Goke7:


forget that thing, have people not been deported from Lagos? did heaven fall? in the past two days, okada riders have been dealt with in Lagos, who de monitor who? monitor what people are doing for the best of their own land? who is monitoring them in akwa-ibom, who is monitoring them in rivers, this is a federation and every state will continue to function in the best interest of their indigenes.

zenmaster:

Lagos remains 51% Igbo, despite all the mumu sufferstication

Billyonaire:


You are wrong. 100% wrong.

The Yoruba and the Bini (Benin) languages are offshoots of each other, because you guys are ancestral cousins who love to fight each other.
Eko is a Bini language and if you want to add ile to it, then you should know that Ile means House or Home...right ? So, you can not allow such opinion to control your mind. You need to stop reading half-baked history of people like Femi Okunnu who tell stories he read as opposed to the story being told by the indigenous Yoruba people.

I go into the trenches and I dine with the real original indigenous people and someday, I will tell the story of Mr. Lekki and Mr. Badagry, these are Portuguese people, and if Mr. Badagry owned the expanse bordering Seme Border end of Lagos and Mr. Lekki owned the other extreme which borders Ondo State after the Fulo communities, which Lagos are you talking about ?

Please do not confuse nairalanders with your factless right up. I am a friend of the Yorubas and I dine with them more than you guys who abandon your indigenous people. I defend Indigenous people in all my discussions.

Please be guided.

vaxx:
i posted two argument there, instead of you to refute my claim. you are bringing in your strawmen argument as usual ...



This is is the argument again.....

Lagos was pre occupied by the awories in 15 century , they were predominantly fishermen and hunter..

There is different between lagos state and lagos Portuguese.....


If you must know, the word lagos (eko)was crested by the awories not the binin..... This is the pronunciation in yoruba vocab....(Yoruba: Èkó) Bini are not just offshoot of yoruba, they are yoruba by themselves that is another story for another day.....


Before the prince ado( war lord ) was invited to wage war against the Dahomey empire who are about to take the place from them....the word eko ile has been used.......


The same thing happen when eko wanted to be taken by the fullani, the Oyo warriors were invited to stop them in Oshogbo.....



If you are ignorance of a knowledge..... Ask you shall be given..... You are getting more nairaland confused with this your mr lekki and Mr badagry coinage...

Goke7:


I know you are trying to be provocative but take a cue from your brother Point B, made his point but more descent than you

zenmaster:

What is provocative about stating the facts

nengibo:

You are deceiving yourself, the names show that the indigenous people are not Yoruba, since Yorubas can't interprete their names, useless landgrabbing oshogbo migrants

Goke7:


oh you call lies fact eh? and what's so special about Lagos that you want to hang yourself for when some folks are even renouncing their Nigerian citizenship, like I told one of your colleagues you did not get biafra, you will also not get Lagos, trust me on this.

zenmaster:

heheheheheheheh
Says the man who is NOT even from Lagos

zenmaster:

heheheheheheheh
Says the man who is NOT even from Lagos

Goke7:


am also not from biafra and you did not get biafra, see what I mean?

sarrki:


N you are from lagos

zenmaster:

Of course.

zenmaster:

Oba of Lagos has said Lagos is not Yoruba land.
Why are you now vexing for Igbo people.

Igbo amaka

sarrki:


Where in Lagos sir ?

Goke7:


so where is the oba himself from? Onitsha abi

TheKingIsHere:


No one is disputing the part of the aworis.. But say the truth as it is, the people of Benin were predominantly in Lagos. Even this professor stated it clearly that:



So, the aworis were there no doubt but majority of the populace were Benin.

The oba of Lagos should give more lecture on this.

zenmaster:

You can ask the Oba when u meet him na

zenmaster:

Lagos is our state

Goke7:

see confusion

zenmaster:

why are you confused

Goke7:

you were asked where in Lagos are you from and you can't answer, so who's confused?

TheKingIsHere:
You are only coming up with mere assumptions not a tangible evidence. Oba of Lagos says that Lagos belong to the Benin Kingdom. Even this professor that you supported said that the Benin populace were predominant in Lagos. They never mentioned Lagos island. They referred to the entire state.

That's why the whole Lagos(not just Lagos island) is called Eko which is a Benin word.

zenmaster:

Please mind your business in Ogbomosho.
And leave we-the-Lagosians to live our life in peace

Goke7:

by the way am not from ogbomoso and I do not claim Lagos even though its my place of birth but why claim what it's not yours!

that is corruption nah

zenmaster:

There is nothing corrupt there.
Oba has said it, and you must respect and obey the Oba

Goke7:

see confusion

Goke7:

by the way am not from ogbomoso and I do not claim Lagos even though its my place of birth but why claim what it's not yours!

that is corruption nah

PointB:


I'm tired of telling them bro.
[size=18pt] Lagos is No Mans-Land. [/size]


It's an eternal gift of God to Nigeria, just like the oil from Niger Delta.

Some greedy people are sipping other people's oil, yet they want to claim Lagos for themselves. It's not gonna happen.
Lagos belongs to nobody, and to everybody!

Anyone bigot who thinks Lagos belongs to him, should eject the rest of us from Lagos. That's the only to assert ownership. Is that not so?

diadem10:


Enugu, Abia and Anambra lands are more likely to carved to separate the Igala lands than Lagos which is homogenised Yoruba land.

As a matter of fact, enugu land is an Igala land!
