To make it as an Ibo, you need to leave Iboeland. In 50 years time, Iboeland would most certainly become desolate. 5 Likes |

Interesting. So could it mean that majority of Yoruba 'Lagosians' today are actually descendants of yoruba immigrants from other colonies who have settled in Lagos state to call Lagos their home town? Thus in effect, some self-described Yoruba 'Lagosians' aren't actually native to the state but in actuality immigrants to Lagos state? 2 Likes |

I wonder why we live like cat and rat on line whereas we run show together in real life..... Sincerely there is no less important tribe in Nigeria and Lagos is what it's today as a result of non Yoruba contributions. That's the bitter truth |

IGBOSON2: The sovereignty of Biafra is not impossible but it will be difficult if you are promoting hatred and bitterness among other tribes. I'm a Yoruba man and I believe so much in JUSTICE; you will still need other tribes in one way or the other if u have Biafra today . |

Shittaakeem: Don't mind the OP and his closet land-grabbing cohorts. They don't know that Lagos consists 3 Islands and a part of the Mainland. Eko, Victoria, Apapa are Islands. The mainland starts from IDDO, carter Bridge end, Ebute Meta, yaba. The boundary was Jibowu, Idi-Oro. To that extent, Fadeyi, Shomolu, Maryland, Anthony Ikeja, Mushin, Agege weren't parts of Lagos before it became a 'state'. These places were in the old Western Region with capital at Ibadan. Those places though now in Lagos State should not be confused with the Lagos which ended at Jibowu, Yaba. But then again, I wasn't expecting any different from them since they are mere traders who came to Lagos to sell market without knowing her history and now are cooking up fables.

Ibos, be afraid, be very very afraid. The future leaders of the south west have already taken notice of your hate for the indigenous people of the land and your desire for Lagos. People like us won't have much convincing to do if we want to make policies to chase IBO's out of the SW as a whole. I warned ya'all didn't I? ojukwu's children never learnt anything from the civil war. The battle is won and lost already. 1 Like 1 Share |

Eke40seven: LAGOS Originally governed as a British crown colony, Lagos was part of the United Kingdom’s West African Settlements from 1866 to 1874, when it became part of the Gold Coast Colony (modern Ghana). In 1886 it again achieved separate status under a British governor, and in 1906 it was amalgamated with the Protectorate of Southern Nigeria. When Southern and Northern Nigeria were amalgamated in 1914, Lagos was made the capital of the Colony and Protectorate of Nigeria. In 1954 most of the hinterland was incorporated into the region of Western Nigeria, while the city itself was designated as federal territory. In 1960 Lagos became the capital of independent Nigeria. Control of its hinterland was returned to the city in 1967 with the creation of Lagos state. After 1975 a new national capital, centrally situated near Abuja, was developed to replace Lagos, which by then suffered from slums, environmental pollution, and traffic congestion. By the late 15th century Lagos Island had been settled by Yoruba fishermen and hunters, who called it Oko. The area was dominated by the kingdom of Benin, which called it Eko, from the late 16th century to the mid-19th century. The Portuguese first landed on Lagos Island in 1472; trade developed slowly, however, until the Portuguese were granted a slaving monopoly a century later. The local obas (kings) enjoyed good relations with the Portuguese, who called the island Onim (and, later, Lagos) and who established a flourishing slave trade. British attempts to suppress the slave trade culminated in 1851 in a naval attack on Lagos and the deposition of the oba. The slave trade continued to grow, however, until Lagos came under British control in 1861. http://www.britannica.com/place/Lagos-Nigeria 1 Like 1 Share |

OduaVanguard: bigfrancis21: kettykin: meforyou1: Hmm, from your lack of numeracy skills I can safely assume you're a product of poor quality free education. God knows where you pulled the 257 000 from, but i'll just throw your words right back at you: Of course there's a difference, and of course you Yoruba are at home in every state in your region, but just like you don't see a difference between moving from one corner of Yorubaland to another, Igbo people dont see a difference between moving from one corner to another within the new Igbo land - Nigeria. It's no longer new actually, it's been their land for about a 100 years and will continue to be so until Igbo people are no longer Nigerians or Nigeria ceases to exist. joeyfire: |

in few years from now, Igbos will produce the Governor of Lagos State. The Yorubas has lost our respect for them. things were not always like this until they started looking down on us. Thanks to Oba Akiolu for uniting the igbos in Lagos. Now we have a common goal |
