Goke7: I don't know the size of Oba's palace; but if valuable mineral is discovered on the piece of estate, it's only a matter of time before he sells. So what is suffering about someone making such a smart decision to sell? If land owners didn't sell the lands in Lagos, will we be here having conversation about the value of Lagos? Will you have the population to make Lagos the buzzing city it is now? Or you somehow think Lagos attain this status by refusing to welcome people - sell lands? |

Goke7: Lagos is a Cosmopolitian city. It has a long fabled history of Yoruba ownership and domination. But that's now history. The city has evolved, as does every commercial hubs and mega cities. The Lagos you knew is dead (RIP). This is the effect of civilization; this is new Lagos. I know it's tough to fathom this, but you must embrace the new reality of Lagos. We all own Lagos now; this is the present, and future. You can't fight civilisation and win. You need to accept this to be at peace. If you want Ogun to become a commercial hub like Lagos, be ready to for Ogun to evolve like Lagos. Is Ogun ready for civilisation? The people who will invest money in Ogun will come with their conditions, and of course baggages. Does Ogun know that she can't eat her cake and have it. 4 Likes |

PointB:my brother it's like you are taking this the wrong way, this discussion may have the look and feel of an argument but I assure you it isn't. it's two separate sides. those who believe it's a no man's land and those who belive lagos to be yoruba land. we have made known where we stand on the matter. I am also willing to let you have the last word if you think this to be an argument. |

jollymizzle: What is there to argue about? You've made your stand, and you've heard mine. I don't see anything to argue or whine about. I'll only suggest that you go grab a piece of Lagos for yourself and lay claim. If you keep shouting Lagos belongs to Yoruba, while you don't personally have a piece of Lagos in your name, and you can't do sh$%5t about the next guy who is selling a piece to non-Yoruba to make ends meet, goodluck! 1 Like |

Gotze1: Yorubas in Lagos should go and conduct business with rest of the world in Yoruba, that is their business. Such retrogressive move for those who consider themselves progressive. A million sigidis erected in Lagos will not take Lagos back to the dark ages. Lagos is open for business; and we are here for business, you can continue with your sigidi business like Rochas is currently doing in Imo. Looks like APC is now synonymous with erections of statues. It must be paucity of developmental idea that triggers this missteps to the past. Or is it because of the ancestor we have a president? By the way, I offer Yoruba classes for those who intend to descend to the abyss for tactical or strategic reason. |

PointB: so the folks who voted for trump all in the name of wanting their country back are against civilization abi. Truth is the yorubas still edge it when it comes to politics which is what dictates commerce and businesses all over the world. The yorubas will play the right politics to address this issue and it's only to whine and whine online you guys will do. Lagos state is now part of the Odua group and that speaks volume, they won't make noise like you guys do online but in few years time when things begin to unfold, you will be back to shout and wail. 2 Likes |

Goke7: How much of their 'country' can they get back? Their country has moved on and they have been left behind. No one is saying Yorubas should not play politics in Lagos; politics all Yoruba know how to do, so by all mean go ahead. But realize there is limit to any politics Yoruba can play. Like those who voted Trump to take back their country are failing, same fate await anyone who plays politics with the intention of returning Lagos back to stone age - failure of abysmal proportion. Such individual(s) or group are best served chasing shadows, they have better chance catching shadows than returning Lagos to a predominant Yoruba enclave. Now you folks keep asking Igbos to forget Biafra and move on. Please take a page from your book. Lagos was a Yoruba City; Lagos is now a Nigerian city. It belongs to all, and it belongs to no one. Lagos is now No-man's Land. Forget Lagos and move on. Resistance is not only futile, but retrogressive. 1 Like |

nengibo:Mumu Ikorodu is an Ijebu land everybody knows that, but am not an indigene so I don't know how the name came to be only people indigenous to Ikorodu can answer that question. If you ask me the meaning of Oyo or Ondo or Ekiti I don't know the meaning even if am Yoruba. Not every name as a direct meaning. |
Re: Lagos Is Part Of Yorubaland - Femi Okunnu by PointB: 1:47pm On Nov 10, 2017 |
Goke7: No please. Both Yoruba and non-Yoruba buy land from in Lagos. But everyone has a price. If you are ready to pay over the top for a piece of real estate and are ready to pay quickly, it usually sway the seller. Secondly, it make little or no sense to limit your potential market (as land seller) to a specific group of people. You may end up selling cheap or dying of hunger. So if land owners say they won't sell to non-yorubas, we'll see how that goes when the wad is padded! |
