Obviously it was an irresponsible thing to say.....if they really did say it. However, when the Oba threatened death, curses and blood on Igbos, people told igbos to calm down, take it as a joke they said. Take your own advice the take the statement of no man's land as a joke......... lagos is not a no man's land as nowhere in africa is, but during the years it was the capital and now the commercial capital, people forfeited in favour of being a capital, to an extent they also have a claim on Lagos, even if not in the same way as a person who'svillage is in Lagos soil. people call lagos home and have contributed to it's growth.....all people in their own way have done that at the expense of their own regions and the place was also favoured by successive governments before the creation of abuja, not as a yoruba city.....but as the capital city. Aside from all this childish nonsense now going on.......I believe it shows that intead of people going to Lagos and using their sweat there, they should have built up their own region. They say, you can't have your cake and eat it.......now we see why We dont need any Oba or APGA to show us that there is tribalism, on any given day even here on NL the sentiment is actually the same.....the tribalism is still as much present. The best answer is for the Igbos to go back to their region and build it up to the extent that those insulting them now will actually marvel. The best answer for someone who despises you is to be an undeniable success. let your own region be te beneficiary of that success also, before Nigeria benefits as a country. 6 Likes |

Mcowubaba: Why argue on what you do not know. In the past, I would laugh and move on but it was getting out of hand. Wars actually starts with venomous words; "Aburi accord" comes to mind. Kids wake up, get distorted stories from ignorant parents and begin to shout "Na our Land". When you play their history before them, honestly, they will shy away. As at 1872, Lagos was then a British Colony, it had an estimated population of 60,000 people, including Europeans of only 100, the Saros from Sierra-Leone, repatriated Brazilian and Cuba slaves and yoruba slaves because the British abolished slave trade and considered Lagos a free zone, but slave trade was being perpetrated secretly. Now put that population up with the present Lagos population; what is Lagos - a land full of immigrants. So why would an ignorant fool come up here and tell me he is the owner of Lagos. |

AgentMS: well someone is threatening deatjhto others if they should vote for a fellow yoruba man.....thats is how things like you describe begin. i agree it was in bad taste to sack people just because they were from a particular state, but at least they were reinstated and it did not have widespread approval o the people. |

londoner:You cannot sabotage the progress of our land. We cannot afford to hand over our blossoming state into the hands of hawkish, divisive and clannish PDP party. What has PDP done for Lagos in 16years and now they want Lagos?. We shall not allow them to use people from across the Niger to truncate our progress. We know tha bad party and we know the fairly good. We shall stick with the fairly good that we know for now, till a better one surfaces. Why must they even consider sacking people from the same Igbo speaking states at all? Tells so much about the unity that exists. What do.you have to say about the supremacy of Anambra people over all of you? Very funny group of people. 3 Likes |

Horllamideh:Yes, pDP may have a hand in fuelling it probabiy, becuse the comment by the Oba were over orginal and coming direct. And bad-news sell pass, nobody expected such from Oba of Lagos.

Mcowubaba: To answer your question, we are complying these information and trying to make a script for movie lovers. Since our schools failed to teach us history, we would not fail our children. Secondly, yes the constitution enables an Igbo resident who has spent 10 years or more or was born in a particular location to contest for election and be voted for. Election is all about the people, if majority of the people likes such person, regardless of tribe, the constitution empowers the person to govern. So the nonsense of indigenes should stop and we must learn to respect and tolerate each other and their interest. A word for the Oba. What the Oba or some of the funny people here are doing is to build the political consciousness of the igbo ethnic group, trust me the day they know their power, there will be serious political power tussle. 1 Like |

So funny what one gets to read from ignorant/misinformed people. No time to run a History 101 class here but people should note that the Western Region extended to most parts of Lagos Mainland and developments were possible because of money made from cocoa and trading with Europeans. Most of the houses on the Island were built by indigenous Lagosians and returnee Yoruba slaves. Ikeja, Mushin,Oshodi and Ilupeju industrial estates belonged to the former Western region hence a lot of Wemabod (Odua Investment) interest in those areas. The GRAs and residential estates were all planned by them. Agege, Ikorodu, Epe and Badagry also fell under the control of Western Region until Lagos State was created in 1967. Festac (arising from Festac77),MMIA, National Theatre/Stadium and Trade Fair complex are the major investments on the mainland built by the Federal govt. 4 Likes |

shhymexx: Go out and play with your mates and stop being obsessed with Igbos. You are too tribalistic with an anger issues that will mess up your life. Now stop mentioning my name here and jog on. Ignore my posts, it wasn't posted for people like you. Finally, stop making threats, you've never met me or know anything about me. Do not ruin your life. Yorubas are known for wisdom, that corrupt ex police man turned local chief did not reflect that assumption and how a bully like him ended on that seat is beyond me. I would say the same thing if an Igbo man acted like that. No one should make excuses here on his behalf. He and all those bunch of phhools who applauded and patronised his silly threats should be flogged. 1 Like |

delpee: When you talk of history, you start with the origin of a place. All I read is a modern Lagos. A Lagos that has experience independence. I would love to dive into this but it is not related. When I talk Lagos, I mean Eko long before the Portuguese discovered the island, an era when the Benin empire was gaining prominence and spreading its powers across the atlantic, an era when the Oba of Benin was worshipped as a god and his words were laws. The only empire I would pay little notice is the Oyo empire another beautiful history story. |
