They are not the only ones that will need a referendum. So, tell him to cool down first. It will be regionalism first then peoples who are not okay with where they find themselves in the six regions coming will be sorted out with referendums. Tell the guy crying that the south west achieved greatness without Lagos in the past to the extent that we were financing FG. Tell him, Lagos Stste today is not the the Lagos crown colony of the past he is crying about. Today, we hall evidence to say some of the FG facilities and infrastructure every Nigerian is enjoying now were fradulently acquired from the old Western Region. We will be great again.

I read somewhere that Abuja house in UK was actually the property of the old Western Region.

LMAO. Some 2% came from Sudan. That's what the old kabiyeai is talking about.

Majority of Ijebus are from Ile ife. Even the crown the awujale is wearing is that of Obanta from Ife. I do not expect an IPOB like yourself to know this though.

Anyway, vote for Chinedu Anambala 2027.

That is the spirit.

Just like Igbos are not worrying about having Calabar or Uyo in their geopolitical zone. Yorubas have enough in the remaining states and human resources, to still be bigger and greater than Lagos, but people like Tinubu must be kept out of leading Yorubas for Yorubas to achieve their full potential.

Even if Port-Harcourt and Ikwerres refuse to join Igbo and opt to team up with Ijaws and other minorities, the Igbo geo-political zone will grow and become much greater than the region that Port-Harcourt is a part of, once full restructuring takes place.


NOBODY will drag LAGOS with anyone. We're happy for her development and progress and PRAY such continue. But when the WESTERN REGION carved out the old parts of the province that were annexed to LAGOS to create the state, hope some people won't cry foul then. It seems someone doesn't know where his right ends. If they're truly indigents to the state, I'm sure they'll know better.
They can always have their LAGOS ISLAND, VICTORIA ISLAND and IKOYI but if they're thinking about taking everything, including what we lent to them, that's where each of those id!ots will know how worthless they are.

so who are the lagosian? Because the last I checked, I have never heard of the nameless group and has a lagosian, I was not consulted and they are not speaking for anyone. Lagos is Yorubaland and bordered by Yoruba states, so pls make us understand what the insane group of faceless people is talking about?

This was the Latest Map

Ebute Meta in Lagos was a Port of the Oyo Empire controlled by the Oloto of Oto

Badagry was also one of Alaafin of Oyo's Ports

Porto Novo in Benin Republic was another one
The 4th one was Jakin also in Benin Republic but that one was lost to the King of Dahomey in War

This is the correct map before the Western region was created and history was changed. That's why it is called the Bight of Benin and not the Bight of Oyo.

Lagos will rather be forcefully annexed than stay alone. Lagos is strategic to the Yoruba race.

Who are the so-called indigenes in the first place? Is it the returnee slaves or the Nupe slaves?

The indigenes I know are Ijebus, Aworis, Egbas, and Egun

Instead of worrying about the Western region, worry about the fate of your people who are cowards. 40m people forced to sit at home every Monday by a ragtag group with less than 1,000 members.

Worry about a landlocked region filled with terrorists, criminals, drug dealers and baby factories. Btw, I don't know what Delta people will do but this is a pictorial evidence of how Ore will look one week after regionalism. Our Itsekiri and Edo brothers will be the only ones allowed free movement.

Ol guy, you are a very bitter man. Even if all Igbos in the world are kept off, your bitterness will not leave you alone. You will carry over your bitterness to people of your tribe and to your immediate family. You get serious problems but you don't know.

This is the To correct Map

Benin was defeated with Tremendous Swagger


The Yoruba even drowned Oba Ehengbuda of Benin and his War entourage

Your map was 16 th Century after the Nupes invaded Oyo and Benin did a land Grab of Oyo Coastal Territory

Basorun Yamba ,Jagun Oyo Lagelu of Ibadan and his Army helped Awori and Chased them back to Benin with Tremendous Swagger

A remnant were given Permission allowed to Remain on Lagos Island after Much begging from Benin

After Benin defeat they now started begging and pleading Oduduwa brotherhood for small Trading post on Lagos Island and was granted small Trading post at Isale Eko on Lagos Island
Oba Ado an Awori was put in Charge of it

This one is late 17th Century
Yours was the 16th Century Map

Exactly. Reason why I love the anti Igbo grandstanding in Rivers state. We for build all those industry in Onitsha, Nnewi and Aba inside PH. Yorubas should look into their hinterland towns and stop deceiving themselves with Lagos
add your 5plot of land together, no one comes close to Ibadan and even Ogun state is more industrialised than your whole region, so you should take your own advise and develop your barren region maybe that will stop your people from dying on Benin/ore road just to escape poverty in that cursed region….small yansh sef Dey shake😂

This is one very unintelligent post, SMH

Yes, because it doesn't suit your narrative. Every region, even in highly homogeneous societies in Europe has minority groups.

All six geopolitical zones will have minority groups if we are to go back to regionalism. Awories and eguns in Lagos, Eguns, Esans, etc, in Ondo will only become minority group in South west because they're already in South west geopolitical zone.

Only an illiterate will say these tiny minorities will create their own region outside of the obvious partition they belong to.

I will day it again, this should not be an issue to discuss at all.

Their " Gedegbe L'eko Wa" started and ended at Lagos Island

FULANI caused possible disintegration of Nigeria starting 1999-2001 when FULANI introduced Sharia Criminal justice system to all the 12 northern States largely controlled by the Fulani.
All the 12 Sharia states adopted the unconstitutional sharia criminal laws.
The least that can be done to save Nigeria and progress its citizens is zonal or regional government system.

The moment other south western Nigeria allows the threats of Lagos to get at them then they will never develop but slave forever .

You can't force friendship with anyone.
"Nkan ni adiye nje ki Agbado to d'aiye"

We should rather take up the challenge now and build ourselves from scratch.

The south west is blessed super abundantly..
Both with natural resources and human capabilities and capacities.
The future is bright with right focus and right leaderships.

Yorubas should get themselves strengthened now because either now or later the Omo ales of Lagos will want to prove that without them Yoruba race wiill go into extinction.

But hell No.

I can assure everyone that Yoruba race is great and can be greater without Lagos.

Lagos was part of South West region at independence.

Nigeria's Military officials from Northern region created the 36 states and Abuja political structure; gave 19 states + Abuja to one region but 17 states to two southern regions; to funnel oil revenues to the northern region. Otherwise; there should have been more states in the two southern regions thsn in the Northern region. Land mass or population figures is not used as yardstick to determine where new federal units can be created in a country formed by different regions.

But it has never happened. Your people right from Awo knew why they were afraid of allowing Biafrans to go. The development will be unmatched and you don't kid me to know better than them. But the truth is that the agitation has refused to go away, let there be referendum today, 99.9% Igbos will be on its actualisation

Don’t drag Awo into this because your forefathers told you lies to hide their shame of defeat in the war. We are not the ones denying you referendum, in fact it was Zik that insisted there should be no referendum when Awo and Sardauna insisted on it but they agreed because they wanted the British to leave quickly.

Referendum is a win win for us. Either you go (we lose nothing) or you stay (you swallow humble pie) either is a win for us…..we don’t care. The whole of SE is just about the size of Oyo state. If it were enough for you, you wouldn’t be fleeing in droves.

Let me also let you know that the real reason why you haven’t been granted a referendum is not because anyone cares if you leave. The real reason is because the North is not United and opening the door to the SE May open the door to minority tribes in the North. The North is fractured and hasn’t been the same because they don’t have a “leader” like they had under Ahmad’s Bello….that’s the real reason there is fear of referendum….that it will lead to balkanization of the North. Trust me nobody cares if you leave, not the North not the Sw and not the SS. Stop giving yourselves more importance than is merited.

I keep saying that I wish a leader will be bold enough to call your bluff, they know it’s a bluff but like I said it’s not you they are worried about. Ask the rest of Nigeria if they care and they will all tell you the same thing. So why haven’t they granted the referendum? …because it’s not losing you they are worried about.

Again I repeat the SE is the most dependent on the rest of Nigeria for its livelihood.

Please let me state this, ibos are our brothers and sisters, that’s how we grew up. I always saw myself as a Nigerian and never about tribe but you guys are overplaying your hand with this tribe thing and it’s getting tiresome. At some point people call your bluff when the noise becomes too much.
