Oga it is the progeny of Adele, prince Adeniji Adele that's saying this!

What's difficult here,go back to your Oshogbo,at least your "beloved" Betty ain't the 1st lady anymore 😁

It's you Igbos that are obsessed with Lagos.. we Yorubas aren't. It's part and parcel of our birthright and heritage.

Moreover there is no big deal with me living in Osogbo or Ibadan.. as long as it's Western region and inter-connected with road and rail system, I'm fine.

What I am kicking against is this alien behaviour of some Lagosians attacking and inciting other Lagosian through unguarded utterances.. The Aworis, Egbas, Ijebus, Eguns etc. are all indigenous to Lagos but don't go about making reckless statements like some are busy doing. It's until internal clashes start in Lagos that eyes of people like Bode George will clear.

FYI, the Lagos State today is made up of over 85% of lands ceded to her by Ogun State.

My mum is from lagos state not lagos island and has always felt part of southwest Nigeria even till date.

My mum is ijebu from lagos.
There's no arguments about that, Lagos remains a south west state and the indigenes of the state wanna be stakeholders. I am sure your dear mum too and her Lagos family will fancy that..also you should not be biased cos the Gbadebo Rhodes Vivour is also a lagos indigenes which you guys denied o.

Don't be ridiculous. Ibos are totally obsessed with Lagos. Can you imagine Iwuanyanwu saying Ibos developed Lagos when there are are historical records to the contrary?
A Yoruba man wants to go to London or New York, the Ibo man wants to go to Lagos.

Very incoherent talk.

Look around You,Igbos are in the middle belt,North,SS and other States in SW aside Lagos. Have You been to Owode Ibadan??
Go to Cameroon,go to the Igbo communities in Ghana,Togo, Benin Republic,Congo, Guinea Bisau,Ivory coast etc you will see that truly Igbo brings in the new game in business, commerce and standard of living,You are just obsessed and addicted to doing your senseless tribal banters with your co shameless tribalist from the other side grin cheesy

Just imagine how You sound, Yorubas want to go to London but Igbos want to go to Lagos grin grin grin cheesy you guys will never ever understand how lame y'all sound when you do dis dry, senseless tribal gbasgbos grin grin grin

My brother moved his family from Lagos to London recently,they are Igbos too oo,no dey do this senseless tribal gbasgbos e dey make person sound very very STUPID to tell you the truth grin grin

No problem nah,all the people whose land were ceded, probably against their wish,all they are saying is that they want to be stakeholders of where they now belong,they want to be major players of the place you and your Ogun pushed them to,simple,period. You cannot push me away and still carry yourself come to still control me nah,haba!

Ok sir, but I need more explanation.
Good. Because if you were Yoruba or has even travelled deep into Yoruba towns and villages, you'd have realized what ghost towns they were because once they left for the city, they never really come back. You would usually find a population of old people. Their children left many years ago and are living large in Lagos, their roots forgotten.

That's the problem.

If some people in lagos island feel they should run lagos, other parts of lagos will always gang up against them.

The Aworis and ijebus will always gang up against them and they will continue to just make noise.

Indigenes of Lagos State have vowed to reject a Bill seeking the return of Nigeria to regional government.

By Dapo Akinrefon

Speaking under the aegis of De Renaissance Patriots Foundation, the Lagos Indigenes, in a statement by its Media Office, revealed that a proposed Bill seeking approval of the National Assembly to return Nigeria to regional system is set to be considered but insisted that Lagos State people will not be part of the Western Region.

But De Renaissance Patriots Foundation, in a statement by Adelani Adeniji-Adele said: “This bill that is being proposed or suggested spells an ominous sign to us from Lagos State. It is a further attempt to subsume our aspiration into a larger group that is antithesis to whatever we believe in as indigenes of the state.

“The first most important is that vast consultations were not held on the matter to find out if being submerged into another subgroup is a thing we desire. It cannot be generally assumed.

“Generally and since Lagos and its environs became a colony, we have always maintained that we prefer a stand alone status and not be part of any Western Region or Province.

“In recent times, our various indigenous groups had always maintained that we as indigenes of Lagos had always been having a raw deal from our neighbours in the South West, who see nothing good in us as they are only for project to marginalize us and see our state as ‘spoils of war’.

“We recall that in our history of over 100 years, Lagos indigenes in their various forms, towns and villages have never made progress and development as part of any region not to talk of the Western Region. The brief balkanization of our state to be part of the Western Region was an aberration.

“Nothing should be assumed especially from the contents of this proposed bill, especially if it has the inclusion of Lagos State as part of any region. We demand a referendum to actually reflect the wishes of the people.

“We, the indigenes of Lagos State, do not wish to be part of the regional state as being proposed in the Bill returning Nigeria to regional government. Our leaders and traditional rulers opposed it in 1953 and we gained respite in 1967. We, offspring of our heroes’ past, will not accept it.

“We enjoin our representatives in the National Assembly to consult with the elders statesmen and stakeholders before taking any action on the Bill. This is beyond the ruling party and state government affairs. Lagos State cannot be brought into nothingness through the South West Region proposal by this Bill surreptitiously.

Certainly, they are entitled to their state business. However, if this proposal is to fly, Lagos State must forgo all areas presently under its jurisdiction that were previously part of the Western Region. Let us see who will ultimately laugh last.

Lies. Lagos was the first colony created in Nigeria
ElSudani:


Nonsense. There's no Lagos without Yorubaland because the current Lagos territory was carved out of it.

Awori people, the original owners of Lagos has always been a different people from the yorubas. They have different mentality and different way of life which is more civilized.
