Still surrounded by Yoruba lands

nyamiris wan do that but it is impossible that is the reason why nyamiris are pained

The location of Lagos itself tells you who the place belongs to, I wonder why they decide to call it no man's land

Redcrafton:


Please always try and remove Lagos from whatever you are posting, as it will be unwise for the Gwari kingdom to include Abuja when posting their cities.

[/s]Lagos is no capital anymore and Lagos is no colony anymore.

Dedetwo:


Lagos city or Lagos State does not belong to Oduduwa. OP, please do not commit this blunder in future because Lagos in a commonwealth territory. Arrewa was smart enough to avoid listing Abuja in his\her funny post too.

[/s]Common wetin?? Lagos is no capital and ever since the Capital was moved to Abuja, the money Lagos state is generating goes to Abuja and is shared amongst other states so what commonwealth territory are you shouting?? I remembered when Senator Oluremi Tinubu raised a motion in the house that Lagos should be given special status so that more funds generated in Lagos should be used reinvested back into Lagos state economy because of many non Yorubas mass migrating into Lagos state, we all know those that opposed the motion. Also where were you when Federal government under OBJ starved Lagos state her allocation for 4 years?? Your commonwealth is in Abuja.

BastardWike:


Kano and Kaduna are still decent enough, that's why Arewa did not see the need to add Abuja which is a common wealth just as Lagos. However, these my ofenmanu brothers know that Lagos is the only decent city in the SW area, that's why all you hear from them is Lagos, Lagos Lagos.

BastardWike:


You're just decieving yourself. Lagos is what it is today because other Nigerians intervened. Otherwise, it would have been like the other slum settlements surrounding it. Yorubas have proven to be incapable of building modern cities.

[/s]Abuja should overtake Lagos na, since the Capital is there and people have intervened. Mr Intervention

Ok since my brother have posted about abeokuta then let's continue with akure

Akure is a city in south-western Nigeria,[2] and is the largest city and capital of Ondo State.[3] The city had a population of 484,798 as at the 2006 population census.Within the modern Akure kingdom are two other constituent communities with their separate chiefs and traditions. The more prominent of the pair is Isinkan, while the second of them is Isolo. The Baale of Isinkan is known as the Iralepo while the Baale of Isolo is known as the Osolo of Isolo. In the olden days these were separate towns, but they were brought together under the nominal control of Akure as a result of a number of wars. Nearby towns include Isarun, Ilara, Igbaraoke, Iju, Itaogbolu, Idanre, Owo, Ikere and Ondo. The most influential Deji in recent history was Oba Adesida I who was known as Afunbiowo. Several Dejis after him were his direct descendants.

It is also the birthplace of notable Nigerians like Chief Olu Falae (a one time presidential candidate of a political party who reigns as a titled aristocrat of the realm), legal luminary Dr Akinola Aguda and several personalities in the academia, industry, the military, judiciary and the civil service. Philip Emeagwali, the Gordon Bell Prize winner,[9] and the mother of King Sunny Adé are both citizens of Akure. Akure is also the hometown of Ralph Alabi, a former chairman of Guinness Nigeria, and Kole Omotosho.

ECONOMY

Akure is the trade center for a farming region where cocoa, yams, cassava, corn and tobacco are grown. Cotton is also grown and used to weave cloth.

Akure is beautiful

Redcrafton:


Please always try and remove Lagos from whatever you are posting, as it will be unwise for the Gwari kingdom to include Abuja when posting their cities.

This is an apt example of pain and gnashing of teeths described in the book of revelations, is Lagos not an oduduwa city? if oduduwa republic is declared, won't Lagos be included? a Fulani man was once a mayor of Enugu, does that stop Enugu from being part of Biafra? no matter the influx of foreigners in lagos, Lagos is a Yoruba city and remember a masquerade festival is a temporary venture, sooner or later everybody will get to his /her home.

Yoruba1stson:
this bastard and useless nyamiri has the gut to speak that ibadan is a slum, tell me any state in your cursed region that can stand great ibadan in development
fvck nyamiris

Look at this slumdog, who doesn't know that Ibadan is the world's largest ghetto settlement? Even Kenyans kept mocking Ibadan during the Nigeria vs. Kenya thread, one of them argued and I quote "how can a settlement the size of Nairobi be like this, a total slum...."

The truth is that most SW so-called cities/towns have become a big embarrassment to Nigerians.

If I should have my way, 99% of Ibadan and the other rustic towns would be bombed to ashes to give way for a modern and sane development

favor914:
Lagos is not Yoruba land, Lord Frederick Lugard, almagamated Northern Nigeria, with Southern Nigeria, & the Colony of Lagos in 1914, go read your history properly.

Lagos is Igbo land? I do not know why these irritants, land grabbers lacks shame, you are fighting for a land that is thousands of kilometres from your ancestral place, it seems shamelessness abounds in your DNA, I won't blame you, your obsession with Lagos can be easily forgiven because you are from a region that is the poverty capital of southern Nigeria, a third class citizen in a third world country.
