You are just confused cos your lineage is hopelesly desperate knowing you are just a waste of space as far as Yorubaland is concerned. Yoruba have 6 states and Lagos is one of them and Yoruba couldn't all be from Lagos which is just one state out of 6. There's no such thing as lagosians among Yoruba just as you won't see English call themselves Londoners, it's you the immigrants who crave to attach yourselves to other people's land that use that to console yourselves and has always involved immigrants. I don't know where you got this "all Yoruba claim Lagos" from, Do all igbos claim Enugu? Every Yoruba always states where he/she comes from whether Lagos, Ogun or Ekiti, all Yorubaland. Now why are you concerned about who claims what in Yorubaland? Take it easy on your obsession with Yoruba, Lagos can't be moved. Chimok: 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Igbos propaganda knows no bound. Can you at least accept that you have no purpose on earth other than sniffing Yoruba's butt? Awori are Lagos indigenes so are Ijebus and we are Yoruba. We are Ijebus, we are Yoruba and will forever be. All Oba of Lagos have been descendants of Oranmiyan a Yoruba man who was the first oba of "Benin" All the chiefs, noble families and road names in Lagos are all Yoruba except in few cases of renaming in honor of others. How sick can you get for you igbos to dedicate your miserable existence to stalking Yoruba? SouthEastFacts: 2 Likes |

See another igboland escapee with the idea on how Yorubaland should be. Thanks, but no thanks, if you can build a sane society you would have made your region a magnet of some sort for activities and not squatting all over Nigeria for survival. If you aren't fresh-off-ekene-dilli-chukwu bus, you won't be this out of touch with reality and the lies upon lies you are known for. There were 3 separate Nigerias during English rule and we agreed to be one country during the negotiations for independence, during which Yoruba had already boasted firsts of many achievements and Lagos fully developed by its people, the Yoruba. The work Yoruba did building their pride which is Lagos is the reason igbos and fulani wanted Yoruba to be part of them even when Yoruba didn't want one Nigeria. Lagos was NEVER Nigeria's capital for 76 years but Yoruba's commercial capital from time immemorial, and had nothing to do with your Nigeria of the past and now, the only reason Nigeria has Lagos in it is because Yoruba joined Nigeria, we came to Nigeria with Lagos and will leave Nigeria with it when the time is right. So stop the wishy-washy story to make you feel alive, you can't take Lagos to igboland or any land for that matter. Nice try though. Enough of the street-crying, igbos, go home and build your own Lagos and let Yoruba enjoy their land in peace. Obi1kenobi: 2 Likes 1 Share |

wowcatty: That is the thing though - you didn't build jack. You're little different from the Gbagyis of Abuja - except far more populated the Gbagyis. Lagos became a thriving hub because the colonialists needed its ports in exploiting Nigeria's resources and the colonialist government and the post-independence FG invested massively in its infrastructure for 76 years when Lagos was Nigeria's capital (Abuja has been capital for just 27 years and look at it today). The post-civil war indigenization of the industries set up by the colonialists also favored the indigenes of the SW. You profited what you did from Lagos from sheer dumb luck - little different from Niger Deltas profiting from oil that they didn't put in the ground. You didn't "build" jackshit. Stop deceiving yourself with your silly chestbeating.
More delusion. Commercial capital my arse. The indigenes of Lagos couldn't even sail the seas that they were staring at before the colonialists came. They never advanced beyond dugout fishing boats. You can't find a relic of the existing pre-colonial commercial capital that you're dreaming about. None. Lagos was a coastal village of coastal villagers before the Europeans came here - plain and simple. The Aworis were hunters and fishermen. As at independence, the major industries in Lagos that would later be indigenized were founded by British. So what are all these things you built in Lagos? Lagos seaports? Lagos airports? Carter Bridge? Eko Bridge? Third Mainland Bridge? The companies on which the Marina skyline were founded? Biko, go through the list of what "you" built in Lagos. 4 Likes 1 Share |

These are wishful thinking and it doesn't matter how many times you throw the propaganda on the wall hoping something sticks, it won't. You with a lineage known for not building anything in your history can't possibly be saying what I did or did not build when I have Lagos under my belt. The Gbagys were chased out or their land to make way for Abuja with money made from Yorubaland, that's the story of Abija. Lagos on the other land was a Yoruba commercial town fully developed before Yorubaland was carved into Nigeria and comparing the two is only valid in igbologic where apples are oranges are the same. The Lagos of your dreams is not the one in Yorubaland, the Lagos in Yorubaland was fully developed and had a tiny portion leased out to the Federal govt of Nigeria after independence, it was never Nigeria's capital but Yoruba's. Federal govt didn't and still doesn't have money but spending Yoruba's money. If you rent a house and decide to change a door knob with part of the rent money, how is that tenant developing the the house when the money is still deducted from the rent? You are making up all this stories because you know that igboland have nothing to offer the world. Your land is not blessed with natural resources and you lack the integrity to make it work like all other countries who have no shoreline or natural resources. Neither are you tolerant or hospitable to make it a tourist destination. You know your future and those of your next generations are screwed so you want to take it out on Yoruba. Your life is in other people's hands and they can destroy you anytime if they want just as Ghana deported 700 of you, all it takes is will-power for Yoruba and it's over for you. The best part is always made capital and that's why Calabar was abandoned for Lagos, your people couldn't have been going to Somalia but "London" and you need to thank Yoruba for our accommodating spirit that gave you voice to talk all these BS today. Go home and develop your land and stop coveting other people's land, let the world see what igbos can build or do on their own. Act fast cos igbos are known all over the world and no country will accept your refugees when Nigeria is over. Obi1kenobi: 3 Likes 1 Share |

wowcatty: See all the wishful rants here. After debunking the historically illiterate rubbish he was spewing, he just repeated some of the same nonsense again. Again, "you" built jackshit in Lagos. You can ramble all the nonsense about how Lagos was like New York before it was "carved into Nigeria". The reality is it was little more than coastal fishing villages before the Europeans landed on its shores. The indigenes of Lagos and surrounding Yoruba land simply profited from the infrastructural base and capital that poured into Lagos from the British and the FG for 76 good years. Much of the road networks (including all 3 main bridges connecting the Island to the Mainland, which allowed the mainland flower), the ports, the airport, the power infrastructure, including Egbin, the transmission and distribution networks, Eti Osa, Lagos Island, Apapa, Festac etc were the product of the FG and British colonialists. Most of the industries founded in Lagos before independence were foreign investments from the British which were later indigenized. The ministries, departments and agencies housed in the city by the FG also attracted massive capital. The rest of the development simply came from settlers all over Nigeria who arrived to tap into the enabling environment that this capital investments into Lagos created (same way millions ran to Abuja after it was made capital). You can delude yourself with whatever comforting illusions you wish. You didn't "build" jackshit.
Sure, "Igbo land" is hardly flowing with milk and honey. This has nothing to do with the people of Igbo land, but the fortune that nature dealt us. Akwa Ibom, or Rivers may be rich in oil, but the indigenes didn't put any oil in the ground so it's nothing to brag about. It's dumb luck. Lagos indigenes (and I'm not talking about Ogbomosho villagers claiming Lagos) were simply favored with the dumb luck of being coastal dwelling fishermen, and coastal areas tend to attract more capital as trading and commercial hubs than land-locked hinterland areas. That's nothing to brag about. Repeat it however many times you want, I'll still be here to bust your delusions and tell you that you built jackshit in Lagos. Lagos was nothing more than coastal fishing villages till Europeans landed its shores. You built nothing in Lagos. You're just the most populated tribe in a cosmopolitan industrialized city with a complex history, and then trying to claim what you don't own from your Osun village. Ghana deported "700 of us"? Eziokwu? They specifically searched for Igbo people and deported 700 of us? Keep dreaming sha, but that is never happening in Lagos. You can always get off the internet and try your luck. You can start from my area in Festac where most of us are Igbo. We're waiting for you to come and drive us out. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Obi1kenobi: You're chatting shite as usual. Lagos seaport was built before the Amalgamation of Nigeria. Nigerians contribute nothing to Lagos development. After the Amalgamation, oil was nonprofitable until in the 80's. So shut your trash. You and your fellow Ibos were nothing but parasites who contribute nothing to Lagos and even Nigeria at large. You have no oil nor sea nor arable soil but just contribute nuisance everywhere. I'm sure you would join your fellow parasites to chat nonsense about eko Atlantic city after it had been completed. 1 Like 1 Share |

Obi1kenobi: Another stupid rants. Even if we were to go by your nonsense, only ikoyi and Victoria Island were under the FG, not the whole lagos. Ikeja was a City built by Awolowo himself as well many other cities built solely by Yoruba leaders. The ports were constructed before the Amalgamation of Nigeria. The development made in the same seaport was done as early 1913-1921 when crude oil wasn't even yet discovered. What did the FG do in Lagos? Airport? Barracks? And office buildings? What else was done apart from the above? You're mad and you don't know it. Tell me what exactly did your Ibo folks contribute in Lagos? Yeye dey smell. Bunch of nuisances. 1 Like |
