The Op posted a random harmless picture of VI, I couldnt find any Yoruba person tryna claim anything, instead, the whole thread is filled with Non-Yorubas trying to tell us who really made Lagos If u have a sound mind, you should know who truly is obsessed with Lagos 14 Likes 4 Shares |

Bardo: The picture you posted is the reason every sane Yoruba must support return to regionalism.. With regional Government, people like Ikpeazu won't be able to divert billions of naira into their pockets using non-existent airport in Abia State. To make the entire South West beautiful like V.I is not rocket science.. It's a matter of commitment and quality leadership. The British didn't fall from heaven so we can and will do better than them when regional government comes. 12 Likes 4 Shares |

DMerciful:You do realize that the governor of Lagos state is a yoruba man and the governor before that was a Yoruba dude and the one before that and the one before. Even during the military era all lagos' governors have been Yoruba. And after Sanwoolu the next governor would be Yoruba. 12 Likes 2 Shares |

flokii:So you want to divert the wealth of Lagos to go and develop those rustic slums so that Lagos will turn into rustic slums too? keep Lagos out of it and develop your region Especially the part that belongs to bini |
Re: Welcome To Victoria Island by Raf4: 2:12pm On Jun 08 |
DMerciful: You're only deceiving yourself. Lagos had been a Yoruba sprawling community for centuries b4 the advent of Europeans/colonialists. Their coming exposed the locals to various international trading activities and this helped tremendously in the development of Lagos. So, Lagos was developed largely by indigenous Yoruba and Europeans to the extent that as far back as 1860s Lagos could boast of electricity, telegram, postal services, tarred roads, recreation centres, business centres, elite groups, Cathedrals, hospitals, schools etc. That was more than 50yrs b4 anything called Nigeria ever came to being. Lagos didn't need Nigeria to develop, but Nigeria needed Lagos as at the time they made it the federal capital. NB: if you're looking for a town they built for you from the scratch, look in the direction of Enugu and Umuahia. 8 Likes 2 Shares |

guysbewise: Lagos was also Oyo Colony too Olofin was under Alaafin It was Lagelu of Ibadan who was Jagun of Oyo that Alaafin Sent with his Army that helped Awori defeat the Benin Invasion of Lagos The Benins were so devastatingly defeated that Oba Ehengbuda of Benin was drowned with his entourage of War Chiefs The Ijebu’s of Eastern Lagos had not yet joined the War so you can see how completely hopeless Benins situation was 10 Likes 3 Shares

Re: Welcome To Victoria Island by Diego35M: 2:58pm On Jun 08 |
DMerciful:you are right, no fear when you say this kind of things, just respect the indegenes out of Godship but by right Lagos is the former capital of Nigeria and is a no man's land (belongs to no one or no particular region) Lagos is a Nigerian territory just located in the South West, finish. E just be like when gwagi people start dragging Abuja capital after maybe if it's been moved to another location in the future and after it has been developed with Nigeria's and Niger deltans oil money, dey play to people wey think say dem get Lagos cos you need to be arrested for such stupid comments 1 Like |

Raf4: Not everyone is Yoruba or Igbo in this country. If you had a broader perspective maybe it will help you. From what you wrote, I am positive you’re NOT from Lagos state. My question is what has Nigeria taken from the south west? What does Lagos produce? I’m asking you based on what you wrote. Kindly educate me. |
Re: Welcome To Victoria Island by Christistruth00: 3:13pm On Jun 08 |
Raf4: God Bless you too. It was only in Yorubaland that they didn’t build any Town from scratch because 10 out of the 11 biggest towns in Nigeria were in Yorubaland Kano was the Single exception!! Instead of being contented with Enugu and Umuahia that Lord Lugard and the British built for them they are eyeballing Lagos. Which of their leaders has done more for them than Lord Lugard? Yet as we speak their People are still Cursing him for it 9 Likes 1 Share |

Why is this not replicated anywhere else in SW? Raf4: |
Re: Welcome To Victoria Island by DMerciful(m): 4:08pm On Jun 08 |
Marwa is yoruba? The ones i highlighted below are Yorubas? Again, whether they're Yorubas or not doesn't mean they can take Lagos. Tunde835:

Re: Welcome To Victoria Island by DMerciful(m): 4:11pm On Jun 08 |
They have more numbers and thugs in Lagos as well as they can easily come from other SW states due to proximity. How long can they employ violence in elections? 10yrs? 30yrs? There will be no regional government, restructuring will be on the basis of states EmperorCaesar: |
Re: Welcome To Victoria Island by DMerciful(m): 4:15pm On Jun 08 |
Enugu was never capital of Nigeria so your assertion does not make sense. Even at that nobody is stopping you from claiming Enugu because its a Nigerian territory, it belongs to all Nigeria. If you have money to buy house there, who would stop you? Christistruth00: |
