When did you "take it back" ?
In all precolonial maps, Lagos is marked as a vassal to Benin.

Gabriel004:
We did not took Lagos, we own Lagos. Lagos is our land from beginning. The Benin traders always meet awori Yoruba's in Lagos.

Ur analysis has shown that you are mentally sick. It has shown that ur upbringing is bad. U people will just come on this forum and start saying nonsence.

xjiggy:
my brother. Those we helped reform into civilized societies don't have respect for their ancestors any longer. At least the oba of Lagos still know where to pay Homage.

Gabriel004:
Oga, stop lying. Benin jump over ondo now ogun to own Lagos abi, oya tell me the boundary between them.

Moneywomen17:

That guy can come back that British lie cuz the Benin fought against them so they hate them but tell him didn’t the ijebu fought against British why didn’t the British says I don’t know ibo own their land

Moneywomen17:

the document doesn't say Lagos belongs to the Yoruba, it is a document which is focussed on the Yoruba speaking people ! It seems you guys need brain transplant. I can also write adocument about Indians living in England, it doesn't mean England is part of India !

Moneywomen17:
if it’s those map u keep posting I have seen it time and again and tackle u. Ogun State or Lagos was not under Benin in none of it. I have even challenged u to post the map and highlight where Lagos was under Benin but u keep deflecting and saying u don’t have time or I should figure it out when i have abc it doesn’t show anything of sort.

Dude, I think you should rethink your "study your history more than mathematics". It is this kind of mentality which keeps the black race backward.
Study mathematics more than anything else, more than religion or history or whatever, maths is the key to the future and to better understanding the past. Maths is greater than anything else in this world. What you should have said is that blacks should stop trying to act white by copying whiteman culture and religion.

Moneywomen17:
ode fool read it says Yoruba territory is about 25000 to 30000 square mile of which 1069 of it is Lagos. This Is the colonial governor of Lagos not just anybody my friend.

type Gallica on nairaland, Your colonial governor says:this territorial wedge is decided between ewe speaking people from dahomey and Yoruba speaking people. He doesn't even say the territorial wedge belongs to Yoruba ! And again, you will have to tell me what he refers to as territorial wedge. He doesn't talk about the monarchy in place neither. What appears clear to me is your delusion and desperation.

Oh I didn't realise it was this ignoramus talking to me. So what is it ? Do I owe you money ? You seem to be following me around like my dog or something, I have already tried to educate you, it is impossible, so leave me alone and go enjoy your madness elsewhere.

Gabriel004:
You have confirmed how daft you are. Now, show the map he asked of you.

how can u educate anyone when u lack education urself. U post this kind of map and lie that it shows Lagos and Ogun was under Benin when it shows nothing of sort. When ask to highlight where it say that u turn to insult and more lies. I don’t think u even know how to read map.

Moneywomen17:
I think u are an illiterate or just acting dumb. The document said and I quote “the population of the Yoruba has been estimated as 3,000,000; it’s area may be viewed as from 25000 to 30000 square mile or the size of Holland and Belgium together of which 1069 sqare mile compose the colony and protectorate of Lagos.” What’s not clear about this statement to u.

Gabriel004:
Do not digress. Do as he said.

Moneywomen17:
the guy will say nothing cuz he is a liar and I think he cannot read. Here is what the governor clearly say “the population of the Yoruba has been estimated as 3,000,000; it’s area may be viewed as from 25000 to 30000 square mile or the size of Holland and Belgium together of which 1069 sqare mile compose the colony and protectorate of Lagos.” Here is what the fraud is saying The colonial governor doesn't even recognize the "Yoruba speaking people" as an actual ethnic group, but just as a set of various people who just so happen to speak a certain language. And as he says he wants to focus his article on them. Now let me write an article on Vulcan speaking people in new York, I guess that means New York belongs to the Vulkans. Is there any correlation my brother
