Use your head and compare like for like. California joined the United State much later. They cannot say New York people can't come to California. To do that, they'd have to breakaway from the US, then they can regulate their borders.

You cannot be within a country and say you wanna regulate your borders. If you cannot regulate your border, how then can you say its your land?

Did Obasanjo and Gowon seize Igboland by right of conquest?

Not all Igbos are from SE. I'm not from SE!

You're not an indigenous Lagosian and if you're, you have Stockholm syndrome.

What is the Yoruba word for Lagos?

The Slave Coast will eventually be ruled by the Aboriginals eventually.

Nice one.
And there should be a customized 'asoebi' which must be worn by everyone residing in Lagos be you Igbo or Hausa most especially traders across the state.
Failure to comply should attract stiff penalties.
This will be a constant reminder that Lagos is no mans land.

Let the celebrations go on as long as they don't restrict other tribe from movement ,like they do during Thier Oro ........


Yorubas go do Owambe for 3rd Mainland Bridge and Middle of Dual Carriageway
Teach yourself Patience

Apapa Port Road is going down and nothing is moving in or out
Apapa Port will be one big Owambe and Praise Worship Party and Nothing that is not flying is moving
Lagos is Yorubaland and we must Thank God for it in appreciation mightily and heavily

The Bata Talking Drummers will be Imported from Oyo and Osogbo you will not hear Word for Lagos
That week na Talking Drums you go hear through out

You better Start learning how to eat Amala and Ewedu before September
because you will eat it until it pours out of your Nostrils

Also Half of Lagos State is inside Ijebuland!!

Oya Ijebu people your work has landed , get Cracking you must bring Lagos to complete Standstill!!

where ever you come from is your business, why i am I not even surprised you are from a failed state, yet you can talk down on people achieving far greater success than you grin don’t you think delta can also be like Lagos? Maybe if you do use more on your governor maybe you won’t have the need to come to lagos and be a second class citizen and be bothered about who Yorubas elect to govern there affairs.

Lagos is Yoruba land, the egun are our cousin and they're not denying that..

Yeah, but Badagry is Egun. I agree they are our cousins. The Eguns and Yorubas have been living together for centuries. In Ogun State they have Ipokia Local Government, in Lagos State, they have Badagry Local Government. In Benin Republic, they live side by side with the indigenous Yoruba there. We are 5 & 6.

The revenue being shared to Lagos from the national wealth including all the fg projects in Lagos, how much comes from the contribution of SW states? Maybe Ondo to a small extent.


Why are you always sad about any positive news concerning Lagos?

Celebrate your culture and leave the people of Lagos to celebrate their cultural heritage.
It doesn't detract anything from you.

Live and let us live

For your info what we hear most in Lagos public. Either markets, public transport etc is Igbo language. You only hear ppl speaking yoruba in those useless public schools.

You don't get it. You cannot be in a country and still retain your 'country' before joining. When you agreed to join the Nigerian state at independent, you give up your 'country'.

To get it back, you must secede. Your statement regarding Biafra is not making sense. You killed millions of Biafra to force them to return to Nigeria and you say they should be grateful?


Ojukwu killed his own People why did Ojukwu reject the food Corridors Gowon offered Biafran people to be fed?

The Lagos State Government has announced plans to dedicate the last week of September every year as “Yoruba Week” to celebrate the Yoruba culture.

In a press statement on Monday by the Chief Press Secretary to the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Eromosele Ebhomele, the move is to preserve and promote the rich Yoruba cultural heritage.

The decision was conveyed to the Lagos State House of Assembly through a letter from the executive arm, following a resolution passed by the lawmakers on September 19, 2023, calling for the activation of Yoruba cultural heritage and the assignment of a special day as Yoruba Day.

The letter, dated April 8, 2024, and signed by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture, stated, “Sequel to the resolution of the House at its plenary of Tuesday, 19th September, 2023, on the activation of Yoruba cultural heritage and a special day to be assigned as Yoruba day, I have the directive to officially convey Mr. Governor’s approval for the last week of September as Yoruba Week.”

That's impressive. Yoruba culture and language are among the few African traditions that are globally respected.

Lagos Island and major Yoruba cultural towns have to continuously undergo gentrifications and local security upgrades to attract more tourists and income from the Yoruba Diaspora and Yoruba religion adherants in Brazil, Cuba, Trinidad and Tobago, Haiti, Jamaica, USA, UK, Portugal, etc.


Destination: Last week of September 2024.

This is a laudable way to further promote the Yoruba cultural brand that's already a global brand beyond the boundaries of a multiethnic society like Nigeria.

This week will further attract our kith and kin in Yoruba communities domiciled in the diaspora , Ghana, Togo, Benin, Caribbean, North and South American countries to invest in Nigeria.

May God bless Nigeria for ever! Check my signature for free stuffs!

Amen. May God bless Nigeria.
I see some women from other tribes nowadays kneel to greet elderly people. Our good culture should be preserved and promoted.
Then, this is the kind of progressive thing you should support. You can't be blinded by bias and partisan yet think/claim you love this country.
Nigerians fight one another and continue supporting the evil ones who have divided themselves into different political parties but same Nigerians still wondering why things are the way it is.
