lol. Igbos own Lagos. Oba Eri of Umu-Eri founded Lagos and handed it to his younger brother, Oba of Benin. Oba of Benin then handed over the place to Olofin Ogumfunminire, the father of his girlfriend who then handed it over to Ologun kutere, the product of infidelity between Oba of Benin and Olofin Ogunfunminire's daughter who then handed it over to Ojukwu's father whi then handed it over to Peter Obi and his noisy obidient developers before Tinubu hijacked it from him and kept it to himself since then.

Omo Ibo, hope you enjoyed the history?

In this matter I believe the oba of Benin more..

Why ? Because the Benin kingdom and its obas have the longest recorded history in Nigeria and they also had one of the most formal setting before the advent of the white men in Nigeria.. their history is well documented and not just mere say..

I believe the oba is speaking from a factual point of view than all this emotional hearsay people online..

Lagos was built with the common wealth of Yorubas not Nigeria..

Nigeria only started having its own wealth after the discovery oil..

before the discovery of oil, it was wealth of western Nigeria that was used to sustain Nigeria.

that is one of the reasons your igbo forefathers tried to use a civil war to conquer and take over the SW and Lagos but it failed and backfired. your forefathers could not even get pass Ondo even with the help of Yoruba traitors..

Zonefree:
I stand with Oba of Benin.

MakeWeTalk:

Lagos became what it is becos it was the capital, nothing else.
Igbos do biz there as yorubas do agbero

MT:


Stop being mischievious.

The land ownership being talked about in this context is about "control".

When you say Lagos is a "no man's land", they are not referring to the constitution, they are saying "no one has the control" over this land.

I never say lagos is a no mans land. lol.. You guys and being insecure about land ownership is just pathetic. I said lagos belong to the Nigeria country. Its a state in Nigeria.



When an English man tells a Nigerian who is a British passport holder that - You can ONLY be a British, but you can NEVER be an English - What do you think they are talking about ?.


You make no sense here



When an American tells you to your face to go to your country despite you being a US passport holder, what are they talking about ?.

They tell you but they cannot take you out of America. You have the passport and have the same right as them. Dont be naive. Same right any tribe have in lagos as Nigerian.


By the virtue of their constitution, you are referred to as an American or British, but deep down, they do not really see you as part of them.

Apart or Not, their country have constitution that guide them. A white american doesnt have right more than black British in Britain.


By your flawed logic, a Yoruba should aspire to become Sultan in Sokoto and Ibo should aspire to be Oba of Lagos since no tribe owns anywhere in Nigeria.

No, those are traditional title and tradition is linked to ethinicity. Dont be a child. They can aspire to be governors or any Elective government office in any state. They have that right

I repeat, Yoruba land belongs to the Yoruba people, just like Awka belongs to the Ibos and Gwari people own Abuja.

Okay, if it makes you sleep well at night.. have at it... lol

You are a Nigerian and uses Nigerian passport and live under the Nigerian law and not your ethnic law.

Ethnicity is not the base of country creation or nation formation. You are an adult, you should know that many countries in Africa are multi ethinic. Even outside africa, we have multi-racial. At the present moment, Yo are living under the Nigeria government. I am sure you sing national anthem in school instead of your ethinic song.

Dont be a child, you are bound by your constitution. It overides your ethinicity claim to land ownership. Until the day your ethinicity form their own country, your rights to land ownership is bound by the Nigerian constitution. lol

The word tribe and nation are used interchangeably but hold very different meanings for many Native people.

Nwanna2588:
In the discourse on the Bini versus Yoruba dynamics in Lagos, it becomes apparent that the numerical superiority of the Yorubas tends to exert dominance over the smaller Bini community. Yet, amid this demographic reality, a nuanced acknowledgment emerges – an iota of truth lies in the cultural contributions of the Binis, as reflected in linguistic nuances and place names.

Upon closer inspection, historical vestiges reveal Lagos towns bearing Bini names, challenging the assumption that everything is inherently Yoruba. The very title of "Oba" itself, often deemed quintessentially Yoruba, traces its origins to the Bini culture. This revelation underscores a complexity that defies simplistic categorizations.

However, geographical realities persist, with Lagos firmly situated in the South-West, historically recognized as Yoruba territory. The notion of ceding land based on historical connections clashes with the fundamental principle of territorial sovereignty. It echoes parallels of an Igbo claim to Equatorial Guinea, emphasizing the impracticality of asserting ownership without tangible boundaries.

Drawing a parallel to the Black American experience in claiming ownership of America, the conclusion surfaces – the owner of the land remains the owner, akin to the immutable nature of citizenship. This prompts contemplation on the concept of naturalization, advocating a shift from the right of blood to the right of the soil in the Nigerian context.

In the intricate tapestry of Lagos's identity, acknowledging historical contributions while respecting territorial boundaries becomes pivotal. The discourse urges a reevaluation of citizenship paradigms, inviting a nuanced perspective that accommodates both historical legacies and contemporary realities.

The challenge of many Yoruba people on nairaland is ignorance and timidity. Who ever disagrees with your propaganda and attempts to educate you must be an Igbo. I am not Igbo, I am from the Niger Delta, and my wealth feeds you actually. Without me, you are just another Yoruba Agbero seeking ownership of Lagos State. Some people from Ila Orangun in Osun State and Itire with tribal marks are also claiming to be Lagosians even though no Lagosian has tribal marks.

Shall we begin? Yoruba is a minority tribe in Lagos State. Many Lagosians speak Igbo, Hausa, Fulani, Ibibio etc. If you are not born in Lagos, you are NOT a Lagosian, except you are an investor, so if we go by investment, Igbos own Lagos, full stop.

TheBillyonaire:


Take the emotional lenses off and look at another perspective as follows -

A Lagosian is anyone given birth to in Lagos State, whether his parents speak Hausa, Fulani, Igbo, Yoruba or any other language does not define a Lagosian. We have Igbo speaking part of Cross River at Ukwa, we also have Igbo Speaking part of Akwa Ibom. That does not mean they are not Akwa Ibomites or Cross Riverians. We have Igbo speaking part of Rivers State too.

Lagos is a State. One of the 37 States in Nigeria. Every State that I know of, have many indigenous languages. A State like Cross River, have over 50 languages, and they communicate to each other using English Language.

Lagos State also has so many languages being spoken by Lagos State indigenes, few of the Language are Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, Fulani, Owori, etc.

Osun State indigene is not a Lagosian. Ondo State indigene is not a Lagosian. Anambra Indigene is not a Lagosian, and Edo State Indigene is not a Lagosian.



Lagos is not owned by a tribe at the moment, but there was a time she was owned by Benin, Portugal and a cartain Yoruboid tribe.

Lagos is a former Capital and was built with the common wealth of Nigeria, it is not Yoruba wealth so Yorubas can not say they own a place they did not build. The last owners were actually the ones who named them. Oko is not a known word, it is the first time I am learning that you can name a Bush, as Bush, when we all know that Bush is bush, so thats tautology

I am not Nigerian.. to claim someone is Nigerian means the person ethnicity did not exist before year 1840s which is false and means the person is a creation of british people which is also false..

Okay, show theM your tribal passport at the airport

Ethnicity is the base of country creation. that is why most european countries are named after their european ethnicities.

false

the constitution does not override ethnic claim of land ownership. if that was true then Ijaw militants will not be getting monthly allowance from the F:G.

it does, the ijaw allocation is still under constitution. The 13 percent derivation fund comes from the federation revenue to oil-producing communities through the state governments as enshrined in section 162, sub-section 2 of the Nigerian constitution.

the word tribe and nation are not used interchangeably..

Please, do some research and stop blind argument. I am done with you. You seems soo ignorant and sturborn like those ipob and oduduwa militants.

It has now reached the Stage for Yoruba people to Start learning the Yoruba Moba
Pre Oduduwa History of Lagos
Which is. Incredibly Massive


This is a good opportunity to reteach them including the Epic Yoruba History

Do you know there were moba Yoruba people in Lagos long before Oduduwa was born they had their own Kingdom
And the moba crown predates Oduduwa's own


If we tell them a little of the History of Yoruba Lagos if they have Conscience they will Shut up and beg for Forgiveness

There were Yorubas in Lagos long before Oduduwa was born
The first Oba of Ilesha fetched water from the sea at moba to Cure Oduduwa’s Blindness in the 10 th Century

moba is around Victoria Island
The moba crown Predates Oduduwa’s own it was some of theirPeople that Migrated to Otun Ekiti some are in Ijebu

The 9th Century 160km Eredo Wall near Ijebu was part of their Kingdom that reached the Sea and
Many Islands off the Coast of Lagos

most of the time they are Categorised with the Awori
but though they are now part of the Awori they were in Lagos Centuries Earlier

it was the Pre Oduduwa moba King called Seniade who idol Worshippers deified as Olokun
The Island he ruled from off the Coast of Lagos has now been submerged by the sea
And that was why his people moved to moba

If you see Ancient Yoruba Artifacts in South Africa from before Oduduwa was born Just know that it was moba People who took it there .
They ruled over a String of Islands and were experts in Travelling between Islands in the Atlantic Ocean

Can you see that if you think the History of Lagos Started with Oduduwa in the 10th Century you have not yet began


Sungbo Eredo Wall the UNESCO World heritage Site was built by the Yoruba Moba Pre Oduduwa People of whose Kingdom reached the Islands off the Coast of Lagos

Yoruba History is a God Given Epic

Yoruba is blessed to be situated in an environment where it was selected as the capital.

You cannot cry over that.

God has reasons for creating you into the geographical areas where you were not considered fit to be made the capital.

Deal with it.

GUNITGuy:

Yorubas can't claim them own a place they did not build we are seeing the effects on all this comment in Lagos already....Don't worry shebi they saying people are building on drainage wait till 2027 after the election then you would know who truly owns the Place ....

Just dy play😂. Like as we Yoruba dy follow una claim anambra or Enugu or kaduna or Kano. Cos all this places are cosmopolitan city. How would a sensible person in is right sense come all the way from the east and south south and start claiming land in the west

I will like to communicate with a Lagos State indigene Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba, Bini etc extraction. I am not interested in chatting with someone from Osun and Ondo State.

Most people from Lagos State that I know are very civil and smart, but I see a lot Ijebu Ode people coming online to claim ownership of Lagos instead of their own State.

The demolition in Lagos is to solve economic menace, and most of the people who develop properties in Lagos and Abuja happen to the people from South Eastern States whose business thrive in Lagos and Abuja.

Property development is a Business, if they build at Erosion site, it is a risk and if they lose at Ikota, they will mark up the price somewhere else. Business has risks.

There is always that glass ceiling placed on you if you are a foreigner, do not be deceived.

Wallade:


Really, so why would the Oba of Benin be interested in sharing this information that his predecessors never shared or opined?

If that opinion of the Obama of Benin is true, why did none of his predecessors push that analogy?

Whatever history informed him must have been documented by his predecessors.

you have a right to deceive yourself and continue mis-informing yourself that is your truth.

GUNITGuy is right and you're still deceiving yourself..

most of what is Lagos today was orignally part of Ogun state..

why are you not talking and concerned about your SE states?

will you die if you talk about your SE states

why covet and envious of what is not your state or region?
