Having been born and bred in Lagos and armed with deep knowledge of Nigeria ancient and tribal history.

Actually one of the first settlers in downtown Lagos were Aworis. Then came the Benin who set up the Lagos Monarchy (A Benin prince) and named the city Eko. Up till today, the Oba of Lagos is still a Benin Prince.

However with the advent of the Portuguese and British, they started developing other parts of present day Lagos - which hitherto, were forest, bushes, swamps and creek.

What followed were MIGRATION of people from different parts of present day Nigeria and Africa continents such as Togo, Benin Republic etc.

YORUBA MIGRANTS TO LAGOS

For many of you who were born in the 80s or were not residing in Lagos in the 70s, let me tell you that Yorubas like most people in Lagos today, were also MIGRANTS to Lagos to work and better their lives. To access the Federal Govt special focus for development in Lagos. To them, migrating to Lagos was a greener pasture.

I personally witnessed the INFLUX of people into Lagos in the 70s and early 80s. They were mostly from the present day Osun, Ogun and Oyo states.

They loathed and very much DISSOCIATED themselves from being link to Lagos. They hated being called or referred to as 'Omo Eko'.

You hear them say, "Emi onse ara eko o, omo ilu oke lemi o " (Am not a Lagosian, am a proper indigene of...)

They were very PROUD to tell they're in Lagos to work, hustle and go back home. They referred to Lagos as "oko" (farm, work place) - not HOME! This prayer were common then: "ki olorun je ako ere oko dele o" (May God help us prosper and go back home with prosperity)

WHEN DID YORUBA START CLAIMING LAGOS?

Now the generation who migrated to Lagos, either came with their wives or later married in Lagos. Of course most NEVER married Lagos based girls, they traveled back to their country homes to pick wives back to Lagos.

In the year 1990, Ibrahim Babangida finished and commissioned the MASSIVE 3rd Mainland Bridge in Lagos. It was a sight to behold; the biggest and most profound Bridge, arguably in the whole of Africa then. It was a big fanfare.

That was the beginning of "Lagos is Yorubaland" among the younger generation of Yoruba MIGRANTS to Lagos.

The younger generation of the Yoruba MIGRANTS were 'waohed' and in their emotional ECSTASY started saying to themselves; "Nnkan toda sele nile yoba" (good things happening in Yorubaland and such cliches.

Gradually, that mantra spread. And as economic activities grow further, competition for economic space couple with rising employment and population explosion, the younger generation started 'fighting' telling others "Lagos is Yorubaland" to gain advantage.

CHILDREN Of YORUBA MIGRANTS IN 20s - 30s AGE BRACKET

Over the years, however it has assumed a formidable CULTURE among their children who were born in Lagos in the mid-80s to the early 20s.

And for these young boys and girls (now in their 20s and 30s), who were born and raised during the ERA of "Lagos is Yorubaland" are the ones CHAMPIONING this course now.

They're everywhere online. Whenever the issue of region crops us, a young lady/man from Ogun state (maybe Egba, Ijebu) will bring Lagos to his/her defense.

BUT WHY THIS UNFORTUNATE TREND?

It is not their fault at all. First realize that most they don't know their parents ancestral homes and UNLIKE their parents and grannies, they were NOT grilled into their ancestral lineage.

In facts, majority can't speak their own dialects. They are NOT proud of their ancestry because EVERYTHING about them is Lagos. And having hear all their lives that "Lagos is Yorubaland" have made it extremely difficult for this generation to EXTRICATE themselves from this fallacy.

POLITICIANS ARE MILKING IT

Trust politicians and tribal leaders, who'd been applying this trend to not only stay in power looting the state dry, but are CHEATING everyone in the process.

These evil people (politicians and tribal leaders) have consistently promote the "Lagos is Yorubaland" to the Yoruba MIGRANTS over the years, to achieve THREE benefits:

1) To suppress the Aworis and other first indigens to their rights in Lagos;

2) To have a complete PERPETUITY and CONTROL over Lagos wealth;

3) To use the misguided children of the Yoruba MIGRANTS to fight their fights. To put them in arms way when crises breaks out.

For example, during the last election, thousands of this generation were PRIMED to do battle to 'defend Lagos' with their lives, while TINUBU, Fashola and others had carefully smuggled their families abroad.

PS: Just watch out on this forum, how this same Yoruba generation whose parent MIGRATED to Lagos, will start raining abuses and insults on me. Just take time to read the quotes later

Nonsense, My grandma is 76 and was born in Lagos in the 1930's and we are Yoruba.

Please stop your foolish nonsense here, do not go any further in causing unnecessary trouble. Yorubas have lived in Lagos for hundreds of years.

Op, you must be a learner coz this topic has already been thrashed into the dustbin where it belongs. But really, what exactly is your motive? Is it that you are trying to fabricate a basis for further laying claim to Lagos? No Yorubaman is dragging Anambra or Enugu with una so why don't you stay the fvck out of our biz?? Whether you choose to accept it or not, Lagos is and will remain Yorubaland. I don't get you Igbos. For real. You people are sick. Smh.

SCIENCE is a: French, English, Italian Etc word that has its origin in Latin
How does that stop the word from being any less English?
Oba of Benin himself bears a title that has its origins in Yorubaland..... so If you say Lagos is Benin, then Benin is yoruba...isn't that so?

Lagos means rivers in Portuguese, what the ignoramus is trying to say is that Yoruba cannot be translated.

Lagos = Eko. Simple.

What's the meaning of "eko" in yoruba language?

Lagos is 100% Yorubaland pure and simple.
Yorubaland extends even more Westwards than Lagos into Republic of Benin and Togo...
And here , someone is thinking Lagos is not Yorubaland....Lmao ... so Lagos is an Enclave right in the middle of Yoruba territory Abi?

The natives of Lagos state are made up of 2 major groups
1 YORUBAS
subdivided into: Aworis, Ijebus, Egbas and Saros

2 GUN GBE
These are the Ogus (Eguns) some of which live in Badagry LGA.
They are a much smaller minority though.... And even they, migrated to Lagos (Yoruba territory) as refugees from the Dahomean wars
Here is their Wiki page:

Don't yo dare come here attempting to tell us our history.... Yoruba are no fools.

If they like they should cook, spice, fry and fabricate a spurious history that suits their wet dreams. None of that will change the fact that Yorubas are and will always remain the Landlords of Lagos. Make them go build their own for SE Dem no gree. Instead na Yorubaland Dem dey feju mo. Na wah.

Go back to Oshogbo ASAP!!!!

what kind of silly question are you asking her? we know the meaning of Eko. i know you don't. ur thread is not necessary based on the fact you might be igbo. what do you stand to achieve by this thread? to mean lagos is no man's land right? did you asked you father or ur family they didn't tell you where you came frm in the south east?

you don't belong to lagos simple. no igbo is a native of lagos like no yoruba claimed to be from anywhere in the Southeast and southsouth except Edo.

You should answer my question first.

Omololu007:
so ikorodu,oniru,ikeja are ibo lands abi?

The aforementioned people are the INDIGENOUS LAGOSIANS. Lagos is not for ALL YORUBA as you migrant claim so that you can continue ruling Lagos against the wishes of the indigenous people. Lagos is for Lagosians only, you Yoruba migrant should go back to Oshogbo please.

Look here
SCIENCE is a: French, English, Italian Etc word that has its origin in Latin
How does that stop the word from being any less English?

Oba of Benin himself bears a title that has its origins in Yorubaland..... so If you say Lagos is Benin, then Benin is yoruba...isn't that so?
