Micheal56:


The people of Awoyaya at Lagos island are the real lagosian and badagry

DMerciful:
An Ondo indigene is never a Lagos indigene. There's no law that would favour and Ondo man in Lagos that would not equally favour a man like me from Delta.

Any law that contravenes the constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria remains invalid

OkoAmarashy:


As at late 1950s when Awolowo was flying helicopter to the SS, the kids weren't wearing clothes yet.

The Lagos airport which was renamed Murtala Muhammed Airport in Lagos was built in 1947. As at that time, your parents in Igboland were still jumping from tree to tree, fighting over bananas.

Tflex01:


Lol dey play...

Ogun, Ondo, Ekiti and other SW Yorubas up to Kwara dominate Lagos State House of Assembly.

FreedomfromtheT:
According to the dictionary, an indigene is a person who originates from a particular place.
If your parents are from Osun, Oyo, Ekiti, Kwara or Ogun state, you are simply a non indigene of Lagos state.
Do you now understand?

FreedomfromtheT:
My parents are from Imo State but I have lived in Lagos for the most part of my life.
My younger siblings were born and grew up in Lagos and are still living here.
A lot of my friends and neighbours' parents are either from Ogbomosho, Ondo, Abeokuta, Ifo, Ota, Ibadan, Ilorin, Oshogbo, Ijebu Ode, Ijebu Igbo, Sagamu, Ilawe Ekiti, Owo and various parts of Southwest.
Please stop mixing up being Yoruba with being an indigene of Lagos.
So who is an indigene of Lagos?

helinues:


Yoruba's are one . We no dey do superiority battle between us like some people. Spare part dealer association can only have leaders from some restricted states. The rest state are inconsequential

An Ondo indigene is also a Lagos indigene.

Okan ni Yoruba

FreedomfromtheT:
Your answer is the usual tribalistic innuendo that is neither here nor there.
I have been living among Yorubas for too long to know how 'united' Yorubas are even children from same parents fighting over Ogun (inheritance).
This is not about whether Yorubas are more united than other tribes or not.
Who are the indigenes of Lagos?

You are welcome.

Early lgosian were slaves that returned from Brazil and Portuguese

Bro they settle across the ocean Na third mainland bridge join everybody
They were know as the early settlers
Na Benin people get mainland e.g ikorodu

Geez! You guys are so dense, sha

You have just read how the first Portuguese explorer came to lagos in 1472 and met with the Olofin family. This is the same place your repertrated slave,
settled in the 1800s and they were the early settlers.
Guess, they didn't meet anyone in the Highland.

Even Freetown in Sierra Leone where the Americans settled their slaves, they were indigenous people, already present there.

Ikorodu belongs to the ijebus in the former western region. Btw, what's the meaning of Ikorodu in Benin?

Who are the original Lagosians?
Awori is generally considered to be the earliest dominant tribe in Lagos, even though the throne for the Oba of Lagos had its origin from Benin. In an interview with The Punch, Nigerian lawyer and elder statesman, Lateef Olufemi Okunnu described the Aworis as being the original inhabitants of Lagos State.

collins011:


I think when the time comes we will need to approach Supreme Court to interpret who’s an indigene and how to determine indigenship. Accept few countries like UAE and few others, once you’re born, bread and race in a place that automatically gives you indiginship rights

7lives:


Indegenes of Lagos state are those whose family names and history, are documented in the Lagos state archives at Alausa.
By their family name you shall know them.
Agoro, Olotto, Eleko, Ojora, Obanikoro, Eletu, Bajulaye, Olofin, Oniru, Onitire, Oniba, Fernandez, Domingo's, Santos, Pedro, Suarez, Bamgbose, Odunifa, Hundenyi, Akapo, should I go on?.
More answers are waiting at Alausa.

AfonjaScud:


Trash.

AfonjaScud:



A very senseless, thoughtless and irresponsible thread this is.
Why do you want to commit suicide over Yorubas' affairs ?
Do they come to the SE to meddle in your affairs ?

Akpangbo:




I told you to allow them make the law. The law will hit them more. The law be interpreted and the meaning of indigenes will be lay bay. Then we shall see how osun man will come and rule Lagos.

ImperialYoruba:


Indigenes of Lagos trace root to an Agbole.

Which Agbole in Lagos is your root? The answer to this question is the first step in identifying an indigene.

T8ksy:



And where are the Aworis from?
