I don't see any reason why any of us should bother about what a stranger says about our region. Does it change anything? The Op should take a visit to Oba akinola. His life will never remain the same again..i tell yaaa 5 Likes |

It seems this op don't know the different between Lagos and Lagos state. The Lagos that you said was first rule is the part of the island. Am from ikorodu part of Lagos, and our origin is pure ijebu as well as epe, and others.... The awori only occupied part of Benin Republic Ogun state and part of Lagos state which is badagry 3 Likes |

saxywale: Lol. Guy, you just reminded me of a remarkable experience I had in Ibadan about a year ago. I paid a visit to IITA ibadan and in the course of my visit i met with an unassuming igboman, a gentleman I might add. At a point during our meeting he had to quickly attend to a group of local farmers. Na so the guy begin converse in proper Ibadan dialect with the group. I was shocked! He later made me understand that he's lived in Ibadan since the early 80s and that while his wife and kids live in Lagos, he personally prefers ibadan. Guy, I was surprised. Even his female PA, a very fair-skinned igbo lady sef dey nack Ibadan dialect with one of their drivers. Moral of the story is that no be only Lagos dis people dey for Yorubaland, they are all over. I hope they get their Biafra coz it's like a lot of them are becoming very troublesome. They are such a troublesome lot. 1 Like |

scholes0: You're missing the point in the message. Don't you think Lagosians will like to rule themselves instead of having an Ondo man ruling their land. I am sure if a Lagosian should travel to contest an election in Ondo state, he will be reminded that he is not an indigene of Ondo state. So why forcefully take over their land and claim it is a Yoruba land hence it is free for any Yoruba to rule. I am speaking on behalf of the indigenous Lagosians whose voices have been drowned by the majority Yoruba migrant. Lagos is for Lagosians Osun is for Osunites Ondo is for Ondoites Yorubaland for everybody etc etc. |

And pls for the record, english has no definite meaning in english, so also america. Am sure you can both read and understand english language which is indegenous to the english people. France also has no definite meaning in french other that it being the name of their country. Google is at your fingertips if your'e doubtful VickJames: |

I would like to suggest that perhaps the OP and his alter-ego moniker be ignored from hereon since it's evident that they are just trolling. Besides, this topic has been debunked in the recent past. I can't help but wonder why it's only igbos that call other people's lands "no man's". It's like the race is cursed to stir trouble with their hosts wherever they're found. 5 Likes |

Re: Some History On Lagos And Yoruba Migration - Nigerpeople by Nobody: 11:27pm On Aug 16, 2015 |
eleshin: Nobody is arguing that Lagos is not Yorubaland. Lagos is Yorubaland but so is Osun, Ondo and the other Yoruba state but Lagos should be left to the indigenous people of Lagos to Govern. Can you contest an election in Osun state without being reminded that you're not an indigene of the state? You better stop this false pretense and speak up whenever the need arise before you become a slave in your own land. Tinubu a non Lagosian now dictates who becomes Governor in your state. Ambode, an Ondo man won an election over a true Lagosian in his own land and you think this is normal. Yoruba migrants should stop stealing slots meant for the indigenous people of Lagos state. |

Yorubas are not tribalist like ibo people who usually claim that an igboman from imo state is different from and inferior to an igboman in abia. If you're probably an igboman from anambra and you're resident in enugu, do you mean to tell me enugu igbos are going to discriminate against you and chase you outta town (well i remember this has happened in igboland for real sha). The point is Yorubas are not as intollerant and unaccomodating as your people who would rather deport an enugu man resident in abia. I wonder how biafra is going to stand amongst you people huangcheng: 2 Likes |

scholes0: Yes, they have tried many times to speak up but you migrants wont let their voice be heard. You have successfully drowned their minority voice with your much louder "LAGOS IS YORUBA LAND" mantra and have relegated them to the back seat. Leave Lagos to Lagosians and go back to wherever the hell you migrated from. I am tired of you migrants crying about Lagos more than the true Lagosians who are more accommodating and hospitable. |
Re: Some History On Lagos And Yoruba Migration - Nigerpeople by Flyoruboy(m): 11:31pm On Aug 16, 2015 |
huangcheng: Look here you dis flattyy. Yorubas are not like Igbos of the SE where Abia sacked Imo indigenes from its civil service even though they are all Igbos. Any Yorubaman can rule Lagos, and that includes the Aworis. Nothing stops Aworis from governing Lagos since they are Yorubas like the rest of us, they just need to get more involved in the politics of the state to realize that, that's all. It's obvious that you are trying really hard to apply the SE mentality to Yorubaland. I don't expect you to understand how we handle our business since you are not one of us. You are better off sticking to SE politics. 6 Likes |

OkutaNla: No Igbo man will call Lagos a no man's land. Lagos is Yoruba territory but Lagos is for the indigenous people of Lagos state and not for every Yoruba migrants to Govern. Go back to your evil forests where you migrated from so that true Lagosians can enjoy their ancestral land. Lagosians are tired of the dominance by Yoruba migrants under the pretense of "We are one". They don't dominate you in your ancestral lands. |

Lmao For your information, Nobody can cater for a Yoruba man's pleas and demands other than Another yoruba man... So I suggest YOU should crawl BACK to whatever evil forest in Ihiala you came from, and stop trying to speak for yoruba interests when you aren't even one. 7 Likes |

vicadex07: Hypocrisy! You change the goal post whenever it favors you. How many Lagosians have Governed your state? How many non-indigene have Governed any Yoruba state? So why is it normal for an Ondo man to Govern Lagosians. Nobody will take that nonsense and you know it but because it favors you, you're OK with the status quo. That's colonization by trick or false pretense. 1 Like |

totit: That's why I said in my last post that the OP is applying the usual Igbo/SE/Biafra mentality to Yoruba land. The Ijebus/Epes/Ikorodus have as much claim to Lagos as Aworis, as do the Egbas also. Who are the Epes? Are they not ijebus? All these people are Yorubas at the end of the day, which is the koko of the matter and all that matter. The OP is just trolling. 2 Likes |

scholes0: Stick to the topic or shut the Bleep up. We know the diversionary trick. The Indigenous people of Lagos state is asking you migrants to go back to Oshogbo the land of brown roof and let them enjoy the vast opportunities their land provide. I have never seen a true Lagosian talk about "hosting" anyone in their land, even Jimi Agbaje co-exist with the Igbos and we love him to our bone but you Yoruba migrants from Ogbomosho won't let us rest. Always disturbing the peace of this lovely place. Please you all should just head back to your evil forest once and for all so that we can live in peace with the hospitable Lagosians. |

huangcheng: Guy, can you just Shut the fvck up and mind your Igbo bizness? Why are you crying more than the bereaved? Your real headache is the fact that it has finally dawned on you that as an igboman you will always remain a stranger in Lagos /Yorubaland, same as I'll always be in igboland as a Yorubaman. When you all get your Biafra (by God's grace), you will surely fond your square root across the Niger along with your fellows. Don't worry, keep praying, it will happen soon. 2 Likes |
