what's the Yoruba name for lagos? please don't say eko. Eko is a Benin name.

Hope u know lagos is when u get to cms idumota area. As in eko. Dts where lagos is. When nxt ur driving, check d signboard on d bridges, ull see an arrow showing ur driving into lagos. The whole mainland of lagos state is not eko. Hope u know those days, there were no bridges and u got to d island by canoe. Ikorodu is an egba town. Epe is a town, isolo is a town, idimu is a town. Every area u find an oba in lagos was a village wt a king. Igbobi was a kolanut farm, alausa was a walnut farm. Dt whole area is egba territory. On d other side is ijebu territory.

The island itself was where d binis created a war camp. And its only d area served by d oba of lagos around idu gangan (or whatever his palace is called. And dt throne reverted bk to d indigenes when d white men advised them to stop paying tributes to d oba of bini). The population of lagos (d island) was just about 27,000 pple when d portuguese came. And there were other little villages there as well like d iru and elegushi. The british went on a land grabbing spree and then made d oba of lagos d head of all d obas on d island.

And d oyo empire were fighting wars wt d egbas, ijaiyes, ekitis because of d slave trade. Merchants like efunroye tinubu took advantage & stole captives to d island to sell as slaves. Dt whole market in cms area developed out of d brutal slavetrade in d west. Even d whites named a square after her (wicked woman).

In the old western region, d whole mainland of lagos was part of western region and ruled from ibadan. The federal govt was d island only. FACT.

If lagos is not yorubaland, name an area dt doesnt have a yoruba name? Lagos developed due to d slave trade & seaways. The british moved d capital there and started developing it as a capital (it wasnt wt oil money btw). 90% of lagos was yorubas only. After d british left d govt kept developing it. More pple moved in from all over nigeria because of d secretariats & govt jobs. All nigerians live in lagos & contribute to its wealth. But we have lagos indigenes, we have lagos culture and lagos traditions. It is not a no mans land created from nothing. Dts an insult to pples forefathers.

E be like say you angry because Edo is excluded from Biafra? Well, exclude Oshiomwhole's Etsako/Auchi Islamic axis of Edo state, rest of Edo state can be considered for Biafra.

You ought to understand that adoption of use of Sharia criminal justice system by most of northern Nigeria and the loud silence of acquiescence by other Nigerian Muslims, with the violent extremism that followed that are what renewed the clamouring for secession by Biafrans.

ode, lagos state gets the wharf landing fee. Please you don't know anything, a bill was passed by lagos state to even tax every truck coming out of the wharf.

Do you know how much it is? Go do your research, illiterate.

My brother, please do not tae this much effort to try and educate a Igbo from the South East, please.
Maybe you are not familiar with their true nature, but they are not worth your time and effort.

But tribalism and hatred are the foundation stones of Nigeria.

Tribalism and hatred are the reasons why Nigeria was politically restructured by northern soldiers to having once one northern Nigeria region now get a whooping number of twenty federating units - 19 states and Abuja - at the expense of two southern Nigeria regions given a meagre 17 states. Through foul use of land mass as criterion for creating new federating units, the north of Nigeria now lords it politically over the south. Wake up and smell the coffee.

Tribalism is when some people gather to kill the leaders of other regions, leaving theirs, in their bid to hijack power and lord it over others.

enairaprof:
Fellow Nigerians, many at times we tend to blame or hail our Governors and Leaders based on what they have or have not done. You will agree with me that a man cannot do more than the resources he has at his disposal. Knowing the amount of money accruing to our states will enable us to make genuine demand from our state and local governments. I therefore bring to you the Federal revenue allocation distributed to state government by Federal Account Allocation Committee for the month of September, 2014 and shared in October 2014. These allocations are not fixed but give insight into the monthly allocation of each state.
HIGHEST PAID STATES
1. Akwa Ibom 19,467,767,266.19
2. Delta 14,884,561,011.30
3. Rivers 13,811,059,254.97
4. Bayelsa 10,522,293,702.84
5. Lagos 8,023,794,161.05
LOWEST PAID STATES
1. Kwara 3,443,615,149.18
2. Ekiti 3,022,560,084.74
3. Ebonyi 2,952,706,061.22
4. Gombe 2,948,522,092.40
5. Osun 2,575,099,200.40
I believe it is high time we appraised our leaders based on resources under their control and not just compare one state with another when their allocation differs with a big margin.

biafranking:
bros you no dey shame to mention ten hausa . That s too small. Am sure they only view comments.

But How many igbos do you know here on nairaland? I guess 500? Or close to a thousand Or more ?
That s why the yorubas has the audacity to insults us.
It s well though.

chinchum:
Na mugu you be, we are talking almost 300 billion annually , you are talking of wharflanding of less than 500 million annually. less than 0.002%. Is that the stake you talk about?

mandax:


Mugu, it was a Nigeria Army coup d'etat executed by amateurs from all tribes in Nigeria.
But by then, Igbos were more in number of officers in Nigerian Armed forces, and as to be expected, were more in number among the coupists.

But take note that the slaughtering of people of former southeast region in the north of Nigeria predated the 1966 military coup.

And note also that since the 1966 coup, other military coup d'etats with predominantly Tivs have been carried out with killings of none Tivs. Did Nigeria carry out pogrom against the Tivs, as north of Nigeria carried out pogrom against the Igbo over the 1966 coup?
