Omo. Saying Lagos is a no man's land is disrespectful to the people indigenous to that land. The Yorubas that are naturally based in South Western Nigeria own Lagos as their land. Its this kind of behaviour that makes people hate Igbos. How will you come to someone's region and claim ownership.
That is true. However, the reference to Lagos as a no man's land was from alh. Lateef Jakande in 1979...whst can say about that...? Thank you so much for watching, 💙❤️
@@HispleMedia learning that a Lagos state governor himself said such is crazy. Personally, Lagos is Yoruba land. Same goes to Aba/Onitsha as Igboland and Kano as Hausaland. People lived there before colonialism and such history shouldn't be lost because of "Colonial Province" or whatever term it was called. Thanks for another beautiful video by the way. Appreciate the reply 🙏
@@ayenia2736 I actually do not understand what you mean by that... Non of those who reference Lagos as a no man's land did so to despise or to diminish indegenous Lagosians. Jaja Wachuku never meant it that way, neither was lateef Jakande. It has never been an issue until Tinubu came for president and needed to divide the southern votes while hoping to get northern votes. Think!! No place in Nigeria is no man's land. Think!!
While the subject of Lagos as "a No Man's Land" is sufficient fodder for political and socioeconomic expediency (referring to Jaja Nwachukwu, Lateef Jakande and Orji Uzor Kalu among many others) or the ultimate ethno-cultural preservation of the Yorubas, the following will remain incontrovertible: 1. Lagos is a provincial state within Southwestern Nigeria. That makes it a natural part of Yorubaland. 2. As such, the Yoruba language is the predominant language of communication; and that's easily observable in marketplaces, civil service administration, educational institutions and even in the non-obvious pop culture of art, music and film to begin with. Virtually everyone who lives in Lagos can speak and write formal English or pidgin English as a way of bridging communication if the person wasn't brought up in Lagos or scarcely had the opportunity to live with Yorubas, but there's an unspoken advantage if you're not Yoruba and can handle the language in speech and writing. It's one of 3 unbeatable reasons Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour lost that gubernatorial election. I don't know any Lagos State governor who couldn't communicate in Yoruba. 3. Knowing that no matter how many millions of migrants or visitors settle in China or the United States of America, their inability to speak Mandarin/Cantonese or the English language readily deprives you a whole important lot in many areas of those societies is exactly tangential to what anyone would lose in inapparent opportunities in Lagos if you're unable to at least speak the Yoruba language! It's why the wealthiest ethnic group in Lagos is yet the Yorubas and likewise why Sanwo-Olu won 18 out of 20 local government councils in that state!
Bro I'm igbo Lagos is not a no man's land no part of Nigeria is a no man's land and all igbos view Lagos as yorubaland and Nigeria commercial center. Apc just wanted to use that words no man's land in a negative connotation. "No man's land " in a positive connotation actually means a place where all Nigerians can become whatever they want to become a free place where we are all united.

@@darakeo7276 Thank you very much bro I agree with you that some of those people who use the colloquial maxim of "No Man's Land" do it for unity and inclusiveness sake as opposed to others who do it for purely ethnically spiteful reasons. But I don't agree with you on 2 things: 1. GRV didn't win the election. There's no way he'd have won it when I for example saw him on Arise TV tactlessly acknowledge that he couldn't speak Yoruba. If you know the Yorubas too well, and I'm talking about even the very sophisticated ones and not the unlettered; he had already lost the election by that untrained admission. 2. The Yorubas lend more prominence and convenient embrace to meritocracy than they accord religion and whatnot. If you're that familiar with the Yorubas, you'd have noticed this in their family relationship and governance at the various clan levels which cascade onto how they run public government. I mean they care more about competence than they care about Christianity and Islam. As a child, you can get away with not attending the Muslim madrassah or the Christian Sunday School; but you can't tell your parents you're not going to school. It's why Obasanjo's kinsmen in Abeokuta at his residential ward and lineage township didn't vote for him when he contested against Yale-educated Olu Falaiye who was from a different part of Yorubaland thousands of miles from Abeokuta. It's why Moshood Abiola won that presidential election in 1993 overwhelmingly in the Southwest. It's why the Yorubas in their majority preferred Sanwo-Olu to GRV in that gubernatorial election.
Lagos is yorubaland. Nwachukwu cannot come from Abia to tell us who owns Lagos. Just like we will not go to Aba to state that the place is no man’s land. Let us learn to respect each other. Jakande was expressing his personal opinion which is not binding on Lagosians.

So, what you are trying to say is that Nigeria is no man land too (like Lagos) because Nigeria also experienced what Lagos experienced ranging from colonialism, president from different tribe, named by foreigner, many tribes all over African and abroad living there and so on. So if I am a Ghanaian or Chines I can say Nigeria is no man land too. Please, don't let the indigenous peoples of Lagos ( the Aworis, Ijebus, Benins descendants, Egun , Akutes people and so on.) cause you.

🤔🤔🤔 I didn't hold any position in that video... I only dug into the history of how Lagos came to be known as a no man's land giving instances where the name was called. Non of that is my position!! Thanks
Lagos was a No Man's Land when one Nigeria was still effective, when Nigeria was devoid of ethnic and religious profiling but not in this present generation where evil politician due to quest for power has poisoned the minds of the average Nigerians for their own selfish interest
Are you saying we should not identify ourselves with who we are? or are you saying that when the need arises for us to list our achievement we should not do that?, Or are you saying that when we are maltreated that we should only keep quiet? if it were you will you do that?, We are all human and me as an Igbo man you don't treat me badly and expect me to keep answering yes sir, i must react because i am a free born and not slave, even the West knows that during slavery
Jakande never meant it the way the Igbos are perceiving or pushing it. He was saying that in a manner of the Yoruba language. In English when someone comes to visit you either you tell the one to make yourself comfortable or feel at home to make the one feel welcome. In the Yoruba land however one will say "Ile ni ile e". That in English translation means the house is yours. I´m sure only an Igbo man will see it as meaning the house is his, therefore, is no man´s house going by their general and collective perception of reality. We build, this we build that, we are the most superior, we are the most industrious, we are Jews, Egyptians, Biafran, Igbos, and then back again to being "obedient" Nigerians only when it suits them to be. The Yorubas that have been saying that to one another for millenniums no man has ever turned around to start dragging the ownership of a house with the real owner base on that manner of greetings because they understand it to mean "feel at home".

@@darakeo7276 You are absolutely right my brother that´s why Nigerian politics never interest me. Tinubu is not only a curse on Lagosians but the whole Yorubas at large and he is about to extend that to the rest of the country as a whole. I'm a bonafide citizen of Lagos so9 my interest largely is in Lagos even though I´m not based in Nigeria. It is unfortunate however that Tinubu is not one of his kind in Nigeria we have them all over the length and breadth of Nigeria that are ready to play any kind of dirty politics so long it gets them the post. Have you heard anyone of them complaining about the going on in Lagos except their supporters? That´s because they are all into the game including Peter Obi himself. Is not surprising that one of the earliest top personalities to congratulate Tinubu was Jonathan? See the way they both are holding, hugging, and having fun together while the fools are busy killing themselves. Who will ever imagine that Jonathan will be in the rank of those to first congratulate my brother I´m still stunned. None of these bastards' politicians are worth losing one life for. Obi that people were counting on as a messiah and all that. During the campaign, he was busy meeting with the likes of Babangida, Gumi Obasanjo, etc, Imagine these are the same bastards that brought Nigeria to her knees. if Obi was light as people are foolishly assuming him to be why was he mingling with forces of darkness and at ease in their presence? My brother stop allowing yourself to be fooled I can understand and accept the grievance of the Igbos in wanting an Igbo president but I won´t agree and accept Obi as special. Hell, no is a thief too like them all.
You are foolish for saying Tinubu is a curse to yoruba. When the Igbos know they don't say it why can't they condemn it before it's spread over Nigeria? Igbos think they are wise if you like to insult Tinubu it's not my concern. Igbos are the tribe causing problem today. They insult anybody that goes against them. And for your information, the first man that refers Lagos as no man's land is an Igbo man not jankande.
Fellow NIG look at things from this angle emerging moving to FCT and live for 50-60 years and one day you start making assertion that FCT is no man’s land and see what will happen
Bro....go and do your research well before dropping video....Eko no as lagos was found by Benin King ....that name call Eko..he mean camp given by the Benin king...ask questions wel
What do you mean was found by Benin king? Does the bini king tell you it was a barren land devoid of indigenous Aworis when his kingdom invaded the place? And what happens to the Benins settlers that were supposed to be there whose traces are absent except among few royalty?
@hakeem abina look at you....Benin was also doing business there before any order person after war fights with the Portuguese.....Benin have history...more dam the country call nigeria....the king that is rule lagos don't you no is Benin Eko is Benin language iyaniyana ipaja given benin & idumota and so many more.....its was call Eko by d Benin...Portuguese the first colonial call its lagos after them.....if you think i am lie ......go and ask your grandfather..... Will are not talking about development.the founder and the right people's
@@osawaru86 Look is hard reading your comment. If you can try to write it in better English then we can get into a discussion, not the way it is now. I´m from Eko itself and I´m sure you can´t tell me the history of my home town. I agree with you that the name Eko is Benin but the land was habited by Yorubas Aworis long before they came in. So see it your own way is ok it wouldn´t change the fact that it belongs to the Yorubas and will forever continue to be. The Benins were invaders not the original dwellers and that is why the name they have for the place is military in orientation CAMP not a name of a settlement. Like military barracks in Benin for instance that Hausas, Fulanis, Igbos, Yorubas, and others can be. Or when the Nigerian army went to Liberia they have their camp, not a settlement. Look at the map yourself and stop arguing unreasonably. Look at where Lagos is and the people that surround them and where Benin is.
I loved all your videos but this one you just posted doesn’t speak well of your channel anymore because u clearly do not understand and bias especially the title of your video. Lagos belongs to lagosians or omo Eko. This ethic stuffs igbos are pushing will definitely hunt them when the Hausas get involved.

@@darakeo7276 well said and I appreciate u mentioned it’s I the south western part and Yoruba land. But the south eastern people should know mentioning it’s a no man land is provocation to the westerners especially the Eko indigenes we all have where we originate from and need to respect each other. Majority of Yorubas are happy with the blue print of someone that fought for the democracy of Nigeria (Asiwaju). It is now very apparent that igbos Dnt want him. But like I say, we all need to be very careful hence, it’s gonna go worse.
Thank you for your feedback. if you watch the video, I'm sure you would have a different view. The video doesn't anyway show or portrays ethnic bias. We only show historical facts. The first reference to Lagos as a no man's land was made in 1947, the second was in 1979 and lastly in 2013. These instances were all captured in the video. One very prominent instance was made by a respected Yoruba leader, not an Igbo man.. I encourage that we look beyond the headlines (title) because a title is meant to attract a click...the only bad thing is when the title is clickbaiting. In this case, it's not. So, thank you very much for your continued support support. I appreciate you.
I think I need to go out of the way to put bigots like you in their right place. You make baseless statements because you already hv a preconceived notion of who to consider bias... This video is mostly a quote of people's statements. Which part of the video makes it bias? Is it the Jaja nwachukwu statement that am bias about or the lateef Jakande statement or the orji Kalu? Don't come here and make baseless and useless comments if you can't leave your ethnic bias and bigotry behind. You should be ashamed of yourself. I'm not even sure you actually watched the video.
Why do the Igbos, of all the tribes in Nigeria, always want to grab lands that do not belong to them? They migrated to Portharcourt, most of the south south, and Delta region, to grab the oil. Biafra map, which should be limited to the eastern states, is deliberately extended to include all the southsouth, and the delta region. Seems Nigerians may have to fight many more wars to curtail the igbos expansionism. You guys misread the resolve of other Nigerians and tried to exploit and dominate Nigeria militarily and politically post independence, leading to the civil war. The senseless, barbaric and merciless killings of northern and western officers, spiritual and religious leaders, dehumanization of the southsouth communities, etc are still fresh in memories. Please stop poking the bear!
Neither Jaja nor Jakande meant any harm... Todays politicians are exploiting this harmless statement as divide and rule strategies. Thanks

@@darakeo7276 You are absolutely right my brother that´s why Nigerian politics never interest me. Tinubu is not only a curse on Lagosians but the whole Yorubas at large and he is about to extend that to the rest of the country as a whole. I'm a bonafide citizen of Lagos so9 my interest largely is in Lagos even though I´m not based in Nigeria. It is unfortunate however that Tinubu is not one of his kind in Nigeria we have them all over the length and breadth of Nigeria that are ready to play any kind of dirty politics so long it gets them the post. Have you heard anyone of them complaining about the going on in Lagos except their supporters?
That´s because they are all into the game including Peter Obi himself. Is not surprising that one of the earliest top personalities to congratulate Tinubu was Jonathan? See the way they both are holding, hugging, and having fun together while the fools are busy killing themselves. Who will ever imagine that Jonathan will be in the rank of those to first congratulate my brother I´m still stunned. None of these bastards' politicians are worth losing one life for. Obi that people were counting on as a messiah and all that. During the campaign, he was busy meeting with the likes of Babangida, Gumi Obasanjo, etc, Imagine these are the same bastards that brought Nigeria to her knees.
if Obi was light as people are foolishly assuming him to be why was he mingling with forces of darkness and at ease in their presence? My brother stop allowing yourself to be fooled I can understand and accept the grievance of the Igbos in wanting an Igbo president but I won´t agree and accept Obi as special. Hell, no is a thief too like them all.
@@oluwalomejooda001they’re all politicians,none of them is pure..
They have their own flaws..
You are foolish for saying Tinubu is a curse to yoruba. When the Igbos know they don't say it why can't they condemn it before it's spread over Nigeria? Igbos think they are wise if you like to insult Tinubu it's not my concern. Igbos are the tribe causing problem today. They insult anybody that goes against them. And for your information, the first man that refers Lagos as no man's land is an Igbo man not jankande.
@@odedejimodinat9047 Ok o mabinu o omo Tinubu.
Fellow NIG look at things from this angle emerging moving to FCT and live for 50-60 years and one day you start making assertion that FCT is no man’s land and see what will happen
Bro....go and do your research well before dropping video....Eko no as lagos was found by Benin King ....that name call Eko..he mean camp given by the Benin king...ask questions wel
What do you mean was found by Benin king? Does the bini king tell you it was a barren land devoid of indigenous Aworis when his kingdom invaded the place? And what happens to the Benins settlers that were supposed to be there whose traces are absent except among few royalty?
@hakeem abina look at you....Benin was also doing business there before any order person after war fights with the Portuguese.....Benin have history...more dam the country call nigeria....the king that is rule lagos don't you no is Benin
Eko is Benin language iyaniyana ipaja given benin & idumota and so many more.....its was call Eko by d Benin...Portuguese the first colonial call its lagos after them.....if you think i am
lie ......go and ask your grandfather.....
Will are not talking about development.the founder and the right people's
@@osawaru86 Look is hard reading your comment. If you can try to write it in better English then we can get into a discussion, not the way it is now. I´m from Eko itself and I´m sure you can´t tell me the history of my home town. I agree with you that the name Eko is Benin but the land was habited by Yorubas Aworis long before they came in. So see it your own way is ok it wouldn´t change the fact that it belongs to the Yorubas and will forever continue to be. The Benins were invaders not the original dwellers and that is why the name they have for the place is military in orientation CAMP not a name of a settlement. Like military barracks in Benin for instance that Hausas, Fulanis, Igbos, Yorubas, and others can be. Or when the Nigerian army went to Liberia they have their camp, not a settlement. Look at the map yourself and stop arguing unreasonably. Look at where Lagos is and the people that surround them and where Benin is.
I loved all your videos but this one you just posted doesn’t speak well of your channel anymore because u clearly do not understand and bias especially the title of your video. Lagos belongs to lagosians or omo Eko. This ethic stuffs igbos are pushing will definitely hunt them when the Hausas get involved.
Bro I'm igbo Lagos is not a no man's land no part of Nigeria is a no man's land and all igbos view Lagos as yorubaland and Nigeria commercial center. Apc just wanted to use that words no man's land in a negative connotation. "No man's land " in a positive connotation actually means a place where all Nigerians can become whatever they want to become a free place where we are all united. And if Lagos happens to be that place it doesn't change the fact that Lagos is today a southwest geography and a yorubaland. Nobody can change this fact forever and so it is in all other states in nigeria. Apc is just persecuting igbos in order to divide igbos and yorubas and to dodge the fact that they have impoverished the yorubas, indigenes and that Lagos has been captured by one man tinubu for 24 years. I pity people that fall for their propaganda. They even open accounts with igbo names to push negative comments to infuriate yorubas. People should shine their eyes.
@@darakeo7276 well said and I appreciate u mentioned it’s I the south western part and Yoruba land. But the south eastern people should know mentioning it’s a no man land is provocation to the westerners especially the Eko indigenes we all have where we originate from and need to respect each other. Majority of Yorubas are happy with the blue print of someone that fought for the democracy of Nigeria (Asiwaju). It is now very apparent that igbos Dnt want him. But like I say, we all need to be very careful hence, it’s gonna go worse.
Thank you for your feedback. if you watch the video, I'm sure you would have a different view. The video doesn't anyway show or portrays ethnic bias. We only show historical facts. The first reference to Lagos as a no man's land was made in 1947, the second was in 1979 and lastly in 2013. These instances were all captured in the video. One very prominent instance was made by a respected Yoruba leader, not an Igbo man..
I encourage that we look beyond the headlines (title) because a title is meant to attract a click...the only bad thing is when the title is clickbaiting. In this case, it's not.
So, thank you very much for your continued support support. I appreciate you.
It's quite unfortunate!! Thank you for watching... I appreciate your feedback
This video says a lot about your position! Very bias👎🏿
I think I need to go out of the way to put bigots like you in their right place. You make baseless statements because you already hv a preconceived notion of who to consider bias... This video is mostly a quote of people's statements. Which part of the video makes it bias? Is it the Jaja nwachukwu statement that am bias about or the lateef Jakande statement or the orji Kalu?
Don't come here and make baseless and useless comments if you can't leave your ethnic bias and bigotry behind.
You should be ashamed of yourself. I'm not even sure you actually watched the video.
This guy must love his own voice, quotation by some Nigerians make Lagos a no man’s land?, cow manure
Why do the Igbos, of all the tribes in Nigeria, always want to grab lands that do not belong to them? They migrated to Portharcourt, most of the south south, and Delta region, to grab the oil. Biafra map, which should be limited to the eastern states, is deliberately extended to include all the southsouth, and the delta region. Seems Nigerians may have to fight many more wars to curtail the igbos expansionism. You guys misread the resolve of other Nigerians and tried to exploit and dominate Nigeria militarily and politically post independence, leading to the civil war. The senseless, barbaric and merciless killings of northern and western officers, spiritual and religious leaders, dehumanization of the southsouth communities, etc are still fresh in memories. Please stop poking the bear!
