wirinet:So now you're telling me that the families of returnee slaves are more "original Lagosians" than mine that actually have been ruling Lagos before their slave ancestors were even abducted? In your hatred for Tinubu and the APC, you seem to have gone off the rails, first endorsing the "Amoda Ogunlere" nonsense, and now this ... 5 Likes |

Oh well, so Lagos is a Lagosianβs heritage and not a Yoruba heritage, toh! I know Delta-Ibo boys in Warri with as much rights and privileges as indigent Uwvie. But they know not to pretend that the land now belongs to them and start chasing other immigrants away with ethnic slurs. |

wirinet: I was born at Lagos Island too, just like you, I grew up there and did my elementary schools there. I still live among indigenous Lagosians and they're the best. A lot of people think that they're just finding their voice but the truth is that they've been screaming from the rooftops about this injustice for a very long time but only the Igbos have bothered to listen to their case. The problem, however, is that they've fought for so long and have grown weary from fighting a lost battle. Those who are bold enough to speak up are usually "settled" with Govt appointment or contract, leaving us the allies exposed to the consequences of such alliance. Obanikoro campaign in 2011 comes to mind. We've really suffered for these people. I hope GRV does not go the way of Obanikoro and Jimi Agbaje who were settled with Govt contracts. |

omohayek:There is definitely something not adding up with your worship of Tinubu. For you to claim that you are from the ruling family of Lagos but at the same time a worshiper of Tinubu - a non native is something of a paradox. Ironically I am closer to Tinubu himself than you. My mum knew the Mogagi and Tinubu families as she grew up in Isale Eko. We all knew Bola Tinubu was adopted. Tinubus wife's family house is very close to my paternal family house in Warri. Now the returnee slaves have as much rights in Lagos to you and morally more rights than Tinubu. They definitely have more rights than an Ambode, Fashola or Gbajabiamila. To me Tinubu is like an imposter, just like Ptolemy in Egypt, Joseph in the Bible or Alimi in ilorin. He through shear luck, political machinations and collaborators captured power and impose himself on the people. To claim Tinubu is responsible for the development of Lagos is like saying Joseph was responsible for the development of ancient Egypt. Lagos was already the most developed city in Nigeria before Tinubu became governor in 1999, before then lagos has had some decent governors like Marwa, Jakande, Mobolaji Johnson, etc. |

Olabukola11:NOTE: This article posted by the OP is clearly a fake article, written by a non-Yoruba to incite Yorubas against one another. The name used by the writer is not indigenous to any Lagos family. I agree though that the technocrat indigenes of Lagos State from the 5 divisions of Lagos State (the IBILE divisions) must from the next election cycle in all political parties be represented as Governorship and Deputy Governership candidates. NO real indigene of Lagos State would demean or insult the Ijebu people by saying: "decrepit, dingy, sleepy Ijebu villages" because Ijebuland extends from Ogun State right into Lagos State and Ijebus are real indigenes of Lagos State because parts of Ijebuland and Aworiland were carved out of the Old Western Region on May 27, 1967 to create Lagos State for the indigenes by the iconic General Yakubu Gowon government. 12 new states were created in all parts of Nigeria on that day by Gowon. The so-called writer told Ijebus and others in that post by the OP to go back to where they came from. This is very laughable and similar to what Gbadebo of the LP (who is a descendant of formerly enslaved Yorubas majorly from either Oyo, Ogun, or Osun who returned from Sierra Leone in the 1800s) told Vanguard newspaper recently, and on his ignorant anti-Yoruba Twitter posts. The Ijebu people are the indigenes and land owners of Ajah, Ikorodu LGA, Epe LGA, Ibeju-Lekki LGA, in Lagos State. The Aworis who originally migrated from Ile Ife many centuries ago to the Ota axis of Ogun State and Lagos State are the indigenes in the 17 other LGAs, and the Aworis are indigenes of Badagry LGA with the Ogus. Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu is a Yoruba man of Ijebu paternal lineage and an investment banker and former treasurer of the banks where he worked before he even got to the age of 40. So, he is qualified to be the Governor of Lagos State as an Ijebu man. 1 Like 2 Shares |

wirinet:What nonsense! Where have I ever "worshipped" Tinubu? I neither know the man nor have any business nor familial connections to him, and I have certainly never claimed he was any sort of saint or savior. To be irritated at what has been a clearly tribally-motivated campaign of character assassination directed at the man for several years now is not the same thing as "worshipping" him, unless you've been so blinded by your own monomaniacal hatred of him that you can no longer see the distinction. "Now the Igbo migrants to the SS have as much rights in Itsekiriland as you and morally more rights than any of your political leaders. They definitely have more rights than any Itsekiri leader who has ever been elected to high office." How do you like it when your own rhetoric is directed back at you? Do you still think this makes sense and is worthy of serious consideration, or does your blindness to how you come across only work in one direction? I know it's both fun and convenient to knock down straw men, but the feeling you get from doing is entirely hollow. I have never argued that Tinubu "is responsible for the development of Lagos", and I would never do so, seeing as I know that Lagos was already developing and flourishing before the Saros you champion even started coming there in the 19th century (no Vivour even lived in Lagos before 1870). Go through my entire comment history and show me where I've made any of the straw-men claims you're knocking down here - I'll be waiting... I repeat, you seem to have gone round the bend in your hatred of Tinubu, willing to embrace any crazy theory and insulting claim, no matter the peripheral damage done - it's not the hatred of Tinubu that disturbs me, but the outlandish claims you're willing to back because of it. My forefathers were here in Lagos before any white man or slave "returnee" ever came to the island of Eko, as were the Ijebus and Egbas whose lands are part of the artificial and arbitrary "Lagos state" which was carved out without any consultation by a military dictator. When Oba Akitoye had to flee Lagos due to Kosoko's ambitions, he fled to Abeokuta, and he was backed by an Egba woman named Tinubu, the very woman who made the name famous. Awolowo, the most famous Yoruba leader of all time, was of both Ijebu and Egba descent. Yorubas have never had the artificial borders and distinctions between us that you and the IPOB trolls you emulate seek to impose upon us, and the only effect such "real Lagosian" and "original Lagosian" rhetoric has on us is to harden us in the conviction that all of this is about much more than Tinubu as a politician (whose time in the limelight will inevitably pass), but about a do-or-die ethnic struggle for control, and as we are seeing right now with the governorship elections, that means you are condemning yourself to be perpetually on the losing side, as we won't allow ourselves to be turned into powerless outsiders in our own land, even if that means putting up with machine-politicians like Tinubu for the meantime. I've told you this before, but if you were at all serious about defeating Tinubu politically, the intelligent thing to do would be to show us - and by "us" I mean Yorubas in general, not Igbos who already hate him with scary intensity - that there are better alternatives which won't end up with outsiders giving us marching orders in our own homeland. The worst way to go about it is the one you've chosen: adopting alienating and brazenly dishonest rhetoric insinuating that only some outsider immigrant group like the Saro are "real" and "original" Lagosians, while we Aworis, Ijebus and Egbas are somehow disqualified as being "unreal" since our lands supposedly "belong to the Binis" (by which reasoning, all Itsekiri land still belongs to the British, as they conquered it just as the Binis once conquered Lagos). 4 Likes 4 Shares |

llakes4real:@llakes4real, If you observe that census web link and historical facts closely, you would realise that: The Yoruba Saros, Yoruba Brazilian and Yoruba Cuban returnees were already settling down in Lagos Island as of the 1850s and they identified with the Yoruba subgroups they originally came from such as Egba, Oyo, Ijesa, Ekiti, Ijebu, Egbado, etc, in the 1872 and 1891 Lagos Island population census. Ajayi Crowther was from Osogun in Iseyin, Oyo. He was a Saro (Yoruba Sierra Leonian) returnee. Candido da Rocha born in Brazil and he and his parents returned to Lagos Island in the 1850s was Ijesa. Sir Adeyemo Alakija (formerly known by the Brazilian name Placido Asumpcao) was Egba. Hope this helps. 1 Like 1 Share |

raskymonojendor: Can an Akure person be allowed to govern Ekiti because they have same dialect? Will an Ijesha man be allowed to displace indigenous Ado just cause they were all part of the Ekiti parapo in the past? You guys are just party faithfuls. Not Yoruba. Thatβs why you accused Jimi of being an Igbo agenda and play similar politics with Gbadebo. You guys have access to all the propaganda machineries now and it serves your purpose, one day, it will fail you. |
