LAGOS 101! WHO OWNS LAGOS?

LAGOS MY STATE WHO OWNS LAGOS? HISTORY 101:POINT OF INFORMATION "By 1872 Lagos was a cosmopolitan trading center with a population of over 60,000 people.Colonial Lagos developed into a busy, cosmopolitan port, with an architecture that blended Victorian and Brazilian styles.The Brazilian element was imparted by skilled builders and masons who had returned from Brazil Th.e black elite was composed of English-speaking "Saros" from Sierra Leone and other emancipated slaves who had been repatriated from Brazil and Cuba.By 1872 the population of the colony was over 60,000, of whom less than 100 were of European origin. In 1876 imports were valued at £476,813 and exports at £619,260. Telephone links with Britain were established by 1886, and electric street lighting in 1898.In August 1896, Charles Joseph George and G.W. Neville,both merchants and both unofficial members of the Legislative Council, presented a petition urging construction of the railway terminus on Lagos Island rather than at Ido, and also asking for the railway to be extended to Abeokuta. Lagos history is rich in Yoruba tradition,trade and commerce,infrastructural development and cosmopolitanism." -EXTRACTED With the little facts above, I would like to educate some illiterates making stupid assumption from blind sentiments that they developed Lagos. Lagosians had telephone presence in 1886, Itu and Calabar got connected to Telephone in 1923, while between 1946 and 1952, a three-channel line carrier system was commissioned between Lagos and Ibadan and was later extended to Oshogbo, Kaduna, Kano, Benin, and Enugu. Communication technology is a major signifier of civilizations and if Lagosians were already making telephone calls more than 70 years before your daddies, where then did you get the warped idea that you came to develop Lagos? By 1856 Cable and Wireless Company of the UK had commissioned a submarine cable link between Lagos and London and In 1851 a post office was established in Lagos; all these before of the emergence of Nigeria as an amalgamated country. If I may ask again, where did the stupid idea that Igbo developed Lagos came from? Or that Lagos was developed with Nigeria's money when Lagos was not even part of Nigeria until 1914. I always feel embarrassed anytime I read and hear even so-called educated people from the East making these stupid assertions. The first Yoruba lawyer Christopher Alexander Sapara Williams was called to the English Bar in 1879 whilst the first Igbo lawyer, Sir Louis Mbanefo, was called to the English bar in 1937. Again the first Yoruba medical practitioner, Dr. Nathaniel King, graduated in 1875 from the University of Edinburgh whilst the first Igbo medical practitioner, Dr. Akannu Ibiam, graduated from another Scottish University in 1935. Again I ask, where did the ignorant hypothesis of the backward Yoruba race who needed development by the superior Igbo race come from? For the sake of our generation and posterity we need to teach factual history and not just cook up some cock and bull ego-centric concoctions as facts. The attitude of recycling long tales steeped in empty arrogance should be discarded before you miseducate your kids with fictions. Awolowo will continue to be the Yoruba hero not because of blind followership but because he gave his people the system of free education, free healthcare and he introduced Television to the Yoruba; making Yorubaland the first region to have a TV station in Africa all done with revenues from Cocoa. It is crass ignorance and naked buffonery to claim Lagos was built with Nigeria's money. In addition, where did the foolish idea that the Igbo brought civilization to Lagos and Yoruba-land come from? The aim of this post is not to deride any tribe but to correct the dangerous misinformation trending among some Igbo youths and common in their narratives that Lagos is a no-man's land and that their fathers built and develop Lagos. Your forebears came to Yoruba-land like every other settlers and we appreciate their contributions but the stupid claim that Igbo built and develop Lagos is a gross display of stupidity because Lagos was already developed before your forebears came here from their villages and towns. The first storey building in Nigeria was built in Marina, Badagry in 1845, long before some of hinterland people gave up the idea of conical mud houses with thatched roofs which some boastfully called 'ancient mansions.' How can you now claim your grand-sires developed Lagos? Please if you are one of those spreading the fiction, I expect you to desist from self-delusion and collective amnesia forthwith. The first Igbo alphabet-character set and Igbo primer (Isoama-Ibo) was published by Bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther (a yoruba man from Osogun) in 1857. How can you now claim superiority over the Yoruba race and even carelessly affirm that your forebears should be thanked for bringing enlightenment to Yoruba Land? While I do not see all these achievements as a sign of Yoruba superiority over the Igbo or any other tribe for I do not believe in racial superiority; I will not also tolerate any attempt by bigots who stoke ethnic hatred through incitement and arrogant claims of superiority over others. Gbam! Lagos 101🙄🤓😎

Moji Olaiya's 20yrs Old Daughter Want Burial in Nigeria

Moji Olaiya’s Daughter Insists Her Mum Must Be Buried In Nigeria And Not Canada

_

The burial arrangement of recently deceased Yoruba actress, #MojiOlaiya is causing an unexpected rift within the family.

_

The late actress was a practising Muslim who converted from Christianity as an adult, and certain members of her family are suggesting that she be interred today according to Muslim rites.

_

However, her 20-year-old daughter, Adun is having none of that and insists that her mother’s corpse be brought back for burial in Nigeria.

_

Although family members ushered her into a secluded room to calm her down, the grieving young lady kept repeating that she wants to see her mother.

_

‘She must be brought back,’ Adun said. ‘I don’t care what anybody says, I just want my mother’s body’. _

It could, however, be difficult to bury her the same day as internments are costly in developed countries.

_

In Canada where she died, funeral costs can rise as high as $15,000. Flying her body back on the other hand could cost around half that figure.

_

There is no concrete plan for her burial at this minute.

NollyWood Actress Moji Olaiya dies of Cardiac Arrest in Canada

Popular Yoruba Actress, Moji Olaiya Dies Of Cardiac Arrest In Canada

Few weeks after the death of two prominent Yoruba actors, Olumide Bakare and Pastor Ajidara, another popular Yoruba Nollywood actress, Moji Olaiya has died of cardiac arrest in Canada.Moji, daughter of Nigeria's high life music legend, Victor Olaiya, was confirmed dead barely two months after welcoming her second child in Canada, just a few months after she officially divorced her first husband to remarry another one. 

Few weeks after the death of two prominent Yoruba actors, Olumide Bakare and Pastor Ajidara, another popular Yoruba Nollywood actress, Moji Olaiya has died of cardiac arrest in Canada.

Moji, daughter of Nigeria's high life music legend, Victor Olaiya, was confirmed dead barely two months after welcoming her second child in Canada, just a few months after she officially divorced her first husband to remarry another one.

A close family source claimed the 42-year-old actress might be buried in Canada as her aged mother lives in Nigeria and its a taboo in Yoruba land to see the corpse of one’s child.

Moji’s first marriage crashed in 2008, and the Yoruba actress decided to remarry last year at a quiet ceremony in Nigeria. She became more popular with Wale Adenuga's production Super Story in the 90's. Before her death, she featured in several Nollywood movies of Yoruba and English genres.

HOW TO BEAT YOUR WIFE DAILY!

*RECOMMENDED WAYS TO BEAT YOUR WIFE*:
'Sir, I won't lie to you. At times, I feel I should beat my wife. She does some annoying things & I just feel like beating her...' That was what Mr. Friday ( not real name) told me as he came to complain about his wife to me in the office. I told him, I also beat my wife Wunmi Ajibode Ogunlolu, in fact I beat her daily just like all men do. The only different is how we beat our wives. I don't use belt, I don't use abusive words, I don't use sex starvation to beat her, I don't use blow, I don't use kick.

I am a king & married to a queen. Such don't happen in a palace like ours. This is the way I 'beat' my wife and I recommended it for Mr. Friday& I am recommending it for all men. The reason why my Queen  can't leave me is because she is enjoying the beating.

This is the way I beat her. I beat her by:
B- BEAUTIFYING HER.
E- ENCOURAGING HER.
A- ASSISTING HER
T- TREATING HER AS A QUEEN.

No woman can die in your hands no matter how many times you beat her in a day as long as you do it the way I do it to my Queen. I know this is the way women will love their husbands to beat them. There can't be divorce or separation if we 'beat' our wives like this. When you use belt, wire, blow, knife , slap, or any domestic violence means on your wife, you are worthy to be awarded a duplex at Neuro Psychiatric Hospital or you can go there yourself and tell them to detain you there until you are okay. For all excellent husbands, follow that syllabus I gave you on how I beat my own Queen daily & go and do likewise.
The joy of your family is my priority.

WISDOM FOR WIVES!

As a Wife, Your BEAUTY attracts your husband, but your WISDOM will continue to keep him! Your ELEGANCE catches his ATTENTION, but your INTELLIGENCE convinces him!

NAGGING irritates your husband, but your "Constructive Silence" weakens him! Remember that the "boyish" character in your husband comes out occasionally, But your ability to always handle it, is a sign that you are a MATURED WIFE!

Every man has "Secret Struggles and Pains, including your husband, if you should ever find them out from him, Please exhibit the greatest maturity by asking the Originator of your marriage, (GOD) to help you with USEFUL IDEAS, that you will suggest to him (your husband)! In the long-run, your WORDS matters to your husband than your "LOOKS"! So always invest the RIGHT WORDS! Earn your husband's respect and he will consider you as the yard-stick for all his actions!

Learn to mould your husband's moods, and he will naturally give you his "FUTURE" as he recalls your maturity in the past issues! Note that, WOMEN are everywhere, but REAL WIVES are scarce, let the QUEEN in you come alive, and your husband will always hold you in a very HIGH ESTEEM!

Please don't be selfish, forward this to every wife you know, so that we will together make the "BEST MARRIAGES"

In our society at large! I just did my own part! God help us!        

Thank you for reading
