Afrobeat legend, late Fela Anikulapo Kuti’s son, Seun Kuti has gone all out at those saying that Lagos is a Yoruba land.
Taken to his Instagram page, the singer and saxophonist wrote; “Lagos is no man’s land – WRONG. Lagos is Yoruba land – WRONG AGAIN. Lagos is a European satellite slave port – CORRECT!!”
“Hey Ode look here LAGOS IS A PORTUGESE WORD! It was called the SLAVE COAST. Learn your history u no go gree.”
“Ok ok ok… Lagos is a European satellite slave port city, Chaired by Yoruba Slavers. How about that. Accurate?”
This is coming after Nollywood star actor, Yul Edochie stated that Lagos is a Yoruba state in Yoruba land.
The actor said; “I’ve lived in Lagos since 2011. I built my house there. Not have I experienced any form of rejection or hate from the Lagosians.”
“Anytime Yoruba boys see me on the street, they gather to greet me, and it’s all love always. And this talk flying around that Lagos is a no man’s land is wrong.”
“Lagos is a Yoruba state in Yoruba land. Imagine anyone calling Anambra a no-man’s land. That’s crap. Anambra is an Igbo land. You are looking for trouble if you come into someone’s land and tell the person it’s now a no man’s land.”
“Igbos’ immense contribution to Lagos development is undeniable. Other tribes also contributed in their own ways too. And the Yoruba as well have been largely accommodating. It shouldn’t take away the fact that Lagos is a Yoruba land. We are not dragging ownership. Let’s kill tribalism before it kills us.”
