Lagos's wealth and significance came from the Yoruba civil war and Yoruba trade—not its ports.
Until 1914, ships bound for Lagos had to dock at Forcados, with goods later transferred to Lagos via small boats because Lagos harbor couldn't accommodate large vessels.

lol, the word “Egusi” isn’t not even a Yoruba word. It’s pronounced by the native speakers of the language as Egwusi and I bet the pronunciation still varies among their tribes. The same way you’d know an Emeka is Igbo despite where he grows up is the same way with Egusi

Contrary to popular opinion, it was actually the British who rescued the Fulanis from the Yorubas in Ilorin and restored Fulani rule.
Throughout much of the 19th and early 20th centuries, the Fulanis and their Emir were slaves to Yoruba Baloguns.

It has gotten to the point where “Uchenna” now writes Yoruba history, on top of that he claims “olukumi” has a distinct Lineage from Yoruba quoting Obasanjo🤨
These People need to understand We Yorubas never identified as “Olukumi”.
Avoid this book by all means.
This project has been a labor of love, and I'm deeply grateful to everyone who helped make it a reality.
Now, the Olukumi people have a place in the rich tapestry of global history.
Thank you for allowing us to contribute to this vital body of knowledge.

Gambari keep quiet, the Igbos do not respect their own lives in the region they live in, and neither do they regard Non-Igbos or the Nigerian Constitution, we will do the same.
This is the reason why

This is what they want, we are going to make it a reality.

The Yorubaness of Usen has been recorded by Northcote Thomas as far back as 1920.
Usen is Yorubaland💯
A Yoruba man from Usen in Edo State expresses his frustration at the attempts by the Benin people to eradicate their culture and language, by prohibiting Yoruba education for children and imposing Benin language in schools, as well as encroaching on their territory.

It's ironic how a “Saro”, whose ancestors in the 19th century were devoted to their kith and kin in the hinterland, now portrays himself as an “Indigene” of Lagos Island.
Your ancestors did not identify with the indigenous people(Awori ), and neither were they “Lagosians”.
