arochukwu, but he is now an Aro-Ngwa.

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.

It's a welcome development. Let it come.
I know the people this coming law will be targeted at. It's the IGBOS, but nothing to worry, we shall at last overcome.
But my concern in all of these is that non- Indigenes will be making laws for indigenous people of Lagos State. This is quite absurd. Mudasiru Obasa is from Ogun State, Sanwo-Olu, Hamzat and lots of them in power today are from states outside Lagos and you want to make laws for indigenes, what an aberration?
For those who will be drafting the laws and reversing the reversibles, know that any law made by any state assembly, in Nigeria that runs contrary to the constitution of Nigeria is already null and void.
We look forward, to seeing them. Good luck.

Lagos is multifaceted in so many ways and that can't be changed overnight. Oba_saa and his goons will come and go but the people of Lagos will remain.

Definitely they don't even know what they're putting their hands into the nigerian constitution is even greater than any lagos by law.

That’s because they killed off the indigenes of California and Florida. So it would be them shooting themselves in the foot if they make laws favouring indigenes because the lawmakers are the invaders. That’s what Lagos state is trying to protect itself from, being overtaken by invaders and refugees! Gerrrit?
